NATO Wargame Examines Cyber Risk to Financial System
One of the world’s largest cyber wargames is, for the first time, specifically exploring how banks and other financial institutions might respond to a widespread physical and cyber conflict.
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is running its annual Locked Shields exercise from April 13 to April 16 through its Estonia-based Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence. The wargame includes scenarios exploring how widespread attacks on a fictional nation’s infrastructure might strike at activities critical to keeping the global financial system functioning, such as payments and settlement operations.
U.S. lawmakers and government officials have long worried about catastrophic risks to the financial services industry posed by cyberattacks, given the degree to which companies are connected to each other and every critical infrastructure sector. For instance, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York last June published research showing that a cyberattack affecting any of the top five U.S. banks would on average likely impair over a third of the U.S. payments network.
Let’s see if the argument that “the data was already public” has any traction.

Facebook faces ‘mass action’ lawsuit in Europe over 2019 breach
Facebook is to be sued in Europe over the major leak of user data that dates back to 2019 but which only came to light recently after information on 533M+ accounts was found posted for free download on a hacker forum.
Today Digital Rights Ireland (DRI) announced it’s commencing a “mass action” to sue Facebook, citing the right to monetary compensation for breaches of personal data that’s set out in the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Article 82 of the GDPR provides for a ‘right to compensation and liability’ for those affected by violations of the law.
Probably not the one.

New Federal Data Privacy Legislation Proposed
Christopher Burgess reports:
In late March 2021, Representative Susan DelBene (D-WA 01) introduced legislation to the 116th Congress to protect consumer privacy and put control of consumers’ data in their own hands.
DelBene noted that states are surging ahead [thrashing about? Bob] of the federal government in creating privacy laws, each with their own flavor and each serving the needs of a particular constituency/demographic. DelBene argued that having a federal policy will stem consumer confusion and put the United States back into the conversation on global privacy policies. The EU, for example, is pushing their General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as the global standard.

The Reasonable Robot: Artificial Intelligence and the Law
Abbott, Ryan Benjamin, The Reasonable Robot: Artificial Intelligence and the Law (Excerpt) (2020). Cambridge University Press, 2020, Available at SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3611370
“AI and people do not compete on a level-playing field. Self-driving vehicles may be safer than human drivers, but laws often penalize such technology. People may provide superior customer service, but businesses are automating to reduce their taxes. AI may innovate more effectively, but an antiquated legal framework constrains inventive AI. In The Reasonable Robot, Ryan Abbott argues that the law should not discriminate between AI and human behavior and proposes a new legal principle that will ultimately improve human well-being. This work should be read by anyone interested in the rapidly evolving relationship between AI and the law.”
Most interesting. Consider self-guided weapons…

What separates humans from AI? It’s doubt
Computers can drive our cars and beat us at chess. What they lack is our ability to know when we don’t know
… AI researchers have known for some time that machine-learning technology tends to be overconfident. For instance, imagine I ask an artificial neural network — a piece of computer software inspired by how the brain works, which can learn to perform new tasks — to classify a picture of a dolphin, even though all it has seen are cats and dogs. Unsurprisingly, having never been trained on dolphins, the network cannot issue the answer “dolphin”. But instead of throwing up its hands and admitting defeat, it often gives wrong answers with high confidence.
In fact, as a 2019 paper from Matthias Hein’s group at the University of Tübingen showed, as the test images become more and more different from the training data, the AI’s confidence goes up, not down — exactly the opposite of what it should do.
Perspective. No cameras installed near the church to catch this guy, but don’t touch my car or I’ll rat you out to the cops!

A Tesla Helped Police Track Down a Hate Crime Suspect Accused of Burning Down a Black Church
… Throughout December, someone was setting fires at the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Presbyterian Church, a “predominately Black” congregation located in Springfield, Massachusetts. An FBI affidavit claims that the last of these fires, set on Dec. 28, “essentially destroyed” the building—burning away large parts of the interior. During this period, the same person is suspected of having carried out a “series of tire-slashings” targeted at vehicles near or around the church—a majority of which were owned by Black individuals.
… Court documents illustrate how state, local and federal authorities used a variety of surveillance footage and data collection to piece together Vulchev’s whereabouts and place him at or near these crimes. In particular, the vandal slipped up when he allegedly slashed the tires of a Tesla located not far from the church Authorities say one of the car’s many pre-installed security cameras caught blatant images of the culprit as he damaged the tires, then later returned to steal them along with the vehicle’s rims.
