For my Ethical Hackers. Hiding for six years is
good, but probably not a record.
Newly
discovered Slingshot malware was hidden in routers for 6 years
Securelist,
a division of Kaspersky
Lab, has identified a highly-advanced malware family called
"Slingshot,"
which appears to have been first deployed in 2012, and was active in
February when the researchers finished their investigation.
Researchers at Kaspersky Lab have identified nearly 100 targets of
the Slingshot APT (advanced persistent threat) including individuals,
government agencies, and organizations located primarily in Kenya,
Yemen, Libya, and Afghanistan.
Educating us educators.
Blockchain
May Offer a Résumé You Can Trust
Employers have struggled for years with the
question: How do I know these job candidates are telling the truth
about their background?
New assurance may come from a surprising place:
blockchain technology.
A handful of educational institutions and
technology companies are working on developing trustworthy, quickly
verifiable digital diplomas...
I think Sir Tim has it backward. Should we wrap
regulations around technologies that became a place for innovation
because they were open (i.e. unregulated.)
Tim
Berners-Lee: We need a ‘legal or regulatory framework’ to save
the Web from dominant tech platforms
World Wide Web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee
believes we need to regulate technology companies to help preserve
the Web as we know it.
The British computer scientist issued an open
letter today, 29 years to the day after he first proposed his idea
for the online information management system that would later become
known as the Web. In the letter, he outlined what he thinks we need
to do to save the Web from the concentration of power of a “few
dominant platforms” that has “made it possible to weaponize the
Web at scale.”
Too simple?
My
Simpleshow
“My
Simpleshow is a tool for building short “explainer” videos.
It includes a number of template storylines that users can select as
a starting point. For example, their educational templates include
“explain a mathematical formula,” “interpret literature,”
“introduce a biological process,” and others. There are also
professional storylines (like “introduce your startup”) and
personal storylines (like “invite someone to an event”). After
selecting a storyline, users flesh out the template script with their
specific details, select illustrations, and graphics, and select a
soundtrack. A number of sample explainer videos can be found under
“examples” in the menu at the top right of the site. My
Simpleshow is free for
personal or classroom use. A variety of paid plans are
also available for business use. My Simpleshow works in any modern
browser.”
