Cyberculture agenda: “Digital Defenders” for kids about privacy and crypto… Israel and Survellance Industry…

European Digital Rights has created a free, CC-licensed kids’ booklet about privacy called Digital Defenders.

How Israel Became a Hub for Surveillance Technology

In 1948, the year Israel was founded, the Mer Group was established as a metal workshop.

Today it’s a much different company. It operates a dozen subsidiaries and employs 1,200 people in over 40 countries, selling wireless infrastructure, software for public transit ticketing systems, wastewater treatment, and more. But at the ISDEF Expo, an event held last June to show off Israeli technology to potential buyers from foreign security forces, the Mer Group’s representatives were only promoting one thing: surveillance products sold by the company’s security division.

While there have been many crackdowns across Europe, Spain has traditionally had a poor record when it comes to enforcing IP rights. However, in recent years that position has changed somewhat, with various actions against pirate sites alongside a tightening of legislation.


Donald Trump has a propensity for spouting off at the mouth, especially on Twitter. At this point, that statement should surprise no one. In fact, it’s one of the most oft-mentioned reasons his followers love him — he lacks the filter of previous presidential candidates.

The cyber-war on WikiLeaks

WikiLeaks is not only influencing the US elections, but transforming the US elections – as they should have been from the very beginning – into a global debate.

DeepMind is now capable of teaching itself based on information it already possesses. In a significant step forward for artificial intelligence, Alphabet’s hybrid system — called a Differential Neural Computer (DNC) — uses the existing data storage capacity of conventional computers while pairing it with smart AI and a neural net capable of quickly parsing it. “These models can learn from examples like neural networks, but they can also store complex data like computers,” wrote DeepMind researchers Alexander Graves and Greg Wayne. Much like the brain, the neural network uses an interconnected series of nodes to stimulate specific centers needed to…

The day after the massive cyber attack. A roundup.

http://ift.tt/2f21NEU

The global cyber war is raging on, and this mesmerizing map shows just how serious it has become.

Some of the internet’s most popular, well-defended services — including Twitter — were knocked offline yesterday by a massive denial-of-service attack that security experts are blaming on botnets made from thousands of hacked embedded systems in Internet of Things devices like home security cameras and video recorders. (more…)


After a large-scale distributed denial of service attack took down large portions of the internet today, Dyn reported our connected devices could be responsible for the attack. Here’s how it works:

Much of the Internet was brought to a screeching halt Friday as a cyberattack on a company many had previously never heard of brought down many of the most popular online services, including Twitter and Spotify.

Why hackers choose DDoS attacks

The cyberattack that immobilized a large chunk of the internet on Friday may have seemed complex. In fact, the type attack that hackers employed to cut off access to some of the world’s biggest websites was strikingly simple.

The internet is going down, people.

Friday morning’s cyberattack on Dyn — a company that hosts some major domain name systems — caused a horrific chain of events for the internet, one of the worst outages resulting from an attack.

Knowing a lot about something doesn’t always mean you can stop it.

Two days before a massive distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) shut down a huge chunk of the internet on Friday, a researcher at the server provider under assault gave a presentation on just that kind of attack.

 

Sites across the internet had problems on Friday morning following a cyberattack on a major internet management company.

A massive cyber attack on Friday used a system of smart devices like cameras and DVRs to attack important internet infrastructure, leading to widespread problems for some of the web’s most popular destinations.

After this morning’s massive DDoS attack affecting the likes of Twitter, Reddit, AirBnB and many others, everything seemed to be fixed and functioning as usual.

A massive botnet of hacked Internet of Things devices has been implicated in the cyberattack that caused a significant internet outage on Friday. The botnet, which is powered by the malware known as Mirai, is in part responsible for the attack that…

Internet traffic company Dyn on Friday warned of another cyber attack after earlier in the day websites and services across the East Coast were shut down. ‘We have begun monitoring and mitigating a DDoS attack against our Dyn Managed (Domain Name

 

Hackers have shown how they could take down the Internet.

Much of the web struggled to stay on its feet today, with outages bringing down U.S.-based services and sites such as Amazon, Twitter and Netflix. A massive distributed denial of service (DDOS) attack on Dyn DNS is reportedly the cause: as a popular provider of domain-name lookup services, it falling over means that browsers simply don’t know where to find websites


A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack against DynDNS is causing havoc online, with many major websites reportedly unavailable. According to Dyn DNS, the attack started at 11:10 UTC, and it targeted its managed DNS service. The Domain Name System (DNS) is a tool used to resolve human-readable web addresses (like “thenextweb.com”) against IP addresses.
