“Recent” seems to be a bit of a stretch. Why so long to let
anyone know about the breach?
Meridian
Community College Provides Notice of Data Incident
Meridian Community College ("MCC") is
providing notice of a
recent event that may have affected the privacy of
personal information of certain individuals
… In
late January 2019, MCC became aware of a phishing incident
that resulted in the compromise of certain user credentials. MCC
immediately began reviewing this activity and commenced a diligent
investigation, which included working with third party forensic
investigators, to confirm the nature and scope of the activity.
On April 12, 2019, this investigation determined that it could not
forensically rule out access to certain employee email accounts.
Additionally, the forensic investigation could not determine whether
specific emails in the potentially affected accounts were subject to
unauthorized access.
… This
review concluded on June 25, 2019. MCC then undertook a
diligent effort to identify contact information for those individuals
whose data was present in the relevant email accounts.

Brewster reports:
Own a rifle? Got a scope to go with it? T he U.S. government might soon know who you are, where you live and how to reach you.
That’s because the government wants Apple and Google to hand over names, phone numbers and other identifying data of at least 10,000 users of a single gun scope app, Forbes has discovered. It’s an unprecedented move: Never before has a case been disclosed in which American investigators demanded personal data of users of a single app from Apple and Google.

[From
the article:
The
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) department is seeking
information as part of a broad investigation into possible breaches
of weapons export regulations. It’s looking into illegal exports
of ATN’s scope, though the company itself isn’t under
investigation, according to the order. As part of that,
investigators are looking for a quick way to find out where the app
is in use, as that will likely indicate where the hardware has been
shipped. ICE has repeatedly intercepted illegal shipments of the
scope, which is controlled under the International Traffic in Arms
Regulation (ITAR), according to the government court filing. They
included shipments to Canada, the Netherlands and Hong Kong where the
necessary licenses hadn’t been obtained.

Pentagon
seeks 'ethicist' to oversee military artificial intelligence
Wanted:
military “ethicist”. Skills: data crunching, machine learning,
killer robots. Must have: cool head, moral compass and the will to
say no to generals, scientists and even presidents.
The
Pentagon is looking for the
right person to help it navigate the morally murky waters of
artificial intelligence (AI), billed as the battlefield of the 21st
century.

Google
files patent for using A.I. to track a baby’s body and eye
movements
According
to a patent application filed last year and published
on
Thursday, Google is researching technology that could track a baby’s
eyes, movements and sounds using “intelligent” audio and video.
If
the behavior seems abnormal,
the cloud-based system would notify parents on their device.

120 million
workers will need to be retrained due to AI, says IBM study
Artificial
Intelligence is apparently ready to get to work. Over the next three
years, as many as 120
million workers from the world's 12 largest economies may
need to be retrained because of advances in artificial
intelligence and
intelligent automation, according to a study released Friday by IBM's
Institute
for Business Value. However, less than half of CEOs surveyed by IBM
said they had the resources needed to close the skills gap brought on
by these new technologies.
