IN CYBERWAR, THERE ARE NO RULES

It won’t be cutting-edge cyberattacks that cause the much-feared cyber-Pearl Harbor in the United States or elsewhere. Instead, it will likely be mundane strikes against industrial control systems, transportation networks, and health care providers—because their infrastructure is out of date, poorly maintained, ill-understood, and often unpatchable. Worse will be the invisible manipulation of public opinion and election outcomes using digital tools such as targeted advertising and deep fakes—recordings and videos that can realistically be made via artificial intelligence to sound like any world leader.

Everything in your home is about to get smart. Here’s what to watch out for.

Smart devices can improve daily life by being aware of what you’re doing, so they can predict what you want them to do. For example, smart lights can learn when it’s bedtime and use that information to only use low brightness after that if you wander to the bathroom.   That convenience comes at a price, however: IoT devices generally require an internet connection to function, and harvest your information in return for helping improve your day.

Using a truly private browser — Brave

One of the biggest leaks of privacy on your computer is your browser. Whether the leaks come from the website you browse to (tracking cookies, fingerprinting, etc), from the browser itself (diagnostic info, interest tracking, cloud-based history collection, etc), or from your ISP being able to observe everything you do.  Enter Brave, a browser specifically built from the ground up for privacy.

Gmail’s ‘Confidential Mode’ arrives on mobile devices

Once you’ve turned on confidential mode for a specific email, you can set an expiration date and passcode so that you can restrict access to the email either in the web interface or via SMS. Recipients of these confidential emails won’t be able to copy, paste, download, print or forward the message, and attachments will be disabled.

That doesn’t stop anyone from taking a screenshot of your message, however.

Here’s how to see the data that tech giants have about you

As you’ll see, some of these companies have made the job easier than others. It’s also important to note that downloading your data doesn’t take it away from the company in question. Each tech giant will still retain the data it has about you. But at least you’ll have a better sense of what they know.

Nearly everything in the Facebook ‘hacking’ reports are wrong

two key points to remember…

  1. None of what I just described involves ‘hacking’ Facebook or exploiting a bug. Instead, it all revolves around the use of a feature that Facebook provided to all developers and (at least) tens of thousands took advantage of.
  2. The data collected was not internal Facebook data. It was data that developers (s̵c̵r̵a̵p̵e̵d̵ ) accessed* from the profiles of people who downloaded their apps (and their friends).
