Hacked software provider won't say if ransomware involved
An updated statement on Tyler's webpage did not address whether ransomware may have been involved. Customers' use of Tyler products for election data reporting appears limited. Nashville's information technology director said the city uses a Tyler โopen-dataโ product, Socrata, to post unofficial election night results, among other uses. Tyler said Socrata data is hosted on Amazon Web Services, not on the network that was hacked. Hanna Pickering, director of information technology in Portland, Maine, said the city uses Tyler platforms for payroll, permitting, city inspections, city planning and human resources, among other things.

Pizza Hut brings back retro logo
Compared to its current logo, the old version features its red roof more prominently and the Pizza Hut font is bolder and in black. Pizza Hut used the original logo from 1967 to 1999, when it was the by far the biggest pizza company in the world. "Pizza Hut is an iconic brand that is engrained in the hearts and minds of so many of our customers, we felt it was our job to make our creative reflect both the rich legacy of Pizza Hut, as well as nod to where we're headed," Marianne Radley, Pizza Hut's chief brand officer, told CNN Business. The logo is the latest change for Pizza Hut as competition tightens with its closest competitors, Domino's and Papa John's. In May, Pizza Hut changed the recipe of its "Original Pan Pizza" with a new cheese blend, sauce and pan.
