* Reddit released its first transparency report last week


* Says it received 55 requests for user information
* Says it complied with 64% of state and federal requests
* Says it received 218 requests for content removal, and complied with 31 percent of those
* I am pleased to see them releasing these numbers, and I hope more organizations do the same

* The GHCQ was using a program called BADASS to collect data leaked by games such as Angry Birds


* Luckily it only affected the 11 people still playing that game

* Russian dating site, Topface, got hacked for 20 million usernames
* The FBI busted up a Tom Clancy book plot in New York City


* The plan was to get information about wall street trading algorithms and hopefully destabilize the markets

* Anonymous DDoS’d the Lizard Squad website, and then Twitter suspended a couple of their handles
* Interesting to see these groups going after each other

* BMW and the internet of things is in the news, with BMW owners receiving an automatic push to around 2 million cars


* A vulnerability was present that could allow attacks to spoof cell towers and possibly control onboard systems
* BMW pushed a patch that ensures all such communications go over HTTPS
* It’s interesting that, like printers, cars are likely to become a primary IoT platform just because there are so many of them
* The key is to figure out what normal things exist in the world today en mass, and then imagine those things being connected
* Printers, cars, furniture, clothing, etc. It’s the regular stuff that makes it interesting because of how much attack surface they represent, and how prevalent the perspective they’ll offer into our daily lives

How To Find Great People to Work With - UBI & Talent Distribution

How To Find Great People to Work With - UBI & Talent Distribution

This reminds me of a very similar lesson I learned when hiring in cybersecurity over 20 years: exposing people to training and encouragement makes the stars stand out, but it doesn’t turn everyone into stars.

Ambition & UBI - Why People Are Working Less

Ambition & UBI - Why People Are Working Less

The idea that Universal Basic Income (UBI) reduces the need to work isn't new, but recent studies show it doesn't lead to better jobs or more education. Instead, people just work less. | by Alex Howlett | MORE Subscribe to the newsletter at: https://danielmiessler.com/subscribe Join the UL community at:https://danielmiessler.com/upgrade Follow on X:https://twitter.com/danielmiessler Follow on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielmiessler See you in the next one!Become a Member: https://danielmiessler.com/upgradeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Google Current State A Waste of Money & Talent

Google Current State A Waste of Money & Talent

Google is slowly getting rid of all the best things it has. The main thing Google is growing is its graveyard. Such a colossal waste of money and talent. Their failures should be studied for centuries as an example of what happens when you don’t lead with UX-focused product management, rather than “throw shit at wall”-focused engineering.
