No-Li wins medals at competition

Spokane-based No-Li Brewhouse recently took awards at two international beer competitions.

No-Li’s Wrecking Ball Imperial Stout and Born & Raised IPA both won gold medals at the 2020 Belgium International Beer Challenge, which included brews from more than 35 counties and 1,700 entries that were judged by 80 international judges.

In October, No-Li also scored a gold medal for the Cascade Hazy IPA in the 2020 World Beer Awards held in England. In that same competitions, No-Li’s Red, White and Hazy IPA took a silver medal.

“Together, we are passionate artists, brewers and trades people committed to imagining and creating beers that are delicious and enjoyable,” Ryan Smith, No-Li Packaging Manager, said in a news release.

Home Depot settles for $17.5M

BOSTON – Home Depot has reached a $17.5 million settlement with the attorney generals of 46 states and the District of Columbia over a 2014 data breach that exposed the payment card information of some 40 million customers.

The Massachusetts Attorney General’s office detailed the settlement in a statement Tuesday, saying Home Depot agreed under its terms to employ a full-time chief information security officer among other measures.

Cybercriminals hacked into Home Depot’s self-checkout point-of-sale systems using a third-party vendor’s username and password and installed malware that harvested the customer data from April through September 2014.
