On Sunday, Hackers have stolen personal data that consists of Social Security numbers, addresses, and account numbers of home mortgage holders at KeyBank, the bank reports, in violation of a third-party vendor, serving multiple corporate clients.

According to a letter that Cleveland-based KeyBank sends to the affected residential mortgage customers, On July 5, the hackers acquired the information after breaking into computers at the insurance services provider Overby-Seawell company.

KeyBank operating in 15 states and close to $ 200 billion in assets, will not be saying that how many of their customers were impacted or be answerable for any other questions regarding the breach.

It claimed in a statement that On August 4, it was informed of the data theft and KeyBank systems and operations were not affected.

With regards to phone messages and emails sent to executives seeking comment, Overby-Seawell hasn’t responded. KeyBank in the statement sent Friday to The Associated Press said that Kennesaw, Georgia-based Overby-Seawell had suffered a cybersecurity incident that compromised the data of its corporate clients. It hasn’t elaborated.

According to its website, Overby-Seawell’s customers include banks, credit unions, mortgage servicers, finance companies, and property investors, Security Week reports.

If you see a message in your Apache error log which is like, ‘server reached MaxRequestWorkers setting’, it does not indicate that there is anything incorrect with Apache or your Apache MaxRequestWorkers setting. You should not be making any changes to Apache.

However, it means that one of your apps has been having slow PHP scripts or is receiving such a large number of requests that your PHP scripts are unable to answer requests as quickly as they are coming in.

The reason behind this error to happen?

For each app, PHP can simultaneously perform a limited number of requests. If a PHP script performs very slowly, a small amount of traffic can even be causing this limit to be reached.

When this limit is reached and all of an app’s PHP processes are busy executing requests, every additional request that comes into your server is queued by Apache until PHP completes an existing request and is available for another, ServerPilot reports.

While the number of queued requests waiting for PHP becomes too large, you see this ‘server reached MaxRequestWorkers’ setting” error message.

Identifying a Slow PHP Script

In this case, you should look at your app’s PHP slow log located at: /srv/users/serverpilot/log/APPNAME/APPNAME_phpX.Y.slow.log

where phpX.Y is the version of PHP your app is using, for example, php5.6.

Identifying a Large Amount of Traffic to a PHP Script

If you do not see any slow requests, then you should check your app’s PHP access log at:

/srv/users/serverpilot/log/APPNAME/APPNAME_phpX.Y.access.log

to see if you are receiving a large number of requests that you do not expect.

On Sunday, an unknown gang hacked the official Twitter account of the Electricity Minister of Tamil Nadu, V. Senthil Balaji.

After the hack, the name of the Twitter account was changed to “Variorius”. It was hacked roughly around 2 am and three messages have been posted so far on the Twitter handle, among which two were related to cryptocurrencies.

According to the first message which was posted at 2:09 am, DMK has developed its own crypto wallet and sought the support of DMK supporters. In the next tweet posted at 2:16 am, it read that to help people who are fighting covid-19, we would like to collect $1 million.

அனைவருக்கும் வணக்கம், எங்கள் கட்சி அதன் சொந்த கிரிப்டோ வாலட்டை உருவாக்கியுள்ளது. இன்று, முன்னெப்போதையும் விட, ஆற்றல் வளர்ச்சியில் உங்கள் உதவி எங்களுக்குத் தேவை. pic.twitter.com/QBSSLoHfh5

In the third tweet which was posted at 2:20 am, it read that they had created the crypto wallet to donate the money to Help India.

But after the third tweet, there has been no update and many DMK supporters have tagged Tamil Nadu Police and Cybercrime to take action. The account is yet to be recovered.

On Sunday, after The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) drops the Artemis 1 uncrewed mission to the Moon for the second time, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk throws up a suggestion for the ailing mission that will finally land astronauts on the lunar surface after decades.

NASA engineers were unsuccessful in overcoming a hydrogen leak in a ‘quick disconnect’ phase of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket launch on Saturday.

According to Eric Berger of Ars Technica, NASA has a tolerance for a small amount of hydrogen leakage and anything above a 4 percent concentration of hydrogen near the quick disconnect is considered to be a flammability hazard.

With regards to Berger’s accurate assessment, Musk replied that the Raptor design started out using H2 (hydrogen), but switched to CH4 (hydrogen). He further said that the latter is the best combo of high efficiency and ease of operation in his opinion.

SpaceX CEO explains that the Delta-v difference between H2 and CH4 is small for most missions because the CH4 tank is much smaller and no insulation is required.

The delta-v is the difference in velocity that a rocket engine can impose on a spacecraft as a function of the specific impulse and the variation in the mass of the vehicle itself, Free Press Journal reports.

On Saturday, Seventeen states with vehicle emission standards tied to rules established in California face heavy decisions on whether to follow that state’s strictest-in-nation new rules that need all new cars, pickups, and SUVs to be electric or hydrogen-powered by 2035, WDIO reports.

The states under the Clean Air Act must abide by the federal government’s standard vehicle emissions standards unless they at least partially choose to follow California’s stricter requirements.

Washington, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, and Vermont are amongst them who expected for adopting California’s ban on new gasoline-fueled vehicles. Colorado and Pennsylvania are among the states that probably won’t.

In Minnesota, the legal ground is a bit dull where the state’s Clean Cars rule has been a political minefield and the subject of a legal fight. Meanwhile, Republicans are rebelling in Virginia, WDIO reports.

The Minnesota Auto Dealers Association says that it’s reading of state and federal law is that the latest California rules kick in automatically in the state, and it’s making that case in court as it attempts to block them.

The trade group’s president, Scott Lambert said that the technology is such that the vehicles just don’t perform that well in cold weather. He further says that we don’t all live in southern California.

Rumors have suggested that the notch where the selfie camera sits may be smaller, and Apple will likely tout camera improvements or newly introduced always-on screen technology.

However, the feature that the company will be looking forward to the most to captivate customers will be the one introduced two years ago, 5G wireless.

Data have indicated that 5G wireless is becoming nearly as crucial in today’s iPhones as battery life and storage, the two features customers look most forward to when buying their phones.

The current wireless standard, which has been available for some years now from all of the major US carriers, is also the second-most cited reason people have told the researchers at the consultancy Deloitte that they’d switched mobile providers, behind better value for the money, World of Software reports.

Apple CEO Tim Cook is one of 5G’s biggest boosters, citing it nearly every time he has spoken about iPhones in public since the first offering of the technology with the iPhone 12 in 2020.

In July when discussing future prospects for his company’s handset despite rising inflation and a looming recession, he says that 5G has been an accelerant. He also thinks that there is a reason to be optimistic.

On Saturday, A pilot who threatened to deliberately crash into the Walmart store on West Main in Tupelo, a city in northeast Mississippi in the United States crash-landed his stolen plane and has been taken into custody.

Police have also been able to start talking with the pilot directly, it said but gave no information regarding the pilot’s identity or motive.

It is reported that the pilot has stolen the small aircraft, a Beechcraft King Air 90, from Tupelo Airport. It is a nine-seater with two engines.

The police have said in a statement that the citizens have been asked to stay away from that area until all clear is given. They further said that with the mobility of an airplane of that type the danger zone is much larger than Tupelo.

The people have been asked to disperse by the Tupelo Police Department. It says that all emergency services have been put on alert.

A map from the FlightAware website showed what appeared to be the plane’s course – an erratic, zigzag pattern centered around Tupelo, a city of about 40,000 known as the birthplace of Elvis Presley, NDTV reports.

In Seattle, A judge sided with Washington state’s attorney general on Friday and rejects Facebook parent company Meta’s argument that the state’s campaign law is running afoul of the First Amendment.

Ruling from the bench after a hearing, King County Superior Court Judge Douglass A. North found that Facebook has intentionally breached the Washington state law, says Attorney General Bob Ferguson in a tweet after the ruling.

Eli Sanders, a Seattle journalist who covered the dispute for years for The Stranger newspaper reports that the judge will now be considering fines and a possible injunction against the social media giant.

In court filings, Meta called Washington state an outlier to argue that the disclosure law breaches the First Amendment by unfairly targeting political speech, and imposing heavy timelines for revealing what Meta considers unreasonable degrees of detail to people who are requesting information regarding political ads, GeekWire reports.

According to Meta, Facebook has stopped serving ads for campaigns in the state after determining that the company won’t be able to reasonably comply with the law.

Meta’s products and services include Facebook, Messenger, Facebook Watch, and Meta Portal. It also acquires Oculus, Giphy, Mapillary, Kustomer, Presize and has a 9.99% stake in Jio Platforms. In 2021, the company had generated 97.5% of its revenue from the sale of advertising.
