From High Life #Hackers to National Menace: The Rise and Fall of Digital Bandits '#ACG'
Braiden Williams' group, which has around six members, are a 21st century version of #bankrobbers. Instead of a gang lifting physical cash from a vault, these opportunists work together to quickly take over a target’s #phone number, intercept their login codes, then pilfer any #cryptocurrency they own before the victim has much of a chance to react at all.

#Cybersecurity #Cybercrime #Hacking #ACG: "ACG and Braiden weren’t L’Arc’s typical clientele. ACG is a group of alleged hackers who the FBI says are responsible for a wave of Bitcoin thefts and other crimes. Williams' group, which has around six members, are a 21st century version of bank robbers. Instead of a gang lifting physical cash from a vault, these opportunists work together to quickly take over a target’s phone number, intercept their login codes, then pilfer any cryptocurrency they own before the victim has much of a chance to react at all. Williams' role was allegedly transferring the target’s phone number to his own device in those multi-stage heists. And ACG pulled them off again and again: this trip to L’Arc and Europe, as well as Williams’ multiple high-end sports cars, was funded by those thefts.

Williams didn’t know it at that point, standing in the club in mid-2022, but soon after returning home from Europe to the U.S., he would come face to face with the FBI agents tracking him down. Instead of laying low, Williams would ramp up his activity, going beyond hacking to allegedly order physical violence and make bomb threats against universities across the country.

Williams’ crimes are not isolated to one young hacker who had more money than he knew what to do with. Nor is his story only about the rise of one group like ACG, which continues to strike fear into the broader community it is a splinter of, known as the “Comm.” Williams is part of a rapid and massive convergence between two traditionally separate sectors of crime. People like Willams have combined the frictionless, sophisticated world of cybercrime with the blunt brutality of physical violence, sprouting an entirely new area of the underground where essentially anything is possible. Hackers are no longer just people behind a keyboard. They have guns now, and innocent people are getting hurt."

For awareness week 2022, please take a look at the latest management guidelines. So appropriate that it falls over the holiday!

LWWACG Clinical Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of... : Official journal of the American College of Gastroenterology | ACGing this time, scrutiny of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) has increased considerably. Although PPIs remain the medical treatment of choice for GERD, multiple publications have raised questions about adverse events, raising doubts about the safety of long-term use and increasing concern about overprescribing of PPIs. New data regarding the potential for surgical and endoscopic interventions have emerged. In this new document, we provide updated, evidence-based recommendations and practical guidance for the evaluation and management of GERD, including pharmacologic, lifestyle, surgical, and endoscopic management. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation system was used to evaluate the evidence and the strength of recommendations. Key concepts and suggestions that as of this writing do not have sufficient evidence to grade are also provided....
