According to the author, hackers had harnessed artificial intelligence to search for security vulnerabilities, exploit them, and conduct data breaches autonomously. He estimated that the AI could not be stopped because it did not operate in the cloud but on criminals' own computers around the world. The author referred to the situation as "Black October" and said that warnings had been issued about it. #MustaLokakuu #kyberturvallisuus #tekoäly #tietomurto #FI (translated)
The publisher warned of a scam message appearing to be from Microsoft, which, according to him, did not pass DKIM checks, despite those checks being supposed to prevent the message from being delivered. He assessed that the message was related to an active ConnectWise vulnerability and warned that similar messages could also be sent to others. #kyberturvallisuus #huijaukset #tietoturva #FI (translated)
According to the author, the update may not prevent all attack methods. He wrote that if this is true, the next day would be interesting. (translated)

The author found the eMudhra case unbelievable and claimed that it had issued certificates to Indian banks and authorities that would have been easy to forge.

The author hoped that Yandex's backups were up to date. He said that data centers are easy targets in a crisis situation and believed that Finland should also be aware of this risk. #Yandex #tietoturva #riski #FI (translated)
According to the author, the tracker found in the car or the spy software installed on the phone did not yet indicate who had installed it. He added that at least in the case of the AirTag, the police received information from Apple about which account the tracker was linked to. https://t.co/cTKtnGxxzS #vainoaminen #vainoaminen #turvallisuus #teknologia #FI (translated)
The author said platforms’ refusal to accept even paid advertising would raise concerns about free speech and the shrinking number of companies controlling many platforms in the country. They added that the refusals ironically supported the argument the film was set to make.
According to the writer, a multi-billion investment was once again being planned in Finland, but the politicians no longer praised it. https://t.co/jFRq8nYXy2 #investoinnit #Suomi #poliitika #FI (translated)
The author reported that the general alarm had sounded twice in a row during the day, which, according to him, had not happened before.

According to the author, the exercise could not be kept secret if two helicopters were buzzing around near Aalto University for about half an hour around 3 PM.

Kova on kiire: Google jätti tekemättä ympäristöselvityksen Muhoksella ja kaatoi heti 300 hehtaaria metsää. Microsoft teetti lähes 100-sivuisen selvityksen ennen töiden aloitusta, tässä malliksi Kirkkonummen datakeskuksesta tehty selvitys: https://t.co/e8a1fNMLid #YVA #datakeskus #YVA #datakeskus #ympäristö #FI
Se, että kyse on viime kädessä ihmisen omista virheistä ei paljon lohduta, jos tekoäly pääsee vaikka sotkemaan sairaalan, lennonjohdon tai pörssien kaupankäynnin ja aiheuttamaan talouskaaoksen. Lähde: OpenAI:n blogi. https://t.co/Bj8G4s3aGB #tekoäly #talouskaaos #turvallisuus #FI
"Sinut on vapautettu..." Ei ole merkitystä sillä, onko tekoäly tietoinen (ei) tai pyrkiikö se tuhoamaan ihmiskunnan (ei). Tällaista tuottava tekoäly voi yllättää tekijänsä ja sitä kautta kaikki muutkin lukemattomilla, vaarallisilla tavoilla. #tekoäly #turvallisuus #teknologia #FI
Tällainen tuli eilen Mac-koneella surffatessa. Erittäin epäilyttävää ohjeistaa avaamaan Terminaali ja syöttämään komentoja. Myös Applen laitteet ovat alttiita tietoturvahykkäyksille. #tietoturva #varoitus https://t.co/r0nJtfVE0K #tietoturva #varoitus #Mac #FI
Jos luen tilastoa oikein, onnistuneiden huijausten määrä KASVOI 62 % ja estettyjen kasvoi "vain" 41 %. Huijattu rahasumma pieneni, mutta yhä useampi yritys siis onnistui (27 % -> 30 %). #huijaukset #tilastot #yritykset #FI
@winninghelix @katleena Meta ja Google seuraavat käyttäjiä kaikin keinoin, Google mm. tunnistaa moottoripyörällä ajamisen (!). Tietoja käytetään mainosten kohdentamiseen ja se toimii tosi hyvin, siksi moni luulee Facebookin salakuuntelevan. TikTokista en ole vastaavaa nähnyt. #Meta #Google #mainonta #FI
