The Flood / Cyberattack by Chinese hackers hits University of Virginia

The University of Virginia shut down access to many of its information technology systems Friday in response to a cyberattack that originated in China, the university announced in a release.

The attack specifically targeted the email accounts of two employees whose work is connected with China, university officials told The Daily Progress. However, the identities and departments of those employees have not been released. They remain employed at the university, officials said Friday.

Forensic examination has indicated that personal information, including Social Security numbers, banking information and personal health records, was not accessed during the breach. There is also no evidence that any of the university’s research or similarly sensitive information was accessed, the university said in a release.

The university waited two months to announce the breach to “best protect against future attacks,” officials said in a news release Friday, “we notified the community as soon as we were confident that notification would not jeopardize our efforts to secure systems.”
“It is important that the hackers remain unaware of our action to investigate this event and protect against it,” the university’s release states. “If the university had not taken this course of action, the situation could have worsened.”
The university launched a system security upgrade at 5 p.m. Friday, which is expected to finish by Sunday evening — at that time, all of the university’s system users, including students and faculty, will be required to change their login passwords.

During the system upgrade, the university community will be notified of any emergency situations via several different channels, including fire alarms, sirens, UVa’s social media accounts and U.Va. Alerts, a system that notifies registered users of threats via text message.

My sister goes UVA, so this interested me a bit.

Are cyberattacks going to increase in the future, even with the headway the cyber security industry has made recently?

So there was this dude who the gods hired to build some shit
They said they would be pay him if he completed the task in three days

But he and his super strong horse were jacked up and tore through the building faster than I tear through dat ass

So Loki went down to stop him so the gods wouldn't have to pay and shit

To do this, he tried to distract the horse by transforming into a sexy mare

Only, the horse ended up raping him and he got pregnant

I think the kid that resulted from that killed Thor and Odin or something


I i i thought you were just saying that,  b but it's true ( ._.)

Everything is important; nothing is important.

There is no absolute, you cannot have something that is unstoppable and something that is immovable. At the same time, neither of those things can exist without the other and so neither exists in the first place.

OH, Väinämöinen.
Spoiler
''a god, hero and the central character in Finnish folklore and the main character in the national epic Kalevala. His name comes from the Finnish word väinä, meaning stream pool. Väinämöinen was described as an old and wise man, and he possessed a potent, magical voice.''

Spoiler
The first extant mention of Väinämöinen in literature is from a list of Tavastian gods by Mikael Agricola in 1551. He and other writers described Väinämöinen as the god of chants, songs and poetry. In many stories Väinämöinen was the central figure at the birth of the world. The Finnish national epic, Kalevala tells of his birth in the creation story in its opening sections. This myth displays elements of creation from chaos and from a cosmic egg, as well as earth diver creation.

At first there were only primal waters and Sky. But Sky also had a daughter named Ilmatar. One day, seeking a resting place, Ilmatar descended to the waters. There she swam and floated for 700 years until she noticed a beautiful bird also searching for a resting place. Ilmatar raised her knee towards the bird so it could land, which it did. The bird then laid six eggs made of gold and one made of iron. As the bird incubated her eggs Ilmatar's knee grew warmer and warmer until finally she was burned by the heat and reacted by jerking her leg. This motion dislodged the eggs, which then fell and shattered in the waters. Land was formed from the lower part of one of the eggshells while sky formed from the top. The egg whites turned into the moon and stars, and the yolk became the sun.

Ilmatar spent another few hundred years floating in the waters, admiring the results of these broken eggs until she could not resist the urge growing inside her to continue creation. Her foot prints became pools for fish and simply by pointing she created contours in the land. In this way she made all that is. Then one day she gave birth to Väinämöinen, the first man, whose father was the sea. Väinämöinen swam off until he found land, but the land was barren so he asked the Great Bear in the sky for help. A boy carrying seeds was sent down to him, and this boy spread flora across the land.

Fucking awesome. I like how Finland's mythology differs from other Scandinavian mythology.

According to Chinese mythology, the Dragon’s Gate is located at the top of a waterfall cascading from a legendary mountain.   Many carp swim upstream against the river’s strong current, but few are capable or brave enough for the final leap over the waterfall.  If a carp successfully makes the jump, it is transformed into a powerful dragon.  A Chinese dragon’s large, conspicuous scales indicate its origin from a carp. The image of a carp jumping over Dragon’s Gate is an old and enduring Chinese cultural symbol for courage, perseverance, and accomplishment.

Nuppeppo is a yōkai that is genderless and estimated to be up to 1.5m in height. It is described to have a flabby appearance and its appearance is accompanied by a pungent body odor. It appears as a blob of flesh with a hint of a face in the folds of fat. It is also described as having fingers and toes that are vaguely defined lumps.

The Nuppeppō is passive and unaggressive. The body odor is said to rival that smell of rotting flesh. Other theories claim that the Nuppeppō is actually decaying flesh. There is a rumor that states that those who eat the flesh of a Nuppeppō shall have eternal youth.

The Nuppeppō aimlessly wanders deserted streets of villages, towns and cities, often at night towards the year-end, or graveyards or abandoned temples. It is normally solitary, but there are sightings of them in groups. Fingers and toes may be attributed as features amidst of fold of the skin.

Mewtwo has the potential to be excellent if you put in the time

On a relevant note, an underwater pyramid type structure was found near an Okinawan beach several years ago. It makes one thing about how much of the human experience still remains unknown.
