Charges dropped against Harvey, Illinois, Ald. Colby Chapman after removal from City Council meeting
Cook County prosecutors on Wednesday dropped charges against Harvey Ald. Colby Chapman, who was arrested and removed from a City Council meeting in April. Chapman had been charged with disorderly conduct and resisting a police officer after she was arrested at the April 28 Harvey City Council meeting. At her first court appearance on Wednesday, prosecutors dropped the charges. Mayor Christopher Clark accused Chapman of being repeatedly disruptive at that meeting, and kept asking about an issue that had already been addressed, leading him to ask the council members to vote on censure Chapman and remove her from the meeting. Chapman said the city had sold a senior's home for $2,000, and she wanted to know why. Video shot by a frequent critic of the mayor, and shared on Chapman's aldermanic Facebook page, shows Chapman refusing to be removed. An officer then came to gather her belongings, prompting Chapman to say: "Don't touch my stuff!" Then Chapman pushed the officer, and was led out by police. She tried to stay in the meeting by holding onto the door. Harvey Chief of Police Cameron Biddings said she was later placed in handcuffs off camera. Clark has accused Chapman of repeatedly grandstanding at council meetings, and said she was censured and asked to leave council meetings twice before. Chapman's mother also was arrested at the meeting, and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Charges against her also were dropped on Wednesday. The video above is from an earlier report.

More Than 2,800 North Face Accounts Compromised in Cyber Attack
This is why you shouldn't reuse passwords. Getty Outdoor apparel and equipment brand The North Face is notifying more than 2,800 of its online customers that their personal information was stolen in an April credential-stuffing attack on its website. That attack comes on the heels of recent cyber attacks on fellow retailers Victoria's Secret, Cartier, Adidas and Marks & Spencer. According to a notification filed with the state of Maine, North Face detected unusual activity on its site on April 23. An investigation revealed that an attacker had launched a "small-scale credential-stuffing attack" against the site. In that type of attack, cybercriminals attempt to use massive sets of previously exposed logins and passwords to access online accounts. If a customer has used the same login and password for the attacked site, their account could be at risk of compromise. According to the state of Maine notification, 2,861 North Face accounts were affected by the April attack. The company said it disabled the passwords for those accounts and customers will be required to set new ones when they log back in. Customers were also advised to set new passwords for any other account that they might have used the same password for. "We do not believe that the incident involved information that would require us to notify you of a data security breach under applicable law," North Face said in its customer-notification letter. "However, we are notifying you of the incident voluntarily, out of an abundance of caution." Gaining access to a customer account could give the attackers access to information including customer names, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses and shipping addresses, if those pieces of information were saved to a customer's account, along with shopping preferences and past-product purchases, North Face said. Credit and banking card information, including card numbers and expiration dates, were not exposed in the attack, the company said, because it doesn't store that kind of information on its site. Instead it uses a secure token that links a customer's account to a third-party payment processor. How to protect your personal data in case of a breach Set great passwords. All of your online passwords should be long, random and unique. In the case of the North Face breach, the customer accounts were compromised because the customers had used the same password for another account that was previously compromised. Yes, setting different, great passwords for all of your accounts can be a lot of work. If you need help, try a password manager. Always, always use two-factor authentication whenever possible. This protects your account with a second identifier like a biometric indicator or a push notification sent to your phone, making it a lot harder for an attacker to get in even if they have your password. Limit the data you store in online accounts. Sure, it's convenient to save your name, address and credit card information in your account for your favorite online store, but the more information you hand over, the more it's at risk for theft. Think about checking out as a guest and if you're done shopping with a particular retailer, think about deleting your account entirely. Change compromised passwords right away. It's no longer considered a best practice to change your passwords every 90 days or so. If you set a good one, you can largely leave it be. But if you do hear that it's been compromised don't dawdle in setting a new one. Be on guard for phishing attempts. The more information cybercriminals have about you, the better they can craft phishing attempts aimed at stealing your money or personal data. Artificial intelligence tools are making this easier than ever. All unsolicited emails, texts and social media ads and messages should be looked at with skepticism.
