As I could find no reporting discussing the actual hazard of this level of contamination, I took the liberty of using the provided data to see if these levels are something I should be concerned about. A bit Read More

Hitting the news this week … cyber criminals leaked 2.7 billion records of personal information for US, UK and Canadian citizens on a dark web forum. Information included names, social security numbers, all known physical addresses, and possible aliases. Yikes.
Information appears to have been stolen from a company called National Public Data, a company that collects and sells this data for use in background checks, to obtain criminal records, and for private investigators. The company is believed to scrape this data from public Read More

Los Alamos
For the Los Alamos Daily Post
In a move proving that they are literally worse than blood sucking leeches, cyber criminals sunk to a new low and caught non-profit OneBlood in a ransomware attack.

They operate more than 90 donor centers and have a fleet of over 350 donation buses.
OneBlood is still operational, but operating under limited capacity. They have issued a critical call for donors, and the hospitals Read More

- Economists calculate influence on job creation, tax revenue and related industries
A joint analysis recently released by two New Mexico academics determined that Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) contributes more than $3.7 billion to the state and regional economies.
