Cyberwar, no matter how asymmetric, is still war. Have we reached that level? If North Korea is ‘hacking for pay’ should Israel attack Iran?

North Korean Hacking Group Attacks Israeli Defense Industry
Ronen Bergman and Nicole Perlroth report:
Israel claimed Wednesday that it had thwarted a cyberattack by a North Korea-linked hacking group on its classified defense industry.
The Defense Ministry said the attack was deflected “in real time” and that there was no “harm or disruption” to its computer systems.
However, security researchers at ClearSky, the international cybersecurity firm that first exposed the attack, said the North Korean hackers penetrated the computer systems and were likely to have stolen a large amount of classified data. Israeli officials fear the data could be shared with North Korea’s ally, Iran.

Cry of privacy breach as Kerala cops tap call records of Covid patients
KP Saikiran reports:
Kerala, whose scientific contact-tracing strategy in the initial weeks of the pandemic became a model for others to follow, has now worked up an ethical and legal storm with a controversial police decision to collect call detail records (CDR) of Covid-positive citizens and draw up “route maps” to trace those who came in contact with them.

PrivacyOps: Reimagining Privacy Compliance
Following several high profile incidents highlighting the harm that can be done when personal information is mishandled or abused, there is now a growing awareness that privacy is a basic human right. A wave of new privacy regulations such as the European Union’s GDPR, California’s CCPA, Brazil’s LGPD, and more aim to give consumers greater control of their personal information held by companies.
Enterprise organizations are pivoting to be able to efficiently comply with these new regulations. However, traditional compliance and privacy management practices driven by periodic manual surveys, rampant data sprawl across on-prem and cloud data stores, and complex coordination across multiple organizational silos make this challenging.
PrivacyOps is an emerging framework that reimagines how to efficiently implement privacy management throughout an organization. Much like DevOps has emerged as a more agile and effective way to operationalize software development, PrivacyOps promises the same for privacy compliance.
Not bad enough by themselves, they are starting to breed!

AIoT: When Artificial Intelligence Meets the Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology helping us to reimagine daily life, but artificial intelligence (AI) is the real driving force behind the IoT’s full potential.
From its most basic applications of tracking our fitness levels, to its wide-reaching potential across industries and urban planning, the growing partnership between AI and the IoT means that a smarter future could occur sooner than we think.
This infographic by TSMC highlights the breakthrough technologies and trends making that shift possible, and how we’re continuing to push the boundaries.

Artificial intelligence is a totalitarian’s dream – here’s how to take power back
… In 2019, the billionaire investor Peter Thiel claimed that AI was “literally communist”. He pointed out that AI allows a centralising power to monitor citizens and know more about them than they know about themselves. China, Thiel noted, has eagerly embraced AI.

MLops: The rise of machine learning operations
As hard as it is for data scientists to tag data and develop accurate machine learning models, managing models in production can be even more daunting. Recognizing model drift, retraining models with updating data sets, improving performance, and maintaining the underlying technology platforms are all important data science practices. Without these disciplines, models can produce erroneous results that significantly impact business.
Developing production-ready models is no easy feat. According to one machine learning study, 55 percent of companies had not deployed models into production, and 40 percent or more require more than 30 days to deploy one model. Success brings new challenges, and 41 percent of respondents acknowledge the difficulty of versioning machine learning models and reproducibility.
