IoT security camera infected within 98 seconds of plugging it
in
Unlike the average Jane or Joe Doe who would not want their
security camera to be immediately infected with malware, Rob Graham, CEO of
Errata Security, called it “fun”
to watch the infection happen. He tweet-documented
his experience.
… It supports
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), not a secure feature but easy for non-techies to
setup since basically a person plugs a UPnP device in and it works. The average user would not likely do this, but
Graham said he isolated the camera from his home network by setting it up
behind a Raspberry Pi router.
… His security
camera ended up with multiple malware infections. Mirai malware was not the first infection; he
said it was “something else similar to it.”

From Bryan Cave, this free resource on Incident
Readiness and Response:
Since the first publication of
this handbook in 2014, the legal ramifications for mishandling a data security
incident have become more severe. In the
United States, the number of federal and state laws that claim to regulate data
security has mushroomed. The European
Union has also enacted a new General Data Protection Regulation which will
extend the United States framework for responding to data breaches across the
EU, but with significantly enhanced penalties. This handbook provides a basic framework to
assist in-house legal departments with handling a security incident.

Most Students Don’t Know When News Is Fake, Stanford Study
Finds
Preteens and teens may appear dazzlingly fluent, flitting
among social-media sites, uploading selfies and texting friends. But they’re often clueless about evaluating
the accuracy and trustworthiness of what they find.
Some 82% of middle-schoolers couldn’t distinguish between
an ad labeled “sponsored content” and a real news story on a website, according
to a Stanford University study of 7,804 students from middle school through
college. The study, set for release
Tuesday, is the biggest so far on how teens evaluate information they find
online. Many students judged the credibility of newsy tweets based on how much
detail they contained or whether a large photo was attached, rather than on the
source.

Almost half the world will be online by end of 2016; poorer
countries will lag : Report
By the end of 2016, almost half of the world's population
will be using the internet as mobile networks grow and prices fall, but their
numbers will remain concentrated in the developed world, a United Nations
agency said on Tuesday.
In the world's developed countries about 80 percent of the
population use the internet. But only
about 40 percent in developing countries and less than 15 percent in
less-developed countries are online, according to a report by the U.N.'s
International Telecommunications Union (ITU).
