Plus: Hive ransomware gang gets knocked offline, FBI confirms North Korea stole $100 million, and more.

, four of which helped scofflaws cash out $1.1 billion in 2022.

Billionaires like Elon Musk may have reason to celebrate. The flight-tracking platform ADS-B Exchange, which provided data for the @ElonJet account that tracked the Tesla and Twitter CEO’s private plane, has sold out..

But that’s not all. Each week we round up the stories we didn’t cover in-depth ourselves. Click on the headlines to read the full stories. And stay safe out there.As Russia’s catastrophic invasion of Ukraine has unfolded over the past year, the Kremlin has also tightened its repression of domestic and Russian-language media to quash anti-war dissent. The latest victim of that crackdown is, by some measures, the top independent Russian news website: Meduza.

While Meduza has long been based in Latvia to shield it from Russia’s media restrictions and retaliation, the new measure makes it a crime for anyone in Russia to work for the news outlet, speak to its journalists, post a link to its website, or even so much as “like” one of its social media posts. A first violation of those restrictions is a misdemeanor defense under Russian law, punishable by a fine, but repeated violations are a felony, with years in prison as a possible sentence.

While a prison term is perhaps unlikely for anyone not actively involved in the news organization’s work—–Meduza has warned Russians and anyone traveling to Russia to be careful to delete social media posts in which they link to or promote its content. Regardless of how the law is enforced, its chilling effects will no doubt be significant, and the draconian ban on Meduza represents another small step in Russia’s long, slow slide into totalitarianism.
