Katie Leung appears to be reacting to JK Rowling’s transphobic tweets
Harry Potter star Katie Leung says she was directed by publicists to deny the existence of hate websites about her after she was cast as Cho Chang on the hit series.
The 33-year-old Scottish-born actress of Chinese descent commented on the Chinese Chippy Girl podcast on Monday March 8th.
Katie made her debut as Cho, Harry Potter’s love interest, in the fourth film in the hit franchise, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, released in 2005. After her casting was leaked by British tabloids a year earlier, they hate posts about the then 16-year-old actress being posted on Harry Potter fan sites, and an entire website has even been created condemning her casting.
“I thought I Googled at some point and was on this website that was devoted to some kind of Harry Potter fandom, and I remember reading all of the comments. It was a lot of racist stuff,” Leung said on the podcast . “And then someone actually created a website, a hate website – it was like you disagreed with this casting, then hit that button and then it would just be a count of how many people disagree with the casting and you’d just look at a number … I know it’s awful. It’s so awful. “
A handful of malware-filled Android apps were again removed from the Google Play Store, and all took advantage of the latest trend in malware design: disguising themselves as innocent clones of useful apps to avoid initial detection by Google, and turning them into crappy ones Malware as soon as people start downloading and using it.
The good news? The apps in question didn’t seem to have many downloads. At best, thousands instead of millions, so the chances are pretty high that you haven’t heard of any of the affected apps. Whoever was responsible for the attack set them all up under different developers so there is no common ground to look for.
Aside from the app names, which we’ll list in a second, the only other common characteristic is that the attacker used the same developer email for each app – “sbarkas77590@gmail.com” – and all apps on link to the same data protection page online (“https://gohhas.github.io”, followed by the name of the app).
If you still have any of these apps installed on your Android, it’s time to drop it:
Cake VPN
Pacific VPN
eVPN
BeatPlayer
QR / barcode scanner MAX
Music player
tooltipnatorlibrary
QRecorder
You cannot search for the name of the developer of an app, contact information or privacy policy directly on your smartphone. However, you can tap on it to see if that app is still on the Google Play Store at all. It’s as easy as it gets on my Pixel Settings> Apps & notifications> Show all [number] Apps> [app name] > Advanced> App Details. This will take you to Google’s online list for the app. If it doesn’t exist and the app has the same name as one of the just listed, you have malware installed.

How this malware works Check Point Research has a great summary:
Check Point Research (CPR) recently discovered a new dropper that is spreading through the official Google Play Store, downloading and installing AlienBot Banker and MRAT.
This dropper, named Clast82, uses a number of techniques to avoid detection by Google Play Protect, successfully completes the evaluation period, and changes the payload dropped by a non-malicious payload to AlienBot Banker and MRAT.
The AlienBot family of malware is a Mala-as-a-Service (MaaS) for Android devices that an attacker can use to insert malicious code into legitimate financial applications as a first step. The attacker gains access to the victims’ accounts and ultimately controls their device completely. If the attacker takes control of a device, they can control certain functions as if they were physically holding the device, e.g. B. install a new application on the device or even control it with TeamViewer.
While the chances are slim, if you have one of these seedy apps installed on your device, I recommend grabbing Malwarebytes and giving yourself a good one (free) to scan. Meanwhile, change the password for all financial accounts related to apps that you have installed on your Android. If Malwarebytes can’t find anything on your device, you have two options: make yourself comfortable and hope for the best, or be extra security conscious and factory reset your device by reinstalling everything from scratch.
I’m not sure which option I would go with and I couldn’t find a lot of information on how to remove AlienBot or MRAT. You can install one or two other scanning apps to see if they’re picking up something (F-Secure, or also Avast), and if everyone agreed that nothing was wrong, you could allow it – after confirming the above three times Apps & Notifications screen> Special app access that there weren’t any oddly named apps that had administrative privileges on your device.

WASHINGTON – For the first time since President Joe Biden took office, senior US officials will hold high-level face-to-face meetings with Chinese officials in Alaska next week.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan will meet with Central Commission Foreign Affairs Director of the People’s Republic of China, Yang Jiechi, and State Councilor Wang Yi on March 18 in Anchorage, Alaska.
“The meeting will take place after Secretary Blinken’s meetings with two of our closest regional allies in Tokyo and Seoul,” the State Department wrote in a statement on Wednesday. Blinken is expected to go on his first trip abroad as Foreign Minister next week.
Tensions between Beijing and Washington increased under the Trump administration, which escalated a trade war and prevented Chinese tech companies from doing business in the US.
Over the past four years, the Trump administration blamed China for a variety of abuses, including intellectual property theft, unfair trade practices and, most recently, the coronavirus pandemic.
Biden previously said that his approach to China would differ from that of his predecessor in that he would work more closely with allies to achieve a backlash against Beijing.
“We will face China’s economic abuse,” said Biden in a speech at the State Department, describing Beijing as America’s “most serious competitor.”
“But we are also ready to work with Beijing if it is in the US interest. We will compete from a position of strength by improving at home and working with our allies and partners.”
Last month, Biden announced a new Department of Defense task force to assess the US military’s China strategy.
“This is how we will meet the China challenge and ensure that the American people will win the competition in the future,” said Biden on his first visit as the Pentagon in chief.

Few people can be chic all their lives, just ask Victoria Beckham.
On Tuesday March 9th, the fashion designer picked up her Instagram story to give Kim Kardashian the genteel approval. Victoria shared a look back at the beauty mogul from her school days.
Pictured in the photo is the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star rocking a Posh Spice-inspired outfit while others dress up around her Baby spice, Creepy spice, Sporty spice and ginger.
Victoria has titled the photo “The perfect Posh! @Kimkardashian” next to the emoji with the hand making the peace sign.
When Kim first shared the epic picture on Thanksgiving Day 2015, she declared her love for the 90s girl group.
“I’m so grateful that me and my friends were the Spice Girls for our high school talent show!” Kim wrote. “The Spice Girls got me through a lot! #ForeverThankful. “
She even gave Victoria a special greeting on another social media photo at the time, writing, “I’m grateful for Posh Spice too! #HighSchoolTalentShow.” To which the Briton said: “Genius! X vb.”
The Design, Build and Sell Scheme (DBSS) is controversial to this day. Depending on who you ask, DBSS flats were either great, or a wasteful form of housing (in terms of expense). Whatever the opinion, one thing is clear: there are people willing to pay for DBSS flats. Just in February 2021, for example, one DBSS unit in Bishan managed to fetch a price of $1.21 million.
If you’re pondering whether to buy a DBSS flat, or aren’t sure what this is about, here’s what you need to know:
What is a DBSS flat?
The Design, Build and Sell Scheme (DBSS) was active between 2006 to 2011. A DBSS flat is built by private developers, much like a condo unit. However, it is not the same as an Executive Condominium (EC).
DBSS flats do not have full suite condo facilities, such as pools, gyms, etc. as ECs do. It is simply that the unit interiors have a higher quality of finishing, and are more varied than the standardised HDB floor plans. For example, some 5-room DBSS flats consist of four bedrooms as well as the living room (for most HDB flats, a 5-room unit has three bedrooms, a living room, and a study).
In terms of pure size however, DBSS flats are comparable to HDB standards, averaging 103 sqm (1,109 sqft). To our knowledge, Natura Loft and Park Central has some of the largest units among all DBSS developments, with 5-room flats reaching 120 sqm (1,292 sqft).
It is sometimes alleged that DBSS flats have less actual living space. This refers to how they may have the same square footage as an equivalent sized HDB flat, but additional space gets used up for features like a large balcony ( Trivelis is one).
Another key factor is that, unlike ECs, DBSS flats will never be fully privatised. They remain HDB properties until the very end, which means there will always be a Minimum Occupation Period (MOP), eligibility requirements (no selling to foreigners and entities), ethnic quotas, etc.
The first DBSS project in Singapore was The Premiere in Tampines, which was launched in 2006 and received its TOP in 2008. The last DBSS project sold was Pasir Ris One, which was launched in 2012* and completed in 2015.
*Land sales for DBSS development were already suspended in 2011, around a year before the launch of Pasir Ris One; this is why we state the scheme lasted till 2011.
The DBSS controversy: Should it matter to buyers today?
The DBSS flats suffered from two major issues in their day: workmanship and pricing.
Workmanship issues are the most relevant to buyers, even today. Unfortunately, some DBSS developments were afflicted by complaints.
Pasir Ris One received around 500 complaints after key collection, due to multiple such as narrow corridors, and master bedrooms that were too small for king-size beds. Trivelis, in Clementi, saw complaints of shattering shower screens, and shoddy flooring. Centrale 8, which is widely accused of ending DBSS flats due to their pricing, saw residents asking for an extension of warranty.
It’s uncertain why DBSS developments saw so many issues – after all the Executive Condominium (EC) scheme, which goes back to 1999 and is still going – seldom runs into similar problems.
[[nid:504873]]
One theory from market watchers is the way DBSS flats were sold: with ECs, developers are tasked with handling the full extent of marketing. This means setting up show flats, getting agents to convince people to buy, being probed by all sorts of questions, etc. The developers’ brand name is also more upfront, with regard to EC development.
DBSS flats, on the other hand, were sold through HDB; so a high volume of sales was all but assured. This could have led to developers being less than fastidious. In fact when buyers were unhappy about their DBSS flats, they often held HDB responsible. Some were shocked to discover that they would have to deal with the private developer , and not HDB, regarding the defects in their new home (although in some cases, town councils and related authorities did step in to mediate).
To be precise, note that DBSS flats are built by private developers, but managed by HDB.
This was bad enough, but the next major contributor was DBSS pricing – there was no control from HDB over the pricing.
In June of 2011, Centrale 8 dropped its prices; from an average of $880,000 for 5-room flats, to just $778,000. This was after public outrage over the pricing.
For reference, the average quantum of a 5-room resale flat in Tampines, in 2011, was $509,365. The average price of a resale EC in the same district, in the same year, was $820,308.
By this point, even some market analysts were calling out the pricing issue. It made very little sense that DBSS flats would cost as much as ECs. There were also worries that, once all the DBSS flats reached their MOP, their higher resale prices would impact housing affordability; a prediction that has come to pass, given the number of million-dollar DBSS flats we’ve seen.
Shortly after the Centrale 8 incident, MND withdrew a site in Sengkang that was slated for DBSS development. Soon after, the government announced that the scheme was suspended.
Where are all the DBSS flats today, and how much do they cost?
There are a few key considerations to bear in mind:
Some of the complaints involved issues that can’t be fixed
MOP restrictions, and lack of full privatisation
The “million-dollar flats” may be more about location than DBSS status
There is scarcity value to DBSS flats
1. Some of the complaints involves issues that can’t be fixed
As we mentioned above, some DBSS developments incurred complaints. Issues involving the unit interior, such as shoddy flooring, rusty dish rags, shattered bathroom screens, etc. are not major problems – these can be fixed, and most resale flat buyers will renovate anyway.
However, certain issues such as the narrow corridors in Pasir Ris One or Trivelis can never be “fixed”. This means that certain issues – such as quickly-flooded common corridors, or leaks from badly designed plumbing – are going to be facts you have to live with as long as you stay there.
We’d be extra careful with inspecting the units in question. Remember that not all developments with issues made it into the wider news. Alternatively, tell us about the unit and we may be able to help.
2. MOP restrictions, and lack of full privatisation
If you were to buy a resale EC instead of a DBSS unit, there would be no MOP. This means a resale EC could be rented out in whole from the moment of purchase, unlike a DBSS flat. This is definitely a factor to consider, if you have the option of living with parents, etc. while renting out your whole flat.
In addition, a key difference between ECs and the older HUDC estates is that they get privatised at some point. This is important because it removes eligibility restrictions on future buyers (i.e., foreigners and entities).
For many investors, full privatisation is especially important for 99-year leasehold properties: it creates the potential for collective sale to private developers. While an en-bloc is never guaranteed, the chances tend to be higher compared to the government’s Selective En-Bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS). At present, only around four to five per cent of HDB estates will qualify for SERS.
Some buyers have also raised the issue of future financing options. Cash-out refinancing , for instance, could eventually be done for a fully-privatised EC (provided the borrower meets the usual eligibility requirements). But this can never be done for a DBSS flat.
3. The “million-dollar flats” may be more about location than DBSS status
Many million-dollar resale flats are DBSS units. However, an argument could be made that this is more related to their location, than their status as DBSS units.
For example, the current record holder is Natura Loft, which has a unit that sold for $1.2 million. But Natura Loft is located along Bishan Street 24, which is just around one kilometre from Bishan MRT station and Junction 8; the hub of a desirable city fringe area.
The next record holder, which was only around $3,000 lower, came from City View. This development is along Boon Keng Road, which is 350 metres, or a four-minute walk, to Boon Keng MRT station. It’s a seven to eight -minute drive from this location to Novena or Orchard.
If you look at the list above, you can see most DBSS developments fall far short of averaging $1 million.
As such, gains are derived more from the location than the flat’s DBSS status; and regular resale flats nearby could have comparable prospects.
4. There is scarcity value to DBSS flats
DBSS flats do stand out in terms of their interior. The inclusion of floor-to-ceiling picture windows, bay windows, large balconies, etc. are features you won’t find in most other HDB flats. Belvia, for instance, has units with three bathrooms – not a feature you’ll find in any other HDB flat. Trivelis for one has keycard entry access for more privacy.
Also, given there were only 13 DBSS developments, these flat types are scarce. That alone can help to differentiate it among the many HDB flats.
Ultimately, we think it’s unlikely that the DBSS scheme will ever be resurrected, given that the current balance between HDB, EC, and private homes is working well for the market.
To be direct, DBSS flats are more for genuine home owners than for investment
DBSS flats are expensive for what they bring; that’s one of the main reasons they were discontinued to begin with.
These units are in a bizarre place investment-wise: they’re much more expensive than regular flats, but without the common facilities of a condo, and lower collective sale prospects toward end-of-lease. This limits the upside potential, with prospective buyers often questioning why they wouldn’t buy, say, a resale EC instead.

As to the better-quality finishing, balconies, different layouts, etc., there’s no precise way to put a dollar value on any of this. Some buyers may consider a balcony or third bathroom worth paying for; others may see it as a waste of living space.
As such, DBSS flats are worth considering from the perspective of a pure owner-occupier. You may have views or unique features that no other flat can deliver; but the higher price point, coupled with existing alternatives like ECs, leave limited room for appreciation.
Credit reporting errors are a chronic problem made worse by the pandemic, and complaints about credit reporting errors are at an all-time high –plus 86% during the last year. To protect yourself, check your credit reports every three months – especially if you’re planning on applying for credit or funding a large purchase.
What’s happening?
Simply put, the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) serve the interests of banks and other lenders, not the individual consumer. Because of this, credit reporting errors were already a problem, as Aaron Klein, Policy Director at Brookings Institution, explains to Consumer Reports:
“Credit bureaus are paid by banks and credit providers to produce reports. Hence, their incentive is to create large amounts of data quickly. Making the reports more accurate would be expensive and time consuming, although it would benefit consumers. “
Unfortunately, the pandemic has only made the problem worse Mortgage Loans and Forbearance Confusion on Student Loans caused even more credit report errors.
To make matters worse, these errors are not easy to fix, and trying to do so can take a lot of arguments with a particular agency. That’s a problem President Biden wants to fix it by redesigning the credit agencies to be a more transparent, public directory maintained by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

How unfixed bugs can hurt you
Mistakes can lower your credit score, which in turn limits your ability to qualify for financing or loans, especially those that offer reasonable interest rates. Common mistakes include repaid loans that appear unpaid, incorrect personal information, and debts that have been mistakenly reported as in collections.
And, as mentioned earlier, some lenders recently reported federal government-backed mortgage and student borrowers as criminals despite the moratorium on payments created by various COVID relief plans. For these reasons, you should always be more vigilant and check your credit reports regularly.
How can I check my credit report?
You can request free credit reports from any of the three credit bureaus annualcreditreport.com (You normally only get one free report per year, but a special provision related to pandemics allows you to get this free every week until the end of April 2022.)
You will be asked some financial questions to verify your identity. Therefore, you want to have your financial records to hand at all times. When you receive the report, go through it line by line. Look for mistakes and see if they contain accurate personal information, as simple typos are surprisingly common.
How can I deny a mistake?
The best way to avoid making more mistakes is to write a letter about the discrepancy to the appropriate office, preferably by registered mail, and request a return confirmation. (The CFIB has letter templates that you can use. Here). Make sure you include copies of any documents supporting your complaint, such as a letter or letter. B. Receipts or payment records. Typically, credit bureaus have 30 to 45 days to respond to complaints, but this, too, has dragged on with the pandemic.
How often should I check my credit reports?
Since you can check your credit score every week for free without affecting your credit score, it is a good idea to do so on a regular basis. At least you should do this once a year. It is oftenrecommended to check your creditworthiness quarterly, if not monthly – especially if you plan to apply for funding or a loan in 2021.
Here are the top news, trends, and analysis investors need to get their trading day started:
1. Nasdaq will take a breather on Tuesday after rising nearly 3.7%

Stocks were targeted for a mixed open Wednesday, the day after the battered tech stocks roared back, pushing the Nasdaq up nearly 3.7% on its best day since November. Falling bond yields supported Tuesday’s rally that spanned the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500. However, the 10-year government bond yield rose higher on Wednesday, keeping gains on Dow and S&P 500 futures under pressure and putting pressure on Nasdaq futures. Traders will be investigating the government’s release of the consumer price index in February at 8:30 a.m. (CET) to identify signs of problematic inflation and how it may affect bond yields.
2. In the tech rally, Tesla rose nearly 20%. Apple, Facebook rose

Tech stocks took a breather in the pre-market after Apple and Facebook rose more than 4% each. Tesla on Wednesday contributed to its 19.6% surge in its previous session, breaking a five-day losing streak and wiping out almost all losses along the stretch. Elon Musk’s electric car maker, which is up more than 450% in the past 12 months, still fell 25% from its all-time high of $ 900 per share in late January.

General Electric announced on Wednesday that it will sell its $ 30 billion jet leasing business to AerCap. This would create a massive lessor as the aviation industry grapples with the Covid-19 pandemic and GE tries to reduce its debt burden. GE shares rose slightly in premarket trading after the deal was announced, while AerCap shares rose more than 4%. Citing “significant changes in recent years,” GE also said its board will recommend that shareholders approve an 8-way reverse stock split.

Eli Lilly said Wednesday that his Covid antibody therapy reduced the risk of hospitalizations and death by 87% in a study of more than 750 high-risk coronavirus patients. It is the second large, late-stage study to show that combination treatment is effective in treating mild to moderate cases of illness. US regulators approved Lilly therapy in February for emergencies in Covid patients 12 years and older at high risk of serious complications.

Russia has announced that it will impose restrictions on the social media platform Twitter for not removing illegal content from its platform.
The Federal Service for Communications, Information Technology and Mass Communication, also known as Roskomnadzor, announced on Wednesday that it was slowing the speed of Twitter.
The communications guard said he was taking measures to ensure the safety of Russian citizens and could completely block the service if Twitter does not respond appropriately.
Twitter did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment.
According to Roskomnadzor, speeds will be reduced on all mobile devices and 50% of all non-mobile devices such as computers, it said in a statement on its website.
Roskomnadzor accused Twitter of not removing content that encourages minors to commit suicide, as well as child pornography and drug use.
The regulator asked Twitter to remove links and posts more than 28,000 times between 2017 and March 2021. Other social networks have been more cooperative than Twitter to remove content that encourages minors to commit suicide.
Russia’s move to curb Twitter follows similar actions by governments in Turkey and India, which have also threatened jail sentences for platform managers.
Matt Navara, a social media advisor, told CNBC that the “threat of restricting, blocking, or banning social media platforms appears to be a growing trend for countries notorious for tougher, less democratic regimes” .
Social media platforms are in a constant battle to keep inappropriate content off their platforms. Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, and Twitter all use a combination of software and human content moderators to monitor what’s being shared on their platforms, but none of them have really mastered content moderation.
One of the most notorious examples of recent times was the Christchurch shooter who broadcast his mass murder live on Facebook and other platforms. The video was quickly cloned and re-shared by other users, faster than the content moderators could remove, and it remained on Facebook for a few weeks after the attack.
Brandi Glanville I couldn’t resist talking a little about the college admissions scandal while partying my son mason‘s great achievement.
The 48-year-old reality TV mainstay went on Twitter on Tuesday March 9 to announce the 17-year-old she is sharing with her ex-husband Eddie Cibriansuccessfully graduated from college. She and Eddie also share a 13-year-old son Jake.
In her tweet, Brandi joked about the 2019 varsity blues scandal that accused parents of falsifying test scores and bribing athletic coaches and test monitors to improve their children’s chances of getting into universities like the University of Southern California.
“Amazing news that my baby was admitted to the University of Southern California and I didn’t even have to fake rowing pictures or bribe anyone,” wrote the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum.
The star later tweeted to clarify that Mason was not inducted into USC, but into a school in Southern California that she refused to identify.
“I made a joke about the rowing team and bribes because my baby did everything by herself and I’m proud of him [prayer-hands emoji]”Explained Brandi.” However, if my tweet was proofread, it was accepted into a university in Southern California. Will share school at a later date. Sorry 4 the confusion #ProudMom. ”
