One Dead, Dozens Injured After Car Slams Counter- Protesters at White Supremacist Rally in Charlottesville [Updating]Amid the chaos of a canceled “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia attended by white supremacists, neo- Nazis, and other members of the so- called alt- right on Saturday, a man who has now been arrested drove a car directly into other vehicles and a crowd of people protesting the march. According to the AP, at least one person died, and 2. The Washington Post identified the suspect as 2. James Alex Fields of Ohio, and wrote authorities have booked him “on suspicion of second- degree murder, malicious wounding, failure to stop for an accident involving a death, and hit and run.” He is being held without bail. Later in the evening, a police helicopter crashed, killing two other people in what authorities told the AP was a connected incident. The exact moment the car slammed into another car at high speed, sending protesters flying through the air, was captured on Rebelutionary_Z’s Periscope livestream (starting at around 7: 3. Another video from a different angle posted by Twitter user Brennan Gilmore, former chief of staff to gubernatorial candidate Tom Perriello, showed the vehicle driving down an entire street to ram the other car. It then backed out as people dove out of the way, dragging parts of another vehicle with it. According to the Outline’s Will Turton, at least two female protesters marching with the Democratic Socialists of America were hit by the car and injured.“Absolutely intentional,” a person at the scene told Turton. A packed street and a car comes speeding down, at least 4. ![]() ![]() The database recognizes 1,746,000 software titles and delivers updates for your software including minor upgrades. Update August 1. 3th, 1. Photos appear to show suspect James Alex Fields in formation with members of Vanguard America, a white supremacist group which the Anti- Defamation League writes has shifted towards a neo- Nazi ideology in recent years. One of the images depicts a man believed to be Fields holding a black shield and standing in formation with other supremacists.“Vanguard America is active online, particularly on Twitter, but is best known for posting white supremacist fliers at universities across the country throughout the 2. ADL wrote. “During the year, the ADL counted at least 3. VA fliers were posted on campus in Arkansas, California, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Oregon, Texas, Virginia and Washington.”According to the Toledo Blade, Fields’ mother Samantha Bloom said he had dropped off his cat at her apartment so he could attend an “alt- right” rally in Virginia, though she said she had tried to stay away from his political views. The New York Daily News reported Fields’ Facebook page was covered with imagery common among members of the alt- right set, “such as Hitler’s baby photo; a tourist shot of the Reichstag in Berlin; and a cartoon of Pepe the Frog, the anthropomorphic frog hijacked by right- wing groups.”Vanguard has denied Fields is affiliated with their organization. Update 9: 0. 9 p. Journalist Ken Schwencke tweeted that after repeated inquiries as to whether the president would denounce white supremacists, the only response from the White House was that “on background, the president condemns all acts of violence.”Update 8: 3. Authorities have identified a suspect, 2. James Alex Fields of Ohio. He is currently being held on suspicion of various crimes including “second- degree murder, malicious wounding, failure to stop for an accident involving a death, and hit and run,” per the Washington Post. Update 8: 1. 0 p. The president has finally acknowledged the victims of the car crash incident directly—in a tweet. Trump offered his condolences to the family of the woman killed by the collision, and in what appeared to be a stunning lack of sympathy, offered his “best regards” to the injured. Update 7: 0. 3 p. Authorities now say two people died in the helicopter crash near Charlottesville late Saturday afternoon, and that the deaths are connected to the Unite the Right rally, but have not said how. Trump seemingly confirmed the two who died were Virginia State Police officers, tweeting his “deepest condolences.” In earlier remarks on Saturday, Trump did not directly mention the victims of the car crash incident or denounce white supremacists specifically, but vaguely blamed “many sides” for contributing to the violence. Update 6: 4. 1 p. The organizer behind the Unite the Right rally, Jason Kessler, said in an interview that the driver of the vehicle “did the wrong thing” but also blamed law enforcement for the widespread chaos at the rally, according to the AP. A virtually unending stream of evidence on social media, however, showed white supremacists arrived at the rally today armed for a fight. Many carried improvised weapons and armor, and some charged into crowds of counter- protesters to start brawls. Numerous militiamen with long arms also arrived at the rally, and there were multiple reports white supremacists who fought with counter- protesters drew firearms on the crowd. Update 5: 4. 9 p. The Daily Progress, a Charlottesville- area newspaper, reported a Virginia State Police police helicopter in the area has crashed. It is unclear whether the incident has anything to do with police operations following Unite the Right, but neighbors told the paper the helicopter “hovered low over houses before going into nearby woods.”Update 4: 3. According to the AP, at least one person has now been confirmed dead as a result of the collision, while 2. The exact number of deaths and injuries remains in flux at this time, and this post will be updated. Update 4: 1. 9 p. In an interview with Gizmodo, white supremacist and alt- right organizer Richard Spencer distanced himself and the far- right movement from the perpetrator behind the wheel of the vehicle.“I don’t know what happened,” Spencer said. I absolutely reject that kind of aggression, I simply don’t know what happened.”“I’m just not gonna make a statement until I get the facts about it,” Spencer added. This was a wide open rally. I did not initiate this rally or organize it. I was invited to it.” He also clarified a photo widely circulating on Twitter of a man being arrested did not show him. Spencer said much of the violence in Charlottesville was the result of a heavy police presence that suppressed the event’s attendees and failed to prevent street clashes. I blame Mayor Signer,” Spencer said. Just a horrible person, I mean he’s a total creep. And then also the governor has to take some blame because he’s the person who declared the statement of emergency.”Asked if he had more understanding of what Black Lives Matter protesters had experienced at demonstrations, Spencer said it was an “interesting question.”“I don’t think the cops are out hunting blacks or anything like that, but I don’t think the cops themselves are to blame for this,” he added. The people to blame are the authorites involved.”Update 3: 5. In a rambling statement on the incident, President Donald Trump condemned the “egregious display of bigotry” in Charlottesville, but blamed the violence on “many sides.” He said the violence did not start under him or his predecessor Barack Obama, but had been going on for a long time. The president then promised the “swift restoration of law and order,” adding “No child should ever be afraid to go outside and play or be with their parents and have a good time.” He asked the public to “cherish our history,” but declined to mention the rally was over the removal of a Confederate monument. Trump also touted his administration’s record on job creation. Trump added his government was working to restore the “sacred bonds of loyalty” with citizens, but that the public needed to do the same. Trump repeatedly declined to answer questions on whether he denounced white nationalism, signed a bill, and left the stage. Update 3: 3. 5 p. Charlottesville Mayor Mike Signer has tweeted that at least one person was killed during the collision. Additionally, Vice reports a suspect has been arrested in relation to the incident. Update 3: 2. 5 p. The Associated Press and Getty have photos of the aftermath of the incident. A number of people seem to have been seriously wounded by the crash, while others appear to have minor injuries. Conflicting reports in the Post and the New York Times suggest the number of confirmed injured has risen to at least eight to 1. Congress Isn't Happy About the Equifax Breach. We knew it wouldn’t be long before Congress demanded action in response to the Equifax data breach—particularly since several of its members are among the 1. Americans who are pissed about having their Social Security numbers and other personal data exposed. Equifax announced the breach yesterday, and so far the company’s behavior has been an example of how not to respond to a data breach. The tool for consumers to check if their data was stolen doesn’t really work, Equifax is supposedly offering free credit monitoring but no one can sign up yet, and several of its executives mysteriously sold off stock before the breach was announced. In short, it’s a disaster—and lawmakers aren’t happy. Among those taking action, three Democrats on the House Energy and Commerce Committee didn’t waste any time on Friday digging into the company’s questionable response. In a letter Friday, US Representatives Frank Pallone, Jr., Diana De. Gette, and Jan Schakowsky tasked the Government Accountability Office (GAO) with evaluating whether Equifax’s reaction to the breach will in any way benefit the millions of Americans now at risk of financial fraud. After all, Equifax is itself a credit reporting agency; there’s plenty of irony to go around. Specifically, the lawmakers say they’re alarmed by GEO reports that suggest simply offering to monitor a breach victim’s credit is not the way to go. The entire purpose of offering this service, according to GAO’s findings, is to “avoid liability” while offering consumers “peace of mind.” After the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) was breached in 2. However, the GAO later found that this decision was not based on any actual analysis of whether or not the services were truly effective, the lawmakers said. While putting people’s minds at ease is certainly a service, it’s hardly a substitute for a genuine shield against identity theft. Simply compensating consumers whose data has been hacked with a year of monitoring is not going to be enough.”“Questions remain about whether purchasing and providing credit monitoring for customers is the optimal way to respond to data breaches,” the lawmakers wrote. In particular, we are concerned that the popular response may reflect factors unrelated to the actual protection of breach victims and reliance on these products after the breach may result in consumers being lulled into a false sense of security.”The Democrats have asked the GAO to take another swing at determining precisely what “post- breach solutions” would benefit victims of data theft—and not just those impacted by Equifax. The lawmakers would like to know, for instance, as do we all,“To what extent does the most effective solution vary by breach type, victim characteristics, demographics or other key factors?” They’ve also asked: “To what extent are the services offered determined by price?” and “To what extent are they determined by their level of protection?”“This incident shows how urgent the need is to find better ways to protect personal data,” Rep. Diana De. Gette, the ranking member on the House subcommittee on oversight and investigations, told Gizmodo. Clearly, as a country we need to craft new means to keep thieves and hackers from obtaining and using personal information. Simply compensating consumers whose data has been hacked with a year of monitoring is not going to be enough.”Should the GAO identify “effective post- breach solutions and obstacles that impede their use,” De. Gette and her colleagues have also asked for new recommendations on how both the federal government and the private sector can more widely leverage these solutions to the benefit of data breach victims. It’s difficult to assess whether Equifax’s offer will actually help anyone. Despite its lengthy press release, the company has revealed next to nothing about the breach and the types of data stolen—beyond saying as many as 1. The company didn’t disclose the breach for more than a month after detecting it, a decision which has drawn significant criticism. And the nature of the “website application vulnerability” supposedly responsible for the breach itself also remains unclear. The ambiguity with which the company has described the incident—they have referred to it as a “cybersecurity incident” and an “intrusion”—could indicate that a hacker, or hackers, went to painstaking lengths to steal its customer database. One would presume they intend to use it. But for all we know now, the company might’ve simply left the door wide open, its databases made accessible through some serious lapse in security to virtually anyone with a web browser and the right IP address. What can be weighed, however, is Equifax’s response after learning about the breach: Is the company doing everything it can to do right by its customers? Or is it acting solely in its own self- interest, taking only the steps necessary to reduce its own liability? So far, the outlook is not great. Offering to monitor the victims’ credit is the very definition of the least Equifax could do. It is a threat to our economic security.”But now there are other concerns: Troubling language has been discovered on the website Equifax set up to allow its customers to check to see if their personal information was exposed. Few who’ve signed up likely noticed the “arbitration clause” in the terms of service that restricts them from participating in any class- action lawsuits arising from the incident. Seriously, this is a thing.)The GAO evaluation is only one of several investigative measures being pushed by members of Congress.“It is a threat to our economic security,” Sen. Mark Warner tweeted. He floated several ideas for legislation to address cybersecurity nightmares like the Equifax breach, including notification standards for companies to tell consumers about hacks. It doesn’t look like Energy and Commerce is going to be the only committee trying to get answers from Equifax, either. Rep. Ted Lieu is calling for the House Judiciary Committee to hold a hearing on the breach. Lieu wants Equifax to testify, of course, but he wants their major competitors—Experian and Trans. Union—to come to the table, too. Each company, he said, should be required to explain how it is “taking proactive, defensive steps to prevent such breaches in the future.”On top of the investigative hearings, some members of Congress are already pushing for legislation that would create stricter regulation of credit reporting agencies. Sen. Brian Schatz announced that he plans to reintroduce legislation he drafted in 2. Gizmodo reached out to Equifax with a list of questions about the data breach Thursday afternoon. No one from company has responded so far, but we’ll update when and if they do. Update, 8: 0. 0pm: As a helpful reader pointed out below, Equifax has added language to a Q& A section on its website addressing the arbitration clause issue: The arbitration clause and class action wavier included in the Trusted. ID Premier Terms of Use applies to the free credit file monitoring and identity theft protection products, and not the cybersecurity incident.
