Commandments thou shalt not kill11/25/2023 The Torah and Hebrew Bible made clear distinctions between the shedding of innocent blood and killing as the due consequence of a crime. Justified killing: due consequence for crime The Torah also instructs that homicidal animals were also to be stoned to death and the carcass reviled. The owner of a bull who was known to have a habit of goring could be put to death if he failed to keep the animal confined and the bull gored a man or woman to death. A man who failed to build a parapet or railing around the roof of his house would incur bloodguilt if someone fell and died. ![]() Responsibility for bloodguilt also extended to areas of gross negligence. So you will purge from yourselves the guilt of shedding innocent blood, since you have done what is right in the eyes of the LORD. Accept this atonement for your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, O LORD, and do not hold your people guilty of the blood of an innocent man." And the bloodshed will be atoned for. Then all the elders of the town nearest the body shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley, and they shall declare: "Our hands did not shed this blood, nor did our eyes see it done. If a dead body was found lying in a field, the elders and judges were to carefully determine the distance to the closest town, and the elders of the nearest town were to break a heifer’s neck in a prescribed manner and location. The understanding of bloodguilt also required a procedure to make atonement for unsolved murder. The Torah had the expectation that capital crimes would be investigated thoroughly, and moral guilt was attached to failure to investigate crimes thoroughly or failure to give testimony when a call was made for witnesses. Carrying out the death penalty required the testimony of multiple witnesses putting someone to death on the testimony of a single witness was strictly prohibited. In contrast, if the killing was accidental, the accused person was permitted to flee to a city of refuge where he would be safe from the avenger of blood. The avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death when he meets him. If anyone with malice aforethought shoves another or throws something at him intentionally so that he dies or if in hostility he hits him with his fist so that he dies, that person shall be put to death he is a murderer. The avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death when he meets him, he shall put him to death. Or if anyone has a wooden object in his hand that could kill, and he hits someone so that he dies, he is a murderer the murderer shall be put to death. Or if anyone has a stone in his hand that could kill, and he strikes someone so that he dies, he is a murderer the murderer shall be put to death. If a man strikes someone with an iron object so that he dies, he is a murderer the murderer shall be put to death. The Torah portrays murder as a capital crime and describes a number of details in the moral understanding and legal implementation of consequences. In the Talmud, Genesis 9:5 is interpreted as a prohibition against killing oneself, and Genesis 9:6 is “cited in support for the prohibition of abortion.” Ancient understanding and legal implementation Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image. The Genesis narrative also portrays the prohibition of shedding innocent blood as an important aspect of God’s covenant with Noah. And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to me from the ground. The ancient understanding of guilt that is incurred from the shedding of innocent blood is seen in the Genesis narrative, in which Cain killed his brother Abel out of anger, and the LORD cursed Cain for shedding his brother’s blood.

Apple security breach june 202111/24/2023 It happened through their network, not through Apple devices or services. The vulnerability and its exploitation are completely in the hands of AT&T. Scraping data from LinkedIn is a violation of our Terms of Service and we are constantly working to ensure our members’ privacy is protected. In 2010 june, a brute force attack has been done by hackers stalking the email addresses of 114,000 iPad users in AT&T’s phone network. This was not a LinkedIn data breach and our investigation has determined that no private LinkedIn member data was exposed. While we’re still investigating this issue, our initial analysis indicates that the dataset includes information scraped from LinkedIn as well as information obtained from other sources. PrivacyShark notes that the company has issued a similar statement this time: With the previous breach, LinkedIn did confirm that the 500M records included data obtained from its servers, but claimed that more than one source was used. No passwords are included, but as the site notes, this is still valuable data that can be used for identity theft and convincing-looking phishing attempts that can themselves be used to obtain login credentials for LinkedIn and other sites. He claims the data was obtained by exploiting the LinkedIn API to harvest information that people upload to the site. We reached out directly to the user who is posting the data up for sale on the hacking forum. Additionally, the data does appear to be up to date, with samples from 2020 to 2021. ![]() Other social media accounts and usernamesīased on our analysis and cross-checking data from the sample with other publicly available information, it appears all data is authentic and tied to real users. Personal and professional experience/background We examined the sample and found it to contain the following information: The user of the forum posted up a sample of the data that includes 1 million LinkedIn users. On June 22nd, a user of a popular hacker advertised data from 700 Million LinkedIn users for sale. RestorePrivacy reports that the hacker appears to have misused the official LinkedIn API to download the data, the same method used in a similar breach back in April. The hacker who obtained the data has posted a sample of 1M records, and checks confirm that the data is both genuine and up-to-date … The database is for sale on the dark web, with records including phone numbers, physical addresses, geolocation data, and inferred salaries. Update: PrivacyShark appears to have been the first to report this, and has now obtained a statement from LinkedIn, below.Ī second massive LinkedIn breach reportedly exposes the data of 700M users, which is more than 92% of the total 756M users. |
