Det sociala nätverket följer i fotspåren av Facebook och Google, som båda vidtog åtgärder för att skydda användardata i kölvattnet av NSA spionen skandalen. Sociala meddelandetjänsten meddelade det var genomföra framåt sekretess protokoll "som ett led i vår fortsatta strävan att hålla våra användares information så säker som möjligt." Införandet av protokollet skyddar krypterad information även om en dekrypteringsnyckel används för att försöka bryta in i den. "Forward secrecy är bara den senaste sätt där Twitter försöker försvara och skydda användarens röst," skrev Twitter i ett uttalande på dess teknikers blogg. Google, Dropbox, Facebook och Tumblr har alla installerade framåt sekretess i ett försök att skydda internet-sekretess. Tjänsten har nästan ingen märkbar effekt på användarupplevelsen, förutom en liten tidsförskjutning när folk loggar in. De data som skyddas med ny hård-till-spricka koder kommer att omfatta tweets publiceras på mikro-blogger hemsida, men också privata meddelanden. Nedfallet från NSA spionen skandalen tidigare har i år orsakat ett antal webbplatser att vidta ytterligare säkerhetsåtgärder att omintetgöra online spioneri. Dokument läcka till tryck av tidigare NSA entreprenören Edward Snowden avslöjade att byrån samlar cyber data i stor skala, förbi Internetsäkerhet.

And while our real life reputation is largely defined by us through our interactions with others, our online digital reputation defines how people perceive us - without ever having a single conversation.

Skjebnen til AMD'S Sea-øyene skjult i tåke rapporter dukket opp sist helg som AMDS grafikk veikart for 2013 ville holde Radeon HD 7000 serie "stabil" hele året. Nyheten kom ut på en uvanlig måte, via et intervju med et japansk nettsted, og deretter flere tweets fra AMD ansatte og den offisielle Radeon Twitter feed. Naturligvis, vi hadde spørsmål om tingenes tilstand, så AMD holdt en telefonkonferanse for press i dag, i et forsøk på å avklare saker. Før sist helg ventet vi AMD å innføre en ny generasjon av grafikkortene innen de neste månedene.

Hass and Associates: The Cyber-Risk of a Missile Attack on Syria The cyberattacks carried out by Syria last week were much more broad than initially reported, and they amounted to a warning shot of the retaliation the U.S. could expect if it should attack. Subsequent attacks would most likely go after U.S. infrastructure, and given how fragile it is and the likelihood Iran or North Korea would help out, the result could be massive. As I write this, the U.S. has deployed a battle group to Syria in preparation for a missile strike against the government there, and Russia has deployed what appears to be a counter force. What most seem not to be factoring in is that Syria has already fired its warning shot with attacks on Twitter and The New York Times, at least. I say "at least," because reporting of attacks isn't comprehensive, and other attempts may have failed, so Syria's first strike may have been far larger than initially reported. (Related cyber-attack updates: http://www.technewsworld.com/story/78848.html) The U.S. has a tendency to overreact, and it is clear there's insufficient preparation for theinfrastructure collapse that could occur when Syria responds to a missile attack -- and Russia exists as a wild card that could cause the conflict to spread rapidly out of control. It's been common knowledge for some time that the U.S. infrastructure is vulnerable to outside attack and that governments like Syria and China have been probing it and probably know exactly where and how to do the most damage. There's a very real likelihood that this time the U.S. won't go unscathed, and it may be prudent to have a plan in place should things go very, very wrong.

Former Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano gave her farewell speech last week. She had quite a bit to say, but there was one thing that caught my attention: She warned that a major cyberattack is on the way. I believe it. Most major U.S. companies have been under siege from hackers over the last 18 months. In fact, two days after Napolitano's speech, a hacker group called the Syrian Electronic Army hacked the New York Times' website and Twitter feed - for the second time this year. Of course, Napolitano wasn't just talking about American business. She was talking about America's infrastructure: power grid, communications, banking and so forth. Every one of these services relies on computers. A well-placed virus could do a lot of damage, especially if an insider planted it. The Northeast blackout of 2003 started at a single power center. A computer bug disabled an important alarm. The operators couldn't react in time to a downed power line and it blacked out 55 million people for several days. Imagine waking up one morning with no power. Cellphones can't connect, banks are closed, the Internet is down and credit cards don't work. In localized emergencies, workers from other areas help to restore services quickly. A cyberattack could affect wide regions of the country, overwhelming the available manpower. It could take days, weeks or months for basic services to be fully restored. Not a pretty picture. Now, a cyberattack might not take down everything, but it could make basic services unreliable. You won't be able to trust technology to always work.
