Your digital privacy is under attack. Can anything be done to protect it?
A committee from the Council of Europe is concerned with the use of technology for mass surveillance programs.
Intelligence services around the world should be kept in check by an international body with the power to make sure governments don't misuse personal data for surveillance purposes, said the Council of Europe's data protection committee chairs in a joint statement.
Countries should agree at an international level on the extent to which the surveillance carried out by intelligence services can be authorized and under which conditions, recommended the committee. The agreement should come as a legal tool that could be enforced independently by a data protection body that is yet to be created.
The European human rights organization said that calls for better data protection at an international level are especially relevant in times of crisis, when circumstances provide governments with an opportunity to lawfully restrict citizens' privacy rights.

EU leaders to call for an EU electronic ID by mid-2021
EU leaders will ask the European Commission later this month to develop an EU-wide public electronic identification system (e-ID) to access cross-border digital services, according to the draft summit conclusions seen by EURACTIV.com
Strengthening Europe’s autonomy and sovereignty in the aftermath of the pandemic will be the main topic of the European Council to be held on 24 and 25 September in Brussels and digital initiatives will feature prominently.
As part of their plans, the 27 Heads of State and Government want to have a robust and functional digital ecosystem across the Union for citizens.
To that end, EU leaders will call for the development of an “EU-wide secure public electronic identification (e-ID) to provide people with control over their online identity and data as well as to enable access to cross-border digital services,” the draft document reads.
They will ask the Commission to put forward a proposal for a ‘European Digital Identification’ initiative by mid-2021, and member states hope that an EU-wide e-ID will be especially for cross-border digital services, a market expected to grow in the digital economy.
There has been some progress on this front over the past years at the technical level to guarantee the interoperability of national e-ID. Thanks to that, since September 2018, EU rules allow citizens to use their national e-ID also to access public services across borders in other member states.
In this context, the Commission has recently sought to update the rules on electronic identification operations in the EU, as part of the eIDAS regulation, in a bid to develop a more harmonized and resilient market for electronic identification systems on the bloc.
On the launch of the Commission’s public consultation on the plans in the summer, Commission Vice-President for Digital Margarethe Vestager said that the revision of the 2018 eIDAS regulation “aims to improve its effectiveness, extend its benefits to the private sector and promote trusted digital identities for all Europeans and create a secure and interoperable European Digital Identity which gives citizens control.”

Health Insurers Are Vacuuming Up Details About You — And It Could Raise Your Rates
To an outsider, the fancy booths at a June health insurance industry gathering in San Diego, Calif., aren't very compelling: a handful of companies pitching "lifestyle" data and salespeople touting jargony phrases like "social determinants of health."
But dig deeper and the implications of what they're selling might give many patients pause: a future in which everything you do — the things you buy, the food you eat, the time you spend watching TV — may help determine how much you pay for health insurance.

Facebook to be forced to stop sending EU data to the US
The Irish regulator is expected to stop the social media giant from moving data to the US because of privacy concerns.
Ireland's privacy watchdog has told Facebook that it will soon have to stop transferring its European users' data to the United States because the social media giant's current procedures fall foul of EU law.
Facebook was told in early August that the Irish privacy regulator was reviewing how it moved data to the U.S., according to two people with knowledge of the case who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
In a statement, Nick Clegg, Facebook's head lobbyist, confirmed Ireland's expected decision, saying that the pending ruling would be felt across the transatlantic economy.
"A lack of safe, secure and legal international data transfers would damage the economy and hamper the growth of data-driven businesses in the EU," Clegg said. "We will continue to transfer data in compliance with the recent CJEU ruling and until we receive further guidance."
Facebook still has an opportunity to put its case to Ireland's Data Protection Commissioner before a final judgment — but the order will likely set a precedent for how billions of euros of data should be handled and moved across the Atlantic.

Former NSA chief Keith Alexander has joined Amazon’s board of directors
Alexander was the public face of US surveillance during the Snowden leaks
Keith Alexander is joining Amazon’s board of directors, the company revealed in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing today. (Alexander has also been added to the company board’s official site.) A former director of the National Security Agency and the first commander of the US Cyber Command, Alexander served as the public face of US data collection during the Edward Snowden leaks, but he retired from public service in 2013.
Alexander is a controversial figure for many in the tech community because of his involvement in the widespread surveillance systems revealed by the Snowden leaks. Those systems included PRISM, a broad data collection program that compromised systems at Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, and Facebook — but not Amazon.
Alexander was broadly critical of reporting on the Snowden leaks, even suggesting that reporters should be legally restrained from covering the documents. “I think it’s wrong that that newspaper reporters have all these documents, the 50,000-whatever they have and are selling them and giving them out as if these — you know it just doesn’t make sense,” Alexander in an interview in 2013. “We ought to come up with a way of stopping it. I don’t know how to do that. That’s more of the courts and the policymakers but, from my perspective, it’s wrong to allow this to go on.”
Alexander’s board spot will also give Amazon new expertise in defense contracting, an area of particular focus for the company in recent years. Amazon was a leading candidate for a recent $10 billion cloud computing contract with the Pentagon, but it ultimately lost out to Microsoft. The company is currently engaged in a lawsuit against the federal government in connection with the contract, alleging that President Donald Trump’s personal statements against Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos biased the process against Amazon.

Why the algorithms of #TikTok are possibly optimized more for screentime and less for suicide removal is explained very clearly in the new Netflix documentary "The Social Dilemma". Director Jeff Orlowski has put all the ethics big shots from Silicon Valley in front of the camera - from Tristan Harris to Shoshanna Zuboff - and lets them once again unravel the business model of surveillance capitalism in a striking way.

Ransomware accounted for 41% of all cyber insurance claims in H1 2020
Cyber insurance claims ranged in size from $1,000 to well over $2,000,000 per security incident.
Ransomware incidents have accounted for 41% of cyber insurance claims filed in the first half of 2020, according to a report published today by Coalition, one of the largest providers of cyber insurance services in North America.
The high number of claims comes to confirm previous reports from multiple cyber-security firms that ransomware is one of today's most prevalent and destructive threats.
"In the first half of 2020 alone, we observed a 260% increase in the frequency of ransomware attacks amongst our policyholders, with the average ransom demand increasing 47%," the company added.

Hackers Stole $5.4 Million From Eterbase Cryptocurrency Exchange
Cybercriminals successfully plundered another digital cryptocurrency exchange.
European cryptocurrency exchange #Eterbase this week disclosed a massive breach of its network by an unknown group of hackers who stole cryptocurrencies worth 5.4 million dollars.
Eterbase, which has now entered maintenance mode until the security issue is resolved, described itself as Europe's Premier #Digital #Asset #Exchange.
Based in Bratislava, Slovakia, and launched in 2019, Eterbase is a small cryptocurrency exchange platform that focuses on crypto to SEPA integration (via individual IBAN accounts), multi-asset support, and regulatory compliance.
On Monday night, #malicious threat actors managed to raid six Eterbase's hot wallets for #Bitcoin, #Ethereum, #XRP, #Tezos, #Algorand, and #TRON and transferred the funds into their #wallets managed at six rival #crypto #exchanges, Eterbase reported on its Telegram channel on Tuesday.

Facebook pilots Campus, a college student-only section similar to The Facebook of '04
The company is aiming to personalize Facebook's core service for the modern-day college experience.
Facebook announced Wednesday that it's piloting a new college-only section on the platform called Facebook Campus. The space is meant to serve as a hub for students on college campuses, offering ways to find and connect with fellow classmates, and keep up with campus events -- sort of like the original The Facebook that launched as a social network for college students back in 2004.
With this new version, however, the company is aiming to personalize Facebook's core service for the modern-day college experience.
"This year, students across the country are facing new challenges as some campuses shift to partial or full-time remote learning, so it's more important than ever to find a way to stay connected to college life," Charmaine Hung, product manager for Facebook Campus, wrote in a blog post.

Smart contact lenses are a sci-fi trope, but they may also offer hope for sufferers of certain kinds of debilitating eye ailments. That's the goal of new research into a a tunable, low-powered iris embedded in a smart contact lens.
It's a good example of the growing role of nanotechnology in human augmentation and therapeutics. The human iris controls pupil size in response to light, a critical function that allows the retina to take in appropriate sensory information. Too much light and the world is washed out, too little and it's veiled in darkness. A host of eye diseases and deficiencies inhibit the iris from responding appropriately, including aniridia and keratoconus. Light sensitivity, similarly, is a painful debilitation and is often associated with chronic migraine.
Researchers at Imec, an innovation hub based in Belgium, along with partners like CMST, a Ghent University-affiliated research group, the Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria Fundación Jiménez Díaz in Madrid, Spain, and Holst Centre have been developing an low-powered wearable solution. The contact lens's iris aperture is tunable thanks to an integrated liquid crystal display (LCD) that manipulates concentric rings.

China’s ‘purification’ of classrooms: A new law erases history, silences teachers and rewrites books
HONG KONG — The high school visual arts teacher couldn’t go to the front lines of protest, but he took inspiration from the pro-democracy marches and unleashed his own brand of subversion: cartoons.
He drew a policeman sweeping a bloodied protester under a rug fashioned after the Chinese flag. Another sketch captioned “Lunchtime” depicted popular snacks — an egg custard tart and deep-fried French toast — next to a canister of tear gas. He captured the unrelenting despair that seized Hong Kongers after the demonstrations each night with an image of a man lying in bed crying himself to sleep.
Everywhere Wong looked, he saw China constricting the freedoms that had made Hong Kong an unabashed city of towering glass, raucous politics and quicksilver commerce. He drew in harrowing detail what he was losing, sharing his work on social media under the pen name @vawongsir. He thought his identity was safe. But then came the anonymous complaint to the Education Bureau that he was “publishing inappropriate illustrations online.”
Wong would end up losing his job.
“I felt powerless,” he said.
With China’s tightening control over Hong Kong, including passage of a new national security law, the territory’s pro-democracy activists, politicians, journalists and others are facing a Communist Party determined to crush dissent. Perhaps the greatest threat from this new purge — one that will affect generations to come — is the increasing pressure on schools and teachers over what to put in the minds of students. Both activists and bureaucrats know that a nation’s soul is distilled in the classroom; history can be erased with the silencing of teachers and rewriting of textbooks.

China’s ‘purification’ of classrooms: A new law erases history, silences teachers and rewrites books
China's crackdown on Hong Kong is purging teachers, rewriting textbooks and increasing pressure on schools over what to put in the minds of students. A new national security law has endangered freedom of thought and expression.
Huawei opens core tech to developers and hopes to inspire the next TikTok
It also laid out plans to see Google replacement HarmonyOS on smartphones from next year and a handful of new consumer devices.
Huawei has announced it will fully open core technologies, including its software and hardware capabilities, to developers and partners.
As part of this plan, Huawei will open software services, such as browsing, search, map, payment, advertising kits, and hardware capabilities, including AR map, communication and transmission tools, as well as security capabilities.
Huawei consumer business group CEO Richard Yu appealed to developers and partners to work with the company to "jointly build a fully-connected all-scenario intelligent ecosystem" featuring new apps across different categories.
"Developers can benefit from all the resources we have … we're dedicated to introducing Chinese developers' work to global consumers, hoping to see more TikTok in the future, so that we can take them to the overseas market," Yu said, speaking through a translator during his keynote speech at Huawei's Developer Conference 2020.

Dark Web-Hosted Movies and Fake Apps Are Costing the US Movie and TV Industry Billions Every Year
The dark web facilitates the movie piracy industry that’s costing the US movie and TV industry billions of dollars in lost revenue
Illegal movie downloads and counterfeit entertainment apps are costing the US movie and television industry billions of dollars every year.
Today, there are more than 150 billion views of illicit multimedia being consumed across the US every single year. It turns out that a majority of these views have been unaccounted for as a significantly high number of offenders continue to operate under the radar of copyright enforcement authorities.
Illegal file sharing is normally facilitated via torrent websites, which denote online platforms where individuals upload large files.
The torrent websites are accessible to people looking out to download uploaded information that would include pirated movie content, software programs, and video games.
Importantly, the dark web, which is known for hosting illicit goods and services for sale, has become a significantly relevant player in the illegal movies and fake apps business. Here, millions of illicit files are uploaded and accessed by darknet downloaders.
While speaking to Amarillo News, Dr. Brandon Bang, a criminal justice expert, said that the current circumstance surrounding pirated entertainment material has led to the loss of employment opportunities and revenue streams across the economic spectrum.
He went on to highlight the role of torrent websites in enabling the illegal movie download business that has affected the entire industry. The criminal justice pundit went on to cite the case involving shutdown of the torrent website MegaUpload – an event that was big enough to cause noticeable positive changes in the TV industry, which gained a more than 5 percent increase in revenue due to the anti-piracy operation.
