Last week, the UK began the need to confirm their age, in the name of children’s safety, online pornography and other adult content. Almost Immediately immediately, matters did not go to the plan – however, they went as expected.
As experts have predicted, the UK residents began downloading Virtual Private Networks (VPN) N Mass, which can prevent age verification, which may require users to upload their official identities, which seems to be in a different country. The UK’s Online Safety Act is just part of a wave of age verification efforts worldwide. And while these rules can prevent some children from accessing adult content, some experts have warned that they also cause security and privacy risks to everyone.
Russia’s state -backed hacking group Tourley is known for its bold, creative attacks, such as masking or detecting its communication through a satellite, other than other hackers’ attacks. The group, which is part of the Russian FSB Intelligence Agency, is now using the country’s Internet providers to force foreign officials to download spyware, which breaks encryption, which can provide Trola’s hackers access to their private information.
And that’s not all. Every week, we prepare for security and privacy news that we did not cover the depth. Click headlines to read full stories. And be safe there.
Google is developing an AI -powered age estimate system to apply Google Search and YouTube Content content concerns, even for users who do not provide their age. The system is starting in the European Union, where digital safety regulations order that platforms take steps to protect minors from potentially harmful materials.
Google says that instead of fully relying on the user’s input data, they will estimate the age using “different types of signals” and other metadata to determine that the user will show limited results. Privacy supporters say the move poses a risk of mistakes and raises questions about transparency and consent.
Google claims that changes are linked to regulatory expectations and will help young users protect them from inappropriate content. Nevertheless, the idea that platforms can evaluate the algorithm in personal traits such as Omar and completely restrict the content based on these assumptions.
Just 24 hours after Jane Easter was nominated as a prominent West Point chair in social studies, the army abolished the appointment after the right criticism. The former CyberScure and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) director and the academy’s flock was praised for decades for decades. But activist Laura Loomer claimed that he had spread online after a relationship with the Governance Board of Information Board of Easter’s Biden era.
Nina Jankovich, who served as the Executive Director of the Board, refused to work with Easter in a post on Bluesky, and described the event as another example of how we were all living in the “stupid timeline”.
Nevertheless, Army Secretary Dan Drakul canceled the Easter agreement and ordered a thorough review of the policies to hire Westpoint. The military also suspended the process of allowing external groups to help select the faculty. Former CISA leaders and the second high -profile confrontation have been identified after Donald Trump’s cancellation of Chris Curbs’ security clearance earlier this year.
According to Rolling Stone reports, a two -way bill of US Senators Amy Klobochar and Ted Cruz can allow lawmakers to demand online posts to display their home addresses or travel plans. The proposal, which can undergo a unanimous consent, has been presented as a response to the growing threats against government officials – especially after the assassination of Melissa Heartman, a lawmaker last month.
Watch Dugs warned dozens of media outlets that the bill could enable reporting and electoral censorship. Although the legislature also includes nominal waiver for journalists, critics say it is so vague that Congress allows members to be tried in shops or calling for legitimate news stories.
