NoneAfter suffering a tough loss in Pittsburgh last week, the Baltimore Ravens head west to take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football. The two clubs are solidly entrenched in the AFC playoff picture, but a win Monday will go a long way toward helping to stay there with a head-to-head tiebreaker in hand. The electric Ravens offense was slowed some last week in an 18-16 loss to the Steelers, with Derrick Henry held to just 65 yards and Lamar Jackson having his worst passing day of the season. They may be able to get back on track against a Chargers defense that allowed 452 yards to the Bengals last week — much of that as part of a second-half comeback that fell just short. Los Angeles is looking to build off that close win, in which they blew a 21-point lead only to score a late touchdown and survive. Justin Herbert threw for 297 yards and two touchdowns last week, while rookie receiver Ladd McConkey had his second 100-yard game in the NFL and could figure to be a top target again this week. Star pass rusher Khalil Mack, who missed last week's game with a groin injury, was listed as questionable heading into Week 12. Also, with Jim Harbaugh back on an NFL sideline this year, he'll meet his brother John for the first time on opposing sidelines since the Ravens beat the 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII in 2013. 8:15 p.m. ET SoFi Stadium | Inglewood, Calif.

NORMAL, Ill. — In closing the 2024 season on a cloudy, cold Saturday afternoon, the UND football program was consistent right up to the bitter end. The Fighting Hawks consistently struggled to stop the run and consistently were unable to perform on the road. ADVERTISEMENT UND lost a fifth-straight game for the first time since 1986 with a 35-13 loss against No. 14 Illinois State at Hancock Stadium. The Fighting Hawks gave up at least 35 points for the fifth-straight game and finished the year 0-5 on the road. UND ends the year 5-7, finishing under .500 for the fourth time in Bubba Schweigert's 11 years as head coach. Schweigert signed a contract extension through the 2027 season this past offseason but a lengthy losing skid to close 2024 has produced a growing buzz of those questioning his job security. "There's two people that I have concern how they feel and that's our athletic director and the president of the university," Schweigert said when asked about his future after the game. "The other stuff is outside noise." Illinois State's Wenkers Wright ran for 118 yards and two touchdowns as the Redbirds piled up 420 yards of total offense. "We've got to tackle better," Schweigert said. "We know that's a fundamental that we have to get better at. We have to be more physical up front and fit the run better." The game's turning point came early in the third quarter. ADVERTISEMENT The Fighting Hawks trailed 14-10 at halftime and the defense forced a stop on Illinois State's opening drive of the second half. UND running back Sawyer Seidl took the next three carries. The young speedster busted off a run of 11 yards, then an 18-yard run in which the Hawks' offensive line helped push the pile in a scrum situation. Seidl entered another scrum situation on his next carry and UND's sideline was energized by the physical running game. As the scrum carried on, however, Illinois State was able to rip a fumble away from Seidl at the last moment. Nine plays later, Wright scored from 18 yards out to extend the Illinois State lead to 21-10. "I didn't see it but it went to review and they confirmed it," Schweigert said. "We had three, four physical plays in a row. Sawyer was running hard, and it was unfortunate he lost the ball." UND was limited to 266 yards of total offense as quarterback Simon Romfo was 11-for-26 for 135 yards. "We left a lot of plays out there," said UND wide receiver Bo Belquist, who had three catches for 42 yards. "I thought our offensive line and running backs were super physical and did a great job. We got stuck on a couple of drives, and you can't do that against good teams and that's why they're in the playoffs." ADVERTISEMENT Belquist finishes his decorated career one touchdown shy of Greg Hardin's Division I school record for touchdown catches (31). "Not the way you want to end (your career)," Belquist said. "It wasn't my greatest performance out there but it's over and it is what it is. You have to move on and embrace the memories you made over the years and the relationships you created. Life goes on."Hicks 6-9 1-1 16, Konan Niederhauser 4-6 4-7 12, Baldwin 2-8 8-8 12, Dilione 3-6 0-2 6, P.Johnson 5-8 3-4 15, Kern 9-12 2-5 20, Nzeh 1-2 1-1 3, Dunn 0-4 0-0 0, Carter 0-2 0-2 0, Stewart 0-0 1-2 1.

Ransomware attacks often now target backup data directly, experts warn Zero Trust principles are key to data protection 59% of organizations experienced ransomware attacks in 2023 Ransomware attacks have increasingly become a top concern for businesses worldwide, targeting organizations of all sizes and industries. Recent research by Object First has highlighted key vulnerabilities and the growing importance of modern backup technologies in combating ransomware threats. The survey revealed many businesses are still using outdated technologies that leave their backup data vulnerable to attack, suggesting they are not yet adequately prepared to fend off modern ransomware attacks. The state of backup security Backup data is becoming a prime target for cybercriminals, therefore organizations need to rethink their backup security practices to adopt more resilient, ransomware-proof solutions. The report revealed while over a third (34%) of respondents pointed to outdated backup systems as a major weakness, making them easier targets for ransomware attackers, 31% cited a lack of backup data encryption , which prevents sensitive data from being securely stored and transferred. In addition, failed data backups were identified by 28% of respondents as another key vulnerability. These failures leave organizations unable to restore their systems after an attack, often resulting in lengthy downtimes and expensive recovery processes. More troubling is the finding that ransomware attacks are increasingly targeting backup data directly. Normally, backups are considered a last line of defense in the event of an attack. However, with attackers now focusing on compromising this data, simply having backups is no longer enough. This shift has led to a growing need for immutable storage backup systems designed to ensure data cannot be altered or deleted by ransomware once it is stored. Are you a pro? Subscribe to our newsletter Sign up to the TechRadar Pro newsletter to get all the top news, opinion, features and guidance your business needs to succeed! An overwhelming 93% of survey respondents agreed that immutable storage is essential for protecting against ransomware attacks, while 84% of IT workers highlighted that they need better backup security to meet regulatory compliance. This need for enhanced security is further evidenced by the fact that 97% of respondents plan to invest in immutable storage solutions as part of their cybersecurity strategy. Immutable storage is built on Zero Trust principles, a security model that assumes no user or system is inherently trustworthy. This approach focuses on continuously validating every access request and limiting permissions to minimize the risk of unauthorized access. The Object First survey found that 93% of IT professionals believe aligning their backup systems with Zero Trust principles is key to safeguarding their data from ransomware. Zero Trust architecture ensures that even if cybercriminals gain access to a system, they are limited in their ability to manipulate or delete critical data. While the need for enhanced security is clear, the survey also revealed that managing backup storage systems remains a challenge for many organizations. Nearly 41% of IT professionals stated that they lack the skills necessary to manage complex backup solutions, and 69% reported that budget constraints prevent them from hiring additional security experts. “Our research shows that almost half of organizations suffered attacks that targeted their backup data, highlighting the criticality of adopting backup storage solutions that are ransomware-proof,” said Andrew Wittman, Chief Marketing Officer at Object First.

Singapore’s largest port operator PSA handled more than 40 million shipping containers, or twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), in 2024, a record-breaking feat that it has called a “significant milestone”. This means that in 2024, Singapore’s port – consisting of terminals operated by both PSA and Jurong Port – surpassed the 2023 record of 39.01 million TEUs, said Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat in a Facebook post on Dec 27. Mr Chee added that the port is also on track to achieving a new record for total cargo throughput and bunker sales in 2024. PSA’s previous record of 38.8 million TEUs was set in 2023. In his post, Mr Chee credited the strong tripartite partnership and pro-business approach in the maritime sector for this latest achievement. He said: “My colleagues and I will press on with our efforts to continue growing our maritime industry in 2025 and beyond, to attract more investments, facilitate more business expansions and create more good jobs for our people.” PSA said in a statement on Dec 27 that this record reinforces the port’s status as an important gateway that connects Singapore’s economy to the global marketplace. Mr Ong Kim Pong, group chief executive of PSA International, described this record throughput for Singapore’s port, the world’s largest transshipment hub, as a “remarkable milestone”. He added that the operator will work towards strengthening the links between its port operations and other port-related services, to create a more unified port ecosystem. “We remain dedicated to integrating advanced technology with our operational expertise, while working to reinforce our role as a reliable global port operator and a trusted partner for cargo stakeholders,” said Mr Ong. In October, PSA started construction work on a new $647.5 million Tuas warehousing facility equipped with advanced robotics and automation systems. Set to be completed in the second quarter of 2027, this new PSA supply chain hub will span more than 185,000 sq m and will be located within Singapore’s new mega port in Tuas. With facilities to handle dangerous goods and those that require cold storage, such as pharmaceuticals and chemicals that require special handling, the new hub will improve Singapore’s ability to handle cargo shipments. Tuas Port, which is being developed in four phases, will be able to handle 65 million TEUs when fully operational in the 2040s, making it the world’s largest automated port. As at October, 10 of its 66 container berths are in operation, with one more berth expected to begin operations by end-2024. By 2027, operations at Tanjong Pagar, Keppel, and Brani terminals will be shifted to the $20 billion mega port. Meanwhile, the Pasir Panjang terminal will remain open until its operations are consolidated in Tuas by the 2040s. Mr Nelson Quek, regional CEO of South-east Asia at PSA International, said that the operator will continue working closely with the public and private sectors to deliver new capabilities that will strengthen Singapore’s roles as a critical global trade node and leading international maritime hub. The latest record means Singapore remains one of the busiest ports in the world. The port of Shanghai continues to occupy the top spot, setting a record in 2024 for being the first port in the world to handle more than 50 million TEUs annually. Source: The Straits Times
