Michigan State Police investigating potential cyber breach at Detroit water plant
Michigan State Police and the Great Lakes Water Authority are investigating a potential breach of a monitoring and reporting system at one of the agency's water treatment facilities in Detroit. "At no time was water quality at the plant compromised," said GLWA in a statement issued Wednesday about the incident. The affected equipment is at the Northeast Water Treatment Plant on Eight Mile Road, which was previously part of the Detroit water system. The facility can handle about 300 million gallons a day, the GWLA website says. GLWA is a regional agency handling water and wastewater utilities for communities in southeast Michigan, primarily those in Wayne, Macomb and Oakland counties. The agency runs a total of five water treatment plant facilities and one wastewater treatment plant. Michigan State Police notified GWLA Sunday evening "of a potential attempt to breach a standalone monitoring/reporting system at its Northeast Water Treatment Plant, which is not connected to any water treatment processes or operations at the plant," the agency said. "Out of an abundance of caution, GLWA put additional security protocols in place for network traffic at the Northeast Water Treatment Plant." The investigation into the system's breach is continuing, and GLWA said it is working with "the appropriate state and federal law enforcement cyber units" on the case.

Jockey Will Gordon to face Victorian Racing Tribunal on racehorse ownership charge
Jockey Will Gordon will face the Victorian Racing Tribunal on racehorse ownership charges. Gordon breached Australian Rules of Racing with the purchase of a Doubtland filly in March on behalf of partner, licensed person and pre-trainer Taige Weir. Gordon registered as purchaser, successfully bid and paid the $20,050 required for the yearling. Weir, an aspiring trainer and daughter of Melbourne Cup-winning disqualified trainer Darren Weir, had limited finances at the time to complete the transaction, so Gordon agreed to foot the bill. Under AR 116, a jockey is not permitted to own, take a lease or have any interest in an unnamed or named racehorse. Gordon faced two charges – interest in a horse and the alternative, interest in a horse transaction. He pleaded guilty to the second charge at the earliest opportunity. Barrister Damian Sheales on behalf of Gordon submitted a 'no case to answer' application before the VRT in relation to Charge 1 – interest in horse. It is alleged Gordon had ownership of the Doubtland filly from March 4-25. His interest did not extend beyond March 25. The tribunal heard submissions Gordon only acted as the agent for Weir and never acquired ownership of the filly, or had an actual interest in it. 'We are of the view that those are factors that constitute the basis of an unanswerable Charge,' the VRT ruled. 'They could be summarised as being those involving Mr Gordon registering as a prospective purchaser, making the successful bid at the auction and paying for the horse. 'Of course, we are assessing such factors in the context of a 'no case to answer' dispute. The situation in relation to a full contest, with the stewards bearing the burden of proof, could well be different. 'In summary, Mr Gordon does have a case to answer on Charge 1.' Gordon will face a VRT hearing on a date to be fixed.

Walz eyes security changes to Minnesota Capitol after naked man accesses Senate chamber after hours
Gov. Tim Walz says security changes are coming after a naked man was caught inside the Minnesota Capitol in the middle of the night. The man was found in the Senate chamber Friday night and was taken to the hospital before he was released. He returned to the capitol grounds early Saturday morning and was taken into custody after he showed up at the Capitol complex a third time. "This is a serious situation and it's dangerous," said Walz. "And of course we are balancing against a very Minnesota tradition of open governance and walking through the door." Walz acknowledged that the breach — happening just over a month after the politically-motivated attacks of Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, along with Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette — have left lawmakers badly shaken. A tribute to Hortman, who died along with her husband in the attack, still frames the doorways to the House chamber. A locked gate marks the entrance to the Senate chamber. It's always locked when the Senate is not in session, and when it is, the gate is open and flanked by guards. Because the Senate hasn't been in session in weeks, it's not clear how the intruder gained access to that part of the building. House Speaker Lisa Demuth and Senate Majority Leader Mark Johnson expressed concern that the man was not arrested the first time. Criminal Defense Attorney Joe Tamburino says they are right to be upset. "So it's right for our state lawmakers to be worried about this because a couple of things fell through the cracks," Tamburino said. Visitors to the Capitol, like Todd Redmond, aren't sure what should be done. "It's the people's house. People's business is conducted. And I would like to see people still be able to get in and out of here because it belongs to all of us," said Redmond. The accused intruder was in Ramsey County Jail on Monday evening. He is being held on a Wisconsin warrant for failing to appear at a restitution hearing. Walz says a thorough investigation is underway, but added Minnesota does have a less secure Capitol than most states. Earlier this month, the top law enforcement official in Ramsey County urged lawmakers to consider additional security measures at the Capitol amid what he called "a troubling increase in the use of political violence, threats and intimidation."

U.S. nuclear and health agencies hit in Microsoft SharePoint breach
The National Institutes of Health and the federal agency responsible for securing the nation's nuclear weapons were among the victims in a global breach of Microsoft server software over the weekend, according to agency officials and other people familiar with the matter. The NIH breach, which has not been previously reported, involved at least one Microsoft SharePoint server system, said Andrew Nixon, a spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services, and its scope and severity are being investigated.
