On Mar 29, 2024 details emerged about CVE-2024-3094, a vulnerability impacting the xz compression libraries used by Linux distributions.

XZ Utils Backdoor | Threat Actor Planned to Inject Further Vulnerabilities Analysis suggests that CVE-2024-3094, a backdoor deliberately planted into XZ Utils, may have been only the first on the threat actor's agenda.

Last night the UK Ministry of Defence was hacked by China.

Private information of all the serving armed forces and some veterans was compromised.

When these things happen, it reminds me of the job posting for Head of Cyber Security on £57k.

Yes this is just about "an above average salary" in the UK.

However, when we are talking about threats of global powers attempting to hack sensitive information surely an investment to attract the best possible talent in the world would be more.

If we don’t invest, this will continue to happen.

Ever considered proving your identity online by scanning your eyeballs? Well, here's how Worldcoin's World ID intends to make it happen...

Have you ever dreamed of freedom from remembering countless passwords? From giving up too much personal data in order to get access to your favorite streaming service? A solution is emerging from a company named Worldcoin, backed by Sam Altman, co-founder of OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

Dubbed the ‘World ID’, this technology scans your iris, multiplies the data into a numerical code, and transforms it into a unique web identification. Think of it as your body's fingerprint, but for the internet. And here's the best part—once the process is done, the iris data gets chucked out, ensuring your biometric data's safekeeping.

But how essential is this modern marvel? According to Worldcoin, in a world where AI is making it increasingly challenging to distinguish between humans and bots, this distinction is more critical than ever. By 2023, digital ad fraud is expected to bleed US$100B worldwide, and tools like World ID could be the solution.

However, this tech leap isn't without its challenges. It requires us to trust an emerging company with our biometric data, believe that giants like Google and Facebook will accept anonymous sign-ins, and understand that bot danger is increasingly real.

Despite these hurdles, the response to World ID's vision has been astonishing. They have already partnered with Okta's Auth0 Marketplace, the world's largest identity provider. The upshot? Sites and apps integrated with World ID can enjoy privacy, easy sign-ins, and a guarantee of human users, free from the prying eyes of data-driven companies.

With this new technology, Worldcoin is challenging the tech giants' data monopoly. No more age, location, or other personal details fueling the advertising machine. Instead, we start casting a new net, a net of privacy-preserved, verifiable identities.

Sure, questions loom over the safety and viability of this technology. Is this yet another tech giant promising data protection and eventually faltering? Only time will tell.

Right now is an awesome opportunity to not only take actionable steps to protect your children, but also to be an example for your children, neighbors, schools and community on how preventing the abuse and trafficking of children begins at home - with you.

Let 2023 be the year of the "I don't post every tiny detail of my child's life on a chalkboard for their first day of school" challenge.

You absolutely can be proud of your kiddos, share with family and friends, celebrate them and document their progress- without potentially causing them future harm.
But there are ways you can do it to keep them safe.

Chalkboards and letter boards displaying children’s names, schools, and other identifying information overtake social media every year when kids go back-to-school. While these posts are well intended and make great keepsakes, posting them online has potential dangers than many parents don’t realize. Online predators can look for clues to try to groom children, and find out what they like and their physical location.

All schools now have websites that include addresses, all it would take is a simple Google search to locate your child’s school. And if you DO share, just make sure your settings are turned to private to ensure only friends and family can see this personal information.

🚫𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑’𝐒 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞.
Staff and employees are included in most school directories making your child easy to find. Try not to post too many details about where your children go to school publicly.

If your child is contacted online, the predator can use their “favorites” to gain their trust or pretend to be friends of the family.

These can be easily blurred on today’s smart phones. Always check your background to make sure you aren’t accidentally snapping location identifiers, logos, or other children who may not be consented to be posted online."
