Automated Machine-Generated Transcript:

Craig Peterson: [00:00:00] Hey, do you have an autopilot on your car? we just got confirmation of another crash with these autopilots, almost deadly. It's amazing. What's happening. So we're going to get into that turns out that study I quoted last week was true.

Hey everybody, Craig Peterson here, and yes, you heard it first on WGAN in the course affiliated stations I talked with Matt a little bit about this week as well. This is a very big deal because what we are looking at in the future are these autonomous cars that can literally drive themselves.

It can take over from the driver and just cruise around. I still remember the first time I saw, Arnold Schwarzenegger in the front of that pickup truck and it just took over and started driving for him. It was just so totally cool in that remake. Anyways. yeah, I didn't like that remake as much anyways, back to it.

These cars are the future. There is absolutely no doubt about that. We can't argue, they, these cars that are going to drive us around are the future. Really? I think the only question about it, I'm not even sure. Did there's much of a question left about this? The only real question seems to be, are we going to own that car or is the car going to own us right now?

Or is it just gonna be like a taxi service where you say, okay, I need to go into the office on Tuesdays? Yeah. 1:00 PM and then come home at 6:00 PM because we're not going to the office every day anymore. Are we? And then a car or just shows up just in time for you. Based on the traffic and the weather and everything else that's going on.

It's going to be a brave new world to quote someone and everything about it is going to change. Even though the vehicles are going to be going probably the speed limit. I think we'll all end up getting there faster and more safely, but that is at some point in the future, that is not. Now right now, the problem we have is that we are not paying attention to the cars.

we came up with this whole thing, this law, our hands-free on the telephone you remember me saying if you've been listening long enough, That, I thought it would actually end up killing more people to say everything has to be hands-free than the opposite because people are going to be hiding their phones.

And what happened? I was right again. Now you heard it here first was some years ago. So actually I wasn't on this station back then, but. It is very true. People are going to do things they shouldn't be doing. Even just yesterday. I saw a guy driving an Amazon truck with his cell phone, up to his ear, talking on it as he was driving, using his left hand on the steering wheel of the truck.

He was driving. So it's going to continue to happen. Ultimately, what we want is like what Arnold Schwarzenegger had in the movie where the, yeah, there is no problem here. It's just all automatic and you might have to drive what's called the last mile or maybe in the parking lot because it's so far has been one of the hardest things for these autonomous vehicles to really deal with it because there are so many visual clues when you're driving in a parking lot.

There are pedestrians. Okay. The car can see the pedestrians probably better than you can see the pedestrians, but you can see that pedestrian, and that pedestrian gives you some ice signals, maybe a little hand signal, a little thinks or just, go ahead. I'll just go behind you here. Cars can't pick up on any of that stuff. So these initial autonomous vehicles are likely to be long haul trucks that's where we're going to start seeing some job losses right away because they're already out there. It's been a couple of years since, one of these autonomous trucks. I think it was a Volvo drive across this very narrow, winding bridge all by itself.

It was just absolutely amazing to see they've done that again and again. So we're now. Looking at this today as very practical. What would happen is that a driver would get drive the truck back it up to the loading dock. People would load it up or maybe computers would load it up then the driver drives through the parking lot and drives outright to the highway.

And maybe they've got a special little lot there by the highway and the driver gets out the truck takes off and it does the long haul along with the IAD or wherever it's going up, the 95, you name it and it gets to the other end. It gets itself safely off the highway and there is a driver waiting there, or driver comes, picks it up, and drives it the last mile as it were.

That's a model, actually, that things were developed here originally with the railways where the railways did the long haul, much more efficient, far fewer emissions then the trucks did the last mile nowadays that its trucks doing it coast to coast so much at the time. What we're seeing right now is people are getting in their cars and what they should be considering to be just simple.

Advanced cruise controls. These people are looking at it as an automatic system. It's synonymous I got to blame the marketers for some of this because so many of these marketers are out there telling people, Hey, yeah, you can. Yeah. It's autonomous you can just sit there. It's got autopilot, just like an airplane, right?

we talked about a study a couple of weeks ago where they placed balloon shaped and sized cars on this demo track. There were two lanes on the road. One of them had this balloon car sitting there in the travel lane then the autonomous vehicle driving down the road, what would it do? Is it going to change lanes?

Is it going to come to a stop? Does it slow down? First of all, it tries to figure things out. No. In most cases, that autonomous vehicle, that autopilot, that self-driving car drove straight into the balloon. Straight into it it wasn't because, Oh, we can pick up a balloon on radar or the mass wasn't heavy enough and had nothing to do with any of that.

Cause that was all compensated for, it. Had to do with the car's making a fundamental mistake that if something's not moving well, it must then be permanent on the road maybe my sensor's wrong. we just have a report right now. It's up on my website and it was put up there. Let's see, I got it from ARS Technica.

So it's a link to their article, but it's talking about a crash that just happened in North Carolina last week, the police there have filed charges, criminal charges against a driver whose Tesla crashed into a police car early in the morning on Wednesday that's from Raleigh's CBS channel 17 television.

The driver apparently admitted to the officers at the scene that he had activated the quote autopilot unquote technology on his Tesla model ass. I was watching a movie on his phone at the time of the crash apparently what happened is there was a Nash County, deputy, and a North Carolina state trooper who were on the side of the road and they were responding to a crash when the Tesla slammed right into the sheriff deputies cruiser.

And that impact sent the deputy's cruiser into the trooper's vehicle, which pushed the trooper and the deputy to the ground. Nobody was seriously injured. Now, in this case, the driver was charged with a violation of the state's move over law, which most States have now. With having a television in the car.

So it's really important to remember that there is no car on the market today that is actually self-driving. If you have one of these, you need to pay attention to the road at all times, regardless of what kind of car you have or what kind of driver-assist technology the car has. We've seen it just in, Right up here in the Northeast, in Connecticut and Massachusetts last December, we saw similar accidents with Tesla vehicles crashing into police cars.

They've also, by the way, been known to crash into firetrucks. It's scary. All right. Stick around everybody. When we come back, we've got a question about China. Are they those greatest cyber power stick around? Cause I'll be right back here on WGAN and make sure you tune in on Wednesday mornings.

I'm on with Mr. Matt. Gagnon at seven 3. Stick around. We'll be right back.

Automated Machine-Generated Transcript:

Okay. I've got a couple of sites I want you to visit. We'll be telling you about those. These have to do with your own cybersecurity and also your business is cybersecurity. We're going to get in also right now into China. Are they the world's greatest cyber power?

Hey everybody. Thanks for joining me today. This is Craig Peterson here on WGAN appreciate you being here with me. Of course. You can also find me online. Craig peterson.com got a whole new website a brew'in. We're almost done. It's amazing how long some of the stuff takes, right? Yeah. I have a real job too. Securing businesses.

So anyhow, you'll be seeing that coming up here pretty soon. If you miss this early, I'm going to give out a couple of URLs here in just a second I want you guys to write these down because these are websites that not only do I want you to visit, I want you to make sure your coworkers visit them, particularly if they're working from home.

These are also sites that I think you as an individual. Should visit. They're absolutely phenomenal. So the first one I talk about fairly frequently, I want you guys to visit right now is Have I Been Poned.com? Have I been poned and PWNED is spelled- P W N E D. Dotcom. So you're going to go there and you're going to type in your email address.

I'm going to do it right now. So I'm going to say me at Mainstream, Mainstream is my company. [email protected]. Me at Craig Peterson.com and let's see, guess what? No pwnage found. So let me use my Email address that I've had for 30 years, [email protected] let's see. Okay. have I been poned again?

Have I been pwned? P W N E D. So it's showing me that email address was found on thirteen breached sites and on one paste site, websites that are used to upload big files and share them. Okay. Basically.

So it's saying eight tracks, plus I remember them, I didn't know they were still around. So it tells you about it. It says in June 2017, the online playlist service suffered a data breach that impacted eighteen million accounts. So it turned out it was an employee get hub account, not secured using two-factor authentication. Again, everybody, use two-factor authentication. It had a salted one password hash, let's see Apollo.

This was a sales engagement startup that I signed up for a big collection almost. It was three-quarters of a billion records. It's called collection number one. This was for credential stuffing.

So what credential stuffing is when the bad guys have your email address, they have one or more passwords that you have used on a website and they were able to steal of them.

Then what they do is they start pushing all of that data to another website. So they'll go to Bank of America or some other site, and they'll try your email address with every. Password they have for you. So that's password stuffing. So that's what that one is. So it says it had my email address and some passwords, and of course, I changed them frequently and I use a different password on every website, et cetera.

Another one here called Cove. This was February this year. Absolutely massive. This was personal information provided to him after being found left, exposed on a publicly facing elastic search server. So again, here is an example of a problem with the people who have, they don't even know, and that is a misconfigured cloud service or system.

That's what it was. it turns out it was originally from the Cove contacts app V E. It had email addresses, job titles, names, phone numbers, physical addresses, social media profiles. Lovely. This is all my data, And that's why I want you to have a look for yours, data enrichment, and exposer exposure from PDL customers.

A couple of people unprotected another elastic search server holding 1.2 billion records of personal data. So apparently my, at least my email address was in there and that had email addresses, employers geocode, job pedals, name, phone number, social media profiles, drop out box back in mid-2012. How's a, you Z, Z.

That's a housing design or website, let's see, lead Hunter people tracking me online. That's part of what we have talked about tracking 110 million Rose again, another elastic search server. Onliners spam bot. Yeah, let's see here. 711 million records, river city media spam list in January 2017.

The massive trove of data. 1.4 billion records, email addresses, IP names, physical addresses. Isn't that? Something the trick spam botnet gene. I had a bunch of button heads. No wonder I had a, I get so much spam, right? Yeah. I've had the same email address for almost 30 years. so this is June 2018 43 million people.

Dot IO. This is an email address, validation service, and a 763 million unique email addresses stored in a model. Go DB instance again. Misconfigured stuff. So yeah, you gotta be very careful. So that was me. All right. That was my Cray. Get mainstream.net email address that I've had for years because it's so heavily spammed, I just don't pay that much attention to it anymore.

And at least my Me at Craig Peterson hasn't shown up anywhere yet. So that's site number one, site. Number two. This is, are a gift from our friends at Google this is a fishing quiz. Now, this is phishing with a pH and it is very good. I think you will like this a lot. This is something that you need to make sure that your friends, your neighbors, everybody.

Who you have contact with, goes to this site. Okay. very important. It's part of the jigsaw project over from our friends at Google. So here is the URL guys - Ready? Get your pencil out or type it in it's called fishing quiz. P H I S H I N G Q U I Z. Fishing quiz dot with Google. Dotcom. So there are three words.

The first one is phishing quiz with a pH dot with google.com. You can take the quiz. They're just going to ask you for a fake name and email address that it's going to use. You can use a real one if you want, but it's going to use to try and mess you up. A very good thing for people to do. You absolutely have to make sure that you.

You go online and take this quiz and have your friends take this quiz. So there you go. Two sites to check out right away. Have I been postponed and the phishing quiz with Google, both the, both a website chat to visit them right away, important stuff. All right. When we come back. Okay. I promise we'll finally get into China here.

we've got a new iOS, four privacy setting. That's really good. Going to hurt a lot of ad targeting businesses. Facebook is pushing back, does not want Apple to keep your information safe. I keep saying, use WebEx, excuse WebEx teams. Don't you use any of these others that are out there?

Yeah. Now, KPMG, you might be familiar with these guys, KPMG, right? International, a very big company, lots of employees have careers covering a lot of industries that do a lot of research and consulting work. Yeah. they were using Microsoft teams totally messed up.

Now, the KPMG was not doing for themselves. What I do for our cloud customers that are using Microsoft tools, including their email office three 65 now called Microsoft three 65 that is that KPMG trusted Microsoft. We don't, we try not to trust anybody we were, we back up all of the stuff that Microsoft holds for our customers, just in case highly encrypted too, by the way, KPMG did not.

And they lost 150,000 of their employees, personal chats, Microsoft teams, the way to go guys, stick around Craig Peterson here. We'll be wrapping up in just a minute.

Automated Machine-Generated Transcript:

Okay. I've got a couple of sites I want you to visit. We'll be telling you about those. These have to do with your own cybersecurity and also your business is cybersecurity. We're going to get in also right now into China. Are they the world's greatest cyber power?

Hey everybody. Thanks for joining me today. This is Craig Peterson here on WGAN appreciate you being here with me. Of course. You can also find me online. Craig peterson.com got a whole new website a brew'in. We're almost done. It's amazing how long some of the stuff takes, right? Yeah. I have a real job too. Securing businesses.

So anyhow, you'll be seeing that coming up here pretty soon. If you miss this early, I'm going to give out a couple of URLs here in just a second I want you guys to write these down because these are websites that not only do I want you to visit, I want you to make sure your coworkers visit them, particularly if they're working from home.

These are also sites that I think you as an individual. Should visit. They're absolutely phenomenal. So the first one I talk about fairly frequently, I want you guys to visit right now is Have I Been Poned.com? Have I been poned and PWNED is spelled- P W N E D. Dotcom. So you're going to go there and you're going to type in your email address.

I'm going to do it right now. So I'm going to say me at Mainstream,  Mainstream is my company. [email protected]. Me at Craig Peterson.com and let's see, guess what? No pwnage found. So let me use my Email address that I've had for 30 years, [email protected] let's see. Okay. have I been poned again?

Have I been pwned? P W N E D. So it's showing me that email address was found on thirteen breached sites and on one paste site, websites that are used to upload big files and share them. Okay. Basically.

So it's saying eight tracks, plus I remember them, I didn't know they were still around. So it tells you about it. It says in June 2017, the online playlist service suffered a data breach that impacted eighteen million accounts. So it turned out it was an employee get hub account, not secured using two-factor authentication. Again, everybody, use two-factor authentication. It had a salted one password hash, let's see Apollo.

This was a sales engagement startup that I signed up for a big collection almost. It was three-quarters of a billion records. It's called collection number one. This was for credential stuffing.

So what credential stuffing is when the bad guys have your email address, they have one or more passwords that you have used on a website and they were able to steal of them.

Then what they do is they start pushing all of that data to another website. So they'll go to Bank of America or some other site, and they'll try your email address with every. Password they have for you. So that's password stuffing. So that's what that one is. So it says it had my email address and some passwords, and of course, I changed them frequently and I use a different password on every website, et cetera.

Another one here called Cove. This was February this year. Absolutely massive. This was personal information provided to him after being found left, exposed on a publicly facing elastic search server. So again, here is an example of a problem with the people who have, they don't even know, and that is a misconfigured cloud service or system.

That's what it was. it turns out it was originally from the Cove contacts app V E. It had email addresses, job titles, names, phone numbers, physical addresses, social media profiles. Lovely. This is all my data, And that's why I want you to have a look for yours, data enrichment, and exposer exposure from PDL customers.

A couple of people unprotected another elastic search server holding 1.2 billion records of personal data. So apparently my, at least my email address was in there and that had email addresses, employers geocode, job pedals, name, phone number, social media profiles, drop out box back in mid-2012. How's a, you Z, Z.

That's a housing design or website, let's see, lead Hunter people tracking me online. That's part of what we have talked about tracking 110 million Rose again, another elastic search server. Onliners spam bot. Yeah, let's see here. 711 million records, river city media spam list in January 2017.

The massive trove of data. 1.4 billion records, email addresses, IP names, physical addresses. Isn't that? Something the trick spam botnet gene. I had a bunch of button heads. No wonder I had a, I get so much spam, right? Yeah. I've had the same email address for almost 30 years. so this is June 2018 43 million people.

Dot IO. This is an email address, validation service, and a 763 million unique email addresses stored in a model. Go DB instance again. Misconfigured stuff. So yeah, you gotta be very careful. So that was me. All right. That was my Cray. Get mainstream.net email address that I've had for years because it's so heavily spammed, I just don't pay that much attention to it anymore.

And at least my Me at Craig Peterson hasn't shown up anywhere yet. So that's site number one, site. Number two. This is, are a gift from our friends at Google this is a fishing quiz. Now, this is phishing with a pH and it is very good. I think you will like this a lot. This is something that you need to make sure that your friends, your neighbors, everybody.

Yeah. Now, KPMG, you might be familiar with these guys, KPMG, right? International, a very big company, lots of employees have careers covering a lot of industries that do a lot of research and consulting work. Yeah. they were using Microsoft teams totally messed up.

Automated Machine-Generated Transcript:

All of the branches of our military now have cyber office operations, defensive as well as offensive. is China now the world's greatest cyber power. That's what we're going to address right now. Here we go. You're listening to Craig Peter, either on terrestrial radio. Yes, indeed. WGAN or online @craigpeterson.com.

I appreciate you being with me. I have had a lot of people asking questions lately and I love it. I use it to help build. Not only this radio show and some of the topics we discuss and some of the pieces of training that we do, of course, that's offline, but I try and do a little bit here to help you guys understand things a little bit better, but I also respond to those emails and all, ultimately some of them end up in the weekly newsletter with the question and then my response to it.

I've even some cases recorded a little video explaining things, and you can find all of that in my newsletter, make sure you get that every week. Craig Peterson.com/subscribe. It's important that you do that, cause it's the only way you can find out about all of these things that I'm doing. believe me, I'm not one to harass you guys, as I just mentioned this last time around I've gotta be the worst marketer in the world. Cause I'm not trying to push anything down anybody's throat I never really have either. So we got to cyber problems and we know that the Russians have tried to interfere here in the US forever. We know. we have been interfering in other countries elections as well as in some of their industries looked at what happened within Iran with their, nuclear power industry.

That probably was more along the lines of a, yeah. Bomb-making thing. But anyway, we've been doing this for a very long time, and we also know that China has been as well. because China has one central unified government. because that government is highly socialist, they're trying to be communist.

No, one's actually reached pure communism though. A Lennon communism. Oh yeah. It's, it's crazy. They've only killed tens of millions of people. It's not a very big deal, but, China has very little incentive for people to. Create to innovate, just stick their necks out because when you do, you are beaten down.

So in a socialist government, like what they have right now in China or in Venezuela or in Cuba, much of what they have also down in Brazil. How do you end up innovating? How can you innovate when people stick their heads up and they get chopped off, that seems to me anyway, to be a little bit of a disincentive for innovation.

in fact, it's a pretty big disincentive for innovation. So what China has been doing is. Developing their cyber intelligence capabilities. they've been working on these very long and very hard. they're trying to come up with the ability to just steal the technology. I know people where that's happened.

I know a guy. Who knows a guy who knows a guy? No, I, I know a guy, his name's Mike and he designed a system that would manage a certain part of an entire building. he had it all put together, all planned out, everything, all done. He's an electrical engineer, just absolutely phenomenal. it was stolen by the Chinese and, his product is now available for sale in the United States.

. he doesn't get a dime for any of those thousands of hours he put into the design but also think about all of the hours as an electrical engineer or everything else he was doing. So that's how socialist governments have to survive. they push everybody down. So everyone's on the same level, which is basically poverty.

then they have to steal innovations from other countries. So let's use it as an example right now. The whole drug situation, how expensive pharmaceuticals are in the US, and yeah, some of the margins on these pharmaceuticals are crazy-ass, right? with all of these crazy high prices, including high prices, for some pharmaceuticals that are absolutely necessary for life.

I'm a beekeeper and I would have an epi-pen handy in case we have a guest over or something happens to them. It gets stung and I could use it to help them out. I do have a few things where I got the Benadryl, I got this little heat thing, I've got a suction thing, that would be really nice little epi-pen, but they are incredibly expensive.

How do you deal with that? we know now that about. Where I know in Canada, in many of the European countries, they pay half as much for the same pharmaceuticals that we have in the US. Now most of these pharmaceuticals, almost all of them were invented in the US almost all of them are made in China, frankly, and shipped from China all over the world.

So what are we doing? How do we deal with this stuff? It's a very good question. what has happened now is the Trump administration has said, Hey, we will not in the US pay more for pharmaceuticals than any other country in the world. Just boil it down so he's trying to squeeze it from that side.

Now, if they don't have the incentive to make a drug. They're not going to make it. If the incentive is we're going to make a lot of money off of this drug, I don't see a problem with that incentive, frankly. And if they do come up with a drug that works great as it is, we've already seen the pharmaceutical companies dropping their development of all kinds of drugs, because they look at it and say, it's just not going to be profitable enough.

A legitimate concern. then people say, maybe we should have the government do this and invest in this sort of stuff. my opinion on that, right? the government is terrible about picking winners, whether it's in the solar cells, batteries just go on and on you just name it. the government's been bad at it in Canada.

They just, this last, over the last few weeks, but just finished the last one last week, they have ordered. Vaccinations for the Wuhan virus from four different companies. they've ordered hundreds of millions of doses. Now, remember Canada has what? 33 million people. It's a 10th of the population of the US that's a lot of doses because they're trying to cover their bases up there.

hopefully one of them will work and maybe there'll be like an old for world work. So that's what you have to do. we have seen China actively attacking. Small US companies. like ultra-small 10 person companies, they are attacking to steal intellect real property. with this friend of mine, it's just him.

It was a one-person company that they were attacking to steal his intellectual property. That is a very sad thing. I see this in our bigger customers when you're in a 100 to 250 employee range, you are a man age, your target, and you're still too small to be able to afford, to do security operations that need to be done.

If you're in the hundred. really, if you're under 250 people, 300 is fair to people is the industry standard. If you're under 300 people, then you cannot do security operations yourself. You have to outsource it to a company like mine that has these $300,000 a year employees. That knows what they're doing and can track it and using some of the best hardware and software and everything else out there.

Because you can not afford it with 300 employees. You get beyond that and okay. Yeah. Maybe you can to a degree, but then you have to build your team and everything. So it's so much better to outsource for almost every company out there. when we come in, we almost always find lately anyways, a Chinese backdoor, or more than one.

So that's what they're doing. They are hacking us, the US Russia is real. Some of these European countries all have pretty high-end cyber-espionage capabilities and also hacking abilities. But there's one firm out there right now. That's arguing that because China has had to be so aggressive in order for its economy to thrive when it comes to stealing information from other countries, from other people that perhaps that has made China the world's greatest cyber power.

A very big deal and a very good question to ask you is that actually the case I tend to think it is. I really do just seeing how much they permeated everything and looking at my daily FBI reports I get that are showing. Multiple, sometimes daily hacks by the Chinese, these Chinese cyber attackers are going to continue to Excel, spanned the targets to going after.

yeah, it's not just the big companies anymore. In fact, the really big companies, the fortune 100, you get up into the North of a thousand employees. you should have very strong cybersecurity. Team with a chief cybersecurity information officer, et cetera, all the way on down, you should be having drills every quarter.

What do we do? that includes your PR people, your attorneys, everybody. Okay. you should be doing all of that. So those companies that a thousand employees plus are pretty well protected. so the Chinese and these hackers, as I mentioned, this Russian hacker in the show who was trying to really cause some serious harm to Tesla to get them to pay a ransom.

He wasn't backed, I don't think anyways by the Russian government, but the only way in for him was to turn somebody. Internally who had access to the systems? So we have to be very careful. One of the largest wealth transfers in human history happened with the Equifax hack because now information personal information is more valuable than gold.

It is a very big deal. when it comes to China, your intellectual property is worth more than gold. the FBI now has placed the blame on China for that 2017 hack of Equifax. if Equifax had kept their patches up to date and it would not have been able to use that vulnerability, which was six to eight months old at the time China used it to break into Equifax, stole the personal data on 150 million.

Americans and half of the 5,000 counterintelligence investigations currently being conducted in the US are related to China. some of those are through yours. Truly. Then, we have found in small businesses here in the US. Hey everybody has a great weekend. Make sure you are on my newsletter. So you get all of this and more.

Get free training and get my free papers. now I even have a book coming up here. Craig Peterson.com/subscribe. join me on Wednesday morning with Mr. Matt Gagnon at seven 30. Take care, everybody. Bye-bye.

All of the branches of our military now have cyber office operations, defensive as well as offensive. is China now the world's greatest cyber power. That's what we're going to address right now. Here we go. You're listening to Craig Peter, either on terrestrial radio. Yes, indeed. WGAN or online @craigpeterson.com.

I appreciate you being with me. I have had a lot of people asking questions lately and I love it. I use it to help build. Not only this radio show and some of the topics we discuss and some of the pieces of training that we do, of course, that's offline, but I try and do a little bit here to help you guys understand things a little bit better, but I also respond to those emails and all, ultimately some of them end up in the weekly newsletter with the question and then my response to it.

 I've even some cases recorded a little video explaining things, and you can find all of that in my newsletter, make sure you get that every week. Craig Peterson.com/subscribe. It's important that you do that, cause it's the only way you can find out about all of these things that I'm doing.  believe me, I'm not one to harass you guys, as I just mentioned this last time around I've gotta be the worst marketer in the world. Cause I'm not trying to push anything down anybody's throat  I never really have either. So we got to cyber problems and we know that the Russians have tried to interfere here in the US forever. We know. we have been interfering in other countries elections as well as in some of their industries looked at what happened within Iran with their, nuclear power industry.

That probably was more along the lines of a, yeah. Bomb-making thing. But anyway, we've been doing this for a very long time, and we also know that China has been as well.  because China has one central unified government.  because that government is highly socialist, they're trying to be communist.

No, one's actually reached pure communism though. A Lennon communism. Oh yeah. It's, it's crazy. They've only killed tens of millions of people. It's not a very big deal, but, China has very little incentive for people to. Create to innovate, just stick their necks out because when you do, you are beaten down.

So in a socialist government, like what they have right now in China or in Venezuela or in Cuba, much of what they have also down in Brazil. How do you end up innovating? How can you innovate when people stick their heads up and they get chopped off, that seems to me anyway, to be a little bit of a disincentive for innovation.

 in fact, it's a pretty big disincentive for innovation. So what China has been doing is. Developing their cyber intelligence capabilities.  they've been working on these very long and very hard.  they're trying to come up with the ability to just steal the technology.  I know people where that's happened.

I know a guy. Who knows a guy who knows a guy? No, I, I know a guy, his name's Mike and he designed a system that would manage a certain part of an entire building.  he had it all put together, all planned out, everything, all done. He's an electrical engineer, just absolutely phenomenal.  it was stolen by the Chinese and, his product is now available for sale in the United States.

. he doesn't get a dime for any of those thousands of hours he put into the design but also think about all of the hours as an electrical engineer or everything else he was doing. So that's how socialist governments have to survive. they push everybody down. So everyone's on the same level, which is basically poverty.

 then they have to steal innovations from other countries. So let's use it as an example right now. The whole drug situation, how expensive pharmaceuticals are in the US, and yeah, some of the margins on these pharmaceuticals are crazy-ass, right?  with all of these crazy high prices, including high prices, for some pharmaceuticals that are absolutely necessary for life.

I'm a beekeeper and I would have an epi-pen handy in case we have a guest over or something happens to them. It gets stung and I could use it to help them out.  I do have a few things where I got the Benadryl, I got this little heat thing, I've got a suction thing, that would be really nice little epi-pen, but they are incredibly expensive.

How do you deal with that? we know now that about. Where I know in Canada, in many of the European countries, they pay half as much for the same pharmaceuticals that we have in the US. Now most of these pharmaceuticals, almost all of them were invented in the US almost all of them are made in China, frankly, and shipped from China all over the world.

So what are we doing? How do we deal with this stuff? It's a very good question.  what has happened now is the Trump administration has said, Hey, we will not in the US pay more for pharmaceuticals than any other country in the world. Just boil it down so he's trying to squeeze it from that side.

Now, if they don't have the incentive to make a drug. They're not going to make it. If the incentive is we're going to make a lot of money off of this drug, I don't see a problem with that incentive, frankly. And if they do come up with a drug that works great as it is, we've already seen the pharmaceutical companies dropping their development of all kinds of drugs, because they look at it and say, it's just not going to be profitable enough.

A legitimate concern.  then people say, maybe we should have the government do this and invest in this sort of stuff.  my opinion on that, right? the government is terrible about picking winners, whether it's in the solar cells, batteries just go on and on you just name it.  the government's been bad at it in Canada.

They just, this last, over the last few weeks, but just finished the last one last week, they have ordered. Vaccinations for the Wuhan virus from four different companies.  they've ordered hundreds of millions of doses. Now, remember Canada has what? 33 million people. It's a 10th of the population of the US that's a lot of doses because they're trying to cover their bases up there.

 hopefully one of them will work and maybe there'll be like an old for world work. So that's what you have to do.  we have seen China actively attacking. Small US companies. like ultra-small 10 person companies, they are attacking to steal intellect real property.  with this friend of mine, it's just him.

It was a one-person company that they were attacking to steal his intellectual property. That is a very sad thing.  I see this in our bigger customers when you're in a 100 to 250 employee range, you are a man age, your target, and you're still too small to be able to afford, to do security operations that need to be done.

If you're in the hundred. really, if you're under 250 people, 300 is fair to people is the industry standard. If you're under 300 people, then you cannot do security operations yourself. You have to outsource it to a company like mine that has these $300,000 a year employees. That knows what they're doing and can track it and using some of the best hardware and software and everything else out there.

Because you can not afford it with 300 employees. You get beyond that and okay. Yeah. Maybe you can to a degree, but then you have to build your team and everything. So it's so much better to outsource for almost every company out there.  when we come in, we almost always find lately anyways, a Chinese backdoor, or more than one.

So that's what they're doing. They are hacking us, the US Russia is real. Some of these European countries all have pretty high-end cyber-espionage capabilities and also hacking abilities. But there's one firm out there right now. That's arguing that because China has had to be so aggressive in order for its economy to thrive when it comes to stealing information from other countries, from other people that perhaps that has made China the world's greatest cyber power.

A very big deal and a very good question to ask you is that actually the case I tend to think it is. I really do just seeing how much they permeated everything and looking at my daily FBI reports I get that are showing. Multiple, sometimes daily hacks by the Chinese, these Chinese cyber attackers are going to continue to Excel, spanned the targets to going after.

 yeah, it's not just the big companies anymore. In fact, the really big companies, the fortune 100, you get up into the North of a thousand employees. you should have very strong cybersecurity. Team with a chief cybersecurity information officer, et cetera, all the way on down, you should be having drills every quarter.

What do we do?  that includes your PR people, your attorneys, everybody. Okay. you should be doing all of that. So those companies that a thousand employees plus are pretty well protected.  so the Chinese and these hackers, as I mentioned, this Russian hacker in the show who was trying to really cause some serious harm to Tesla to get them to pay a ransom.

He wasn't backed, I don't think anyways by the Russian government, but the only way in for him was to turn somebody. Internally who had access to the systems? So we have to be very careful. One of the largest wealth transfers in human history happened with the Equifax hack because now information personal information is more valuable than gold.

It is a very big deal.  when it comes to China, your intellectual property is worth more than gold.  the FBI now has placed the blame on China for that 2017 hack of Equifax.  if Equifax had kept their patches up to date and it would not have been able to use that vulnerability, which was six to eight months old at the time China used it to break into Equifax, stole the personal data on 150 million.

Americans and half of the 5,000 counterintelligence investigations currently being conducted in the US are related to China.  some of those are through yours. Truly. Then, we have found in small businesses here in the US. Hey everybody has a great weekend. Make sure you are on my newsletter. So you get all of this and more.

Get free training and get my free papers.  now I even have a book coming up here. Craig Peterson.com/subscribe.  join me on Wednesday morning with Mr. Matt Gagnon at seven 30. Take care, everybody. Bye-bye.

Good morning everybody!

I was on with Matt this morning and we started out with a question from a listener about Updates. Then we discussed autonomous, self-driving cars and what they really are. Then we discussed one of Elon Musks' projects that when it comes to fruition is going to help a lot of people. Let's get into my conversation with Matt on WGAN.

Automated Machine Generated Transcript:

Craig Peterson: Left it right there in the lane. So it was a two-lane road. This balloon car was sitting there and in the slow lane. Almost all of those cars that were supposedly auto driving, rear-ended it.

[00:00:14] Morning. Craig Peterson here, if you are someone who uses windows and you've been wondering whether or not you should do those updates well we had that question this morning on WG A N when we talked about that. We also had a little chance to talk about a couple of different Elon Musk issues. So here we go with Mr. Matt, Gagnon.

[00:00:38] Matt Gagnon: Seven 36 WGAN morning news. Craig Peterson joining us now, Craig, how are you this morning, sir?

[00:00:44] Craig Peterson: Hey, good morning. A new little intro there professionally.

[00:00:49] Matt Gagnon: We like Mr. Voice to give us a new option sometimes. So it's good to have a good to have you on the program and good to have you announced properly.

[00:00:56] Craig, I actually have a pretty decent, at least the listener question to kick off things with you here. If you don't mind, I will warn you in advance. However, it is about windows 10.

[00:01:06] Craig Peterson: The answer is 42.

[00:01:09] Matt Gagnon: Oh, very nice. Yeah, that's a good reference. so the question that came into me this morning, and this is from a listener, Phillip, when windows 10 version 2004, that's the May 2020 updates. first came out. He tried to download it, but it was not a successful download.

[00:01:24] He then heard a whole bunch about bugs and a bunch of problems with this version and whatever. But now that it's been out for a few months, he wants to know whether or not it is good to download this, or whether or not he should wait longer.

[00:01:37] Craig Peterson: It's such a great question. It's always a problem you have with Windows

[00:01:41] Matt Gagnon: no, here it comes, here it comes.

[00:01:44] Craig Peterson: Yeah.

[00:01:45] Matt Gagnon: Throw out your Windows machine by a Mac, right

[00:01:48] Craig Peterson: Updates break badly or Mac, or maybe you could go to Linux or something, but the updates can break badly. So it's a really good question. It was terrible, the May update. The answer is right now, I would absolutely try to update.

[00:02:01]Before you update any time, any computer, even a Mac if you can believe that, man, make sure you have a good backup of the computer.

[00:02:11] Now, Windows has a new feature, that's been in there for a little while that allows you to hook up, a little external hard disk. You can just buy them anywhere, a little USB desk, and it'll go ahead and back up to that. You've got to configure it. Don't just plug in the disc and think everything's going to be wonderful. Unless you're using a Mac, in which case they said, do you want me to use this for backup? You say yes. Windows needs a little more configuration. Just in case the worst goes before you do that 10 May 2020 date, make sure you've got a very good backup. It's definitely time to do that update if you haven't done it already.

[00:02:46] Matt Gagnon: We're talking to Craig Peterson, our tech guru. He joins us on Wednesdays at this time to go over what's happening in the world of technology. Speaking of interesting hardware, uplinks, the Neuralink. Elon Musk is out there talking about this an awful lot and apparently according to him, and of course he is a bit of a carnival barker in some ways, but you never know, could actually be true. He does say now that the neuralink is close to being ready for human testing. What is this all about, sir?

[00:03:14]Craig Peterson: He may be a pig farmer too. I don't know if you saw him on stage just last week.

[00:03:19] Matt Gagnon: But he's also very rich.

[00:03:22] Craig Peterson: He is. He had three pigs out there on stage last week and they have been using this neuralink implant in them.

[00:03:31] What it is. It's a device it's about the size around of a quarter and has a much. Thicker presence. and it was about a thousand wires in it that gets implanted in the skull. And apparently it can be done without general anesthesia. You just do a local and now you've got all of these probes in the brain and a lot of people are thinking, Oh my gosh, he's going to be able to read our brains, et cetera.

[00:04:01] Matt Gagnon: Yeah. This is definitely a science fiction movie waiting to happen.

[00:04:03] Craig Peterson: Big time. We've already had a few about this one. And what are you able to demonstrate with these pigs is at least one of them, who was a little shy coming on stage, never work with animals. Finally came out this neuralink had been monitoring the signals of the brain that it could see.

[00:04:21] Now, remember, the brain is chemical and electrical. The only thing that neuralink can pick up is electrical signals. It can only pick them up right there next to it. It can't go pick them up all the way across the brain. But what they were able to do is read that pig's movement of a leg. So it could see in the brain that the pig was moving the leg and a little bit more than that, but not much more than that.

[00:04:49] You might be asking, why? Does Skynet need this now?

[00:04:57] Matt Gagnon: Yes. I actually am asking that.

[00:05:00] Here's why think of all of these people who are locked in, quadriplegics, and worse people like one of the smartest minds that has ever lived Stephen Hawking. Now he, of course, had a little bit of a moment. He could be, he could move a little bit in his mouth and he used that to help interface him.

[00:05:20] Craig Peterson: But ultimately where this could be heading and what he's aiming for is to make it so that not so that we can just think of a question and get an instant answer. Google, if you will go out and searches the whole internet, but the ability for people who have a leg that doesn't work anymore, paraplegic, quadriplegic, people that are locked in. hen be able to interface with the outside world and maybe even walk again in some cases. So what we're so early on and all of this. I mentioned this before, but it brought a tear to my eye when I realized what was really going on here, that this is fantastic.

[00:06:04] Matt Gagnon: We're speaking with Craig Peterson. You hear him on this very radio station on Saturday at one o'clock, his show goes into all these issues and more in greater depth.

[00:06:13] Craig, the conversations we've had over the preceding, actually a couple of years, frankly, that you've been joining us, about auto-driving cars, is always interesting to me because I am firmly of the opinion that this is what my kids are going to be doing or I guess maybe at least my grandkids are going to be doing, in the next few decades. They're not even going to drive their cars anymore. There still are some things to iron out for problems though. There was apparently, a Tesla that had his autopilot on that hit a cop car and the driver was watching a movie at the time, which is exactly what's going to happen when everybody has an auto-driving car.

[00:06:48] Tell me more about the story.

[00:06:50]Craig Peterson: We've got to remember that there are very few auto-driving cars. If you have a Tesla, there's this misnomer about the auto-driving feature, right? Autonomous, it's really just fancy cruise control. That's all it is. You still have to have your hands on the wheels, you still have to be paying attention.

[00:07:09]A couple of weeks ago, I talked about this on the show, in fact, on Saturday at 1:00 PM and at the same stations. I talked about this on the show where we delved into it some more and. What they did is they put a car on the road. It was actually a balloon in the shape of a car.

[00:07:26] It was reflective to these sensors in these soldiers, all the tournament systems. And they left it right there in the lane. It was a two-lane road. This balloon car was sitting there in the slow lane and almost all of those cars that were supposedly auto-driving rear-ended it. We've seen this before, where these autopilots, if you will, cars rear end, even firetrucks. If you can imagine that. The reason for it is they make a basic assumption that's wrong. That is if something is not moving if it doesn't detect it moving, it makes the assumption of, my sensor must not be quite right. It's gotta be off the road to the side, like a sign or something and it doesn't even bother slowing down. Matt. This is just another example of, in fact, the truth of this study this is happening in the real world. If you have one of these, whether it's the Cadillac system that works very well or a Tesla. All you can think about really is that it's just stuff, fancy cruise control, pay attention.

[00:08:39] In this case, There was a Nash County, deputy, and a trooper with a highway patrol. We went on this side of the road, responding to a previous crash when this Tesla and right into the deputies cruiser. The good news is that everybody was okay. The deputy was thrown to the ground and the trooper, as well, as her car kind of pushed them over the side of the road. So it all worked out. Okay.

[00:09:06]Remember that, okay. these cars really are not fully self-driving

[00:09:11] Matt Gagnon: Craig Peterson. You hear him on Saturdays on this very station for a more in-depth. Look at all of these issues. Craig, we appreciate it as always. Thanks for joining us as you do typically do on Wednesdays and we'll talk to you again next week, sir.

[00:09:23] Craig Peterson: All right. Take care, Matt.

[00:09:24] Matt Gagnon: Thanks a lot. Alright, coming up next.

[00:09:26] Craig Peterson: Is me. Hey everybody, thanks for listening this morning or this afternoon or this evening, whenever you listen to it. I like this morning, it just has a nice ring to it. A great little phrase.

[00:09:36] So on Saturday we will be back and we are finishing up some of the changes you'll be seeing here about mid-month. And so that's the only couple of weeks away. I can't believe its September. Have a great rest of the week. We'll be back on Saturday. Take care, everybody. Bye-bye.
