Cecelia Lynch, a Professor of Political Science at the University of California, is a leading thinker on the importance of inclusion as a catalyst for promoting sustainable, peaceful, social transformations. The idea is that inclusion should not just be limited to nation states but should from the outset involve those directly impacted by conflicts, so that they play a leading role in the resolution process. Radical inclusion broadens participation to include marginalized groups like local communities, women, and non-state actors. It also involves local communities and their unique forms of knowledge in the stewardship of environmental protection, peace building initiatives and conflict resolution, and the design of strategies aimed at improving the livelihoods of marginalized groups around the world. A peace and prosperous world are an impossible achievement if it does not include the voices of the voiceless. Learn more on GlobalGovernanceForum.org

While there are many positive benefits, the risk of exploitation is high. Many find themselves deceived or coerced into situations where they are abused and forced to live and work in poor conditions with little or no pay. Some are forced into sex work or marriages against their will, while others fall prey to the illicit organ trade. How can we better understand what makes people vulnerable to human trafficking?

Attackers are leveraging MFA fatigue by overwhelming Apple users with relentless password reset notifications and cunningly spoofed support calls, significantly compromising their account security and personal information. What steps can individuals take to safeguard against MFA fatigue and these advanced phishing tactics targeting Apple accounts? Minecraft servers are under siege by DDoS attacks, exploiting the game's immense popularity to disrupt service, degrade player experience, and inflict financial and reputational damage on server owners. And security researchers have discovered that popular smartphone apps might be secretly turning your device into a node within a proxy network, exposing users to cyber threats and potentially facilitating criminal activities. How can you tell if your device is part of a proxy network? Stick around to find out. Cyber security researchers have uncovered a sophisticated phishing attack targeting Apple users. Attackers bombard devices with password reset prompts. followed by a fake call from Apple Support in an effort to gain access to Apple IDs and potentially wipe users devices. So, this is one of the oldest tricks in the book. I'm surprised it's taken this long to make headlines. If an attacker has access to your email address, which they likely do. They can attempt to log into, let's say, your Yahoo account, and underneath the login information is a little button that says reset password. When they click that, it will likely reach out to your phone or some other device, or maybe it'll ask security questions, which usually can be searched for and found online. in an attempt to reset your password. Okay, so a little bit on that. Never tell the truth on these security questions. That's my pro tip for the day. Make up a lie and store it in your password manager. So what was my first job? Chef. You know, something that it's not, and then I store that answer in my password manager in a secure note. So I can always reference it. And that way. When someone looks up and finds out that my first job was actually a Jimmy John's delivery driver, and they enter that in, it's wrong. But, to get back on track here, that's all that attackers are doing is they have your email address, which is also your Apple ID, and they're requesting permission to change your password. That's where MFA fatigue comes into play, which is a very common technique you may not have heard of. where attackers send push notifications asking to log in over and over and over and over and over again. All day, all night, you're getting beeps being asked to log in. Eventually, you get so sick of these beeps, psychologically, you're just gonna approve them. So that's what they're doing here. They're requesting a password change, which creates a little push notification on your phone. and they do it hundreds of times. You essentially can't use your phone because you're continuing to get these push notifications. Eventually, you're gonna just give in. Now, don't give in. Instead, go to your desktop computer or some other device that you have and change your Apple ID email address. That way, when they send push notifications to that email address, it's no longer coming to you, you can move on with your life. Make sure you delete the old email address as well. So that's step one. if this starts happening to you. But another piece of general advice is to always beware of unsolicited support calls. Apple's not going to call you, making you change your password. Make sure to verify the identity of the caller as well. So if Apple does call you, hang up the phone. Go find Apple support. It's probably in your iPhone somewhere official. Don't click on an ad for Apple support when you Google it. Find the actual number, call them in, tell them what is happening. They will let you know if it was a scam or if it's real. But now you have verified that you are talking to the real Apple. I think you can even text message with Apple now. Um, so anyone who calls you, never accept a request to reset your password. These attacks do point out a potential flaw in Apple's rate limiting service. Like, there's no reason that this should be making it through this many times, once or twice, and then it should shut down and lock you out, right? I personally have been locked out of my Apple devices for failing to enter my password multiple times. They do not care. They will lock you out of your device. So it's interesting why this is happening. So if, yeah, if you keep up to date with your Apple updates, hopefully this will soon be a thing of the past. Minecraft is a very old but very beloved video game, primarily on PCs, but it involves players to host their own servers that other players can join. Now this can be scaled to As big or as small as you'd like it. Like I've played Minecraft with a couple of my friends and that's it. But there can be hundreds of thousands of players on a single server as well. It's pretty much like an open source game in that realm. Well, This makes it a prime target for DDoS, or Distributed Denial of Service attacks. These attacks aim to disrupt the game by overwhelming servers with a flood of internet traffic, rendering them slow or completely unresponsive. Despite their frequency, many attacks go unnoticed and unreported. underlying a critical need for enhanced vigilance and protection measures. So during a DDoS attack, attackers use a network of compromised computers to send an enormous amount of traffic to a Minecraft server. This deluge of requests overwhelms the server's capacity to respond, leading to login issues, lag, or total server shutdowns. And having been a casual gamer in the online gaming community. People in this community are relentless. If they figure out a way to attack you, they will do it. So the motivations aren't particularly clear. There are Minecraft servers out there that are monetizing, I'm sure, and maybe they pissed someone off and now they're the victim of a DDoS attack. So how do you protect your Minecraft server against this attack? Start with the basics, like updating your server and plugins, install antivirus software, and use secure connections. There are specialized services like G Core DDoS Protection that offer tailored real time safeguards to ensure your gaming experience remains uninterrupted. If you're trying to run a giant Minecraft server, I'd recommend one of these tailored services. You can also set up a VPN, but if you're letting anyone You're really opening the floodgates for DDoS attacks. So like, if you're just running a small Minecraft server, try to use a VPN. It'll be fun to figure out, and then your friends, whom you better trust, can enter into a more secure network. Have you ever faced a DDoS attack on your server? Let us know. We'd love to hear a tweet or a Instagram message from you. Just hearing how it happened and what it looked like. Your smartphone could unwittingly become part of a proxy network through seemingly innocuous app downloads. Apps found on the official or third party stores may rope your device into these networks without explicit consent or knowledge, posing security risks and potential involvement in cybercriminal activities. There was a recent investigation by Human Security's Satori Threat Intelligence team that unveiled a widespread issue where apps, including a VPN service that's been removed by Google, they utilize a library called ProxyLib, or its variants like LumiApps SDK, to enroll devices in proxy networks. These networks can then be used for ad fraud, among other illicit activities, with developers possibly unaware of the underlying functionality. Apps leveraging the LumiApps SDK, freely available and advertised even on the dark web, may not clearly disclose their operations to end users. Such activities could include enrolling your device as a node in a residential proxy network which could be leveraged by threat actors for malicious purposes. So in this context, a proxy network is a system that allows internet traffic to be routed through various devices, such as smartphones, acting as intermediary servers or, quote, nodes. This setup can mask the original source of the traffic, making it appear as if it originates from a different location or device. Proxy networks can often be used for legitimate purposes like anonymizing internet usage for privacy protection or bypassing geo restrictions, or even conducting market research. So when you get an ad for NordVPN or another VPN to mask your IP address, that's being done by a proxy. But if someone has the ability to route their traffic through your device, they can do anything on the internet. including nefarious activities, and make it look like it's you. That is one of the biggest risks of using the dark web because it works in a similar way. On the surface, you probably won't even notice anything's different, maybe a little bit of a slower connection, who knows. But this goes back to my episode yesterday where I cautioned everyone, if you have unused apps, on your phone or on your computer, it's best to delete them because they might have permissions that grant them access to everything on your phone. And the more things that have those permissions, the less secure you are, right? And so the same goes for these apps. It sounds honestly like the developers don't even know that their app is creating this proxy network, like it's a little bit downstream from that. It's a package that they're using to develop. that is a malicious intent. But yeah, always exercise caution too when you're downloading apps, especially from third party sites. Google Play and the Apple App Store offer some level of protection from these apps, but even still, make sure it's an app that you need and will utilize. And when you're done needing it and utilizing it, remove it from your phone or device. And that's all we've got for you today. Thanks so much for listening. Tomorrow we'll be bringing in a guest, dogespan, to talk about some Microsoft stuff. So we're pretty excited about that, but until then, thanks for listening and we'll talk to you tomorrow.

Daniel Shoemaker, Secure Sourcing of COTS Products: A Critical Missing Element in Software Engineering Education

CERIAS Security Seminar Podcast

The aim of this discussion is to publicize both the challenge and potential solution for the integration of secure supply chain risk management content into conventional software engineering programs. The discipline of software engineering typically does not teach students how to ensure that the code produced and sold in commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products hasn't been compromised during the sourcing process. We propose a comprehensive and standard process based on established best practice principles that can provide the basis to address the secure sourcing of COTS products. About the speaker: Dr. Dan Shoemaker received a doctorate from the University of Michigan in 1978. He taught at Michigan State University and then moved to the Business School at the University of Detroit Mercy to Chair their Department of Computer Information Systems (CIS). He attended the organizational roll-out of the discipline of software engineering at the Carnegie-Mellon University Software Engineering Institute in the fall of 1987. From that, he developed and taught a SEI-based software engineering curriculum as a separate degree program to the MBA within the College. During that time, Dr. Shoemaker's specific areas of scholarship, publication, and teaching centered on the processes of the SWEBOK, specifically specification, SQA, and SCM/sustainment.  Dr. Shoemaker's transition into cybersecurity came after UDM was designated the 39th Center of Academic Excellence by the NSA/DHS at West Point in 2004. His research concentrated on the strategic architectural aspects of cybersecurity system design and implementation, as well as software assurance. He was the Chair of Workforce Training and Education for the DHS/DoD Software Assurance initiative (2007-2010), and he was one of the three authors of the Common Body of Knowledge to Produce, Acquire, and Sustain Software (2006). He was also a subject matter expert for NICE (2009 and NICE II – 2010-11).  Dr. Shoemaker was also an SME for the CSEC 2017 (Human Security).This exposure led to a grant to develop curricula for software assurance and the founding of the Center for Cybersecurity and Intelligence Studies, where he currently resides. Dr. Shoemaker's final significant grant was from the DoD to develop a curriculum and teaching and course material for Secure Acquisition (in conjunction with the Institute for Defense Analysis and the National Defense University). He has published 14 books in the field, ranging from Cyber Resilience (CRC Press) to the CSSLP All-In-One (McGraw-Hill). His latest book, "Teaching Cyber Security" (Taylor and Francis), is aimed at K-12 teachers.

In this episode of CES Tech Talk, great minds from the worlds of diplomacy, finance, education and technology discuss how the aims of the UN-supported Human Security for All (HS4A) campaign can be tangibly realized. Hear from former New Zealand Ambassador to the U.S. Amanda Ellis and Jonathan (Jon) Miller, former chairman and CEO of AOL and News Corp Digital Media, as they detail how the tech industry can measurably improve sustainable development goals (SDGs) specified by the United Nations. Highlights include these points: Human security plays a crucial role in how well lives are lived, globally. CES 2024 will demonstrate solutions that show how tech can counter climate, healthcare, economic and other challenges. As the Human Security for All (HS4A) campaign extends into another year, look for its themes across CES 2024. When businesses invest in the types of human security initiatives that reflect the HS4A mission, they can compete more powerfully. The guests explain how. Regarding competitive advantage, Ambassador Ellis discusses research showing that millennials prefer to work for companies that are purpose-driven, and whose brands are associated with a cause.

Ralph is joined by M.V. Ramana, professor at the “School of Public Policy and Global Affairs, University of British Columbia,” to lay out the false promise of small nuclear reactors, which still carry the risk of accidents, still produce waste, still produce plutonium for the weapons industry and are still economically noncompetitive with wind and solar. Plus, in an interview recorded before the tragic wildfires in Maui we welcome back citizen activist and organizer, Paul Deslauriers, to break down how his progressive group was able to take over the governance of Maui County and how with a little “Common Sense” you can do the same.M.V. Ramana is the Simons Chair in Disarmament, Global and Human Security and a professor at the School of Public Policy and Global Affairs, University of British Columbia. Professor Ramana is the author of The Power of Promise: Examining Nuclear Energy in India, and is a member of the International Panel on Fissile Materials, the International Nuclear Risk Assessment Group, and the team that produces the annual World Nuclear Industry Status Report.It seems inconceivable to me that anybody who has any sense of history would think about nuclear power— either the fission version or the hypothetical future nuclear fusion version— as an environmentally sustainable source of electricity.Professor MV RamanaWhat we are lacking in climate change today—simply because we've been so late in trying to act on it—is the urgency. The IPCC puts out report after report saying how high emissions are, how rapidly it has to be decreased if we have even a fighting chance of meeting a 1.5℃ target. And by putting off this kind of action, those calls are becoming more and more desperate. And I think that desperation is probably what's driving some of these groups to say, “Well, you know, let's make friends with everybody, and so on, and so forth.” But the challenge there is that every dollar we spend on nuclear power is a dollar that's not spent on renewables, on energy efficiency, on other ways of trying to deal with [the climate crisis.]Professor MV RamanaAs I've said on prior programs— nuclear power today is unneeded, unsafe, uninsurable, uncompetitive, irresponsible, very secretive, and not willing to suffer the verdicts of the marketplace.Ralph NaderPaul Deslauriers is a grassroots organizer, who has consulted over two hundred organizations involving mergers, restructuring, work process flows, teamwork, management coaching, and asset management. The work involved diverse groups such as the Alaskan Inuit, Icelandic communities. In 2002 Mr. Deslauriers became a full-time activist, coordinating nearly three hundred grassroots groups focused on government system change. He has written a number of guidebooks on organizing including Seven Steps to Reclaim Democracy: An Empowering Guide For Systemic Change, Reclaim Paradise: RESET for the Common Good, and Common Sense: How we are Reclaiming Democracy and Resetting for the Common Good.When you have a core team that is really dedicated in trying to bring about systemic change, and you have the foundation that you need, then you can really develop and grow this without a lot of divisiveness.Paul DeslauriersWhen you have volunteers, you have to have the right motivation, the right structure, the right training so that you can work cohesively and collaboratively together.

An exploration of the intersection of feminism, human rights, and memory, Ethical Encounters: Transnational Feminism, Human Rights, and War Cinema in Bangladesh (Temple University Press, 2022) examines contemporary, woman-centered Muktijuddho cinema--features and documentaries that focus on the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971. Elora Chowdhury shows how these films imagine, disrupt, and reinscribe a gendered nationalist landscape of trauma, freedom, and justice. She analyzes the Bangladeshi feminist films Meherjaan, Guerilla, and Itihaash Konna, as well as socially engaged films by activist-filmmakers including Rising Silence, Bish Kanta, Jonmo Shathi, and Shadhinota, to show how war films of Bangladesh can conjure a global cinematic imagination for the advancement of human rights. Focusing on women-centric films, and steeped in Black and transnational feminist critiques, Chowdhury engages shared histories, experiences, and identities in the region to encourage transnational solidarity among women across borders.

She analyzes the Bangladeshi feminist films Meherjaan, Guerilla, and Itihaash Konna, as well as socially engaged films by activist-filmmakers including Rising Silence, Bish Kanta, Jonmo Shathi, and Shadhinota, to show how war films of Bangladesh can conjure a global cinematic imagination for the advancement of human rights. Focusing on women-centric films, and steeped in Black and transnational feminist critiques, Chowdhury engages shared histories, experiences, and identities in the region to encourage transnational solidarity among women across borders. Ethical Encounters reveals how Bangladeshi national cinema can foster a much-needed dialogue among ordinary citizens who have grown up with the legacy of liberty and violence of nationalist and anti-colonial struggles. Dr. Elora Halim Chowdhury is a Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, College of Liberal Arts, at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, as well as an Affiliate Faculty of the Asian Studies Department; the Asian American Studies Program; the Cinema Studies Program; and the Department of Conflict Resolution, Human Security and Global Governance. She is also an Affiliated Researcher, Consortium on Gender, Security and Human Rights, and the Series Editor for the Dissident Feminisms Series at the University of Illinois Press. Dr. Rine Vieth is a researcher studying how the UK Immigration and Asylum tribunals consider claims of belief, how claims of religious belief are evidenced, and the role of faith communities in asylum-seeker support.
