Feinstein Canceled: San Francisco to Rename Elementary School

School named after Democratic senator to be renamed

The San Francisco Unified School District has decided to rename an elementary school named after California Democratic senator Dianne Feinstein, the Daily Mail reported Tuesday. Dianne Feinstein Elementary School is 1 of 44 schools that will be renamed because the district deemed their namesakes "inappropriate" in October. Feinstein's cancellable offense was raising a Confederate flag in front of San Francisco City Hall while serving as mayor in 1984. The district decided to reevaluate its school names following a summer of racial-justice protests. Among the schools it plans to rename are those whose namesakes owned slaves, perpetuated human-rights abuses, or oppressed minorities, women, and the LGBT community. A 1984 copy of Workers Vanguard reported that "Dixie" Feinstein raised a Confederate flag over the San Francisco Civic Center and replaced the flag after racial-justice protesters tore it down. Schools named after inventor Thomas Edison and Presidents George Washington, Herbert Hoover, and Abraham Lincoln will also be renamed. According to the district, Lincoln, who emancipated slaves, did not demonstrate that "black lives mattered to him." Other schools and local governments across the country have considered renaming buildings whose namesakes they deem problematic. Last week, a Virginia school district decided to rename schools named after President Thomas Jefferson and Founding Father George Mason, an action they called a "necessary part of our equity work." And Washington, D.C., mayor Muriel Bowser (D.) created a coalition that reviewed the names of buildings and landmarks and recommended renaming the Jefferson Memorial and the Washington Monument.

Foreign hack of US government bigger than previously known, CISA warns

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency revealed on Thursday that the massive global hacking campaign conducted by foreign actors is even larger than originally reported. The cyber actors gained secretive backdoor access in more ways than just through the publicly known SolarWinds software update being corrupted. “One of the initial access vectors for this activity is a supply chain compromise of the following SolarWinds Orion products. CISA has evidence of additional initial access vectors, other than the SolarWinds Orion platform; however, these are still being investigated,” CISA wrote on Thursday, emphasizing that “the SolarWinds Orion supply chain compromise is not the only initial infection vector this advanced persistent threat actor leveraged.” The federal security agency also warned on Thursday that “this threat poses a grave risk to the Federal Government and state, local, tribal, and territorial governments as well as critical infrastructure entities and other private sector organizations.” CISA said that the foreign hackers had compromised “U.S. government agencies, critical infrastructure entities, and private sector organizations” beginning “at least” in March and that the cyber actors “demonstrated patience, operational security, and complex tradecraft in these intrusions.” The agency added that it “expects that removing this threat actor from compromised environments will be highly complex and challenging for organizations” and that “it is likely that the adversary has additional initial access vectors and tactics, techniques, and procedures that have not yet been discovered.” CISA issued a government-wide directive just before midnight on Sunday to purge all federal agency networks of potentially compromised servers after discovering that, at the very least, the Treasury and Commerce departments were victims of a monthslong cyber campaign suspected by many to be a Russian hacking effort. The Department of Homeland Security, the State Department, and the National Institutes of Health are also believed to be victims.

SolarWinds acknowledged Sunday night that its systems had been compromised by hackers who infiltrated the company's Orion software updates in order to distribute malware to its customers' computers. The U.S. network-management company said roughly 18,000 of its customers were affected. Before the customers were removed from the company website, it boasted its 300,000 customers included "more than 425 of the US Fortune 500," the 10 biggest telecommunications companies in the United States, "all five branches" of the U.S. military, and a number of different government agencies — including the State Department, the National Security Agency, the Justice Department, and the Office of the President. Republican Senate Finance Chairman Chuck Grassley and Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden sent a letter to IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig on Thursday, as reported by the Wall Street Journal, asking for a briefing, writing: “Given the extreme sensitivity of personal taxpayer information entrusted to the IRS, and the harm both to Americans’ privacy and our national security that could result from the theft and exploitation of this data by our adversaries, it is imperative that we understand the extent to which the IRS may have been compromised.” On Wednesday, a bipartisan group of six senators told the FBI and CISA that “we are seeking all available information on the scope and details of the recently exposed vulnerability’s impacts on the U.S. federal government.”
