Peter House just returned from a trip to Chicago. He was there for a "Hacker Mini-Camp," basically a week of presentations and learning. There were two presentations that he thought were relatable to us here in the valley. One was that three hundred North Korean citizens were employed as remote IT workers using only 70 stolen US identities. These workers used their salaries to send back money traced to North Korean weapons programs. A former employee of NSO Group, an Israeli cyber intelligence company, gave a presentation. He talked about how easy it is to steal info from your phone. High-visibility cyber weapons are easier to catch than someone using lower-rated vulnerabilities. Most companies concentrate on the big dangers, not the smaller ones. Individual users should be especially aware of plug-ins for browsers. Check for updates for your operating systems and browsers twice a month. The biggest thing you can do for your internet safety is CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS REGULARLY!
