Comment After asking WTF are y'all talking about? (Score 1) 70

I looked at Stanford, MIT, Wikipedia... for "Internet Access Provider (IAP)" "Internet Service Provider (ISP)" both existed as separate concepts in the 1990s.

Now everyone is confused unless they see physical objects. Business/Capitalism loves to confuse all humanity and erase what scientists and engineers made clear initially. A service can't be physical; IOW, a service ain't a physical product, and products cannot be teleported; Hence, infrastructure...

ARPA/DARPA Internet physical Infrastructure.

WTF are y'all talking about? [Services/Traffic on "OR" Access to infrastructure?]

Note from an old guy, ISP and IAP ain't the same.
Service "S" and Access "A" ain't the same.

Simple Explanation:
W3/LAN Services [eMail, Banking, Streaming, Shopping, Twitter...] use W3C... standards/protocols....
Internet Access [ATT, Verison...] use ITU... standards/protocols....

World Wide Web "Services" on the W3 provide virtual Internet Access.
Telecommunications Internet "Access" is all the physical Infrastructure.

Submission + - Chinese Unis Linked to Hacking Groups Are Conducting AI Cybersecurity Research (therecord.media)

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: At least six major Chinese universities with previous connections to government-backed hacking groups have been conducting research on the intersection of cybersecurity and machine learning. In a paper titled “Academics, AI, and APTs,” the Center for Security and Emerging Technology at Georgetown University warns that the research conducted today in these Chinese universities today could soon be integrated into the techniques used by Chinese state-sponsored hackers (APTs). These universities have past connections to Chinese hacking groups, which have often recruited operators from the staff or student base, which the CSET team sees as an informal partnership.

“These partnerships, themselves a case study in military-civil fusion, allow state-sponsored hackers to quickly move research from the lab to the field,” said Dakota Cary, the author of the CSET research. The six universities studied in their report include Hainan University, Southeast University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Xidian University, Zhejiang University, and the Harbin Institute of Technology.

https://www.law.columbia.edu/news/archive/tim-wu-center-net-neutrality-debate

"Wu, the Isidor and Seville Sulzbacher Professor of Law, coined the term “network neutrality” back in 2002 to describe the concept that internet service providers should treat all data on the Internet the same and not block, speed up or slow down traffic based on paid prioritization or other preferences. In 2015, the FCC adopted rules that made net neutrality the law of the land."

The U$A governance of the USA has put #AllOfUS last in priority. Look at USA State Of Union (Education, Infrastructure, Science, Medicine, Communities, Industry, Economics, Finances...). U$A pays for QAnon (Question Answer nonsense) agitprop and MSM/SM pseudo-news.

Microsoft is a plague on US. Many 1980s software companies (with better products) were choked out of existence by U$A laws and Microsoft, Oracle.... The only platforms/companies that produce and use the most secure innovative and advanced software are Open Source Software and Open Agile economic models (Look at RedHat Enterprise Software, Apache Web-Servers, Google, Apple...). Microsoft, Oracle... have always made security by obscurity (gaslight), politics/laws... very profitable and exhaustively excusable.

Does China has a very large Microsoft software development center? Does China have Microsoft sourcecode in an "escrow" account? How often does Microsoft use others' innovative and advanced software products as R&D for products, copyright...? ...?

Microsoft is not alone. Which company (when) sold/gave China, USA rocketry telemetry technology for space launches?

Over the last +30y I have read about so many USA security failures that are always paved with (patriotic, religious, economic...) greed.

IOW: What is good for the U$A ain't good for All Of US. U$A W/PAC greed and lack of accountability are the greatest security threats to the USA.

Submission + - Ruskies hacked Malwarebytes... but no joy (thank goodness....) (bloomberg.com)

Submitted by krakman
krakman writes: In addition to trying just about any domain under the sun in an effort to infiltrate US networks, Russians are suspected of hacking into Malwarebytes... yet are not thought to have done anything to the Malwarebytes program.
Suspected Russian hackers targeted the cybersecurity company Malwarebytes Inc. in the course of a sprawling cyber-attack that targeted U.S. government agencies and companies.

The attacker “abused applications with privileged access to Microsoft Office 365 and Azure environments,” according to a Tuesday blog post by Chief Executive Officer Marcin Kleczynski. He said the attack was part of the same hacking campaign that has utilized infected software from SolarWinds Corp. to target other organizations.

“After an extensive investigation, we determined the attacker only gained access to a limited subset of internal company emails. We found no evidence of unauthorized access or compromise in any of our internal on-premises and production environments,” the company said in the blog. ( https://blog.malwarebytes.com/ )

The National Guard of DC is the only military unit under the direct command of the President. POTUS did not deploy the National Guard to protect the Congress. Trump did not use his Twitter feed to ask the rioters to disperse.
