Chico State students looking for a cheap and fun reason to get out of the house in a COVID-19-friendly way and only a few miles from campus need to look no further than the Peregrine Point disc golf course right off Highway 32 in Bidwell Park.
Access to the course is free and no reservation is required, although players should plan to bring their own discs. Flying discs can be found for around $20 in most Chico’s recreational sports stores.
Peregrine Point is an 18-hole course on 10 acres of land purchased by the City of Chico in 1994. The course comes with amazing views of Bidwell Park and tons of fun, even for beginners.

A Chinese hacking group reportedly cloned and deployed a zero-day exploit developed by the U.S. National Security Agency s Equation Group before Microsoft patched the Windows vulnerability that was being exploited in 2017, according to an analysis published Monday by Check Point Research.
For several years, researchers had suspected the Chinese hacking group known as APT31 or Zirconium had developed an exploit tool to take advantage of a vulnerability tracked as CVE-2017-0005 and found in older versions of Windows, such as Windows 7 and Windows 8, according to the report.
The new Check Point research, however, demonstrates how the Chinese hacking group reportedly stole, cloned and then exploited a zero-day vulnerability created by the Equation Group, which is widely believed to be tied to the NSA s elite Tailored Access Operations team.

See update on the Biden administration s appointment of a leader for SolarWinds supply chain attack investigation.
Citing a lack of coordination and transparency, U.S. Sens. Mark Warner and Marco Rubio of the Intelligence Committee are urging the four federal agencies investigating the cyberattack that targeted SolarWinds and other organizations to designate a leader for their investigative efforts. The threat our country still faces from this incident needs clear leadership to develop and guide a unified strategy for recovery, in particular a leader who has the authority to coordinate the response, set priorities and direct resources to where they are needed, the two senators say.

The Georgia runoffs resulted in the Democrats winning the Senate, meaning they now control both Houses.
For Big Tech companies like Facebook, Google, and Twitter, this means they will have to start planning for when the Biden administration turns its attention to Section 230 – the part of US law that grants broad protections to platforms for user-generated content.
The President-elect has previously said he wants to repeal Section 230.
Legal experts told Business Insider winning the Senate means the Democrats may be able to push through reforms to Section 230, although it will not be an easy road.
