For a secular, anarcho-syndicalist Turkey
by professor rat 17 Mar '22

17 Mar '22

NEW paper first evaluates the impact of a two-decade-long Islamization policy carried out by a pro-Islamist party, which came to power in 2002 in Turkey, on the attitudes of Turkish people toward religious values, religious practices, and clergy. In this regard, how the importance of religion, frequency of going to mosques, and trust in the clergy have changed among Turkish Muslims between 2002 and 2018 were examined by using World Values Survey data and employing logistic regression analysis. Estimation results indicated a reduction in belief in God, attendance to mosques, and trust in clergy, which imply the failure of the Islamization policy. Second, we explored what caused the failure by using the same data set and methodology. Our estimations suggested that the symbiotic relationship between the pro-Islamist government and religious clergy and institutions may explain the failure. As the government is identified with religion in the eye of the public, dissatisfaction with the government turned to dissatisfaction with religious values. https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2022/03/did-turkish-islam…

SUPERINTENDENT ADRIENNE A. HARRIS ANNOUNCES THAT DFS HAS IMPOSED A PENALTY OF $8.25 MILLION ON MONEYGRAM FOR COMPLIANCE FAILURES Moneygram Failed to Properly Supervise Agents Engaging in Suspicious Transactions to China
by Gunnar Larson 17 Mar '22

*Great news out of the great state of New York: https://www.dfs.ny.gov/reports_and_publications/press_releases/pr202203161 <https://www.dfs.ny.gov/reports_and_publications/press_releases/pr202203161>* *I am very proud of our Superintendent today. The other news of the day was not coordinated with this. Obviously, no collusion on soon to be bankrupt MoneyGram ...: * Superintendent of Financial Services Adrienne A. Harris announced today that MoneyGram International Inc. (“MoneyGram”) has agreed to pay $8.25 million in penalties pursuant to a Consent Order entered into with the New York State Department of Financial Services (“DFS” or the “Department”). The Consent Order resolves the Department’s investigation into MoneyGram’s failure to adequately supervise local agents in New York City, including the Flushing neighborhood of Queens, that processed a substantial volume of suspicious transactions to China, in violation of Bank Secrecy Act/Anti-Money Laundering (“BSA/AML”) requirements and New York law. “Many New Yorkers depend on money transmitters to send money to their families, pay bills, and conduct other financial transactions,” said Superintendent Harris. “To maintain the integrity of that system for law-abiding New Yorkers, it is crucial money transmitters like MoneyGram diligently monitor all activity on its platform to prevent bad actors from abusing the system for illegal means.” An examination and subsequent enforcement investigation conducted by the Department found that MoneyGram did not adequately oversee the activity of six agents that saw a large spike in transaction volume of business with China from locations throughout New York City, including in Flushing, Queens. In 2014, the year preceding the spike in transaction volume, for example, there were approximately 7,500 transactions between New York and China aggregating approximately $30,000,000; during the 17-month period from January 2016 through May 2017, however, there were more than 25,000 transactions to China aggregating more than $100,000,000. The dramatic change in the number and size of the transactions processed by New York agents — most of which were small, store-front independent agents — was a clear indicator of increased money laundering risk, particularly given that the destination was known to carry a high AML risk. Moreover, other aspects of the increased transactions, including a suspicious pattern that many different senders transmitted money to the same recipient, were problematic and should have put MoneyGram on clear notice to address these risks. After being made aware of the suspicious spike in activity, MoneyGram terminated its relationship with the problematic agents and began instituting remedial measures designed to ensure better supervision of its agents across its network, among other measures. Under the settlement reached today, in addition to payment of a $8.25 million penalty, MoneyGram will be required to report to the Department on the enhancements to the policies and procedures of its BSA/AML compliance program, its Suspicious Activity Monitoring and Reporting program, and customer due diligence requirements. MoneyGram will also furnish data to the Department for ongoing monitoring purposes. DFS acknowledges MoneyGram’s cooperation with the investigation and its ongoing remedial efforts.

Biden accused Vladimir Putin’s forces of committing “atrocities” including attacking civilian areas <https://link.mail.bloombergbusiness.com/click/27051957.922182/aHR0cHM6Ly93d…>. Hours earlier, Russian forces bombed a theater in Mariupol sheltering hundreds of civilians, according to the city council there. The Kremlin denies targeting civilians. “Putin is afflicting appalling, appalling devastation and horror on Ukraine,” Biden said Wednesday at the White House, adding “it’s god awful.” Biden later called Putin a “war criminal.” <https://link.mail.bloombergbusiness.com/click/27051957.922182/aHR0cHM6Ly93d…> The daughter of Rostyslav Romanchuk stands by his coffin during a funeral for him and three other Ukrainians on March 15 in Lviv.

Rockets hit a convoy of civilians who were trying to evacuate from Mariupol to Zaporizhzhia, according to Ukrainian officials who said children were among the casualties. Rubble covered a street in Kyiv on March 15 after another night of attacks by Russian forces. Millions have fled and hundreds of civilians are confirmed to have been killed, though the actual number is likely higher. *Photographer: SOPA Images/LightRocket* In his speech to Congress <https://link.mail.bloombergbusiness.com/click/27051957.922182/aHR0cHM6Ly93d…>, Zelenskiy urged the U.S. to close its ports to all Russian goods and provide Ukraine with fighter jets, something western officials have rejected in part to avoid broader escalation by Moscow. After showing lawmakers a graphic video of Ukrainian casualties, including children injured and killed by Russian soldiers, Zelenskiy addressed Biden directly in English: “Being the leader of the world means to be the leader of peace.” Members of the Ukrainian military take part in tactical exercises near the western city of Lviv on March 16. *Photographer: Yuriy Dyachyshyn/AFP* Russian forces continue to strike infrastructure targets <https://link.mail.bloombergbusiness.com/click/27051957.922182/aHR0cHM6Ly93d…> on Wednesday while the overall military situation is largely unchanged, Ukraine said. Russia’s Defense Ministry said its forces are advancing through urban areas in the Luhansk region. After three weeks of war with no major cities captured, Putin’s forces continue to pound cities and residential areas already decimated by earlier strikes. In Moscow, Putin threatened to cleanse Russia of “scum and traitors <https://link.mail.bloombergbusiness.com/click/27051957.922182/aHR0cHM6Ly93d…>” he accuses of working covertly with western allies. With sanctions biting <https://link.mail.bloombergbusiness.com/click/27051957.922182/aHR0cHM6Ly93d…> and Putin’s war effort hampered by strong resistance, the Biden administration warned him against using weapons of mass destruction <https://link.mail.bloombergbusiness.com/click/27051957.922182/aHR0cHM6Ly93d…>, such as chemical and biological agents. Analysts worry though that the potential for nuclear conflict, while small, may become greater <https://link.mail.bloombergbusiness.com/click/27051957.922182/aHR0cHM6Ly93d…> as Moscow’s losses mount. *—David E.

379-Year-Old Algorithm Cracks RSA Crypto Keys

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022/03/researcher-uses-600-… "Cryptographic keys generated with older software now owned by technology company Rambus are weak enough to be broken instantly using commodity hardware, a researcher reported on Monday. This revelation is part of an investigation that also uncovered a handful of weak keys in the wild." "The software comes from a basic version of the SafeZone Crypto Libraries, which were developed by a company called Inside Secure and acquired by Rambus as part of its 2019 acquisition of Verimatrix, a Rambus representative said. That version was deprecated prior to the acquisition and is distinct from a FIPS-certified version that the company now sells under the Rambus FIPS Security Toolkit brand." Mind your Ps and Qs "Researcher Hanno Böck said that the vulnerable SafeZone library doesn't sufficiently randomize the two prime numbers it used to generate RSA keys. (These keys can be used to secure Web traffic, shells, and other online connections.) Instead, after the SafeZone tool selects one prime number, it chooses a prime in close proximity as the second one needed to form the key." "The problem is that both primes are too similar," Böck said in an interview. "So the difference between the two primes is really small." The SafeZone vulnerability is tracked as CVE-2022-26320."
