Will a US based hospital chain face the same problem? Should they pay the ransom?
The Biggest Cyberattack in New Zealand's History Unfolding
New Zealand's Waikato Hospital is facing a second week of interruption as it works to repair its computer infrastructure after a massive cyberattack. With computers and phone lines knocked out, the attacker remains unknown.
According to Kevin Snee, chief executive of Waikato District Health Board (DHB) the hospital's cyberattack is "probably the biggest cyber-attack in New Zealand's history".
He also stated on Monday to RNZ’s Morning Report, that he expects about 20% of elective surgeries and outpatient clinic appointments to be canceled at Waikato hospital this week. Furthermore, the DHB’s IT systems will be fully operational next week.
“We’re a very complex system and this has proved more complex to address than was first thought,” he said. “We also have to be careful in … addressing the problem that when we stand up the system, it doesn’t run into problems again”.
How dare you correct me! I’ll make up anything I want, any time I want and you can’t stop me!
MIT study: Correcting falsehoods on Twitter makes misinformation worse in surprising ways
Perverse Downstream Consequences of Debunking: Being Corrected by Another User for Posting False Political News Increases Subsequent Sharing of Low Quality, Partisan, and Toxic Content in a Twitter Field Experiment – “A prominent approach to combating online misinformation is to debunk false content. Here we investigate downstream consequences of social corrections on users’ subsequent sharing of other content. Being corrected might make users more attentive to accuracy, thus improving their subsequent sharing. Alternatively, corrections might not improve subsequent sharing – or even backfire – by making users feel defensive, or by shifting their attention away from accuracy (e.g., towards various social factors). We identified N=2,000 users who shared false political news on Twitter, and replied to their false tweets with links to fact-checking websites. We find causal evidence that being corrected decreases the quality, and increases the partisan slant and language toxicity, of the users’ subsequent retweets (but has no significant effect on primary tweets). This suggests that being publicly corrected by another user shifts one’s attention away from accuracy – presenting an important challenge for social correction approaches.”
Pressure to accelerate AI projects?
Russia Is Accelerating Its Own Link-Everything Network
The United States isn’t the only major military power trying to digitally link all of its weapons and execute operations faster with artificial intelligence. Russia has been making gains in its own version of centralized command and control across land, sea, space, and cyberspace, according to a new paper from a Navy-linked think tank.
Over the past several years, Russian military leaders have steadily advanced an AI-linked concept called automated control systems, or ACS, says the paper, to be published Monday by the Center for Naval Analysis, or CNA. The Russian military’s encyclopedia describes it as: “A system that automates such processes or functions of command and control of troops and (or) weapons (combat assets) such as: collection, processing, storage and delivery of information necessary to optimize command and control of troops and weapons.”
Interesting.
