Apple TV+ Show ‘Silo’ to Return for Second Season in November
Apple TV+ has announced that the second season of its sci-fi show “Silo” will premiere on Friday, November 15, 2024.
“Silo” follows the last ten thousand people on Earth who live in a massive underground bunker to escape the toxic environment above. The inhabitants are unaware of why the silo was built, and those who seek the truth face deadly consequences. Rebecca Ferguson stars as Juliette, an engineer who uncovers deeper mysteries while investigating a loved one’s murder. The second season will continue to explore the storylines from the first season, with new twists and revelations.
The first season of “Silo” premiered on May 5, 2023, and production for the second season was delayed due to the 2023 Hollywood strikes. Based on the Wool trilogy by Hugh Howey, the new season will feature ten episodes, releasing weekly until January 17, 2025.
The announcement was made at Comic-Con 2024 (via Deadline), where it was also revealed that Steve Zahn will join the cast. Zahn made a surprise appearance at the fan panel alongside creator and showrunner Graham Yost, author and executive producer Hugh Howey, executive producer Rebecca Ferguson, and star Common. In addition to Zahn, the returning cast includes Tim Robbins, Harriet Walter, Chinaza Uche, Avi Nash, Alexandria Riley, Shane McCrae, Remmie Milner, Clare Perkins, Billy Postlethwaite, Rick Gomez, Caitlin Zoz, Tanya Moodie, and Iain Glen.

Border agents can’t search cellphones of NYC visitors without a warrant, court rules
A federal court has ruled that United States border agents cannot search cellphones without warrants in the Eastern District of New York. The decision applies to both US citizens and international visitors entering the region, which includes New York City, the most-visited site by overseas travelers.
The case stems from a 2022 incident in which border agents manually searched the phone of a man named Kurbonali Sultanov at JFK Airport in New York. He initially refused and then handed over the device once agents said he had no choice. The phone was later searched more thoroughly with a warrant, but Sultanov moved to suppress evidence obtained during the initial search, claiming it violated his rights.
Civil liberties groups backed the motion. “As the court recognizes, warrantless searches of electronic devices at the border are an unjustified intrusion into travelers’ private expressions, personal associations, and journalistic endeavors — activities the First and Fourth Amendments were designed to protect,” said Scott Wilkens, senior counsel at the Knight First Amendment Institute. The court didn’t dismiss the evidence, however, claiming the border agents acted in good faith.
The debate over whether border control agents can search electronic devices has raged for years. In 2017, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic Frontier Foundation filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security on behalf of 11 individuals who had their phones searched at the border.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/border-agents-cant-search-cellphones-of-nyc-visitors-without-a-warrant-court-rules-130231682.html?src=rss

Half of businesses report an increase in state-sponsored cyber threats amid rising geopolitical tension
State-sponsored attacks are on the rise, and CISOs are worried about their jobs.
In the past 12 months, almost half of enterprises in the United Kingdom (47%) were attacked by an “increasing number” of state-sponsored threat actors. This is according to “A Look at Cyber Resilience and Security Across the United Kingdom,” a new research paper published recently by cybersecurity experts Absolute.
Surveying 250 UK CISOs for the report, Absolute found that 48% of firms were struck by a ransomware attack in the past year. Furthermore, more than two-thirds (69%) said the financial loss from a successful ransomware attack could cripple their enterprise.
All of this has made ransomware the enterprise’s biggest cybersecurity concern for 80% of the respondents. But CISOs are not just worried about the enterprises they are working for, they are also worried about themselves. Almost two-thirds (62%) said they could lose their job if their enterprise suffered a major successful ransomware attack.
Ignoring the NCSC
One would think that in such a climate, enterprises would be doing all they can to remain secure and prevent ransomware attacks from happening, yet the report found more than a third (35%) completely ignoring the National Cyber Security Centre’s (NCSC) cyber guidance.
What’s more, two-thirds (64%) said the UK has a poor cyber-resilience strategy which does not define clear response policies to recover from cyber breaches. Ultimately, 43% admitted their cybersecurity teams haven’t been given enough budget to keep their enterprise thoroughly protected.
State-sponsored attackers are not the only ones increasing the volume of attacks in recent times. New reports are suggesting that cyberattacks are rising across the board, with the average organization now experiencing 1,636 attacks every week, according to Check Point Research. These are mostly ransomware and Business Email Compromise (BEC) attacks, and they are up 25% between Q1 and Q2, 2024.
This “relentless onslaught of attacks,” as CPR describes it, is mostly driven by the growing sophistication and persistence of threat actors, since Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) gave even low-level threat actors the tools usually reserved only for the biggest and most dangerous of groups.
