“Taylor Swift fans mesmerized by rehearsal clips on a kiosk at her May 18th Rose Bowl show were unaware of one crucial detail: A facial-recognition camera inside the display was taking their photos. The images were being transferred to a Nashville “command post,” where they were cross-referenced with a database of hundreds of the pop star’s known stalkers”
“No such luck with the iPhone X, though. Apple’s investment in its tech – which saw the company work with a Hollywood studio to create realistic masks to test Face ID – has clearly paid off. It was impossible to break in with the model. Microsoft appeared to have done a fine job too. It’s new Windows Hello facial recognition also didn’t accept the fake head as real. Little surprise the two most valuable companies in the world offer the best security.”

“Le géant américain a annoncé, vendredi 30 novembre, que le système de réservation de Starwood avait été piraté. Il s’agit d’un incident d’une ampleur rare dans l’histoire des fuites de données. Le piratage a en effet rendu accessibles pendant quatre ans les données de centaines de millions de clients. Entre 2014 et septembre 2018, les pirates avaient en effet accès à une base de données contenant des données personnelles de « 500 millions de clients qui ont fait une réservation » dans un des hôtels de l’entreprise Starwood. Cette dernière possède notamment les marques Westin, Sheraton, W Hotels ou Le Méridien.”

“People underestimate how easy a malicious hacker could have used a vulnerability like this to cause major havoc,” TheHackerGiraffe said. “Hackers could have stolen files, installed malware, caused physical damage to the printers and even use the printer as a foothold into the inner network. “The most horrifying part is: I never considered hacking printers before, the whole learning, downloading and scripting process took no more than 30 minutes.”

“Audio device maker Sennheiser has issued a fix for a monumental software blunder that makes it easy for hackers to carry out man-in-the-middle attacks that cryptographically impersonate any big-name website on the Internet. Anyone who has ever used the company’s HeadSetup for Windows or macOS should take action immediately, even if users later uninstalled the app.”

“The move follows Australia’s decision to ban Huawei from supplying 5G equipment over concerns it could facilitate Chinese spying, and its barring from some U.S. government contracts on national security grounds. Germany, which lacks a telecoms hardware industry of its own, is keener to maintain its traditionally close trade and investment ties with Beijing without compromising on its own cyber-security, say officials.”

“Le député soulignait la « pression psychologique sur les plus jeunes » qui « les met en danger en les obligeant à réaliser des défis de plus en plus dangereux ». En 2017, la police nationale avait mis en garde contre les risques d’un jeu similaire, le « Blue whale challenge », qui poussait les jeunes à relever pendant cinquante jours des défis chaque fois plus dangereux jusqu’à la dernière étape : le suicide”

“Earlier this week, The Intercept was able to select “white genocide conspiracy theory” as a pre-defined “detailed targeting” criterion on the social network to promote two articles to an interest group that Facebook pegged at 168,000 users large and defined as “people who have expressed an interest or like pages related to White genocide conspiracy theory.” The paid promotion was approved by Facebook’s advertising wing. After we contacted the company for comment, Facebook promptly deleted the targeting category, apologized, and said it should have never existed in the first place.”
“Cette affaire, comme beaucoup d’autres, illustre une nouvelle fois la difficulté qu’a Twitter à modérer son réseau social. Malgré les avalanches d’annonces ces dernières années visant à faire de cette plate-forme un espace de discussion plus « sain », Twitter a échoué à supprimer une menace de mort signalée par la personne ciblée – et n’a réagi que lorsque l’auteur de ce message a fait les gros titres. Malgré les efforts annoncés par Twitter, les messages de haine, les menaces et le harcèlement parviennent à subsister sur le réseau social.”
