Highly unusual ransom case underway here in Finland: a private psychotherapy clinic was hacked, and the therapist notes for maybe even 40,000 patients were stolen. Now the attacker has emailed the victims, asking each for 200 € ransom in Bitcoin. #vastaamo
The attacker calls himself ’ransom_man’, and is running a Tor site on which he has already leaked the therapist session notes of 300 patients. This is a very sad case for the victims, some of which are underage. The attacker has no shame.
I’m aware of only one other patient blackmail case that would be even remotely similar: the Center for Facial Restoration incident in Florida in 2019. This was a different medical area and had a smaller number of victims, but the basic idea was the same. davisrhinoplasty.com/patient-adviso…

The Finnish national Covid-19 contact tracing mobile app (by the @THLorg agency) has now been out for a month. Some notes:
The app has been downloaded 2.2 million time so far (Finland has 5.5 million people). We’ve had 1800 confirmed infected persons during this time. Of those, 600 persons were users of the app, and used the app to warn their potential contacts.
One of the people who received an exposure notification via the app was our prime minister. She quarantined, and tested healthy later.

Having .com as the most popular top-level domain is not surprising, but some of the runner-ups are. How often do you visit an .icu domain? Or .ga or .cf or .ml?

(Data source: @DomainTools)
These seem to be the least popular of the new top-level domains. I don't think any of them have made their investment back. TLDs with number of active domains:

.guitars 804
