Synopsis - CIKR Sectors
May 14, XETV 6 San Diego(California) Refinery problems continue to hurt California's gas supply.
Refinery problems continued to choke supplies of California's special blend of clean burning gas,
sending gas prices at the pump skyrocketing, XETV 6 San Diego reported May 14. Phillips 66, Royal
Dutch Shell, and Tesoro were performing work on units at three out of the five refineries in the Bay
Area, Bloomberg News reported. Additionally, BP's Cherry Point refinery in Washington State also
was down but could restart production the week of May 21. There are a limited number of refineriesthat produce California's regulated blend of gasoline, a petroleum analyst said. As a result, gas
inventories on the West Coast were at their lowest levels in 20 years.

May 15, Wired(International) Popular surveillance cameras open to hackers, researcher says. Three
of the most popular brands of closed-circuit surveillance cameras are sold with remote Internet access
enabled by default, and with weak password securitya classic recipe for security failure that could
allow hackers to remotely tap into the video feeds, according to new research. The cameras, used by
banks, retailers, hotels, hospitals, and corporations, are often configured insecurelythanks to these
manufacturer default settings, said a senior security engineer at Gotham Digital Science. As a result,
he says, attackers can seize control of systems to view live footage, archived footage, or control the
direction and zoom of adjustable cameras. The researcher and his team were able to view footage as
part of penetration tests they conducted for clients to uncover security vulnerabilities.
