Fimmick has offices in Hong Kong and across China, serving several high-profile clients like McDonalds, Coca-Cola, Shell, Asus and others. Their website is currently down, and there was no response to ZDNet requests for comment. Matt Lane, CEO of UK-based cybersecurity firm X Cyber Group, said his team routinely “scrutinizes the activities of cybercriminals for evidence of their behaviors” as a way to protect clients and customers. On Tuesday, they discovered that REvil had breached Fimmick’s databases and claimed to have data from a number of global brands....

The ordinance is further steering Hong Kong away from freedom of expression and towards Beijing-esque censorship guidelines. On the Chinese mainland, the government closely monitors films for themes or depictions that might be critical of the Communist Party and its leadership.

I ignored it. Then I noticed that more apps were offloaded. Apps that I needed. Sure, I just had to click on them to re-download them, but clearly the problem was quite serious. I finally had to face up to the problem. A problem I’d created for myself with drone shots and video, screenshots, downloaded memes, and so on. Ugh.
