The FBI says that thousands of systems were patched by their owners before it began its remote Hafnium backdoor removal operation, and that it only removed [sic] “removed one early hacking group’s remaining web shells which could have been used to maintain and escalate persistent, unauthorized access to U.S. networks.”

“Today’s court-authorized removal of the malicious web shells demonstrates the Department’s commitment to disrupt hacking activity using all of our legal tools, not just prosecutions,” reads a statement from Assistant Attorney General John C. Demers, with the Justice Department’s National Security Division.









So they say.

Was it worth it? I think so. So . . . where is our good 'ol Nazi buddy?

Oh, sorry. Was that rude?

Any fresh and new conspiracies about big tech?

Why does online privacy matter?


A lack of online privacy is not just about companies having your data, but how they use it to figure out what you’ll click on. They’re using it to make you click on stuff that you shouldn’t be going on, making you follow clickbait.

Using private information, they’ve built a profile of you and know exactly who you are. They know the lies they can spin you that could lead you up the garden path – things that may be political, commercial or criminal. And here’s the bigger picture: people could misuse data about you to trick other individuals into voting for people that they really shouldn’t – people that are not in their best interests.

i'd pass judgement on whether i think this is an intelligent post or not except

"mein führer uf zis bort?" translates to "my guide uf zis bort"

so you'll have to 'xplain what "uf zis bort" means first.

AI is increasingly being used to identify emotions – here's what's at stake



https://theconversation.com/amp/ai-i...t-stake-158809


On our interactive website (which works best on a laptop, not a phone) you can try out a private and secure ERT for yourself, to see how it scans your face and interprets your emotions. You can also play games comparing human versus AI skills in emotion recognition and learn about the controversial science of emotion behind ERT.

Most importantly, you can contribute your perspectives and ideas to generate new knowledge about the potential impacts of ERT. As the computer scientist and digital activist Joy Buolamwini says: “If you have a face, you have a place in the conversation.”

What Is Phonetic Spelling?


https://www.dictionary.com/e/phonetic-spelling/


Phonemes vs. graphemes


At first glance, it makes sense that—as one 1800s philologist put it—”the same combination of sounds should, under the same circumstances, be always represented by the same combination of symbols, and that the same combination of symbols should, under the same circumstances, always represent the same combination of sounds.”

There are languages that follow a one-to-one relationship between graphemes (the written form) and phonemes (the spoken form). Such a language is known as a phonemic orthography. Esperanto is one example of a true phonemic orthography. Its creator followed the principle of “one letter, one sound.”

Security News This Week: How the FBI Finally Got Into the San Bernardino Shooter’s iPhone

Plus: Russian sanctions, Europe’s SolarWinds fallout, and more of this week’s top security news.


https://www.wired.com/story/fbi-ipho...urity-news/amp


. . . the Justice Department took a drastic step this week to halt a Chinese hacking spree by authorizing the FBI to obtain a warrant and then directly delete attackers' hacking infrastructure from hundreds of victims' internal systems. Many in the security community lauded the effort, but the move also stoked some controversy given the precedent it could set for future US government actions that might be more invasive.


If you're trying to lock your accounts down and reduce your reliance on passwords, we have a guide to alternatives that'll walk you through on a number of platforms. And if you're feeling a general sense of existential dread about all manner of threats, you're not alone—the US Intelligence Community seems to be feeling the same way.
