The US insurance industry’s standard setter has suspended its risk designations on the investments of insurers, after a cyber attack compromised data from rating agencies including Moody’s, S&P and KBRA. Hacking group ShinyHunters this month claimed responsibility for accessing the systems of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, a body that coordinates state insurance rules and classifies the riskiness of insurers’ holdings. The NAIC said on Friday that credit rating agencies had “paused” data sharing in the wake of the breach, and that it had also suspended assigning its own risk designations to insurers’ investments.
Burning only the picture of the dickhead is not a crime if you get the passport in your name. Burning the dickhead would be a crime, even if justifiable, but there might be a chance of jury nullification.
I need to get my passport renewed. I’ll mail it in like I have previously, so hopefluly that eliminates the risk of getting stuck with that POS for the next 10 years.
When I was asking after the, um, commemorative design was announced, the news reports indicated that it would only be available for in-person applications at the DC passport office.
My passport expires next May. That bit of information made me feel comfortable sticking to my plan of renewing late this fall / early this winter.
