Third Monolith Appears atop Pine Mountain, California after Mystery Objects in Utah and Romania Removed

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/third-monolith-appears-atop-pine-mountain-california-after-mystery-objects-in-utah-and-romania-removed/ar-BB1bB2d2?ocid=uxbndlbing

The reflective obelisk was found at the top of Pine Mountain in Atascadero, San Luis Obispo County.

The monolith was discovered by walkers this week, with photos of the three-sided, 10-foot tall piece of stainless steel shared on social media.

NewsChannel 12, the CBS station for Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties, reported that the structure was located at the summit of a two-mile hike in Stadium Park.

The latest discovery in California is the third metal monolith in what has become a global mystery with few clues. The vacuum of information led some to ponder whether the structure is evidence of aliens at work, while more cynical observers suggested it was more likely to be a marketing stunt.

On November 18, sheep herders discovered the first of the metal monoliths in the Utah desert. Just over a week later, the structure disappeared, replaced with a smaller pyramid and surrounded by rocks.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which administers the area, said it had received "credible reports" the structure had been removed "by an unknown party."

iPhone exploit gave hackers control over WiFi without your input

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/iphone-exploit-gave-hackers-control-over-wifi-without-your-input/ar-BB1byJ5a

Many security exploits require at least some kind of interaction on your part, but that wasn’t true for an iPhone exploit earlier this year. As Ars Technicareports, Google Project Zero researcher Ian Beer has detailed an iOS 13 exploit that let someone remotely control a device over WiFi using a “zero-click” attack — that is, with no input required from the target.

The exploit took advantage of a buffer overflow bug in a driver for the in-house mesh networking protocol used for features like AirDrop. As that driver sits in the operating system’s kernel, which has extensive privileges, a successful hack could have dealt extensive damage. An intruder could have installed an “implant” that accessed sensitive info like cryptographic keys and photos, for instance.

It wouldn’t have been trivial to stage an attack, but it wouldn’t have been difficult, either. Beer used a laptop, a Raspberry Pi 4 and a readily available Netgear WiFi adapter, and he was working from home during a pandemic lockdown. The stealthiness was the greater concern. A perpetrator could have swiped personal data while leaving you completely oblivious, at least as long as there was a reasonably close hiding place.

Michigan couple married for 47 years die from Covid-19 on the same day

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/michigan-couple-married-47-years-die-covid-19-same-day-n1249365

Just two days before Thanksgiving, a Michigan couple married for 47 years died from Covid-19.

Leslie and Patricia McWaters both died from Covid-19 on Nov. 24 after being hospitalized with the virus, according to an obituary. Their deaths were recorded at the exact same time.

“It’s beautiful, but it’s so tragic. Kind of like Romeo and Juliet,” their daughter, Joanna Sisk, told NBC affiliate WDIV. “One wouldn’t have wanted to be without the other.”

Patricia McWaters, 78, who was known to friends and family as Pat, was a registered nurse and spent 35 years of her career working in the operating room at the Foote Allegiance Hospital in Jackson, Michigan, her hometown.

Leslie McWaters, 75, also originally from Jackson and known as “LD” to friends and family, was a truck driver and a veteran of the United States Navy Reserve.
