    I thought this was interesting. Hacking has gone to another level of automation by using robotics to brute force hack the 4 digit pin on cell phones.

    It's nice to know my first thought when I started reading this of locking the phone after X number of unsuccessful attempts is what they suggested.

    The article was written by Bruce and published on CNN this month. It discusses the fact that almost everything we do can be and is monitored by someone, and eventually is subject to Government purvue. He shows how several key people who have been found their way into law enforcement pathways have taken many precautions, but all eventually were caught by other means which were correlated together to form the big picture.

    Phil, I have to say after reading this I am glad I still have a flip phone with no smart technology on it. I have read were your smart phones embed the lat/long into pictures if that function is turned on and that data can be retrieved from facebook if you have the right software. It just goes to show that what we see on TV has an impact on what we have in real life. Lee

    Hi Sam, I had noticed that the iPhone 5 wasn't using NFC. I didn't research it further though, as I honestly don't care for Apple products (way overpriced imho). There are numerous reasons Apple may not want to use NFC, which could be anything from them having a competing technology and not wanting it to prosper to them simply not seeing the value the technology in its current implementation (it is still in its infancy in some respects). I found a site which was able to list numerous reasons NFC is lagging behind: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57441842-94/is-nfc-killing-google-wallet/ ~Mike

    This link is has a variety of different stories written about up and coming technology like using viruses to power an electric generator. When I saw it I was thinking what application could this possibly have to technology? Apparently one day viruses will power small devices like your phone. This one is pretty far out and I found the article very interesting. I didn't find anything specific about the writer so I don't know his background other than he is a freelance writer.
  • Funsho Aiyedogbon on 30 Jun 13
     
    This is indeed very interesting. It is good to know that someone out there is developing a virus that will benefit mankind. This technology is supposed to be able to replace conventional batteries; it will enable people to charge their smart phones anywhere, even when walking.

    Now this is scary and yet so amazing. The fact that they are already predicting that typing a password into a device is something that is going to be in the past, is unreal. A device is going to recognize your face and allow you to have access to it. The scary part is the phone aspect in how the devices will pick up your phone conversation and automatically send a calendar invite to your device. New technologies are definitely amazing but still, there is little to no talk on how they are going to secure the environments that they are creating.
  • Gilbert Rivera on 30 Jun 13
     
    Very interesting article. Basically, all human existence will be completely gone by 2020. I can't believe these technologies even exist and are currently in the prototype stage. You never know, this technology can take over sooner that what this article expect. The most interesting technology to me the use of sensors. If things come out to be in full effect, with the use of these sensors can provide very accurate data and help avoid the use of any fraudulent it identity threats. Thanks!

    I read this article and loved it. After reading it a while back I became very interested in Gesture Control. This is the emerging technology that I chose for this class. I know that this article talks about the use of this technology in the office but we have already seen it in Smartphones (the new Galaxy) who knows where it will pop up next!

    Interesting article on how a hospitals phone network was hacked by someone using VOIP who then performed a DOS attack.
  • Bob Lloyd on 26 Jul 13
     
    This was an interesting article. I wish it explained how the attack was carried out. I am surprised that firewalls would not be a part of VOIP installation for large institutions. The treat has always been there. I am guessing that somebody cut costs up front and paid for it later. Maybe the attacker sold them the firewalls?

    Two things I found very interesting about Flame is the size of the malware as well as the ability to utilize Bluetooth to collect data. Considering Bluetooth usage has increased in some countries and is automatically turned on by default on cell phones, this could enable a lot of information to be collected.
  • Phil Kemp on 29 Apr 13
     
    We will see more of this type of modification of Stuxnet and Flame. The bad thing about finding stuff like this, is others who could not have made malware as technically advanced as this, will be able to modify it much easier than if they would have had to design it from scratch.
  • Leo T Garcia on 29 Apr 13
     
    focused on the comment made by the analyst on the differentiation of cyber "war" vs. cyber "espionage" as it appears that Flame is more on cuber espionage since it is desgined to collect infor from specific targets.

    Recently uncovered government documents reveal that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) unmanned Predator B drone fleet has been custom designed to identify civilians carrying guns and track cell phone signals. "I am very concerned that this technology will be used against law-abiding American firearms owners," said founder and executive vice president of the Second Amendment Foundation, Alan Gottlieb.

    Good read. After reading this and another related article (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-57572207-38/dhs-built-domestic-surveillance-tech-into-predator-drones/) There's a fine line which must be established before the full use of this technology, however it does raise concerns for the future in terms of privacy. It's primary purpose for homeland security is the survey the borders of the united states. There are certainlly risks involved in its use. Ensuring that this technology is effectively secured from attacks to its onboard weapons and communications systems is equally important to the issues raised in the articles.
  • Jawaun Luckey on 24 Mar 13
     
    Good post I've heard chatter about drones being flown over the USA before. I could see the benefits of using drones for recon and counter terrorism, but this opens the door for much larger issues. Where will line be drawn in the sand as far as citizen privacy and avoiding the "big brother" hysteria?
  • glenn_g on 24 Mar 13
     
    The power these drones represent is incredible. I can easily see how the can (and will be) abused. As Jammes pointed out, the Primary purpose of DHS is securing our nations borders, yet I have read of DHS rading peoples homes because of an "improperly" imported car! Not to sound like I am about to put a tinfoil hat on, but I do see the distinct possibility of the banning of firearms in this country as happened in England in 1997. These tools will be in place well before that day.
  • Ben Garey on 24 Mar 13
     
    The use of Drones in the field as a tool to fight the fight on the borders is one thing, using them as a tool to fight terrorism is still another, but using them as tool to spy on the people of the United States is another. I think this is one that the United States Supreme Court will be deciding soon.

    Ken, This was a very good article. Nothing that I had not heard in the recent couple years, but you can see how society is being tracked to the point that no civil liberties union will be able to do anything anymore. The byproducts of the features that everyone wants, i.e. for convenience, are what allow these agencies monitoring and mining all of this data, with our silent approval. The use of this data will only continue to rise, and we will soon see if the secure state we are building will do more good than bad.
