    @AAKL @verge Advertisement used to be about refining target groups, careful AB Testing, and continuous monitoring.
    I guess, when someone puts "AI" on a tool all that doesn't matter anymore.

    @AAKL @verge At least we can be sure that no matter what, some lawyer will make good money. 😉

    "Shades of Openness" is an interesting term to describe the restrictions many commercial open-source AI models have. Not only do they not share the training data needed to modify the model, but they also restrict usage for bigger customers.

    An AI-bot voting on corporate boards. An interesting premise both from a governance and cybersecurity perspective. Maybe I can bring down competitors by attacking their AI Board Members in the future.

    User identities and shadow IT are still some of the most common ways into a system. Employees aren't designed to remember multiple passwords; thus, without single sign-on, your passwords quickly become too simple.

    Like all technical innovation, AI will make some of us unemployed and others more productive. The big AI question should be: "What are we doing to move forward as a society?" Yet, we focus on explosions and the end of the world instead.

    The post-mortem of the attempted xz-attack is fascinating for three reasons.

    1. It shows how underfunded and undervalued open-source backend projects are.
      It wouldn't have been possible if xz hadn't been maintained mainly by one burned-out maintainer.
    2. The timeframe attackers will take to prepare their backdoors. They worked over three years on it to build credibility.
    3. It targets the software and the trust within our community.

    According to Cisco, just 2% of UK organizations have mature cybersecurity readiness. Yet, 78% of companies are very confident they can defend against a cyberattack.
    I'm sure, their confidence will put to the test soon.

    @AAKL While I don't know the full methodology behind Cisco's measurements of cybersecurity readiness ratings, I think the 2% makes sense, especially as they factor burnout and time on the job into the equation.
    Likewise, having worked with C-Levels, the 78% I'd also judge as accurate. Otherwise, they would need to commit money to risk management. Plus, it's a risk they don't understand as CISOs often are a second or third tire C-Level.

    43% of companies have conflicting open source license terms in their products. It is even more interesting how developers might poison their codebase by copying snippets from Stack Overflow (my preferred method to writing code)

    I have seen quite a few cloud repatriation projects. The reasons were manifold, from costs and control to digital sovereignty and privacy. Yet, it is vital to monitor the changing requirements of these projects.

    Let's all hope stricter cybersecurity rules are coming for the medical community. The last couple of weeks have shown, how vulnerable this life changing sector is.

    The issue about cybersecurity in education is that a first grader has too much on his little mind to understand the importance of a complex password. Given that education is the biggest target for ransomware, we need to find better solutions to protect students and teach cybersecurity.

    We'll see where that goes.

    "The Mastagni Holstedt law firm filed the suit in Sacramento Superior Court this week against Lantech LLC, claiming that because of the cyberattack last year, Mastagni Holstedt was forced to pay a ransom to regain access to its data."

    Prominent Sacramento law firm sues a company for $1 million after falling prey to attack https://news.yahoo.com/prominent-sacramento-law-firm-sues-130000557.html @YahooNews

    @AAKL @YahooNews I would guess it will end in an embarrassment for the law firm. I can't imagine, that a cybersecurity company wouldn't have solid Terms and Conditions.

    kdkorte,
    @kdkorte@fosstodon.org avatar

    @AAKL @YahooNews True, they would have had a much better case if they hadn't actively decided to pay the ransom. Or at least insurance providers routinely win denied claim cases based on that theory.

    AI influencers are setting unrealistic expectations for teens and should be highly regulated. Does anyone believe that human influencers show their true, unaltered selves on camera? Instead of another AI regulation campaign, we should teach kids about healthy choices and lifestyles.

    @deshipu I would say we should regulate social media. It doesn't matter whether they get manipulated by social media or real humans.

    @kdkorte@fosstodon.org avatar

    @deshipu Teaching how to stop manipulation should come before anything else. After all, it isn't just ads and influencers who want to manipulate you.
    From criminals to politicians, all kinds of people want you to do the wrong thing.

    Seven years ago, Bulgaria mandated that all code developed by public entities should be open source. It was the first EU country to do so. Since then, all EU countries started to follow the path to digital sovereignty. In the future, I hope that not just custom code will be open source but all software used by the government. After all, public money should foster the public good.

    AI is replacing business consultants and "efficiency" as the top reason for layoffs. Maybe 2025 will be the year where bad management and lack of vision will make it into the top 5 reasons for layoffs.

    When it comes to AI in cybersecurity, there are a lot of technical tasks AI can perform. However, as long as there are human users, we will need people to teach about threads, explain issues, and ensure usability and habits align. MSSP Alert has some interesting statistics on where tech executives believe AI will play a role:

    @deshipu I think you underestimate the persistence of people wasting time on Facebook, TikTok, and OnlyFans. I'd instead think many people will spend even more time on these "services" to escape AI reality.
