54-598: The minimum age to buy Wisconsin Lottery tickets is 18. Until 2003, a game show produced by the Wisconsin Lottery and Hearst-Argyle Television , called Wisconsin Lottery Money Game , was aired weekly on the Lottery's network of stations. Contestants won a chance to play the game (and $ 100) if a scratch ticket contained three "TV" symbols; if not chosen for the main game, would win at least $ 500 from

108-485: A December 2000 deal between the NBC-owned stations , Gannett , and Hearst-Argyle to develop programming. NBC Enterprises continued to produce some programming from a Hearst-Argyle facility near Boston until June 2003. On January 6, 2017, Hearst acquired majority control of Charleston, South Carolina -based syndicator Litton Entertainment, which has control of four of the five E/I -compliant Saturday morning blocks on

162-539: A Fox affiliation on any of its stations). Hearst's involvement in broadcasting dates to the 1920s. In 1980, Hearst Broadcasting purchased WDTN in Dayton, Ohio , from Grinnell College for a price estimated to be $ 45–48 million. Hearst-Argyle announced its purchase of the nine television stations and two radio stations owned by Pulitzer Publishing Company in May 1998, in a deal worth $ 1.15 billion in stock. The acquisition

216-443: A USB drive not visible to Windows as a transport channel between the air-gapped computer and a computer connected to the internet, presumably as a way to share files between the two systems. NFCdrip was the name given to the discovery of stealthy data exfiltration through NFC (Near-field communication) radio abuse and signal detection in 2018. Although NFC enables devices to establish effective communication by bringing them within

270-602: A ban on wireless connections to or from the secure network, or similar restrictions on EM leakage from the secure network through the use of TEMPEST or a Faraday cage . Despite a lack of direct connection to other systems, air-gapped networks have been shown to be vulnerable to attack in various circumstances. Scientists in 2013 demonstrated the viability of air gap malware designed to defeat air gap isolation using acoustic signaling. Shortly after that, network security researcher Dragos Ruiu 's BadBIOS received press attention. In 2014, researchers introduced AirHopper ,

324-432: A bifurcated attack pattern showing the feasibility of data exfiltration from an isolated computer to a nearby mobile phone, using FM frequency signals. In 2015, BitWhisper, a covert signaling channel between air-gapped computers using thermal manipulations was introduced. BitWhisper supports bidirectional communication and requires no additional dedicated peripheral hardware. Later in 2015, researchers introduced GSMem,

378-608: A complicated drawing procedure involving three number pools and various colored balls. Another MUSL game, Cash4Life (not to be confused with the current multi-state game by that name), which offered an annuitized prize of $ 1,000 per week for life (no cash option was available) with a first-prize win from a 99-ball pool; only four players won that game by its end in 1999. Neither WISN nor the Wisconsin Lottery network televised either game's drawings (held at 9:45pm) due to lack of popularity and their drawing time being during primetime. The Badger 5 game continues to this day; its play style

432-450: A feature of station news tickers . The Lottery joined the multi-jurisdictional Lotto*America game in 1989. Later, the Lottery began its Wisconsin's Very Own Megabucks jackpot drawings after the launch of Powerball (which replaced L*A) in 1992. The Lottery's nightly drawings, starting in 1991 with the introduction of Supercash! (a $ 250,000 daily six-number game when it began), took place at WISN-TV. Employees who were not part of

486-478: A few centimeters of each other, researchers showed that it can be abused to transmit information at a much longer range than expected - up to 100 meters. In general, malware can exploit various hardware combinations to leak sensitive information from air-gapped systems using "air-gap covert channels". These hardware combinations use a number of different media to bridge the air-gap, including: acoustic, light, seismic, magnetic, thermal, and radio-frequency. From

540-409: A high level of procedures to ensure integrity of the industrial safety system. The concept represents nearly the maximum protection one network can have from another (save turning the device off). One way to transfer data between the outside world and the air-gapped system is to copy data on a removable storage medium such as a removable disk or USB flash drive and physically carry the storage to

594-436: A method for exfiltrating data from air-gapped computers over cellular frequencies. The transmission - generated by a standard internal bus - renders the computer into a small cellular transmitter antenna. ProjectSauron malware discovered in 2016 demonstrates how an infected USB device can be used to remotely leak data off of an air-gapped computer. The malware remained undetected for 5 years and relied on hidden partitions on

648-404: A physical cut of the network by a specific hardware. Sophisticated computer viruses for use in cyberwarfare , such as Stuxnet and Agent.BTZ have been designed to infect air-gapped systems by exploiting security holes related to the handling of removable media . The possibility of using acoustic communication has also been demonstrated by researchers. Researchers have also demonstrated

702-562: A pool of money split between them and the other 54 players not chosen. Five contestants would play the game, consisting of four or five rounds where they would choose cash prizes hidden behind the letters Wisconsin Lottery Moneygame , which were set up in the style of the Wheel of Fortune gameboard, but with reversed play. Here, contestants hit a plunger to light up one of the word rows, then picked one letter in that word. The letter

756-468: A producer and distributor of syndicated programming. As part of Hearst-Argyle's acquisition of KCRA-TV in Sacramento, the company also acquired Kelly News & Entertainment, which was merged into Hearst-Argyle Television Productions. In January 2001, NBC Enterprises and Hearst-Argyle agreed to merge their production and distribution operations into a joint venture majority-owned by NBC; this followed

810-406: A security perspective, the main drawback of an air gapped network is the inability of software to automatically self update. Users and system administrators must instead download and install updates manually. If a strict update routine is not followed, this results in out-of-date software running on the network, which may contain known security vulnerabilities. If an adversary manages to gain access to

864-811: A subchannel of an NBC affiliate, and one which acts as a two-station simulcast), two CBS affiliates, six CW affiliates (two traditional, two subchannel (which are part of a two-station simulcast), and two channel shares), one MyNetworkTV affiliate, and one independent station . Most of the company's subchannel stations broadcast either Weigel Broadcasting 's MeTV or NBC's Cozi TV through national affiliation deals, along with being charter carriers of Weigel's two newest concepts, Heroes & Icons , and Story Television . Since December 1, 2014, Des Moines CBS affiliate KCCI has used its third subchannel as an H&I affiliate carrying MyNetworkTV programming in primetime.

1188-468: Is found in most U.S. lotteries. The televised drawings and the Money Game were discontinued in late 2002, due to budget constraints and stations moving the show to lower-rated timeslots. The drawings were moved to Madison, where they are conducted around 9:30pm nightly at the Lottery's headquarters building using an air-gapped random number generator machine instead. The stations which were part of

1242-552: Is one that has no network interfaces , either wired or wireless, connected to outside networks. Many computers, even when they are not plugged into a wired network, have a wireless network interface controller ( WiFi ) and are connected to nearby wireless networks to access the Internet and update software. This represents a security vulnerability, so air-gapped computers have their wireless interface controller either permanently disabled or physically removed. To move data between

On August 20, 2014, it was announced that Hearst Television would acquire WVTM in Birmingham, Alabama, and WJCL in Savannah, Georgia, from Media General , which divested those stations under FCC advisement as part of its acquisition of LIN Media . In 2021, Hearst began to carry

1350-468: The Bell–LaPadula confidentiality model , where data can be moved low-to-high with minimal security measures, while high-to-low requires much more stringent procedures to ensure protection of the data at a higher level of classification. In some cases (for instance industrial critical systems), the policy is different: data can be moved from high-to-low with minimal security measures, but low-to-high requires

1404-524: The Megaplier . Wisconsin has been a member of MUSL since 1989 . Powerball began on April 19, 1992, replacing the original incarnation of Wisconsin’s Megabucks.

2376-415: The other system. This access still has to be carefully controlled since USB drive may have vulnerabilities (see below). The upside to this is that such a network can generally be regarded as a closed system (in terms of information, signals, and emissions security), unable to be accessed from the outside world. The downside is that transferring information (from the outside world) to be analyzed by computers on

2430-616: The outside world and the air-gapped system, it is necessary to write data to a physical medium such as a thumbdrive , and physically move it between computers. Physical access has to be controlled (man identity and storage media itself). It is easier to control than a direct full network interface, which can be attacked from the exterior insecure system and, if malware infects the secure system, can be used to export secure data. That's why some new hardware technologies are also available like unidirectional data diodes or bidirectional diodes (also called electronic airgaps), that physically separate

2484-403: The secure network is extraordinarily labor-intensive, often involving human security analysis of prospective programs or data to be entered onto air-gapped networks and possibly even human manual re-entry of the data following security analysis. That's why another way to transfer data, used in appropriate situations like critical industries, is to use data diodes and electronic airgaps, that assure
