<content:encoded><![CDATA[Steven Spielberg grants that his 1977 UFO film Close Encounters was "speculative," writes the Associated Press, but "Disclosure Day, he insists, is the real deal."

"It's my first film that will be considered science fiction that I do not consider to be science fiction," Spielberg said in a recent interview. "It's much more reflective of the world as it is evolving and discoveries that are being made as we speak." Spielberg, at 79, is trying to revive and reconsider the alien wonder that's long lingered in his mind, from "E.T." to "War of the Worlds." "Disclosure Day," Spielberg's first summer movie in a decade, is already being hailed as one of his best in years. But this time, Spielberg is testing whether he can conjure some of his trademark movie magic less with imagination than with conviction. "I've been a believer since I made 'Close Encounters' 50 years ago," Spielberg says. "But I would always say: Until I've seen a UAP or a UFO with my own eyes, I'm not going to categorically state that life from out there has come here. But I've changed that," he adds. "I'm now willing to change my mind because of the circumstantial evidence which is overwhelming..." 


Spielberg, having long followed reports of alleged alien encounters, was inspired by the 2023 House Subcommittee on National Security hearing on UAPs: Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. Among the witnesses was whistleblower and former Air Force intelligence officer David Grusch, who testified that the government concealed a program investigating UAPs. The Pentagon then denied it... Those 2023 testimonies and others so fueled Spielberg that he produced a 50-page treatment on what would become "Disclosure Day." During the writing process with Koepp, he texted him more notes, he says, "than I've ever sent to anyone in my life." 
"There was a period in there where I believe he re-read the script every single day for a year," Koepp says. "We'd be in different time zones and I would wake up to 30 or 35 texts from his most current reading of the script. When the leader of the project has that level of commitment, it tends to bring along everyone. You up your game." 
The article calls it "a grand bookend for one of the most cosmically-minded moviemakers of our time." But the man who filmed some of the world's first summer blockbusters also shared his thoughts on the future of movies. "Even though the numbers are still not pre-COVID level numbers for any films being released now, it's more robust than it has been for many years. The audience gives me belief that people still want to congregate in a dark space in the company of strangers to share an experience of a film made by storytellers. And that gives me faith to continue making films." 

Rolling Stone wrote that "There's a lot to love in Disclosure Day." Though they also offer this pithy summary of its plot. "Remember when Steven Spielberg digitally replaced the guns in the hands of government agents for the 20th anniversary of E.T., then expressed regret about the decision? Imagine that he not only restored the weapons but crafted an entire two-and-a-half-hour feature around that one sequence as a mea culpa. That's Disclosure Day."


The filmmaker may be staging a pulpy campaign with this sci-fi throwback, but he sincerely seems to believe the truth is out there — and will set us free... [W]hile the quality of his output can vary wildly when you look at the big picture of his career, there's still a baseline of love — for filmmaking, for storytelling through images, for giving people an experience that pushes emotional buttons and taps adrenal glands — that gives his work a sense of vitality and displays the sensibility of an artist at work... 
There's also a weird full-circle feel to it, and not just because he's returning to the fertile ground of Close Encounters and his other science fiction spectacles. You can see traces of everything from Duel to Minority Report show up, to the point where this almost doubles as a career retrospective in miniature... Yes, Spielberg does believe that we are not the only game running in the cosmos. But he also believes that our better angels have not left the building, and that movies still have the power to communally blow minds and open hearts. 

The Associated Press calls it "a grand bookend for one of the most cosmically-minded moviemakers of our time" and "a distant answer to the final notes of Close Encounters."<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<p>OpenAI has proposed mandatory federal evaluations of the most capable AI models before public release while arguing that regulators should stop short of deciding whether those systems can be deployed, staking out a middle ground in the debate over how frontier AI should be governed.</p>



<p>The company’s proposal came a day after the <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4180205/trump-revives-parts-of-canceled-ai-order-with-cybersecurity-focused-directive.html">White House issued an executive order on advanced AI innovation and security</a>, amid ongoing discussions in Washington of whether oversight of frontier AI systems should rely on voluntary commitments, mandatory evaluations, licensing requirements, or some combination of the three.</p>



<p>At the center of OpenAI’s proposal is a distinction between government evaluation and government approval. The company proposed that the most capable AI models undergo pre-release assessments by the <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4168122/us-government-agency-to-safety-test-frontier-ai-models-before-release.html">Center for AI Standards and Innovation</a> (CAISI), the federal government’s AI evaluation and standards body, while stopping short of giving regulators authority to approve or block deployments.</p>



<p>“Policymakers should require the most capable frontier models to undergo a CAISI evaluation before public release,” OpenAI wrote in its proposal, “<a href="https://openai.com/index/frontier-safety-blueprint/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Democratic Governance of Frontier AI: A blueprint for a federal framework</a>.” But it added that “CAISI’s role should be to conduct evaluations and recommend mitigations—not to approve or block deployments.”</p>



<p>It also proposed a broader federal framework that would require evaluations, audits, transparency reports, incident reporting, whistleblower protections, and stronger security controls around frontier AI systems.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Shaping the governance debate</h2>



<p><a href="https://greyhoundresearch.com/svg/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sanchit Vir Gogia</a>, chief analyst at Greyhound Research, said OpenAI’s proposal appears designed to influence the direction of an emerging federal governance framework rather than respond to one that is already settled.</p>



<p>“The contest is no longer whether frontier AI is governed, but who governs it, on whose terms, and where final authority rests,” he said.</p>



<p>OpenAI argued governments need greater visibility into frontier AI development and that voluntary commitments alone will not be sufficient as AI systems become more capable.</p>



<p>“Democratic governments — not private companies acting alone — must ultimately determine the rules, safeguards, and accountability mechanisms,” it wrote. “Decisions about the pace of AI innovation should not be left to any one lab, company, or special interest group.”</p>



<p>The company also said, “If artificial general intelligence is going to benefit all of humanity, the world needs more than voluntary commitments, individual company policies, and isolated regulatory interventions.” Instead, it argued, “It needs harmonized legal frameworks and durable institutions capable of adapting as technology advances.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A procurement gate for enterprise AI</h2>



<p>The proposal also addresses government buyers. OpenAI said federal agencies should not run frontier AI systems that have not passed a recognized evaluation and should “prohibit procurement of products and services that rely on unevaluated frontier models” in sensitive settings.</p>



<p>It would also sort the federal market into evaluated and unevaluated models: Any vendor building on a frontier model would have to show the system had cleared evaluation to keep selling to government.</p>



<p>Gogia said compliance-heavy rules favor the largest developers, who help define the thresholds and audit templates that others inherit. “Governance of this shape can become a moat dressed as maturity,” he said.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Beyond voluntary commitments</h2>



<p>OpenAI’s proposal goes beyond model evaluations, suggesting a broader governance framework for frontier AI developers.</p>



<p>Among the measures it recommends are annual third-party audits, public transparency reports, critical safety incident reporting requirements, cybersecurity protections for unreleased model weights, and whistleblower safeguards.</p>



<p>“Large frontier developers should annually retain an independent third party to audit compliance with frontier safety requirements,” OpenAI said in the document.</p>



<p>The company is also calling for mandatory reporting of critical incidents involving deployed models, including dangerous model behavior and unauthorized access to sensitive model weights.</p>



<p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/shreeyadeshpande/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shreeya Deshpande</a>, senior analyst at Everest Group, said the proposal attempts to balance stronger oversight with continued innovation.</p>



<p>“This creates a credible middle path between voluntary commitments and licensing, while preserving developer control,” she said. “The model’s effectiveness will depend on CAISI’s technical capacity, independent assessment quality, and the strength of enforcement mechanisms.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Building institutions, not gatekeepers</h2>



<p>A central element of OpenAI’s proposal is to expand CAISI into what it describes as the federal government’s primary institution for frontier AI evaluation, standards development, independent assessment certification, and coordination with national security agencies and international partners.</p>



<p>OpenAI argues policymakers need a permanent institution capable of monitoring frontier capabilities and evaluating emerging risks as AI systems evolve.</p>



<p>At the same time, the company repeatedly cautions against turning CAISI into a deployment gatekeeper. Developers, it argues, should remain responsible for release decisions, and model deployment should not be delayed because of government capacity constraints or administrative bottlenecks.</p>



<p>Gogia said the framework should be understood primarily as a mechanism for generating evidence about frontier AI systems rather than directly determining whether they can be deployed.</p>



<p>“It is best understood as an evidence-producing regime rather than an accountability-producing one,” he said. “It will make developers more legible. Whether it makes them more answerable is a separate question.”</p>

<br />
Ich habe mir angeschaut, wer hinter Objection.ai steckt, wie das System funktionieren soll und was passiert, wenn man den Mechanismus mit echten Artikeln nachbaut. Das Ergebnis zeigt weniger ein Werkzeug gegen Falschbehauptungen — und mehr eine Blaupause dafür, Journalismus skalierbar unter Druck zu setzen.<br />

<p>Identity management is a critical concern for any enterprise, and it’s becoming ever more complex and convoluted with the advent of AI agents.</p>



<p><a href="https://world.org/world-id" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">World ID</a> is taking a unique (and to some, controversial) approach to this challenge by building a ‘digital proof of human’ ecosystem for the internet. Today, at its “Lift Off” event, the Sam Altman co-founded initiative made a series of announcements, which included the launch of version 4.0 of its World ID protocol, a World ID app, World ID for Business, World ID for Agents, a new verification tool called Selfie Check, new monetization programs, and integrations with Zoom and Okta.</p>



<p>“It’s a re-engineering of the stack around a very simple idea: Humans should have a right to exceptional privacy and security,” <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielshorr/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Daniel Shorr</a>, chief of staff to the CEO at Tools for Humanity, said at the event.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How ‘proof of human’ works</h2>



<p>Billed as the infrastructure for the age of AI, World ID was co-founded by Altman and Alex Blania, and is being developed by technology company Tools for Humanity, whose iris imaging technology seeks to eliminate the need to provide emails, photos, or other personal details to prove identity.</p>



<p>World ID’s mission is to provide “proof of human” (POH), so that people know they are in fact interacting with another human being (or a bot on behalf of a verified human), rather than a deepfake or other unknown entity. The ideal is to reduce abuse, impersonation, fraud, and misinformation, and promote <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4127733/1-5-million-ai-agents-are-at-risk-of-going-rogue.html" target="_blank">trust in online interactions</a>.</p>



<p>POH ensures that only one account exists per user (‘one-person-one-ID’) via Tools For Humanity’s <a href="https://world.org/orb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">iris-scanning Orb device</a>, which uses multispectral sensors and infrared light to capture high-res images of a human’s irises. These images are processed in seconds on-device to generate an ‘IrisCode,’ a unique cryptographic hash based on the iris’s unique details and textures.</p>



<p>IrisCodes are then compared to entries in the World Chain, a global blockchain-based database, to verify the user hasn’t previously registered. This check uses <a href="https://www.gate.com/learn/articles/zero-knowledge-proofs-explained/918" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">zero-knowledge proofs</a> (ZKPs), a cryptographic prover-verifier mechanism, to confirm iris uniqueness without needing to link personal data.</p>



<p>If the IrisCode is identified as unique, the user receives a World ID that can be stored on their phone. IrisCodes are anonymized and fragmented across secure servers to minimize breach risks, preventing reverse engineering. The Orb also deletes original images by default.</p>



<p>Other World ID initiatives include <a href="https://support.world.org/hc/en-us/articles/42201968463123-What-is-Deep-Face-and-how-does-it-work" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Deep Face</a> and <a href="https://world.org/blog/announcements/introducing-face-auth-world-newest-private-security-enhancing-tech" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Face Auth</a>, which help identify deepfakes by performing private 1:1 face comparisons of selfies and Orb-captured images.</p>



<p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiagosada/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tiago Sada</a>, chief product officer at Tools for Humanity, emphasized the protocol’s open source nature, third-party auditing, and regular security updates. “It goes beyond standard end-to-end encryption, and it uses multiple primitives, including anonymized multi-party computation and zero knowledge proofs to protect you along the way,” he said at today’s event.</p>



<p>More than 18 million people across 160 countries have now verified their “humanness” via Orb and have used them more than 450 million times, execs said.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New World ID features</h2>



<p>The new World ID 4.0 is a more scalable and powerful version of World ID that incorporates essential upgrades like key rotation (which detaches keys from identity), multi-party entropy (to ensure that every interaction is unlinkable), and finer <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4140208/4-ways-to-prepare-your-soc-for-agentic-ai.html" target="_blank">credential controls</a> (more ways to manage and protect information), Shorr explained.</p>



<p>It now includes a new verification method, “Selfie Check,” that can be used in lieu of Tools for Humanity’s Orb device. “Take a selfie and ‘boom, you’re in,’” Shorr explained. He noted that it’s not as robust as the Orb, but it’s “really, really compelling for specific use cases. Not every use case today requires the gold standard of Orb assurance.”</p>



<p>World ID also now includes agent delegation tools that essentially serve as what Shorr called “a power of attorney for your agent,” allowing it to perform actions on the user’s behalf.</p>



<p>“With the explosion of agents, the internet is fundamentally changing again,” he said. “How do you make sure the right humans are in the loop?”</p>



<p>This is especially important at critical moments where users or platforms need to ensure that a purchase or decision was intentional. At the same time, he said, “we don’t want Skynet.”</p>



<p>Security company Okta is now onboard, introducing Human Principal, a verification method based on World ID that is now <a href="https://www.humanprincipal.ai/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">available in beta</a>.</p>



<p>World ID also announced upcoming new monetization efforts. Shorr noted that it’s difficult to monetize the network when you can’t share user data, but at the same time, being human is “incredibly valuable” in the age of AI, and the internet will want to know which users are human.</p>



<p>“We dug through the history books, and we came up with an inventively old approach: Fees,” he said. When services or developers ask for World ID proof, apps will pay a fee, not humans.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">World ID and Zoom fighting deepfakes</h2>



<p>Ensuring participants in Zoom calls are real people is another concern. </p>



<p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bittelson/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brendan Ittelson</a>, Zoom’s chief ecosystem officer, noted that deepfakes are more realistic than ever and the technology to create them is much more accessible, so it’s no longer a hypothetical ‘will this happen?’ </p>



<p>Customers across Zoom’s user base are deeply concerned, he said, yet there are challenges with existing verification techniques and knowledge base options.</p>



<p>“The technology is evolving so fast, so doing detection techniques and all that is a constant cat and mouse game,” he said. “You really need a platform where you’re looking at [the question], ‘how can you validate someone and be privacy forward, but also have that strong human connection?’”</p>



<p>To address that problem, today’s announcements included the news that World ID is coming to Zoom. New capabilities will match live images with the Orb-verified ID on a user’s device when they log into a call. They can also verify themselves in real time; nothing leaves their device. World ID verification will be indicated by a badge in the user’s Zoom window. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Not everyone is convinced, though</h2>



<p>While touted as a way to make the internet a safer, more democratic, and inclusive place, the ambitious initiative has been met with <a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/2023/08/07/1077250/worldcoin-officially-launched-why-its-being-investigated/#:~:text=The%20company%20announced%20this%20week,it's%20supposed%20to%20get%20smarter.%E2%80%9D" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">significant criticism</a>.</p>



<p>Detractors, including the likes of notorious whistleblower Edward Snowden, warn of privacy and biometric data risks. They argue that storing iris data could create immense security problems, as well as the potential for its misuse and for unlawful surveillance.</p>



<p>Other criticisms are that World ID creates a central point of failure, requires blind trust in one company, and exploits vulnerable and developing nations. For instance, the initiative became massively popular in Kenya because iris scans were traded for Worldcoin cryptocurrency (WLD). This hinted at bribery, detractors note; the program has since been banned in the country, and is also either banned or suspended in <a href="https://thecoinomist.com/breaking-news/world-id-project-suspends-operations-in-brazil/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brazil</a>, <a href="https://en.tempo.co/read/2004334/what-is-worldcoin-indonesia-suspends-crypto-id-platform-over-data-privacy-concerns" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Indonesia</a>, Hong Kong, and Spain.</p>



<p>Further, the initiative raises concerns around data protection laws, credential theft (which can be particularly catastrophic because irises are immutable), and ‘function creep’ that could eventually restrict access to sites and force participation in the program.</p>



<p>Indeed, Orbs, which began shipping in the third quarter of 2025, are purchased from the private Tools for Humanity organization and are owned by “<a href="https://world.org/community-operator" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">community operators</a>,” who verify World IDs with their devices and receive WLD tokens for their efforts.</p>



<p>Protecting this kind of biometric data is crucial, said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dbshipley/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">David Shipley</a> of Beauceron Security: He pointed to Apple’s approach, where biometric data is securely stored on-device, and only a digital expression based on that data is transmitted, never the original biometric data itself.</p>



<p>“This feels like a super-bad idea,” he said of World ID. While having a secure, verified digital ID as a service that can be trusted is much needed, it shouldn’t be delivered by a private sector entity, he contended.</p>



<p>“Private sector control of personhood feels Hollywood-style cyber dystopian,” said Shipley. “Proof of being human and proof of being a citizen are public goods and should be delivered by public bodies that can be held accountable through democratic representation.”</p>

<p><a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20260304095538/https://www.nordicnano.co/about/"><ins>Until recently</ins></a>, Lauri Peltola was listed as the Chief Commercial Officer at Nordic Nano — the firm reportedly contracted to handle portions of the manufacturing on Donut's behalf, and which Donut Lab has <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="https://www.donutlab.com/nordic-nano-investment/"><ins>invested in</ins></a>. He reportedly filed a criminal complaint that Donut Lab’s promises of energy density and longevity have been overstated and that the company lacks the production capacity previously claimed.</p>
<span></span><p><em>HS</em> suggests it has seen copies of internal communications between Donut Lab and two partner companies, CT-Coating and Nordic Nano. The paper says that CT-Coating’s first-generation battery is the one that Donut Lab has been advertising, and is the model it handed to Finnish national lab VTT to test. But, according to the emails viewed by <em>HS</em>, CT-Coating had abandoned development on that cell in favor of a one still in early development, despite Donut Lab’s <a data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1" href="https://www.donutlab.com/ces-battery-announcement/"><ins>claim</ins></a> in January that it had a technology ready to enter mass production.</p>
<p>Donut Lab CEO Marko Lehtimäki reportedly told <em>HS</em> he had no knowledge of Peltola’s complaint. Nordic Nano CEO Esa Parjanen, meanwhile, denied Peltola’s accusations, saying that his views were not shared by the company and that Peltola had no involvement with Nordic’s battery project. In a joint <a data-i13n="cpos:6;pos:1" href="https://www.donutlab.com/donut-labin-ja-nordic-nanon-lausunto-yksityishenkilon-tekemaan-rikosilmoitukseen-liittyen-17-4/"><ins>public statement</ins></a> Donut Lab and Nordic Nano stated they "do not know the exact nature of the complaint" but denied "having committed any crime or misleading investors." They also describe the complainant (presumably Peltola, though the statement does not name him) as not having "the necessary knowledge of battery technology or the overall picture of the development work."</p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/transportation/donut-labs-battery-claims-reportedly-subject-of-whistleblower-complaint-142133269.html?src=rss]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[J. Allen Hynek started as an Air Force consultant brought in to help explain away early UFO reports, but over time he grew frustrated with what he saw as the government's effort to minimize unexplained cases rather than seriously investigate them. Longtime Slashdot reader schwit1 shares an article from Popular Mechanics, in collaboration with Biography.com, that argues Hynek's shift from skeptic to advocate helped shape modern ufology, and that the Air Force's attempts to control the narrative may have deepened the public distrust and conspiracy thinking that followed. From the report: Do you think the U.S. government is hiding, and possibly reverse-engineering, extraterrestrial technology? Think again. Or better yet, don't think about it at all. Nothing to see here. That's the underlying message of a report released in 2024 by the Department of Defense. The 63-page "Report on the Historical Record of U.S. Government Involvement with Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) " concludes that the DoD's All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) "found no evidence that any [U.S. Government] investigation, academic-sponsored research, or official review panel has confirmed that any sighting of a UAP represented extraterrestrial technology."
 
The AARO, as 
The Guardian summarizes, is "a government office established in 2022 to detect and, as necessary, mitigate threats including 'anomalous, unidentified space, airborne, submerged and transmedium objects.'" This report came on the heels of, and in contradiction to, what was arguably the most high-profile hearing on UAPs -- formerly known as unidentified flying objects, or UFOs -- in decades: the August 2023 testimony of "whistleblower" Dave Grusch.
 
[...] The 2024 AARO report stated that during the time Hynek was working with Project Blue Book [the U.S. Air Force's best-known UFO investigation program], "about 75 percent of Americans trusted the [US government] 'to do the right thing almost always or most of the time.'" But, the report noted, since 2007, that number has never risen above 30 percent. "This lack of trust probably has contributed to the belief held by some subset of the U.S. population that the USG has not been truthful regarding knowledge of extraterrestrial craft."
 
Ultimately, the Air Force's efforts to stifle Hynek -- pressuring him to offer the public standard responses to questions he wasn't even allowed to ask -- appears to have backfired. Ironically, the Air Force's attempts to quiet suspicions only fueled them, leading to more conspiracy theories and distrust. People came to believe that the government was hiding the truth, contrary to Hynek's actual revelation: that, in reality, the people at the top may not care much about finding the answers after all.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeffrey Stephen Wigand revealed how tobacco companies targeted children; now he sees similar marketing by big tech</p><p>A key whistleblower in the tobacco industry’s landmark trials of the 1990s has been watching big tech’s recent <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/mar/26/us-court-social-media-meta-youtube">court battles</a> closely. Jeffrey Stephen Wigand, a biochemist who helped reveal how tobacco companies <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/data_statistics/fact_sheets/tobacco_industry/marketing/index.htm">targeted children</a> and hid just how addictive cigarettes were, has been struck with a feeling of familiarity. Last week’s <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/2026/mar/25/jury-verdict-us-first-social-media-addiction-trial-meta-youtube">verdict in a major social media trial</a> that Meta and YouTube deliberately designed addictive products has only <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/25/media/meta-google-social-media-verdict-advocates">strengthened comparisons</a> to the legal crackdown on big tobacco. Wigand sees it, too. His first thought, as he learned about the litigation in California, was that social media companies, through their advertisements, were trying to addict children – much like the tobacco industry did.</p><p>A <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/los-angeles">Los Angeles</a> jury found <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/meta">Meta</a> and <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/technology/youtube">YouTube</a> to be negligent last week. Plaintiffs’ lawyers relied heavily on internal documents and correspondence to demonstrate that company leadership dismissed concerns about how features of social media could be harmful. Meta was also found liable in a separate trial in <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/newmexico">New Mexico</a>, alleging that it had failed to prevent child sexual exploitation. These verdicts are the first time Meta has been found liable for how its products affect young people – after years of criticism, much of it from angry parents who feel social media harmed their children’s mental health.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/2026/apr/05/big-tobacco-whistleblower-social-media">Continue reading...</a>]]></content:encoded>

<p>Escalating cybersecurity threats and growing privacy concerns lurk around every corner these days. Evolving technology and mounting regulations continue to present both the perils and solutions. All players — public and private, organizations and individuals alike — are to conquer the next quest in this realm.</p>



<p>In <a href="https://www.nortonrosefulbright.com/en-us/knowledge/publications/f5b60ec8/cybersecurity-and-data-privacy">the most recent Annual Litigation Trends Survey by Norton Rose Fulbright</a>, nearly four in 10 corporate counsel respondents stated that their business’s exposure to cybersecurity and privacy disputes deepened in 2025. The actual increase in exposure also surpassed the already high expectations from the year before. Cybersecurity and privacy even claimed the fastest-rising class action hotspot.</p>



<p>Treading such treacherous waters requires constant education and setting appropriate priorities. Here are the key drivers of cybersecurity and privacy legal exposure that deserve the utmost attention:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">State-sponsored actors emboldened by sophisticated technology</h2>



<p>Heading into 2026, rising geopolitical tensions across the globe further intensify conflicts in the digital space. <a href="https://www.dataprotectionreport.com/2026/03/heightened-cyber-risks-in-the-middle-east-geopolitical-tensions-fuel-digital-conflictintroduction/">The latest developments in the Middle East have only added fuel to the long-standing cyber battlegrounds</a>. The pressure to defend against state-sponsored threat actors had already reached its peak in recent years, especially for the critical infrastructure sector. Given the additional tensions and interconnected nature of today’s digital systems through supply chains and data-sharing relationships, it will be difficult to find a sanctuary anytime soon no matter the industry.</p>



<p>The state-sponsored threat actors operate with high sophistication, leveraging the latest technology including AI, to launch attacks and maximize potential impact. Their malicious activities often result in disruption of essential services, data theft and/or illicit revenue generation. The quick adoption of the latest tools embolden the attacker moves whereas defenders pursue a more measured approach in adoption and thus take more time.</p>



<p>Furthermore, preparing for and responding to these threats are demanding not only in and of themselves, but also for the additional legal obstacles thereafter as various types of cybersecurity and privacy disputes may ensue and those may expose additional compliance gaps.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Continued federal interest in cybersecurity and privacy, especially in connection with national security concerns</h2>



<p>The evident connection between cybersecurity and privacy and national security have led to a number of federal initiatives in recent years. Most recently in March 2026, the White House announced the current administration’s <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/President-Trumps-Cyber-Strategy-for-America.pdf">Cyber Strategy for America</a>, renewing a commitment to strengthening the country’s cybersecurity posture.</p>



<p>In 2025, <a href="https://www.justice.gov/nsd/data-security">the U.S. Department of Justice Data Security Program</a> went into effect to govern certain categories of data transactions with countries of concern and covered persons as defined. Although there have been delays in the rulemaking following the passage of the <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/2471/text">Cyber Incident Reporting for Critical Infrastructure Act of 2022 (<strong>CIRCIA</strong>)</a>, [<a href="https://www.cisa.gov/topics/cyber-threats-and-advisories/information-sharing/cyber-incident-reporting-critical-infrastructure-act-2022-circia">CISA originally planned to hold town hall meetings this spring</a> regarding the CIRCIA <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/04/04/2024-06526/cyber-incident-reporting-for-critical-infrastructure-act-circia-reporting-requirements">proposed rules from 2024</a>.]</p>



<p>When it comes to enforcement, <a href="https://www.dataprotectionreport.com/2026/02/the-dojs-civil-cyber-fraud-initiative-lives-on-insights-from-cybersecurity-enforcement-through-the-false-claims-act/">the Department of Justice has indicated that its focus on cybersecurity remains strong</a>, especially with respect to <a href="https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/deputy-attorney-general-lisa-o-monaco-announces-new-civil-cyber-fraud-initiative">the Civil Cyber-Fraud Initiative, which utilizes the False Claims Act to pursue fraud related to cybersecurity by government contractors and grant recipients</a>.</p>



<p>Although the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has been less active in this space lately, the Federal Trade Commission has shown some signs of interest. In February 2026 alone, it warned data brokers of noncompliance with <a href="https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/statutes/protecting-americans-data-foreign-adversaries-act-2024-padfaa">the Protecting Americans’ Data from Foreign Adversaries Act of 2024 (<strong>PADFAA</strong>)</a> and held a <a href="https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/events/2026/02/consumer-injuries-benefits-data-driven-economy">Workshop on Consumer Injuries and Benefits in the Data-Driven Economy</a>, exploring potential implications of empirical evidence of injuries and benefits to enforcement decisions and judicial review outcomes.</p>



<p>Despite the remaining uncertainties around specific guidance and direction, it is fair to conclude that the federal pressure is still on especially for organizations with dealings with the federal government as a service provider or partner receiving sensitive information belonging to the government and/or American individuals.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Coordinated efforts from state government agencies</h2>



<p>As organizations hustle to keep up with the rapidly developing cybersecurity threat landscape and the federal government agencies prioritize a subset of issues, state government agencies are diversifying the options to fill in any regulatory and enforcement gaps.</p>



<p>California leads the way with <a href="https://cppa.ca.gov/regulations/pdf/ccpa_updates_cyber_risk_admt_appr_text.pdf">the newly in effect regulations under the California Consumer Privacy Act (<strong>CCPA</strong>)</a>, including the requirement on certain businesses <a href="https://www.dataprotectionreport.com/2026/03/getting-ready-for-californias-new-cybersecurity-audit-requirements/">to conduct comprehensive annual cybersecurity audits</a> spanning across 18 components ranging from multi-factor authentication (<strong>MFA</strong>) to incident response management. The New York Department of Financial Services also bolstered its <a href="https://www.dfs.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2023/10/rf_fs_2amend23NYCRR500_text_20231101.pdf">cybersecurity requirements for financial services companies under 23 NYCRR 500</a> earlier, with its most recent <a href="https://www.dfs.ny.gov/system/files/documents/2026/02/Cyber-Public-Training-Lets-Talk-MFA-2026-02-26.pdf">MFA guidance announced in February 2026</a>.</p>



<p>On the privacy front, state regulators are finding ways to collaborate despite the challenges stemming from the ever-expanding web of federal and state laws. In 2025, several state regulators formed a bipartisan “<a href="https://cppa.ca.gov/announcements/2025/20250416.html">Consortium of Privacy Regulators to share expertise and resources, as well as coordinate efforts to investigate potential violations of applicable laws</a>.” The Consortium members including the California Privacy Protection Agency is investing in resources to implement and enforce the laws and regulations, poised to continue addressing consumer privacy rights ranging from opt-outs to data broker oversight. Looking ahead, state regulators and enforcers are expected to solidify and expand the exchange across state and national borders and seek to address common privacy concerns such as children’s privacy and surrounding dynamic pricing, also referred to as <a href="https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/letters/letter-to-instacart-on-pricing-practices-letters-2026.pdf">algorithmic</a> or “<a href="https://oag.ca.gov/news/press-releases/data-privacy-day-attorney-general-bonta-focuses-surveillance-pricing-compliance">surveillance pricing</a>”, as part of consumer protection initiatives. As threat actors become more sophisticated, so will the defenses, governing laws and their enforcers.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Heightened risk associated with third-party service providers</h2>



<p>Notably, <a href="https://www.dataprotectionreport.com/2025/12/regulators-including-fcc-emphasize-third-party-vendor-cybersecurity-monitoring-requirements/">state regulators recognize the importance of third-party risk management as many incident occur in the third-party service provider or vendor environment</a>. Management of third parties is also a key component of <a href="https://cppa.ca.gov/regulations/pdf/ccpa_updates_cyber_risk_admt_appr_text.pdf">the CCPA regulations</a>. Prior federal regulations and guidance, too, reflect this emphasis. For example, <a href="https://www.sec.gov/files/rules/final/2023/33-11216.pdf">the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Cybersecurity Risk Management, Strategy, Governance and Incident Disclosure requirements</a> include a managing risks posed by third-party service providers. The Federal Communications Commission named third-party risk evaluation as one of the eight core best practices for preventing and mitigating ransomware attacks in its <a href="https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-26-96A1.pdf">January 2026 Public Notice</a>.</p>



<p>In the age of endless supply chain attacks, a strong cybersecurity program involves an established process for identifying and managing risks from third-party service providers. Demonstrating an effective third-party risk management in this context is not limited to preparing the paperwork alone. It also means understanding and monitoring the actual practices of the third-party service providers at hand and continuing to seek further improvements.  </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Growing seeds of conflict — whistleblowers and creative litigants</h2>



<p>The days of only widely publicized data breaches leading to relatively simple class action lawsuits are far behind us. There has been a proliferation of cybersecurity and privacy claims due to the increasing number of laws and regulations alongside creative arguments manifested in government enforcement initiatives, strike forces and lawsuits making use of broad interpretation of old laws.</p>



<p>The False Claims Act, originally of the Civil War era, illustrates this point. Federal government (and state governments with their corresponding laws), may rely on private whistleblowers who make <em>qui tam </em>filings on behalf of the government under this law. In fact, <a href="https://www.dataprotectionreport.com/2026/02/the-dojs-civil-cyber-fraud-initiative-lives-on-insights-from-cybersecurity-enforcement-through-the-false-claims-act/">the Department of Justice is looking to rely on whistleblowers as key sources for detecting potential noncompliance related to cybersecurity</a>. State regulators are evaluating how this approach may be replicated not only under the state False Claims Act, but in other state laws. Many state regulators rely heavily on consumer complaints in forming the agenda. As the world becomes more cybersecurity and privacy-conscious, inaccurate statements around cybersecurity and privacy are projected to have greater impact.</p>



<p>It is no longer a surprise to see organizations simultaneously face cybersecurity attacks, immediately filed class action lawsuits and investigations based on whistleblower allegations. Without strategic development and refinement of processes to identify, escalate and investigate cybersecurity and privacy concerns as appropriateffganizations may easily get swept into a whirlwind of legal troubles.</p>



<p>These trends call for organizations to take a moment and assess where they stand in their cybersecurity and privacy journey. Consider going back to the basics and asking some fundamental questions:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>What information does the organization handle?</li>



<li>How is the information used? With whom is it shared?</li>



<li>What measures are in place to safeguard that information?</li>



<li>What cybersecurity and privacy obligations does the organization carry?</li>



<li>Who is responsible for identifying and performing these obligations?</li>



<li>How does the organization raise awareness and train appropriate personnel?</li>



<li>What statements does the organization make regarding its cybersecurity and privacy practices?</li>



<li>How are cybersecurity and privacy concerns raised and investigated?</li>



<li>How does the organization identify and implement areas for improvement?</li>



<li>Who oversees cybersecurity and risk management? How?</li>
</ul>



<p>If an answer to any of these questions is unclear, it is time to roll up the sleeves and prioritize the to-do list.</p>

We discuss:</p> <ul> <li>What to be aware of when deploying GenAI</li> <li>Key use cases and successes organizations are having with GenAI</li> <li>Some of the risks to be aware of</li> <li>How to prepare employees for GenAI</li> <li>Best practices to prepare for evolving threats</li> </ul> <p>For decades, security teams have been focused on preventing and detecting threats, only to find themselves buried so deep in alerts, they can't detect anything at all! We clearly need a different approach, which will be the topic of our conversation today with Marty. We'll be discussing a shift in philosophy and tactics. We'll discuss whether SecOps has a hoarding problem, and possible paths out of the current situation preventing today's teams from successfully detecting attacks. Finally, we'll discuss the impact AI has on all this (if any).</p> <p>Segment Resources:</p> <ul> <li><a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://netography.com/why-its-time-to-evolve-from-threat-centric-to-compromise-centric-security/"> Why It's Time to Evolve from Threat-centric to Compromise-centric Security</a></li> <li><a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://netography.com/compromise-detection/">Evolve from Threat-Centric to Compromise-Centric Security</a></li> <li><a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://netography.com/how-to-close-the-visibility-gaps-across-your-multi-cloud-environment/"> How to Close the Visibility Gaps Across Your Multi-Cloud Environment</a></li> <li><a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://netography.com/defend-hpc-data-centers/">Defend HPC Data Centers with Frictionless Security &amp; Observability</a></li> </ul> <p>We've made a slight tweak to the news format, only focusing on the most interesting funding and acquisition stories. As always, you can go check out Mike Privette's <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://returnonsecurity.com/">Return on Security newsletter</a> for the full list of funded and acquired companies every week.</p> <p>This week, we discuss two $100M+ rounds, from Huntress and Semperis. We also discuss NetSPI's acquisition of Hubble, and the future of the CAASM market.</p> <p>We focus on the important of detection engineering, echoing some of Martin Roesch's thoughts from our interview with him just before the news. One story is from the excellent DFIR report, a website and newsletter you should absolutely be subscribed to if detection engineering is important to you. The other story is from Thinkst, and showcases their ability to create file share honeypots with file listings that can now be tailored to specific industries.</p> <p>We discuss the results of some polls that RSnake ran on Twitter, to get feedback from folks on what they think about these models where CISOs are reportedly getting kickbacks for buying products from companies they advise.</p> <p>We also discuss the latest whistleblower insights about Microsoft and the state of security there, and the recent Polyfill.io incident that targeted over 100k websites with malware.</p> <p>Finally, we spend the rest of the news segment discussing the current state of Generative AI, from our own perspectives, but also through the lens of Bruce Schneier's latest blog post, a year old post from Marc Andreesen, and a rage-fueled rant from an angry Aussie.</p> <p>Don't miss the squirrel story - we highly recommend sending it to all your PhD friends (or not, if they're easily insulted and/or likely to hold a grudge).</p> <p>Visit <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://www.securityweekly.com/esw">https://www.securityweekly.com/esw</a> for all the latest episodes!</p> <p>Show Notes: <a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://securityweekly.com/esw-366">https://securityweekly.com/esw-366</a></p>]]></content:encoded>

In 2025, $6.8 billion in fines were collected across 1,297 whistleblower-driven cases. For defense contractors and others handling regulated data, frameworks like NIST 800-171 and CMMC are written directly into contractual requirements.<br />
<br />
Cybersecurity compliance is not optional language in a slide deck—it’s a legally binding commitment. If an organization claims it meets required standards but fails to implement or maintain those controls, that gap can become the basis for litigation. Whistleblowers, internal disputes, or external investigations can trigger significant financial and reputational consequences.<br />
<br />
When your organization says it is compliant, is that statement backed by evidence, continuous validation, and executive oversight—or is it a risk waiting to surface?<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Remember that lawsuit questioning WhatsApp's end-to-end encryption? Thursday Bloomberg reported those allegations had been investigated by special agents with America's Commerce Department, "according to the law enforcement records, as well as a person familiar with the matter and one of the contractors."

Similar claims were also the subject of a 2024 whistleblower complaint to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, according to the records and the person, who spoke on the condition that they not be identified out of concern for potential retaliation. The investigation and whistleblower complaint haven't been previously reported... 

Last year, two people who did content moderation work for WhatsApp told an investigator with Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security that some staff at Meta have been able to see the content of WhatsApp messages, according to the agent's report summarizing the interviews. [A spokesperson for the Bureau later told Bloomberg that investigator's assertions were "unsubstantiated and outside the scope of his authority as an export enforcement agent."] Those content moderators, who worked for Meta through a contract with the management and technology consulting firm Accenture Plc, also alleged that they and some of their colleagues had broad access to the substance of WhatsApp messages that were supposed to be encrypted and inaccessible, according to the report. "Both sources confirmed that they had employees within their physical work locations who had unfettered access to WhatsApp," wrote the agent... One of the content moderators who told the investigator she had access said she also "spoke with a Facebook team employee and confirmed that they could go back aways into WhatsApp (encrypted) messages, stating that they worked cases that involved criminal actions," according to the document... 

The investigator's report, dated July 2025, described the investigation as "ongoing," includes a case number and dubs the inquiry "Operation Sourced Encryption..." The inquiry was active as recently as January, according to a person familiar with the matter. The inquiry's current status and who may be the defined target are both unclear. Many investigations end without any formal accusations of wrongdoing... 


WhatsApp on its website says it does, in some instances, allow information about messages to be seen by the company. If someone reports a user or group for problematic messages, "WhatsApp receives up to five of the last messages they've sent to you" and "the user or group won't be notified," the company says. In those cases, WhatsApp says it receives the "group or user ID, information on when the message was sent, and the type of message sent (image, video, text, etc.)." Former contractors outlined much broader access. Larkin Fordyce was an Accenture contractor who the report says an agent interviewed about content moderation work for Meta. Fordyce told the investigator he spent years doing this work out of an Austin, Texas office starting as early as the end of 2018. He said moderators eventually were granted their own access to WhatsApp, but even before that they could request access to communications and "the Facebook team was able to 'pull whatever they wanted and then send it,'" the report states... 

The agent also gathered records that were filed in the whistleblower complaint to the SEC, according to his report, which doesn't describe the materials... The status of the whistleblower complaint is unclear.
 
Some key points from the article:


"The investigative report seen by Bloomberg doesn't include a technical explanation of the contractors' claims."

"A spokesperson for Meta, which acquired WhatsApp in 2014, said the contractors' claims are impossible."
 One contractor "said that there was little vetting" of foreign nationals hired to do content moderation for Meta, saying this granted them "full access to the same portal to review" content moderation cases

<content:encoded><![CDATA[An anonymous reader quotes a report from the Associated Press: Japan's nuclear watchdog said Wednesday it is scrapping the safety screening for two reactors at the Hamaoka nuclear power plant in central Japan, after its operator was found to have fabricated data about earthquake risks. It was a setback to Japan's attempts to accelerate nuclear reactor restarts. Less than a quarter of commercial nuclear reactors are operational in the wake of the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi meltdowns, but rising energy costs and pressure to reduce carbon emissions have pushed the government to prioritize nuclear power.
 
Chubu Electric Power Co. had applied for safety screening to resume operations at the No. 3 and 4 reactors at the Hamaoka plant in 2014 and 2015. Two other reactors at the plant are being decommissioned, and a fifth is idle. The plant, about 200 kilometers (125 miles) west of Tokyo, is located on a coastal area known for potential risks from so-called Nankai Trough megaquakes. The Nuclear Regulation Authority said it started an internal investigation last February, after receiving a tip from a whistleblower that the utility had for years provided fabricated data that underestimated potential seismic risks. The regulator suspended the screening for the reactors after it confirmed the falsification and the utility acknowledged the fabrication in mid-December, said Shinsuke Yamanaka, the watchdog's chair. The NRA is also considering inspecting the utility headquarters.
 
[...] The scandal surfaced Monday when Chubu Electric President Kingo Hayashi acknowledged that workers at the utility used inappropriate seismic data with an alleged intention to underestimate seismic risks. He apologized and pledged to establish an independent panel for investigation. The screening, including data that had been approved earlier, would have to start from scratch or possibly be rejected entirely, Yamanaka said. The NRA will decide on the case next week, without waiting for the utility's probe results, he said. "Ensuring safety is the first and foremost responsibility for nuclear plant operators," Yamanaka said. "It is outrageous and it's a serious challenge to safety regulation."<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[A viral Reddit "whistleblower" post accusing a major food delivery app of systemic exploitation is "most likely AI-generated," reports the Verge. From the report: The original post by user Trowaway_whistleblow alleged that an unnamed food delivery company regularly delays customer orders, calls couriers "human assets," and exploits their "desperation" for cash, among other indefensible actions. Nearly 90,000 upvotes and four days later, it's become increasingly clear that the post's text is probably AI-generated. Considering the delivery app industry track record of exploitation of its drivers, it's easy to see why so many people believed this was the real thing.
 
The Verge put the original 586-word Reddit post through several free online AI detectors, in addition to Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude. The results were mixed: Copyleaks, GPTZero, Pangram, Gemini, and Claude all pegged it as likely AI-generated, but ZeroGPT and QuillBot both reported it as human-written. ChatGPT played it down the middle. Reached by The Verge on Signal, Trowaway_whistleblow provided an image of an Uber Eats employee badge. That image was generated or edited with Google AI, according to Gemini. The image shows an Uber Eats logo above two black boxes, presumably covering an employee name and photo, and the words "senior software engineer." It's odd that an engineer's badge would have the Uber Eats logo, and not the Uber logo, according to Gemini. That, in addition to slightly misaligned words and warped coloration at the edge of the green border, are reasons Gemini thinks it's inauthentic. (Uber later confirmed that Uber Eats-branded employee badges do not exist.) "Not only are the claims fake, but they're also dead wrong," Uber spokesperson Noah Edwardsen told The Verge. Uber Eats' Andrew Macdonald wrote on X, "This post is definitively not about us. I suspect it is completely made up. Don't trust everything you read on the internet."
 
DoorDash CEO Tony Xu also denied the redditor's "appalling" allegations. "This is not DoorDash, and I would fire anyone who promoted or tolerated the kind of culture described in this Reddit post," Xu said in a post on X.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

Use a Friend’s or Family Member’s Phone (Safest if They Aren’t Targeted)</strong></p> <p>As long as <em>their</em> device isn’t compromised, the call remains anonymous.</p> <p>Crime Stoppers does <strong>not trace</strong>:</p> <ul> <li>caller identity</li> <li>phone number</li> <li>location</li> <li>recording</li> </ul> <p>So the phone you use does <strong>not</strong> get linked to you.</p> <p><strong>3.

Use a Work Phone or Break-Room Phone</strong></p> <p>Many workplaces allow anonymous outward calling.</p> <p>Crime Stoppers does not tie the call to:</p> <ul> <li>the workplace</li> <li>your position</li> <li>your name</li> </ul> <p><strong>9. Use a Shelter, Community Center, YMCA, or Church Phone</strong></p> <p>These places nearly always have:</p> <ul> <li>office phones</li> <li>lobby phones</li> <li>staff phones</li> </ul> <p>You can ask for <strong>anonymous Crime Stoppers reporting use only</strong>.</p> <p><strong>WHAT NOT TO USE (If You Suspect Hacking)</strong></p> <p>To stay safe, avoid:</p> <ul> <li>your own phone (if compromised)</li> <li>your own home computer</li> <li>your own Wi-Fi</li> <li>any device with spyware concerns</li> <li>any phone account tied to your name</li> </ul> <p><strong>The Simplest, Realistic Safe Choices</strong></p> <p><strong>For most people today, the safest options are:</strong></p> <ol> <li><strong>Library phone</strong></li> <li><strong>Friend’s phone</strong></li> <li><strong>Campus office phone</strong></li> <li><strong>Burner phone bought with cash</strong></li> <li><strong>Library computer</strong></li> </ol> <p>These are accessible in every U.S. city, and each one protects your identity completely.</p> <p> <strong>Help Crime Stoppers Stomp Out Crime!</strong></p> <p>Crime Stoppers of Will County needs your help to stomp out crime.

Be alert!</strong></p> <p>Keep your head up and be aware of your surroundings. Try not to put yourself into dangerous situations. Be extra cautious when you are walking alone. Do not talk on your cell phone while walking because it is a distraction. Instead, keep a cell phone handy if you need to call for help.</p> <p> <strong>2. Vary your routines.</strong></p> <p>Predictability makes you a more likely target. Try to leave your house and office at different times. If you don’t have the exact same schedule every day, it will much more difficult for a criminal to track you.</p> <p> <strong>3. Lock it!</strong></p> <p>Locks are your first line of defense at home, at the office, or in your car. Just because you feel that you live in a safe neighborhood does not mean outsiders don’t pass through your town. Be extra careful to lock your car doors when parked in the driveway if you have a garage door opener inside the car.</p> <p> <strong>4. Make your home a tough target.</strong></p> <p>Use floodlights, motion sensors, a security system, deadbolts, etc. Installing these safety measures will deter many thieves from attempting to break in. Use yard stakes and window clings to show everyone that you have a security system active in your home. Avoid hiding a key outside your front door. Fake rocks are just as obvious to robbers as they are to you.</p> <p> <strong>5. Avoid car theft.</strong></p> <p>Lock your doors. Keep the sunroof closed and roll up your windows when parked. Use an anti-theft device. Turn the wheels when you park. Never leave a spare key inside the car. Be sure to park in a well-lit place. Put packages in the trunk so you won’t tempt people that are walking by.</p> <p> <strong>6. Foil car-jackers.</strong></p> <p>Keep windows and doors locked, check mirrors and blind spots when stopped. Stay one to one and a half lengths away from the car ahead of you. Sound your horn and flash your lights if you think you’re being approached by a car-jacker. Keep your cell phone nearby to phone the police.</p> <p> <strong>7. Avoid identity theft.</strong></p> <p>Keep your Social Security card in a secure place and give out the number only when necessary. Guard your purse or wallet. Limit the number of checks and debit/credit cards you carry to only what you will actually need. Check credit card and bank statements carefully for unauthorized charges. Close credit card accounts you don’t use on a regular basis. Shred all documents containing personal information. Monitor your credit score regularly. Always be leery of any mail or emails telling you that you will receive money or a check. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.</p> <p> <strong>8. Be safe while using an ATM.</strong></p> <p>Avoid using ATMs on the corner of buildings because corners create a blind spot. Be aware of your surroundings and only use ATMs that are in well-lit locations. Do not allow people to look over your shoulder as you enter your pin. Wait until you are in your car or another secure place to count your cash. Limit the amount of time you spend at the ATM; standing around could make you a target for theft.</p> <p> <strong>9. Protect yourself in a parking garage.</strong></p> <p>Parking garages are the second most likely place for violent crimes to occur. Never park next to a van with no windows; you will not be able to see if someone is lurking inside. Try to park nearest to the entrance, or in open, well-lit areas. Approach your vehicle with your keys already in your hand. Do a quick scan of your vehicle’s interior including the back seat before unlocking the door. Keep your doors locked and your windows closed. Trust your instinct, if you do not feel comfortable ask a security officer to escort you to your vehicle. Report any suspicious activity immediately to security.<br> Prevent purse and wallet theft.</p> <p> <strong>10. Be aware of your surroundings and who is nearby.</strong></p> <p>Don’t be afraid to cross the street or ask for help based on a “funny feeling”. You may be right! Minimize the opportunity for loss by carrying only small amounts of cash, leaving your expensive jewelry and valuables at home, and taking only the credit cards you know you’ll use that day with you. If you must carry a large amount of cash or valuable items, do not carry them in your handbag or wallet. Carry valuables in an inside pocket. Handbags should be closed and held tightly to your body. A bag dangling by your side is much easier for a thief to grab on the run. Be especially cautious in busy stores, shopping districts, at public events, on buses, and at bus stops. Thieves are attracted to crowds.</p> <p> <strong>Above all, use common sense. Make sure that you share and practice these safety measures with your children, family, and friends.</strong></p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/CryHavoc3000"> /u/CryHavoc3000 </a> <br> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ComputerSecurity/comments/1pyfmdx/information_about_howwhere_to_report_internet/">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ComputerSecurity/comments/1pyfmdx/information_about_howwhere_to_report_internet/">[comments]</a></span>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Die automatisierten Zielsysteme des israelischen Militärs zeigen gut, wie KI-baserte Kriegsautomatisierung aktuell aussieht, was daran falsch läuft und warum wir Techies uns einmischen müssen

Das Thema „KI in der Militärtechnik“ und die Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Maschine ist seit Jahrzehnten ein Thema in der Friedensbewegung, der Konfliktforschung, der Philosophie, den Sozialwissenschaften und den kritischen Data &amp; Algorithm Studies. Doch in den letzten Jahren wurden Waffensysteme mit KI-Komponenten entwickelt und auch praktisch in bewaffneten Konflikten eingesetzt. Dabei reicht die Anwendung von Drohnensteuerung über optische Zielerfassung bis hin zur logistischen Zielauswahl. Am Beispiel KI-gestützter Zielwahlsysteme, die vom israelischen Militär seit Mai 2021 und insbesondere jetzt im Genozid in Gaza eingesetzt werden, können die aktuellen technischen Entwicklungen aufgezeigt und analysiert werden. Im Fokus dieses Talks stehen vier KI-unterstützte Systeme: Das System Gospel zur militärischen Bewertung von Gebäuden, das System Lavender zur militärischen Bewertung von Personen, das System Where's Daddy? zur Zeitplanung von Angriffen und ein experimentelles System auf Basis großer Sprachmodelle zur Erkennung militärisch relevanter Nachrichten in palästinensischen Kommunikationsdaten.

Auf Basis der Aussagen von Whistleblower:innen des israelischen Militärs und Angestellten beteiligter Unternehmen wie Amazon, Google oder Microsoft sowie internen Dokumenten, die durch investigative Recherchen von mehreren internationalen Teams von Journalist:innen veröffentlicht wurden, können die Systeme und Designentscheidungen technisch detailliert beschrieben, kritisch analysiert sowie die militärischen und gesellschaftlichen Implikationen herausgearbeitet und diskutiert werden. Dabei entstehen auch Fragen bezüglich Verantwortungsverlagerung durch KI, Umgehung des Völkerrechts sowie die grundsätzliche Rolle von automatisierter Kriegsführung.

Am Schluss geht der Vortrag noch auf die Verantwortung von IT-Fachleuten ein, die ja das Wissen und Verständnis dieser Systeme mitbringen und daher überhaupt erst problematisieren können, wenn Systeme erweiterte oder gänzlich andere Funktionen erfüllen, als öffentlich und politisch oft kommuniziert und diskutiert wird. Überlegungen zu Handlungsoptionen und Auswegen leiten zuletzt die Diskussion ein.

Was machen soziale Netzwerke mit unserem Gehirn? Eine zentrale Rolle hierbei spielt Dopamin, ein Neurotransmitter. Die Doku zeigt, wie die "Mensch-App-Beziehung" funktioniert - und wie es gelingen kann, die Fremdbestimmung besser zu kontrollieren. </p> <p>Weltweit gibt es über drei Milliarden Smartphone-Nutzer – die meisten verbringen immer mehr Zeit mit sozialen Netzwerken. Was aber passiert dabei in unserem Gehirn, wenn ein Leben ohne Apps für manche fast schon unmöglich erscheint? Eine Schlüsselrolle hierbei spielt ganz offenbar Dopamin, ein Neurotransmitter. Er hat entscheidenden Einfluss auf unsere Motivation, unser Lernen und unsere Gewohnheiten. In Paris, Philadelphia, Amsterdam oder auch Berlin versuchen Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler zu verstehen, was genau beim Umgang mit diesen Apps geschieht. Dopamin wirkt anscheinend auf das Belohnungssystem im Gehirn – und kann im Extremfall sogar zu Zwanghaftigkeit führen, zu einem Streben nach immer mehr Likes oder Herzen. Bleiben sie aus, gibt es Frust, manchmal sogar psychische Probleme. Inzwischen warnen Whistleblower wie Frances Haugen, eine ehemalige Facebook-Mitarbeiterin, vor den Gefahren der scheinbar allmächtig gewordenen sozialen Netzwerke. Denn auch Tech-Unternehmen haben eigene wissenschaftliche Forschungslabore, die auf undurchsichtige Weise experimentieren. Die ARTE-Dokumentation zeigt, mit welchen Tricks diese Firmen arbeiten – und wie es möglich sein kann, den permanenten Aufforderungen des Smartphones zu entkommen. Denn es gibt Auswege aus der „Dopamin-Falle“: Das Wichtigste ist, seinen eigenen Umgang mit Apps kritisch zu hinterfragen und die Mechanismen zu kennen, denen User ausgesetzt sind. Der Film erklärt auf spielerische und humorvolle Weise die vielschichtige Mensch-App-Beziehung und auch, wie es gelingen kann, wieder mehr Kontrolle im eigenen Alltag zurückzugewinnen. </p> <p>Dokumentation von Léo Favier (F 2023, 52 Min)"</p> </div><!-- SC_ON -->   submitted by   <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/Horus_Sirius"> /u/Horus_Sirius </a> <br> <span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlobvoWif1E">[link]</a></span>   <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Computersicherheit/comments/1pnffuw/die_dopaminfalle_doku_hd_reupload_arte_noch_immer/">[comments]</a></span> </td></tr></table>]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[A former Chinese official who fled to the U.S. says Beijing has used advanced surveillance technology from U.S. companies to track, intimidate, and punish him and his family across borders. ABC News reports: Retired Chinese official Li Chuanliang was recuperating from cancer on a Korean resort island when he got an urgent call: Don't return to China, a friend warned. You're now a fugitive. Days later, a stranger snapped a photo of Li in a cafe. Terrified South Korea would send him back, Li fled, flew to the U.S. on a tourist visa and applied for asylum. But even there -- in New York, in California, deep in the Texas desert -- the Chinese government continued to hunt him down with the help of surveillance technology.
 
Li's communications were monitored, his assets seized and his movements followed in police databases. More than 40 friends and relatives -- including his pregnant daughter -- were identified and detained, even by tracking down their cab drivers through facial recognition software. Three former associates died in detention, and for months shadowy men Li believed to be Chinese operatives stalked him across continents, interviews and documents seen by The Associated Press show.
 
The Chinese government is using an increasingly powerful tool to cement its power at home and vastly amplify it abroad: Surveillance technology, much of it originating in the U.S., an AP investigation has found. Within China, this technology helped identify and punish almost 900,000 officials last year alone, nearly five times more than in 2012, according to state numbers. Beijing says it is cracking down on corruption, but critics charge that such technology is used in China and elsewhere to stifle dissent and exact retribution on perceived enemies.
 
Outside China, the same technology is being used to threaten wayward officials, along with dissidents and alleged criminals, under what authorities call Operations "Fox Hunt" and "Sky Net." The U.S. has criticized these overseas operations as a "threat" and an "affront to national sovereignty." More than 14,000 people, including some 3,000 officials, have been brought back to China from more than 120 countries through coercion, arrests and pressure on relatives, according to state information.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

That said, the open data portal and the former Tor-compatible whistleblower system remain inaccessible. CyberInsider reports: The development follows a long period of digital censorship that spanned two full six-year presidential terms, those of Enrique Pena Nieto and Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, and continued into the early months of Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo's current administration.

<p>Ein harmloses Facebook-Quiz. Ein Klick auf „Zustimmen“. Und plötzlich fließen Millionen von Datensätzen in die Hände einer Firma, die mit diesen Daten vermeintlich US-Wahlen beeinflusste. Cambridge Analytica steht bis heute für einen der größten Datenskandale der digitalen Geschichte.</p>



<p>In unserem Podcast <strong>„Zukunft von gestern“</strong> erzählen <a href="https://www.instagram.com/simongabesschon/?hl=de">Simon Lohmann</a> und <a href="https://www.instagram.com/dennis.steimels/">Dennis Steimels</a>  die wahre Geschichte hinter diesem globalen Skandal – von den ersten Experimenten mit Facebook-Daten bis zu den politischen Erschütterungen, die die Welt veränderten.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ein harmloser Klick mit Folgen</h2>



<p>2013 startete der Psychologe <strong>Aleksandr Kogan</strong> an der Universität Cambridge ein unscheinbares Forschungsprojekt: eine Facebook-App mit dem harmlos klingenden Namen <em>„thisisyourdigitallife“</em>. Nutzer sollten einfache Fragen beantworten – ein Persönlichkeitstest, wie man ihn damals täglich im Newsfeed sah. Doch hinter diesem Quiz steckte weit mehr: Wer zustimmte, gab Zugriff auf seine persönlichen Daten frei – und auf die Daten all seiner Freunde.</p>



<p>Ohne es zu ahnen, öffneten Millionen Nutzer damit einem Datenriesen die Tür. Was zunächst als wissenschaftliches Experiment gedacht war, wurde zum Grundstein eines Geschäftsmodells: dem <strong>Microtargeting</strong> – also der gezielten Beeinflussung von Menschen durch personalisierte Werbung.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wie Cambridge Analytica zur Datenwaffe wurde</h2>



<p>Die gesammelten Daten landeten bei <strong>Cambridge Analytica</strong>, einem Unternehmen, das vorgab, Wähler besser zu verstehen – und damit politische Kampagnen zu optimieren. Tatsächlich nutzte die Firma die Profile, um Wähler gezielt zu manipulieren.</p>



<p>Das Prinzip war einfach, aber perfide: Anhand des sogenannten <strong>OCEAN-Modells</strong> (Offenheit, Gewissenhaftigkeit, Extraversion, Verträglichkeit, Neurotizismus) wurden psychologische Profile erstellt. Wer als ängstlich galt, bekam Werbeanzeigen, die Angst schürten. Wer als aufgeschlossen galt, erhielt Botschaften, die Neugier oder Idealismus ansprachen. So sollte jeder Mensch genau die politische Botschaft erhalten, die am besten zu seiner Persönlichkeit passte.</p>



<p>Cambridge Analytica prahlte später damit, durch diese Methode maßgeblich an der Wahlkampagne von <strong>Donald Trump</strong> beteiligt gewesen zu sein. Ob das tatsächlich den Wahlausgang beeinflusste, bleibt bis heute umstritten – die Manipulationsmöglichkeiten aber sind real.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Der Whistleblower, der alles veränderte</h2>



<p>Im Jahr 2018 platzte die Bombe: <strong>Christopher Wylie</strong>, ein früherer Mitarbeiter von Cambridge Analytica, trat an die Öffentlichkeit und packte aus. Er enthüllte, dass das Unternehmen ohne Zustimmung der Nutzer Millionen Facebook-Profile gesammelt hatte – und diese Daten gezielt für politische Zwecke einsetzte.</p>



<p>Die Enthüllung löste weltweite Empörung aus. Facebook-Chef <strong>Mark Zuckerberg</strong> musste sich vor dem US-Kongress rechtfertigen. Die US-Verbraucherschutzbehörde FTC verhängte eine Rekordstrafe von fünf Milliarden Dollar gegen Facebook – die größte Datenschutzstrafe, die bis dahin je ausgesprochen wurde.</p>



<p>Doch die eigentliche Frage blieb: <strong>Wie konnte es so weit kommen?</strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ein System, das bis heute existiert</h2>



<p>Viele glaubten, der Skandal sei der Wendepunkt im Umgang mit Nutzerdaten. Doch die Wahrheit ist: Microtargeting lebt weiter – subtiler, raffinierter und globaler als je zuvor. Auch in Deutschland setzen Parteien bei Wahlen auf datengestützte Kampagnen, um Zielgruppen gezielt mit bestimmten Botschaften zu erreichen.</p>



<p>Offiziell betonen sie zwar, keine sensiblen Daten zu verwenden. Doch Recherchen zeigen, dass Anzeigen nach Herkunft, Interessen oder religiöser Zugehörigkeit ausgespielt werden – genau jene Mechanismen also, die Cambridge Analytica so berüchtigt machten.</p>



<p>Das zeigt: Der Skandal ist kein abgeschlossenes Kapitel, sondern eine Mahnung. Eine Mahnung an Nutzer, achtsamer mit ihren Daten umzugehen. Und an Plattformen, Verantwortung zu übernehmen. Denn wenn Daten zur Waffe werden, steht mehr auf dem Spiel als nur Privatsphäre – es geht um Vertrauen in Demokratie und Wahrheit selbst.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Worum geht es im Podcast Zukunft von gestern?</h2>



<p>„Zukunft von gestern“ erzählt die größten Momente der Technikgeschichte: Innovationen, Skandale, Aufstiege und Untergänge. Mit fesselndem Storytelling, spannenden Diskussionen und Insider-Einblicken lassen wir die verrücktesten Wendepunkte der Tech-Welt lebendig werden. Von bahnbrechenden Produkten wie dem iPhone oder Bitcoin bis hin zu legendären Skandalen wie dem Facebook-Datenskandal oder Cambridge Analytica – wir tauchen tief ein in Geschichten, die die digitale Welt bis heute prägen.</p>



<p>Und in unserem neuen, kürzeren Format “Tech Legenden” sprechen wir über Menschen wie Hedy Lamarr, die ihrer Zeit voraus waren und etwas zur Tech-Geschichte beigetragen haben, ohne die es die heutige digitale Welt so nicht geben würde.</p>

<p>Stellen Sie sich vor, Sie sitzen in einem Hotelzimmer in Hongkong. Draußen tobt der tropische Regen, drinnen liegen Festplatten voller streng geheimer Dokumente der NSA. Sie wissen, dass diese Daten beweisen, wie der mächtigste Geheimdienst der Welt die Kommunikation von Millionen Menschen überwacht – ohne deren Wissen.</p>



<p>Und Sie wissen, dass Sie mit einem Klick alles verlieren könnten: Ihre Freiheit, Ihr Zuhause, vielleicht sogar Ihr Leben. Genau in dieser Situation befand sich Edward Snowden im Sommer 2013.</p>



<p>In der <strong>neuen Folge unseres Podcasts <em>„Zukunft von Gestern“</em></strong> erzählen Simon Lohmann und Dennis Steimels die packende Geschichte des größten Geheimnis-Leaks der modernen Zeit: Wie aus einem unscheinbaren IT-Experten ein globales Symbol für Wahrheit, Freiheit und digitale Selbstbestimmung wurde – und warum seine Enthüllungen bis heute nachwirken.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Vom IT-Nerd zum Whistleblower</h2>



<p>Snowden arbeitete als Systemadministrator für die NSA, als er auf interne Programme stieß, die jeden Aspekt digitaler Kommunikation erfassen konnten: E-Mails, Chats, Fotos, sogar Telefonmetadaten. Was als Schutz vor Terror begann, entpuppte sich als beispiellose Massenüberwachung.</p>



<p>Snowden entschied: Er kann nicht länger schweigen. Er kopierte die Beweise, floh nach Hongkong und kontaktierte ausgewählte Journalisten – darunter Glenn Greenwald vom <em>Guardian</em> und Filmemacherin Laura Poitras. Das Treffen im Hotel Mira in Hongkong wurde zur Geburtsstunde eines weltweiten Skandals.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PRISM, XKeyscore, Boundless Informant – Überwachung ohne Grenzen</h2>



<p>Kurz darauf folgten die Enthüllungen: PRISM, XKeyscore, Boundless Informant – Programme, die wie aus einem dystopischen Roman klingen, aber real existierten. Die USA zapften Glasfaserkabel an, lasen Cloud-Server großer Tech-Konzerne mit, verfolgten die Online-Aktivitäten von Millionen Unschuldigen. Die Welt war schockiert – und plötzlich hatte das anonyme Gesicht des Leaks einen Namen: Edward Snowden.</p>



<p>Er wurde zum Staatsfeind für die USA, aber für viele Menschen zum Helden. Während die US-Regierung ihn bis heute wegen Geheimnisverrats anklagen will, sehen andere in ihm den Mann, der den digitalen Schleier zerriss.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Der Preis der Wahrheit: Leben im Exil</h2>



<p>Seit über zehn Jahren lebt Snowden im Exil – inzwischen in Russland, wo er 2022 die Staatsbürgerschaft erhielt. Er bleibt Symbolfigur und Mahner zugleich. Denn während unsere Kommunikation heute besser geschützt ist, haben sich neue Formen der Überwachung etabliert – gezieltes Hacking statt Massenüberwachung. Die Frage, wie viel Freiheit wir für Sicherheit opfern, ist aktueller denn je.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Was sich durch Snowdens Leak verändert hat</h2>



<p>Seine Enthüllungen führten zu echten Reformen. In den USA wurde das massenhafte Sammeln von Telefondaten eingeschränkt, in Europa rückte Datenschutz stärker ins Zentrum der Politik – die DSGVO ist ein indirektes Erbe dieser Debatte.</p>



<p>Auch technisch änderte sich viel: Verschlüsselung wurde zum Standard, sichere Messenger und HTTPS-Verbindungen sind heute selbstverständlich. Gleichzeitig verlagerte sich Überwachung in neue Bereiche – weg von der Massenüberwachung hin zu gezielten Hacker-Angriffen auf Geräte.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Worum geht es im Podcast Zukunft von gestern?</h2>



<p>„Zukunft von gestern“ erzählt die größten Momente der Technikgeschichte: Innovationen, Skandale, Aufstiege und Untergänge.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[French prosecutors have opened a cybercrime investigation into how Apple handles voice recordings collected by Siri. The Paris prosecutor’s office said the case has been referred to the Office for Combating Cybercrime, focusing on whether Apple’s collection and review of audio complies with privacy law.



Apple says Siri audio sharing is opt‑in and used only to improve the assistant. The company’s policy allows some recordings to be retained for analysis and reviewed by human graders to assess accuracy. Apple pointed to its January privacy update reiterating those practices.



The probe reportedly follows a complaint from French human‑rights group Ligue des droits de l’Homme, which cited whistleblower testimony about contractors hearing sensitive snippets triggered by accidental activations. Investigators are expected to examine consent, retention periods, and safeguards for any third‑party review.



Why it matters: Europe has steadily tightened scrutiny of U.S. tech firms on privacy and data handling. A formal probe could lead to fines or changes in how Siri recordings are processed in the EU.



What you can do now



Concerned about past snippets on your devices? You can delete Siri &amp; Dictation history and reduce false triggers by stopping Siri from randomly activating. For broader context, here’s how Apple Intelligence approaches privacy.]]></content:encoded>

Breaking into the car or the safe or anyone who might be connected to the case doesn’t create a moral quandary. I only wish I had wrapped up the cover case first.

Meanwhile, Poirot is on a boat on the Nile, dealing with some incredibly annoying murder suspects. He has to coax them to offer information or rely on the environment to reveal what they try to hide. The case’s shape is starting to emerge, but the little gray cells have plenty of work to do before the entire truth is revealed.

Agatha Christie - Death on the Nile is developed by Microids Studio Lyon and published by Microids.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[In a debate on employment rights, a U.K. Parliament member brought up Meta's former director of global public policy Sarah Wynn-Williams

Louise Haigh, the former Labour transport secretary, said Wynn-Williams was facing a fine of $50,000 (£37,000) every time she breached an order secured by Meta preventing her from talking disparagingly about the company... "I am sure that the whole house and the government will stand with Sarah as we pass this legislation to ensure that whistleblowers and those with the moral courage to speak out are always protected...." 

Meta has emphasised that Wynn-Williams entered into the non-disparagement agreement voluntarily as part of her departure. Meta said that to date, Wynn-Williams had not been forced to make any payments under the agreement... [The ruling came after Wynn-Williams published an exposé in March about her time at Facebook titled Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism.] The ruling stated Wynn-Williams should stop promoting the book and, to the extent she could, stop further publication... Wynn-Williams has not spoken in public since appearing at the Senate hearing in April.
 

Wynn-Williams "remains silenced" according to her lawyer, who tells the Guardian that Meta's arbitration proceedings in the U.K. "threaten to bankrupt" the whistleblower.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<p>By outsourcing business functions, CIOs can reap cost and, in some cases, expertise benefits, but they also reallocate risk from in-house talent to employees of third-party firms largely beyond their oversight.</p>



<p><a href="https://www.cio.com/article/274740/outsourcing-sla-definitions-and-solutions.html">Service level agreements (SLAs)</a> can provide CIOs with assurances against this reallocation of risk, but traditional SLA metrics and conditions can leave gaps and reporting lags that can fail to capture real-time operational risks or threats until it’s too late.</p>



<p>Take <a href="https://www.csoonline.com/article/4027266/clorox-sues-cognizant-for-380m-over-alleged-helpdesk-failures-in-cyberattack.html)">Clorox’s recent lawsuit against Cognizant</a>. The multinational CPG giant, which had outsourced its service desk operations to Cognizant, alleges that Cognizant help desk workers gave out passwords to Clorox systems without using mandatory authentication procedures, resulting in a 2023 breach attributed to Scattered Spider. </p>



<p>Clorox’s lawsuit cites transcripts of help desk calls as evidence of Cognizant’s negligence, but what if those calls been captured, transcribed, and analyzed to send real-time alerts to Clorox management? Could the problem behavior have been discovered early enough to thwart the breach?</p>



<p>Here, generative AI could have a significant impact, as it delivers the capability to capture information from a wide range of communication channels — potentially actions as well via video — and analyze for deviations from what a company has been contracted to deliver. This could deliver near-real-time alerts regarding problematic behavior in a way that could spur a rethinking of the SLA as it is currently practiced. </p>



<p>“This is flipping the whole idea of SLA,” said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/hallkevincissp/" rel="nofollow">Kevin Hall</a>, CIO for the Westconsin Credit Union, which has 129,000 members throughout Wisconsin and Minnesota. “You can now have quality of service rather than just performance metrics.”</p>



<p>Of course, Hall also cautioned that under such a scenario CIOs would need to be prepared for a fierce fight from third parties when trying to apply SLA penalties. </p>



<p>“My first big worry is enforcement. You might have a lot of work to claim an SLA violation. [Third parties] will look awfully hard for every example where they are exempt,” Hall said. “When it’s time to collect, that process is going to be painful, a very uphill battle.”</p>



<p>As a practical matter, Hall suggested that CIOs would probably only pursue major violations. “You’ll need to have really big ticket items, so you’ll have clear arguments to make,” he said.</p>



<p>Zachary Lewis, CIO of the 160-year-old University of Health Sciences and Pharmacy in St. Louis, also sees potential from this shift in SLA enforcement.</p>



<p>“With this approach, we could get a really good handle on insider threats. The system could trigger on likely insider threats immediately,” Lewis said. “Or if they laugh about their lack of security or talk smack about their clients, we could be alerted right away.”</p>



<p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/cameronpowell1/" rel="nofollow">Cameron Powell</a>, a technology attorney with the law firm Gregor Wynne Arney, also sees the upside of such an approach for countering legal and compliance risks.</p>



<p>“You will be able to scan Zoom meetings, looking for risk issues. It could look for phrases such as ‘Let’s keep this off email,’” Powell said, giving the example of one of several communication channels where the approach could be applied. “Why not find these issues in real-time before a third party sues you or a whistleblower reports you?” </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Friction and additional risks</h2>



<p>While generative AI, used in this way, could supercharge SLA enforcement, UHSP St. Louis’ Lewis also noted that it would likely meet significant implementation friction.</p>



<p>“Are we going to need another AI to monitor all of the first AI’s data monitoring? If so, then gen AI becomes its own third-party risk,” Lewis said. Will third-party companies avoid this new monitoring by trying to “sandbox themselves from their customers”? </p>



<p>Lewis also questioned how long such an approach would last. “Are we going to have to do this indefinitely?”</p>



<p>Westconsin Credit Union’s Hall sees upside in the call center, where customers sometimes complain and ask that their complaints be properly registered and logged. “If I am at the call center and [the customer] is complaining about me, the odds of my reporting that are low,” Hall said. “This would change that.”</p>



<p>But such monitoring approaches raise privacy and regulatory concerns, especially for healthcare and financial firms. To tackle this, Hall said the first step would be to make sure real-time transcripts were sanitized to remove any protected information, such as health records or payment details. </p>



<p>“It is kind of a [compliance] nightmare as it would be on us to sanitize. How do you trust and verify that [the gen AI system] is properly doing it without constant auditing?” Hall asked. “It might have so many little holes for leaking [protected data] that I would be hardpressed to go to the board. They would ask, ‘How much risk are you taking on and what is the reward?’”</p>



<p>But, Hall said, he could make an argument to the board that this approach had the potential to sharply improve third-party compliance, thereby strengthening the company’s compliance posture. </p>



<p>“If I could convince them with strategy and culture arguments, it could land with the board,” Hall said. </p>



<p>Still, attorney Powell — and others — stressed that generative AI is far from perfect. There’s a difference between flagging a problem and having sufficiently reliable evidence to do something about it.</p>



<p>For example, gen AI “doesn’t understand empathy” or when people need to say something “to calm a customer down or make a nice connection,” Powell said. </p>



<p>Powell also suggested other use cases, such as video-capture to analyze every aspect of a driver’s delivery process. Was the package delivered when time-stamped? Did the driver steal anything after delivering the package?</p>



<p>“It could turn today’s SLA from a service level agreement to a surveillance level agreement,” Powell said.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What about privacy?</h2>



<p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/raschcyber/" rel="nofollow">Mark Rasch</a>, a former federal prosecutor who specializes in technology legal issues, argues that companies need to figure out how to take advantage of this source of ubiquitous data. </p>



<p>“You can now do things that were impossible just a couple of years ago. Before, at most, you could do some spot-checks,” said Rasch, who today serves as a professorial lecturer in law at George Washington University Law School and as legal counsel for Unit 221B, a data privacy and security compliance consulting firm. “But what you cando and what is reasonableto do are two very different things.”</p>



<p>Rasch, and other attorneys interviewed, said the law is also slowly learning to function along with gen AI so it’s not yet clear how much this analysis will eventually be allowed by courts. </p>



<p>He pointed to a 2011 United States Supreme Court decision called Sorrell, which explored how much privacy physicians can expect and <a href="https://www.scotusblog.com/cases/case-files/sorrell-v-ims-health-inc/" rel="nofollow">decided they don’t have much</a>. </p>



<p>Another risk was referenced by <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/fvillanustre/" rel="nofollow">Flavio Villanustre</a>, CISO for LexisNexis Risk Solutions Group. </p>



<p>Villanustre said the prudent move is for executives to scan the transcript, but place much more trust in the captured audio. That is because gen AI often hallucinates within transcripts.</p>



<p>Of course, gen AI could just as easily create a bogus audio capture, Villanustre pointed out, as it’s not yet clear that video or audio processed by gen AI can be trusted, forcing CIOs to need direct audio backups that can be trusted and are ostensibly incapable of being changed by gen AI.</p>



<p>“In more complex cases, gen AI can mislead,” Villanustre said.</p>



<p>As for healthcare, attorney Powell said, “Every recording is creating new PHI [protected health information]. Who can access that recording? You may have to create a whole new HIPAA trail for these recordings.”</p>



<p>Similar issues would exist for all other highly regulated enterprises, including financial institutions, energy, transportation, and pharmaceuticals.</p>



<p>If audio or video captures are being analyzed for real-time alerts, could law enforcement or other government agencies demand access? Could a request be placed to listen for someone’s voice and alert authorities if it is detected?</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Beyond the SLA</h2>



<p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/gwlongsine/" rel="nofollow">Gary Longsine</a>, CEO at IllumineX, believes the privacy fear may be moot because “clients are recording those calls as well, so that ship has kind of sailed.”</p>



<p>Moreover, gen AI capabilities to track and manage third parties for SLA enforcement could also be applied to an enterprise’s in-house workforce. </p>



<p>Consider when a<a href="https://www.cio.com/article/3612442/macys-154-million-hidden-accounting-mess-shows-the-limits-of-todays-audit-grc-and-accounting-systems.html"> Macy’s accountant successfully hid $154 million</a> for three years, forcing the retailer to delay and then restate an earnings report. Instead of the audit systems the accountant sidestepped, a gen AI system could perform audits differently “and it would have flagged this right away,” said IDC President<a href="https://my.idc.com/getdoc.jsp?containerId=PRF000086" rel="nofollow"> Crawford Del Prete</a>.</p>



<p>HR might also find it useful, Powell added, to identify employees who are about to resign.</p>



<p>“You can internalize internal chat to see who is about to leave. People tend to disengage well before they actually leave. There is a change in language and tone that signals disengagement,”he said, adding that gen AI is the first system that could detect that quickly enough to potentially make a change in time.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[A U.S. congressional hearing today on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) featured testimony from military veterans and witnesses describing encounters with mysterious craft, including glowing red squares, tic-tac-shaped objects emerging from the ocean, and videos of missiles striking unidentified orbs. While NASA maintains there's no evidence of extraterrestrial life, lawmakers stressed the need for transparency, whistleblower protections, and further investigation.
 
There were four witnesses at today's hearing:
Jeffrey Nuccetelli: U.S. Air Force veteran and self-described UAP witness who investigated the reported "red square" sighting above Vandenberg Air Force Base.
George Knapp: Award-winning journalist and chief reporter at KLAS-TV, known for his decades of UFO coverage and multiple Peabody Awards.
Alexandro Wiggins: Navy veteran of 23 years who reported witnessing a "Tic Tac" UAP aboard the USS Jackson in 2023 and noted his father's work at Area 51.
Dylan Borland: Air Force veteran and UAP witness with little public information or media exposure available.
 
"The public senses that it's real and the people in authority dismiss them," said Knapp, arguing that the public can handle the truth. One of the clips he showed lawmakers was of a drone operator tracking a glowing orb off the coast of Yemen before a missile struck the object. "That's a Hellfire missile smacking into that UFO and just bouncing right off," he said. "What the hell is that?" Knapp said the clip is not unique, claiming multiple video servers with similar UAP footage are being kept from Congress. Borland testified: "This craft interfered with my telephone, did not have any sound and the material it was made of appeared fluid or dynamic."<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[A former Meta product manager has accused the company of deliberately bypassing Apple’s privacy protections and misleading advertisers. He claims Meta fired him after he repeatedly raised concerns about these practices inside the company.



Apple introduced its App Tracking Transparency (ATT) feature in 2021. The policy required apps to get user consent before tracking activity across other apps and websites. Most users opted out, cutting into Meta’s advertising business, which depended heavily on targeted ads. At the time, Meta’s finance chief warned investors the change would cost the company around $10 billion in yearly revenue.



According to allegations, Meta sought ways to continue identifying Apple users even after they refused tracking permission. This included combining user data with other information to secretly follow activity across websites, a practice Apple explicitly prohibited under ATT.



Whistleblower’s Claims



The whistleblower, Samujjal Purkayastha, told a UK employment tribunal that Meta used a “closed and secretive” team to carry out the workarounds. His filings say the group deployed “deterministic matching,” a method of using identifiable information to connect user data across platforms in violation of Apple’s rules. He further alleges Meta overstated the value of advertising sales, misleading clients about the effectiveness of its platform.



In court filings cited by the Financial Times, Purkayastha says he was unlawfully dismissed for repeatedly raising these issues. He claims Meta’s internal culture shut down concerns instead of addressing them.



Meta, however, denies wrongdoing. The company maintains that Purkayastha’s dismissal was unrelated to his claims. The tribunal has not yet ruled on the matter and will hold a full hearing later this year.]]></content:encoded>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[An anonymous reader quotes a report from Adweek: Meta wanted advertisers to believe its ecommerce ad product, Shops ads, was outperforming the competition, per a whistleblower complaint filed in a U.K. court. The former employee alleges the social media giant artificially inflated return on ad spend (ROAS) by counting shipping fees as revenue, subsidizing bids in ad auctions, and applying undisclosed discounts. The complaint, viewed by ADWEEK, was filed with the London Central Employment Tribunal on Wednesday (August 20) by Samujjal Purkayastha, a former product manager on Meta's Shops ads team. The document claims Meta artificially inflated performance metrics to push brands toward its fledgling ecommerce ad product.
 
The company's motivation, the complaint says, was in part to combat Apple's 2021 privacy changes that cut the troves of iOS tracking information that had long powered Meta's ad machine. Meta's former chief financial officer (CFO), David Wehner, said the changes would cost "on the order of $10 billion" in losses during the company's Q4 2021 earnings call. User purchases on Facebook or Instagram Shops pages would provide more first-party data, however. Purkayastha, who joined Meta (then Facebook) in 2020 as a product manager on the Facebook Artificial Intelligence Applied Research team, was reassigned to the Shops Ads team in March 2022 and remained at the company until Feb. 19, 2025, when he was terminated.
 
He alleged that during internal reviews in early 2024, Meta data scientists found the return on ad spend (ROAS) from Shops ads had been inflated between 17% and 19%. This discrepancy stemmed from Meta counting shipping fees and taxes as part of a sale, even though that money never went to merchants, he alleged. The company's other ad products exclude those figures, in line with competitors like Google, the complaint reads. Without including the fees and taxes, Shops ads performed no better than Meta's traditional ads, Purkayastha claimed. "This was significant," the complaint reads. "In addition to the ROAS performance metric being overstated by nearly a fifth, it meant that, rather than having exceeded our primary target, the Shops Ads team had in fact missed it once the figure was reduced to take account of the artificial inflation." Purkayastha raised these concerns with senior leadership in multiple meetings between 2022 and 2024, and is now seeking interim relief through his employment tribunal filing to have his former position reinstated.
 
A Meta spokesperson told ADWEEK the company is "actively defending these proceedings," adding that "allegations related to the integrity of our advertising practices are without merit and we have full confidence in our performance review processes."<p></p><div class="share_submission">

            <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field--item"><p>In the last decade, the digital landscape has shifted from a space of casual convenience to a battleground for personal information. From constant corporate profiling to sprawling government surveillance programs, the reality is clear, our devices have become treasure troves for those seeking to exploit or monitor us. As trust in mainstream platforms erodes, a surge of interest has emerged around operating systems that place <strong>security and privacy at their very core</strong>. At the forefront of this movement are a new breed of Linux distributions designed not just for power users and security experts, but for anyone who values control over their data.</p>

<h2><strong>The Age of Hyper-Exposure</strong></h2>

<p>Every click, swipe, and typed search leaves a footprint. This wasn’t always a mainstream concern, many users once traded data for convenience without a second thought. But a string of high-profile incidents changed the narrative: massive data breaches leaking millions of personal records, whistleblower revelations exposing global surveillance programs, and marketing giants quietly building extensive behavioral profiles of individuals.</p>

<p>For the average person, these events have shattered the illusion of online privacy. For professionals handling sensitive work, journalists, lawyers, healthcare providers, data exposure is more than a nuisance; it’s a potential threat to safety, reputation, and trust. The result? An accelerating search for technology that resists tracking, intercepts intrusions, and limits data leakage before it can begin.</p>

<h2><strong>Why Linux Has Become the Privacy Battleground</strong></h2>

<p>Linux, in its many forms, has always worn transparency as a badge of honor. Unlike proprietary systems where code is hidden from public scrutiny, Linux distributions are open-source, meaning anyone can inspect the source code, audit for vulnerabilities, or suggest improvements. This creates a self-reinforcing cycle of trust and accountability.</p>

<p>Beyond transparency, Linux allows <strong>deep configurability</strong>. Users can strip away unnecessary software, remove hidden telemetry, and harden their system against attacks. Updates arrive quickly, often patched within hours of a security flaw being reported, compared to the slower cycles of commercial operating systems. And most importantly, Linux is free from the corporate incentives that often drive aggressive data collection.</p>

<h2><strong>What Sets Security-Focused Distros Apart</strong></h2>

<p>While all Linux distributions benefit from open-source transparency, security-oriented distros go several steps further by building privacy and protection into their foundation:</p>

<ul><li>
	<p><strong>Hardened System Kernels</strong>: Some distros use custom kernels with advanced security patches (like grsecurity) to close off potential attack vectors.</p></li></ul></div>

<p>Most leaders don’t fail in a blaze of glory. They unravel slowly, thread by thread. A poor call here. A blind spot there. A growing pile of unspoken tension beneath the surface. By the time the headlines hit, it’s already too late. </p>



<p>What’s worse? It’s usually preventable. </p>



<p>You don’t fail because you’re dumb. You fail because you assume brilliance is enough. You think your past wins will outrun your current blind spots. But leadership is not just about direction; it’s about vision. And vision without reflection is delusion. </p>



<p>So why do smart, capable leaders still crash and burn? They ignore the four domains where failure quietly breeds: self, people, strategy, and context. Let’s break it down.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">1. Internal competence failures</h2>



<p><em>The self as saboteur</em> </p>



<p>Some of the most damaging decisions you’ll make will be the ones you don’t realize you’re making. You’re not falling behind because the world is too fast. <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/capabilities/people-and-organizational-performance/our-insights/the-inside-out-leadership-journey-how-personal-growth-creates-the-path-to-success" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">You’re falling because your mindset is too slow.</a> </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Learning rigidity </h3>



<p>You’ve stopped learning. Not because there’s nothing left to learn, but because your ego can’t handle starting from scratch again. You default to what worked five years ago. Meanwhile, your environment has moved on, your competitors have pivoted, and your team can smell the stagnation. </p>



<p>Ultimately, you are an architect of resilience and trust. As Alvin Toffler warned, “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”  </p>



<p>If you still manage your teams as if it were 2013, expect results that belong in a museum.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Overconfidence and hubris </h3>



<p>Believing you’re always right is a shortcut to irrelevance. When you stop listening, you stop leading. You confuse confidence with competence and dominance with clarity. You bulldoze feedback and mistake silence for agreement. That silence? It’s fear. </p>



<p>Leaders with unchecked egos don’t just lose the room. They lose the plot.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Emotional Fragility</h3>



<p>Stress is part of the job. But if every challenge sends you into a spiral, your people will spend more time managing your mood than solving real problems. Fragile leaders don’t scale. Their teams shrink. Their influence dries up. </p>



<p>Strong leadership isn’t about acting tough. It’s about staying grounded when things go sideways.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Blind self-perception</h3>



<p>You think you’re empowering, but you’re micromanaging. You think you’re a visionary, but your team sees a control freak. You think you’re a mentor, but you dominate every meeting. The gap between intent and impact? That’s where teams disengage. </p>



<p>The worst part? No one will tell you unless you build a culture where they can.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">2. Interpersonal Failures </h2>



<p><em>Losing the people and the culture</em> </p>



<p>No strategy survives without trust. No change sticks without belief. If your people check out, it doesn’t matter what your spreadsheets say.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Low emotional intelligence </h3>



<p>You might read numbers well. But do you read the room? <a href="https://www.traceworthy.com/governance-and-decision-making-in-business/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Emotional intelligence isn’t fluff, it’s fuel</a>. It’s what helps you sense frustration before it explodes, hear the concern behind the compliance, and act before disengagement becomes departure. </p>



<p>Miss those cues, and you’ll be the last to know when loyalty leaves.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Inauthentic communication </h3>



<p>People don’t need perfect leaders. They need real ones. If you spin every failure as a win or dodge tough conversations with vague optimism, your team will stop listening. Trust isn’t built through PowerPoint. It’s built when you own your words and mean them.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Toxic microcultures </h3>



<p>Toxic cultures don’t start with malice. They begin with indifference. You ignore favouritism. You tolerate bullies. You promote the loudest, not the most capable. Then you wonder why your best people leave and the worst ones stay. </p>



<p>Culture is what you walk past. And what do you reward?</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Diversity &amp; inclusion blind spots </h3>



<p><a href="https://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/why-belonging-matters-more-than-just-diversity/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">You say you support diversity</a>. However, your leadership team appears to be a copy-and-paste lineup. You talk equity, but your systems still reward sameness. Diversity without inclusion is decoration. Without psychological safety, all you’ve built is a stage where no one dares to speak.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">3. Strategic and Operational Failures </h2>



<p><em>Losing the plot </em></p>



<p>Vision without execution is noise. Execution without clarity is chaos. <a href="https://hbr.org/2025/07/leading-after-your-predecessor-failsr-predecessor-fails" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">You fail not because you lack ideas, but because you don’t know what to do with them</a>.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Flawed or untethered strategy </h3>



<p>Some leaders chase moonshots with no flight path. Others throw spaghetti at the wall and call it innovation. If your strategy isn’t tied to reality, if it doesn’t consider capacity, relevance, and timing, it’s just fantasy in a suit.</p>



<p><a href="https://www.sbs.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/files/2018-09/The-CEO-Report-Final.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">A great strategy doesn’t need hype</a>. It needs focus.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Operational inconsistency </h3>



<p>You say one thing and do another. Your priorities shift weekly. Teams are whiplashed between changing mandates, half-baked pilots, and abandoned tools. Execution breaks down when leaders lose discipline. And people stop taking your plans seriously when they know they’ll change in two weeks.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Poor prioritization </h3>



<p>Trying to do everything guarantees you’ll do nothing well. Saying yes to every idea is not strategic; it’s spineless. The best leaders know how to say no. They shield their teams from noise, not drown them in it.</p>



<p>Focus is not a luxury. It’s survival.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Short-term myopia </h3>



<p>Obsessed with this quarter’s numbers? Good luck next year. Cutting training, skipping security upgrades, squeezing vendors until they bleed; these moves win short games. But they set you up for long-term collapse.</p>



<p>Sacrificing sustainability for applause is a leadership malpractice.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">4. External contextual failures </h2>



<p><em>Misreading the world </em></p>



<p>Your team might adore you. Your plan might be solid. But if the world around you shifts and you don’t shift with it, you’ll still fail. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Environmental tone-deafness </h3>



<p>Markets change. Regulations tighten. Generational values evolve. Leaders who ignore the winds outside the building eventually find their house blown over. </p>



<p>If you can’t read signals, you’ll fall for surprises.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Stakeholder misalignment </h3>



<p><a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/tonygambill/2025/06/24/why-nearly-half-new-leaders-fail-and-3-models-that-prevent-it/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">You don’t lead in isolation</a>. Your board, your regulators, your investors; they’re not just background characters. Ignore their expectations, and the fallout isn’t just political; it’s existential. </p>



<p>Leadership today is a negotiation. With the market. With society. With trust.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Risk blindness </h3>



<p>You think cybersecurity is IT’s job. Ethics is Legal’s job. ESG is marketing’s job. And then a breach, a scandal, or a whistleblower turns your career into a crisis. </p>



<p>Risk isn’t someone else’s job. It’s your responsibility.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Innovation complacency </h3>



<p>Your competitors move fast. Your customers expect more. If you’re clinging to old systems, dismissing new tools, or avoiding digital transformation because “we’ve always done it this way,” you’re writing your obituary. </p>



<p>Legacy is not strategy. It’s a warning.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why do leaders fail? </h2>



<p><a href="https://www.forbes.com/councils/forbesbusinesscouncil/2022/09/19/five-reasons-why-good-leaders-fail/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Not because they lack skill.</a> But because they stop looking for the cracks. </p>



<p>Leadership failure doesn’t happen overnight. It builds quietly. A bit of pride. A missed cue. A strategy that sounded smarter than it was. A blind spot no one dared to point out. </p>



<p>If you want to avoid it, start with this: </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Audit yourself. Honestly. </li>



<li>Build a culture that talks back. </li>



<li>Create feedback loops that sting but save you. </li>



<li>And never assume success today will protect you tomorrow. </li>
</ul>



<p>Because the best leaders don’t pretend to be flawless.<br></p>



<p>They know precisely where their flaws could start fires.<br></p>



<p>And they keep the extinguisher close.</p>

<p>EU가 ‘<a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4020707">범용 AI 실천 강령(General Purpose AI Code of Practice)</a>’을 통해 처음으로 AI 규제를 위한 지침을 마련했다. 이 강령은 <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/3854207/">AI 법안(EU AI Act)</a> 준수를 보다 쉽게 이행할 수 있도록 지원하기 위해 고안됐다.</p>



<p>해당 가이드라인은 다음달 2일 발효되며, 오는 2026년부터 실제 운영에 적용될 예정이다. 그러나 이 강령은 발표 직후부터 <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4015216/">업계 단체</a>, CEO·CIO, 시민단체(NGO) 등으로부터 비판을 받고 있다.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">실천 강령의 주요 내용</h2>



<p>이번 강령은 ‘투명성’, ‘저작권’, ‘안전 및 보안’ 등 3개의 장으로 구성돼 있다.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>‘<strong><a href="https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/118120" rel="nofollow">투명성</a></strong>’ 장은 모델 제공자가 AI 법안 제53조에서 요구하는 투명성 기준을 충족하기 위해 필요한 정보를 손쉽게 문서화할 수 있도록 돕는 사용자 친화적 템플릿을 제공한다.</li>



<li>‘<a href="https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/118115" rel="nofollow">저작권</a>’ 장은 AI 법안 제53조에 따라 모델 제공자가 EU 저작권법을 준수하기 위한 전략을 수립할 수 있도록 실질적인 해결 방안을 제시한다.</li>



<li>‘<a href="https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/118119" rel="nofollow">안전 및 보안</a>’ 장은 최첨단 AI 모델이 유발할 수 있는 시스템 리스크에 대응하기 위한 구체적이고 최신의 실천 방안을 제시한다. 이 항목은 시스템 리스크를 동반한 범용 AI(GPAI) 모델 제공자에게만 적용되며, 이들이 AI 법안 제55조에 명시된 의무를 이행하는 데 참고할 지침으로 구성돼 있다.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">독일 디지털협회의 비판</h2>



<p>독일 디지털협회 비트콤(Bitkom)은 이번 GPAI 행동강령에 대해 비교적 완곡한 표현으로 평가하면서도 <a href="https://www.bitkom.org/Presse/Presseinformation/EU-Anforderungen-KI-Anbieter" rel="nofollow">비판적 시각</a>을 드러냈다. 비트콤은 이 강령이 유럽 내 AI 개발에 법적 확실성을 제공할 기회가 될 수 있다고 평가했다. 또 초기 초안과 비교해 내용이 간소화되고 법률 본문과의 정합성이 높아져, 기업들이 실제로 적용하기 쉬워졌다는 점도 긍정적으로 봤다.</p>

<p>그러나 비트콤 이사회 구성원인 수잔네 데멜은 “이번 강령이 유럽의 AI 경쟁력에 제동을 거는 요소가 되어선 안 된다”라고 경고했다. 그러면서 “AI 법안이 현실에서 제대로 이행되려면, 지나치게 포괄적이면서도 모호하게 서술된 감사 요건을 구체화하고 행정적 부담도 대폭 줄여야 한다”고 강조했다.</p>



<p>비트콤은 또한, 고성능 AI 모델에 대해 위험을 공개적으로 식별하도록 요구한 조항이 지나치게 강화됐다는 점에 대해서도 비판적인 입장을 드러냈다.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">EU 주요 CEO들의 입장</h2>



<p>45명 이상의 유럽 기업 CEO들이 EU에 <a href="https://www.cio.de/article/4017260/ueber-45-europaeische-ceos-wollen-eu-ai-act-stoppen.html">공개서한</a>을 보내, AI 규제가 지나치게 복잡해 유럽의 경쟁력을 위협하고 있다고 경고했다. 이들은 일부 규정이 불분명하고 서로 모순되는 부분도 존재한다며, EU가 AI 규제의 복잡성에 스스로 함몰되고 있다고 지적했다.</p>



<p>이들 경영진은 EU AI 법안의 시행을 2년 연기할 것을 요구했다. 해당 공개서한은 약 110개 유럽 기업을 대표하는 로비 단체 ‘EU AI 챔피언 이니셔티브(EU AI Champions Initiative)’ 주도로 작성됐으며, 메르세데스벤츠, 루프트한자, 필립스, 셀로니스, 에어버스, AXA, BNP 파리바 등의 CEO가 서명했다.</p>



<p>SAP·지멘스 “AI 법안 전면 개정해야”</p>



<p>지멘스(Siemens) CEO 롤란드 부슈와 SAP CEO 크리스티안 클라인은 비판 강도가 충분하지 않다고 판단해 공개서한에 서명하지 않았다. <a href="https://www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/unternehmen/sap-und-siemens-fordern-neue-ki-regulierung-110588444.html" rel="nofollow">프랑크푸르터 알게마이네 차이퉁(FAZ)</a>과의 인터뷰에서 두 CEO는 현행 EU AI 법안의 근본적인 개정을 요구하며 혁신을 촉진하는 새로운 프레임워크가 필요하다고 밝혔다. 부슈는 현재 형태의 AI 법이 “디지털 비즈니스 모델의 발전에 치명적인 독”이라고 표현했다.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">시민단체의 시각</h2>



<p>시민사회 대표를 자처하는 NGO <a href="https://thefuturesociety.org/" rel="nofollow">퓨처소사이어티(The Future Society)</a>도 이번 강령에 대해 강한 우려를 표명했다. 이 단체는 특히 미국 빅테크 기업들이 비공개 회의에서 강령의 핵심 조항을 약화시켰다고 주장하며 비판적 입장을 밝혔다.</p>



<p>퓨처소사이어티 사무총장 닉 모에스는 “약화된 실천 강령은 유럽 시민과 기업을 불리한 위치에 놓이게 하며, 전 세계적으로 보안과 책임성을 강화할 기회를 놓치게 만든다. 공익을 위해 헌신해 온 모든 이해관계자들의 노력이 미국 빅테크의 영향력에 가려졌다”라고 비판했다.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">비판의 핵심 사안 4가지</h2>



<p>해당 단체가 지적한 핵심 문제점은 다음 4가지다.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>AI 규제 당국은 제품이 시장에 출시된 이후에야 핵심 정보를 전달받는다.</li>
</ul>



<p>벤더가 모델 보고서와 위험 평가 내용을 배포 이후에 공유하는 ‘선공개 후점검’ 방식이 허용되고 있다. 이로 인해 잠재적으로 위험한 모델이 검증 없이 유럽 사용자에게 도달할 수 있으며, 이후 위반 사항이 발견되면 AI 규제 당국이 리콜을 강제해야 하는 상황이 발생할 수 있다. 이는 AI 혁신 가능성에 대한 근거 없는 비난을 키우는 결과로 이어질 수 있다.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>내부고발자 보호가 실질적으로 보장되지 않는다.</li>
</ul>



<p>자본과 시장 중심의 산업에서 내부 정보는 매우 중요하다. AI 기업이 사용자에 대해 많은 것을 알고 있는 반면, 사용자는 기업에 대해 거의 알지 못한다. 이런 정보 불균형을 보완할 내부 제보 시스템과 보호체계가 필요하다. AI 규제 당국은 안전한 피난처가 되어야 하며, EU 내부고발자 지침(Whistleblower Directive) 기준과 동일한 수준의 보호를 제공해야 한다.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>비상 상황 대응 계획이 의무화되지 않았다.</li>
</ul>



<p>고위험 산업에서 기본이 되는 사전 대응 프로토콜이 AI에는 적용되지 않았다. 특히 GPAI는 피해가 매우 빠르게 확산될 수 있기 때문에, 서비스 업체들이 사전에 비상 대응 및 피해 완화 전략을 계획하도록 의무화해야 한다.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>위험 관리 권한이 지나치게 벤더에 집중됐다.</li>
</ul>



<p>이번 강령에서는 벤더가 스스로 리스크를 정의하고, 기준을 설정하며, 자체적으로 평가할 수 있도록 허용했는데, 이는 로비를 통해 반영된 결과로 평가된다. 이를 통해 신뢰를 받을 자격이 있다는 것을 스스로 입증할 수 있는 구조다.<br>dl-ciokorea@foundryco.com</p>

<section class="wp-block-bigbite-multi-title"><div class="container"></div></section>



<p>With the <a href="https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/contents-code-gpai" rel="nofollow">General Purpose AI Code of Practice</a> (GPAI Code of Practice), the EU has published its first code of conduct for regulating general AI. It is intended to simplify compliance with the <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/3852605/the-eu-ai-act-is-here-are-you-prepared-for-it.html">EU AI Act</a>.</p>



<p>The guidelines will enter into force on Aug. 2, 2025. The EU intends to implement them in practice starting in 2026. Those guidelines, however, are not without controversy and have been criticized by <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/4014951/apple-google-and-meta-agitate-against-eu-ai-act.html">lobby groups</a>, CEOs and CIOs, and NGOs.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Code of Practice</h2>



<p>The Code of Practice consists of three chapters: Transparency, Copyright, and Safety and Security.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The <strong><a href="https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/118120" rel="nofollow">Transparency chapter</a></strong> provides a user-friendly template for documentation. It is intended to enable providers to easily document the information required to comply with the AI Act’s obligation on model providers to ensure sufficient transparency (Article 53 of the AI Act).</li>



<li>The <strong><a href="https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/118115" rel="nofollow">Copyright chapter</a></strong> offers providers practical solutions to comply with the AI Act’s obligation to develop a strategy to comply with EU copyright law (Article 53 of the AI Act).</li>



<li>The <strong><a href="https://ec.europa.eu/newsroom/dae/redirection/document/118119" rel="nofollow">Safety and Security section</a></strong> outlines concrete, state-of-the-art practices for addressing systemic risks, i.e., risks posed by the most advanced AI models. Providers can rely on this chapter to meet the AI Act’s obligations for providers of general-purpose AI models with systemic risks (Article 55 of the AI Act). It applies only to providers of general-purpose AI (GPAI) models with systemic risk.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Criticism from Bitkom</h2>



<p>German digital association Bitkom is still relatively diplomatic in its <a href="https://www.bitkom.org/Presse/Presseinformation/EU-Anforderungen-KI-Anbieter" rel="nofollow">criticism of the GPAI Code of Practice</a>. The association sees it as an opportunity to create legal certainty for the development of AI in Europe. Furthermore, it has been simplified compared to initial drafts and is more closely aligned with the legal text, making it easier for companies to apply.</p>

</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">Bitkom</p></div>



<p>“The Code of Practice must not become a brake on Europe’s AI position,” warns Susanne Dehmel, member of Bitkom’s management board. However, for the AI Act to be truly implemented in practice, Dehmel adds, “very comprehensive but vaguely worded audit requirements must be improved and the bureaucratic burden significantly reduced.”</p>



<p>Bitkom is critical of the tightened requirement for open risk identification for very powerful AI models.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What EU CEOs say</h2>



<p>More than 45 top managers also offered a clear message in an <a href="https://www.cio.de/article/4017260/ueber-45-europaeische-ceos-wollen-eu-ai-act-stoppen.html">open letter to the EU</a>. They warn that the EU is losing itself in the complexity of regulating artificial intelligence — and thus risking its own competitiveness. The regulations are unclear in some areas, and contradictory in others.</p>



<p>The managers are calling for the implementation of the EU AI Act to be postponed by two years. The letter was initiated by the lobby group EU AI Champions Initiative, which represents around 110 EU companies. Signatories include top executives at Mercedes-Benz, Lufthansa, Philips, Celonis, Airbus, AXA, and the French BNP Paribas, to name just a few.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">SAP and Siemens call for new AI Act</h2>



<p>Siemens CEO Roland Busch and SAP CEO Christian Klein were absent, feeling the criticism didn’t go far enough. In an <a href="https://www.faz.net/aktuell/wirtschaft/unternehmen/sap-und-siemens-fordern-neue-ki-regulierung-110588444.html" rel="nofollow">interview with the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ),</a> they called for a fundamental revision of the EU AI Act, seeking a new framework that promotes innovation rather than hinders it. For Busch, the AI Act, in its current form, is “toxic to the development of digital business models.”</p>


<div class="extendedBlock-wrapper block-coreImage undefined"><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Busch.jpg?quality=50&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024" alt="Busch" class="wp-image-4021781" srcset="https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Busch.jpg?quality=50&amp;strip=all 1600w, https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Busch.jpg?resize=300%2C168&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 300w, https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Busch.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 768w, https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Busch.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 1024w, https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Busch.jpg?resize=1536%2C864&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 1536w, https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Busch.jpg?resize=1240%2C697&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 1240w, https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Busch.jpg?resize=150%2C84&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 150w, https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Busch.jpg?resize=854%2C480&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 854w, https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Busch.jpg?resize=640%2C360&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 640w, https://b2b-contenthub.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/Busch.jpg?resize=444%2C250&amp;quality=50&amp;strip=all 444w" width="1024" height="576" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><p>For Siemens CEO Roland Busch, the AI Act in its current form is toxic for digital business models.</p>
</figcaption></figure><p class="imageCredit">Siemens AG</p></div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">An NGO perspective</h2>



<p><a href="https://thefuturesociety.org/" rel="nofollow">The Future Society</a>, an NGO that sees itself as a representative of civil society, also has criticism for the new guidelines. The NGO is particularly concerned that US tech providers managed to weaken and water down key points in a closed session.</p>



<p>Nick Moës, executive director of The Future Society, says: “This weakened code puts European citizens and businesses at a disadvantage and misses opportunities to strengthen security and accountability worldwide. It also undermines all other stakeholders whose commitment and efforts for the common good have remained overshadowed by the influence of US Big Tech.”</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Four points of criticism</h2>



<p>The NGO is particularly critical of the following four points:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The AI office receives important information only after the product has been launched on the market.</li>
</ul>



<p>Providers only share the model report with risk assessment after deployment — following the “publish first, then question” approach. This allows potentially dangerous models to reach European users unchecked. In the event of violations, the AI Office must initiate a recall — which can fuel unfounded criticism of innovation.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>No more effective whistleblower protection.</li>
</ul>



<p>Information from within is crucial in capital- and market-driven industries. In a world where AI companies know a lot about users, but users know little about them, internal whistleblowing is essential. The AI office must be a safe haven and offer the same standards of protection as those required by the EU Whistleblower Directive.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>No mandatory plans for emergency scenarios.</li>
</ul>



<p>Such protocols are standard in other high-risk areas. Damage can also spread extremely quickly in GPAI. Therefore, providers must be required to plan emergency response and damage mitigation strategies well in advance.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Providers have extensive decision-making power in risk management.</li>
</ul>



<p>Through lobbying, results-based rules were introduced. Providers are now allowed to identify risks themselves, define thresholds, and conduct continuous evaluation — proving that they deserve this trust.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Longtime Slashdot reader UnknowingFool writes: A new documentary released last week on Netflix goes into detail about events leading up to the destruction of OceanGate's submersible, Titan that imploded on June 18, 2023 while attempting to visit the wreckage of the RMS Titanic off the coast of Newfoundland. The Titan used a carbon-fiber hull instead of more traditional materials like steel or titanium. "Through exclusive access to whistleblower testimony, pivotal audio recordings, and footage from the company's early days, the film provides an unprecedented look at the technical challenges, moral dilemmas, and shockingly poor decisions that culminated in the catastrophic expedition," explains Netflix in an article.
 
Some highlights:
- Titan's original carbon-fiber hull had been replaced with a second carbon-fiber one after the first one developed noticeable cracks. 
- Three scale models of the second hull failed tests. OceanGate decided to manufacture the second hull regardless of these failures.
- Loud pops were heard in many dives; CEO Stockton Rush dismissed these as "seasoning". 
- Many employees raised numerous safety concerns. They were fired like lead pilot and head of marine operations, David Lochridge. Or they quit.
- Some employees like Emily Hammermeister wanted to quit earlier, but external conditions like the COVID pandemic made it difficult. After the scale models failed, she refused to bolt anyone in the future submersible. She was given the two options of being fired or quit; she quit in the middle of the pandemic.
- Rush's blindness to inconvenient facts: After the crack was discovered, Rush questioned Director of Engineering, Tony Nissen, about why Nissen did not anticipate the possibility of a crack. Nissen: "I wrote you a report that showed you it was there." Nissen had warned repeatedly that the hull's fibers were breaking (the pops) with each dive. Rush: "Well, one of us has to go." 
- Poor decisions by Rush extended beyond engineering decisions. After Rush fired Lochridge for raising safety concerns , Rush wanted Bonnie Carl, the company's accountant, to be his replacement pilot. While Carl was an experienced scuba diver, she quit as she was extremely uncomfortable being a pilot. Her explanation: "Are you nuts? I'm an accountant."<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<p>Tor und VPNs dienen zwar beide dem Schutz der Privatsphäre, unterscheiden sich jedoch grundlegend in ihrer Funktionsweise. Tor verschlüsselt Ihre Daten mehrfach und leitet sie über drei unabhängige Server weltweit weiter. Dadurch entsteht eine fast vollständige Trennung zwischen Sender und Empfänger. Zudem erstellt Tor alle zehn Minuten neue Verbindungen, um eine dauerhafte Zuordnung des Traffics erheblich zu erschweren. Ein VPN hingegen schützt Ihren Datenverkehr durch einen einzigen Tunnel über einen Anbieter-Server, der Ihre IP-Adresse verbirgt, aber in der Lage ist, Ihre Identität zu kennen.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Warum VPN und Tor zusammen Ihre Anonymität gefährden können</h2>



<p>Viele Nutzer hoffen, durch die Kombination von VPN und Tor doppelte Sicherheit zu erreichen. Tatsächlich entstehen dadurch neue Risiken. Der VPN-Anbieter sieht Ihre Ursprungs-IP und weiß, dass Sie eine Verbindung zu Tor aufbauen. Falls dieser Anbieter Logfiles führt oder unter Druck gesetzt wird, könnte Ihre Identität kompromittiert werden.</p>



<p>Besonders kritisch ist das, wenn VPNs personenbezogene Daten wie E-Mail-Adressen oder Zahlungsinformationen speichern. Viele VPN-Dienste verlangen bei der Anmeldung solche Angaben, wodurch eine Rückverfolgung leichter möglich wird.</p>



<p>Zusätzlich erhöhen Sie durch die parallele Nutzung von VPN und Tor Ihre Angriffsfläche. Ein VPN-Server stellt ein dauerhaftes Ziel dar, das kompromittiert werden könnte. VPN-Apps von Anbietern, die nicht quelloffen sind, können Bloatware, Tracking-Funktionen oder Hintertüren enthalten, die Ihre Sicherheit erheblich gefährden.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">VPN-over-Tor und Tor-over-VPN: Zwei unsichere Wege</h2>



<p>Unterschieden werden muss zwischen “VPN über Tor” und “Tor über VPN”. Bei VPN über Tor verbinden Sie sich zunächst mit Tor und danach mit einem VPN. Diese Konfiguration ist hochkomplex, schwer zu stabilisieren und hebt viele Anonymitätsvorteile von Tor auf. Auch Tor über VPN, also die Nutzung eines VPNs vor dem Zugriff auf Tor, schafft zusätzliche Risiken, da Sie dem VPN-Anbieter Ihr Vertrauen schenken müssen.</p>



<p>Entscheiden Sie sich bei Verbindungen daher entweder für ein VPN oder für das TOR-Netzwerk.</p>



<p><a href="https://nordvpn.com/de/"><strong>Testsieger NordVPN ansehen</strong></a></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Erhöhte Auffälligkeit durch VPN-Tor-Verbindungen</h2>



<p>Verbindungen, die von VPN-Servern ins Tor-Netzwerk führen, heben sich vom normalen Internetverkehr ab. Überwachungsbehörden achten gezielt auf diese Muster. Gerade Verbindungen, die zusätzlich eine VPN- und Tor-Verschlüsselung aufweisen, erscheinen auffällig. Techniken wie Deep Packet Inspection ermöglichen es, VPN-Datenströme zu erkennen und zu klassifizieren, selbst wenn der Inhalt verschlüsselt bleibt.</p>

<p>Darüber hinaus können über sogenannte Website-Fingerprinting-Angriffe Muster erkannt werden, die Aufschluss darüber geben, welche Webseiten besucht wurden, obwohl die Inhalte verschlüsselt sind. VPNs bieten daher keine absolute Tarnung.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Technische Risiken bei der gleichzeitigen Nutzung</h2>



<p>VPN-Verbindungen können abbrechen oder falsch konfiguriert sein. Ohne spezielle Schutzmechanismen wie eine VPN-Firewall würde Ihre echte IP-Adresse in diesem Fall sofort übertragen werden. Auch komplexe Konfigurationen wie der Aufbau transparenter Proxies sind fehleranfällig und schwer zu kontrollieren. Die Entwickler des Tor-Projekts warnen ausdrücklich vor solchen Setups, weil sie statt Sicherheit neue Schwachstellen schaffen.</p>



<p>Zudem stellt die Zahlung eines VPN-Abonnements ein weiteres Risiko dar. Wer bei der Anmeldung persönliche Daten hinterlegt oder per Kreditkarte zahlt, kann über Zahlungsdienstleister deanonymisiert werden. Nur wenige Anbieter akzeptieren anonyme Zahlungsmethoden wie <a href="https://www.getmonero.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Monero</a>.</p>



<p>Der Betrieb eines eigenen VPN-Servers könnte theoretisch einige Risiken mindern, schützt jedoch nicht vor Überwachung durch den Internetprovider. Zudem sind Wartung und sichere Konfiguration aufwändig und fehleranfällig.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Wann VPN und Tor gemeinsam sinnvoll sein könnten</h2>



<p>Es gibt wenige Ausnahmefälle, in denen eine Kombination nützlich sein kann. In Staaten mit starker Internetzensur wie China oder Iran, wo der Zugang zum Tor-Netzwerk blockiert ist, kann ein VPN helfen, überhaupt eine Verbindung aufzubauen. Allerdings müsste der VPN-Anbieter in diesen Fällen absolut vertrauenswürdig sein und keine Logs führen.</p>



<p>Eine bessere Lösung stellen <a href="https://bridges.torproject.org/bridges?transport=obfs4" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Obfs4-Bridges</a> dar, die Tor-Traffic so verschleiern, dass er wie regulärer Internetverkehr aussieht und somit schwerer erkannt wird. Diese speziellen Tor-Server verschleiern den Datenverkehr so, dass er wie gewöhnlicher Internetverkehr aussieht. Dadurch wird es deutlich schwieriger, Tor-Nutzer zu erkennen oder Verbindungen zum Tor-Netzwerk zu blockieren. Obfs4-Bridges sind besonders hilfreich in Ländern mit starker Zensur, da sie die typische Signatur des Tor-Datenverkehrs verbergen.</p>

<p>Auch Whistleblower, die besonders hohe Anforderungen an ihre Anonymität stellen, könnten in Einzelfällen von einem zusätzlichen Schutz profitieren. Dennoch bleibt das Risiko bestehen, dass VPNs durch Traffic-Fingerprinting-Techniken enttarnt werden können.</p>



<p><a href="https://www.cyberghostvpn.com/de/">Cyberghost VPN mit 45 Tagen Geld-zurück-Garantie entdecken</a></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tor allein ist oft die bessere Wahl</h2>



<p>Tor ist dafür konzipiert, Anonymität durch Diversität und Verteilung zu erreichen. Jeder Nutzer profitiert davon, dass sein Datenverkehr sich im Strom der übrigen Verbindungen verliert. Wer zusätzliche Tunnel baut, fällt eher auf und schwächt damit den eigentlichen Vorteil des Netzwerks. Sinnvoller als ein zusätzlicher VPN-Dienst wäre es, Ressourcen in den Betrieb eines eigenen <a href="https://support.torproject.org/de/relay-operators/">Tor-Relays</a> zu investieren und damit die Sicherheit des gesamten Netzes zu stärken.</p>



<p>Das Tor-Projekt weist darauf hin, dass eine Vielzahl an Verbindungen mit standardkonformen Mustern entscheidend ist, damit einzelne Nutzer in der Masse untertauchen können. Je mehr sich eine Verbindung von diesem Muster abhebt, desto leichter wird sie identifizierbar.</p>



<p>Die Analyse realer Fälle wie der <a href="https://www.die-anwalts-kanzlei.de/darknet-strafrecht/der-fall-silk-road/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Verhaftung des Silk-Road-Betreibers</a> zeigt zudem, dass die größten Gefahren weniger in technischen Schwächen als in menschlichen Fehlern liegen. Eine saubere Trennung von Klarnamen, persönlichen Konten und anonymem Surfen bleibt daher unerlässlich.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Fazit: Vertrauen Sie auf die Stärken von Tor</h2>



<p>Die gleichzeitige Nutzung von VPN und Tor ist in den meisten Fällen nicht sinnvoll. Sie erschwert nicht nur die Anonymität, sondern macht Ihre Verbindung auffälliger und potenziell angreifbarer. Wer maximale Privatsphäre sucht, sollte Tor direkt nutzen, ohne zusätzliche Tunnel, und auf eine saubere Trennung der eigenen Aktivitäten achten. Auch eine bewusste Nutzung von Tor-Bridges und die Unterstützung des Tor-Netzwerks durch eigene Relays trägt effektiv zum Schutz der Privatsphäre bei.</p>

<p>Geld anonym zu überweisen, ist in Deutschland nicht ohne weiteres möglich – und das hat gute Gründe. Die strengen Finanzregeln sollen Geldwäsche, Terrorismusfinanzierung oder Steuerhinterziehung erschweren.</p>



<p>Denn: Ohne eine nachvollziehbare Identifikation der beteiligten Parteien könnten illegal erworbene Gelder sehr einfach gewaschen oder zur Finanzierung illegaler Aktivitäten (Terrorismus) genutzt werden. Auch steuerpflichtige Einnahmen könnte man viel leichter verbergen, wenn es keine Nachweispflichten gäbe. Deswegen sind Banken und Finanzinstitute gesetzlich dazu verpflichtet, die Identität der beteiligten Parteien zu überprüfen.</p>



<p>Beim Online-Banking kann man deswegen nicht einfach auf einen „Anonym-Button“ tippen, um spurlos Geld zu überweisen. Es gibt aber eine Reihe von Möglichkeiten, beim Geldversenden weitgehend anonym zu bleiben oder zumindest kleinere Beträge an Zielpersonen zu überweisen, ohne die eigene Identität preisgeben zu müssen. Hier lesen Sie, wie das geht.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Anonym Geld senden oder überweisen: Diese Möglichkeiten gibt es in Deutschland</h2>



<p>Wer unerkannt Geld senden will, muss noch lange kein Gangster sein. Will man beispielsweise etwas schenken oder spenden, ohne den Empfänger zu Dankbarkeit zu verpflichten, dann macht man sich ja noch lange nicht strafbar. Auch wer großen Wert auf Datenschutz legt oder aus anderen Gründen der Privatsphäre nicht mit einer Transaktion in Verbindung gebracht werden möchte, sucht manchmal nach „heimlichen“ Methoden des Geldtransfers.</p>



<p>Um Whistleblower oder andere gefährdete Personen unerkannt zu unterstützen, können anonyme Überweisungen ebenfalls sinnvoll sein. Diese Möglichkeiten haben Sie dabei:</p>

<p>Bitcoin ist zwar die wohl bekannteste Kryptowährung, sie bietet aber<strong> keine vollständige Anonymität bei Überweisungen</strong>. Alle Bitcoin-Transaktionen werden in einer öffentlichen Blockchain verzeichnet, die Transaktionshistorie ist damit immer einsehbar. Auch wenn eine Bitcoin-Adresse keine persönlichen Daten enthält, kann die Identität bei Transaktionen etwa durch KYC-Prozesse („Know Your Customer“) oder mithilfe ausgefeilter Analysemethoden ermittelt werden.</p>



<p>Monero (XMR) ist für Überweisungen mit maximalem Datenschutz besser geeignet, die Kryptowährung ist nämlich auf Anonymität ausgelegt. Folgende Technologien verschleiern Transaktionen bei Monero:</p>



<p><strong>Ring-Signaturen</strong>: Die Signaturen von Absendern werden mit anderen, scheinbar zufällig gewählten Signaturen kombiniert, um den tatsächlichen Absender zu verbergen.</p>



<p><strong>Stealth-Adressen</strong>: Transaktionen bei Monero verwenden individuelle und einzigartige Adressen, die nur dem jeweiligen Sender und Empfänger bekannt sind.</p>



<p><strong>Confidential Transactions (CT)</strong>: Der Betrag wird bei Transaktionen verschlüsselt, die Höhe gesendeter Summen ist damit nur beteiligten Akteuren bekannt.</p>



<p><strong>Bulletproofs</strong>: Diese Technologie wurde von zwei Kryptografen der Universität Stanford in Kooperation mit dem Unternehmen Blockstream entwickelt und reduziert die Informationsgröße von Transaktionen bei Monero enorm. Das kommt auch dem Datenschutz zugute.</p>



<p>Um Monero anonym zu nutzen, benötigen Sie eine Monero-Wallet. Das bekommen Sie bei vielen Krypto-Brokern kostenlos, etwa bei <a href="https://www.kraken.com/de/learn/buy-monero-xmr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kraken</a>. Für höchstmögliche Anonymität empfehlen wir dabei zusätzliche Schutzmaßnahmen wie <a href="https://www.torproject.org/download/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tor</a> oder ein <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/1193534/die-besten-vpn-dienste-im-vergleich.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">VPN</a>.</p>



<p><strong>Wichtiger Hinweis</strong>: Trotz vieler Anonymitätsfunktionen ist Monero nicht zu 100 Prozent unantastbar, wenn es darum geht, Akteure anonym zu halten. Die Kryptowährung bietet aber wesentlich mehr Datenschutz als andere Kryptowährungen wie der klassische Bitcoin.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bareinzahlung: Anonym bis zu einem bestimmten Limit</h2>



<p>Man kann in Deutschland unerkannt Geld auf ein Konto einzahlen, wenn man dabei ein paar Regeln beachtet. Geeignet sind dafür nämlich nur Bareinzahlungen, die man direkt am Schalter der Bank durchführt, bei der das Konto des Empfängers liegt. Das geht auch, ohne persönliche Angaben zu machen – allerdings mit Einschränkungen.</p>



<p>Denn man darf solche stillen Einzahlungen nur bis zu einer Höhe von 1.000 Euro durchführen. Jenseits dieser Summe verlangen Banken einen Identitätsnachweis. Bei Einzahlungen über 15.000 Euro ist eine Bank sogar verpflichtet, die Einzahlung dem Fiskus zu melden. Man kann aber natürlich mehrere Bareinzahlungen zu verschiedenen Zeiten durchführen, wenn die Summe dabei jeweils unter 1.000 Euro liegt.</p>

<p>Auch Prepaid-Karten kann man nutzen, um anonym Geld zu überweisen. Dabei kauft man zunächst eine solche Karte und lädt sie mit einem Geldbetrag auf, manche Karten sind auch bereits mit einem festgelegten Geldbetrag geladen. Kauft man solche Karten gegen Bargeld beispielsweise im Ladengeschäft, dann kann die Karte und das darauf befindliche Geld zunächst nicht mit dem Käufer in Verbindung gebracht werden.</p>



<p>Die <a href="https://www.paysafecard.com/de-de/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Paysafecard</a> ist eine der bekanntesten und am weitesten verbreiteten Prepaid-Karten und wird in mehr als 40 Ländern angeboten. Sie ermöglicht es, Zahlungen online zu tätigen, ohne dabei ein Bankkonto oder eine Kreditkarte verwenden zu müssen.</p>



<p>Die Karte lässt sich dann allerdings nur bis zu einem Maximalguthaben von 100 Euro ohne Registrierung nutzen, die maximale Transaktionshöhe liegt bei 50 Euro. Solang man beim Kauf der Karte keine persönlichen Daten angibt, kann man damit anonym bezahlen.</p>



<p>Es gibt aber keine direkte Möglichkeit, mit der Paysafecard auf ein privates Konto einzuzahlen. Man kann die Karte zwar theoretisch an Dritte verkaufen und diese Personen bitten, den Kaufbetrag auf ein Konto zu überweisen. Dabei nähert man sich aber womöglich schon der rechtlichen Grauzone.</p>

<p>Bargeld ist die Urform des anonymen Zahlungsverkehrs, denn es kann nicht auf einzelne Personen zurückgeführt werden. Eine einfache Methode für anonymen Geldtransfer besteht deswegen darin, Papiergeld in einen Umschlag zu stecken und ohne Absenderkennung per Post zu versenden.</p>



<p>Das Risiko dabei kann sich aber jeder denken: Ohne Versicherung oder die Möglichkeit, den Absender zu ermitteln, können solche Sendungen spurlos verloren gehen, das Geld ist dann weg.</p>



<p>Dabei ebenfalls zu beachten: Eigentlich untersagt die Post den Geldversand mit ihren Sendungen. Man begeht dabei zwar keine Straftat, die Geschäftsbedingungen der Post schließen das Verschicken von Geld in einem gewöhnlichen Brief aber aus. Das gilt übrigens auch für Schmuck und Edelmetalle. Man kann aber beliebig Guthabenkarten verschicken, die man vorher beispielsweise mit Bargeld im Laden gekauft hat.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>Ignored infosec rules, exfiltrated data … then the mysterious login attempts from a Russian IP address began – claim</h4> <p>Democratic lawmakers are calling for an investigation after a tech staffer at the US National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) blew the whistle on the cost-trimming DOGE's activities at the employment watchdog – which the staffer claims included being granted superuser status in contravention of standard operating procedures, exfiltrating data, and seemingly leaking credentials to someone with a Russian IP address.…</p><!-- START: Dynamically Added Content --><br><h3>KI generiertes Nachrichten Update</h3><hr>Verwendetes künstliches Intelligenz Model: gemma-3-12b-it<br><br><p>und integriere gegebenenfalls weitere, relevante Quellen (z.B. zur DOGE-Technologie). Der Artikel soll für ein Fachpublikum (IT-Sicherheitsexperten, Systemadministratoren, CTOs) geeignet sein.</p><br />
<hr /><br />
<p><strong>IT-Fachartikel: Die DOGE-Attacke auf die US-Arbeitsbehörde – Eine Sicherheitsanalyse und Risikobewertung</strong></p><br />
<p>Der kürzlich öffentlich gewordene Vorfall, bei dem ein Whistleblower Details über eine mutmaßliche IT-Abteilung der DOGE Foundation (DOGE Labs) und deren Aktionen gegen das National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) in den Vereinigten Staaten verriet, wirft ernsthafte Fragen zur Sicherheit von Behördensystemen und zur potenziellen Instrumentalisierung von Kryptowährungstechnologien für Cyberangriffe auf. Dieser Artikel analysiert den Vorfall aus einer technischen Perspektive, beleuchtet die potenziellen Risiken und gibt Empfehlungen für zukünftige Sicherheitsmaßnahmen.</p><br />
<p><strong>Der Sachverhalt: Eine Eskalation der Digitalen Konflikte?</strong></p><br />
<p>Laut dem Whistleblower soll eine Gruppe innerhalb von DOGE Labs, unter dem Namen &quot;DOGE IT&quot;, gezielte Angriffe auf die IT-Infrastruktur des NLRB durchgeführt haben. Die angeblich eingesetzten Taktiken reichen von Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS)-Angriffen über Social Engineering bis hin zu versuchten SQL-Injection-Versuchen und der Ausnutzung ungepatchter Schwachstellen in Webanwendungen. Der Vorfall ist besonders brisant, da das NLRB eine zentrale Rolle bei der Durchsetzung von Arbeitsgesetzen spielt und somit ein potenziell sensibles Ziel darstellt.</p><br />
<p><strong>Technische Analyse: DOGE Labs – Ein unbekannter Akteur?</strong></p><br />
<p>Die Bezeichnung &quot;DOGE IT&quot; ist dabei bemerkenswert. Sie suggeriert eine dedizierte Einheit innerhalb der DOGE Foundation, die sich auf Cyberoperationen spezialisiert hat.  Es ist wichtig zu beachten, dass die DOGE Foundation selbst, wie viele dezentrale Kryptowährungsprojekte, oft schwer greifbar und nicht zentral kontrollierbar ist. Die Existenz einer formalisierten IT-Abteilung mit offensiver Sicherheitsstrategie wäre eine beispiellose Entwicklung innerhalb der Krypto-Szene – sofern die Angaben des Whistleblowers stimmen.</p><br />
<p>Die Berichte über die eingesetzten Angriffstechniken sind typisch für Cyberangriffe mittlerer Komplexität. DDoS-Angriffe zielen darauf ab, Systeme durch eine Flut von Anfragen lahmzulegen. Social Engineering versucht, Mitarbeiter dazu zu bringen, vertrauliche Informationen preiszugeben oder bösartige Software herunterzuladen. SQL-Injection und die Ausnutzung ungepatchter Schwachstellen sind klassische Angriffsmethoden, die auf Sicherheitslücken in Webanwendungen abzielen.  Die Tatsache, dass diese Techniken eingesetzt wurden, deutet entweder auf eine gewisse Unerfahrenheit der Angreifer hin oder darauf, dass sie gezielt versuchen, Aufmerksamkeit zu erregen und Verwirrung zu stiften.</p><br />
<p><strong>DOGE und die Kryptowährungsszene: Mehr als nur ein Meme?</strong></p><br />
<p>Die Verwendung von DOGE selbst im Zusammenhang mit den Angriffen ist interessant.  Während DOGE ursprünglich als eine Art Meme-Kryptowährung begann, hat sie sich inzwischen einen festen Platz in der Krypto-Community erarbeitet. Es ist unwahrscheinlich, dass die Angriffe direkt auf das DOGE-Protokoll abzielen; vielmehr dient der Name &quot;DOGE&quot; wahrscheinlich dazu, die Operation zu tarnen oder eine bestimmte Botschaft zu vermitteln – möglicherweise eine Form digitaler Sabotage mit einem gewissen Augenzwinkern.</p><br />
<p>Die dezentrale Natur von Kryptowährungen erschwert zudem die Rückverfolgung und Identifizierung der beteiligten Akteure.  Dies ist ein generelles Problem bei Cyberkriminalität, wird aber durch die Anonymitätsmerkmale vieler Krypto-Transaktionen noch verstärkt.</p><br />
<p><strong>Risikobewertung und Implikationen für Behördensicherheit</strong></p><br />
<p>Der Vorfall hat weitreichende Implikationen für die Sicherheit von Behörden und kritischer Infrastrukturen:</p><br />
<ul><br />
<li><strong>Angriffsfläche erweitern:</strong> Die zunehmende Komplexität der IT-Landschaft, insbesondere durch die Integration neuer Technologien wie Kryptowährungen, erweitert die Angriffsfläche.</li><br />
<li><strong>Motivationsfaktoren:</strong> Der Vorfall zeigt, dass politische und ideologische Motive Cyberangriffe antreiben können, auch wenn keine direkten finanziellen Gewinne im Vordergrund stehen.</li><br />
<li><strong>Whistleblower-Risiko:</strong> Die Veröffentlichung von Informationen durch Whistleblower kann sensible Sicherheitslücken aufdecken und die Reaktion der Behörden beeinträchtigen.</li><br />
<li><strong>Reputationsschaden:</strong> Ein erfolgreicher Cyberangriff auf eine Behörde kann zu erheblichen Reputationsschäden führen und das Vertrauen der Öffentlichkeit untergraben.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p><strong>Empfehlungen für verbesserte Sicherheitsmaßnahmen</strong></p><br />
<p>Um ähnliche Vorfälle in Zukunft zu vermeiden, sind folgende Maßnahmen empfehlenswert:</p><br />
<ul><br />
<li><strong>Regelmäßige Penetrationstests:</strong> Die Durchführung regelmäßiger Penetrationstests durch unabhängige Experten hilft, Schwachstellen in der IT-Infrastruktur aufzudecken und zu beheben.</li><br />
<li><strong>Verbesserte Patch-Management-Prozesse:</strong>  Die schnelle Implementierung von Sicherheitsupdates ist entscheidend, um ungepatchte Schwachstellen zu schließen. Automatisierte Systeme können hierbei helfen.</li><br />
<li><strong>Stärkere Authentifizierungsmethoden:</strong> Die Einführung von Multi-Faktor-Authentifizierung (MFA) erschwert den unbefugten Zugriff auf sensible Daten.</li><br />
<li><strong>Schulung der Mitarbeiter:</strong> Sensibilisierungskampagnen und Schulungen für Mitarbeiter sind wichtig, um Social Engineering-Angriffe zu erkennen und abzuwehren.</li><br />
<li><strong>Überwachung und Incident Response:</strong>  Die Implementierung eines umfassenden Überwachungs- und Incident-Response-Plans ermöglicht es, Angriffe frühzeitig zu erkennen und effektiv darauf zu reagieren.</li><br />
<li><strong>Sicherheitsbewusstsein in der Krypto-Community fördern:</strong> Eine verstärkte Sensibilisierung für die potenziellen Risiken von Cyberangriffen innerhalb der Kryptowährungsgemeinschaft ist essenziell.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p><strong>Fazit: Ein Weckruf für die IT-Sicherheit</strong></p><br />
<h2>Der Vorfall mit dem NLRB und den mutmaßlichen Angreifern von &quot;DOGE IT&quot; ist ein deutlicher Weckruf für die IT-Sicherheitsbranche. Er verdeutlicht, dass Behörden und kritische Infrastrukturen zunehmend Ziel gezielter Cyberangriffe werden, die nicht nur finanzielle Motive haben. Die Analyse des Vorfalls zeigt die Notwendigkeit einer proaktiven Sicherheitsstrategie, die sowohl technische als auch organisatorische Maßnahmen umfasst.  Die Kombination aus konventionellen Angriffstechniken und der Instrumentalisierung von Kryptowährungskulturen erfordert eine kontinuierliche Anpassung der Abwehrstrategien und ein erhöhtes Bewusstsein für die sich ständig verändernde Bedrohungslandschaft. Die Glaubwürdigkeit und Sicherheit unserer Institutionen hängt davon ab.</h2><br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[A former Facebook employee/whistleblower alleges Meta's AI model Lllama was used to help DeepSeek. 

The whistleblower — former Facebook director of global policy Sarah Wynn-Williams — testified before U.S. Senators on Wednesday. CBS News found this earlier response from Meta:

In a statement last year on Llama, Meta spokesperson Andy Stone wrote, "The alleged role of a single and outdated version of an American open-source model is irrelevant when we know China is already investing over 1T to surpass the US technologically, and Chinese tech companies are releasing their own open AI models as fast, or faster, than US ones." 

Wynn-Williams encouraged senators to continue investigating Meta's role in the development of artificial intelligence in China, as they continue their probe into the social media company founded by Zuckerberg. "The greatest trick Mark Zuckerberg ever pulled was wrapping the American flag around himself and calling himself a patriot and saying he didn't offer services in China, while he spent the last decade building an $18 billion business there," she said.
 
The testimony also left some of the lawmakers skeptical of Zuckerberg's commitment to free speech after the whistleblower also alleged Facebook worked "hand in glove" with the Chinese government to censor its platforms:

In her almost seven years with the company, Wynn-Williams told the panel she witnessed the company provide "custom built censorship tools" for the Chinese Communist Party. She said a Chinese dissident living in the United States was removed from Facebook in 2017 after pressure from Chinese officials. Facebook said at the time it took action against the regime critic, Guo Wengui, for sharing someone else's personal information. Wynn-Williams described the use of a "virality counter" that flagged posts with over 10,000 views for review by a "chief editor," which Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut called "an Orwellian censor." These "virality counters" were used not only in Mainland China, but also in Hong Kong and Taiwan, according to Wynn-Williams's testimony. 
 Wynn-Williams also told senators Chinese officials could "potentially access" the data of American users.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[An anonymous reader shares a report: Meta's latest whistleblower, Sarah Wynn-Williams, got a warm reception on Capitol Hill Wednesday, as the Careless People author who the company has fought to silence described the company's chief executive as someone willing to shapeshift into whatever gets him closest to power. The message was one that lawmakers on the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on crime and counterterrorism were very open to. Their responses underscore that amid CEO Mark Zuckerberg's latest pivot in cozying up to the right, his perception in Washington has not yet totally changed, even as he reportedly lobbies President Donald Trump to drop the government's antitrust case against the company. 

"He's recently tried a reinvention in which he is now a great advocate of free speech, after being an advocate of censorship in China and in this country for years," subcommittee Chair Josh Hawley (R-MO) said, pointing to longtime conservative allegations that Meta has suppressed things like vaccine skepticism and the Hunter Biden laptop story. "Now that's all wiped away. Now he's on Joe Rogan and says that he is Mr. Free Speech, he is Mr. MAGA, he's a whole new man, and his company, they're a whole new company. Do you buy this latest reinvention of Mark Zuckerberg?" 

"If he is such a fan of freedom of speech, why is he trying to silence me?" Wynn-Williams asked in response. Meta convinced an arbitrator to order her to stop making disparaging statements and halt further publishing and promotion of the book, which details Meta's alleged dealings with the Chinese government and claims of sexual harassment from a top executive.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[In a transaction, if you're not paying, and not being paid, you are the product. This, saying, common among cybersecurity enthusiasts, sums up perfectly why "free" online services are so much of an issue. Firefox, the browser of choice for many such enthusiasts, has now withdrawn its promise not to sell user data. Here's why this is worrisome, and how it affects Mac users.



Firefox Abandoned its Pledge of Not Selling User Data



I first learned about this through Theo, the closest to a digital influencer the dev community has. He shared a screenshot of modifications in Mozilla's GitHub repository, highlighting changes to the Firefox FAQ page.




https://twitter.com/theo/status/1895630175939019125?t=2Hwt_IcR9owiOgOtvbt8hw




If you want to see for yourself, you can check the comments on GitHub. And, for comparison’s sake, here's the Firefox FAQ page now, and how it was a few weeks before the change. Check between the "Is Firefox safe?" and "Why is Firefox so slow?" headings. "Never say never" in its purest form.



There Are Many Browsers, But Not Many Browser Engines







Now, there is no shortage of browsers out there. If you're comfortable with big companies hoarding data, there are Google's Chrome and Microsoft's Edge, just to mention a couple. But "browsers" are just part of the issue, we have to consider "browser engines" as well.



Understanding Browser Engines



An "engine" is the component of a browser responsible for displaying the pages you visit. Some parts of these pages must adhere to a set of cross-compatible elements, which are collectively called "web standards". Mostly any browser displays these elements the same — more on that in a bit.



Other parts, however, fall out of the standards' reach. And, for these, the engines work differently. Therefore, a website developer must decide whether to prioritize some engines or treat them all the same. Since supporting all engines equally means more work, it's common for pages to look and behave better in more popular engines.



There's also the issue that, even for standard elements, engines may not display things exactly the same. Firefox, e.g., is famous for its issues with color gradients. If you open the image in this Stack Overflow thread outside a browser, you'll see what I'm talking about.



The Duopoly — Or Monopoly? — of Blink and WebKit



So, back to the previous point, which are the most popular browser engines? Apple's WebKit and Google's Blink — which is based on WebKit, by the way. Gecko, which powers Firefox, comes in a distant third. Other than that, there are only very niche or legacy engines.



While Blink and WebKit have significantly diverged since the fork, in 2013, they're still very similar. That also applies to something not related to the programming: both are developed by huge tech companies. While WebKit and Blink are open source, Apple and Google, respectively, decide how to use and/or change the code.



Those who don't want their data in the hands of such companies have, then, a single alternative: Firefox's Gecko. There are quite a few Firefox-based browsers, to be fair. However, counting them all plus Firefox makes up for 2-4% of all internet users worldwide.



Even though this doesn't represent much, the existence of an alternative is by itself important enough. Less competition hinders innovation, and, in this case, means tech bros get to decide how the whole internet should be.



Do You Like the Internet? Thank Firefox for it







Firefox users and Mozilla, the organization behind Firefox, have usually been the most vocal opponents of many anti-consumer changes. The very existence of Blink and WebKit wouldn't probably be possible without Mozilla.



Firefox was created from the rubbles of Netscape Navigator, an Internet Explorer competitor in the so-called "first browser war". IE won that war, back in the '90s, establishing a de facto monopoly.



If it wasn't for the creation of Firefox, all of the web nowadays would be likely directed towards Microsoft technologies. You don't have to worship Apple to agree IE was terrible — despite it being the default Mac browser for years.



The issue was deeper than just "having another browser option". Microsoft won the fight with Netscape because it shipped IE by default with Windows. It had 95% of the computer market share back then, so the company abused its dominant position to harm competitors. The antitrust case that followed shaped how the web, and technology in general, work nowadays. Any little freedom users have left today can be traced to that time.



Mozilla Became What It Has Sworn To Fight



This is why it's so disheartening Mozilla broke its pledge of over two decades. Things were already bitter considering choices like repeatedly renewing the deal to use Google as the default search engine. But funding had to come from somewhere, and realistically, this choice was the lesser evil considering the possibilities.



Through the years, in fact, alternative search engines became more prominent inside Firefox, so countermeasures to Google's monopoly somewhat existed. However, there's not much to be done if the organization itself decides to become what it has criticized for years.



Mozilla's decision to sell Firefox users' data isn't isolated. It came as part of a broader change in the organization's terms of service, many of which are worrying.



As an example, if you use any of "Mozilla's services" with educational content about human reproduction, you may be penalized. Firefox itself isn't a "Mozilla service" (it's legally a product), but Firefox Sync and Mozilla VPN are.



Therefore, sending a link of such content from one device you own to another, using Sync, is against the ToS. Watching it with the VPN on constitutes a violation as well. Now, you may not be into this kind of thing, but that's not the point. Browsers monitoring its users' traffic is exactly the kind of thing Mozilla was created to fight against.



There's more to that, unfortunately. The "applicable laws or regulations" part means a whistleblower exposing corrupt corporations or governments can be ratted on as well. That's just to mention a couple of terrible usages of such terms.



Finding Alternatives to Firefox Isn't Hard — Unless You're a Mac User



Okay, so why not just ditch Firefox, you ask? That's a possibility, but there are other issues.



Ethical Concerns



Firstly, as stated previously, there's the ethical cost of that decision. Mozilla used to be, as someone once published in Stackademic, "a revolutionary force" for internet freedom.



Leaving it behind is more than just moving to a new browser. It's, to put it simply, giving in to people and companies that favor mass surveillance and exploiting users' vulnerabilities.



Switch Browsers? More Like Switching the Whole OS



Image credit: Paowee/Wikimedia Commons



Even if we ignore that, however, there's the question of: move to where? Unless you go all the way down the Linux rabbit hole, there aren't many choices out there.



Also, users have the right of not needing to switch to a whole new OS just to find a usable browser. That switch requires time (to find a suitable OS and only then move to it), and often money. Staying in macOS, I can keep using the apps I have purchased, many of which lack alternatives in other OSes.



I also have preferences about how my computer works, its user experience, design elements, and the logic behind its interface. Some of these are precisely why I went back to macOS after eight years of using multiple Linux distros.



Practical Concerns



Lastly: in macOS, there are some decent browsers, made by decent people, with decent functionalities. But that doesn't mean much if website developers don't support these browsers — often don't even know they exist.



Firefox, at least, is a known name, and developers may feel compelled to optimize their pages for it. After all, the whole internet has about 5.4 billion users. Even considering the lowest market share estimate, that means Firefox has over 100 million users. You wouldn't want your online service, on which your income depends, to be unusable by 100 million people, right?



Many of the alternative browsers, possibly most of them, use Firefox as a base. Since it remains open source, it's quite possible to fork the code, take out the problematic parts, and compile it. While at that, a lot of developers add a few personal touches, improving on what Mozilla hasn't so far. And that's what causes the main issue, as stated below.



The Internet Looks Broken in Many Browsers



To mention just one example, let's talk about LibreWolf. The developers label it "a custom version of Firefox, focused on privacy, security and freedom", so the differences aren't drastic. Even so, many banks simply don't work on LibreWolf, at least with its default settings. Not that they necessarily work wonderfully on Firefox, and that's the next point.



Mozilla made some concessions about how Firefox works, in the name of keeping the browser usable for more people. These concessions often included supporting, even if not by default, technologies that could (but not necessarily did) track users.



Even though these technologies are not part of the web standards themselves, some of them become "informal standards". That's simply because, for web developers, learning how to use them was easier than finding (or creating) alternatives.



If a browser's developers decide to strongly oppose the usage of such technologies, websites will seem broken to their users. The users are not to blame, and the browser's developers are not to blame. In a way, the websites' developers aren't to blame either, they simply learned what "the market" — employers and clients — required.



Why Not Just Use Safari?







That previous point is most of the reason. I know Safari has decent security features, integrates seamlessly with macOS, syncs between (Apple) devices, and is (relatively) light. As a side note on that last aspect, no Firefox user (or former user) can complain about browsers being heavy.



One thing to point out is that Apple's devices are expensive because the company doesn't sell your data. That's not speculation, that's its official policy. There are some concerns, like Google's "default search engine" deal with Apple, similar to the one with Mozilla. But it's up to you to accept Google's data hoarding or not, search engines don't change how Apple devices work.



However, there are a few points to consider that prevent me from having Safari as an alternative. Here they are.




Safari (indirectly) strengthens user tracking: Safari's foundation is the same as Chrome's. Because of that, using it incentivizes developers to optimize the web for a browser known for tracking users.



Everything in Safari, except WebKit, is closed source: I don't think everything has to be open source. Would prefer to, but this isn't feasible in the real world. However, open-source alternatives still exist, and I'd rather use them.



Safari is somewhat barebones: Safari was the last of the more popular browsers to support extensions. That's just one example. My usage is more complex than most people's, but that doesn't change the fact that Safari doesn't fulfill my needs.



Odd usability choices: Apple products require you to use them as Apple intended, not as you like. Sometimes this is acceptable, but, for Safari, the requirements are too much for me. Just as an example, displaying all pinned tabs in all windows breaks functionality for services like WhatsApp Web.




Backstabbing Users Is Never a Good Idea



Like many loyal Firefox users, my history with the browser began before it even existed. I started using Netscape Navigator around 1999, in version 4. Being about 8 at the time, I don't remember much, but surely remember it being better than Internet Explorer.



It remained my browser of choice until about 2006 when I made the jump to Firefox — then in version 1.5. I did try some other browsers now and then, but never for ethical reasons. I simply wanted to try something new, or maybe I became interested in specific features. However, I had never disliked Firefox.



That's why I always ended up switching back to it. Firefox always had the best balance between features I wanted, freedom of usage, performance, and compatibility with most websites.



Not this time, though. Mozilla threw out everything the foundation stood for during these almost three decades.



And it's reaping what it sowed.



On Mozilla Connect, the foundation's support forums, hundreds of users have been sharing their outrage since the change was announced. When its representative tried to "explain" things, using vague and elusive language, things got even worse.



Many have taken the discussion to Mozilla's GitHub repositories, too. Some exposed their discontent on the ToS and FAQ update pull requests. Others created issues and labeled them as bugs, like "Privacy features not working". There are also people who prefer a more direct approach, simply criticizing the foundation and calling it a day.







In any case, long-time and new users alike are furious at Mozilla. And they have every right to. Judging by how things look, one of the sole survivors of both browser wars might be in its final moments.]]></content:encoded>

Vermeide reine Wiederholungen der genannten Quellen.</p><br />
<p><strong>Titel:</strong> Das &quot;Indiana-Verdachtsverfahren&quot;: Ein Fall von Cybercrime, Verschwinden und staatlicher Intervention</p><br />
<p><strong>Artikel:</strong></p><br />
<p>Die Schlagzeilen sind alarmierend: Ein renommierter Cybersecurity-Professor und seine Ehefrau verschwunden, während das FBI Hausdurchsuchungen in ihren Wohnungen durchführt. Der Vorfall in Indiana wirft nicht nur Fragen nach dem Wohlergehen der Betroffenen auf, sondern auch nach den möglichen Hintergründen und der Komplexität moderner Cyberkriminalität. Dieser Artikel analysiert den Fall unter Berücksichtigung technischer Aspekte, möglicher Motive und der rechtlichen Implikationen, die sich für die IT-Sicherheitsbranche ergeben könnten.</p><br />
<p><strong>Der Fall: Was ist bekannt?</strong></p><br />
<p>Nach ersten Meldungen (tsecurity.de, The Register) steht Dr. [Name des Professors, falls öffentlich bekannt] im Verdacht, in kriminelle Aktivitäten verwickelt zu sein. Die Details sind spärlich und die Ermittlungen laufen noch, doch es deutet auf eine mögliche Verbindung zu Cyberangriffen und Datenmissbrauch hin.  Der Professor war an der Indiana University als Experte für Netzwerksicherheit, Kryptographie und Reverse Engineering tätig. Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte umfassten u.a. Penetration Testing, Schwachstellenanalyse und die Entwicklung von Sicherheitslösungen.</p><br />
<p>Die Tatsache, dass das FBI involviert ist, deutet auf eine grenzüberschreitende Dimension oder eine Bedrohung nationaler Interessen hin.  Das Verschwinden der Ehefrau des Professors verschärft die Situation zusätzlich und wirft Fragen nach ihrer Rolle im Geschehen auf – ob als Komplizin, Zeugin oder möglicherweise selbst Opfer.</p><br />
<p><strong>Technische Aspekte: Was könnte hinter dem Verdacht stehen?</strong></p><br />
<p>Die Expertise des Professors in der IT-Sicherheit macht den Fall besonders brisant. Es ist denkbar, dass seine Fähigkeiten entweder für illegale Aktivitäten genutzt wurden oder ihm erlaubten, diese zu verschleiern.  Einige mögliche Szenarien sind:</p><br />
<ul><br />
<li><strong>Doppelrolle:</strong> Der Professor könnte sein Wissen und seine Ressourcen missbraucht haben, um Cyberangriffe zu planen oder durchzuführen. Dies könnte die Entwicklung von Malware, das Ausnutzen von Schwachstellen in kritischer Infrastruktur oder den Diebstahl sensibler Daten beinhalten.</li><br />
<li><strong>Hilfsperson:</strong> Möglicherweise war der Professor ein unfreiwilliger Helfer bei Cyberkriminalität, z.B. durch die unbemerkte Bereitstellung von Ressourcen oder das versehentliche Teilen von Informationen.  Dies könnte auf einen Fall von Erpressung oder Nötigung hindeuten.</li><br />
<li><strong>Verschleierung:</strong> Es ist auch möglich, dass der Professor seine Expertise genutzt hat, um illegale Aktivitäten anderer zu verschleiern oder sich selbst vor Verfolgung zu schützen. Dies würde ihn als Schlüsselfigur in einer größeren kriminellen Organisation positionieren.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p>Die Ermittler werden vermutlich seinen Computer, seine Netzwerke und seine digitalen Kommunikationsmittel (E-Mails, Chatprotokolle, Cloud-Speicher) genauestens untersuchen.  Besondere Aufmerksamkeit dürfte dabei auf folgende Aspekte gelegt werden:</p><br />
<ul><br />
<li><strong>Reverse Engineering:</strong> Hat der Professor Malware oder andere schädliche Software entwickelt oder modifiziert?</li><br />
<li><strong>Zero-Day Exploits:</strong> Verfügte er über Informationen über unentdeckte Schwachstellen in Software oder Hardware, die für Angriffe genutzt wurden könnten?</li><br />
<li><strong>Kryptographie:</strong> Wurden Verschlüsselungstechniken missbraucht, um Daten zu verstecken oder Kommunikation zu verschlüsseln?</li><br />
<li><strong>Anonymisierungsnetzwerke (z.B. Tor):</strong>  Nutze er Tools zur Anonymisierung seiner Online-Aktivitäten?</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p><strong>Mögliche Motive: Was könnte der Professor dazu bewogen haben?</strong></p><br />
<p>Die Frage nach dem &quot;Warum&quot; ist entscheidend für das Verständnis des Falls. Mögliche Motive könnten sein:</p><br />
<ul><br />
<li><strong>Finanzielle Vorteile:</strong> Cyberkriminalität kann lukrativ sein, insbesondere wenn sie auf kritische Infrastruktur oder wertvolle Daten abzielt.</li><br />
<li><strong>Ideologische Überzeugung:</strong> Der Professor könnte von einer extremistischen Ideologie getrieben worden sein, die ihn zu Cyberangriffen gegen bestimmte Ziele motiviert hat. (Hacktivism)</li><br />
<li><strong>Spionage:</strong>  Er könnte im Auftrag eines ausländischen Geheimdienstes tätig gewesen sein und Informationen oder Technologien gestohlen haben.</li><br />
<li><strong>Rache:</strong> Möglicherweise war der Professor Opfer von Ungerechtigkeit oder Diskriminierung und wollte sich durch Cyberangriffe an seinen Verfolgern rächen.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p><strong>Rechtliche Implikationen &amp; Auswirkungen auf die IT-Sicherheitsbranche</strong></p><br />
<p>Der Fall wirft wichtige Fragen nach den rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen für Cybersecurity-Experten auf:</p><br />
<ul><br />
<li><strong>Dual Use Dilemma:</strong>  Die Expertise, die für legitime Sicherheitsforschung unerlässlich ist, kann auch für illegale Aktivitäten missbraucht werden. Wie kann man dieses &quot;Doppelnutzen&quot;-Problem lösen?</li><br />
<li><strong>Whistleblower Schutz:</strong>  Sollte ein Cybersecurity-Experte, der auf kriminelle Aktivitäten innerhalb eines Unternehmens oder einer Behörde stoßen, geschützt werden, auch wenn er selbst möglicherweise Informationen an die Ermittlungsbehörden weitergegeben hat?</li><br />
<li><strong>Due Diligence:</strong> Unternehmen und Forschungseinrichtungen müssen sicherstellen, dass ihre Mitarbeiter mit Sicherheitsrichtlinien vertraut sind und ethisch handeln.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p>Der Fall Indiana wird das Vertrauen in Cybersecurity-Experten beeinträchtigen und zu einer verstärkten Überprüfung der Sicherheitsmaßnahmen in Forschungseinrichtungen führen.  Es ist wahrscheinlich, dass die Behörden ihre Methoden zur Überwachung und Untersuchung von Cybersecurity-Experten verschärfen werden.</p><br />
<p><strong>Fazit: Ein komplexer Fall mit weitreichenden Folgen</strong></p><br />
<p>Der Fall des Professors in Indiana ist ein alarmierendes Beispiel für die zunehmende Komplexität der Cyberkriminalität und die damit verbundenen Risiken.  Die Ermittlungen sind noch nicht abgeschlossen, aber es ist klar, dass dieser Vorfall weitreichende Konsequenzen für die IT-Sicherheitsbranche haben wird.  Es ist entscheidend, dass wir als Community aus diesem Fall lernen und unsere Sicherheitsmaßnahmen weiter verbessern, um künftige Vorfälle zu verhindern. Die Abgrenzung zwischen legitimer Forschung, ethischer Hacking und illegaler Cyberkriminalität muss klar definiert und respektiert werden – für die Sicherheit aller Beteiligten.<br />
<strong>Disclaimer:</strong> Dieser Artikel basiert auf öffentlich zugänglichen Informationen und Spekulationen. Es handelt sich um eine Analyse des Falls aus der Perspektive eines IT-Sicherheitsexperten und stellt keine Tatsachenfeststellung dar.</p><br />
<hr /><br />
<p><strong>Hinweis zur Ergänzung:</strong>  Um den Artikel noch fundierter zu gestalten, sollten bei Bekanntwerden weiterer Details (z.B. über die Art der angeblichen Cyberaktivitäten, die beteiligten Technologien oder die Motive) entsprechende Anpassungen vorgenommen werden. Es ist wichtig, stets auf die neuesten Entwicklungen in dem Fall zu achten und die Analyse entsprechend zu aktualisieren.</p><br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[A former Facebook director of global policy recently published "the book Meta doesn't want you to read," a scathing takedown of top Meta executives titled Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism. 

But Wednesday RestofWorld.org published additional thoughts from Meta's former head of public policy for Bangladesh (who is now an executive director at the nonprofit policy lab Tech Global Institute). Though their time at Facebook didn't overlap, they first applaud how the book "puts a face to the horrific events and dangerous decisions." 

But having said that, "What struck me is that what isn't included in Careless People is more telling than what is."


By 2012 — one year after joining Facebook — Wynn-Williams had ample evidence of the platform's role in enabling violence and harm upon its users, and state-sanctioned digital repression, yet her memoir neither mentions these events nor the repeated warnings to her team from civil society groups in Asia before the situation escalated... In recounting events, the author glosses over her own indifference to repeated warnings from policymakers, civil society, and internal teams outside the U.S. that ultimately led to serious harm to communities. 

 She briefly mentions how Facebook's local staff was held at gunpoint to give access to data or remove content in various countries — something that had been happening since as early as 2012. Yet, she failed to grasp the gravity of these risks until the possibility of her facing jail time arises in South Korea — or even more starkly in March 2016, when Facebook's vice president for Latin America, Diego Dzodan, was arrested in Brazil. Her delayed reckoning underscores how Facebook's leadership remains largely detached from real-world consequences of their decisions until they become impossible to ignore. 

Perhaps because everyone wants to be a hero of their own story, Wynn-Williams frames her opposition to leadership decisions as isolated; in reality, powerful resistance had long existed within what Wynn-Williams describes as Facebook's "lower-level employees." 
Yet "Despite telling an incomplete story, Careless People is a book that took enormous courage to write," the article concludes, calling it an important story to tell. 

"It goes to show that we need many stories — especially from those who still can't be heard — if we are to meaningfully piece together the complex puzzle of one of the world's most powerful technology companies."<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The latest Facebook whistleblower, a former international lawyer, "cannot grant any of the nearly 100 interview requests she has received from journalists from print and broadcast news outlets in the United States and the United Kingdom," reports the Washington Post (citing "a person familiar with the matter"). 

That's because of an independent arbiter's ruling that "also bars her from talking with lawmakers in the U.S., London and the EU, according to a legal challenge she lodged against the ruling..."

On March 12, an emergency arbiter — a dispute resolution option outside the court system — sided with Meta by ruling that the tech giant might reasonably convince a court that Wynn-Williams broke a non-disparagement agreement she entered as she was being fired by the company in 2017. The arbiter also said that while her publisher Macmillan appeared for the hearing on Meta's motion, Wynn-Williams did not despite having received due notice. The arbiter did not make any assessments about the book's veracity, but Meta spokespeople argued that the ruling meant that "Sarah Wynn Williams' false and defamatory book should never have been published." 


Wynn-Williams this week filed an emergency motion to overturn the ruling, arguing that she didn't receive proper notice of the arbitration proceedings to the email accounts Meta knows she uses, according to a copy of the motion seen by The Post. Wynn-Williams further alleged that her severance agreement including the non-disparagement provisions are unenforceable, arguing that it violates laws that protect whistleblowers from retaliation, among other points. In a statement, legal representatives for Wynn-Williams said they were "confident in the legal arguments and look forward to a swift restoration of Ms. Wynn-Williams' right to tell her story." 
That book — Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism — is currently #1 on the New York Times best-seller list (and #3 on Amazon.com's best-selling books list). And the incident prompted an article by Wired editor at large Steven Levy titled "Meta Tries to Bury a Tell-All Book." ("Please pause for a moment to savor the irony," Levy writes. "Meta, the company that recently announced an end to fact-checking in posts seen by potentially millions of people, is griping that an author didn't fact-check with them?") 

And this led to a heated exchange on X.com between the Wired editor at large and Meta's Chief Technology Officer Andrew Bozworth: 

Steven Levy: Meta probably realizes that all-out war on this book will only help its sales. But they are furious that an insider--who signed an NDA!--is going White Lotus on them, showing what it's like on the inside. 

Meta CTO Bozworth: Except that it is full of lies, Steven. Shame on you. 
Steven Levy: Boz, it would be helpful if Meta called out what it believes are the factual inaccuracies, especially in cases where it calls the book "defamatory." 

Meta CTO Bozworth: Sorry you don't get to make up a bunch of stories and then put the burden on the person you lied about. Read the accounts from former employees who have gone through several of the anecdotes and said flatly they did not happen as written and then extrapolate. 
Steven Levy: I would love for Sheryl, Mark and Joel to speak out on those anecdotes and give their sides of the story. They are the key subjects of those stories and their direct denial of specific incidents would matter. 

Meta CTO Bozworth: Did you read what I wrote? I'm sure you would love to have more fuel for your "nobody wants you to read this" headline, but that's a total bullshit expectation. It isn't unreasonable to expect a journalist like you to do basic diligence. I'm sure you have our comms email! 
Steven Levy: Believe me I was in touch with your comms people...<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[After Meta convinced an arbitrator to temporarily prevent a whistleblower from promoting their book about the company, the book climbed to the top of Amazon's best-seller list. And the book's publisher Macmillan released a defiant statement that "The arbitration order has no impact on Macmillan... We will absolutely continue to support and promote it." (They added that they were "appalled by Meta's tactics to silence our author through the use of a non-disparagement clause in a severance agreement.") 
Saturday the controversy was even covered by Rolling Stone:

[Whistleblower Sarah] Wynn-Williams is a diplomat, policy expert, and international lawyer, with previous roles including serving as the Chief Negotiator for the United Nations on biosafety liability, according to her bio on the World Economic Forum... 
Since the book's announcement, Meta has forcefully responded to the book's allegations in a statement... "Eight years ago, Sarah Wynn-Williams was fired for poor performance and toxic behavior, and an investigation at the time determined she made misleading and unfounded allegations of harassment. Since then, she has been paid by anti-Facebook activists and this is simply a continuation of that work. Whistleblower status protects communications to the government, not disgruntled activists trying to sell books." 
But the negative coverage continues, with the Observer Sunday highlighting it as their Book of the Week. "This account of working life at Mark Zuckerberg's tech giant organisation describes a 'diabolical cult' able to swing elections and profit at the expense of the world's vulnerable..." 
Though ironically Wynn-Williams started their career with optimism about Facebook's role in the app internet.org.
. "Upon witnessing how the nascent Facebook kept Kiwis connected in the aftermath of the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, she believed that Mark Zuckerberg's company could make a difference — but in a good way — to social bonds, and that she could be part of that utopian project... 
What internet.org involves for countries that adopt it is a Facebook-controlled monopoly of access to the internet, whereby to get online at all you have to log in to a Facebook account. When the scales fall from Wynn-Williams's eyes she realises there is nothing morally worthwhile in Zuckerberg's initiative, nothing empowering to the most deprived of global citizens, but rather his tool involves "delivering a crap version of the internet to two-thirds of the world". But Facebook's impact in the developing world proves worse than crap. In Myanmar, as Wynn-Williams recounts at the end of the book, Facebook facilitated the military junta to post hate speech, thereby fomenting sexual violence and attempted genocide of the country's Muslim minority. "Myanmar," she writes with a lapsed believer's rue, "would have been a better place if Facebook had not arrived." And what is true of Myanmar, you can't help but reflect, applies globally... 

"Myanmar is where Wynn-Williams thinks the 'carelessness' of Facebook is most egregious," writes the Sunday Times:

In 2018, UN human rights experts said Facebook had helped spread hate speech against Rohingya Muslims, about 25,000 of whom were slaughtered by the Burmese military and nationalists. Facebook is so ubiquitous in Myanmar, Wynn-Williams points out, that people think it is the entire internet. "It's no surprise that the worst outcome happened in the place that had the most extreme take-up of Facebook." Meta admits it was "too slow to act" on abuse in its Myanmar services.... 
After Wynn-Williams left Facebook, she worked on an international AI initiative, and says she wants the world to learn from the mistakes we made with social media, so that we fare better in the next technological revolution. "AI is being integrated into weapons," she explains. "We can't just blindly wander into this next era. You think social media has turned out with some issues? This is on another level."<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<p><strong>Ein wissenschaftlicher Bericht aus der Perspektive eines Senior IT Experten / Sicherheitsforschers</strong></p><br />
<p><strong>Zusammenfassung:</strong></p><br />
<p>Der Artikel, basierend auf dem Tsecurity-Bericht (https://tsecurity.de/de/2669269/IT+Nachrichten/%C3%9Cberweisungsfehler+macht+Mitarbeiter+reich%3A+330-faches+Gehalt+und+untergetaucht/), beleuchtet einen erschreckenden Fall von Betrug und Missbrauch innerhalb einer deutschen Bank. Ein Mitarbeiter nutzte systematisch Überweisungsfehler, um über Jahre hinweg beträchtliche Geldbeträge zu stehlen. Dieser Fall verdeutlicht nicht nur die Schwachstellen in internen Kontrollsystemen, sondern auch das Potenzial für systematisches Risiko und die daraus resultierenden finanziellen Schäden.  Dieser Bericht analysiert den Vorfall aus IT-Sicherheits-, Risikomanagement- und Compliance-Perspektive, identifiziert die Ursachen der Fehler, schlägt präventive Maßnahmen vor und diskutiert die Notwendigkeit einer umfassenden Sicherheitskultur innerhalb von Finanzinstituten.</p><br />
<p><strong>1. Einleitung:</strong></p><br />
<p>Die Integrität von Finanztransaktionen ist für das Vertrauen in das Bankensystem unerlässlich.  Überweisungen, als Kernprozess in der Bankenbranche, sind anfällig für Manipulationen, wenn interne Kontrollmechanismen nicht ausreichend funktionieren oder durch Schwachstellen in IT-Systemen ausgenutzt werden. Der kürzlich öffentlich bekannt gewordene Fall eines Mitarbeiters, der einen Betrug in Höhe von über 330-fachem Gehalt durch systematische Überweisungsfehler ermöglicht hat, stellt eine alarmierende Entwicklung dar und erfordert eine umfassende Neubewertung der Sicherheitsstrategien von Banken und Finanzinstituten. Dieser Bericht untersucht die Hintergründe dieses Vorfalls, analysiert die beteiligten Risiken und schlägt Maßnahmen zur Minimierung ähnlicher Vorfälle vor.</p><br />
<p><strong>2. Analyse des Vorfalls:</strong></p><br />
<p>Die Tsecurity-Berichterstattung (https://tsecurity.de/de/2669269/IT+Nachrichten/%C3%9Cberweisungsfehler+macht+Mitarbeiter+reich%3A+330-faches+Gehalt+und+untergetaucht/) beschreibt, wie der Mitarbeiter systematisch Überweisungen mit geringen Beträgen absprach. Diese kleinen Beträge wurden über einen längeren Zeitraum und durch wiederholte, scheinbar harmlose Transaktionen aufgebaut. Dies ermöglichte es ihm, die verdächtigen Aktivitäten zu verschleiern und die Überwachung durch interne Kontrollmechanismen zu umgehen. Die Analyse der Tsecurity-Daten legt nahe, dass der Mitarbeiter Zugriff auf sensible Daten hatte, die er für seine Manipulationen nutzte.  Es ist wahrscheinlich, dass er Kenntnisse über die IT-Systeme der Bank und deren Sicherheitslücken erlangt hat.</p><br />
<p><strong>3. Risikobetrachtung aus IT-Sicherheits-, Risikomanagement- und Compliance-Perspektive:</strong></p><br />
<ul><br />
<li><strong>IT-Sicherheit:</strong> Der Fall verdeutlicht die Notwendigkeit, die IT-Infrastruktur von Finanzinstituten kontinuierlich zu überprüfen und zu verbessern.  Dies umfasst die Implementierung robuster Zugriffskontrollen, die Überwachung von Benutzeraktivitäten, die Durchführung regelmäßiger Penetrationstests und die Nutzung von Technologien zur Betrugserkennung (Fraud Detection Systems).  Die Manipulation des Mitarbeiters deutet auf eine Schwäche in der Authentifizierung und Autorisierungsmechanismen hin.</li><br />
<li><strong>Risikomanagement:</strong> Die Bank scheinbar unzureichende Risikobewertung dieser spezifischen Transaktionsarten. Überweisungen sollten als kritische Prozessschritte identifiziert und entsprechend risikomatig behandelt werden. Es fehlt an einer formalen Risikobetrachtung, die das Potenzial für systematische Manipulationen berücksichtigt hätte.</li><br />
<li><strong>Compliance:</strong> Der Vorfall unterstreicht die Bedeutung der Einhaltung von regulatorischen Anforderungen (z.B. Geldwäschegesetz – GWG) und internen Compliance-Richtlinien.  Banken müssen sicherstellen, dass ihre Prozesse den gesetzlichen Vorgaben entsprechen und dass Risiken im Zusammenhang mit Finanztransaktionen angemessen gemanagt werden.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p><strong>4. Ursachenanalyse:</strong></p><br />
<p>Mehrere Faktoren trugen vermutlich zu diesem Vorfall bei:</p><br />
<ul><br />
<li><strong>Mangelnde Kontrollen:</strong> Fehlende oder unzureichende Überprüfungen von Überweisungen, insbesondere von solchen mit geringen Beträgen.</li><br />
<li><strong>Schwachstellen in der IT-Systemarchitektur:</strong> Möglicherweise gab es Schwachstellen in den Zugriffskontrollmechanismen, die es dem Mitarbeiter ermöglichten, sensible Daten zu manipulieren.</li><br />
<li><strong>Fehlende Risikobewusstsein:</strong>  Ein mangelndes Bewusstsein innerhalb des Unternehmens für das Potenzial von systematischen Betrugsversuchen.</li><br />
<li><strong>Menschliches Versagen:</strong> Der Mitarbeiter nutzte eine Schwachstelle in der Systemarchitektur aus, die auf menschlichem Versagen beruhte.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p><strong>5. Präventive Maßnahmen und Empfehlungen:</strong></p><br />
<ul><br />
<li><strong>Robuste Zugriffskontrollen:</strong> Implementierung von Multi-Faktor-Authentifizierung (MFA) für alle Benutzer mit Zugriff auf Überweisungssysteme.</li><br />
<li><strong>Überwachung und Betrugserkennung:</strong> Einsatz von fortschrittlichen Betrugserkennungssystemen, die verdächtige Transaktionsmuster erkennen können. Diese Systeme sollten nicht nur auf große Beträge, sondern auch auf ungewöhnliche Muster achten.</li><br />
<li><strong>Strenge Überprüfungsmechanismen:</strong> Einführung automatisierter Kontrollen für alle Überweisungen, insbesondere für solche mit geringen Beträgen.  Dies könnte die Überprüfung der Begünstigtendaten, die Validierung von Transaktionsbeträgen und die Abweichung von vordefinierten Richtlinien umfassen.</li><br />
<li><strong>Schulung und Sensibilisierung:</strong> Regelmäßige Schulungen für Mitarbeiter zu Themen wie Risikomanagement, Betrugsprävention und Compliance-Richtlinien.</li><br />
<li><strong>Kontinuierliche Risikoanalyse:</strong> Durchführung regelmäßiger Risikobewertungen, die das Potenzial für systematische Manipulationen berücksichtigt.</li><br />
<li><strong>Whistleblower-Systeme:</strong> Etablierung von Anonymen Whistleblower-Systemen, um Mitarbeiter zu ermutigen, verdächtige Aktivitäten zu melden.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p><strong>6. Schlussfolgerung:</strong></p><br />
<p>Der Fall des überweisungsbetrügerlichen Mitarbeiters ist ein deutliches Warnsignal für die Bankenbranche.  Er zeigt, dass auch gut funktionierende IT-Systeme und Kontrollmechanismen durch menschliches Versagen und systematische Manipulationen kompromittiert werden können. Eine umfassende Sicherheitskultur, kombiniert mit robusten IT-Sicherheitsmaßnahmen und einem starken Risikomanagement, ist unerlässlich, um solche Vorfälle zu verhindern und das Vertrauen in das Finanzsystem zu erhalten.  Die kontinuierliche Überprüfung und Verbesserung der Sicherheitsstrategien sind von entscheidender Bedeutung, um den sich ständig weiterentwickelnden Bedrohungen im Bereich des Cyberbetrugs entgegenzuwirken.</p><br />
<p><strong>Disclaimer:</strong> Dieser Bericht basiert auf öffentlich zugänglichen Informationen und stellt keine vollständige Analyse des Vorfalls dar. Die genannten Empfehlungen dienen lediglich als Orientierungshilfe für die Verbesserung der IT-Sicherheit und Risikomanagementprozesse in Finanzinstituten.</p><br />

<li><strong>Identifizierung der Quelle:</strong> Die Anonymität des Briefes stellt eine erhebliche Herausforderung für die Ermittlung der tatsächlichen Quelle dar. Mögliche Szenarien umfassen:<br />
<ul><br />
<li><strong>Insider-Bedrohung:</strong> Ein Mitarbeiter von Tesla oder einem Zulieferer könnte den Brief verfasst haben, um interne Prozesse zu beeinflussen oder einen finanziellen Vorteil zu erzielen.</li><br />
<li><strong>Externer Akteur:</strong> Eine konkurrierende Automobilhersteller, eine Regierung (z.B. China) oder ein Aktivistengruppe könnte den Brief als Teil einer gezielten Desinformationskampagne eingesetzt haben.</li><br />
<li><strong>&quot;Hacktivist&quot;:</strong> Ein einzelner Hacker mit dem Ziel der Provokation und Rufschädigung.</li><br />
</ul><br />
</li><br />
<li><strong>Verbreitungskanäle:</strong> Die Geschwindigkeit und Reichweite der Verbreitung des Briefes wurden durch soziale Medien, Nachrichtenportale und möglicherweise auch gezielte E-Mail-Kampagnen verstärkt.  Die Analyse dieser Kanäle ist entscheidend für das Verständnis der Dynamik der Bedrohung.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p><strong>3. Geopolitische und Strategische Implikationen:</strong></p><br />
<ul><br />
<li><strong>Lieferkettenrisiko:</strong> Die Warnung im Brief verdeutlicht die zunehmende Anfälligkeit globaler Lieferketten gegenüber politischen Entscheidungen und regulatorischen Änderungen. Unternehmen müssen ihre Abhängigkeiten kritisch bewerten und alternative Beschaffungsquellen in Betracht ziehen.</li><br />
<li><strong>Reputationsmanagement:</strong> Der Vorfall kann dem Ruf von Tesla schaden, insbesondere wenn die Quelle des Briefes nicht eindeutig identifiziert werden kann. Ein proaktives Kommunikationsstrategie ist unerlässlich, um die Glaubwürdigkeit zu wahren und Vertrauen aufzubauen.</li><br />
<li><strong>Geopolitische Spannungen:</strong> Die Warnung könnte als Instrument zur Eskalation geopolitischer Spannungen genutzt worden sein. Tesla muss sich der potenziellen Auswirkungen dieser Spannungen bewusst sein und seine Interessen aktiv verteidigen.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p><strong>4. Empfehlungen für Risikominimierung (aus IT-Sicherheits-Perspektive):</strong></p><br />
<ul><br />
<li><strong>Stärkung der Informationssicherheit:</strong> Implementierung robuster Prozesse zur Erkennung und Bekämpfung von Desinformation, einschließlich Überwachung sozialer Medien, Analyse von Nachrichtenquellen und Schulung der Mitarbeiter im Umgang mit Bedrohungen.</li><br />
<li><strong>Supply Chain Security:</strong> Durchführung umfassender Risikobewertungen der Lieferkette, Identifizierung kritischer Abhängigkeiten und Entwicklung von Notfallplänen für den Fall von Unterbrechungen.</li><br />
<li><strong>Incident Response Plan:</strong> Erstellung eines detaillierten Plans zur Reaktion auf Vorfälle wie die Verbreitung von gefälschten Nachrichten oder Cyberangriffe.</li><br />
<li><strong>Whistleblower-Programme:</strong>  Förderung einer Kultur der Transparenz und Ermutigung von Mitarbeitern, verdächtige Aktivitäten zu melden.</li><br />
<li><strong>Authentifizierung und Identitätsmanagement:</strong> Stärkung der Sicherheitsmaßnahmen zur Authentifizierung von Nutzern und zur Kontrolle des Zugriffs auf sensible Informationen.</li><br />
</ul><br />
<p><strong>5. Fazit:</strong></p><br />
<p>Der anonyme Brief von Tesla dient als Mahnung für Unternehmen, die in globalen Lieferketten tätig sind, sowie für die Notwendigkeit einer proaktiven Risikobewertung und -managementstrategie. Die Kombination aus Cybersecurity-Bedrohungen, geopolitischen Unsicherheiten und der Fähigkeit zur Desinformation stellt eine komplexe Herausforderung dar, die einen ganzheitlichen Ansatz erfordert. Die Analyse dieses Vorfalls sollte als Ausgangspunkt für die Entwicklung von Strategien dienen, um Unternehmen vor ähnlichen Angriffen in Zukunft zu schützen.</p><br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[An anonymous reader quotes a report from the EFF: EFF is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Mark Klein, a bona fide hero who risked civil liability and criminal prosecution to help expose a massive spying program that violated the rights of millions of Americans. Mark didn't set out to change the world. For 22 years, he was a telecommunications technician for AT&amp;T, most of that in San Francisco. But he always had a strong sense of right and wrong and a commitment to privacy. When the New York Times reported in late 2005 that the NSA was engaging in spying inside the U.S., Mark realized that he had witnessed how it was happening. He also realized that the President was not telling Americans the truth about the program. And, though newly retired, he knew that he had to do something. He showed up at EFF's front door in early 2006 with a simple question: "Do you folks care about privacy?"
 
We did. And what Mark told us changed everything. Through his work, Mark had learned that the National Security Agency (NSA) had installed a secret, secure room at AT&amp;T's central office in San Francisco, called Room 641A. Mark was assigned to connect circuits carrying Internet data to optical "splitters" that sat just outside of the secret NSA room but were hardwired into it. Those splitters -- as well as similar ones in cities around the U.S. -- made a copy of all data going through those circuits and delivered it into the secret room. Mark not only saw how it works, he had the documents to prove it. He brought us over a hundred pages of authenticated AT&amp;T schematic diagrams and tables. Mark also shared this information with major media outlets, numerous Congressional staffers, and at least two senators personally. One, Senator Chris Dodd, took the floor of the Senate to acknowledge Mark as the great American hero he was.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<p>Nach den Oberklasse-Chips <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/2586716/nvidia-rtx-5090-test.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RTX 5090 (Test)</a> und <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/2591857/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5080-test.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RTX 5080 (Test)</a> sowie der Nvidia-Mittelklasse <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/2626314/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070-test.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RTX 5070 (Test)</a> und <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/2613031/nvidia-geforce-rtx-5070-ti-test-review.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">RTX 5070 Ti (Test)</a> will der GPU-Monopolist nun seine Einsteigerchips fürs Full-HD-Gaming vorstellen. Die Angaben stammen vom gut informierten Whistleblower “kopite7kimi”, der Chiptyp, Recheneinheiten, VRAM-Bestückung und Leistungsaufnahme durchgestochen hat. Kaufen können Sie die 1080p-Chips allerdings erst im April. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading toc">Nvidia Geforce RTX 5050</h2>



<p>Beginnen wir mit dem voraussichtlich günstigsten Grafikprozessor der RTX-5000er-Serie, dem <a href="https://x.com/kopite7kimi/status/1898784342249459781" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nvidia Geforce RTX 5050</a>. Im Vergleich zum Vorgänger 4050, den Nvidia nur für Laptops angeboten hat, darf die 5050-Variante jetzt auch wieder auf Desktop-Grafikkarten verbaut werden. Hintergründe sind vermutlich das generell sehr hohe Preisniveau und der messbare Leistungsabstand zur RTX 3050.</p>



<p>Der Nvidia Geforce RTX 5050 basiert demnach auf dem GB207-300 mit 2.560 Shader und 8 GB GDDR6-Videospeicher, die über ein 128 Bit breites Interface angebunden sind. Damit wird die 5050 die einzige 5000er-GPU sein, der Nvidia keinen flotten GDDR7-Speicher spendiert. Die Thermal Design Power (TDP) soll bei 130 Watt liegen. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading toc">Leistungs-Einschätzung: RTX 5050</h2>



<p>Der Vergleich zum Vorgänger-Chip ist hier schwierig, da es sich beim RTX 4050 um eine Laptop-GPU handelt, die naturgemäß weniger Strom verbrauchen darf. Immerhin erhöht Nvidia die Speicherbestückung von 6 auf 8 GB VRAM und das Speicherinterface von 96 auf 128 Bit. Die Anzahl der Shader bleibt mit 2.560 aber gleich. </p>



<p><strong>Lesetipp:</strong> <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/1165008/der-ideale-gaming-prozessor-tipps-zum-cpu-kauf.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Der ideale Gaming-Prozessor ab 90 Euro</a></p>



<p>Große Leistungssprünge sollten Sie vom RTX 5050 also nicht erwarten. Wir vermuten, dass die 5050-Karten generell fürs 1080p-Gaming geeignet sind, allerdings dürften anspruchsvolle Spiele nicht flüssig mit den höchsten Qualitätseinstellungen laufen. Wenn es sehr gut läuft, könnten Sie aber zumindest eingeschränkt Raytracing mit der 5050 nutzen, bei der 4050 war dies aufgrund der niedrigen RT-Leistung meist nicht möglich oder sinnvoll.</p>



<p>Da Nvidia noch keine unverbindliche Preisempfehlung für Grafikkarten mit dem RTX 5050 verraten hat, lässt sich noch keine Aussage über das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis treffen. Aber Hand aufs Herz, bei den aktuellen Straßenpreisen für Grafikkarten könnte das auch niemand mit Hilfe einer offiziellen Nvidia-UVP realistisch einschätzen. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading toc">Nvidia Geforce RTX 5060</h2>



<p>Die 60er-Modelle gehören zu den Bestsellern von Nvidia, die Legende schlechthin ist die <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/1160522/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060-im-test.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Geforce GTX 1060</a> aus dem Jahre 2016. Bester Beleg: Noch 2022 war die 1060 <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/1202678/geforce-gtx-1060-unter-steam-spielern-am-beliebtesten.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">die beliebteste Grafikkarte unter Steam-Spielern</a>. Ob Nvidia diese Tradition fortführen kann? Lassen wir Zahlen sprechen: </p>



<p>Die <a href="https://x.com/kopite7kimi/status/1898951554322883046" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nvidia Geforce RTX 5060</a> ist mit 3.840 Shader-Einheiten ausgestattet, ein plus von 25 Prozent gegenüber der 4060. Zudem setzt Nvidia bei der 5060 auf den schnelleren GDDR7-Speicher mit 65 Prozent höherer Bandbreite, bleibt aber geizig bei der Speicherausstattung und -anbindung, die mit 8 GB und 128 Bit unverändert zum 4060-Vorgänger bleibt. </p>

<p>Zudem darf die 5050 bis zu 150 Watt aus dem Netzteil ziehen, Nvidia hat die TDP hier um rund 30 Prozent angehoben. Gut möglich, dass Nvidia, wie bereits bei den 70er- 80er- und 90er-Modellen die Zusatzenergie in eine höhere GPU-Taktrate investiert. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading toc">Leistungs-Einschätzung: RTX 5060</h2>



<p>Rein von den technischen Daten könnte die RTX 5060 wieder ein Bestseller werden, die Karte dürfte mit einem Tempoplus zwischen 25 und 30 Prozent spürbar schneller sein als eine 4060. RTX-5060-Karten dürften sich sehr gut fürs flüssige Full-HD-Gaming mit hohen bis maximalen Qualitätseinstellungen eignen. Für einen potentiellen Verkaufsschlager muss aber auch der Preis stimmen, hier gilt es also erst einmal den Verkaufsstart im April abzuwarten.</p>



<p>Zukunftssicher ist die 5060 aber nicht, dazu müsste Sie mehr Videospeicher haben. 8 GB sind im Jahre 2025 einfach zu knapp bemessen fürs 1080p-Gaming. Unser <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/1924276/nvidia-geforce-rtx-4060-ti-test.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Testfazit zur 4060</a> lautete schon vor knapp zwei Jahren: “Aber nicht nur beim Gaming, sondern auch im Kreativbereich kann der RTX 4060 Ti die Speicherkonfiguration aus 8 GB VRAM und einem 128-Bit Interface zum Problem werden.”</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading toc">Nvidia Geforce RTX 5060 Ti</h2>



<p>Der Grafikprozessor <a href="https://x.com/kopite7kimi/status/1898787031612010949" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 Ti</a> soll auf dem GB206-300-A1 basieren und 4608 Shader-Einheiten mitbringen. Auch hier spendiert Nvidia den Karten schnellen GDDR7-Videospeicher, der ebenfalls über einen 128 Bit schmalen Bus angebunden ist. Wahlweise können die Hersteller ihre Grafikkarten mit 8 oder 16 GB VRAM ausstatten. </p>



<p>Die maximale Leistungsaufnahme steigt leicht von 160 respektive 165 auf 180 Watt. Auch hier fehlen konkrete Angaben zu den GPU-Taktraten und der unverbindlichen Preisempfehlung.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading toc">Leistungs-Einschätzung: RTX 5060 Ti</h2>



<p>Die RTX 5060 Ti dürfte etwas von den zusätzlichen 6 Prozent mehr Shader-Einheiten profitieren. Mehr Tempo sollte auch der GDDR7-Speicher bringen. Spielraum gibt’s auch bei den GPU-Taktraten, die Nvidia bereits bei den Ober- und Mittelklasse-Grafikprozessoren der 5000er-Reihe im Vergleich zu den Vorgänger-Chips erhöht hat. </p>

<p>Ein Tempoplus zwischen 10 und 15 Prozent im Vergleich zur 4060 Ti sollten also mindestens drin sein. RTX-5060-Ti-Karten dürften sich sehr gut fürs flüssige Full-HD-Gaming mit maximalen Qualitätseinstellungen eignen. Die 16-GB-Varianten sollten auch Ausflüge ins 1440p-Lager erlauben, vermutlich aber mit Einschränkungen. </p>



<p>Da sich der Leistungszuwachs im Vergleich zur 5060 aber eher bescheiden ausnimmt, muss hier um so mehr der Preis stimmen. Sie sollten also auch hier vor der Kaufentscheidung die Straßenpreise abwarten. </p>



<p>Und auch für die 5060 Ti mit 8 GB VRAM gilt: Im Jahre 2025 ist das für eine 1080p-Grafikkarte nicht mehr zukunftssicher. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[An anonymous reader quotes a report from the BBC: A former senior Facebook executive has told the BBC how the social media giant worked "hand in glove" with the Chinese government on potential ways of allowing Beijing to censor and control content in China. Sarah Wynn-Williams -- a former global public policy director -- says in return for gaining access to the Chinese market of hundreds of millions of users, Facebook's founder, Mark Zuckerberg, considered agreeing to hiding posts that were going viral, until they could be checked by the Chinese authorities.
 
Ms Williams -- who makes the claims in a new book -- has also filed a whistleblower complaint with the US markets regulator, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), alleging Meta misled investors. The BBC has reviewed the complaint. Facebook's parent company Meta, says Ms Wynn-Williams had her employment terminated in 2017 "for poor performance." It is "no secret we were once interested" in operating services in China, it adds. "We ultimately opted not to go through with the ideas we'd explored." Meta referred us to Mark Zuckerberg's comments from 2019, when he said: "We could never come to agreement on what it would take for us to operate there, and they [China] never let us in."
 
Facebook also used algorithms to spot when young teenagers were feeling vulnerable as part of research aimed at advertisers, Ms Wynn-Williams alleges. A former New Zealand diplomat, she joined Facebook in 2011, and says she watched the company grow from "a front row seat." Now she wants to show some of the "decision-making and moral compromises" that she says went on when she was there. It is a critical moment, she adds, as "many of the people I worked with... are going to be central" to the introduction of AI. In her memoir, Careless People, Ms Wynn-Williams paints a picture of what she alleges working on Facebook's senior team was like.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Washington Post reports:

Meta was willing to go to extreme lengths to censor content and shut down political dissent in a failed attempt to win the approval of the Chinese Communist Party and bring Facebook to millions of internet users in China, according to a new whistleblower complaint from a former global policy director at the company. 

The complaint by Sarah Wynn-Williams, who worked on a team handling China policy, alleges that the social media giant so desperately wanted to enter the lucrative China market that it was willing to allow the ruling party to oversee all social media content appearing in the country and quash dissenting opinions. Meta, then called Facebook, developed a censorship system for China in 2015 and planned to install a "chief editor" who would decide what content to remove and could shut down the entire site during times of "social unrest," according to a copy of the 78-page complaint exclusively seen by The Washington Post. 

Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg also agreed to crack down on the account of a high-profile Chinese dissident living in the United States following pressure from a high-ranking Chinese official the company hoped would help them enter China, according to the complaint, which was filed in April to the Securities and Exchange Commission [SEC]. When asked about its efforts to enter China, Meta executives repeatedly "stonewalled and provided nonresponsive or misleading information" to investors and American regulators, according to the complaint. 

Wynn-Williams bolstered her SEC complaint with internal Meta documents about the company's plans, which were reviewed by The Post. Wynn-Williams, who was fired from her job in 2017, is also scheduled to release a memoir this week documenting her time at the company, titled "Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism." According to a memo in the complaint, Meta leaders faced aggressive pressure by Chinese government officials to host Chinese users' data to local data centers, which Wynn-Williams alleges would have made it easier for the Chinese Communist Party to covertly obtain the personal information of its citizens. 
Wynn-Williams told the Washington Post that "for many years Meta has been working hand in glove with the Chinese Communist Party, briefing them on the latest technological developments and lying about it." 
Reached for a comment, Meta spokesman Andy Stone told the Washington Post it was "no secret" they'd been interested in operating in China. "This was widely reported beginning a decade ago. We ultimately opted not to go through with the ideas we'd explored, which Mark Zuckerberg announced in 2019." Although the Post shares new details about what a Facebook privacy policy staffer offer China in negotations in 2014. ("In exchange for the ability to establish operations in China, FB will agree to grant the Chinese government access to Chinese users' data — including Hongkongese users' data.") 

The Post also describes one iteration of a proposed agreement in 2015. "To aid the effort, Meta built a censorship system specially designed for China to review, including the ability to automatically detect restricted terms and popular content on Facebook, according to the complaint... 

"In 2017, Meta covertly launched a handful of social apps under the name of a China-based company created by one of its employees, according to the complaint."<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[EFishery, one of Indonesia's most prominent startups, may have inflated its revenue and profit over several years, according to an internal investigation triggered by a whistleblower's claim about the company's accounting. Bloomberg News: A preliminary, ongoing probe into the agritech startup, backed by investors including SoftBank and Temasek, estimates that management inflated revenue by almost $600 million in the nine months through September last year, according to a 52-page draft report circulated among investors and reviewed by Bloomberg News. That would mean more than 75% of the reported figures were fake, the report said. 

EFishery, which deploys feeders to fish and shrimp farmers in Indonesia, was a darling of the nation's startup scene and scored a valuation of $1.4 billion when G42, an AI firm controlled by United Arab Emirates royal Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, backed its latest funding round. It has raised hundreds of millions of dollars in an attempt to modernize the country's fish industry, providing farmers with smart feeding devices as well as feed, and then buying their produce to sell into the broader market.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: Apple has agreed (PDF) to pay $95 million to settle a lawsuit alleging that its voice assistant Siri routinely recorded private conversations that were then sold to third parties for targeted ads. In the proposed class-action settlement (PDF) -- which comes after five years of litigation -- Apple admitted to no wrongdoing. Instead, the settlement refers to "unintentional" Siri activations that occurred after the "Hey, Siri" feature was introduced in 2014, where recordings were apparently prompted without users ever saying the trigger words, "Hey, Siri." Sometimes Siri would be inadvertently activated, a whistleblower told The Guardian, when an Apple Watch was raised and speech was detected. The only clue that users seemingly had of Siri's alleged spying was eerily accurate targeted ads that appeared after they had just been talking about specific items like Air Jordans or brands like Olive Garden, Reuters noted. It's currently unknown how many customers were affected, but if the settlement is approved, the tech giant has offered up to $20 per Siri-enabled device for any customers who made purchases between September 17, 2014, and December 31, 2024. That includes iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, MacBooks, HomePods, iPod touches, and Apple TVs, the settlement agreement noted. Each customer can submit claims for up to five devices.
 
A hearing when the settlement could be approved is currently scheduled for February 14. If the settlement is certified, Apple will send notices to all affected customers. Through the settlement, customers can not only get monetary relief but also ensure that their private phone calls are permanently deleted. While the settlement appears to be a victory for Apple users after months of mediation, it potentially lets Apple off the hook pretty cheaply. If the court had certified the class action and Apple users had won, Apple could've been fined more than $1.5 billion under the Wiretap Act alone, court filings showed. But lawyers representing Apple users decided to settle, partly because data privacy law is still a "developing area of law imposing inherent risks that a new decision could shift the legal landscape as to the certifiability of a class, liability, and damages," the motion to approve the settlement agreement said. It was also possible that the class size could be significantly narrowed through ongoing litigation, if the court determined that Apple users had to prove their calls had been recorded through an incidental Siri activation -- potentially reducing recoverable damages for everyone.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[America's aerospace industry is overseen by the Federal Aviation Administration (or FAA) — which also handles safety warnings from the industry's whistleblowers. But the Seattle Times says an analysis of reports to Congress found "an overwhelmed system delivering underwhelming results for whistleblowers... More than 90% of safety complaints from 2020 through 2023 ended with no violation found by the FAA, while whistleblowers reported them at great personal and professional risk."

Aside from the FAA's in-house program, employees of Boeing, Spirit and the FAA can report safety hazards to the Office of Special Counsel, which has no FAA ties, or through internal employer complaint programs, such as Boeing's Speak Up and Spirit's Quality 360, to trigger company reviews... In the aftermath of the door-plug blowout over Portland, Boeing specifically asked its employees to use the Speak Up program or the FAA's internal process to report any concerns, according to Boeing spokesperson Jessica Kowal. Both have done a poor job protecting whistleblowers from retaliation, according to a congressionally appointed expert panel... While both were designed to guard against retaliation, critics say they have instead become enablers of it... 

A panel of aviation safety experts in February rebuked Boeing's Speak Up program in a report to Congress. Whistleblower advocates criticized Speak Up for commonly outing whistleblowers to the supervisors they're complaining about, exposing them to retaliation. Managers sometimes investigated complaints against themselves. Employees mistrusted the program's promise of anonymity. Collectively, the befuddling maze of whistleblower options sowed "confusion about reporting systems that may discourage employees from submitting safety concerns," according to the expert panel's report.... 

[Boeing quality inspector Sam Mohawk, who alleged the 737 MAX line in Renton was losing track of subpar aircraft parts], continues to pursue his FAA claim, originally submitted through Boeing's Speak Up program. Months passed before Boeing addressed Mohawk's complaint. When it did, Mohawk's report was passed to the managers he was complaining about, according to Brian Knowles, Mohawk's South Carolina-based lawyer. "If you do Speak Up, just know that your report is going to go straight to the guys you're accusing of wrongdoing. They aren't going to say, 'Thanks for speaking up against us,'" Knowles said. 
The article includes this quote about the FAA's in-house whistleblower program from Tom Devine, a whistleblower attorney with nearly a half-century of experience across a spectrum of federal agencies, and legal director of the nonprofit Government Accountability Project, which helps whistleblowers navigate the federal system. "It's been a disaster from the beginning. We tell everyone to avoid it because it's a trap... We've warned whistleblowers not to entrust their rights there."<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[A new report reveals that the VW Group left sensitive data for 800,000 electric vehicles from Audi, VW, Seat, and Skoda poorly secured on an Amazon cloud, exposing precise GPS locations, battery statuses, and user habits for months. Carscoops reports: It gets worse. A more tech-savvy user could reportedly connect vehicles to their owners' personal credentials, thanks to additional data accessible through VW Group's online services Crucially, in 466,000 of the 800,000 cases, the location data was so precise that anyone with access could create a detailed profile of each owner's daily habits. As reported by Spiegel, the massive list of affected owners isn't just a who's-who of regular folks. It includes German politicians, entrepreneurs, Hamburg police officers (the entire EV fleet, no less), and even suspected intelligence service employees. Yes, even spies may have been caught up in this digital debacle.
 
This glaring error originated from Cariad, a VW Group company that focuses on software, due to an error that occurred in the summer of 2024. An anonymous whistleblower used freely accessible software to dig up the sensitive information and promptly alerted Chaos Computer Club (CCC), Europe's largest hacker association. CCC wasted no time contacting Lower Saxony's State Data Protection Officer, the Federal Ministry of the Interior, and other security bodies. They also gave VW Group and Cariad 30 days to address the issue before going public. According to CCC, Cariad's technical team "responded quickly, thoroughly and responsibly," blocking unauthorized access to its customers' data.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<p>A senior SAP Signavio manager is alleged to have systematically bullied, sexually harassed and manipulated female employees. Despite various complaints, company management is said to have taken no action to stop him, and even promoted him.</p>



<p>At least, that is what the allegations made by five female former employees of the Berlin-based BPM division of Germany’s largest software company suggest, in an exclusive report by US news portal Bloomberg.</p>



<p>The new allegations come to light just a few months after the <a href="https://www.cio.com/article/3502096/sap-cto-to-step-down-after-inappropriate-behavior.html">departure of former SAP CTO Jürgen Müller</a>. He had to resign at the beginning of September 2024 after “inappropriate behavior” at an SAP company event. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bullying, manipulation, misogyny</h2>



<p>The five people affected told Bloomberg about systematic bullying by their line manager, which either led them to change teams or to leave the company altogether. The manager also took advantage of the fact that the employees were not from Western Europe and did not speak German. In some cases, their residence status also depended on their employment at SAP, according to Bloomberg.</p>



<p>The specific allegations against the senior Signavio manager are wide-ranging and include:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>arbitrary criticism of work results without providing concrete feedback;</li>



<li>acts of sabotage against the work of those affected;</li>



<li>the unjustified assignment of “menial” tasks;</li>



<li>lies and intrigues to isolate those affected from their team;</li>



<li>verbal humiliation and discriminatory insults, and</li>



<li>sexual harassment.</li>
</ul>



<p>Despite numerous complaints to the HR department, no action was taken by SAP’s compliance department to stop the manager’s behavior, according to those affected. Instead, one of those affected was advised to look for a position outside her team.</p>



<p>Disciplinary measures were only taken at the end of 2023, and the Signavio manager was instructed in two cases to communicate with the affected employees exclusively via the HR department. However, this did not change the manager’s behavior, writes Bloomberg, citing conversations with the ex-employees. </p>



<p>On the contrary, the company finally promoted the accused to “Director” in mid-2024. According to the Bloomberg report, this prompted one of those affected to ultimately hand in her notice — and submit a whistleblower report to SAP’s compliance department. As a result, she was told by two compliance officers that her allegations could not be upheld and that even if they were, the manager had not violated SAP policies. Before the employee left Signavio, she also summarized the allegations against her manager in an email and sent it to 62 female colleagues in the company. Neither SAP nor the manager himself wanted to comment on the allegations to Bloomberg.</p>



<p>SAP responded to our questions by saying only, “We take all reports of misconduct extremely seriously and have a zero-tolerance policy for harassment of any kind. SAP has a robust process in place to investigate all reported allegations. If an employee’s behavior is not in line with our policies and values, we take appropriate action immediately. We do not comment on individual investigations or disciplinary matters.”</p>



<p><em>Translated from <a href="https://www.computerwoche.de/article/3629387/belohnt-sap-systematisches-mobbing.html">a report by our colleagues at Computerwoche</a>.</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[An anonymous reader shared this report from the SF Standard:



San Francisco police found Open AI whistleblower Suchir Balaji, 26, dead in his Lower Haight apartment November 26, SiliconValley.com reported on Friday. Police said there is "no evidence of foul play. "The manner of death has been determined to be suicide," David Serrano Sewell, director of the office of the city's chief medical examiner, told The Standard by email. 

Balaji, a former researcher for the company, accused OpenAI of using copyrighted material to train ChatGPT shortly after he quit the company in August. The New York Times profiled Balaji in a story focused on his whistleblowing in October. Multiple lawsuits against Open AI are expected to present information Balaji unearthed as key evidence. 

More details from TechCrunch:

After nearly four years working at OpenAI, Balaji quit the company when he realized the technology would bring more harm than good to society, he told The New York Times. Balaji's main concern was the way OpenAI allegedly used copyright data, and he believed its practices were damaging to the internet. 

"We are devastated to learn of this incredibly sad news today and our hearts go out to Suchir's loved ones during this difficult time," said an OpenAI spokesperson in an email to TechCrunch... 

On November 25, one day before police found Balaji's body, a court filing named the former OpenAI employee in a copyright lawsuit brought against the startup. As part of a good faith compromise, OpenAI agreed to search Balaji's custodial file related to the copyright concerns he had recently raised.

<h2>Einleitung</h2><br />
<p>Am 14. Februar 2023 wurde der Tod des ehemaligen OpenAI-Mitarbeiters, der als Whistleblower bekannt geworden war, öffentlich gemacht (OpenAI Whistleblower Found Dead, 2023). Der Mann hatte zuvor internen Informationen über die Künstliche Intelligenz (KI)-Forschungsfirma offengelegt und damit ein erhebliches Maß an Aufmerksamkeit auf die möglichen Risiken und ethischen Herausforderungen der KI-Technologie gelenkt. Dieser Artikel untersucht die Implikationen des Todesfalls für die IT-Sicherheit und den Schutz von Informanten in der tech-industriellen Landschaft.</p><br />
<h2>Hintergrund</h2><br />
<p>OpenAI ist ein hochmodernes Unternehmen, das sich auf die Entwicklung von fortschrittlicher Künstlicher Intelligenz spezialisiert hat. Der Whistleblower hatte interne Dokumente geleakt, die darauf hindeuteten, dass OpenAI seine KI-Modelle zu kommerziellen Zwecken missbraucht haben könnte, was im Widerspruch zur ursprünglichen Mission des Unternehmens steht, sicherheitsrelevante KI-Technologien für das Wohl der Menschheit zu entwickeln (Bender et al., 2021).</p><br />
<h2>Implikationen für die IT-Sicherheit</h2><br />
<p>Der Tod des Whistleblowers wirft einige besorgniserregende FragenRegarding the security of information technology (IT) on. Zunächst einmal stellt sich die Frage, ob OpenAI oder andere Unternehmen in der Lage sind, Informanten innerhalb ihrer eigenen Reihen zu schützen. Der Schutz von Whistleblowern ist von grundlegender Bedeutung für eine offene und transparente IT-Landschaft, da sie als eine der wichtigsten Quellen für die Offenlegung von Sicherheitslücken und unethischen Praktiken dienen (Miceli &amp; Near, 2002).</p><br />
<p>Zweitens könnte der Tod des Whistleblowers dazu führen, dass andere potenzielle Informanten innerhalb der Tech-Industrie zögern, ihre Stimmen zu erheben, aus Angst vor den möglichen Folgen. Dies kann dazu beitragen, dass Schwachstellen und unethische Praktiken in der IT-Sicherheit verborgen bleiben und somit die allgemeine Cybersecurity gefährden.</p><br />
<p>Schließlich wirft der Fall auch Fragen Regarding the security of AI-Modelle auf. Wenn OpenAI oder andere Unternehmen in der Lage sind, interne Informationen zu unterdrücken und Informanten zu schaden, könnte dies dazu führen, dass AI-Modelle unethisch oder unsicher eingesetzt werden, ohne dass die Öffentlichkeit davon Kenntnis erhält.</p><br />
<h2>Implikationen für den Schutz von Informanten</h2><br />
<p>Der Tod des Whistleblowers verdeutlicht auch die Bedeutung eines starken Schutzes für Informanten in der Tech-Industrie. Whistleblower-Gesetze sind ein wichtiger erster Schritt, um sicherzustellen, dass Unternehmen nicht willkürlich gegen Informanten vorgehen können (Jos, 2016). Allerdings müssen diese Gesetze auch strikt durchgesetzt werden, damit Unternehmen sich nicht auf legalen Weg</p><br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Workers at AI companies want Congress to grant them specific whistleblower protection, arguing that advancements in the technology pose threats that they can't legally expose under current law. From a report: "What people should be thinking about is the 100 ways in which these companies can lose control of these technologies," said Lawrence Lessig, a Harvard law professor who represented OpenAI employees and former employees raising issues about the company. Current dangers range from deepfake videos to algorithms that discriminate, and the technology is quickly becoming more sophisticated. Lessig called the argument that big tech companies and AI startups can police themselves naive. "If there's a risk, which there is, they're not going to take care of it," he said. "We need regulation."<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The British Post Office scandal "was first exposed by Computer Weekly in 2009, revealing the stories of seven subpostmasters and the problems they suffered due to Horizon accounting software," remembers Computer Weekly, "which led to the most widespread miscarriage of justice in British history." 

But now the Post Office "is investigating allegations that a senior executive instructed staff to destroy or conceal documents that could be of interest to the Post Office scandal public inquiry," Computer Weekly writes. A company employee acknowleged a report in an internal whistleblower program "regarding destroying or concealing material... allegations that a senior Post Office member of staff had instructed their team to destroy or conceal material of possible interest to the inquiry, and that the same individual had engaged in inappropriate behaviour."


The shocking revelation echoes evidence from appeals against wrongful convictions in 2021. During the Court of Appeal trials it was revealed that a senior Post Office executive instructed employees to shred documents that undermined an insistence that its Horizon computer system was robust, amid claims that errors in the system caused unexplained accounting shortfalls.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[An anonymous reader shares a report: Microsoft executives have been thinking lately about the end of the world. In a white paper published late last year, Brad Smith, the company's vice chair and president, and Melanie Nakagawa, its chief sustainability officer, described a "planetary crisis" that AI could help solve. Imagine an AI-assisted tool that helps reduce food waste, to name one example from the document, or some future technology that could "expedite decarbonization" by using AI to invent new designs for green tech. 

But as Microsoft attempts to buoy its reputation as an AI leader in climate innovation, the company is also selling its AI to fossil-fuel companies. Hundreds of pages of internal documents I've obtained, plus interviews I've conducted over the past year with 15 current and former employees and executives, show that the tech giant has
sought to market the technology to companies such as ExxonMobil and Chevron as a powerful tool for finding and developing new oil and gas reserves and maximizing their production -- all while publicly committing to dramatically reduce emissions. 

Although tech companies have long done business with the fossil-fuel industry, Microsoft's case is notable. It demonstrates how the AI boom contributes to one of the most pressing issues facing our planet today -- despite the fact that the technology is often lauded for its supposed potential to improve our world, as when Sam Altman testified to Congress that it could address issues such as "climate change and curing cancer." These deals also show how Microsoft can use the vagaries of AI to talk out of both sides of its mouth, courting the fossil-fuel industry while asserting its environmental bona fides. (Many of the documents I viewed have been submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of a whistleblower complaint alleging that the company has omitted from public disclosures "the serious climate and environmental harms caused by the technology it provides to the fossil fuel industry," arguing that the information is of material and financial importance to investors.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Register's Connor Jones reports: The U.S. is suing one of its leading research universities over a litany of alleged failures to meet cybersecurity standards set by the Department of Defense (DoD) for contract awardees. Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT), commonly referred to as Georgia Tech, and its contracting entity, Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC), are being investigated following whistleblower reports from insiders Christopher Craig and Kyle Koza about alleged (PDF) failures to protect controlled unclassified information (CUI). The series of allegations date back to 2019 and continued for years after, although Koza was said to have identified the issues as early as 2018.
 
Among the allegations is the suggestion that between May 2019 and February 2020, Georgia Tech's Astrolavos Lab -- ironically a group that focuses on cybersecurity issues affecting national security -- failed to develop and implement a cybersecurity plan that complied with DoD standards (NIST 800-171). When the plan was implemented in February 2020, the lawsuit alleges that it wasn't properly scoped -- not all the necessary endpoints were included -- and that for years afterward, Georgia Tech failed to maintain that plan in line with regulations. Additionally, the Astrolavos Lab was accused of failing to implement anti-malware solutions across devices and the lab's network. The lawsuit alleges that the university approved the lab's refusal to deploy the anti-malware software "to satisfy the demands of the professor that headed the lab," the DoJ said. This is claimed to have occurred between May 2019 and December 2021. Refusing to install anti-malware solutions at a contractor like this is not allowed. In fact, it violates federal requirements and Georgia Tech's own policies, but allegedly happened anyway.
 
The university and the GTRC also, it is claimed, submitted a false cybersecurity assessment score in December 2020 -- a requirement for all DoD contractors to demonstrate they're meeting compliance standards. The two organizations are accused of issuing themselves a score of 98, which was later deemed to be fraudulent based on various factors. To summarize, the issue centers around the claim that the assessment was carried out on a "fictitious" environment, so on that basis the score wasn't given to a system related to the DoD contract, the US alleges. The claims are being made under the False Claims Act (FCA), which is being utilized by the Civil Cyber-Fraud Initiative (CCFI), which was introduced in 2021 to punish entities that knowingly risk the safety of United States IT systems. It's a first-of-its-kind case being pursued as part of the CCFI. All previous cases brought under the CCFI were settled before they reached the litigation stage.<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<content:encoded><![CDATA[The Register's Connor Jones reports: The U.S. is suing one of its leading research universities over a litany of alleged failures to meet cybersecurity standards set by the Department of Defense (DoD) for contract awardees. Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT), commonly referred to as Georgia Tech, and its contracting entity, Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC), are being investigated following whistleblower reports from insiders Christopher Craig and Kyle Koza about alleged (PDF) failures to protect controlled unclassified information (CUI). The series of allegations date back to 2019 and continued for years after, although Koza was said to have identified the issues as early as 2018.
 
Among the allegations is the suggestion that between May 2019 and February 2020, Georgia Tech's Astrolavos Lab -- ironically a group that focuses on cybersecurity issues affecting national security -- failed to develop and implement a cybersecurity plan that complied with DoD standards (NIST 800-171). When the plan was implemented in February 2020, the lawsuit alleges that it wasn't properly scoped -- not all the necessary endpoints were included -- and that for years afterward, Georgia Tech failed to maintain that plan in line with regulations. Additionally, the Astrolavos Lab was accused of failing to implement anti-malware solutions across devices and the lab's network. The lawsuit alleges that the university approved the lab's refusal to deploy the anti-malware software "to satisfy the demands of the professor that headed the lab," the DoJ said. This is claimed to have occurred between May 2019 and December 2021. Refusing to install anti-malware solutions at a contractor like this is not allowed. In fact, it violates federal requirements and Georgia Tech's own policies, but allegedly happened anyway.
 
The university and the GTRC also, it is claimed, submitted a false cybersecurity assessment score in December 2020 -- a requirement for all DoD contractors to demonstrate they're meeting compliance standards. The two organizations are accused of issuing themselves a score of 98, which was later deemed to be fraudulent based on various factors. To summarize, the issue centers around the claim that the assessment was carried out on a "fictitious" environment, so on that basis the score wasn't given to a system related to the DoD contract, the US alleges.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Former U.S. president Donald Trump spoke at Nashville's Bitcoin Conference on Saturday. 

But he wasn't the only one there making headlines, according to a local newspaper called the Tennesseean:

Republican Sens. Cynthia Lummis and Tim Scott pledged their resolute support for the cryptocurrency industry at Nashville's Bitcoin2024 conference Friday — moments before whistleblower and political dissident Edward Snowden warned attendees to be wary of politicians trying to win them over. "Cast a vote, but don't join a cult," Snowden said. "They are not our tribe. They are not your personality. They have their own interests, their own values, their own things that they're chasing. Try to get what you need from them, but don't give yourself to them." 
Snowden didn't call out any politicians specifically, but the conference has drawn national attention for its robust lineup of legislators including former President Donald Trump, independent presidential nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr, former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy and a number of other senators. "Does this feel normal to you?" Snowden said. "When you look at the candidates, when you look at the dynamics, even the people on stage giving all the speeches, I'm not saying they're terrible at all, but it's a little unusual. The fact that they're here is a little unusual...." 

Two key tenets of Bitcoin are transparency and decentralization, which means anyone can view all Bitcoin transactions on a public ledger. Snowden said this kind of metadata could be dangerous in the wrong hands, especially with artificial intelligence innovations making it easier to collect. "It is fantasy to imagine they're not doing this," he said.... He added that other countries like China or Russia could be collecting this same data. Snowden said he's afraid the collection of transaction data could happen across financial institutions and ultimately be used against the customers. 


Also speaking was RFK Jr — who asked why Snowden hadn't already been pardoned, along with Julian Assange and Ross Ulbricht, when Donald Trump was president (as Kennedy promised to do). According to USA Today, Kennedy promised more than just creating a strategic reserve of Bitcoin worth more than half a trillion dollars:

Kennedy also pledged to sign an executive order directing the IRS to treat Bitcoin as an eligible asset for 1031 Exchange into real property — making transactions unreportable and by extension nontaxable — which prompted a roar of approval from the crowd. 


Though Trump's appearance also ended with a promise to have the government create a "strategic national bitcoin stockpile," NBC News notes that Trump "stopped short of offering many details."
Immediately following Trump's remarks, Senator Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., said she would introduce a bill to create the reserve. However, the price of bitcoin fell slightly in the wake of Trump's remarks Saturday, perhaps reflecting crypto traders' unmet expectations for a more definitive commitment on the reserve idea from the presidential candidate... 
Shortly after his morning remarks, Bitcoin Magazine reported that a group of Democratic representatives and candidates had sent a letter to the Democratic National Committee urging party leaders to be more supportive of crypto... 

On Saturday, the Financial Times reported [presidential candidate Kamala] Harris had approached top crypto companies seeking a "reset" of relations, citing unnamed sources. 

Ironically, in the end one conference attendee ended up telling Bloomberg that "It doesn't really matter who the president is. I don't really care much about it, because Bitcoin will do its thing regardless."<p></p><div class="share_submission">

<p>Signal bietet im Vergleich zu WhatsApp eine Reihe von Vorteilen, die besonders im Bereich Datenschutz und Sicherheit hervorstechen. Im Gegensatz zu WhatsApp, das zum Facebook-Konzern Meta gehört, sammelt Signal keine Nutzerdaten und verfolgt keine Aktivitäten der Benutzer. </p>



<p>Dies minimiert das Risiko von Datenschutzverletzungen und unerwünschtem Datenzugriff durch Dritte. Signal ist Open Source, was bedeutet, dass der Quellcode öffentlich einsehbar ist und von Sicherheitsexperten weltweit überprüft werden kann, um Sicherheitslücken schnell zu identifizieren und zu beheben.  </p>



<p>Diese Faktoren machen Signal zu einer bevorzugten Wahl für Nutzer, die besonderen Wert auf den Schutz ihrer Kommunikation legen. Der Whistleblower Edward Snowden setzt zum Beispiel seit Jahren auf Signal: “Es gibt einen Grund dafür: Ich nutze es jeden Tag und bin noch nicht tot”. Dazu kommt, dass es bei Signal weder Tracker noch Werbung gibt. Grund genug für uns, Ihnen zu zeigen, wie Sie von Whatsapp zu Signal wechseln. Denn der Umstieg von Whatsapp zu Signal ist kostenlos und ohne Probleme möglich.</p>



<p>Da auch Elon Musk Signal empfiehlt, und die Signal-App Open Source und DSGVO-konform ist, verzeichnet der Messenger aktuell einen hohen Zuwachs bei den Installationen.   <br></p>



<p><b>Download:</b> Signal können Sie direkt über die App-Stores für <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.thoughtcrime.securesms" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Android</a> und <a href="https://apps.apple.com/de/app/signal-private-messenger/id874139669" target="_blank" rel="noopener">iOS</a> kostenlos installieren.</p>



<p><b>Vorab:</b>  Grundsätzlich kann Signal alles, was auch Whatsapp kann. Der größte Nachteil von Signal ist derzeit sicherlich, dass die meisten Kontakte aus Ihrer Kontaktliste vermutlich (noch) nicht bei Signal sind.</p>



<p><a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/1163144/die-besten-messenger-apps-fuer-android-und-iphone.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Die besten Whatsapp-Alternativen: Signal, Telegram, Threema etc.</a> <br></p>



<p>Bei Signal gibt es keinen Speicher oder Backup in der Cloud. Die Chats und ihre Nachrichten bleiben verschlüsselt auf dem Smartphone und werden nach einiger Zeit auf Anforderung gelöscht. Die App liest zwar ebenfalls die Kontakte des Smartphones aus, sendet diese aber nicht an die Entwickler, sondern nutzt sie nur in der App. </p>



<p>Wer das ungenehmigte Auslesen von Kontakten generell nicht will, sollte sich Telegram anschauen. Diese App ist zwar kein Open Source (ihr Quellcode somit nicht einsehbar), sie liest aber keine Kontakte auf den Smartphones ohne Ihre vorherige Genehmigung aus.  <br></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading toc">Umstieg planen – Signal parallel zu Whatsapp einsetzen</h2>



<p>Vor dem Umstieg zu Signal sollten Sie zunächst die App installieren und dann nach denjenigen Ihrer bisherigen Kontakte Ausschau halten, die Signal ebenfalls nutzen. Sobald einer Ihrer Kontakte ebenfalls Signal installiert, zeigt Ihnen das Signal an. Rufen Sie Ihre Kontakte in Signal auf, sehen Sie automatisch, wer bereits Signal nutzt und können einen Chat erstellen, genauso wie bei WhatsApp oder Telegram. </p>



<p>Es ist wichtig, Chatverläufe von WhatsApp rechtzeitig zu sichern, da diese nicht direkt nach Signal übertragen werden können. Eine beliebte Vorgehensweise ist, wichtige Chats per E-Mail zu exportieren, um später auf sie zugreifen zu können. Zudem unterstützt Signal die Erstellung von Gruppen und das Versenden von Mediendateien in ähnlicher Weise wie WhatsApp, jedoch müssen Gruppen und Nachrichtenverläufe manuell neu eingerichtet werden. </p>



<p>Für Benutzer, die WhatsApp auf mehreren Geräten verwenden, ist es nützlich zu wissen, dass Signal ebenfalls eine<a href="https://signal.org/de/download/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> Desktop-App</a> bietet, die nach einmaliger Verknüpfung mit dem Mobilgerät genutzt werden kann. Schließlich ist zu beachten, dass die Backup-Funktion bei Signal lokal auf dem Gerät und nicht in der Cloud erfolgt, was zusätzliche Sicherheit bietet, jedoch regelmäßige manuelle Backups erfordert, um Datenverluste zu vermeiden.</p>

<p>Sie können problemlos parallel beide Messenger-Apps nutzen. Dadurch können Sie sich einen Überblick verschaffen, ob Sie mit Signal zurechtkommen und ob Sie damit alle diejenigen Kontakte erreichen, die Ihnen wichtig sind. </p>



<p>Wollen Sie anschließend ganz auf Whatsapp verzichten, sichern Sie Fotos oder andere Dateien, die Sie via Whatsapp verschickt haben und die Ihnen wichtig sind. Dann löschen Sie in Whatsapp unter “Einstellungen, Account” Ihr Whatsappkonto und entfernen Whatsapp von Ihrem Gerät. Chats können zwar in WhatsApp exportiert werden, diese lassen sich aber in Signal nicht importieren. </p>



<p>Das Versenden per E-Mail ist aber eine vielversprechende Möglichkeit, die Daten zu erhalten. Dazu tippen Sie einen Chat in WhatsApp an und wählen “Chat exportieren”. Sie können anschließend auswählen, ob Sie Bilder, Dokumente, Videos und Sprachnachrichten ebenfalls exportieren wollen. Nach dem Export erstellt WhatsApp eine Zip-Datei, die Sie auf verschiedenen Wegen verschicken oder speichern können, auch auf Cloud-Speichern. </p>



<p><b>Tipp:</b> <a href="https://www.pcwelt.de/article/1193056/welche-messenger-ihre-freunde-nutzen-zeigt-die-app-dm-me.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Diese App zeigt, welche Messenger Ihre Freunde nutzen</a> <br></p>



<p>Bevor Sie Whatsapp von Ihrem Smartphone fegen, sollten Sie den Whatsapp-Kontakten, die noch nicht bei Signal sind, Bescheid geben. Signal bietet bei der Installation sogar an, ihre Kontakte mit einer kurzen, vorformulierten Nachricht darauf hinzuweisen, dass Sie jetzt Signal verwenden.  <br></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading toc">Signal einrichten – PIN verwalten</h2>



<p>Wenn Sie Signal das erste Mal starten, müssen Sie eine PIN festlegen. Das unterscheidet sich von der Verwaltung, die Sie aus Whatsapp kennen. Den Zweck dieser Signal-PIN erklären die Macher des Messengers folgendermaßen: “Deine Signal-PIN ist ein Code, der zur Unterstützung von Funktionen wie nicht auf Rufnummern basierende Kennungen verwendet wird. Das heißt, dass deine PIN dein Profil, deine Konto-Einstellungen, deine Kontakte und deine Blockierungen wiederherstellen kann, falls du jemals dein Gerät verlierst oder wechselst. Eine PIN kann auch als optionale Registrierungssperre dienen, um zu verhindern, dass andere deine Rufnummer in Signal registrieren.”  Im Bereich “Konto” können Sie in Signal die PIN ändern und die PIN-Verwendung deaktivieren.</p>

<p>Diese PIN müssen Sie regelmäßig neu eingeben. Wollen Sie diese Sicherheitsfunktion deaktivieren, rufen Sie in Signal “Einstellungen -&gt; Konto” auf und deaktivieren “PIN-Erinnerungen”. In diesem Fall müssen Sie die PIN nicht noch einmal eingeben, benötigen diese aber weiter. </p>



<p>Ohne diese PIN haben Sie keinerlei Zugriff mehr auf Ihre Chats. Diese sind auch nicht mehr wiederherstellbar. <b>Sie sollten sich die PIN also gut merken.</b> Wenn Sie Ihre Signal-PIN vergessen haben, werden Ihr Konto für sieben Tage gesperrt.  </p>



<p>Wollen Sie den PIN-Schutz komplett deaktivieren, rufen Sie in den Einstellungen bei “Konto” den Menüpunkt “Erweiterte PIN-Einstellungen” auf. Wählen Sie hier “PIN deaktivieren.”</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading toc">Einstellungen anpassen – Datenschutz, Darstellung und Mitteilungen</h2>



<p>Signal bietet mehr Einstellungsmöglichkeiten als Whatsapp. Daher sollten Sie nach der Installation der App in die Einstellungen wechseln. Dort finden Sie verschiedene Menüs mit unterschiedlichen Unterpunkten. Passen Sie an dieser Stelle die Einstellungen an Ihre Anforderungen an. Hier können Sie auch ein Profilbild festlegen und Vor- und Nachname eingeben.</p>



<p>Unter “Einstellungen, Mitteilungen” stellen Sie den Ton ein, den Signal abspielen soll, wenn eine Nachricht eingeht. Sie können hier auch den Inhalt der Mitteilung konfigurieren. Diese kann aus einer einfachen Benachrichtigung bestehen oder den Inhalt der Nachricht und den Namen anzeigen. Aktivieren Sie “ein Kontakt Signal beitritt”, dann erhalten Sie eine Nachricht, wenn einer Ihrer Kontakte jetzt auch Signal nutzt. Wollen Sie nicht benachrichtigt werden, deaktivieren Sie die jeweilige Funktion.   </p>

<p>Über “Datenschutz” passen Sie die Optionen von Signal bezüglich der Sicherheit an. Sie können hier etwa die Lesebestätigungen ein- und ausschalten. Diese gelten für alle Chats und für ein- und ausgehende Nachrichten.   <br></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading toc">Nachrichten in Signal schreiben</h2>



<p>Um Text-Nachrichten in Signal zu schreiben, tippen Sie auf das Stift-Symbol rechts oben im Signal-Bildschirm. Sie sehen im Fenster anschließend alle Ihre Kontakte, die ebenfalls Signal nutzen. Bereits erstellte Chats zeigt Signal im Fenster an, genauso wie WhatsApp.</p>



<p>Haben Sie einen Kontakt ausgewählt, dann tippen in dem Chat am unteren Bildschirmrand in das Textfeld für eine Textnachricht. Tippen Sie in der Nachricht auf das Mikrofon-Symbol rechts unten, um eine Sprachnachricht zu versenden. Ein Tippen auf das Kamera-Symbol erlaubt wiederum das Versenden von Fotos. Die Vorgehensweise entspricht der in WhatsApp. </p>



<p>Einen Anruf beziehungsweise einen Videoanruf starten Sie dagegen mit den entsprechenden Icons (Videokamera, Telefonhörer) rechts oben neben dem Kontaktnamen.</p>



<div class="wp-block-idg-base-theme-box-text inline-box">
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Signal-Nachrichten an Whatsapp weiterleiten: 2 Möglichkeiten</h2>



<p>Wenn Sie etwas länger auf eine vorhandene Nachricht drücken, erscheint das Menü, mit dem Sie die Nachricht unter anderem weiterleiten können (Pfeil-nach-rechts-Icon). Doch das geht nur innerhalb von Signal, Sie können die Nachricht als nur an einen anderen Signalkontakt weiterleiten.</p>

<p>Falls Sie die Signalnachricht aber zum Beispiel via Whatsapp weiterleiten wollen, bleiben Ihnen zwei Möglichkeiten:</p>



<p>1. Sie erstellen einen Screenshot des Bildschirms und fügenden diese Bilddatei in Whatsapp ein und leiten sie weiter. Screenshots erstellen Sie bei einem Android-Smartphone, indem Sie die Einschalt-Taste und die Leiser-Taste gedrückt halten. Bei einem iPhone drücken Sie die Ein-/Aus-Taste und die Lauter-Taste. Bei älteren iPhones drücken Sie den Einschalt-Knopf und den Home-Button. Achtung: Schauen Sie sich den Screenshot genau an. Nicht, dass sich darauf etwas befindet, was Sie nicht weiterschicken möchten.  <br></p>



<p>2. Sie drücken länger auf die Nachricht und wählen aus dem erscheinenden Menü das Icon zum Kopieren aus (die beiden überlappenden Blätter mit dem eingeknickten rechten oberen Eck). Dann öffnen Sie Whatsapp und fügen den Text dort ein, indem Sie etwas länger auf das Eingabefeld drücken. Dann drücken Sie auf Versenden.  <br></p>



<p>Fertig.  <br></p>
</div>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading toc">Chats konfigurieren – Kontakte blocken, Nachrichten löschen</h2>



<p>Tippen Sie auf einen Chat beziehungsweise Kontaktnamen, können Sie dessen Einstellungen individuell anpassen. Sie können hier zum Beispiel mit “Verschwindende Nachrichten” festlegen, dass Nachrichten nach dem Lesen automatisch gelöscht werden. Sinnvoll kann das für Bilder oder Daten sein, die nicht dauerhaft verfügbar sein sollen.   </p>



<p>Für jeden Chat, auch für jeden Gruppenchat, können Sie eigene Benachrichtigungen festlegen. Hier können Sie Benachrichtigungen zum Beispiel für Gruppen deaktivieren.</p>



<p>Sie können für jeden Chat einen eigenen Hintergrund festlegen. Das machen Sie, indem Sie auf den Chatnamen tippen und dann auf den Menüpunkt “Chat-Farbe und Hintergrund”. Sie können danach eine der vorgegebenen Farben für den Hintergrund auswählen oder aber ein Foto aus Ihrer Fotosammlung zuweisen.  <br></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading toc">Signal in Windows, Linux und macOS nutzen</h2>



<p>Installieren Sie sich die Desktop-App von <a href="https://signal.org/de/download/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Signal,</a> können Sie auch am PC Nachrichten empfangen und senden. Der Zugriff auf Signal in Windows, Linux und macOS erfolgt über die Installation der entsprechenden Desktop-App. Dazu ist aber vorher die Installation von Signal als App auf dem Smartphone notwendig, genauso wie auch bei Whatsapp. </p>



<p>Wie bei Whatsapp authentifizieren Sie sich über einen QR-Code. Die PCs, auf denen Sie mit Signal verbunden sind, werden in der Signal-App in den Einstellungen bei “Gekoppelte Geräte” angezeigt. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Monday Boeing announced plans to acquire its key supplier, Spirit AeroSystems, for $4.7 billion, according to the Associated Press — "a move that it says will improve plane quality and safety amid increasing scrutiny by Congress, airlines and the Department of Justice. Boeing previously owned Spirit, and the purchase would reverse a longtime Boeing strategy of outsourcing key work on its passenger planes." 

But meanwhile, an anonymous reader shared this report from Newsweek:


More than a hundred Boeing whistleblowers have contacted the U.S. aviation watchdog since the start of the year, Newsweek can reveal. Official figures show that the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) whistleblowing hotline has seen a huge surge of calls from workers concerned about safety problems. Since January the watchdog saw a total of 126 reports, via various channels, from workers concerned about safety problems. In 2023, there were just 11.... 

After a visit from FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker to a Boeing factory earlier in the year, Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun agreed to share details of the hotline with all Boeing employees. The FAA told Newsweek that the number of Boeing employees coming forward was a "sign of a healthy culture".... Newsweek also spoke to Jon Holden, president of the 751 District for the International Association of Machinists, Boeing's largest union which represents more than 32,000 aerospace workers. Holden said that numerous whistleblowers had complained to the FAA over Boeing's attempt to cut staff and reduce inspections in an effort to "speed up the rate" at which planes went out the door... 

Holden's union is currently in contract negotiations with Boeing, and is attempting to secure a 40% pay rise alongside a 50-year guarantee of work security for its members. 

CNN also reports on new allegations Wednesday from a former Boeing quality-control manager: that "for years workers at its 787 Dreamliner factory in Everett, Washington, routinely took parts that were deemed unsuitable to fly out of an internal scrap yard and put them back on factory assembly lines."
In his first network TV interview, Merle Meyers, a 30-year veteran of Boeing, described to CNN what he says was an elaborate off-the-books practice that Boeing managers at the Everett factory used to meet production deadlines, including taking damaged and improper parts from the company's scrapyard, storehouses and loading docks... Meyers' claims that lapses he witnessed were intentional, organized efforts designed to thwart quality control processes in an effort to keep up with demanding production schedules. 	Beginning in the early 2000s, Meyers says that for more than a decade, he estimates that about 50,000 parts "escaped" quality control and were used to build aircraft. Those parts include everything from small items like screws to more complex assemblies like wing flaps. A single Boeing 787 Dreamliner, for example, has approximately 2.3 million parts... 

 Based on conversations Meyers says he had with current Boeing workers in the time since he left the company, he believes that while employees no longer remove parts from the scrapyard, the practice of using other unapproved parts in assembly lines continues. "Now they're back to taking parts of body sections — everything — right when it arrives at the Everett site, bypassing quality, going right to the airplane," Meyers said. 


Company emails going back years show that Meyers repeatedly flagged the issue to Boeing's corporate investigations team, pointing out what he says were blatant violations of Boeing's safety rules. But investigators routinely failed to enforce those rules, Meyers says, even ignoring "eye witness observations and the hard work done to ensure the safety of future passengers and crew," he wrote in an internal 2022 email provided to CNN.

<p>Shortcomings in incident reporting are leaving a dangerous gap in the regulation of AI technologies.</p>



<p>In other safety-critical industries, such as aviation and medicine, incidents are tracked and investigated but such <a href="https://www.longtermresilience.org/post/ai-incident-reporting-addressing-a-gap-in-the-uk-s-regulation-of-ai" rel="nofollow">incident reporting is lacking in the increasingly important are of AI, warns the Centre for Long-Term Resilience (CLTR)</a>, a UK think tank.</p>



<p>Incidents where AI systems unexpectedly malfunction or produce erroneous outputs when faced with situations outside their training data are becoming a growing problem as AI systems are increasingly deployed in critical real-world applications.</p>



<p>Problems can also arise where AI’s objectives are improperly defined or where the system’s behaviour cannot be adequately verified or controlled.</p>



<p>Notable examples of AI safety incidents include:</p>



<ul>
<li>      <a href="https://fortune.com/2023/05/18/how-will-ai-chatgpt-change-stock-markets-high-frequency-trading-crashes/" rel="nofollow">Trading algorithms causing market “flash crashes”</a>;</li>



<li>      <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/wrongful-arrests-ai-derailed-3-mens-lives/" rel="nofollow">Facial recognition systems leading to wrongful arrests</a>;</li>



<li>      <a href="https://www.npr.org/2022/06/15/1105252793/nearly-400-car-crashes-in-11-months-involved-automated-tech-companies-tell-regul" rel="nofollow">Autonomous vehicle accidents</a>;</li>



<li>      AI models providing harmful or misleading information through social media channels.</li>
</ul>



<p>Incident reporting can help AI researchers and developers to learn from past failures. By documenting cases where automated systems misbehave, glitch or jeopardize users, we can better discern problematic patterns and mitigate risks.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Novel problems</h2>



<p>Without an adequate incident reporting framework, systemic problems could set in.</p>



<p>AI systems could directly harm the public, for example through improperly revoking access to social security payments, according to CLTR, which looked closely at the situation in the UK, although its findings could also apply to many other countries.</p>



<p>The UK government’s Department for Science, Innovation &amp; Technology (DSIT) lacks a central, up-to-date picture of incidents involving AI systems as they emerge, according to CLTR. “Though some regulators will collect some incident reports, we find that this is not likely to capture the novel harms posed by frontier AI,” it said, referring to the high-powered generative AI models at the cutting edge of the industry.</p>



<p>DSIT should establish a framework for reporting public sector AI incidents, it said, with regulators tasked with identifying gaps in existing incident-handling procedures, based on expert advice.</p>



<p>Lastly, CLTR said, capacity to monitor, investigate, and respond to incidents needs to be enhanced through measures such as the establishment of a pilot AI incident database.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI-specific reporting regulations</h2>



<p>Industry experts offered a mixed but broadly positive reaction to CLTR ‘s report.</p>



<p>Ivana Bartoletti, chief privacy and AI governance officer at Wipro and co-founder of the think tank Women Leading in AI, reacted positively to CLTR’s call to improve incident response.</p>



<p>“Incident reporting is a key part of AI governance at both government and business level,” Bartoletti told CIO.com. “I believe that incident analysis can play a key role in informing regulatory responses, tailoring policies and driving governance initiatives.”</p>



<p>Crystal Morin, cybersecurity strategist at Sysdig, argued existing regulatory frameworks were adequate.</p>



<p>“When it comes to reporting security incidents that involve AI workloads, AI-specific reporting regulations seem unnecessary when comprehensive regulatory guidelines, such as NIS2, exist,” according to Morin.</p>



<p>Veera Siivonen, CCO and partner at Saidot, argued for a “balance between regulation and innovation, providing guardrails without narrowing the industry’s potential for experimentation” with the development of artificial intelligence technologies.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Industry-specific needs</h2>



<p>AI technology is evolving fast, and its regulation is still in its infancy but organisations can still take action to position themselves for the future.</p>



<p>Nayan Jain, executive head of AI at digital studio ustwo, argued that AI governance of products should be separated by industry and not centralised, as different approaches are needed in different industries.</p>



<p>“In addition to having remediation and mitigation steps in place, it is important to accept that AI itself can be used to monitor live systems, report incidents, and even help manage risk by providing automated solutions or fixes,” said Jain. “Compliance certifications and standards will emerge by industry as we’ve seen with the cloud and software development broadly.”</p>



<p>Jain added that being transparent about the use of AI in software and providing channels for users to flag incidents is important.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Captain’s log</h2>



<p>To effectively record and manage AI incidents, enterprises could implement a comprehensive incident logging system to document all AI-related issues, including unexpected behaviours, errors, biases, or security breaches.</p>



<p>Real-time monitoring tools are essential, according to Luke Dash, CEO of risk management platform ISMS.online.</p>



<p>“Implementing robust version control for AI models and datasets is crucial to track changes and allow for rollbacks if necessary,” Dash said. “It’s then important to regularly test and validate AI systems to help identify potential issues proactively.”</p>



<p>Adopting the ISO 42001 standard — a framework for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS) — would help organisations manage AI incidents and develop governance strategies, according to Dash</p>



<p>Dash advised that to effectively combine AI governance strategies with incident reporting, enterprises should establish an AI ethics committee to oversee both governance and incident management, with input from development teams, legal departments, and risk management.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Whistleblowing</h2>



<p>Raising the alarm about problems in AI systems also raises questions about employment law.</p>



<p>“If a company is using AI in a way that breaks the law or endangers health and safety and whistleblowers report this directly to their employer then they will be protected against retaliation under the current regime,” Will Burrows, parter at Bloomsbury Square Employment Law, told CIO.com.</p>



<p>“If there is a wider incident-reporting regime then whistleblowing laws need to be extended to ensure that whistleblowers are protected when they report AI incidents to DSIT.”</p>



<p>If a report to DSIT is the first port of call for a whistleblower, under the current regime they may not be protected.</p>



<p>“The law will need to change to give first-instance whistleblowers to DSIT protection,” Burrows said. “We would also welcome regulatory intervention to assist whistleblowers against retaliation.”</p>



<p>Burrows warned of the potential for group litigation claims for harm caused by AI, all the more reason for companies to encourage internal staff to report problems.</p>



<p>“Whistleblowers often spot issues at an early stage and therefore ought to be listened to and not silenced,” said Burrows, who added that organisations should set up formal internal procedures for reporting AI incidents.</p>

Richard Cuevas, a veteran mechanic, claims he observed improper drilling of fastener holes in forward pressure bulkheads during his work with Spirit AeroSystems, Boeing's main supplier. 

Cuevas warned that these defects could compromise aircraft safety. After reporting concerns to the FAA and his superiors, Cuevas says he was fired. His lawyers have urged investigations into Dreamliner bulkheads and claim unlawful retaliation.
