The Internet of Things is nothing short of a modern miracle. The ability to connect devices across a network and control them remotely, gathering data, performing routine maintenance, and saving countless hours of preparation time and direct human interaction. It gave rise to the need for Smart, Connected, and Secure technology solutions. That's great for the residential home or the industrial plant across town. Could that level of sophistication and convenience follow us to other places, like, say, the hospital? We are, in fact, living the future today - where a world of medical devices are no longer standalone entities, but interconnected nodes in a vast network known as the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT). This digital revolution promises to transform patient care, enabling real-time monitoring, remote diagnostics, and personalized treatment plans. But these utopian dreams of a better health system still have some caveats to be aware of. As we embrace this new frontier, we must also confront the looming threat of cyber insecurity.   In recent years, ransomware attacks have targeted healthcare institutions worldwide, from the WannaCry outbreak that crippled the UK's National Health Service in 2017 to the more recent Ryuk attacks on U.S. hospitals in 2020 like Locky in Los Angeles. According to the HIPAA Journal, “at least 141 hospitals were directly affected by ransomware attacks in 2023” alone where the number of attacks almost doubled since the previous year. These incidents expose the vulnerabilities in our medical device infrastructure, where outdated software and lack of encryption leave patient data and lives at risk. The American Hospital Association describes these not as white-collar crimes, but “threat-to-life crimes” and they can be a life-or-death matter.   Yet, amidst these challenges, there is hope. As technology advances, so too do the solutions for securing IoMT. With the development of purpose-built embedded control technology solutions, we stand on the edge of a new era in connected care. Imagine a future where medical devices not only communicate seamlessly but also protect patient information from the most sophisticated attacks.   How can Microchip Technology strengthen and reinforce the Internet of Medical Things and potentially hold the key to unlocking a brighter, healthier future?   Links from the episode: Smart Medical Solutions | Microchip Technology  CryptoAuthentication™ Secure Key Storage | Microchip Technology    Guests:  Justin Wilson

Death Note (stylized in ⁠all caps⁠) is a Japanese ⁠manga⁠ series written by ⁠Tsugumi Ohba⁠ and illustrated by ⁠Takeshi Obata⁠. It was serialized in ⁠Shueisha⁠'s ⁠shōnen manga magazine⁠ ⁠Weekly Shōnen Jump⁠ from December 2003 to May 2006, with its chapters collected in 12 ⁠tankōbon⁠ volumes. The story follows ⁠Light Yagami⁠, a genius high school student who discovers a mysterious notebook: the "Death Note", which belonged to the ⁠shinigami⁠ ⁠Ryuk⁠, and grants the user the supernatural ability to kill anyone whose name is written in its pages. The series centers around Light's subsequent attempts to use the Death Note to carry out a worldwide massacre of individuals whom he deems immoral and to create a crime-free society, using the alias of a god-like vigilante named "Kira", and the subsequent efforts of ⁠an elite Japanese police task force⁠, led by enigmatic detective ⁠L⁠, to apprehend him.A 37-episode ⁠anime⁠ television series adaptation, produced by ⁠Madhouse⁠ and directed by ⁠Tetsurō Araki⁠, was broadcast on ⁠Nippon Television⁠ from October 2006 to June 2007. A ⁠light novel⁠ based on the series, written by ⁠Nisio Isin⁠, was also released in 2006. Additionally, various video games have been published by ⁠Konami⁠ for the ⁠Nintendo DS⁠. The series was adapted into three ⁠live-action⁠ films released in Japan in ⁠June⁠, ⁠November 2006⁠, and ⁠February 2008⁠, and ⁠a television drama⁠ in 2015. A miniseries titled ⁠Death Note: New Generation⁠ and ⁠a fourth film⁠ were released in 2016. An ⁠American film adaptation⁠ was released ⁠exclusively⁠ on ⁠Netflix⁠ in August 2017, and a series is reportedly in the works.Death Note media, except for video games and soundtracks, is licensed and released in North America by ⁠Viz Media⁠. The episodes from the anime first appeared in North America as downloadable from ⁠IGN⁠ before Viz Media licensed it. The series was aired on ⁠YTV⁠'s ⁠Bionix⁠ programming block in Canada and on ⁠Adult Swim⁠ in the United States with a DVD release following. The live-action films briefly played in certain North American theaters, in 2008, before receiving home video releases. By April 2015, the Death Note manga had over 30 million copies in circulation, making it one of the ⁠best-selling manga series⁠.In ⁠Tokyo⁠, a disaffected high school student named ⁠Light Yagami⁠ finds the "Death Note", a mysterious black notebook with rules that can end anyone's life in seconds as long as the writer knows both the target's true name and face. Light uses the notebook to kill high-profile criminals and is visited by ⁠Ryuk⁠, a "⁠shinigami⁠" and the Death Note's previous owner. Ryuk, invisible to anyone who has not touched the notebook, reveals that he dropped the notebook into the human world out of boredom and is amused by Light's actions.⁠[5]⁠Plot[⁠edit⁠]Further information: ⁠List of Death Note characters

In this episode we are thrilled to welcome Kate Puckett, a gifted worship leader and singer. She offers her perspective and key points on the anime series Death Note. We explore the high-stakes cat-and-mouse game between Light and detective L, delving into themes of power, justice, and morality. We discuss Light's transformation from a relatable character to a morally conflicted villain, and analyze the dynamic between Light and L, noting their mutual respect despite being on opposing sides. Key moments like L's demise and the symbolic presence of Ryuk, the Shinigami, are examined to offer you a profound understanding of the series' nuanced storytelling and the questions it poses about human nature and justice. We conclude with a thoughtful analysis of the themes of good and evil, power, corruption, and the human condition portrayed in "Death Note," encouraging viewers to reflect on its ethical dilemmas and philosophical questions.Check out Kate On Instagram and Spotify!_____________________________________________________________________________Follow us:InstagramFacebookYouTubeTIkTok

RYUK / SOUND FREQUENCIES RESIDENCY SHOW #1 ON TOXIC SICKNESS / JULY / 2023 by TOXIC SICKNESS OFFICIAL

“The world is rotten, and those who are making it rot deserve to die.” So states Light Yagami in episode 1 of the Japanese anime “Death Note” after getting acquainted with the notebook of the same name.What would you do if you happened upon a notebook that would kill anyone whose name you wrote in it? Would you rid the world of evil, as Light claims to be doing? Would you try to destroy the book? Give it back to Ryuk, the Shinigami death god?

"Humans are a riot!" - Ryuk.    Humans are soooooo boring...until they have the power of death, apparently. In this all-time classic from Tsugumi Ohno (Platinum End) and artist Takeshi Obata (Platinum End), we meet Light, a bored teenager who finds a Death Note belonging to a Shinigami named Ryuk. They battle it out with a detective only known as L. Other topics include That 90s Show, Jupiter's Legacy, Invincible, and the DCEU.    ***TIMESTAMPS*** Bullshit (00:00), Intro (12:21), Giveaway (13:41), What Are We Doing?

14 years after the original Death Note run ended, we were blessed with the return of familiar characters and introduced with a new one, Minoru Tanaka. A character whose ingenious actions causes the Shinigami king to create a new rule. This will be the last Death Note related episode between the boys as they discuss the manga's legacy and more. Skip synopsis @ 6:52   Email: WeAppreciateManga@Gmail.com   101: Death Note 2020 Special One-Shot Story by Tsugumi Ohba Art by Takeshi Obata   Plot Synopsis:   The Death god Ryuk is bored as usual and hungry for some more delicious apples, he goes back to the human world and finds someone who is intelligent enough to use the Death Note in new ways.   Ryuk gives Minoru Tanaka the same Death Note that Light Yagami used in exchange for apples, Of course Minoru knows of Light as the tyrannical Kira. A person who he now studies in his ethics class as a terrorist albeit Kira was successful at preventing wars and lowering crime rates, using the Death Note to rid the world of whomever he deemed as evil.   Minoru is different, in that he decides not to murder anyone but instead to sell the Death Note, he tells Ryuk that the world has changed since Kira had the Death Note and that to become like the next Kira would be more so difficult in a world where cameras are on every street corner and in everyone's pocket. Plus, people are aware of the existence of Ryuk and can identify him and the Death Note now.   Minoru hatches the plan that Ryuk goes to Sakura TV station so to announce the bid and have people use twitter and the hashtag “Power of Kira”   Ryuk will be untraceable so long as he travels underground, under earth, much to the chagrin of L, the surviving members of the NPA and the SPK.   It becomes apparent that the money for the bid is reaching beyond that of any individual to be able to afford, Minoru sends out Ryuk to relay the message that government and world leaders must use their PR representatives to announce their bid. Eventually the winner is announced to be the government of the United States of America.   To make the transfer of money discreet, Minoru has the US government transfer the winning amount worth 10 trillion dollars divided in equal parts to people under the age of 70, living in Tokyo and who also own a Yotsuba bank of Japan account.   Once Minoru deems the plan a success, he gives Ryuk the Death Note to pass on and tells him that he no longer wants to see him again, and that he will live his life happily thanks to the fortune from the U.S. government.   The plot twist, as Ryuk knows, is that the Death Note brings misfortune to those who touch it, and that is still the case. Before Ryuk gives the Death note to the US he is summoned by the Shinigami King, afterwards he tells the current US president of the time, Donald Trump that the rules of the Death Note have now changed.   Anyone who buys and sells the Death Note will die as punishment. The buyer dies upon receiving the Death Note and the seller upon receiving their currency.   Ryuk explains to Trump that although he will die upon acquiring the Death Note, the Death Note itself will still be owned by his second in command, and thus will become the property of the U.S. government. Trump however decides to abandon the Death Note but pretend that he still has it so that people will see him as a hero. Very Shrewd.   Topics and Facts:   The one shot made its public debut during Takeshi Obata's art exhibition, named Never Complete, before being published on Viz Media's website. It is now available as part of an anthology of short stories, released under Viz media. The main character Minoru is an intelligent character as was Light Yagami, unprecedented for a Death Note user is his pacifism, in terms of capitalist ideology you can consider Minoru a far better hero if not a better man than Light Yagami but what makes the series so good as a story is how it presents owning the Death Note as a moral dilemma.   We also talk about Near, who makes another appearance in this one-shot, having previously appeared in the 2008 ‘C – Kira' one-shot story.   Although this one-shot manga is satire it is important to note that when this was published the world was in the middle of a pandemic which threatened the economy and the lives of those from all walks of life. Tsugumi Ohba did not write this manga as a response to the pandemic nor the January 6 U.S. capitol attack, but one can still see it as a response to Trumpism. During president Donald Trumps' service, the country was (and as of 2023 still is) culturally divided. Possibly due to the newness of social media platforms propagating disinformation and propaganda. As of this episode air date January 28, 2023, political discourse worldwide is still dangerously tense.   “The Gold Standard” that James refers to is a monetary system that provides a fixed international exchange rate. James is correct in assuming that under such a standard the transaction for the Death Note is not feasible however, both countries would need to share the same kind of standard, and the buying country would need to be the larger provider of gold stock for the transaction to be completely beneficial to Japan. The U.S. does have the larger supply of gold stock compared to Japan, however as steven mentions, the U.S. has not used the standard since 1971, a decision dubbed the “Nixon Shock”. Because of this the U.S. can prevent a drastic economic deflation, which would happen if the U.S. if they were to buy the Death Note under a gold standard. There is also the “The Silver standard” which is more feasible of a monetary system because of silver having widespread stock worldwide, in retrospect it may seem absurd to consider gold stock as a fixed rate for international exchange, but one must keep in mind that the gold standard was after all created by the world dominating English empire.   Although it certainly seems Minoru did the right thing in comparison to his predecessor Light Yagami, one can wonder if such an auction could be successful to an economic boom, after all a country could place sanctions on the trading of WMDs (weapons of mass destruction) but then again what country could be powerful enough to threaten sanctions on the U.S. and Japan? Especially after the transfer of Kira's power?   A new (supposedly Netflix) adaptation Is to be written and executively produced by Halia Abdel-Meguid, it will be made by the ‘Upside Down pictures' production company. The same company responsible for ‘Stranger Things' created by the Duffer brothers.     Differences from the original 2003/'06 manga run and the 2015 NTV Mini Series:   L appears in all white clothing, more so like the character of Near in the manga. He also wears buttoned linen shirts, which Watari has multiples of ready whenever L wants to change. The Death Note that Gellus owns before Misa is coloured red, it appears black in the manga, however the manga explains that there are red and white coloured Death Notes that Shinigami own within the rules section. The Eraldo Coil character/alias that L uses is absent from the story but otherwise replaced with the name “Babel” which is possibly derived from the Hebrew word בָּלַל (bālal), meaning to jumble or to confuse. It also comes from the name “Tower of Babel” which is referred to in the bible as a tower reaching God, with its construction itself being mentioned in an origin myth for the world's languages. In the miniseries, Babel is not an alias of but is instead an associate of L. The real identity of Babel is Near a.k.a Nate River.   Near appears earlier in the story, before L dies. Near's appearance is also different, instead of wearing white pyjamas Near wears something that is a mix between a tailored suit and dungarees. They do however have a white bob hair style, albeit less curly than the manga. There is no SPK (Special Provision for Kira), instead after the death of L Near joins the same task force as the NPA, becoming the new L.   Teru Mikami appears much earlier in the story; he spies on Misa, then attacks and steals her Death Note after Light instructs her to dig it up in the woods. Like the manga this event happens after Light regains his memories of the Death Note. Rem does not kill L, instead Teru Mikami, having sided with Light and acquiring the Shinigami eyes, is the one to kill L whilst Rem remains passive throughout. Rem does not die through the events of the series and neither risks their life to save Misa. L's death occurs after he pulls off a desperate and crude tactic to frame Light. L gets Light alone and proceeds to write Light's name in the Death Note. Through the ordeal Light receives a text message from Mikami that shows L's real name. Light attacks L, then takes the Death Note and writes L's name down as a form of self-defence. This does not kill L, since L had Watari create a fake Death Note in order to trick and goad Light into using the note on L. Before L manages to use the fake note as evidence, he is killed by Mikami's Death Note and Light tells the task force that L told him his real name in order to goad him into an attack.   Mello is not a legitimate heir to L, instead he is a character that is trapped within the body of Near. Near having what is known as Disassociate Identity Disorder, otherwise known as “split personalities”. Sometimes Near keeps Mello at bay by having Mello talk through a ventriloquists' doll. Mello ends up taking full control later without the need for a doll, and dresses just like their anime/manga counterpart. Near/Mello are both male characters but they are played by a woman, Mio Yuki. Ryuk does not write Light's name in his Death Note, instead Light dies in a warehouse on fire trying to grab his Death Note, he begs Ryuk to make the eye trade with him but the book is already in flames at that moment and soon Light himself burns. (If my memory is correct, Light is so deluded at that point he forgets the death note is fake - J) Mikami is the one who starts the fire, in order to prevent the task force from arresting Light. Near is the dominant personality when Light is captured as Kira, and remains dominant throughout most of the episodes. Watari does not die; he survives to the end and assists Near after L's death.       Other references:     Facebook Instagram Twitter Official Website   Email

Today's episode has Will, James and Steven talk about the pilot chapter to Death Note, this would have been the first one shot published, and although it may not have too much in common with the Light vs. L story it did pave the way for it. The boys also review the recent Simpsons' Tree House of Horror special that paid homage to Death Note as well as talk about the Death Note videogame spin offs and crossovers. Skip synopsis @ 3:55   Email: WeAppreciateManga@Gmail.com   100: Death Note Pilot ⁓ The Taro Kagami Story Story by Tsugumi Ohba Art by Takeshi Obata   Whoever's name is written in this note shall die, that is the power of the Death Note, and so a bored Shinigami by the name of Ryuk, travels from the realm of death gods to the human realm. He leaves a Death Note for a human to find.   A 13-year-old Japanese schoolboy by the name of Taro Kagami comes upon the Death Note, Not understanding the English language very well he believes the Death Note to be a simple journal. When he uses it as a personal diary, he writes the names of those who bully him at school, the next day at school he receives news that the boys are dead from heart attacks. Taro suspects the Death Note is what killed them and Ryuk appears to Taro to explain its power to him. After Taro is questioned by the detectives Yamanaka and Takagi, he experiences nightmares over the boys he had killed.   Ryuk presents the death eraser to Taro, upon using it Taro can bring back life to those who have been killed by the Death Note, so long as their body remains intact. The next day Yamanaka and Takagi visits Taro's class and question the revived students.   The revived students and the two detectives are killed by a heart attack, The next day Taro watches TV and sees a discussion around the murders, the people on the TV die except for the one using an obvious pen name. Ryuk confirms Taro's suspicion that there is another Death Note user out there. Taro, believing the other user is his classmate Miura, goes to stop the killing spree and presents Miura with the Death Eraser. They then head to the police station to meet the revived detectives and show them Miura's Death Note and the death eraser before they destroy Miura's Death Note.   Seven years pass and Taro still has his Death Note, with Ryuk waiting to see how he will use it next.   Trivia:   The Death Eraser makes its appearance in the Pilot and is never seen again in the franchise (as of 2023 at least). Because of this, the Taro Kagami story is largely seen as non-canonical, even the author has stated (in the supplementary Death Note vol. 13) that they did not like the idea of the Death Eraser. The Simpsons has parodied Death Note in both comic books and animation with the 2008 comic book story "Murder, He Wrote" in The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror #14, where Bart receives the notebook from the Ryuk-ified ghost of Krusty the Clown, and the "Death Tome" segment of the 2022 television episode "Treehouse of Horror XXXIII", with Lisa receiving the titular book.   ‘L: Change the World' was the sequel/spin-off to the Japanese 2006 movies. Viz media also has the English translation rights to the novelisation. L: File No. 15 was a book/promotional tie in with ‘L: change the world'. And is the first time the chapters of Wammy's House/One Day (A Day in L's life) were publicised, most of the book features photographs of L as played by Kenichi Matsuyama. Whom played L in the 2006 movies.   The first two Death Note Videogames made for the Nintendo DS were the Mafia type games Death Note: Kira Game, released on February 15, 2007 andDeath Note: Successors to L, which was released on July 12, 2007. The first game is based on the Yotsuba arc whilst the second game is based on the second part of the manga, featuring characters such as Mello and Near. For those who do not know, Mafia, also known as Werewolf, is a social deduction game, created by Dimitry Davidoff in 1986. A third, Escape room type game called ‘L the Prologue to Death Note -Spiraling Trap' was released for the Nintendo DS in Japan on February 7, 2008   Various videogame Death Note appearances and crossovers include the Shonen Jump fighting games, such as Jump Force and Identity V (a game that plays very much like Dead by Daylight)   Facebook Instagram Twitter Official Website   Email

A battle of wits began with Light and the prodigy detective L but Light successfully kills L and becomes the “the second L”; four years pass only for Light to be faced by the arrival of L's heirs, Near and Mello. Both of L's heirs know of the existence of Light's murder weapon, the titular Death Note. Near and Light agree to meet each other at a warehouse, where Near claims to have proof of who the serial killer known as Kira is. Near knows that Japan's NPA (National Police Agency) has had no leads on Kira upon L's death, he also knows that they acquired a death note before L's death and had acquired a second death note upon losing the first to Mello. Near also knows that Kira has made no threat or demand in order to retrieve the existing death note from the NPA branch. And finally, one actual god of death, Ryuk resides amongst the NPA task force. These facts support that Kira has planted himself among the task force. Mello revealed to Near the existence of the fake 13-day-rule, and NPA task force agent Aizawa revealed to Near that Light was a suspect until the discovery of this 13-day-rule. These facts support that Light is Kira. Before their meeting Mello abducts one of the two Kira proxies, Kiyomi Takada. Mello dies from Takada's hidden death note scrap and soon Takada along with any evidence of the death note is killed off by Light's own hidden death note, since you can rip pieces from the note book and still use them to kill. Near has organised the warehouse meeting so that the last living Kira proxy, Teru Mikami can be tricked into secretly writing all names down in a fake copy of Kira's death note. If Teru is arrested and Light's name is absent from this fake death note. Then Near wins, having all the evidence he needs on Light/Kira. The only issue for Near however is that Light already knows about Near's fake death note plan. Comparisons from how the ending of the anime differs from that of the manga: Teru Mikami dies on screen, after Light is caught by Near in the Yellow box warehouse, Mikami, whilst under arrest, grabs a pen and stabs himself in the chest with it. The image of Near's finger puppets being reflected in Light's eye is absent in the anime. Ryuk is not in the warehouse after Light is shot and injured, Ryuk is alone outside when he writes Light's name in the Death Note. Misa attempts suicide by jumping, the implication that she intuitively knows that Light has now been caught as Kira. Light flees the warehouse; he runs past an apparition of a schoolboy walking in the opposite direction. It is himself as a teenager, before he became Kira. When Light finds a place to hide, he soon dies. Possibly alone if it were not for L's ghost appearing in the same room. The final scene of the manga makes no appearance in the anime, the one where a large cult of Kira followers making a candle light vigil. Notable differences from the manga and the 2006 movie adaptations:   The first movie covers the events of volumes 1 to 3 and the sequel covers volumes 4 and 7. L is seen stirring his tea with a small lollipop. Near's mask resembles L but in the 06 movie L did wear a mask, the mask of the Hyottoko. Lind L. Tailor pronounces Kira, with the R syllable replaced entirely with the letter L and a slight emphasis on the first vowel. As in saying the word “killer” but with “ah” replacing “er”. Raye Penber is Japanese and has the surname changed to Iwamatsu. This is due to the movie casting local actors, as is usually the case for most film studios. Foreign agencies do exist, but finding an actor who is both a good performer, bilingual and foreign is a challenge for most, with actors like Anupam Tripathi (famous for Netflix's Squid Game) being an outlier. In the first movie Naomi Misora confronts Light Yagami, this proves to be her undoing as she reveals to Light that she is Raye's fiancé. And in a late plot twist, Light tells Ryuk that he sought out and found her name on a church's register. The climax in the first movie ends with a more dramatic version of Naomi's death. Kiyomi Takada appears in the second movie, she fulfils the role of Higuchi with an abridged version of the events in the Yotsuba arc. Takada never attends university with Light and Light never dates her. Takada is a news anchor who kills her rival in order to become a fully-fledged news presenter. As she raises suspicion the task force bugs her home and use Matsuda to blackmail her. Matsuda does not fake his death, instead when confronting the Higuchi/Takada character he presents himself with a fake business card and name whilst wearing a disguise. This leads to the bait-and switch-tactic of using the TV broadcast, which in turn forces Takada to make the eye trade and kill a policeman whilst making her way to the TV station. The conclusion to the sequel ‘Death Note: The Last Name' is perhaps the biggest difference in comparison to the manga, the anime adaptation and even the Netflix movie. As with the manga, L suggests having Americans on death row test the Death Note rules, however once a trend in Kira deaths occur L tells Soichiro that he has written his own name in the death note and has decided to test the 13-day rule on himself, by doing this he is invulnerable to an attack from Rem and L has Soichiro pretend to leave for America so to make a surprise ambush on Light.

On today's episode we compare the manga to the anime, specifically some key scenes set before the final chapters. As well as share some facts on the setting of Death Note and compare them to the real-world place they are based on. Skip synopsis @ 4:01   Email: WeAppreciateManga@Gmail.com   098: Death Note vol. 11 ⁓ Kindred Spirits Story by Tsugumi Ohba Art by Takeshi Obata Translation by Tetsuichiro Miyaki Lettering by Gia Cam Luc   With the battle now set to end in Japan, Near organises a face-to-face meeting with Light and vows to have proof on Kira's identity. In doing so he will avenge the Death of his predecessor, L. Plot twist, Light is Kira! But chances are you already knew that!   Before a date is set by Near, he must first determine who could be a Kira proxy, whom he titles as X-Kira. Making a time line of events and scanning multiple video records he suspects Teru Mikami. But only when Near's team discover that he has a Death Note do they respond, first they determine where ever or not a god of death is following Mikami, that way they can safely copy and or tamper with the Death Note without being noticed. Takada and Misa have dinner together only to fight over their love for Light Yagami. Afterwards Near decides to capture and detain Misa, knowing that she was once a proxy for Kira, Misa having no memories of the Death Note agrees to de detained following a belief that Light wants to capture Kira and a willingness to cut any plans made with Takada.   Near contacts Light, and establishes that they will meet in the yellow box warehouse within Daikoku Wharf on January 28th 1p.m. Light meets Takada so to inform Mikami on the location of the final confrontation between Kira and Near. The question still stands, if Kira can kill Near and his agents then what will be the fate of Near's rival and the second successor to L? Mello himself not being one to stick to the shadows for too long comes out and abducts Takada.   What will Kira's next move be?     Fun Facts:   Tetsuro Araki directed the anime to Death Note, having worked on the first episode he helped establish the tone of the series alongside the series musician/composer Hideki Taniuchi and Yoshihisa Hirano. It was Masato Bessho who directed and storyboarded the infamous “potato chip scene”   Real World Settings of Death Note:   Daikoku Wharf, or Daikoku Pier is known as 大黒埠頭, Daikokufutō, located around the port of Yokohama. Light studied at To-oh University, which is possibly analogous to the real-life Tokyo University, a notable clue being that they share the nickname Todai, short for Tokyo Daigaku University and the place is referenced using the nickname Todai. Not to be confused with the real-life Toho University, which has a similar sounding name. The hotel that Light and Takada have their meetings in is Teito Hotel, possibly named after a real hotel, previously known as Hotel Teito it was then merged with and is known as the Imperial Hotel. Located in Marunouchi nearby the Imperial Palace. Episode 12 of ‘I love Lucy' was set in this hotel. The anime adaptation uses this hotel's exterior as the model however in the Death Note manga the hotel maybe based more so on the Prince Park Hotel and/or the Mitsui Garden Hotel Ginza Premier. This is because outside the window of Light and Takada's room we can see a noteworthy view of the Tokyo Tower, at the very least, the interior maybe based on the latter. The Tokyo Tower is certainly one of one of Tokyo's most iconic landmarks alongside the Sensoji temple and the Hachiko statue, especially since many pictures show it beside the landmark that is Mt. Fuji. It also makes an appearance in the 2006 Death Note movie, ‘The Last Name', the final shot of the movie is outside Misa's window, where we can see Ryuk flying around the Tokyo Tower. The New York headquarters of the SPK is located near Nick. St. Station however most inner-city streets in New York favour numbers and not names for their streets. LAX is a real place, an abbreviation of Los Angeles International Airport. NHN is based on NHK, short for ‘Nippon Hōsō Kyōkai' or ‘Japanese Broadcasting Corporation' in English. It is similar to the BBC in England. Sakura TV is not based on any TV station. In the 2006 movie, the exterior is depicted as an outdoor food court with a giant TV screen assembled with multiple monitors.

James tells Steven all about the Netflix Death Note movie whilst sharing opinions on volume 9 of the manga. And some talk around the effects of the Death Note and the how it functions as a magical almost Lovecraftian object of cosmic or psychological horror. Skip synopsis @ 4:25 Email: WeAppreciateManga@Gmail.com   096: Death Note vol. 9 ⁓ Contact Chapters 71 and 79 ‘Contact' and ‘Lies' Story by Tsugumi Ohba Artwork by Takeshi Obata Translation by Alexis Kirsch Lettering by Gia Cam Luc Light repeats his tactic of controlling one of Mello's gangs in order to gain information on Mello's hideout.  This time, he sends Ryuk with a spare Death Note and tells him to work with the Japanese task force in order to help them find and kill Mello as well as return Mello's Death Note to Sidoh, the original owner and death god. During this point onward Light decides to hide Misa's Death Note on his person and banks on Matsuda making the Shinigami eye deal, instead Soichiro makes the deal, with Light himself prepared to kill Soichiro so to support the belief in the fake 13-day rule that he fabricated so to maintain his innocence. After a conflict with Mello and his men, Soichiro learns of Melo's real name and recovers a Death Note but soon dies of his injuries. Light returns the Death Note to Sidoh and sends him away. Soon the U.S. Government pardons Kira and officially disbands Near's team, the SPK.  Mello, having survived the conflict with Soichiro, holds SPK agent Hal as a hostage and intrudes on Near's Headquarters. Near gives Mello his photo and in return Mello gives Near clues by telling him of the existence of Shinigami and saying that there is a fake Death Note rule. Near works with Light (who he knows as the new L) over Kira- and Mello-related matters while suspecting Light is Kira. Near determines the 13-day rule written in the Death Note is fake and suspects Kira is the new L. Then Mello contacts the Japanese task force agent Mogi, managing to get Mogi under Near's interrogation but also leaking Near's headquarters to Light. Afterwards, Light spreads the information to Kira worshippers so to orchestrate an attack on Near.   Topics: Because of how Syndar was manipulated by Light in the previous volume we are seeing Light use the same tactic again. Clearly the Death Note has the power to change fate but it seems like it can also inflict insanity on the target, as we have seen with Kal Snydar and Naomi. The powers of the Death Note along with the Shinigami are Lovecraftian in nature. Meaning Ohba leaves it to our imagination where ever we want to rationalise their actions or take the Death Note on face value. Also, if you are to go by James' analysis that the mind itself is a box not unlike that of the Schrodinger's Cat experiment then the Death Note has the power to either change minds or be a catalyst for a pre-destined fate. In strange ways memories can often rewrite reality and as of the year 2022 CE we cannot prove what goes on inside someone's head metaphysically, and we cannot prove, certainly not to the layman, if you can hold multiple thoughts at one time. It is important to note that James only states theories as to what Naomi and Syndar was thinking whilst under the Death Note's influence. Mello has been vocal on how stupid he thinks the Japanese police are and as of volume 9 Near suspects that Kira is working under the Japanese police as L. The events after Death Note arguably take a turn for the implausible since Light suspiciously leads the Kira case as a part of the NPA, even after being suspected of being Kira. Ergo he should remain a suspect in terms of real-world logic. Additionally, Soichiro Yagami and Light lose the Death Note to Mello in order to protect Sayu Yagami. A demonstration of their biases due to having a personal involvement in the Kira case. It is most certainly a bad idea to have Light on the Death Note case, however for reasons that are actually known in the manga Light becomes the new L despite these fallacies. Major differences between the manga and the Netflix live action movie. Light Yagami is named Light Turner, an interesting translation since it keeps to a pun, in the manga Light spells his English sounding name “Raito” with the Kanji for Moon, this creates a dual meaning of his name being “Moonlight” but Moon can be read as “Tsuki”. With his surname being Yagami and when you spell out the individual Kanji it sounds very much like Yorukami Tsuki, or “Loving Night God” or “Loving Dark God” But the implication is that Light's name refers to moonlight or night. The Kira killings are outlandish and gory spectacles disguised as accidents, a la 2000's Final Destination. How anyone deduces that Kira is a person from this is not explained, where as the manga clearly outlines the Kira Modus Operandi as a heart attack, meaning Kira wants to be recognised for his killings and is successful in doing so. Misa Amane, is named Mia and is played by Margaret Qualley. Mia is a cheerleader who attends the same school as Light and has a love for horror movies. Both Mia and Light establish their relationship after Light gets the Death Note but before news of Kira becomes viral. Meaning both Mia and Light are culpable in the creation of Kira. Where as the manga clearly had a one-sided relationship where Light was the more manipulative one out of the two, and was a lot more secretive of the Death Note in the manga. Ryuk says how his name is pronounced, it is not “Raiuk” or “Rook” he is the only Shinigami who makes an appearance and there is no Rem. The Shinigami eyes are mentioned but no such deal is made throughout the movie. Light himself creates the term Kira and spreads that name using the internet and such forums (obviously this makes him suspicious but that matter is not addressed by L). L discovers Light as a suspect by deliberately leaking information of criminals. (This is flawed logically because if L is responsible for the leaks he cannot stop the proliferation of such information, meaning any supporter of Kira or amateur sleuth would be a suspect by this logic)   In the movie there is no Lind L. Tailor, which is a notable plot point in the manga because L needs to determine if Kira wants him dead before he can deduce wherever or not Kira can kill him. However, L does address Kira through a live broadcast and public press event. Unlike the manga he makes his statement L is in public wearing a mask, and does not hide behind a monitor. But like the manga L uses this event to determine that Kira can not kill without knowing the targets name and face. But again, L's logic in the movie is flawed. Although it is a correct hypothesis that Kira does indeed need a name and face to kill, L, has not determined a motive or a reason for Kira to choose him as a target. L is flawed because he does not factor in wherever Kira wants him dead or not, this is because Kira has not killed law enforcement at this point. L is merely guessing that Kira wants him dead because he antagonised Kira and lived. Whereas the manga has Lind L. Tailor antagonising Kira, as L, only to die in doing so. This is how L proves that Kira is not only willing to kill law enforcement but would kill L if he could do so. L does not show his reasoning on how he is able to deduce that Light is Kira, we are never privy to L's thought process as an audience. And there is no voice over.   Light threatens Ryuk with the Death Note. And Ryuk entertains the thought. Saying “there are four letters in my name, most anyone ever gotten were two” this is not possible to do in the manga. It is also unusual because a message in Light's Death Note clearly reads “Don't trust Ryuk”. Perhaps it was a misspelling? Or maybe Ryuk is bluffing? Light writes Watari's name in the Death Note, manipulating him to acquire L's real. This means that Watari is the real name of L's representative, instead of it being Quillish Wammy like the manga. A new rule exclusive to the Netflix movie is that you can burn a page of the Death Note effectively making any name written down in the destroyed page null and void to the effects of the Death Note. Another Netflix movie only rule is you can write someone's name in the Death Note and only have them die once the target's actions meet a set of pre-conceived requirements. E.g. “Mia dies upon touching the Death Note”. This obviously disregards the first rule “whoever's name is written in this note shall die” because so long as you do not meet the requirements, you can still live a long life without any passive effect of the Death Note.   By breaking and entering L finds a Death Note, or at least usable scraps of it. The implication is that L has evidence on Light, although how L can deduct that the note is the murder weapon is never explored.     Feel free to follow us through the following links: Facebook Instagram Twitter Official Website   Email

Did you know there was a musical based on the Death Note manga? And that Demon Kaka (formerly Kogure) made a Death Note tribute song? James tests Steven by seeing if he can connect the characters to their respective songs. As well as giving their impression and thoughts on volume 8 of the Shonen masterpiece. This episode also marks the reveal of one lucky manga winner. So come and appreciate manga with us! Skip synopsis @ 3:43 095: Death Note vol. 8 ⁓ Target Chapters 62 and 70 ‘Decision' and ‘Tremble' Story by Tsugumi Ohba Artwork by Takeshi Obata Translation by Alexis Kirsch Lettering by Gia Cam Luc Light's goal of world domination as Kira is threatened by the existence of L's heirs, Near and Mello. Mello makes the first move and abducts Light's sister, Sayu Yagami, demanding her life in exchange for the Death Note that the Japanese task force own. With the help of Light and the task force, Soichiro Yagami tries to rescue his daughter without involving the police. Matsuda claims to be the new L, to shield Light's identity. Mello acquires a Death Note and soon afterwards Mello threatens the life of the US President, demanding amnesty, resources, and info on Near's team in order to detain Kira himself. In return he promises to give Kira's Death Note to the president once Kira is defeated. Fearing Mello's powers, the President of the United States seeks help from the new L, Light Yagami. The president grants him a special force unit so to attack Mello's hideout. Light was able to find Mello's hideout by finding one of Mello's mafia goons and the current owner of the Death Note, Kal Snydar, having access to FBI records, Misa can use her Shinigami eyes to see that Snydar's lifespan is not visible, a clue which means he holds a Death Note. With Misa's help Light uses his own Death Note to control Snydar and has him give away his position to Misa before he dies. Mello meets the original Shinigami owner of his Death Note, Sidoh, who has now entered the realm of humans in order to retrieve their Death Note and extend their own lifespan. Snydar, makes the eye trade, giving Sidoh half his lifespan for the ability to know names by looking at the adjoining person's face. When attacked, Sidoh assists Mello's gang, resulting in the death of the Special force unit and the US president.   Similarities between the 2015 Japanese stage musical and other Death Note media: Takeshi Kaga reprises his role of Soichiro Yagami, previously having starred in the 2006 Japanese movies. Light gets Naomi Misora's name in a similar manner to the 2006 movie. L reveals himself to Light and the two have a tennis match before L makes it clear that he suspects L. Major differences between the 2015 Japanese stage musical and manga: Misa herself is already established as a pop idol and supporter of Kira before Lind L.Tailor appears. Both Sayu and Light attend one of Misa's concerts. Sayu is clearly anti-kira. Thus, adding tension towards the sibling relationship between her and Light. The bus jacking scene is omitted, Light Yagami manages to obtain the FBI agents' names through hacking their computer systems. That one “potato chip” scene is omitted but otherwise it is implied through dialog that L has bugged the Yagami home. Soichiro Yagami is much more forward when expressing his disapproval of L's methods. In some scenes L is wearing a coat when walking outside. A sort of green waterproof parker. Mogi dies as a result of spying on Misa and Light, meaning that Misa avoids letting the task force suspect that she has Shinigami eyes, at least until Mogi's death. Rem who is played by Megumi Hamada, wears an eyepatch only for promotional images, otherwise an eyepatch is missing from her costume in the live show. The Yotsuba arc is entirely omitted and Light never gives up the Death Note nor his memories of it and is instead confident that Rem will not harm him and shirks responsibility for Misa's wellbeing on to Rem. This results in Rem successfully killing L without the Yotsuba arc being triggered. Max Von Sydow is an actor best known for his roles in 'Game of Thrones' (2016 ), 'Dune' (1984), 'The Exorcist' (1973), 'Flash Gordon' (1980) and arguably his most iconic role in 'The Seventh Seal' (1957), in the Seventh Seal his character plays a game of Chess with Death, hoping he can bide enough time to find meaning in his life. One has to wonder if Sidoh's name was inpired by the actor. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Twitter Official Website   Email

A turning point in the manga's original run spurs conversation around what Hirohiko Araki (Author of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure) called “a return to zero”, or as the boys like to call it, “the Dragonball problem”, a problem that all long running Shonen authors tend to face.

When they touch the Death Note, they can see the death god Rem at the scene. Light regains his Death Note-related memories by touching the notebook and kills Higuchi by using a piece of Death Note he hid inside his watch. L and the Kira investigation task force study the Death Note and question Rem. Misled by the false rules written in the cover, they remove Light's handcuffs and set Misa free. Misa tries to recall L's real name while continuing Kira's work at Light's instruction. To protect Misa, Rem kills Watari and L, and forfeits her own life by doing so. Five years pass as Light is employed under the NPA whilst working with the task force as the next L. The FBI and CIA form a new team, the Special Provision for Kira (SPK), in order to hunt for Kira, who begins to gain moral support from parts of the world. Topics: “L” as a character, Mello and Near.

Ever wondered why the English names in Death Note sound so odd? Well today's episode has Steven and James talk about why that is as well as the “Yotsuba arc” of Death Note, besides expressing their thoughts and opinions on the art and pacing of the story. Beware of spoilers! Skip synopsis @ 3:10 Email: WeAppreciateManga@Gmail.com   092: Death Note vol. 5 ⁓ Whiteout Chapters 35 to 43 “Whiteout” and “Black” Story by Tsugumi Ohba Art by Takeshi Obata Translation by Alexis Kirsch Lettering by Gia Cam Luc   After a week in prison, Light Yagami forfeits the Death Note and his memories associated with it. Light and Misa's life are seemingly threatened in order to get a confession from them but the bluff leaves L at an impasse. L then decides to set up a new base of operation, putting Misa under surveillance and having Light always be handcuffed to him as they both seek out the truth around Kira.   Light finds a new lead on the case whereupon the new suspects are the Yotsuba Corporation, Light also deduces that Kira can kill in ways other than a heart attack. The Shinigami Rem has given her Death Note to one of the members so to remove suspicion from Light and Misa. However, this new Kira is killing white collar criminals involved in corporate demeanours as well as making bribes to the Japanese government. The police refuse to chase Kira further, forcing task force members to resign as police and work under L. All except one detective Aizawa, who despises L's methods, he instead chooses to be closer to his family investigate Kira on his own terms. L hires a conman and burglar, Aiber and Wedy to infiltrate the Yotsuba corporation. But the detective Matsuda acts alone as Misa's manager and is soon caught eavesdropping on their meetings. L devises a plan to fake Matsuda's death and soon afterwards they bug the Yotsuba meeting room.   Topics: Ever wondered why the English names in Death Note sound so weird? The potential of Eraldo Coil, having been a new character to rival L has us wondering. We must take a moment and praise Takeshi Obata's illustration work. Considering how “wordy” the manga can be. Obata's use of expressions and the way he capitalizes on L's quirks for visual appeal demonstrates a mangaka who is a master at his craft! The dudes speculate on which of the Yotsuba members have a Death Note, isn't it strange how one of them looks uncannily like Light Yagami? The 90's TV shows James mentions, ‘X–Files' and ‘Twin Peaks' are thematically like Death Note in that they involve an open-minded detective trying to catch a supernatural killer, but unlike the detectives in Death Note the characters are FBI agents instead.   Facebook Instagram Twitter Official Website   Email

Today the guys talk about the impressions they have from the characters Rem and Misa Amane, the latter arguably being the most iconic alternative emo / gothic chick to ever step off from the pages of manga and into a hot topic. Skip synopsis @ 3:13 Email: WeAppreciateManga@Gmail.com 091: Death Note vol. 4 - Love Story by Tsugumi Ohba Art by Takeshi Obata Translation by Alexis Kirsch Lettering by Gia Cam Luc   The detective L has Light Yagami join him on the investigation of the fake Kira. Light, realising he is suspected as the real Kira, cannot afford to say anything but tell L that he thinks there are two Kiras. Light soon figures out the hidden meaning behind the second Kira's message to the real Kira and heads to Aoyama in hopes of more information but is unexpectedly discovered by the second Kira, a young woman by the name of Misa Amane. After gathering enough information on Light, Misa watches a broadcast from the police, addressing the second Kira and begging for her own safety not to contact the real Kira. Upon seeing this Misa walks out of her house and goes to visit Light. She reveals her death God, Rem, to him and the fact that she has the sight of a death God (a.k.a. Shinigami eyes). Which means she can see anyone's name by looking at their face except for other Death Note users. Misa declares her love for Light and soon both Light and Misa make a truce in order to kill L. Before L retreats he spends time with Light at his university. To Light's surprise, Misa makes an appearance and Light introduces Misa to L as Hideki Ryuga. Once separate from them, Light uses a private cellphone to call Misa and acquire L's real name to put in his Death Note with the intention of killing him. However, the person who answers the phone is none other than L, having pick-pocketed Misa before she left. Misa is arrested and detained on suspicion as the second Kira. Whilst restrained Misa, relinquishes her ownership of her Death Note to Rem and in turn her memories of anything related to the Death Note are taken from her. Rem visits Light, informing him of the situation and demanding that he save Misa from suspicion. (And when a god death starts making demands; that is when you should really listen) In response Light hands himself in to be detained and put under surveillance. Telling L that he may be unconsciously acting as Kira. suspects that this is all an act from Light and some sort of ploy in order to prove that his innocence. Yet L obliges, deeming it as the best course of action despite it being Light's wish. Facebook Instagram Twitter Official Website   Email

Light Yagami, possessor of the titular Death Note, manages to kill off the few FBI agents tasked to spy on him. By simply holding the agent Rey Penber hostage he exploits the rules of the Death Note which include the facts that you can influence the victim's behaviour in their last moments by what is written, you can also have someone use sheets from the Death Note without knowledge of its power and you can pre-emptively write the cause and details of a death before putting any name to it. Meanwhile the detective L, teams up with the last remaining members of a Japanese task force formed to capture Kira, this includes Light's father Soichiro Yagami. L bravely exposes his face as a show of trust but chastises the force for giving him their real names. As L has already established. A name and a face are all Kira needs to kill. L interrogates each of the members before deducing they are not Kira and so L vows to the team that they will show Kira that “the good guys always win”. Unbeknownst to Light, Rey's Widow Naomi Misora has a lead on Kira and goes to contact L and the task force. But since the task force are too busy meeting L it results in no one being in the office. Through happenstance Light meets Naomi at the reception desk of the task force HQ, seeing her as a threat, he manages to convince her that he is a member of the task force. Naomi buys into Light's lies, since Naomi has worked on a case with L in the past, she finds that Light reminds her of L. Light asks for her I.D. and manages to write her name in a spare piece of the Death Note, her cause of death being suicide, After the note takes effect Light reveals to Naomi that he is Kira and so Naomi walks away never to be seen again. Four days later, news of Naomi's disappearance reaches L. In response L narrows his investigation to the last people Raye was probing before Kira started experimenting with his victims. L begins to bug the homes of the deputy Kitamura and Detective Superintendant Soichiro Yagami. And now L can monitor Light within his own home. What L does not know is that Ryuk, the Death God that accompanies Light, cannot be seen by humans without a Death Note. Topics: The earliest signs of controversy around Death Note occurred in China before reaching the U.S. Curse tablets existed between 500BCE and 300BCE in Greece. The Los Angeles BB murder case is referenced again in a light novel spin off by Nishio Ishin. With a character called Mello being the narrator, it tells the story of Naomi Misora and L trying to catch a serial killer with “Shinigami eyes.” Ryuk, the Death God.

For the Halloween holidays all 3 dudes, James, Will and Steven talk about one of the most successful manga of all time, and that is Death Note! Wherein a bored schoolboy picks up the grim reaper's notebook. It reads “The Human whose name is written in this note shall die” Skip synopsis @ 7:07 Email: WeAppreciateManga@Gmail.com 88:  Death Note vol. 1 ~ Boredom Story by Tsugumi Ohba Art by Takeshi Obata Translation by Pookie Rolf Lettering by Gia Cam Luc “The Human whose name is written in this note shall die” is the first rule written in a mysterious notebook. One that the ace student Light Yagami finds. Light is popular with the ladies of his class and has great prospects yet he is bored. Five days later he is met with the original owner of the titular notebook, The Death-God, Ryuk who tells him more about its rules. Specifically, that the face of the name must be in the writer's mind when written, that the cause of death must be written in under 40 seconds or else it will default to a heart attack, and that details of the death can be written in under 6 minutes and 40 seconds, to name just a few. Also, only those who have touched the death­-note can witness the original owner that is the phantom like Ryuk. Light shows Ryuk that he has been using the death­-note towards a campaign for his own brand of justice, believing he is making the world a better place, Light has been killing a vast multitude of criminals with the default heart attack adding to his Modus Operandi. Soon Light's action no longer resembles coincidence and people catch on and claim Light's actions as divine intervention, dubbing Light as the mysterious god “Kira” (the Japanese mispronunciation for Killer). Interpol finds the deaths suspicious and hire the mysterious sleuth known only as “L” to determine who is Kira and arrest him for murder if it is at all possible. L confronts Kira/Light from a regional TV broadcast, a fake L and death-row inmate called Lind L.Taylor stands in as bait so to goad Light into committing another murder. Light kills Lind L.Taylor confirming to L that Kira is Japanese and is able to kill someone without direct contact. A change in Light's killing patterns leads L to suspect that Kira has links to the NPA. Light is confident that this will only cause in-fighting between the NPA and L and hopes that he can use the NPA to uncover L's identity for him. Ryuk, who notices that Light is being spied upon tells him of a deal, if Light trades half of his lifespan he will be able to get “Shinigami eyes”, eyes that show the name of any individual he sees as well as their lifespan. Light refuses the offer, claiming that the legacy of Kira must last as long as possible so to make an impact on the world. Light then decides to bait the spy that is shadowing him, he does this by influencing the last moments of a wanted criminal's life. He makes himself a hostage for a bus hijacker by going on a date, he writes a note to his date saying he will confront the hijacker knowing that his shadow will see this. The shadow begs him not to do so, Light demands proof that the man is not an accomplice to the hijacker, so the man reveals himself as the FBI agent Raye Penber. The Hijacker dies, running off the bus and into a car after seeing a phantom as detailed in the death­-note. All Light did during this time was drop a scrap of the death­-note, which lead to the hijacker picking it up and seeing Ryuk. And everything goes according to plan for Light.

It's Monday June 13th, 2022, and this is a look at the information security news from overnight. From BleepingComputer.comResearchers report increased activity of the Hello XD ransomware, which is based on the leaked source code of Babuk, with two significant notes. One is that the operators are now deploying an upgraded sample featuring stronger encryption that includes custom packing for detection avoidance and encryption algorithm changes. And two, they are now including an open-source backdoor named MicroBackdoor. Lots of details in the article. From CPOMagazine.comm:An analysis of leaked chats from the Conti ransomware group have found two items of note. Evidently the cybercrime group was planning firmware attacks targeting the Intel Management Engine. Such a compromise would allow threat actors to introduce a backdoor on Intel devices and execute commands without detection by OS-based security tools. The other interesting piece is that the chat logs seem to confirm a link between the Conti group and the Russian Foreign Services Bureau. Color me not surprised. From TechRadar.com:A new ransomware group called WannaFriendMe, is targeting gamers with the Chaos ransomware, which tries to pass itself off as Ryuk. The strange thing is, the decryptor is so easy, my kid can get it. I only say that because to get the decryptor, you need to log into a Roblox account and buy a specific game pass. Costs about $20. From SecurityWeek.com:Cybercriminals likely operating out of China are distributing backdoored versions of iOS and Android Web3 wallets in an effort to steal users' seed phrase. This previously unreported campaign, dubbed SeaFlower, has been described as one of the most technically sophisticated threats targeting users of Web3 wallets ever seen. Details in the article. From ThreatPost.comResearchers warn Bluetooth signals can be used to track device owners via a unique fingerprinting of the radio signal. Their paper suggests that minor manufacturing imperfections in hardware are unique to each device, and cause measurable distortions which can be used as a basically a fingerprint to track a specific device. Details and a link to the research in the article. And last today, from The Register.comYou ever see the movie Her? Well, since 2021, Google's Responsible AI team, has been tasked with talking to LaMDA, or Language Model for Dialogue Applications. This project was built by fine-tuning a family of Transformer-based neural language models specialized for dialog, with up to 137 billion model parameters. Someone on that team has recently been placed on paid administrative leave for violating Google's confidentiality policies. This person has gone on record stating that they believe the application has exhibited self-awareness and is now a sentient being. That is quite enough from me today. Have a great rest of your day. Like and subscribe, and until tomorrow, be safe out there.

In today's podcast we cover four crucial cyber and technology topics, including: 1.Vice Society Ransomware crew claim Palermo attack 2.Researchers find WannaFriendMe ransomware, demanding robux  3.Researchers uncover group active for 10 years targeting Southeast Asia   4.Dark Web postings may indicate black market weapon deals via Ukraine I'd love feedback, feel free to send your comments and feedback to  | cyberandtechwithmike@gmail.com

For this episode, Jane and LeEan talk about Death Note, bagussies, Light never getting caught despite constantly smirking while bathed in darkness, Ryuk being built like Pete Davidson, nearly rage quitting the anime after L takes an L, and how we'd use the Death Note for our own lives (full time IOA host, get rid of capitalism, death by spaceship explosion). --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/isle-of-anime/support

Rockford Public Schools in Illinois was infected with the Ryuk ransomware just days after the school year started in September 2019. They had one thought for the suspected Russia-based cybercriminal group at the root of the attack: "Screw them." The attack encrypted upwards of six million files, wrecked applications and locked up servers. But the district refused to pay the ransom and kept classes running while mounting a mighty recovery effort. Speakers: Jason E. Barthel, Chief Information Officer, Rockford Public Schools; Earl Dotson Jr., Chief Communications Officer, Rockford Public Schools; Cathy Bayer, Senior Communications Manager, Rockford Public Schools; Doug Levin, National Director, K12 Security Information Exchange; Errol Weiss, Chief Security Officer, Health Information Sharing and Analysis Center; Jeremy Kirk, Executive Editor, Information Security Media Group.

Dr. Khatuna Mshvidobadze is a Professorial Lecturer of Cybersecurity at the George Washington University and Adjunct Professor of Cyber Security at Champlain College. She is also a Senior Fellow at the Rondeli Foundation in Tbilisi, Georgia. Earlier, she developed and taught cyber security courses for M.S. and M.P.S. programs at Utica College. She has been Deputy Director of the Information Center on NATO in Georgia and Adviser to the Office of the Minister of Defense of Georgia. Her articles have appeared in Georgian and in English, including in Defense News, Jane's Defense Weekly, US News & World Report, Jane's Foreign Report, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and more.  She has presented topics on cyber threats at different venues inside and outside of the country: The Office of the Secretary of Defense, US Department of Defense, FBI Headquarters and field offices, Department of Justice, Defense Intelligence Agency, U.S. Healthcare Sector Coordinating Council, Mitre Corporation, Raytheon BBN Technologies, NATO and EU events. She has also been a speaker at TEDx, DefCon and RSA conferences and more. In this podcast, Dr. Khatuna Mshvidobadze traces the history of Russian information warfare doctrine, and its subset of cyber warfare, operating under an umbrella of “an integrated system of systems”. Through examples such as the Russia-Georgia conflict of 2008 and Ukraine critical infrastructure disruptions of 2015/2016 – she elaborates how the doctrine evolved, from its foundation days in the 1970s, rooted in the military writings of Nikolai Ogarkov, then Chief of the Soviet General Staff, to today. Laying out how the cyber troops units are structured under Russia's military and intelligence organizations, the GRU (Military Intelligence Directorate), Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), and Federal Security Service (FSB), she points out how they carried out the cyber intrusions, using such tactics as phishing and remote desktop protocols exploitations. Besides state sponsored cyber-attacks, she also notes the wave of ransomware attacks launched by Russian criminal groups such as REvil and Ryuk during the Covid-19 pandemic. Dr. Mshvidobadze highlighted how outsourcing is a key element in carrying out the attacks, where criminal groups work with Russian threat actor groups, and sometimes across national borders. One example is the information warfare campaigns prevalent during the current Russia-Ukraine conflict carried out by “GhostWriter”, which has alleged ties to Belarus, a Russian ally. Referencing the recent supply chain attacks such as the SolarWinds and Kaseya incidents by Russian groups, she advises cyber defenders to step up defensive measures on critical infrastructure, re-assess supply chains, and build threat intelligence into cybersecurity frameworks. Recorded with Jane Lo, Singapore Correspondent, Wednesday 27th April 2022 1pm (Italy)/ 7pm (Singapore)

Cybersecurity experts are increasingly worried about attacks and ransomware directed at the 70,000 water and wastewater facilities in the United States. In November 2020, the Hampton Roads Sanitation District, which serves 1.7 million people in eastern Virginia, was infected with the Ryuk ransomware. Fortunately, its operational technology systems were unaffected, and it recovered. Here's how HRSD fought back, and how think tanks and the federal government are studying ways to strengthen the defenses of this critical infrastructure sector.

The CyberPHIx Roundup is your quick source for keeping up with the latest cybersecurity news, trends and industry leading practices, specifically for the healthcare industry. In this episode, our host Brian Selfridge highlights the following topics trending in healthcare cybersecurity this week: The FBI's alert for an imminent ransomware attack on the US healthcare system; summary of the evolving attack and protection measures The Maze ransomware group calls it quits; details of their related announcement Hackers targeting psychotherapy notes for ransom and extortion California election results: citizens approve a new California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (CPRA) which touts the “strongest online privacy rights in the world”. Note: this is different from the California's related CCPA regulation. Aetna hit with a $1m HIPAA fine from OCR related to three separate breaches $350,000 class action lawsuit for St. Francis Healthcare related to ransomware attack

In this episode Javvad and Erich take a look at the new low that the Ryuk ransomware gang is sinking to, that is targeting hospitals and medical clinics.  They also discuss the incredible amount of money being made in the ransomware game, with one group claiming to have made over $100 million. On the other side of that coin, a ransomware gang donated $10k to charity. Why? Who really knows? Maybe guilt, maybe a PR move, maybe just a way to get mentioned on the show.  Finally, to wrap up their ransom demanding trend today, they discuss a group that breached a Finnish psychotherapy clinic and then blackmailed the patients. All of this and more in this week's show.

We can put off somethings or only so long. Like a cancer diagnosis or answering the IRS collectors at the door. But at lest we can do it on our own terms. So get ready, agent Thurgood, I'm coming out pantsless. How about an adaptation nobody asked for made by people who don't care? Of course we're talking about the netflix version of Death Note[2017]. Willem Dafoe got a paycheck at least for voicing Ryuk. Meanwhile everyone else sleepwalks through their performances. L is neutered and kind of weak. The Death Note itself is a fate machine capable of making sequences like in Final Destination. Weltall has 2 Guns[2013]. Technically based on a … Continue reading "Popcorn Pulse 131: Note of Death"
