This week Nick talks to Parmy Olson. Parmy Olson is a prominent technology journalist and author, currently a columnist for Bloomberg Opinion. She previously covered tech and innovation for The Wall Street Journal and Forbes, with a focus on AI, robotics, and emerging technologies. In 2012, she published We Are Anonymous, an acclaimed deep dive into the hacker groups Anonymous and LulzSec. Her 2024 book, Supremacy: AI, ChatGPT, and the Race That Will Change the World, explores the rivalry between tech giants like OpenAI and DeepMind in the pursuit of artificial general intelligence, earning the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award. Nick and Parmy discuss the intense race to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) and the far-reaching implications of that pursuit. Their conversation highlights the contrast between the idealistic visions of DeepMind's Demis Hassabis and OpenAI's Sam Altman—who saw AGI as a force for solving global challenges—and the reality that both ultimately became deeply tied to tech giants like Google and Microsoft to fund their ambitions. Parmy explains how this reliance shifted the focus away from social good and towards corporate interests. Together, they explore the broader consequences of this power shift, including the lack of meaningful regulation, ongoing ethical concerns around bias and safety in AI models, and the growing dominance of a few large tech firms. They also reflect on the social risks—from job losses and the disruption of traditional career paths to the emotional dependency people are beginning to form with chatbots—raising important questions about the kind of future society is heading towards.

Our guest in this episode is Parmy Olson, a columnist for Bloomberg covering technology. Parmy has previously been a reporter for the Wall Street Journal and for Forbes. Her first book, “We Are Anonymous”, shed fascinating light on what the subtitle calls “the Hacker World of LulzSec, Anonymous, and the Global Cyber Insurgency”.But her most recent book illuminates a set of high-stakes relations with potentially even bigger consequences for human wellbeing. The title is “Supremacy: AI, ChatGPT and the Race That Will Change the World”. The race is between two remarkable individuals, Sam Altman of OpenAI and Demis Hassabis of DeepMind, who are each profoundly committed to build AI that exceeds human capabilities in all aspects of reasoning.Selected follow-ups:Parmy Olson, BloombergSupremacy: AI, ChatGPT, and the Race that Will Change the WorldAI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley and the new world order - book by Kai-Fu LeeThe Coming Wave - book by Mustafa SuleymanBromance Gone Sour: OpenAI and Microsoft's Partnership Hits a Rough Patch - GeekflareFor our Posterity - essay by Leopold AschenbrennerOpenAI appoints Retired U.S. Army General Paul M.

Podcast: Hack the Plant (LS 34 · TOP 3% what is this?)Episode: Securing Embedded SystemsPub date: 2024-09-25In this episode, Bryson sits down with MITRE EMB3D co-founder Niyo Little Thunder Pearson. For nearly 20 years, Niyo has been at the forefront of protecting critical infrastructure systems. He previously led incident response for American Express, directing the company's Security Operations Center during the LulzSec and Anonymous attacks, and worked to develop an adversarial cyber defense program for the nation's third largest gas utility at ONE Gas Oklahoma. Now, Niyo has co-founded MITRE EMB3D, a groundbreaking global threat network aimed at enhancing the security of embedded devices. What is MITRE EMB3D? Who is the intended audience? What problems is it trying to solve? “There is such a gap that exists today on what we understand and how risk averse these [embedded] devices are. They do well and they operate well. They're built for what they're doing in a safety context, but the security was never brought forward with it,” Niyo said. Join us for this and more on this episode of Hack the Plan[e]t. Hack the Plant is brought to you by ICS Village and the Institute for Security and Technology. The podcast and artwork embedded on this page are from Bryson Bort, which is the property of its owner and not affiliated with or endorsed by Listen Notes, Inc.

The name Lulzsec is probably very familiar to listeners who were around in 2011, when this hacking group was at the peak of its nefarious activity. As their name implies, Lulzsec was known for trolling their victims: their childish behavior might have fooled some people into thinking that Lulzsec was mostly harmless - but as the story you're about to hear will show, they were anything but.

Karim Hijazi has been at the forefront of attacker counterintelligence and infiltration research for the last decade, developing new ways for security teams to clandestinely monitor hackers and anticipate attacks before they happen. Prior to launching Prevailion, Karim was the founder/CEO of Unveillance, an early pioneer in advanced threat intelligence and the first cloud-based data leak intelligence platform. Karim successfully exited Unveillance in 2012 with an acquisition by Mandiant, and he was then appointed as Mandiant's new director of intelligence. While at Mandiant, Karim played an important role in that company's well-known APT1 report released in 2013, which definitively linked the People's Liberation Army of China to widespread cyber espionage activity against US interests. Mandiant was acquired by FireEye soon after. During the hacktivist heydays of the early 2010s, Karim engaged in a well-documented battle with the Anonymous offshoot “LulzSec,” after the group compromised an InfraGard database. Karim's confrontation with the group was featured in Parmy Olson's book, “We Are Anonymous,” as well as national media like CNN and CNET. During the Arab Spring, Karim also served as a key contributor to the Cyber Security Forum Initiative's “Project Cyber Dawn Libya,” which provided the first in-depth look at Libyan cyber warfare capabilities and defenses. CSFI's membership includes military officials, academics and business leaders from the US and around the world. Do you want to get the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

In June 2011, a Con Edison truck was parked outside of Hector Monsegur's New York apartment, every day for over a week. But Hector - better known as Sabu, the ringleader of the LulzSec hacking group -wasn't fooled: he guessed, correctly, that the FBI was on to him. But it turned out that of all the people who broke or disregarded the law in this particular story, only one man had a reason to worried: Jeremy Hammond.

RSnake sat down with Karim Hijazi: a serial entrepreneur, and a professional photographer by training, but most relevant to today's show he's also a security expert. RSnake and Karim dive into his background in industrial espionage, explored the world of malware, and landed on a lot of the biggest issues with keeping people and companies safe online. If you're not familiar with this world, it may feel a bit alien but this is a great example of the kinds of conversation RSnake has wanted to make public since the podcast's inception. Errata: We were referring to Hector Xavier Monsegur in the section on Lulzsec

Nothing is more sobering for an intelligence and cybersecurity professional than receiving an ominous email with one of your passwords in the subject line and the body of the email with nothing more than the words: “Let's talk…” This is the story of how I got into a cyber dogfight with one of the world's most notorious hacker groups and leveraged the outcome to my advantage. From dispelling the myth that I was a secret government operative targeting remote third-world countries to working with the intelligence community to hunt down international hackers, this episode is truly stranger than fiction... but incredibly and utterly true.

A honeypot is basically a computer made to look like a sweet, yummy bit of morsel that a hacker might find yummy mcyummersons. This is the story of one of the earliest on the Internet. Clifford Stoll has been a lot of things. He was a teacher and a ham operator and appears on shows. And an engineer at a radio station. And he was an astronomer. But he's probably best known for being an accidental systems administrator at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory who setup a honeypot in 1986 and used that to catch a KGB hacker. It sounds like it could be a movie. And it was - on public television. Called “The KGB, the Computer, and Me.” And a book. Clifford Stoll was an astronomer who stayed on as a systems administrator when a grant he was working on as an astronomer ran out. Many in IT came to the industry accidentally. Especially in the 80s and 90s. Now accountants are meticulous. The monthly accounting report at the lab had never had any discrepancies. So when the lab had a 75 cent accounting error, his manager Dave Cleveland had Stoll go digging into the system to figure out what happened. And yet what he found was far more than the missing 75 cents. This was an error of time sharing systems. And the lab leased out compute time at $300 per hour. Everyone who had accessed the system had an account number to bill time to. Well, everyone except a user named hunter. They disabled the user and then got an email that one of their computers tried to break into a computer elsewhere. This is just a couple years after the movie War Games had been released. So of course this was something fun to dig your teeth into. Stoll combed through the logs and found the account that attempted to break into the computers in Maryland was a local professor named Joe Sventek, now at the University of Oregon. One who it was doubtful made the attempt because he was out town at the time. So Stoll set his computer to beep when someone logged in so he could set a trap for the person using the professors account. Every time someone connected a teletype session, or tty, Stoll checked the machine. Until Sventek connected and with that, he went to see the networking team who confirmed the connection wasn't a local terminal but had come in through one of the 50 modems through a dial-up session. There wasn't much in the form of caller ID. So Stoll had to connect a printer to each of the modems - that gave him the ability to print every command the user ran. A system had been compromised and this user was able to sudo, or elevate their privileges. UNIX System V had been released 3 years earlier and suddenly labs around the world were all running similar operating systems on their mainframes. Someone with a working knowledge of Unix internals could figure out how to do all kinds of things. Like add a program to routine housecleaning items that elevated their privileges. They could also get into the passwd file that at the time housed all the passwords and delete those that were encrypted, thus granting access without a password. And they even went so far as to come up with dictionary brute force attacks similar to a modern rainbow table to figure out passwords so they wouldn't get locked out when the user whose password was deleted called in to reset it again. Being root allowed someone to delete the shell history and given that all the labs and universities were charging time, remove any record they'd been there from the call accounting systems. So Stoll wired a pager into the system so he could run up to the lab any time the hacker connected. Turns out the hacker was using the network to move laterally into other systems, including going from what was ARPANET at the time to military systems on Milnet. The hacker used default credentials for systems and leave accounts behind so he could get back in later. Jaeger means hunter in German and those were both accounts used. So maybe they were looking for a German. Tymenet and Pacbell got involved and once they got a warrant they were able to get the phone number of the person connecting to the system. Only problem is the warrant was just for California. Stoll scanned the packet delays and determined the hacker was coming in from overseas. The hacker had come in through Mitre Corporation. After Mitre disabled the connection the hacker slipped up and came in through International Telephone and Telegraph. Now they knew he was not in the US. In fact, he was in West Germany. At the time, Germany was still divided by the Berlin Wall and was a pretty mature spot for espionage. They confirmed the accounts were indicating they were dealing with a German. Once they had the call traced to Germany they needed to keep the hacker online for an hour to trace the actual phone number because the facilities there still used mechanical switching mechanisms to connect calls. So that's where the honeypot comes into play. Stoll's girlfriend came up with the idea to make up a bunch of fake government data and host it on the system. Boom. It worked, the hacker stayed on for over an hour and they traced the number. Along the way, this hippy-esque Cliff Stoll had worked with “the Man.” Looking through the logs, the hacker was accessing information about missile systems, military secrets, members of the CIA. There was so much on these systems. So Stoll called some of the people at the CIA. The FBI and NSA were also involved and before long, German authorities arrested the hacker. Markus Hess, whose handle was Urmel, was a German hacker who we now think broke into over 400 military computers in the 80s. It wasn't just one person though. Dirk-Otto Brezinski, or DOB, Hans Hübner, or Pengo, and Karl Koch, or Pengo were also involved. And not only had they stolen secrets, but they'd sold them to The KGB using Peter Carl as a handler. Back in 1985, Koch was part of a small group of hackers who founded the Computer-Stammtisch in Hanover. That later became the Hanover chapter of the Chaos Computer Club. Hübner and Koch confessed, which gave them espionage amnesty - important in a place with so much of that going around in the 70s and 80s. He would be found burned by gasoline to death and while it was reported a suicide, that has very much been disputed - especially given that it happened shortly before the trials. DOB and Urmel received a couple years of probation for their part in the espionage, likely less of a sentence given that the investigations took time and the Berlin Wall came down the year they were sentenced. Hübner's story and interrogation is covered in a book called Cyberpunk - which tells the same story from the side of the hackers. This includes passing into East Germany with magnetic tapes, working with handlers, sex, drugs, and hacker-esque rock and roll. I think I initially read the books a decade apart but would strongly recommend reading Part II of it either immediately before or after The Cukoo's Egg. It's interesting how a bunch of kids just having fun can become something far more. Similar stories were happening all over the world - another book called The Hacker Crackdown tells of many, many of these stories. Real cyberpunk stories told by one of the great cyberpunk authors. And it continues through to the modern era, except with much larger stakes than ever. Gorbachev may have worked to dismantle some of the more dangerous aspects of these security apparatuses, but Putin has certainly worked hard to build them up. Russian-sponsored and other state-sponsored rings of hackers continue to probe the Internet, delving into every little possible hole they can find. China hacks Google in 2009, Iran hits casinos, the US hits Iranian systems to disable centrifuges, and the list goes on. You see, these kids were stealing secrets - but after the Morris Worm brought the Internet to its knees in 1988, we started to realize how powerful the networks were becoming. But it all started with 75 cents. Because when it comes to security, there's no amount or event too small to look into.

In the wake of the recent SolarWinds incident, never has Karim Hijazi been so busy. Karim started his career in photography and then quickly transitioned into starting his own security consultancy. Since then, he has had numerous interesting events including a public battle with Lulzsec in 2011. Now, his company Prevailion is in the spotlight more than ever due to its novel approach to supplier security.

Pengar är inte allt! Även om en hel del hackare har detta som sin största motivation, finns det många som vill ställa det som gjorts fel till rätta, stoppa orättvisor eller avslöja korruption som sitt kall. Man skulle kunna tala i timmar och dagar om alla som hackar för vad de anser var en bättre värld, men i detta avsnitt samlar Mattias och Erik ett axplock av de kändaste attackerna och funderar på hur det hela startade och sedan kom att utvecklas. Är hacktivisten idag död eller smider nya planer? Vad är problemet med att protestera när man inte vet vem man gör det med eller vilka som kan vilja ta över det hela? Kan en skyddad identitet hålla dig säker? Är information lika kraftfullt som ett laddat vapen? Show notes finns här: https://www.itsakerhetspodden.se/show-notes-for-97-hacktivismens-historia/  

Assange: l'ultima speranza Da Londra la nostra inviata Berenice Galli. Dopo una lunga pausa causata dal lockdown, lunedì 7 settembre, Julian Assange è tornato nuovamente in tribunale. L'udienza si è tenuta presso la corte londinese di Old Bailey, segnando la fase cruciale in merito alla richiesta di estradizione negli Usa del fondatore di Wikileaks. Sebbene una nuova accusa sia stata presentata dagli Stati Uniti, il 22 giugno scorso, il tribunale britannico ha respinto la richiesta presentata dalla difesa di Julian Assange di aggiornare l'udienza e sentire nuovamente i testimoni. Washington ha infatti allargato “la portata della cospirazione” di cui accusa Assange. Per il Dipartimento di Giustizia statunitense il fondatore di WikiLeaks avrebbe reclutato hacker, vale a dire un gruppo noto come LulzSec, con lo scopo di violare le reti informatiche del governo degli Stati Uniti per rubare dati. Persino Amnesty International ha affermato che Assange era, ed è, “l'obiettivo di una campagna pubblica negativa da parte di funzionari statunitensi ai massimi livelli”. Il procedimento è atteso con un verdetto di primo grado, appellabile, fra 4 settimane. Molte le manifestazioni in favore di Assange, tanto a Londra come a Roma.

They are, of course, the identity and auth giant and one of the few sponsors we actually approached last year for 2020 because, well, they are very good at what they do. This week Marc will be joining us to talk about a privacy-related topic. The discussion is nuanced, but it’s basically about how the public perception of privacy risks has diverged from the reality/ Further, that the COVID-19 crisis and the advent of digital contact tracing apps have actually brought general concerns around digital privacy to the fore.

Anonymous:¿El regreso del hacktivismo o manipulación de masas? Historia : Anonymous es un movimiento/colectivo activista/hacktivista internacional “descentralizado” que es ampliamente conocido por sus diversos ataques cibernéticos contra varios gobiernos, instituciones gubernamentales y agencias gubernamentales, corporaciones y la Iglesia de Scientology. Anonymous se originó en los foros de 4chan y la máscara la tomaron de la película V for Vendetta. NOTA de Máscara: (Que en realidad es de Guy Fawkes, un Católico Inglés que intentó derrocar la monarquía protestante durante la rebelión de la pólvora, NO confundir con la máscara usada en la serie “La casa de papel”, donde se usa el rostro de Salvador Dalí, un artista Español representante del Surrealismo). . . Operaciones que se han atribuido: 2008 Project Chanology (2008) 2010 Operation Payback (2010) 2013 Million Mask March #OpOk Operation Safe Winter 2014 Shooting of Michael Brown Shooting of Tamir Rice 2015 Charlie Hebdo shootings Anti-Islamic "Reclaim Australia" rally Operation CyberPrivacy Operation KKK #OpSaudi #OpISIS #OpParis #OpNASADrones 2016 #BoycottThailand: Thailand jail hack 2016 US presidential election South African corruption 2020 United Nations hack Killing of George Floyd . . ¿Anonymous regresó? La realidad es que nunca se ha ido, ya que diversos grupos que se asocian a Anonymous siguen teniendo actividad en internet (No todo se trata de grandes hacks). Si es el grupo original o no, lo más probable es que no. Hoy cualquiera puede decir que es anonymous para cubrirse detrás del nombre. La realidad es que el grupo inicial se pudo haber desintegrado y algunos decidieron formar Lulzsec entre otros grupos de blackhats importantes. Una de las cuentas de Twitter que dice ser Anonymous y que cuenta con 120k seguidores, era una cuenta falsa de sorteos de K-pop hasta hace 3 días, después cambió de nombre y se volvió AnonNews. . . Hack al departamento de policía minneapolis. En cuanto a la información que sacaron del departamento de mineapolis, Troy Hunt (creador de haveibeenpwned) hizo un análisis y los resultados dicen que no realizaron ningún hackeo, sino probablemente esos registros los obtuvieron de bases de datos robadas anteriormente y que se encontraban en internet. Tomaron esas bases de datos, extrajeron los correos con dominios del departamento de mineapolis y los colocaron en una pequeña base de datos. En el análisis de Troy Hunt dice que hay correos repetidos en la base de datos y que el 95% de correos únicos ya estaban anteriormente en bases de datos que circulan en internet. Por otro lado, Troy Hunt dentro de su análisis también se dio cuenta que las contraseñas que se encuentran en la base de datos son muy sencillas, dice que el sistema de minneapolis no acepta ese tipo de contraseñas tan inseguras, . . Los medios de comunicación y su desinformación Algunos medios de comunicación decían que el hackeo comenzó desde el sábado 30 de mayo. Lo que en realidad sucedió fue un ataque de DDoS. Un ataque de DDoS es cuando muchas “personas” (peticiones) intentan entrar a un sitio web (en este caso) y el sitio web no cuenta con la capacidad de soportar a tantas “personas” al mismo tiempo. Acerca del DDoS, el grupo de Anonymous que subió el video no se lo han atribuido, la cuenta que posteo el video no habla de un ataque de DDoS, solo se podía ver el video. Pudo haber sido otro grupo pero no los que subieron el video. . . ¿El DDoS fue real? De que hubo un ataque de DDoS el 30 de mayo, si lo hubo (ver imagen), pero al tratarse de una página tan pequeña, lo más probable es que no se haya necesitado tanto tráfico para tirarla. El ataque que se ve en el mapa, algunos tuvieron una duración de 10 minutos, otros de 15, otros de menos y venía de España, Alemania, China, Corea, Australia, Brasil, Arabia Saudita, México y otros pocos países de LA. . . ¿Hackeo a el vaticano? No sucedió… fin. :D Publimetro hizo una nota donde hace referencia a un usuario de Twitter de nombre Manel Márquez, pero ya borró su tuit, otro usuario Robibooli no lo ha borrado. Pero la información que ellos dicen que ha sido “hackeada” es de un blog llamado “evangelizadorasdelosapostoles” de hace 1 año. . . ¿Hackeo a los radios de la policia de Chicago? Solo hay videos en las redes sociales con close-up al radio, no más. . . Los supuestos leaks de Jeffrey Epstein. Es información que ya existía en internet y pueden leer este hilo de @zallyhg: https://skty.cc/gy . . Conclusión Lo que si sucedió es que el video provocó reacciones entre los estadounidenses y aumentó los disturbios y la violencia. Yo creo que las personas solo necesitaban una razón para hacer mas grandes los disturbios y una de esas razones fue anonymous. También las redes sociales generaron desinformación que fue tomada por medios nacionales e internacionales sin que ellos hicieran alguna verificación antes de escribir sus artículos.

You Cannot Arrest An Idea Welcome to the History of Computing Podcast, where we explore the history of computers. Because understanding the helps us handle what's coming in future - and maybe helps us build what's next, without repeating some of our mistakes. Or if we do make mistakes, maybe we do so without taking things too seriously. Todays episode is a note from a hacker named Topiary, which perfectly wraps feelings many of us have had in words that… well, we'll let you interpret it once you hear it. First, a bit of his story. It's February, 2011. Tflow, Sabu, Keila, Topiary, and Ryan Ackroyd attack computer security firm HBGary Federal after CEO Barr decides to speak at a conference outing members of then 7 year old hacking collective Anonymous with the motto: We are Anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget. Expect us. As a part of Anonymous he would help hack Zimbabwe, Libya, Tunisia and other sites in support of Arab Spring protestors. They would go on to hack Westboro Baptist Church live during an interview. But that was part of a large collective. They would go on to form a group called Lulzsec with PwnSauce and AVunit. At Lulzsec, the 7 went on a “50 days of Lulz” spree. During this time they hit Fox.com, leaked the database of X factor Contestants, took over the PBS news site and published an article that Tupac was still alive and living in New Zealand. They published an article on the Sun claiming Rupert Murdoch died rather than testify in the voice mail hacking trials that were big at the time. They would steal data from Sony, DDoS All the Things, and they would go on to take down and or steal data from the US CIA, Department of Defense, and Senate. The light hearted comedy mixed with a considerable amount of hacking skills had earned them the love and adoration of tens of thousands. What happened next? Hackers from all over the world sent them their Lulz. Topiary helped get their haxies posted. Then Sabu was caught by the FBI and helped to out the others. Or did he. Either way, as one could expect, by July 2011, all had been arrested except AVunit. Topiary's last tweet said “You cannot arrest an idea.” The British government might disagree. Or maybe counter that you can arrest for acting on an idea. Once unmasked, Jake Davis was in jail and then banned from the Internet for 2 years. During that time Topiary, now known as Jake Davis, wrote what is an exceptional piece of writing, to have come from a 20 year old. Here it is: “Hello, friend, and welcome to the Internet, the guiding light and deadly laser in our hectic, modern world. The Internet horde has been watching you closely for some time now. It has seen you flock to your Facebook and your Twitter over the years, and it has seen you enter its home turf and attempt to overrun it with your scandals and “real world” gossip. You need to know that the ownership of cyberspace will always remain with the hivemind. The Internet does not belong to your beloved authorities, militaries, or multi-millionaire company owners. The Internet belongs to the trolls and the hackers, the enthusiasts and the extremists; it will never cease to be this way. You see, the Internet has long since lost its place in time and its shady collective continues to shun the fact that it lives in a specific year like 2012, where it has to abide by 2012's morals and 2012's society, with its rules and its punishments. The Internet smirks at scenes of mass rape and horrific slaughtering followed by a touch of cannibalism, all to the sound of catchy Japanese music. It simply doesn't give tuppence about getting a “job,” getting a car, getting a house, raising a family, and teaching them to continue the loop while the human race organizes its own death. Custom-plated coffins and retirement plans made of paperwork… The Internet asks why? You cannot make the Internet feel bad, you cannot make the Internet feel regret or guilt or sympathy, you can only make the Internet feel the need to have more lulz at your expense. The lulz flow through all in the faceless army as they see the twin towers falling with a dancing Hitler on loop in the bottom-left corner of their screens. The lulz strike when they open a newspaper and care nothing for any of the world's alleged problems. They laugh at downward red arrows as banks and businesses tumble, and they laugh at our glorious government overlords trying to fix a situation by throwing more currency at it. They laugh when you try to make them feel the need to “make something of life,” and they laugh harder when you call them vile trolls and heartless web terrorists. They laugh at you because you're not capable of laughing at yourselves and all of the pointless fodder they believe you surround yourselves in. But most of all they laugh because they can. This is not to say that the Internet is your enemy. It is your greatest ally and closest friend; its shops mean you don't have to set foot outside your home, and its casinos allow you to lose your money at any hour of the day. Its many chat rooms ensure you nao longer need to interact with any other members of your species directly, and detailed social networking conveniently maps your every move and thought. Your intimate relationships and darkest secrets belong to the horde, and they will never be forgotten. Your existence will forever be encoded into the infinite repertoire of beautiful, byte-sized sequences, safely housed in the cyber cloud for all to observe. And how has the Internet changed the lives of its most hardened addicts? They simply don't care enough to tell you. So welcome to the underbelly of society, the anarchistic stream-of-thought nebula that seeps its way into the mainstream world — your world — more and more every day. You cannot escape it and you cannot anticipate it. It is the nightmare on the edge of your dreams and the ominous thought that claws its way through your online life like a blinding virtual force, disregarding your philosophies and feasting on your emotions. Prepare to enter the hivemind” I hope Topiary still has a bit of funsies here and there. I guess we all grow up at some point. He now hunts for bug bounties rather than Lulz. One was addressed in iOS 10.13.1 when you could DoS an iOS device by shoving a malicious file into CoreText. That would be CVE-2017-7003. Hacking solutions together or looking for flaws in software. It can be like a video game. For better or worse. But I love that he's pointed that big ugly Victorian ASCII humble boat in the direction of helping to keep us betterer. And the world is a more secure place today than it was before them. And a bit more light hearted. So thank you Topiary, for making my world better for awhile. I'm sorry you paid a price for it. But I hope you're well.

We chat with a hacker from the infamous LulzSec group who defaced the websites including the Sun newspaper, took popular websites offline, and dumped user data like email addresses and passwords on public forums. Now a security researcher, Mustafa Al-Bassam, gives us a unique peek at a darker side of the web.

Llega un nuevo smartwatch, un foro polémico y un reto superado. Hola, mi nombre es Bruno Ortiz y les doy la bienvenida a Doble Check Hoy, un micropodcast con las noticias de tecnología más importantes para que empieces bien informado tu jornada. *Samsung presenta su nuevo Galaxy Watch Active 2* El miércoles 7 de agosto es la fecha señalada para que Samsung presente, desde Nueva York, su nuevo Galaxy Note 10. Pero ya sabemos que estos dispositivos importantes no suelen ser presentados solos, sin embargo, la coreana ha decidido comunicar oficialmente los detalles de su Galaxy Watch Active 2, una nueva versión de su smartwatch que apunta a ser un serio competidor para el (hasta ahora imbatible) Apple Watch. Los cambios no vienen tanto por el diseño: se sabe que incluirá un sensor que permitirá hacer electrocardiogramas, así como un interesante detector de caídas. No. No es que el dispositivo te avisará antes de caer al piso. Se trata de una alerta que permitirá saber si el usuario ha caído al suelo y, si no se levanta en una determinada cantidad de tiempo, automáticamente el reloj realizará una llamada a los servicios de emergencias. ¿Qué más traerá este nuevo reloj inteligente? Lo usual: nuevo detector de estrés, medición de pasos, de ritmo cardíaco y monitor del sueño, entre otras funciones. Se sabe que costará desde los US$ 279,99 en EE.UU. *¿Qué es 8chan* Como parte de la información relacionada con los lamentables tiroteos ocurridos el fin de semana pasado en EE.UU. y que acabaron con la vida de decenas de personas, se ha mencionado a 8chan como un lugar clave relacionado con estas masacres. 8chan es una plataforma de foros y justamente ahí uno de los atacantes -responsable de la matanza de El Paso- subió un manifiesto en donde se quejaba de la invasión hispana en su ciudad y así intentaba justificar sus actos. Otros manifiestos relacionados con actos violentos ocurridos en Nueva Zelanda y California también fueron subidos, en su momento a ese sitio. Esta plataforma se creó hace seis años como un espacio donde sus participantes pudieran expresarse libremente. Era una alternativa mucho más permisiva a 4chan, otra plataforma que varios años más atrás estuvo relacionada con organizaciones como Annonymous y LulzSec. En estos momentos, el foro está fuera de línea, pues la empresa que le alojaba sus contenidos decidió dejar de hacerlo. *Lo hizo a la segunda* Y finalmente, en su segundo intento, el francés Franky Zapata logró cruzar el Canal de la Mancha -desde Francia a Inglaterra- en poco más de 20 minutos, a bordo de su Flyboard Air. Solo tuvo que detenerse a mitad de camino para recargar combustible. ********************************** Muchas gracias por escucharnos una vez más.
