least six procedures that would make this impossible.

Operator of
Tonga's internet cable cannot rule out sabotage
A director at the operator of Tonga's undersea
internet cable has said he cannot rule out sabotage as the reason the
cable broke and plunged
the Pacific nation into virtual darkness for
almost two weeks.
Repair crews found two breaks along the vital
fibre-optic cable that connects Tonga
with the rest of the world, Piveni Piukala, a director of Tonga Cable
Ltd., said on Monday.
Several kilometres away, they found two more
breaks and rope entangled on the separate domestic cable that
connects the main island with some of Tonga's outer islands.

M.H.n reports:
Sixgill, an Israeli threat intelligence company, recently revealed that a Russian-language darknet forum has been selling access to the content management systems of a variety of news sites.
According to the company, the illicit trade has been going on since October 2018.
One bundle that the darknet website offered contained logins to 1,425 U.S.-based news sites.

UN launches
Cyber Policy Portal
“The United Nations Institute for Disarmament
Research (UNIDIR) has just launched a Cyber
Policy Portal that serves as an interactive, ‘at a
glance’ tool for policymakers and experts. For the first time on a
single site, users can access concise yet comprehensive
cyber policy profiles of all 193 UN Member States, as well
as regional and international organizations. Individual profiles
summarize and link key cyber strategy documents, responsible
agencies, legislation, and multilateral agreements. While
governments are increasingly making their cybersecurity strategies
and policies publicly available, policy-makers and experts seeking to
develop an overview of national and international cyber policies
often still need to piece together data from disparate sources. They
attempt to identify relevant information in foreign languages, scour
lengthy printed reports, and maneuver past complex assessment scores.
The sleek new Portal improves access to this critical information in a single, user-friendly tool. Search filters and a compare function allow easy analysis of progress across States and regions. Additional features include sharable and printable profiles, and feedback mechanisms to allow timely updates. All data is from open source and voluntarily submitted material with links to primary sources accessible within the Portal. Check out this short video to learn more and let us know what you think!”
Politicians will try to block this technology.
Apparently they all have something to hide.
Companies
crawl the web with artificial intelligence to spot employee 'red
flags'
Businesses are crawling social media, email and
internal instant messaging services for employees making sexist or
bullying comments in an attempt to root out troublesome behaviour and
avoid lawsuits.
Fama, a California start-up which claims to have
120 clients including Fortune 500 companies, said it is helping
businesses weed out
individuals likely to cause a rift among workers and
expose the business to costly lawsuits.
Its artificial intelligence-powered snooping
software identified 82,900 instances of misogyny, 40,200 instances of
bigotry, 677 insinuations of violence and 589 instances of criminal
behaviour in 2018. Fama claims to scan 15,000 workers per month...

5 Internet
Of Things Trends Everyone Should Know About
… Soon, it will be taken for granted that
pretty much any device we own – cars, TVs, watches, kitchen
appliances can go online and communicate with each other. In
industry too, tools and machinery are increasingly intelligent and
connected, generating data that drives efficiency and enables new
paradigms such as predictive maintenance to become a reality, rather
than a pipe-dream. In fact, it is predicted that by the end of 2019
there will be 26
billion connected devices around the world.
Here are five predictions about how this is likely
to play out over the next 12 months as we become increasingly used to
the fact that the internet isn’t just something we connect to using
computers and smartphones, but virtually anything we can think of:
