Intelligence agency takes over Project Maven, the Pentagon’s signature AI scheme

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency will take operational control of part of the Pentagon’s signature artificial intelligence program, the agency’s director announced April 25.

Project Maven is the Department of Defense’s most visible artificial intelligence tool, designed to process imagery and full-motion video from drones and automatically detect potential targets.

At the GEOINT Symposium in Denver, Colorado, NGA Director Vice Adm. Robert Sharp announced that his agency would take over operational control of Project Maven’s GEOINT AI services from the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security under President Biden’s proposed budget for Fiscal Year 2023.

Over 20,000 people’s data potentially compromised in phishing scam targeting Valley View Hospital (Colorado)

Ike Fredregill reports:

A phishing scam granted outside users access to four Valley View Hospital email accounts, potentially impacting the personal data of about 21,000 people, including hospital employees and patients, a Valley View spokesperson wrote in an email.

A Valley View news release Friday states the hospital learned in January that thousands of peoples’ personal information could have been accessed when an unauthorized third party gained access to several employees’ email accounts. An investigation followed, and it was determined March 29 that the accounts contained personal information that could have been compromised.

Valley View’s substitute notice, in full. They indicate when they discovered the breach, but not when it occurred.

Valley View Hospital Association (Valley View) is committed to protecting the privacy and security of our patients’ information. Regrettably, this notice is regarding an incident we identified that may have involved a limited group of patients’ information.

On January 19, 2022, Valley View discovered that an unauthorized party gained access to four of its employees’ email accounts that could have contained patient information. Valley View promptly secured the email accounts to prevent any further unauthorized access and engaged a forensic security firm to investigate the incident and confirm the security of Valley View’s email and computer systems.

We do not believe that any personal information was removed from our system. Consistent with our commitment to keep your personal information private, we investigated this matter and reviewed the contents of the email accounts. On March 29, 2022, we determined that the accounts contained personal information.

Valley View mailed letters to those patients whose information may have been involved in this incident beginning on March 19, 2022. If you believe you are involved and did not receive a letter, we encourage you to call 1-877-660-1330 with any questions regarding this incident. Representatives are available Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. – 4 p.m. Mountain Time.

We want to assure our patients that we are taking this matter very seriously. We deeply regret that this incident has occurred and greatly value the trust our patients have placed in Valley View.

I read this as: Yeah security’s important to us, but we did a really bad job of it.

You Can Now Ask Google to Remove Your Phone Number, Email or Address from Search Results

Google said this week it is expanding the types of data people can ask to have removed from search results, to include personal contact information like your phone number, email address or physical address. The move comes just months after Google rolled out a new policy enabling people under the age of 18 (or a parent/guardian) to request removal of their images from Google search results.

Google has for years accepted requests to remove certain sensitive data such as bank account or credit card numbers from search results. In a blog post on Wednesday, Google’s Michelle Chang wrote that the company’s expanded policy now allows for the removal of additional information that may pose a risk for identity theft, such as confidential log-in credentials, email addresses and phone numbers when it appears in Search results.

Why companies should stop trying to be “AI-first”

Artificial intelligence has become a buzzword in the tech industry. Companies are eager to present themselves as “AI-first” and use the terms “AI,” “machine learning,” and “deep learning” abundantly in their web and marketing copy.

What are the effects of the current hype surrounding AI? Is it just misleading consumers and end-users or is it also affecting investors and regulators? How is it shaping the mindset for creating products and services? How is the merging of scientific research and commercial product development feeding into the hype?

These are some of the questions that Richard Heimann, Chief AI Officer at Cybraics, answers in his new book Doing AI. Heimann’s main message is that when AI itself becomes our goal, we lose sight of all the important problems we must solve. And by extension, we draw the wrong conclusions and make the wrong decisions.

Machine learning, deep learning, and all other technologies that fit under the umbrella term “AI” should be considered only after you have well-defined goals and problems, Heimann argues. And this is why being AI-first means doing AI last.

DJI insisted drone-tracking AeroScope signals were encrypted — now it admits they aren’t

Last month, Ukraine Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov accused DJI of helping Russia to kill Ukrainian civilians in an unusual way — by allowing Russia to freely use a drone-tracking system called DJI AeroScope to target the exact location of Ukrainian drone pilots and, allegedly, kill them with mortar strikes and missiles.

So we wrote an in-depth explainer on what DJI AeroScope actually is, how it works, what it was designed for, and what, if anything, DJI could actually do to prevent people from getting killed using its tech. But a hacker pointed out that DJI wasn’t being truthful with us on at least one point — and the company is now admitting it. The AeroScope signals broadcast by every modern DJI drone aren’t actually encrypted, DJI now says.

Did we do something wrong?

PARTY OF FIVE: CONNECTICUT POISED TO PASS FIFTH U.S. STATE PRIVACY LAW, IMPROVING UPON VIRGINIA, COLORADO

This week, the Connecticut legislature passed Senate Bill 6, an ‘Act Concerning Personal Data Privacy and Online Monitoring.’ If SB 6 is enacted by Governor Lamont, Connecticut will follow California, Virginia, Colorado, and Utah as the fifth U.S. state to adopt a baseline regime for the governance of personal data. The law would come into effect on July 1, 2023.

Connecticut’s privacy bill goes beyond existing state privacy laws by directly limiting the use of facial recognition technology, establishing default protections for adolescent data, and strengthening consumer choice, including through requiring recognition of many global opt-out signals. Nevertheless, a federal privacy law remains necessary to ensure that all Americans are guaranteed strong, baseline protections for the processing of their personal information.

Out of sight: the algorithms running our lives

The Guardian – ‘Bossware is coming for almost every worker’: the software you might not realize is watching you. Computer monitoring software is helping companies spy on their employees to measure their productivity – often without their consent… A survey last September by review site Digital.com of 1,250 US employers found 60% with remote employees are using work monitoring software of some type, most commonly to track web browsing and application use. And almost nine out of 10 of the companies said they had terminated workers after implementing monitoring software. The number and array of tools now on offer to continuously monitor employees’ digital activity and provide feedback to managers is remarkable. Tracking technology can also log keystrokes, take screenshots, record mouse movements, activate webcams and microphones, or periodically snap pictures without employees knowing. And a growing subset incorporates artificial intelligence (AI) and complex algorithms to make sense of the data being collected. One AI monitoring technology, Veriato, gives workers a daily “risk score” which indicates the likelihood they pose a security threat to their employer. This could be because they may accidentally leak something, or because they intend to steal data or intellectual property…”

She suggested that because religion is explicitly named in the Constitution and those other freedoms or values are not, religion will win every time. More striking still was Franke’s claim that as a result of decades long efforts to privatize social welfare, justice, and health care, and with religious entities rushing in to fill those spaces, even the remaining structures of the public sector will always appear to be anemic, anonymized, and collective…”

Russian government hackers carried out multiple cyber operations against Ukraine that appeared to support Moscow’s military attacks and online propaganda campaigns, Microsoft said in a report on Wednesday.

The reported intrusions – some of which have not been previously disclosed – suggest that hacking has played a bigger role in the conflict than what has been publicly known.

Why neither Russia nor Ukraine wants to discuss the mystery explosions at strategic Russian facilities

Russian media reported explosions Wednesday at an ammunition depot near Belgorod and two other storage facilities near Ukraine's eastern border, in the latest instances of "unexplained fires and explosions at strategic locations in Russia, including storage depots, a sensitive defense research site, and the country's largest chemical plant," The Washington Post reports.

"All of the sites hit are likely involved in supplying fuel and ammunition to the troops engaged in Donbas and the damage may hinder Russia's efforts to sustain its offensive there," the Post reports, raising "suspicions that at least some may have been caused by sabotage or Ukrainian attacks."

Local Russian officials blamed an April 1 explosion at fuel depots in Belgorod on Ukrainian attack helicopters, but as the incidents multiplied, it became "a subject which officials in Moscow prefer to avoid," BBC Monitoring's Vitaliy Shevchenko writes. "Ukrainian attacks on Russian territory would be an embarrassment to the Kremlin, which had been hoping to have control of Ukraine within days of invading it in February."

… "It is clear why Ukraine would be reluctant to admit any cross-border attacks," writes the BBC's Shevchenko: "They would amount to a major escalation in an already bitter conflict."

Artificial Intelligence and Chemical and Biological Weapons

Sometimes reality is a cold slap in the face. Consider, as a particularly salient example, a recently published article concerning the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the creation of chemical and biological weapons (the original publication, in Nature, is behind a paywall, but this link is a copy of the full paper). Anyone unfamiliar with recent innovations in the use of AI to model new drugs will be unpleasantly surprised.

Here’s the background: In the modern pharmaceutical industry, the discovery of new drugs is rapidly becoming easier through the use of artificial intelligence/machine learning systems. As the authors of the article describe their work, they have spent decades “building machine learning models for therapeutic and toxic targets to better assist in the design of new molecules for drug discovery.”

… And so, AI opens the possibility of creating new catastrophic biological and chemical weapons. Some commentators condemn new technology as “inherently evil tech.” However, the better view is that all new technology is neutral and can be used for good or ill. But that does not mean nothing can be done to avoid the malignant uses of technology. And there is a real risk when technologists run ahead with what is possible, before human systems of control and ethical assessment catch up. Using artificial intelligence to develop toxic biological and chemical weapons would seem to be one of those use-cases where severe problems may lie ahead.

Does the US have a similar force working to put the truth on social media? Probably not.

For Russian diplomats, disinformation is part of the job

Washington Post: “As governments and social media companies have moved to suppress Russia’s state media and the disinformation it spreads about the war in Ukraine, the Kremlin’s diplomats are stepping up to do the dirty work. Russian embassies and consulates around the world are prolifically using Facebook, Twitter and other platforms to deflect blame for atrocities while seeking to undermine the international coalition supporting Ukraine. Tech companies have responded by adding more labels to Russia’s diplomatic accounts and by removing the accounts from its recommendations and search results. But the accounts are still active and are disseminating disinformation and propaganda in nearly every nation, in part because their diplomatic status gives them an added layer of protection from moderation. With hundreds of social media accounts on every continent, Russia’s diplomatic corps acts as a global network for propaganda, in which the same claims can be recycled and tweaked for different audiences in different nations. And, so far, steps to substantially curtail that effort have fallen short…”

Mysterious Explosions Throughout Russia, Belgorod Ammunition Depot on Fire

The sound of explosions broke the stillness of the night in Russia's Belgorod province, near the border with Ukraine, where Russian media reported an ammunition depot was on fire.

The fire broke out in the early hours of Wednesday in the village of Staraya Nelidovka, some 20 miles from the Ukrainian border, Belgorod's regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov wrote on Telegram, Russian news agency TASS reported.

… Gladkov said that there were no reports of damaged buildings or casualties among civilians, but he mentioned that similar blasts could be heard at the same time in the city of Belgorod.

Belgorod, which stands close to the Ukrainian border near the Kharkiv region, is some 205 miles away from Bryansk, the city where an oil depot was reported on fire on Monday, April 25.

… A Voronezh district civil defense and emergency official said that two loud bangs were heard in the Shilovo neighborhood in the southwestern Russian city, according to TASS.

A boom in Earth observation satellites creating new demands for intelligence

Elon Musk earlier this month opened a new Tesla assembly plant in Austin, Texas, and predicted it will produce as many as 500,000 vehicles annually by next year.

To keep a closer eye on activities at the plant, investors and financial firms are turning to Earth observation companies like BlackSky that use satellites to monitor locations for customers.

“We have a lot of interest in monitoring the Tesla facility that just launched,” said Amy Minnick, chief commercial officer at BlackSky.

Just by monitoring the Tesla factory’s parking lot and surrounding traffic, insights can be drawn on car production, she said. Electric vehicle market analysts and car companies, for example, will be trying to estimate how many cars are actually being made and will look at, for example, what suppliers are delivering parts and how often.

BlackSky’s constellation of 14 satellites can image the same location 15 times a day. The company uses artificial intelligence algorithms to analyze images and combine the pictures with third-party data sources such as radar and radio-frequency imagery.

Did you receive a text message from yourself? You’re not alone.

A few weeks ago, I woke up to an early morning text message on my smartphone. It wasn’t my editor or a needy friend in a different time zone. It was a message from myself.

“Free Msg: Your bill is paid for March. Thanks, here’s a little gift for you” the text from my own phone number read, pointing me to a web link.

In the past month, I’ve received a handful of such texts. In online forums, many Verizon customers have reported the same experience.

It was clear to me what was going on. Scammers had used internet tools to manipulate phone networks to message me from a number they weren’t actually texting from. It was the same method that robocallers use to “spoof” phone calls to appear as though they are coming from someone legitimate, like a neighbor. Had I clicked on the web link, I most likely would have been asked for personal information like a credit card number, which a scammer could use for fraud.

… Only recently has mobile phone fraud shifted more toward texting, experts said. Spam texts from all sorts of phone numbers — and not just your own — are on the rise. In March, 11.6 billion scam messages were sent on American wireless networks, up 30% from February. That outpaced robocalls, which rose 20% in the same period, according to an analysis by Teltech, which makes anti-spam tools for phones.

Transforming The Fishing Industry In The Information Age

People in the world’s developed nations live in a post-industrial era, working mainly in service or knowledge industries. Manufacturers increasingly rely on sensors, robots, artificial intelligence and machine learning to replace human labor or make it more efficient. Farmers can monitor crop health via satellite and apply pesticides and fertilizers with drones.

Commercial fishing, one of the oldest industries in the world, is a stark exception. Industrial fishing, with factory ships and deep-sea trawlers that land thousands of tons of fish at a time, are still the dominant hunting mode in much of the world.

This approach has led to overfishing, stock depletions, habitat destruction, the senseless killing of unwanted by-catch and wastage of as much as 30% to 40% of landed fish. Industrial fishing has devastated artisanal pre-industrial fleets in Asia, Africa and the the Pacific.

… An average fish travels 5,000 miles before reaching a plate, according to sustainable-fishing advocates.
