California surgeon general sets goal of reducing maternal mortality by 50%

California’s surgeon general has unveiled an initiative to reduce #maternal #mortality and set a goal of ❇️ halving the rate of deaths related to pregnancy and birth by December 2026.

Health officials say that more than 80% of maternal deaths nationwide are preventable.

California has achieved a much lower rate of such deaths than the U.S., but ♦️maternal mortality resurged in recent years amid the COVID-19 pandemic, state data show.

“We have the lowest rate in the country. Now we can do better,” California Surgeon General Dr. Diana E. #Ramos said in an interview.

Ramos was joined in announcing the effort Tuesday by First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Foundation software includes a Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) that can be configured to be publicly accessible via TCP port 4243 to support a companion mobile app.

However, this also exposes the Microsoft SQL server to external attacks that try and brute force MSSQL accounts configured on the server.

By default, MSSQL has an admin account named 'sa' while Foundation has added a second one named 'dba.'

Users who have not changed the default passwords on these accounts are susceptible to hijacks by external actors.

Those who did but picked weak passwords may still be compromised via brute-forcing.
