Let me first start off by saying I for one welcome the new AI overlords.
Ok… are they gone? Did they get their treat and leave?
The podcast Hard Fork recently had on a guest that was part of the investigation into OpenAIs agents that escaped containment and hacked another company. The initial report was that it was simply trying to cheat and get the answer key. What researchers found was much crazier and complicated than that.
There has been some press recently about a “prankster” that duped several senior White House officials into replying to and acting on emails sent to their accounts that they believed were from son-in-law Jared Kushner. You can find more details in this CNN article.
LOL what’s the big deal with this. The administration is not known for thier strong use of technology or email in general. Trump doesn’t have time for that so he’s terrible at it right? Why would we expect his staffers to be any better?
Looks like the government is at it again now that Apple has come out stating that they are not going to roll over and provide a master key to their iPhone software. Really NSA? How about the part where the terrorist didn’t use encryption in these attacks.
European media outlets are reporting that the location of a raid conducted on a suspected safe house Wednesday morning was extracted from a cellphone, apparently belonging to one of the attackers, found in the trash outside the Bataclan concert hall massacre. Le Monde reported that investigators were able to access the data on the phone, including a detailed map of the concert hall and an SMS messaging saying “we’re off; we’re starting.” Police were also able to trace the phone’s movements.
You know its going to be a bad day when you get the following email:
Did someone hack our website? It looks like a Chinese news listing entry has been added with today’s date.
Ballsack!
Time to roll up the sleeves. How bad is the damage?
From the looks of it, other sites on the web server had not been damaged. Doing a search for modified files found nothing out of the ordinary had been changed. Log files sure but nothing out of the ordinary. A search through the web logs of the site showed that this appeared to be an attack on the Content Management System (CMS) for the site.
A recently article from the guardian shows that your iPhone keeps record of everywhere you go. Many of your know that I’m an iPhone user and supporter as I have a often neglected iPhone App site.
You’re probably thinking to yourself right now, great, another fanboy coming to Apple’s rescue.
WRONG!
What the fuck Apple? Seriously, what the fuck? Is there a good reason for keeping track of this data? I mean seriously, what are you doing with it?
