IT software firm Ivanti, which acquired Pulse Secure late last year, today confirmed attackers have targeted a limited number of customers using Pulse Connect Secure (PCS) appliances. It has been working with Mandiant, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and others to respond to the exploits, which target three known vulnerabilities and a zero-day.
The three known flaws include CVE-2020-8243, CVE-2020-8260, and CVE-2019-11510, which CISA recently warned is among several CVEs under attack by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) in its efforts to target US and allied networks, including national security and government systems. All of these vulnerabilities were patched in 2019 and 2020, Ivanti says.

On her identity as a Palestinian being inherently political
It s comical because all it takes is for me to use the word Palestinian and anything that I want to talk about no matter how far removed from politics suddenly is political. But at the same time . as Palestinians, as a people that do live under occupation, who are fighting for justice, it s hard to separate that reality from anything else that we do. Every person goes about it in a different way. I am in the food and writing world, and that s how I try to address or deal with that issue, from that angle. And someone else in a different sphere might deal with it from a different angle. . It can be a land mine, but it shouldn t be. . Food is the lowest common denominator we all have. . Regardless of where you come from or what religion you are or what your beliefs are, you have to eat.

Cookbook author Reem Kassis says that many foods that are considered Middle Eastern or Israeli actually originated as Palestinian dishes. Dan Perez/Phaidon Press
Growing up in East Jerusalem, Palestinian cookbook author Reem Kassis never expected to enter the food industry. For her, the kitchen represented a life sentence for women.
Instead, Kassis moved to the U.S. when she was 17, first studying business at the University of Pennsylvania s Wharton School and then at the London School of Economics. It wasn t until she had a child that she began to see the kitchen as a powerful place where she could share important stories about food and culture with her daughter.
