Did we learn nothing from Arthur C. Clarke's 1968 sci-fi epic, 2001: A Space Odyssey?

In the film, astronauts on a mission to Jupiter discover that the HAL 9000 artificial intelligence computer that controls and automates all functions on the spacecraft starts seriously glitching. The astronauts get worried, HAL gets paranoid -- yada, yada, yada -- HAL kills everyone on the ship.

The moral of the story is that when lives depend on fully automated systems, it's a good idea to keep an eye on those systems anyway. (And if that's not the moral of the story, it should have been.)

How do you use something that's fully automatic, anyway? What is the responsibility of the "user"? Can we just hand over control to the bots?

Recent events in the news suggest that when it comes to using our automatic products and features, some people are doing it wrong.

Brian KREBS @briankrebs (Twitter)

A few years back, when I was a reporter at The Washington Post, I put together a chart listing the various ways that miscreants can monetize hacked PCs. The project was designed to explain simply and visually to the sort of computer user who can’t begin to fathom why miscreants would want to hack into his PC. “I don’t bank online, I don’t store sensitive information on my machine! I only use it to check email. What could hackers possibly want with this hunk of junk?,” are all common refrains from this type of user.

I recently updated the graphic (below) to include some of the increasingly prevalent malicious uses for hacked PCs, including hostage attacks — such as ransomware — and reputation hijacking on social networking forums.

Viele Nutzer verschleiern ihre eigentliche IP-Adresse und damit ihren Standort, indem Sie über einen VPN-Server ins Internet gehen. Die WebRTC-Implementierungen von Mozilla Firefox und Google Chrome plaudern aber die Adresse aus.

Zum Glück gibt es Abhilfe

In einer Demo zeigt Roesler, dass der öffentliche STUN-Server stun.services.mozilla.com dabei nicht nur die Adresse übermittelt, mit der man sozusagen am Ausgang des VPN-Tunnels zu sehen ist.. Er verrät auch die öffentliche Adresse, von der aus die VPN-Verbindung aufgebaut wurde. Wenn ein Webdienst solchen Code in seine Webseite einbaut, hat er ein weiteres Mittel, um trotz VPN herauszufinden, wo der Rechner des Benutzers steht.

Zum Glück gibt es Abhilfe: Für Chrome gibt es die Erweiterung WebRTC Block. In Firefox kann der Benutzer in about:config den Wert media.peerconnection.enabledeinfach auf False setzen.

Hackers accessed the credit card information of tens of thousands customers of the University of Michigan's Union Ticket Office, the latest organization that has fallen victim to a breach affecting a third-party vendor.

How many victims? More than 33,000.

What type of personal information? Names, street addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers and expiration dates.

What happened? The database supplied by third-party ticketing solution provider Vendini was compromised by hackers who may have stolen the personal information of any U of M customer in the last two years.

What was the response? University officials have contacted all individuals affected by the breach.

Details: How the hackers were able to compromise the Vendini systems is currently unknown. According to a statement released by the company, the stolen information does not include credit card security access codes, account user names or passwords.

Naivety - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Naïvety (or naivety, naïveté, etc.), is the state of being naïve-, having or showing a lack of experience, understanding or sophistication, often in a context where one neglects pragmatism in favor of moral idealism. One who is naïve may be called a naif.
