#Iran says it used the same number of bombs the #US used on Iran’s #nuclear facilities

Iran's top #security body said in a statement that its armed forces used the same number of bombs that the US had used in attacking Iran’s nuclear facilities.

It also said the US base was far from urban facilities & residential areas in #Qatar.

It added that the action did not pose any threat to "our friendly & brotherly" neighbour Qatar.

#Kuwait, #Iraq, #Qatar, the #UAE & #Bahrain have all closed their airspace in light of the attacks.

A US #Defense Dept official confirmed that #Iran fired multiple short- & medium-range missiles at #AlUdeid Air Base in Qatar, & a damage assessment is underway. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss #security matters.

I need advice to secure a web server. I am currently managing an OJS server at my University. This server is often attacked, such as with PHP script injections, to cause malfunction or online gambling contents. What I have done so far:
1. Set permissions (the user owns all PHP scripts instead of www-data, these files are often modified by a third party)
2. File access monitoring ( I log every access that happens in the doc root)
3. daily backup

Adrian Carrasquillo: "Just hours after a man assassinated a Democratic politician and murdered her husband and shot another Democrat and a spouse, Trump spouts that 'Radical Left Democrats are sick of mind, hate our Country, and actually want to destroy our Inner Cities'.”

🆕 blog! “Your Password Algorithm Sucks”

There are two sorts of people in the world; those who know they are stupid and those who think they are clever.

Stupid people use a password manager. They know they can't remember a hundred different passwords and so outsource the thinking to something reasonably secure. I'm a stupid person and am very happy to have BitWarden…
