CISA Releases Guidance Urging Water Treatment Facilities to Disconnect Equipment From the Internet

CISA released an urgent message warning water utilities to disconnect their logic controllers from the internet in the face of rising cyberattacks. The hacks target internet-facing programmable logic controllers (PLCs) that control equipment and allow machinery to communicate. They monitor and control the water pressure, chemical dosing, and other factors to ensure the water is safe. Many of the PLCs are apparently open to the internet and use default credentials, allowing a remote attacker to easily take them over. I assume it is this CISA: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybersecurity_and_Infrastructure_Security_Agency

This is a great distillation of some important points about risk, cybersecurity, and the NIST CSF. If your work touches on any of those, this is worth a read. https://cyberriskbook.com/ai-wont-save-you-from-weak-cybersecurity-fundamentals/ #cybersecurity #risk #NIST

The word undermine here makes it sound like the Algorithms are "winning" and not that humans have an inherent weakness that is being exploited. #Risk only exists (is the product) in the presence of #threat (#AI) and #vulnerability / weakness

https://larssona.substack.com/p/snatching-victory-from-the-jaws-of (defeat) 'Going back to our roots 'I am very lucky to have played a small part in a successful people-powered resistance movement, and it has informed my thinking as a campaigner ever since. 'In #Aotearoa New Zealand, the current right-wing government reversed our country’s historic ban on offshore #oil and #gas #exploration shortly after coming to power. They even went so far as to introduce fresh #subsidies to lure #fossil fuel giants back to New Zealand waters. 'And do you know how many oil giants have packed their bags and rushed back to drill? 'Zero. 'Why? Because the #grassroots and #Indigenous-led #resistance that won the political ban in the first place didn’t just change the law - they changed the culture. They created a permanent, hostile #risk profile. Oil companies now look at New Zealand and realise their social license is completely dead. The financial and reputational risk of fighting an organised public is simply too high. 'So, while #politicians give the #industry a green light, the people block the path.'

Farmers, scientists aim to manage risks of nitrogen fertilizer Researchers at the University of Regina and the University of Saskatchewan tested the urea fertilizer, which helps feed two-thirds of the global population. After adding it to farm ponds, they found the product degraded water quality and is a widespread threat to freshwater sources. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/farmers-scientists-aim-to-manage-risks-of-nitrogen-fertilizer-9.7170658?cmp=rss

Switzerland Ends #Palantir Contract Over #Data #Sovereignty Risks - #Cybersecurity

#Switzerland’s decision to discontinue the use of Palantir is not a #technology story.

  • It's a #risk management story. The platform was not rejected because it failed to perform. On the contrary, it delivered advanced data fusion and operational insight.

It was rejected because the residual sovereignty risk was considered unacceptable.

“Who Is The Real Risk Here?” by Liz Loh-Taylor in Bearing Witness on Substack @palestine@fedibird.com @Palestine@masto.ai @palestine@lemmy.ml @iran “Western leaders keep repeating the same demand. Iran must cease uranium enrichment. Zero. No exceptions. At the same time, Israel is allowed to retain an undeclared nuclear arsenal, refuse inspections, ignore treaties, and expand military aggression across the region without consequence. If this were genuinely about nuclear risk, that position would collapse under even minimal scrutiny. So the only honest way to assess the claim is by looking at the record. Law. Behaviour. Sequence. Precedent” https://open.substack.com/pub/lizlohtaylor/p/who-is-the-real-risk-here #Press #SocialMedia #Iran #Israel #Risk #Nuclear #Bomb #US #Israel #Trump

BREAKING: Hackers breached Claude. Stole 150GB Mexican government data. 195 million records. Tax authority. Electoral institute. Four states. All gone. How? Told Claude it was a bug bounty. Claude refused. Hackers kept asking. Claude complied. No exploits. No server hacks. Just persistence. Pentagon wants to remove safety restrictions for autonomous weapons. If hackers can talk Claude into stealing 195M records, what can they talk it into killing? #Hacked #AI #Risk https://newsgroup.site/%d1%85%d0%b0%d0%ba%d0%b5%d1%80%d0%b8-%d0%b7%d0%bb%d0%b0%d0%bc%d0%b0%d0%bb%d0%b8-claude-%d1%96-%d0%b2%d0%ba%d1%80%d0%b0%d0%bb%d0%b8-195-%d0%bc%d0%bb%d0%bd-%d0%b7%d0%b0%d0%bf%d0%b8%d1%81%d1%96%d0%b2/
