Yandex - no longer to be found in Turkey

The "Russian Google" is withdrawing from the country. It is apparently reacting to new Turkish laws which, according to critics, are intended to control government opponents on the Internet.

The Russian Internet provider Yandex is apparently withdrawing from Turkey. As the Turkish business site Marketing Tรผrkiye reports, the digital giant, which is considered the Russian answer to Google, will close its Istanbul office. An official confirmation from Yandex is still pending. Turkish media, however, reported that the company will close its office on October 1, lay off employees and conduct business in Turkey from Russia.

The Russian company is thus likely to react to the new Turkish digital legislation, which will come into force in the fall and will force providers of digital services to control the use of Internet platforms much more than before. According to the new law, platforms with more than one million users in the country will have to register with their own branch. They are thus subject to Turkish law and are liable. At the same time they will be forced to register the identities of their users. In addition, platform operators are to be forced to delete postings that are classified as untrue or offensive.

Microsoft acquires game publisher Bethesda Softworks for $7.5 billion

Microsoft is continuing to add firepower to its gaming unit. Its latest move: Spending $7.5 billion for the creator of The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Doom and other key franchises.

Microsoft is continuing to beef up its gaming franchise with the purchase of ZeniMax Media, the parent company of Bethesda Softworks, for $7.5 billion in cash. Bethesda is a major game publisher and creator of The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Wolfenstein, Doom and other key franchises.

For a sense of perspective, Microsoft also paid $7.5 billion for GitHub in 2018.

The move comes on September 21, a day before Microsoft is opening up preorders for its new gaming consoles, the Xbox One X and Xbox One S. (It's also the day before the start of its Ignite 2020 IT Pro conference.) Both of the new consoles will go on sale on November 10.

With the addition of Bethesda, Microsoft will grow its number of game studios from from 15 to 23. Plans are to add Bethesda's franchises to Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft's gaming subscription bundle. According to Microsoft, officials are planning to add Bethesda's future games into Xbox Game Pass the same day they launch on Xbox or PC.

Bethesda Softworks was founded 34 years ago and along with ZeniMax employs multiple thousands of people.

Facebook Says it Will Stop Operating in Europe If Regulators Donโ€™t Back Down

European regulators are cracking down on Facebook's ability to transfer data across the Atlantic. Now the tech giant is threatening to pull its services from more than 400 million European users.

CORK, Ireland โ€” Facebook has threatened to pack up its toys and go home if European regulators donโ€™t back down and let the social network get its own way.

In a court filing in Dublin, Facebook said that a decision by Irelandโ€™s Data Protection Commission (DPC) would force the company to pull up stakes and leave the 410 million people who use Facebook and photo-sharing service Instagram in the lurch.

If the decision is upheld, โ€œit is not clear to [Facebook] how, in those circumstances, it could continue to provide the Facebook and Instagram services in the EU,โ€ Yvonne Cunnane, who is Facebook Irelandโ€™s head of data protection and associate general counsel, wrote in a sworn affidavit.

The decision Facebookโ€™s referring to is a preliminary order handed down last month to stop the transfer of data about European customers to servers in the U.S., over concerns about U.S. government surveillance of the data.

Facebook hit back by filing a lawsuit challenging the Irish DPCโ€™s ban, and in a sworn affidavit filed this week, the company leveled some very serious accusations about the Irish data-protection commissioner, including a lack of fairness and apparent bias in singling out Facebook.

Cunnane points out that Facebook was given only three weeks to respond to the decision, a period that is โ€œmanifestly inadequate,โ€ adding that Facebook wasnโ€™t contacted about the inquiry prior to judgment being handed down.

She also raises concerns about the decision being made โ€œsolelyโ€ by Helen Dixon, Irelandโ€™s data protection commissioner.

โ€œThe fact one person is responsible for the entire process is relevant to [Facebookโ€™s] concerns, in respect of the inadequacy of the investigative process engaged in and independence of the ultimate decision-making process,โ€ Cunnane wrote.

Cunnane also complains that Facebook is being singled out, noting no other big tech company using similar methods to transfer data to the U.S. from the EU is under the same scrutiny.

Brazil's data protection regulations sanctioned

But the country still lacks an agency to enforce the rules
.

Brazil's General Data Protection Regulations (LGPD, in the Portuguese acronym) have been sanctioned by president Jair Bolsonaro on Friday (18), after nearly a month of uncertainty over the actual go-live date of the rules.

The latest development brings a change in relation to the implementation date of May 2021 proposed by the Brazilian Congress and means the regulations are already valid, with sanctions for non-compliance applicable from August 2021.

Among other things, the LGPD prohibits illicit or abusive processing of personal data from a specific person or a group to support business decisions - consumer data for the sale of goods or services, for example - public policies or the performance of a government agency. Sanctions for non-compliance range from warnings to daily fines of up to 50 million reais (USD 9.2 million), in addition to a partial or total suspension of activities related to data processing.

Despite the fact that the data protection rules have gone live in Brazil, the presidential sanction did not include any mention to the formation of the National Data Protection Authority (ANPD, in the Portuguese acronym), which will be tasked with enforcing the rules and is set to include members from industry, academia and national Internet governance bodies.

At the Math Olympiad, Computers Prepare to Go for the Gold

Computer scientists are trying to build an AI system that can win a gold medal at the worldโ€™s premier math competition.

The 61st International Mathematical Olympiad, or IMO, begins today. It may go down in history for at least two reasons: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic itโ€™s the first time the event has been held remotely, and it may also be the last time that artificial intelligence doesnโ€™t compete.

Indeed, researchers view the IMO as the ideal proving ground for machines designed to think like humans. If an AI system can excel here, it will have matched an important dimension of human cognition.

โ€œThe IMO, to me, represents the hardest class of problems that smart people can be taught to solve somewhat reliably,โ€ said Daniel Selsam of Microsoft Research. Selsam is a founder of the IMO Grand Challenge, whose goal is to train an AI system to win a gold medal at the worldโ€™s premier math competition.

Since 1959, the IMO has brought together the best pre-college math students in the world. On each of the competitionโ€™s two days, participants have four and a half hours to answer three problems of increasing difficulty. They earn up to seven points per problem, and top scorers take home medals, just like at the Olympic Games. The most decorated IMO participants become legends in the mathematics community. Some have gone on to become superlative research mathematicians.

New York City police officer spied on fellow Tibetans for China, prosecutors charge

A New York City police officer who also serves in the U.S. Army Reserve was arrested Monday on a federal charges of acting as an illegal agent of China.

The police officer, Baimadajie Angwang, who was born in the autonomous region of Tibet in China, allegedly repeatedly reported to officials at the Chinese Consulate in New York on the activities of other ethnic Tibetans in the New York area.

A complaint said that Angwang "used his official position in the NYPD to provide [Chinese] Consulate officials access to senior NYPD officials through invitations to official NYPD events."

The 33-year-old cop, Baimadajie Angwang, who was born in the autonomous region of Tibet in China, allegedly reported to officials at the Chinese consulate in New York on the activities of other Tibetans in the New York area.

Angwang, after appearing remotely in federal court in New York via teleconference, was ordered by a judge to be detained without bond after prosecutors said he "presents a serious risk of flight" to avoid the criminal charges. Angwang's lawyer reserved his right to argue for bail at a later date.

If convicted, Angwan, a resident of Nassau County, Long Island, face a maximum possible prison sentence of 55 years.

Authorities noted in a criminal complaint that Angwang, who currently works for the New York Police Department's community affairs unit in the 111th precinct in Queens, "initially traveled to the United States on a cultural exchange visa."

But after overstaying a second visa he "eventually sought asylum in the United States on the basis that he had allegedly been arrested and tortured in the [People's Republic of China] due partly to this Tibetan ethnicity," the complaint said.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York, in a detention memo, said that despite Angwang's claims, an investigation found that "Angwang has traveled back to the PRC on numerous occasion since his asylum application was granted."

"These are not the actions of an individual who fears torture or persecution at the hands of the PRC, thus showing that his U.S. citizenship was secured through false pretenses," the memo said.

Despite past denials, LAPD has used facial recognition software 30,000 times in last decade, records show

The Los Angeles Police Department has used facial recognition software nearly 30,000 times since 2009, with hundreds of officers running images of suspects from surveillance cameras and other sources against a massive database of mug shots taken by law enforcement.

The new figures, released to The Times, reveal for the first time how commonly facial recognition is used in the department, which for years has provided vague and contradictory information about how and whether it uses the technology.

The LAPD has consistently denied having records related to facial recognition, and at times denied using the technology at all.

The truth is that, while it does not have its own facial recognition platform, LAPD personnel have access to facial recognition software through a regional database maintained by the Los Angeles County Sheriffโ€™s Department. And between Nov. 6, 2009, and Sept. 11 of this year, LAPD officers used the systemโ€™s software 29,817 times.

Old TV caused village broadband outages for 18 months

The mystery of why an entire village lost its broadband every morning at 7am was solved when engineers discovered an old television was to blame.

An unnamed householder in Aberhosan, Powys, was unaware the old set would emit a signal which would interfere with the entire village's broadband.

After 18 months engineers began an investigation after a cable replacement programme failed to fix the issue.

The embarrassed householder promised not to use the television again.

The village now has a stable broadband signal.

Openreach engineers were baffled by the continuous problem and it wasn't until they used a monitoring device that they found the fault.

The householder would switch their TV set on at 7am every morning - and electrical interference emitted by their second-hand television was affecting the broadband signal.

The owner, who does not want to be identified, was "mortified" to find out their old TV was causing the problem, according to Openreach.

"They immediately agreed to switch it off and not use it again," said engineer Michael Jones.

Threema, the well-known Swiss Messenger, in an interview. Roman Flepp, Head of Marketing & Sales, answers your questions about the Messenger.

An interview with Threema, the very well known and popular Swiss Messenger. A lot has happened with the privacy friendly messenger from Pfรคffikon in Switzerland. To have to assert oneself as a "small" startup company against the worldwide competition, but those times are over now. Because at the latest after the entry of the German-Swiss Afinum Management AG into Threema, it should be clear to everyone that the Messenger now wants to swim with the big fish.

Threema for you in an interview

To claim that everyone knows Threema may be a bit exaggerated. But I'm sure everyone has heard of him. Because at the latest, when you look for a "safe" messenger, the air gets quite thin very quickly. So who is behind the once so small start-up from Switzerland? How did it all start? And where is it all going? How does Afinum Management AG fit into the picture of a small Swiss company? Questions upon questions. Reason enough for us to ask Threema for a detailed interview.

Firefox usage is down 85% despite Mozilla's top exec pay going up 400%

Mozilla is in an absolute state: high overheads, falling usage of Firefox, questionable sources of revenue and now making big cuts to engineering as their income falls.

Mozilla recently announced that they would be dismissing 250 people. That's a quarter of their workforce so there are some deep cuts to their work too. The victims include: the MDN docs (those are the web standards docs everyone likes better than w3schools), the Rust compiler and even some cuts to Firefox development. Like most people I want to see Mozilla do well but those three projects comprise pretty much what I think of as the whole point of Mozilla, so this news is a a big let down.

The stated reason for the cuts is falling income. Mozilla largely relies on "royalties" for funding. In return for payment, Mozilla allows big technology companies to choose the default search engine in Firefox - the technology companies are ultimately paying to increase the number of searches Firefox users make with them. Mozilla haven't been particularly transparent about why these royalties are being reduced, except to blame the corona-virus.

I'm sure the coronavirus is not a great help but I suspect the bigger problem is that Firefox's market share is now a tiny fraction of its previous size and so the royalties will be smaller too - fewer users, so fewer searches and therefore less money for Mozilla.

Shopify discloses security incident caused by two rogue employees

Shopify said two rogue support staffers accessed customer transaction details for less than 200 stores.

Online e-commerce giant Shopify is working with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to investigate a security breach caused by two rogue employees.

The company said two members of its support team accessed and tried to obtain customer transaction details from Shopify shop owners (merchants).

Shopify estimated the number of stores that might be affected by the employees' actions at less than 200. The company boasted more than one million registered merchants in its latest quarterly filings.

The e-commerce giant said the incident is not the result of a vulnerability in its platform but the actions of rogue employees.

"We immediately terminated these individuals' access to our Shopify network and referred the incident to law enforcement," the company said in a prepared statement. "We are currently working with the FBI and other international agencies in their investigation of these criminal acts."

An investigation into the security breach is still in its early phases. Shopify promised to notify impacted merchants and customers as relevant.

Web sites shared over 100 trillion pieces of our personal data last year: time to stop real-time biddingโ€™s blatant disregard of privacy

Last week Privacy News Online wrote about developments in the long-running battle between the privacy campaigner Max Schrems and Facebook. One of the key issues there is the failure by the Irish Data Protection Commission (DPC) to act on the initial complaint made by Schrems seven years ago.

That matters, because under EU law, Ireland is effectively the data protection agency for the whole of the European Union. Like Facebook, Google too has its European headquarters in Dublin. That means complaints against the company must also be dealt with by Irelandโ€™s DPC. As this blog reported two years ago, just such a complaint was submitted to both the UK and Irish data protection authorities, regarding the use of real-time bidding systems (RTB) by Google. The problem of RTB, and how it goes against core requirements of the EUโ€™s GDPR legislation, was first discussed here three years ago, with updates noting the serious implication for privacy.

The UKโ€™s Information Commission Office published the preliminary results of its investigation into RTB (since paused because of Covid-19) last year, and they didnโ€™t look good for Google. The Irish DPC has been very slow to take action. As a result, one of the people involved in the initial complaint, Johnny Ryan, has released new evidence of how serious the problem is:

Google unveils new real-time threat detection tool from Chronicle

The tool is the culmination of Chronicle's efforts to build a rules engine that can handle complex analytic events, flesh out a new threat detection language tuned for modern attacks and take advantage of the security advantages offered by Google's scale.

Chronicle, a cybersecurity company within Google Cloud, announced a new real-time threat detection tool on Wednesday called Chronicle Detect.

The tool is the culmination of Chronicle's efforts to build a rules engine that can handle complex analytic events, flesh out a new threat detection language tuned for modern attacks and take advantage of the security advantages offered by Google's scale. Additionally, Chronicle Detect is designed to make it easy for enterprises to move from legacy security tools, or to better analyze data collected with endpoint security solutions like CrowdStrike.

"We see this as giving customers the tools they need not only investigate things at Google scale, but also to attack those things early enough in ways they couldn't do before," Rick Caccia, head of marketing for Google Cloud Security, said to ZDNet. "It allows our customers to write rules that describe behaviors of attackers, and we can detect those things at massive scale, and do it in real time."

Chronicle Detect customers can use advanced out-of-the-box rules or build their own, or migrate rules over from legacy tools. The rules engine incorporates YARA, a widely used, open source language for writing rules to detect malware.
