"The theft-prevention system installed in Seattle rental cars by a car-sharing company was designed to prevent cars being towed away by thieves. It disabled the cars remotely if they were detected to be moving with the engine off. Renters taking the boat ferry found themselves unable to restart their cars when the ferry docked. An anti-theft system in a car caused major delays to a regional ferry system" https://www.ft.com/content/178ab808-21ff-4ac2-a81f-f831326c22d4

The US military tracked Putin's movements. How? His comrades (advisers, drivers, etc.) had smartphones and were browsing the internet, using apps. Ads were displayed to them. And data traces from advertising networks revealed everything. https://www.wired.com/story/how-pentagon-learned-targeted-ads-to-find-targets-and-vladimir-putin/

If that's the security reality of LLMs, we're going to redo the basics of security again. Prior to that, we did so for: web, mobiles, IoT, blockchain (...). And now, LLMs.

My comment in @wired about sabotage disrupting railways in Poland. Radio emission brings trains to a halt in several places. Who's behind unclear. Executing this sabotage is technically simple (I explain), though requires proximity. Solution: move to GSM-R.

Scientists "cut out" everything possible from the bacterial genome to obtain a minimal cell genome. Half of the genome removed. Cells were alive and then... Even if you reduce the genome to the bare minimum, evolution means mutations. It can’t be stopped! 300 days of evolution (~40k humans years) enough for a cell to gain everything that was removed. Natural selection outweighed deleterious effects of genomic disruption. Life always finds a way. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06288-x

My book Philosophy of Cybersecurity tackles a broad domain from systems cybersecurity, user's aspects, healthcare, critical infrastructure security, to policy and politics matters, international law, and cyberwarfare.

Carefully written, with examples, scenarios.

It was a lot of careful work, requiring knowledge and experience. I put all that in the book. Enjoy, happy readings! https://blog.lukaszolejnik.com/my-cybersecurity-book-philosophy-of-cybersecurity/

Attention. The European Parliament passed a law on sharing health data with external entities. Allegedly only "pseudonymised" (anonymisation impossible), unclear how. Caution advised. Unfortunately data shared without consent. Opt-out is manual. https://www.europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document/TA-9-2024-0331_EN.pdf
