Social Credit Scoring In China Extends To Foreign Businesses, Creates New Risks
China's Sesame Credit system of scoring Chinese citizens on a code of personal conduct moves up a notch as foreign corporations begin to fall under a similar system.
Beginning next year, compliance will be enforced by China's Ministry of Public Security over access to corporate data housed on Chinese servers.
Foreign companies are being advised to reevaluate their data collection processes in light of this new action. The effect could be a further decoupling of US-China tech and trade activities.
"Foreign companies will have to decide whether it is worth the risk to sell or manufacture in China. This new lead could lead to diversification of supply chains or decoupling," said David Jacobson, who teaches global business strategy at the SMU Cox School of Business and is a visiting professor at Tsinghua University in Beijing.
The new cybersecurity laws give the Chinese government access to files, contracts, copyrights, business strategies and phone records with no permission asked, according to Jacobson. The rules first went into effect in 2018 but compliance was not enforced.
But starting in 2020, China is demanding that businesses collect and feed internal information into a centralized data system. The data will be used to quantify the moral codes of corporations, and the individuals that run them, and reward or punish accordingly.
Corporations will be judged on compliance, bill payments, party support by both management and employees, according to Jacobson. He noted that the representation of Communist Party in Chinese company meetings or as board of director supervisors is becoming "much more pervasive."

Breaking: Visa, Mastercard, eBay, Stripe All Leave Libra
Wow. Within the span of an hour or two, reports have revealed that Facebook’s crypto project, Libra, suffered some heavy blows.
It first started on Friday morning, with the Financial Times revealing that both eBay, the e-commerce/online marketplace giant, and Stripe, a fintech giant, have dropped out of the Libra Association.
Speaking to the outlet, an eBay spokesperson asserted that while the company “respects the vision of Libra”, the American firm will not be moving ahead with its participation in the Association, citing a focus on ” rolling out eBay’s managed payments experience for our customers.”
Stripe made a similar comment, telling the FT that it is “supportive of projects that aim to make online commerce more accessible for people”, but will not be moving forward with the Facebook-backed crypto project at this time.
Within the hour or two after the FT’s revelatory report, both Mastercard and Visa — seen by many in the crypto community to be the Association’s two most important partners — also revealed that they will be rescending their membership. In their own comment, Visa cited Libra’s inability to “fully satisfy all requisite regulatory expectations.”
FIVE household names have pulled out of $LIBRA (Visa, Paypal, Stripe, Ebay, and Mastercard). I doubt they'll be the last.
Regulators are stonewalling it.
Zuck is testifying before Congress Oct. 23rd.
Now you can long/short its chance of even launching: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-07/facebook-skeptics-now-have-derivatives-to-bet-on-libra-delays

„Dopamin“: Miniserie über die Suchtmechanismen von Tinder, Facebook und Co.
„Die tun alles, um dich süchtig zu machen“, heißt es über #Tinder, #Facebook, #CandyCrush, #Instagram, #YouTube, #Snapchat, #Uber und #Twitter in der Miniserie von #Arte. In acht Folgen wird genau erklärt, welche Mechanismen in unserem Gehirn ausgelöst werden, damit wir dranbleiben.
📺 Dopamin - Facebook

📺 Dopamin - Candy Crush
📺 Dopamin - Instagram
📺 Dopamin - YouTube

💡 Eigentlich wissen wir das ja längst:
Candy Crush, Tinder, Facebook und Konsorten sind vor allem eins – Zeitfresser. Trotzdem fällt es uns extrem schwer, das #Smartphone einfach mal links liegen zu lassen und nicht alle paar Minuten zu checken, was es Neues gibt. Zumal das, was uns dann als Neuigkeit präsentiert wird, nur in den seltensten Fällen Nachrichtenwert hat oder uns wirklich weiterbringt. Trotzdem ziehen wir uns seitenweise Tante Monikas Bilder aus Paris rein, schwören, „nur noch ein Level“ bei Candy Crush zu absolvieren, lassen uns von der Autoplay-Funktion in immer abstrusere Untiefen von Youtube entführen und können einfach nicht genug kriegen von niedlichen Katzenfotos auf Instagram. Was stimmt nicht mit uns?

Chinese Citizens Will Have to Scan Their Faces to Get Internet Access and New Phone Numbers
Starting December 1, Chinese citizens will have to allow telecommunications carriers to scan their faces when signing up for internet access or to get a new phone number.
The new rule was announced by China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) on September 27 (link in Chinese). Roughly translated via Google, the statement says the reason for the new changes is to “earnestly safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of citizens in the cyberspace.” On top of requiring carriers to use facial recognition to see whether an applicant matches their ID, people will no longer be able to transfer SIM cards to others. Lastly, MIIT wants carriers to verify whether mobile or landline phones are correctly registered under real names, and terminate those that aren’t. At the end of its statement, MIIT somewhat ominously notes that it will “increase supervision and inspection, strengthen assessment accountability, supervise the implementation of work, [and] continue to strictly promote the real-name registration management of telephone users.”
On the surface, it may not seem bad to cut down on fraud—but the underlying implication is that this gives the Chinese government yet another means of controlling what people say, see, and do online. Registering your face in exchange for internet access just makes it easier to track what you post on social media, and what websites you might frequent. The Chinese government already has a vise-grip on the internet, in which sites like Facebook and Twitter are blocked.
That iron grip also extends to non-Chinese companies. This past week, Apple removed an app used by pro-democracy protestors in Hong Kong in a bid to appease the government, as well as the Quartz news app in China for its coverage of the protests. Earlier this year, Microsoft’s Bing search engine was briefly blocked for unclear reasons. And Google has been developing a censored search engine for China. Codenamed Project Dragonfly, Google’s censored search purportedly blacklists certain search terms dictated by the government but crucially, also ties all searches to specific phone numbers. In July, a top Google exec told the Senate Judiciary Committee that the company has terminated the project but skepticism on how dead the search engine for China really is lives on.

"The urgency of the crisis is now so great that many scientists feel, as humans, that we now have a moral duty to take radical action"
* Climate crisis prompts radical move by scientists
* More than 2,700 activists arrested globally in past week
* Signatories cite 'moral duty' to act (Updates numbers of signatories, adds comment from IPCC author)
LONDON, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Almost 400 scientists have endorsed a civil disobedience campaign aimed at forcing governments to take rapid action to tackle climate change, warning that failure could inflict "incalculable human suffering."
In a joint declaration, climate scientists, physicists, biologists, engineers and others from at least 20 countries broke with the caution traditionally associated with academia to side with peaceful protesters courting arrest from Amsterdam to Melbourne.
Wearing white laboratory coats to symbolise their research credentials, a group of about 20 of the signatories gathered on Saturday to read out the text outside London's century-old Science Museum in the city's upmarket Kensington district.
"We believe that the continued governmental inaction over the climate and ecological crisis now justifies peaceful and non-violent protest and direct action, even if this goes beyond the bounds of the current law," said Emily Grossman, a science broadcaster with a PhD in molecular biology. She read the declaration on behalf of the group.
"We therefore support those who are rising up peacefully against governments around the world that are failing to act proportionately to the scale of the crisis," she said.
The declaration was coordinated by a group of scientists who support Extinction Rebellion, a civil disobedience campaign that formed in Britain a year ago and has since sparked offshoots in dozens of countries.
The group launched a fresh wave of international actions on Monday, aiming to get governments to address an ecological crisis caused by climate change and accelerating extinctions of plant and animal species.
A total of 1,307 volunteers had since been arrested at various protests in London by 2030 GMT on Saturday, Extinction Rebellion said. A further 1,463 volunteers have been arrested in the past week in another 20 cities, including Brussels, Amsterdam, New York, Sydney and Toronto, according to the group's tally. More protests in this latest wave are due in the coming days.
While many scientists have shunned overt political debate, fearing that being perceived as activists might undermine their claims to objectivity, the 395 academics who had signed the declaration by 1100 GMT on Sunday chose to defy convention.
"The urgency of the crisis is now so great that many scientists feel, as humans, that we now have a moral duty to take radical action," Grossman told Reuters.
Other signatories included several scientists who contributed to the U.N.-backed Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which has produced a series of reports underscoring the urgency of dramatic cuts in carbon emissions.
"We can't allow the role of scientists to be to just write papers and publish them in obscure journals and hope somehow that somebody out there will pay attention," Julia Steinberger, an ecological economist at the University of Leeds and a lead IPCC author, told Reuters.
"We need to be rethinking the role of the scientist and engage with how social change happens at a massive and urgent scale," she said. "We can't allow science as usual."
Extinction Rebellion's flag is a stylised symbol of an hourglass in a circle, and its disruptive tactics include peacefully occupying bridges and roads.

Digital dystopia: how algorithms punish the poor
In an exclusive global series, the Guardian lays bare the tech revolution transforming the welfare system worldwide – while penalising the most vulnerable
All around the world, from small-town Illinois in the US to Rochdale in England, from Perth, Australia, to Dumka in northern India, a revolution is under way in how governments treat the poor.
You can’t see it happening, and may have heard nothing about it. It’s being planned by engineers and coders behind closed doors, in secure government locations far from public view.
Only mathematicians and computer scientists fully understand the sea change, powered as it is by artificial intelligence (AI), predictive algorithms, risk modeling and biometrics. But if you are one of the millions of vulnerable people at the receiving end of the radical reshaping of welfare benefits, you know it is real and that its consequences can be serious – even deadly.
The Guardian has spent the past three months investigating how billions are being poured into AI innovations that are explosively recasting how low-income people interact with the state. Together, our reporters in the US, Britain, India and Australia have explored what amounts to the birth of the digital welfare state.
Their dispatches reveal how unemployment benefits, child support, housing and food subsidies and much more are being scrambled online. Vast sums are being spent by governments across the industrialized and developing worlds on automating poverty and in the process, turning the needs of vulnerable citizens into numbers, replacing the judgment of human caseworkers with the cold, bloodless decision-making of machines.
At its most forbidding, Guardian reporters paint a picture of a 21st-century Dickensian dystopia that is taking shape with breakneck speed. The American political scientist Virginia Eubanks has a phrase for it: “The digital poorhouse.”

DeepFake Audio Detection
With the popularity and capabilities of audio deep fakes on the rise, creating defenses against deep fakes used for malicious intent is becoming more important than ever.
We built a fake audio detection model with Foundations Atlas, for anyone to use. If you'd like to read more about why we decided to build this, click here.
Here are two examples of short audio clips in ./data/example_clips/ folder. One of them is real and the other is fake.
This repository provides the code for a fake audio detection model built using Foundations Atlas. It also includes a pre-trained model and inference code, which you can test on any of your own audio files.

Meet America’s newest military giant: Amazon
The Pentagon’s controversial $10bn JEDI cloud computing deal is one of the most lucrative defense contracts ever. Amazon’s in pole position to win—and its move into the military has been a long time coming.
In July, when President Donald Trump was in the Oval Office with the Dutch prime minister, he took a few moments to answer questions from reporters. His comments, in typical fashion, covered disparate subjects—from job creation to the “squad” of congresswomen he attacks regularly to sanctions against Turkey. Then a reporter asked him about an obscure Pentagon contract called JEDI, and whether he planned to intervene in it.
“Which one is that?” Trump asked. “The Amazon?”

Facebook should ban campaign ads. End the lies.
Permitting falsehood in political advertising would work if we had a model democracy, but we don’t. Not only are candidates dishonest, but voters aren’t educated, and the media isn’t objective. And now, hyperlinks turn lies into donations and donations into louder lies. The checks don’t balance. What we face is a self-reinforcing disinformation dystopia.
That’s why if Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and YouTube don’t want to be the arbiters of truth in campaign ads, they should stop selling them. If they can’t be distributed safely, they shouldn’t be distributed at all.
No one wants historically untrustworthy social networks becoming the honesty police, deciding what’s factual enough to fly. But the alternative of allowing deception to run rampant is unacceptable. Until voter-elected officials can implement reasonable policies to preserve truth in campaign ads, the tech giants should go a step further and refuse to run them.
This problem came to a head recently when Facebook formalized its policy of allowing politicians to lie in ads and refusing to send their claims to third-party fact-checkers. “We don’t believe, however, that it’s an appropriate role for us to referee political debates and prevent a politician’s speech from reaching its audience and being subject to public debate and scrutiny,” Facebook’s VP of Policy Nick Clegg wrote.
The Trump campaign was already running ads with false claims about Democrats trying to repeal the Second Amendment and weeks-long scams about a “midnight deadline” for a contest to win the one-millionth MAGA hat.
After the announcement, Trump’s campaign began running ads smearing potential opponent Joe Biden with widely debunked claims about his relationship with Ukraine. Facebook, YouTube and Twitter refused to remove the ad when asked by Biden.
In response to the policy, Elizabeth Warren is running ads claiming Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg endorses Trump because it’s allowing his campaign lies. She’s continued to press Facebook on the issue, stating “you can be in the disinformation-for-profit business, or you can hold yourself to some standards.”

“BriansClub” Hack Rescues 26M Stolen Cards
“BriansClub,” one of the largest underground stores for buying stolen credit card data, has itself been hacked. The data stolen from BriansClub encompasses more than 26 million credit and debit card records taken from hacked online and brick-and-mortar retailers over the past four years, including almost eight million records uploaded to the shop in 2019 alone.
Last month, KrebsOnSecurity was contacted by a source who shared a plain text file containing what was claimed to be the full database of cards for sale both currently and historically through BriansClub[.]at, a thriving fraud bazaar named after this author. Imitating my site, likeness and namesake, BriansClub even dubiously claims a copyright with a reference at the bottom of each page: “© 2019 Crabs on Security.”
Multiple people who reviewed the database shared by my source confirmed that the same credit card records also could be found in a more redacted form simply by searching the BriansClub Web site with a valid, properly-funded account.
All of the card data stolen from BriansClub was shared with multiple sources who work closely with financial institutions to identify and monitor or reissue cards that show up for sale in the cybercrime underground.
The leaked data shows that in 2015, BriansClub added just 1.7 million card records for sale. But business would pick up in each of the years that followed: In 2016, BriansClub uploaded 2.89 million stolen cards; 2017 saw some 4.9 million cards added; 2018 brought in 9.2 million more.
Between January and August 2019 (when this database snapshot was apparently taken), BriansClub added roughly 7.6 million cards.
Most of what’s on offer at BriansClub are “dumps,” strings of ones and zeros that — when encoded onto anything with a magnetic stripe the size of a credit card — can be used by thieves to purchase electronics, gift cards and other high-priced items at big box stores.
As shown in the table below (taken from this story), many federal hacking prosecutions involving stolen credit cards will for sentencing purposes value each stolen card record at $500, which is intended to represent the average loss per compromised cardholder.

Darknet platform for child porn: Investigators arrest 337 users
A playground for pedophiles, perverts and criminals: this is how US justice describes a platform for child pornography that has now been excavated.
South Korean National and Hundreds of Others Charged Worldwide in the Takedown of the Largest Darknet Child Pornography Website, Which was Funded by Bitcoin
Dozens of Minor Victims Who Were Being Actively Abused by the Users of the Site Rescued
Jong Woo Son, 23, a South Korean national, was indicted by a federal grand jury in the District of Columbia for his operation of Welcome To Video, the largest child sexual exploitation market by volume of content. The nine-count indictment was unsealed today along with a parallel civil forfeiture action. Son has also been charged and convicted in South Korea and is currently in custody serving his sentence in South Korea. An additional 337 site users residing in Alabama, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington State and Washington, D.C. as well as the United Kingdom, South Korea, Germany, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the Czech Republic, Canada, Ireland, Spain, Brazil and Australia have been arrested and charged.
Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division, U.S. Attorney Jessie K. Liu for the District of Columbia, Chief Don Fort of IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) and Acting Executive Associate Director Alysa Erichs of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), made the announcement.
“Darknet sites that profit from the sexual exploitation of children are among the most vile and reprehensible forms of criminal behavior,” said Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division. “This Administration will not allow child predators to use lawless online spaces as a shield. Today’s announcement demonstrates that the Department of Justice remains firmly committed to working closely with our partners in South Korea and around the world to rescue child victims and bring to justice the perpetrators of these abhorrent crimes.”
“Children around the world are safer because of the actions taken by U.S. and foreign law enforcement to prosecute this case and recover funds for victims,” said U.S. Attorney Jessie K. Liu. “We will continue to pursue such criminals on and off the darknet in the United States and abroad, to ensure they receive the punishment their terrible crimes deserve.”

Share-Online service offline since 16 October 2019 hours
Investigations by GVU lead to concerted action against largest hosters of illegal media content in Germany - Focus on Public Prosecutor's Office and Police search residential and business premises in Germany, France and the Netherlands - GVU accompanied entire proceedings
Berlin/Cologne, 17.10.2019 It has been clear since yesterday that even filehosters are not unassailable. On Wednesday, 16 October 2019 at around 2 p.m., the Internet offering of Share-Online.biz, the largest file hosting service aimed at the German-speaking market, was shut down by cyber crimes specialists from the Cologne public prosecutor's office and the Aachen police headquarters. This unprecedented procedure was initiated by GVU, whose employees filed a criminal complaint against the operators of the service as early as 2017 and have been continuously supporting the authorities ever since. Where previously all criminal and civil law approaches of various actors seemed to run nowhere, GVU was now able to achieve a groundbreaking success for its members and the creative industries as a whole.
In Germany, residential and business premises were searched in several federal states, and further raids took place in France and a Dutch computer centre. Extensive evidence was secured. The allegation against three defendants aged 40, 48 and 54 is that they have assisted the commercial exploitation of copyrighted works in a large number of cases. At Share-Online.biz, millions of files were hosted on several hundred servers and between six and ten million visitors visited the site every month. In 2017, a single service provider commissioned by GVU sent more than eight million deletion requests to the operators of Share-online.biz as part of the GVU takedown project to have unlicensed content removed. The service appeared to be cooperative, but all content was available again shortly after the supposed deletion. The GVU was able to make the findings and data gained from the takedown project directly available to the lead public prosecutor's office in order to substantiate the accusation of aiding and abetting commercial copyright infringement. In addition, the state investigators were proactively supported by GVU staff through specific analyses and precisely documented test downloads.

Mind-reading technology is everyone's next big security nightmare
While the hardware can be made as secure as possible, turning our thoughts into a digital form will put them at risk just like any other data.
Technology allowing our thoughts and feelings to be translated into a digital form – and shared – is already a reality. Brain computer interfaces (BCI) allow us to connect our minds to computers for some limited purposes, and big tech companies including Facebook and many startups want to make this technology commonplace.

World stumbling zombie-like into a digital welfare dystopia, warns UN human rights expert
NEW YORK (17 October 2019) – A UN human rights expert has expressed concerns about the emergence of the "digital welfare state", saying that all too often the real motives behind such programs are to slash welfare spending, set up intrusive government surveillance systems and generate profits for private corporate interests.
"As humankind moves, perhaps inexorably, towards the digital welfare future it needs to alter course significantly and rapidly to avoid stumbling zombie-like into a digital welfare dystopia,".
