Instituciones del sector financiero en México registraron 16 ataques cibernéticos de 2019 a enero del presente año, que costaron 785.4 millones de pesos.

Los registros de Banxico sobre los “Principales incidentes ciber-néticos ocurridos en el sistema fi-nanciero nacional” revelan que fue en 2019 cuando se reportaron las mayores afectaciones, superando incluso a las de 2020, cuando se incrementó el uso de banca por internet y móvil, como producto de la pandemia.

Si bien el nombre de los afecta-dos no se hace público ni es dado a conocer por las autoridades fi-nancieras, Banxico sí comparte los datos sobre cómo se dieron estos ataques cibernéticos, si es que hubo afectaciones a clientes o institucio-nes, y a cuánto ascendió el monto

WASHINGTON — PresidentBiden offered a series of conces-sions to try to secure a $1 trillioninfrastructure deal with SenateRepublicans in an Oval Officemeeting this week, narrowingboth his spending and tax propos-als as negotiations barreled intothe final days of what could be animprobable agreement or a blamegame that escalates quickly.

A deal still appears to be a longshot, with potential tax increasesthe biggest hurdle to winning thekind of Republican support thatMr. Biden has said he is seeking.But the continued movement un-derscored his hopes for a revivalof bipartisanship.

The talks are being sustainedby a desire among lawmakers inboth parties to reach agreementover what has been a longstand-ing but elusive goal in Congress:repairing and enhancing thecountry’s network of roads,bridges, water pipes and otherphysical infrastructure. Bothsides are trying to win favor withthe moderate congressional Dem-ocrats, particularly in the Senate,who will ultimately decide the fateof the president’s $4 trillion eco-nomic agenda.

Yet Republicans said on Thurs-day that Mr. Biden was seekingmore spending than they werelikely to support. They privatelypanned his continued attempt tofund the bill with increased taxrevenue from corporations andhigh earners even if those plansdo not cross the Republicans’ redline of reversing parts of Presi-dent Donald J. Trump’s signaturetax cuts in 2017. Mr. Biden has alsoinsisted on including some spend-ing provisions, like building500,000 new charging stations forelectric vehicles, that have littleRepublican support in Congress.

The president has now cut morethan $1 trillion from his initial $2.3trillion infrastructure proposal,while Republicans have added

LONDON — During a divisivemeeting over proposed climateregulations last fall, a Saudi diplo-mat to the International MaritimeOrganization activated his micro-phone for an unusually sharpcomplaint: One of his colleagueswas discussing the proceedingsonline as they happened.

It was a breach of the secrecy atthe heart of the I.M.O., a powerful,clubby United Nations agency onthe banks of the Thames. Dele-gates have met for decades be-hind closed doors to regulate theoften-obscure world of interna-tional shipping. Today, that se-crecy helps conceal how the orga-nization defeats attempts to re-duce emissions in an industry thatproduces as much carbon dioxideas all of America’s coal plantscombined.

But internal documents, record-ings and dozens of interviewsshow that the organization has re-peatedly delayed and watereddown climate regulations for anindustry that burns some of thedirtiest fuel available — an oil sothick it might otherwise be turnedinto asphalt. That inaction has al-lowed shipping emissions to rise,a trend that threatens to under-mine the goals of the 2016 Parisclimate accord.

One reason for the lack ofprogress is that the I.M.O. is a reg-ulatory body that is run in concertwith the industry it regulates.Shipbuilders, oilmen, miners,chemical manufacturers and oth-ers with huge financial stakes incommercial shipping are amongthe delegates appointed by manymember nations. They sometimeseven speak on behalf of govern-ments, knowing that publicrecords are sparse, and that evenwhen the organization allowsjournalists into its meetings, ittypically prohibits them fromquoting people by name.

An agency lawyer underscoredthat point last fall in addressingthe Saudi complaint. “This is a pri-vate meeting,” warned the lawyer,Frederick J. Kenney.

This month, the organization isscheduled to enact its first green-house gas rules since Paris — reg-ulations that do not cut emissions,have no enforcement mechanism

WASHINGTON — Americanintelligence officials have foundno evidence that aerial phenom-ena witnessed by Navy pilots inrecent years are alien spacecraft,but they still cannot explain theunusual movements that havemystified scientists and the mili-tary, according to senior adminis-tration officials briefed on thefindings of a highly anticipatedgovernment report.

The report determines that avast majority of more than 120 in-cidents over the past two decadesdid not originate from any Ameri-can military or other advancedU.S. government technology, theofficials said. That determinationwould appear to eliminate the pos-sibility that Navy pilots who re-ported seeing unexplained air-craft might have encountered pro-grams the government meant tokeep secret.

But that is about the only con-clusive finding in the classified in-telligence report, the officials said.

Early in the pandemic, as hospi-tals in New York began postpon-ing operations to make way for theflood of Covid-19 cases, Dr. To-moaki Kato continued to performsurgery. Patients still needed livertransplants, and some were toosick to wait.

At 56, Dr. Kato was healthy andexceptionally fit. He had run theNew York City Marathon seventimes, and he specialized in opera-tions that were also marathons,lasting 12 or 16 or 20 hours. He wasrenowned for surgical innova-tions, deft hands and sheer stam-ina. At NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medi-

cal Center, where he was the sur-gical director of adult and pediat-ric liver and intestinaltransplantation, his boss hascalled him “our Michael Jordan.”

Dr. Kato became ill withCovid-19 in March 2020.

“I was in a denial situation,” hesaid. “I thought I was going to befine.”

But he soon became one of thesickest patients in his own hospi-tal, dependent on a ventilator andother machines to pump oxygen

into his bloodstream and do thework of his failing kidneys. Hecame close to death “many, manytimes,” according to Dr. Marcus R.Pereira, who oversaw Dr. Kato’scare and is the medical director ofthe center’s infectious diseaseprogram for transplant recipients.

Colleagues feared at first thathe would not survive and then,when the worst had passed, thathe might never be able to performsurgery again. But after twomonths in the hospital, Dr. Katoemerged with a determination toget back to work and a new senseof urgency about the need to teachother surgeons the innovative op-erations he had developed. Hisown illness also enabled him to

NEWS ANALYSIS

JERUSALEM — Naftali Ben-nett, the leader of a hard-rightpolitical party, stood before tele-vision cameras and pledgednever to share power with YairLapid, a centrist, and MansourAbbas, an Islamist. It was March22, the day before Israel’s fourthelection in two years.

Yet late Wednesday night, just72 days later, there was Mr. Ben-nett, sitting down beside both Mr.Abbas and Mr. Lapid and signinga deal that, pending a confidencevote in Parliament later thismonth, would see all three unitein the first government since2009 that won’t be led by PrimeMinister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Through three consecutiveelections between April 2019 andMarch 2020, Mr. Netanyahu hadkept them all at bay. He mayhave failed to win an overallmajority himself, but he clung topower by exacerbating divisionswithin Israel’s ideologically dif-fuse opposition, ensuring thatthey, too, would fail to build amajority coalition.

The question of what changedsince a fourth inconclusive elec-tion in March — and why — hasseveral answers, both systemicand circumstantial.

Mr. Lapid’s dexterity in con-structing a somewhat gravitydefying coalition has certainlybeen a factor. But Mr. Netanyahuhimself played a crucial role —reversing years of unrepentantand divisive policies towardIsrael’s Arab minority by sud-denly bestowing legitimacy thisyear on Arab politicians like Mr.Abbas, who have long been con-sidered fifth columnists by muchof the Israeli right.

The reasons are also rooted ina combination of personal andpolitical judgments by nationalistpower brokers like Mr. Bennett.Even if Mr. Bennett had stuck byMr. Netanyahu, his supportwould not have been enough togive Mr. Netanyahu a majority.That meant that Mr. Bennett wasleft with either joining the oppo-sition or sending Israel to a fifthelection in little more than two

In early December,

California State University

leaders made an announce-

ment: All 23 campuses

would reopen for in-person

classes in fall 2021. But with

registration underway for

the new academic year, the

return is looking anything

but normal — and it has be-

come clear the pandemic

has altered the future of the

nation’s largest four-year

university system.

Online options are here

to stay.

Throughout the system,

in spring surveys, campus

discussions and early regis-

tration trends, a new realiza-

tion has emerged among

students and staff. At the

largely commuter Cal State

campuses, many found valu-

able upsides to virtual learn-

ing: greater flexibility in

their college-work-life bal-

ance, fewer expenses, the

power to keep students in

college.

“What we learned during

the pandemic is that virtual

learning provides the oppor-

tunity for students to get an

education while they’re try-

ing to balance a number of

different things in their lives,

whether they’re parents or

taking care of an elderly par-

ent or working or living in a

rural area,” Cal State Chan-

cellor Joseph Castro said

this week.

“What I believe, based on

what I’ve heard from stu-

dents and faculty and staff

throughout the CSU, is that

offerings after the pandemic

is over than we did before the

pandemic.”

Not all students may

want to pursue virtual

courses, and challenges re-

main to expand limited pre-

pandemic offerings. But a

greater blending of instruc-

tion could make a long-term

difference for students, Cas-

tro said.

“I very much want to see

the CSU achieve this goal of

higher graduation rates and

eliminating equity gaps.

And I think that we can do

this by providing the flexibil-

ity. The access is so neces-

sary for our students from all

different backgrounds to

succeed.”

The changing environ-

ment for Cal State cam-

puses reflects post-pandem-

ic higher education trends

nationally in which students

are demanding more online

options. And many students

bring distinct California

challenges to their educa-

tion, grappling with high

housing costs and traffic-

A California safety board

Thursday recommended re-

laxing workplace safety

rules for people vaccinated

against COVID-19, meaning

that on June 15, employees

will probably be able to take

off their masks in a room if

everyone there is vacci-

nated.

As the pandemic contin-

ues to wane and more people

are inoculated against

COVID-19, confidence has

grown among officials that

face coverings and social dis-

tancing are no longer a must

for fully vaccinated Califor-

nians — though they remain

important for those who

have yet to roll up their

sleeves.

That’s why the Occupa-

tional Safety and Health

Standards Board, whose

seven members are ap-

pointed by the governor, ul-

timately unanimously opted

to push the rules forward,

saying it was time to begin

relaxing mask-wearing

rules.

“We have seen great im-

provements in a lot of work-

places and we’ve seen num-

bers go down,” said board

member Laura Stock, who is

also director of UC Berke-

ley’s Labor Occupational

Health Program. Now,

where “people are vacci-

nated, there are certain

things that actually can be

changed.”

The new rules proposed

by the California Division of

Occupational Safety and

Health, or Cal/OSHA, are

still subject to review by the

state Office of Administra-

tive Law. But it’s expected

the office will approve the

rules, which can go into ef-

fect on June 15 — the same

day as California is set to

fully reopen its economy.

The rules would allow

workers in a room to take off

their masks if every person

there is fully vaccinated and

does not have COVID-19

symptoms. Masks would

MUMBAI, India — One by one, the vil-

lagers fell sick.

It started with a fever, then breathless-

ness. By then, it was too late. There was no

medicine, oxygen or hospital nearby to

save them. Their bodies had to be carried

by family to the river and cremated.

“I knew all of them,” said Jitendra Hari

Pandey, who estimated that more than 30

people in his village have died since the be-

ginning of April. “They were my neighbors

and friends.”

They perished like thousands of others

in India’s cities. But because there was

no COVID-19 testing in Kayamuddinpur

Patti, a speck of land in Uttar Pradesh,

one of the nation’s poorest states, the

villagers were not counted in the

official tally of pandemic deaths.

That total stood at 337,989 Thursday,

with more than 28 million infected. Experts

said the real numbers, however, could be

up to five times higher.

Nowhere is that discrepancy believed to

be more stark than in the countryside,

where two-thirds of India’s 1.4 billion peo-

ple live, often in abject poverty, and the lack

of health infrastructure and government

reporting is obscuring the true scope of the

country’s massive second wave.

Without a more accurate picture, ex-

perts warn that India could loosen social

restrictions too early again, inviting new

variants and a third wave of infections that

could delay the global recovery.

“We don’t know what’s happening in

the countryside,” said R. Ramakumar,

a professor of development studies at the

Tata Institute of Social Sciences in Mum-

bai. “It could be serious, very serious, or

disastrous. There’s very little data being

Banny Hong sighed as he

sat at his Burmese restau-

rant on a recent weekday, re-

counting the violence that

has swept through his

homeland since a military

coup four months ago.

Two portraits of Myan-

mar’s civilian leader Aung

San Suu Kyi decorated the

wall before him, flanking a

photograph of Yangon, the

nation’s largest city.

“It’s a dangerous time

there,” he said as two

masked employees cleaned

tables and swept the floors

before his Stanton eatery,

Irrawaddy Taste Of Burma,

opened for the day. “A lot of

untold stories. Missing bod-

ies. It’s a devastating mo-

ment. I am very desperate.”

Hong’s friends from his

university days still live in

Myanmar, also known as

Burma, which Hong left in

1987. He worries for their

safety and believes that only

the United States can help

bring an end to the violence

that so far has resulted in an

estimated 750 civilian

deaths, widespread arrests

and street protests amid a

military crackdown in the

Southeast Asian country.

“Even my customers are

asking about it,” the 55-year-

old said.

Members of California’s

F.Lee Bailey was at one time

the most famous trial at-

torney in the country,

known for his lightning-

quick mind, relentless

courtroom interrogations and insa-

tiable self-promotion.

In trials that captivated the na-

tion, he defended Dr. Sam Sheppard,

whose story was reportedly the basis

for “The Fugitive” TV series and film;

Army Capt. Ernest Medina, accused

of war crimes in Vietnam; confessed

Boston Strangler Albert De Salvo;

and newspaper heiress Patty Hearst.

“They say this is the trial of the

century,” Bailey told the Los Angeles

Times in 1976 during the Hearst bank

robbery trial, “but it is the fourth such

one for me.”

In fact, the biggest was still to

come. In 1995, Bailey was part of the

“dream team” of attorneys who suc-

cessfully represented O.J. Simpson at
