19 hours left in PN hacker deadline

19 hours left in PN hacker deadline
Apr 28 2021 Share

After news hit social media that the Nationalist Party was being targeted by hackers that threaten to release ‘valuable company documents’, the PN has just 19 hours left to contact the hackers. The hackers claimed that they have ‘company financial data, salary payments, employee’s personal documents, banking, private client data, payment documents and much more.’

They were initially given 240 hours, but the clocks seems to be ticking as the party has seemingly taken no steps to comply with the hackers. Following the news of the potential hack, Opposition leader Bernard Grech stated that they will not be negotiating with them and will not be paying any money to stop the information from leaking.

Fully vaccinated people in US no longer require masks outside

Fully vaccinated people in US no longer require masks outside

The President of the United States Joe Biden has made it official that people who are fully vaccinated can now go out in public without wearing a mask. Stating that ‘because of the extraordinary progress we’ve made in the fight against COVID-19, the CDC made a big announcement today; If you are fully vaccinated – and if you are outdoors and not in a large crowd – you no longer need to wear a mask.’ The US has administered more than 230 million doses since COVID-19 began, with 95.9 million people being fully vaccinated.

Currently in Malta, the requirement of wearing masks is a debated topic, with many asking whether people are obliged to wear them when on the beach. Masks are still obligatory in Malta as the epidemiological situation is monitored and measures adapted depending on the context. In terms of vaccinations, 50% of Malta’s adult population has been vaccinated, with 318,706 doses administer as of yesterday.

No sign of virus spread after test concert in Spain

No sign of virus spread after test concert in Spain
Apr 28 2021 Share

After Spain held a test concert in Barcelona last month, researchers found no sign of higher levels of infection among attendees. 5000 music fans participated in the event after testing negative for COVID-19. Despite six people testing positive within 14 days of the gig, the incidence was found to be lower than that seen in the general population. Of the six that tested positive, four of them were found to have contracted the virus elsewhere and not the actual event.

The rate of infection of the show, featuring band Love of Lesbian, was half the rate of people of the same age in Barcelona. Attendees wore masks but were not required to socially distance. The band itself issued a statement saying that ‘we hope that from now on, after these excellent results, the world of culture will be listened toastier it deserves to be.’
