“Astonishing failures” over a 5-year span.

Morgan Stanley on Tuesday agreed to pay the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) a $35 million penalty for data security lapses that included unencrypted hard drives from decommissioned data centers being resold on auction sites without first being wiped.
The SEC action said that the improper disposal of thousands of hard drives starting in 2016 was part of an “extensive failure” over a five-year period to safeguard customers’ data as required by federal regulations. The agency said that the failures also included the improper disposal of hard drives and backup tapes when decommissioning servers in local branches. In all, the SEC said data for 15 million customers was exposed.
“MSSB’s failures in this case are astonishing,” said Gurbir S. Grewal, director of the SEC’s enforcement division, using the initials for Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, the full name of the firm. “Customers entrust their personal information to financial professionals with the understanding and expectation that it will be protected, and MSSB fell woefully short in doing so.”
Judge lowers $7B award but agrees Charter is liable.

Charter Communications must pay over $1.1 billion to the estate and family of an 83-year-old woman murdered in her home by a Spectrum cable technician, a Dallas County Court judge ruled yesterday.
A jury in the same court previously ordered Charter to pay $7 billion in punitive damages and $337.5 million in compensatory damages. Judge Juan Renteria lowered the award in a ruling issued yesterday.
The damages are split among the estate and four adult children of murder victim Betty Thomas. Renteria did not change the compensatory damages but lowered the punitive damages awarded to the family to $750 million. Pre-judgment interest on the damages pushes Charter's total liability to over $1.1 billion.
The DART spacecraft will smash into a small asteroid to alter its orbit.

This coming Monday, NASA will broadcast its first attempt to modify the orbit of an asteroid, a capability that will be essential if we detect an asteroid that poses a threat of colliding with Earth. The planetary defense effort is focused on a craft called DART, for Double Asteroid Redirection Test, which will target a small asteroid called Dimorphos that orbits the larger 65803 Didymos, forming a binary system. If all goes according to plan, DART will direct itself to a head-on collision that slows Dimorphos, altering its orbit around Didymos. NASA has repeatedly emphasized that there's no way for either asteroid or any material released by the collision to pose a threat to Earth.
Ars will be at the mission control center in the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) for the planned collision, which will also be broadcast live on NASA's YouTube channels. While we'll know immediately whether the collision occurred as planned, it may take several months before we're certain that Dimorphos' orbit was successfully modified.
To get you ready for Monday's festivities, we've put together a background on the DART mission and the planned follow-up observations.
Bell Media and several other companies have sued two “John Doe” operators of streaming servers at Canada’s Federal Court. The rightsholders want to take action to reduce the availability of pirated sports streams during the upcoming FIFA World Cup. The targeted services were allegedly indexed by popular streaming aggregators such as soccerstreamlinks.com and Bingsport.

In November, billions of people from all over the world will tune in to watch the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Most viewers will do so through authorized services but events like this draw massive pirate audiences as well. In anticipation, several Canadian media companies are taking legal action.
A few days ago, media giant Bell Media requested an injunction against two “John Doe” operators of sports streaming services that are expected to broadcast the FIFA World Cup. The operators are only identified by the IP addresses through which they publish these streams.
Bell’s TSN4 network has the right to the FIFA broadcasts and with this lawsuit, the company wants to take preemptive action.
The services of the John Doe defendants previously streamed Major League Soccer games without permission. And since they rebroadcast the plaintiffs’ stations, it is likely that they will also stream the World Cup to their visitors.
“The Defendants are operators of Unauthorized Streaming Servers providing unauthorized access in Canada to Plaintiffs’ Stations that will broadcast FIFA World Cup Live Matches for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022,” the plaintiffs write.
The first defendant makes pirated content available through servers located in the British Virgin Islands, Russia, and the United Kingdom. These are hosted by providers incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and Ukraine.
The pirated streams appeared on various public sports piracy sites including bingsport.xyz and papahd.club, and through link aggregator sites such as soccerstreamlinks.com, redditsoccerstream.org, and soccerstream.net.
Defendant number two has servers that are physically located in Belize and hosted by a company from the same country. These streams are available through sportsway.me and various linking aggregators, including redditsoccerstreams.org and reddit1.soccerstreams.net.
In addition to Bell Media, the list of plaintiffs includes The Sports Network, CTV Specialty Television, and Réseau des sports. Together, the media companies ask the Federal Court in Montreal for damages and an injunction to stop the infringing activity.
Specifically, they want the operators to cease “providing access to Unauthorized Streaming Servers providing or facilitating access to live streams of FIFA World Cup Live Matches in Canada.”
Whether this injunction, if granted, will be sufficient to deter pirates is questionable. Then again, if the John Does don’t respond in court, this might very well be the setup for a new site blocking request from rightsholders.
Previous blocking injunctions in Canada were also issued as part of lawsuits against operators, which is a similar setup to the one here.
Canada’s Federal Court approved the country’s first pirate site-blocking order four years ago. Most ISPs didn’t contest the blocking request but TekSavvy fought it tooth and nail, arguing that it threatened the open Internet.
TekSavvy’s appeals stranded earlier this year after the Supreme Court declined to hear the case. This was a major setback according to vice-president of regulatory affairs, Andy Kaplan-Myrth, who prophetically said it would lead to more blocking requests from major media companies.
“Now armed with GoldTV-style orders, […] what’s to stop Canada’s media giants from having courts force ever more ISPs to block ever more copyrighted content? Nothing; expect it to happen,” Kaplan-Myrth said at the time.
Indeed, the first new blocking order was issued shortly after. Following a complaint from several rightsholders, Canada’s Federal Court handed down a ‘dynamic’ blocking order in June. That injunction aims to prevent live NHL games from being viewed via pirate IPTV services.
With this recent push to deter FIFA World Cup piracy, another site blocking order is now in the making.
