High up in the business world, where decisions can be molded and shaped by the needs and demands of major investors and shareholders, it can be easy to forget that, well, most average people don’t really care about that, Panera’s founder says.

Beyond not pretending to be motivated by shareholders, some younger workers have been vocal about wanting certain changes to work culture, such as a better work-life balance.

At least one founder and former CEO agrees that the idea of boosting shareholders’ returns isn’t likely to be a key motivator to workers.

Ron Shaich, Panera Bread’s founder and former longtime CEO, has stressed how important it is for management and members of the C-suite to empathize with their employees and better understand what can get their buy-in to the company’s mission.

I made another penny a share today for Panera’s shareholders,'" Shaich told Business Insider in an interview.

Shaich said that he believed a key part of good management is connecting with and understanding employees and that he is a big proponent of therapy.

And if it continues at this pace, it may reshape the workplace for decades to come — especially, Bruno said, with the soon-to-be dominant Gen Z rethinking how work fits into their identities.

It’s the concept that underpins the middle class in America, that group of workers meant to be tucked in between the jet setters and those striving to move up in the world.

“The last four decades we have seen a gap between growing productivity and stagnating worker wages,” Julie Su, the acting secretary of labor, told BI.

That drive comes alongside the Biden administration’s stated desire to build out the economy from the bottom and middle, rather than through trickling down gains from the top.

For instance, the Treasury Department found in an August report that middle-class workers had been falling behind with more debt, more expensive houses, and increasingly pricier college education.

For employers who want to retain their workers, or lure in Gen Zers — who helped drive the Great Resignation and the union boom — it might pay to listen up.

A prolific espionage hacking group with ties to China spent over two years looting the corporate network of NXP, the Netherlands-based chipmaker whose silicon powers security-sensitive components found in smartphones, smartcards, and electric vehicles, a news outlet has reported.

The intrusion, by a group tracked under names including “Chimera” and “G0114,” lasted from late 2017 to the beginning of 2020, according to Netherlands national news outlet NRC Handelsblad, which cited “several sources” familiar with the incident.

“Once nested on a first computer—patient zero—the spies gradually expand their access rights, erase their tracks in between and secretly sneak to the protected parts of the network,” NRC reporters wrote in an English translation.

According to the log files that Fox-IT finds, the hackers come every few weeks to see whether interesting new data can be found at NXP and whether more user accounts and parts of the network can be hacked.”

NXP also provides chips for the MIFARE card used by transit companies, FIDO-compliant security keys, and tools for relaying data inside the networks of electric vehicles.

Security firm Cycraft documented one two-year hacking spree that targeted semiconductor makers with operations in Taiwan, where NXP happens to have research and development facilities.

The password authenticator was hit by a cyberattack in September and said earlier this month that just 1% of its customers were affected.

David Bradbury, Okta’s chief security officer, said in the post: “While we do not have direct knowledge or evidence that this information is being actively exploited, there is a possibility that the threat actor may use this information to target Okta customers via phishing or social engineering attacks.”

Bradbury advised all customers to use multi-factor authentication, which requires more than one security test, to keep their information safe online.

San Francisco-based Okta offers companies identity management tools including single sign-in and multi-factor authentication for secure website logins.

The company has more than 18,000 corporate clients including FedEx, S&P Global, T-Mobile and Zoom, per its website.

Then in August hacking group Scatter Swine gained access to Okta customer data, it claimed in a blog post, breaching more than 100 companies including software firm Twilio.Okta didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider, made outside normal working hours.

The Ukrainian government is planning to change its conscription practices as it seeks to sustain fighting capacity after nearly two years of full-fledged war with Russia.

The summer and autumn Ukrainian counteroffensive has failed to win back large amounts of territory, and there are increasing voices among Ukraine’s western partners suggesting in private that sooner or later Kyiv may need to consider attempting a negotiated end to the war.

In the first months of the war, hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians volunteered to fight, as part of a wave of patriotic determination that shocked Russia and repelled its initial advances.

Viral videos have shown men snatched from the street to be conscripted, and there have been numerous corruption scandals of officials taking bribes to provide exemption.

Many Ukrainians say if called upon they would go to the army, but many men of conscription age who do not want to be sent to the front have spent weeks or months hiding at home, trying to avoid the roaming squads of mobilisation officers.

In the summer, sources in Odesa explained a popular scheme in the city, whereby for a fee of $5,000 in cash, men who did not want to serve could receive a fake medical report suggesting serious spinal issues, with which they would be declared exempt from conscription and be allowed to leave the country.

Salesforce billionaire CEO Marc Benioff seems to have somewhat of a muddled stance on hybrid working.

59-year-old Benioff, who mandated his workers back to the office earlier this year, discussed the balance of in-person and remote working in a recent interview with GQ,

"When I talk to my friends, and they’re going through some kind of existential crisis, I’ll say to them, ‘Just tell me what are five things that are making you super unhappy right now?’

Leaked company messages from earlier this year, showed that non-remote employees are now expected to be in the office three days a week, while non-remote employees in customer-facing roles have to be in the office four days a week.

This was a toned-down version of the policy too, per Business Insider’s previous reporting, after getting employee feedback.

Salesforce joins a number of tech companies that have walked back on their remote working policies in recent months.

Underscoring the importance of their discovery, the researchers used their findings to calculate the private portion of almost 200 unique SSH keys they observed in public Internet scans taken over the past seven years.

SSH is the cryptographic protocol used in secure shell connections that allows computers to remotely access servers, usually in security-sensitive enterprise environments.

The vulnerability occurs when there are errors during the signature generation that takes place when a client and server are establishing a connection.

Another reason for the surprise is that until now, researchers believed that signature faults exposed only RSA keys used in the TLS—or Transport Layer Security—protocol encrypting Web and email connections.

The researchers noted that since the 2018 release of TLS version 1.3, the protocol has encrypted handshake messages occurring while a web or email session is being negotiated.

The new findings are laid out in a paper published earlier this month titled “Passive SSH Key Compromise via Lattices.”

While Amazon has always targeted European organizations with the promise of localized data storage and controls, it had previously distanced itself from the whole “sovereign cloud” concept.

Amazon chief security officer (CSO) Stephen Schmidt called the sovereign cloud “a marketing term more than anything else,” but last November AWS unveiled its “digital sovereignty pledge,” going some way toward enshrining its data control commitments into stone.

At the crux of the matter is a growing array of regulations — particularly in Europe — that stipulate how people and companies’ data should be handled.

Though even without specific regulation, companies in many industries — such as healthcare and banking — have been slower to go all-in on the cloud due to concerns about how their data might be harnessed by the tech giants.

The company confirmed to TechCrunch that this won’t be limited to the EU specifically, and organizations across the European continent (including the U.K.) will be able to access it.

Meanwhile, efforts are underway elsewhere to bring a more native flavor of cloud to European markets — a Swedish startup called Evroc emerged from stealth this year with €13 million in funding to develop hyperscale data centers in Europe.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has charged SolarWinds and its top cybersecurity executive Timothy Brown with fraud and internal control failures for allegedly misleading investors about the company’s cybersecurity practices prior to a cyberattack launched by Russian hackers in 2019.

The SEC’s complaint accused the company of making claims, including about its own security practices, that were “at odds” with its internal assessments.

But the federal regulator said that Brown failed to sufficiently raise security risks to the company or resolve them.

Gurbir S. Grewal, who oversees the SEC’s enforcement unit, said SolarWinds and Brown “ignored repeated red flags” and “engaged in a campaign to paint a false picture of the company’s cyber controls environment, thereby depriving investors of accurate material information.”

“Today’s enforcement action not only charges SolarWinds and Brown for misleading the investing public and failing to protect the company’s ‘crown jewel’ assets, but also underscores our message to issuers: implement strong controls calibrated to your risk environments and level with investors about known concerns,” said Grewal.

The SEC told SolarWinds in November 2022 that it faced enforcement action following the cyberattack, warning that the company’s cybersecurity disclosures and public statements were under scrutiny.

On October 13, Russia’s ambassador to the United Nations, Vasily Nebenzya, said that “the so-called Ukrainian counteroffensive can be considered finished” with nothing to show for it but tens of thousands of dead recruits and that Russia had “launched active combat operations along the entire frontline.” (Nebenzya also accused the West of feeding more weapons to Ukraine “like drugs to a drug addict, thus prolonging his agony.”) Two days later, Nebenzya’s boss Vladimir Putin weighed in with his own assertion that the Ukrainian counteroffensive had “failed completely” but, confusingly, added that “the opposing side” was planning new offensive operations in some areas and described the Russian troops’ operations as “active defense,” without explaining how that differs from plain and simple defense.

Then, after two more days, on October 17, Russia got an unpleasant surprise when Ukraine delivered powerful strikes at targets in occupied territories, in Berdyansk and Luhansk, hitting military airports and weapons depots.

Thus ends a prolonged will-they-or-won’t-they saga in which reports last September that Zelensky’s request for the long-range missiles would not be granted during his visit to Washington, D.C. were followed by a quick reversal, albeit not officially announced.

Putin, on his visit to Beijing, predictably claimed that the ATACMS would not help Ukraine but also made a weird invitation to President Joe Biden to take them back and come over to Russia for “tea and pancakes” instead.

Appearing on the 60 Minutes program on Channel One with the husband-and-wife team of Olga Skabeyeva and Yevgeny Popov, retired Russian colonel and TV pundit Mikhail Khodaryonok candidly admitted that if ATACMS strikes continued, this could make it much harder for Russia to use its military aircraft to stymie Ukrainian offensive operations by strafing tanks and armored personnel vehicles.

Pro-Ukraine commentators who are critical of the slow pace of Western weapons deliveries, such as Russian expatriate journalist Yulia Latynina, have been asking why the ATACMS were not in place before the start of the spring/summer counteroffensive, which would have likely ensured far more impressive successes.

Much of the fallow land lies in a vast swath along the front line of the war, while other fields are in areas recently retaken by Ukrainian forces, she says.

Becker-Reshef says that while overall, Ukraine has been able to maintain its agricultural output this year, the abandoned fields have already cost the nation around $2 billion in lost crops.

Precise estimates of how much artillery ammunition has been used in the war so far are hard to come by, but Russian and Ukrainian forces are firing thousands of rounds a day, according to Michael Kofman, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

“These can lay in the ground for over a hundred years and still be lethal,” says Iain Overton, the executive director of Action on Armed Violence, a British non-profit that focuses on the harm caused by explosive weapons.

Still, Overton says, the amount of unexploded ordnance, land mines, and toxic pollution in farmland along the front line will make returning those fields to production a “gargantuan task.”

The destruction of the Kakhovka Dam earlier this year drained a massive reservoir and left nearly a thousand miles of irrigation channels without a source of water.

Operation Zero, which is based in Russia and launched in 2021, also added that “as always, the end user is a non-NATO country.” On its official website, the company says that “our clients are Russian private and government organizations only.”

Zelenyuk also said that the bounties Operation Zero offer right now may be temporary, and a reflection of a particular time in the market, and the difficulty of hacking iOS and Android.

“The price formation of specific items is heavily dependent on availability of the product on the zero-day market,” Zelenyuk said in an email.

For at least a decade, various companies around the world have offered bounties to security researchers willing to sell the bugs and hacking techniques to exploit those flaws.

Unlike traditional bug bounty platforms like Hacker One or Bugcrowd, companies like Operation Zero don’t alert the vendors whose products are vulnerable, but instead sell them to government customers.

Crowdfense, a competitor based in the United Arab Emirates, offers up to $3 million for the same kind of chain of bugs on Android and iOS.

The first American-made Abrams tanks have been delivered to Ukraine, two U.S. defense officials said, arriving months ahead of initial estimates and in time to be used in Kyiv’s counteroffensive against Russian forces.

But Kyrylo Budanov, the head of Ukraine’s military intelligence, has warned that the Abrams would need to be deployed “in a very tailored way, for very specific, well-crafted operations,” or risk being destroyed.

Their arrival represents part of an extraordinary effort by Western allies — responding to relentless pushing from Ukraine — to deliver a powerful weapon months ahead of schedule.

Just one year ago, allies had resisted sending Western-made tanks to Ukraine, concerned that doing so would draw NATO more directly into the war and further escalate tensions with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia.

By January, however, convinced that Ukraine needed more heavy armored vehicles to confront Russian forces, Britain, Germany and the United States each agreed to supply the modern Western tanks or allow for them to be transferred to Kyiv.

U.S. troops began training Ukrainian forces in late spring, conducting an abbreviated 12-week course to operate Abrams tanks at American military bases in Germany.

Apple released security updates on Thursday that patch two zero-day exploits — meaning hacking techniques that were unknown at the time Apple found out about them — used against a member of a civil society organization in Washington, D.C., according to the researchers who found the vulnerabilities.

Citizen Lab, an internet watchdog group that investigates government malware, published a short blog post explaining that last week they found a zero-click vulnerability — meaning that the hackers’ target doesn’t have to tap or click anything, such as an attachment — used to target victims with malware.

The researchers said the vulnerability was used as part of an exploit chain designed to deliver NSO Group’s malware, known as Pegasus.

“The exploit chain was capable of compromising iPhones running the latest version of iOS (16.6) without any interaction from the victim,” Citizen Lab wrote.

Citizen Lab said it called the exploit chain BLASTPASS, because it involved PassKit, a framework that allows developers to include Apple Pay in their apps.

“Once more, civil society, is serving as the cybersecurity early warning system for… billions of devices around the world,” John Scott-Railton, a senior researcher at the internet watchdog Citizen Lab, wrote on Twitter.

The war in Ukraine has forced the Kremlin to reassess its relationship with Pyongyang as it seeks to secure weapons to replace its own depleted stocks.

In return, North Korea is hoping to receive valuable foreign currency to continue funding its development of intercontinental ballistic missiles – its trump card in its quest to secure concessions, and recognition as a legitimate nuclear state, from the US.

Russia’s growing isolation has sent it in a new, worrying direction as it seeks to build a united front against a “hostile” west that includes China and now, it seems, North Korea and its million-strong army.

As news emerged of Kim’s possible trip to Vladivostok, media reported that the North could take part in joint naval drills with Russia and China.

In a message to Putin to mark Russia’s national day in June this year, the Kim pledged his regime’s “full support” for the invasion of Ukraine, and vowed to “hold hands” with the Russian leader in their common aim to build “a powerful country”.

Pyongyang knows that Moscow is desperate for munitions, Everard said, adding that he expected North Korea to demand an “eye-wateringly high” price.
