"For the first time in over a decade, bots now outnumber humans on the internet — and a growing percentage are built to defraud, disrupt, and deceive." — Tim Chang, Global VP & GM, Application Security, Thales In a sobering conversation with Technology Reseller News, Tim Chang of Thales shared key insights from the 2025 Imperva Bad Bot Report, a deep dive into the increasingly dangerous world of automated internet traffic. According to the report, 51% of all web traffic in 2024 was generated by bots, marking the first time bot traffic has surpassed human traffic. Even more concerning, 37% of all traffic is now classified as “bad bot” activity — a significant increase from 32% the previous year. Thales, a global leader in digital identity and cybersecurity with over 80,000 employees worldwide, acquired Imperva two years ago. Together, the teams behind the Imperva Threat Research division are shining a light on the surge in bot-driven attacks — from simple web scrapers to polymorphic, AI-enhanced bad bots capable of account takeovers and API abuse. Telecom Under Attack Among the most targeted sectors? Telecom and ISPs, which now account for more than half of bad bot traffic. Chang explained that this is unsurprising given the critical infrastructure telecom supports and the high volume of customer data flowing through these systems. Key takeaways from the report include: 51% of all internet traffic is now automated. 37% of global traffic comes from bad bots — a 7-point rise in one year. 40% increase in account takeover (ATO) attacks, often using stolen or brute-forced credentials. Telecom ranks as the second-most targeted vertical, just behind financial services. 55% of all telecom traffic is now made up of bad bots. Chang emphasized that these bots are increasingly using AI to evade detection, shifting IP addresses, mimicking human behavior, and attacking not just websites but APIs — which lack visual interfaces and are harder to monitor. 10 Recommendations to Reduce Risk To help organizations defend against this growing threat, Thales provides a set of 10 actionable recommendations, ranging from understanding your attack surface and deploying bot management tools, to tightening MFA usage and adopting a multi-layered defense strategy. Chang also offered a strategic reminder: don't play all your cards at once — adversaries are evolving just as quickly, and a staggered, adaptive defense is critical.

Friend, Chang Report host, and musician Tim Chang joins Kelly and Darek in the studio to wish longtime listeners Colyer and Kevin a happy birthday. This turned out to be a "high energy" episode that somehow covers topics from golf, faulty ignitions, 90s rooftop parties and Cookie Jarvis.

本集主題：「音樂家的點子就是比你快兩拍：跟流行樂天才學商業創新思維」介紹 訪問編輯：郭羽漫 內容簡介： －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ 音樂家發想靈感的過程，在不斷變動的世界裡， 能作為觀察和應對世事的全新架構。 我們身處在這秩序瓦解又無從預測的亂世之中， 更該借鏡流行音樂創作者與製作人的成功經驗， 重新爬梳經商所需的思維和做事方法。 －－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－ 音樂家可能在不知不覺間，就掌握了商業創新的關鍵。「音樂可以教會我們什麼？或者，至少教會音樂家關於商業創新的思維？」伯克利音樂學院（Berklee College of Music）負責全球戰略和創新項目的高級副總裁帕諾斯．班奈（Panos A. Panay），以及美國設計與創新諮詢公司IDEO的全球設計總監麥可．漢萑斯（R. Michael Hendrix），提出了這樣一個問題。因此，他們決定抓出藝術家和企業家共有的特質，開啟對創意萌芽的熱烈討論…… 從未留心的「寂靜之音」，是挖掘新意的第一扇門：冰島音樂精靈碧玉（Björk），從聆聽海浪、飛鳥的自然環境的聲響中，找到簡單清晰又充滿生命力量的旋律。她在冰島遭遇金融危機時，與奧度資本合作開辦創投基金，並以「情感盡職調查」深入瞭解被投資者的情感與價值觀。而富比世最佳創投人榜傑出科技投資人張天民（Tim Chang），也依著這個工具洞悉被投資者的情商，挖掘提案者的膽識、自覺與警訊。 音樂人做demo、科學技術宅做測試版、企業家搞產品原型：電台司令（Radiohead）1997年發行《OK電腦》（OK Computer）大碟，透過任性而為的聲音實驗與嘗試，極具突破性地融合搖滾、交響樂與數位工法，橫掃當年各大專輯榜冠軍。想想第一代iPod那遜斃了的滾輪和首頁鍵到如今螢幕體驗更完整的新款iPhone，還有Square第一代醜到翻天的黑色塑料盒子與最新款小巧讀卡機，你會強烈意識到世上許多有名的科技產品，無時無刻都在疊代測試。 每首歌曲的製作，都是一次跨領域的團隊溝通與磨合：知名製作人漢克．肖克利（Hank Shoklee）與提彭．柏耐特（T Bone Burnett）等人，從他們為數可觀的製作物裡汲取經驗，在一票樂手、歌者與不同合作夥伴間扮演溝通橋樑，點出作品最迷人的風采。企業與品牌大如經營者，小至專案企劃，都需要具備製作人般的跨域溝通能力，這也是創業家史帝夫．史托特（Steve Stoute）受字母控股、二十一世紀福斯公司等企業投資他新創公司的秘密武器。 與群體產生連結，把真正的商品留在幕後：1985年，皇后合唱團（Queen）的主唱佛萊迪．墨裘瑞（Freddie Mercury）在「拯救生命」演唱會上高歌〈波西米亞狂想曲〉（Bohemian Rhapsody），與聽眾的來回對唱的畫面，讓全球十九億觀看這場演出的人為之瘋狂。一句簡單的「欸──喔──」，成了連結世界的引線。商界狂人理查．布蘭森（Richard Branson）更熟諳此道，無論是扮演濃妝豔抹的空姐來宣傳維珍航空公司，還是為了讓自家品牌的可樂露相，開著戰車撞倒可口可樂牆，他總是懂得先引發關注，再來賣他真的想賣的東西。 作者簡介：帕諾斯．巴奈Panos A. Panay 美國伯克利音樂學院（Berklee College of Music）全球策略與創新資深副校長，伯克利創意商學院創辦人，麻省理工聯結科學計畫（MIT Connection Science）研究員。他也創辦了標音公司，一個讓樂團接洽演出機會與自我行銷的線上網站，是業界的領導性平台，此外他也與人共同成立了開放音樂倡議聯盟，率領伯克利、麻省理工、IDEO設計公司與布朗大學進行跨領域合作。巴奈曾入選《快公司》雜誌（Fast Company）五十大人物，《Inc.》雜誌五百大人物，《波士頓環球報》（Boston Globe）顛覆風雲人物，以及許多獎項與榮譽。他曾赴媒體節目與重大場合演講音樂產業的未來，例如CNBC電視台的《財經講談》（Squawk Box）、瑞士達沃斯世界經濟論壇，也在全球各地活動與大專院校擔任主講人。 作者簡介：麥可．亨里克斯R. Michael Hendrix IDEO全球設計主任與合夥人，IDEO是一家設計和創新顧問公司，而亨利克斯經手過的專案從家用品到國土安全都有。因為二十五年傑出的生涯表現，他成為各方爭相邀請的講者，曾經到《快公司》雜誌、《連線》雜誌、美國平面設計協會、Fuse集團、《HOW》雜誌、國際設計管理協會等等單位演講，並曾擔任西南偏南音樂節主講人。他也是伯克利音樂學院的音樂商務管理助理教授，經常赴全球各地專業協會與大專院校擔任客座講師。閒暇時間，他用R． M．亨里克斯的藝名創作與錄製個人音樂作品。 出版社粉絲頁： 積木生活實驗室 #李基銘 #fb新鮮事#生活有意思#快樂玩童軍 #漢聲廣播電台 YouTube頻道，可以收看 https://goo.gl/IQXvzd podcast平台，可以收聽 SoundOn　https://bit.ly/3oXSlmF Spotify　https://spoti.fi/2TXxH7V Apple　https://apple.co/2I7NYVc Google　https://bit.ly/2GykvmH KKBOX　https://bit.ly/2JlI3wC Firstory　https://bit.ly/3lCHDPi 請支持六個粉絲頁 李基銘主持人粉絲頁：https://www.facebook.com/voh.lee 李基銘的影音頻道粉絲頁：https://www.facebook.com/voh.video Fb新鮮事新聞報粉絲頁：https://www.facebook.com/voh.fbnews LIVE直播-fb新鮮事：https://www.facebook.com/live.fbshow 漢聲廣播電台「fb新鮮事」節目粉絲頁：https://www.facebook.com/voh.vhbn 漢聲廣播電台「快樂玩童軍」節目粉絲頁：https://www.facebook.com/voh.scout

Rev. Tim Chang 2 Samuel 6:12-23 Sabbatical Series

Kelly and Darek barrel through a jam-packed double episode, where they live scroll through TikTok, critique two Billie Eilish songs, engage in The Great Cheeseburger vs. Hamburger Debate, and discuss the increased murder potential as a result of automatic garage door openers. Tim Chang absolutely steals the show in his retelling of The Best St. Patrick's Day Story of All Time. Prove us wrong.

Darek and Kelly return from their hiatus, add fuel to the fire surrounding the Great Sticker Debate. Darek tries on some fake grad school eyeglasses Kelly wonders if a leprechaun can fit in a shoe box. Show intro & outro music genius Tim Chang picks up his phone for a chat to discuss Wordle, Heardle, and crime-fighting chipmunks.

Darek and Kelly are back in the studio after Darek's battle with All Things COVID.  A discussion about football leads to a rambling musical journey about favorite parts of songs, and a boycott of just about everything.  Tim Chang's original, shiny and new show theme music will debut next week due to Kelly's technical incompetence under pressure. 

Chuck opens hour two with a look at the college football headlines. Tim Hall of the Buckeye Show on 97.1 The Fan in Columbus joins the show to talk Ohio State Buckeyes. Then, Eddie Radosevich of Sooner Scoop joins up to talk Oklahoma.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Darek and Kelly begin Season 5 and 2022 with a tribute to Betty White.  Michele joins the show to break down Kelly's musical  instrument-induced breakdown. Tim Chang invites listeners to begin using a new catch phrase, and Darek offers movie reviews on mediocre movies, past and present.  

Kelly lost her show topic notebook, so she relies on Darek and Tim Chang to carry the show.  A brief discussion on lip-syncing turns into Kelly revisiting why she dislikes Mariah Carey, and Darek debuts his 1940s radio announcer voice, unaware that his daughter is playing with a hammer in the backyard.   

We'd all like to use our bodies like a Ferrari, but maybe end up treating it like a trash compactor (T-1000 vs. Bender). Solutions are obvious (sleep, diet, etc.), but tracking/accountability always fall short. Personal devices are not new, but desire and ability to understand the power of these tools is evolving, quickly. In this episode we're joined by CEO of Oura, Harpreet Singh Rai, and Tim Chang, Partner at Mayfield Fund, to discuss the growing and improving world of quantified self and digital health.

“I would love to see what part I can play in helping people be healed and whole such that they could be free to find their form of expression utilizing the gifts that are unique to them.” Tim Chang is a partner at Mayfield Fund and a driving force behind many social impact initiatives.  From early on in life Tim has been a very curious person, this has led him not only to learn more about himself but it has led him to impact others around him by living a life of service. Some of the highlights of today's episode are:  How living in an immigrant household mold this upbringing  The impact of empowering and helping others!  How caring less about money helped him in his journey  Morning meditation, music, and acting  His power description of what a flow state feels like Be sure to follow Tim Chang on LinkedIn and Twitter.

It's always been assumed that capitalism creates trauma and that money is the root of all evil but what if we view it like technology? It's not good or bad objectively; it's just a tool. So, then the only root question is, 'What is your energy, what's your intention with which you use these tools?' That's the inner work of looking at yourself and your relationship with money." - Tim Chang   Can business be a force of change for good?   Wellness Force Radio Episode 334 Managing Director and Partner at Mayfield Fund, Tim Chang, shares how money can be used as energy to help humanity, how to stop being afraid of money and start seeing its powerful purpose, and why he focuses on purging himself from his possessions.   Learn why your first job is to get out of scarcity in order to take real radical ownership of your life.   Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE   ---> Get The Morning 21 System: A simple and powerful 21 minute system designed to give you more energy to let go of old weight and live life well.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | *REVIEW THE PODCAST*     CURED Nutrition Get 15% off your CURED Nutrition order with the code WELLNESSFORCE It's taken me over a year to find the right hemp and CBD company to introduce to the Wellness Force Community and I could not be more thrilled that it's CURED Nutrition!

The power of being grateful for what you do have in life and what technology and tools we now have at our disposal.

How he's shifted his focus on life from collecting points to seeing it as an art form.   [14:00] Can Business Be A Force For Good?

How you can do well in this world by doing good acts throughout your lifetime. Shifting your viewpoint on money from it's "good" or "bad" to see it as just a tool. (17:50) Why there is no such thing as a work-life balance because all that you do should be a reflection of who you are at your core.

His mission to figure out how to give others money in the most impactful way, pay it forward, and have it be an evergreen asset. The big awakening he had that our possessions come to possess us and how he’s trying to free himself of that. Why your first job is to first get out of scarcity so that you can find your voice and share it with the world. The increase of interest in co-living communities rather than everyone living on their own to decrease financial burdens. Why we have a fear of money and are afraid to ask for more for the work that we do for the world. The traumatic effects that capitalism has had on society's past and present pursuits for money. (25:50)   [26:10] The Psychological Effects Of Wealth & Money Jordan Peterson Exploring systematic desensitization around wealth and money.

(33:00) How we can get rid of the idea that money is bad and increase society’s literacy in personal finance.

“Beans on Toast… it’s cheap, it’s easy, it’s English, does what it says on the tin.” Jay McAllister, aka Beans on Toast, is a true English folk hero. You’ll find him at a British festival on a Sunday afternoon, belting out his irreverent songs for worn out ravers. From helping Banksy launch sky lanterns, to extolling the virtues of a bamboo toothbrush, Beans is the paradigm of a festive life that makes a difference. On the show we talk about the long chain of folk heroes and how Beans became a political songwriter. We chat about festival favorites from Glastonbury to AfrikaBurn. We discuss what it means to bring a child into a festival lifestyle and run the whole show as a family. We end the podcast with a track from Bean’s new album called “Take Your Shit Home With You,” which was requested by the organizers of Boomtown Fair to combat rampant tent abandonment at the event. You can purchase his new album, “The Inevitable Train Wreck,” all of his prolific catalogue, and his book “Drunk Folk Stories” from his website. Your purchase will be delivered with love from his Mum and Dad who manage the merch. A huge thank you to all my supporters on Patreon! Thanks to your help, I am over halfway to my goal of covering my monthly expenses for this show: Affinity Mingle, Randy Barnowl, Lea Jinks, Nate Levin, Noah Weston, Quayle Hodek, Tim Chang, Troy Dayton.

This is a more personal installment of Life is a Festival. On today’s episode I ask my friend Tim to explain to me how to get a job. Tim Chang is a Managing Partner at Mayfield, a 50 year old venture fund, but he is much more than a typical VC from the Valley. Child of Taiwanese immigrants, Tim is a musician, a burner, and as will become clear in this episode, a philosopher. On the podcast we talk work and external validation, the myth of the starving artist, and Tim’s formula for a beautiful life. We also talk about diversity in the venture capital world and the dodgy business of monetizing psychedelic medicine. Finally, at Tim’s suggestion, today I launched a Patreon for this podcast. If my work is enhancing your life consider slipping a fiver in my digital tip jar or going all the way to full medici and helping me paint this word chapel. Like the podcast, the path to its financial sustainability will be iterative. I would love your feedback about the value this brings in your life and how you’d most like to support its creation.

I spotted my friend Tim Chang, an experienced investor and global executive, at the Consumer Health Summit and took the opportunity to ask the man once called “The Hottest Abs In Silicon Valley” how he stays in a high-performance state. Tim is passionate about syncing technology with wisdom to boost consciousness and fitness across body, mind and spirit. (And from his photo above, you can see he plays bass in a band—multiple bands, in fact.)In this fun, free-wheeling episode of Bulletproof Radio, the hour spins by with solid suggestions about living your best life and tangible takeaways for well-being. We discuss modern culture topic by topic in an engrossing conversation that spans email, messaging apps, time burdens, FOMO, obligation, the Eisenhower Matrix, think time, vulnerability, struggle, time as a luxury, the attention economy, cognitive health, mental bandwidth, haters, social media, slow tech—and much more.It all makes great sense and great listening!Tim’s Quick TakesStrength Training and HIIT: “I just want to get my stuff done and go.”Meditation: “ There's something magic at minute 40 or 45 where your mind just tires itself out of yapping at itself.”Intermittent Fasting: “Essentially, I just skipped breakfast.”Five-day Fasts: “It's the equivalent of a nutritional meditation.”Hipster Spirituality Culture: “They're literally out Instagramming each other.”Meetings: “Just don’t schedule.”Vulnerability: “The ultimate superpower.”Life: “Nobody's crushing it, everyone's a mess.”Tim leads consumer technology investments at Mayfield, focusing on next-gen Commerce & Marketplaces, Communities, Health & Wellness and Digital Media. He has been twice named on the Forbes Midas List of Top 100 venture capitalists and the AlwaysOn Power Players of top investors. He received his MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business, graduating in the top 10% of his class. He also holds an MSEE and BSEE in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan. “I partner with entrepreneurs unleashing the power of communities and networks, using real-time data combined with personal storytelling, to disrupt the worlds of commerce, health and wellness, and also those innovating on new platforms such as messaging, VR/AR, and smart devices,” he explains.

Saying that your company does artificial intelligence might still have a slightly cool ring to it if you're talking to one of your peers at a conference, but it doesn't mean very much to venture capitalists today, who've been battered with machine learning and artificial intelligence in every pitch deck they've seen for the last three or four years. I wondered, from a venture capitalist perspective, what makes an AI company's value proposition actually strong? What is it that makes an AI startup actually seem like a company that maybe could use AI to really win in the market? Not just to be another company that says they're going to do it or says they are doing it, but where can it actually provide enough of that competitive edge to make a VC want to pull the trigger? Getting a grasp of the answer to that question seems pretty critical. This week, we speak with Tim Chang, partner at Mayfield Fund in Menlo Park, California. Chang and I both spoke at the Trans Tech Conference, held every year in Silicon Valley, focused on wellness and health-related technologies. Chang talks about what it is about an AI company's pitch, product, and market that actually makes AI an enhancement to the business in a way that's compelling to someone who wants to invest potentially millions and millions of dollars.

Today’s technology offers all kinds of opportunities. But smart technology has more to offer than just the virtual world.

Nanea and her co-founder Zach Norman have deep backgrounds in gaming, and many many firsts. First mobile games for NokiaFirst mobile game for flip phonesFirst Mobile games for iPod 3 of the first 5 iPhone gamesFirst multi-player mobile gamesIts no surprise Tim Chang from Mayfield Ventures chose to invest in them. Skilled, vetted and experienced. Nanea’s mission at Tripp centers around making Virtual Reality games that are immersive and mood-altering. To ‘Dial up moods.’ Our conversation was wide ranging from what data can tell us about our users, to the shifting landscape of mindfulness in business. In the medical world, there are many regulatory challenges to overcome before a procedure is accepted as medicine. Lots of evidence based research is required. Its an interesting concept, to build tools in the wellness and entertainment markets, where regulatory control is not as embedded. One of the things Nanea mentioned over and over is her desire for what the many Indian religions call Ahimsa, or ‘do no harm.’ Its also a core tenet in many other religions around the globe. Her intention is to build experiences that enhance life, not cause harm. Personally I’m in alignment with this intention. And, I often reflect on what harm, or good means. While there are cultural agreements, its also a relative perspective based on personal experience. The potential power to use these tools for good is tremendous, and the potential power for non-good is also large. I look forward to seeing the breadth of creativity and cultural impact more humans join in to create experiences that align with their values. Could this tool be used as a social and cultural change agent? Will it by definition act as a social and cultural change agent? Is how we interface with our environment also shaping us as individuals and societies? One concept we talked about in our discussion is the interaction and evolution of connectivity and interface. The connectivity, or pipes of connection, for human thought and consciousness are being firmly established even deeper into this planet’s infrastructure with the internet and cellular networks. Paralleling and, iteratively interacting with that communication network are the methods, the ‘ways’ humans are interfacing with both each other, and the dominant software and hardware available. My hunch is these communication and creativity tools are both shaped by humans, and also shape us humans as we interface with them. If this hunch is true, then we are entering a whole other dimension, both literally and materially, in the realms of spatial and embodied computing. How we touch data, how we think, what ideas autonomously surface in the subconscious mind, what programs we are running, our world-views, perceptions of self, other, and society as a whole. I am seriously excited at Nanea’s mission. I also am excited at the splash a $4MM investment in this space makes. In many ways the investment validates the impact VR can have on consciousness and the approaches to digital experiences Nanea and entrepreneurs like her are going to have as they explore these embodied computing realms.
