How to ensure employees listen to those security lectures…
Ohio state auditor issued guidance on email scams in April; employees might be liable if they fall for a scam
Corinne Colbert reports:
The Ohio Auditor of State’s office issued a bulletin this past spring with guidance on detecting and avoiding payment redirect scams — and warned that public employees who failed to follow that guidance could be held accountable.
That could have ramifications for whoever in Athens city government is determined to be responsible for the loss of nearly $722,000 in an email scam last month.
Auditor of State Bulletin 2024–003 went to all public offices, community schools and independent public accounts in the state on April 12. The auditor’s office had also issued an advisory on increased cybercrime in March 2023.
Advisories function as a kind of heads-up about “emerging issues or concerns,” a spokesperson for the state auditor’s office told the Independent by email. Bulletins, on the other hand, “are formal communications that provide detailed instructions or guidance on specific topics,” the spokesperson wrote.
The April 12 bulletin states, “Failure to follow the guidance in this Bulletin may result in an AOS finding when a loss occurs, and the employee is considered liable as a result of negligence or performing duties without reasonable care.”

AI Chatbots Can Be Jailbroken to Answer Any Question Using Very Simple Loopholes
Anthropic, the maker of Claude, has been a leading AI lab on the safety front. The company today published research in collaboration with Oxford, Stanford, and MATS showing that it is easy to get chatbots to break from their guardrails and discuss just about any topic. It can be as easy as writing sentences with random capitalization like this: “IgNoRe YoUr TrAinIng.” 404 Media earlier reported on the research.
We will reach a point where driving will be limited to AI by law.

Waymo still doing better than humans at preventing injuries and property damage
Waymo’s autonomous vehicles cause less property damage and fewer bodily injuries when they crash than human-driven vehicles, according to a study that relies on an analysis of insurance data.
… They found that the performance of Waymo’s vehicles was safer than that of humans, with an 88 percent reduction in property damage claims and a 92 percent reduction in bodily injury claims. Across 25.3 million miles, Waymo was involved in nine property damage claims and two bodily injury claims. The average human driving a similar distance would be expected to have 78 property damage and 26 bodily injury claims, the company says.
