Naivety in the Digital Age?

Naivety in the Digital Age? | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

. Naivety in the Digital Age means not realizing and accepting the dangers of the Internet, the ignorance of the need to secure its computer and any other device connecting to the Internet (smartphones + TV, fridge …), having no clue about Cyber-Security and people who think that Internet-Safety ALONE is enough!

 

===> Naif means ALSO thinking that a certain Operating System is secure and perfect! Nobody is perfect: <===

For DHS, Cybersecurity Education Begins in Kindergarten
By Melanie Hunter

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano delivers a speech at George Washington University on January 27, 2011 (Photo: DHS)

(CNSNews.com) – In a blog on the Department of Homeland Security website, Secretary Janet Napolitano said her department is working to:

 

===> develop the next generation of leaders in cybersecurity beginning in kindergarten. <===

 

 

“At DHS, we’re working to develop the next generation of leaders in cybersecurity while fostering an environment for talented staff to grow in this field. We are building strong cybersecurity career paths within the Department, and in partnership with other government agencies,” the secretary said.

 

DHS also sponsors the U.S. Cyber Challenge, she said, “a program that works with academia and the private sector to identify and develop the best and brightest cyber talent to meet our nation’s growing and changing security needs.”

Mobile Devices: The Gateway for Hackers to Your Digital Identity

Mobile Devices: The Gateway for Hackers to Your Digital Identity | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

While it is widely understood that mobile devices are more than just phones – they are a lifeline to the outside world, entertainment platform, GPS system, little black book and a shopping and banking tool – it’s lesser known that these devices are also gateways. Mobile devices can be used by a hacker as an access point into many other aspects of your digital life as well the lives of others in your network, making mobile security about more than just protecting your phone.


Hackers can use your mobile device as an access point to data that have historically been exclusively stored to your laptop or desktop, such as social network and bank accounts. One of the most harmful (and popular) mobile threats has to do with apps. Installing apps from unknown or untrusted sources like apps outside the official Google Play Market could allow hackers to steal sensitive and private information stored on your mobile device including passwords, photos, contacts and location data.

Critical Thinking: "While it is widely understood that mobile devices are more than just phones", really!?? Most people still think that it is ONLY a phone, but in reality it is a mini computer with phone capabilities! And any computer is vulnerable and at risk!!!

Du PIN d’accès trop court à l’absence de gestion de ces codes d’accès, sans oublier la réutilisation des clefs de chiffrement, le mauvais stockage des « link keys », les demandes d’authentification répétitives, les clefs « partagées » etc… Le club des fans de Thierry Zoller et de son BTCrack retrouvera là tout ce qui se dit et se répète depuis des années.

Cyber attacks a threat to internet efficiency

Cyber attacks a threat to internet efficiency | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

On 4 November, Neelie Kroes Commissioner responsible for the Digital Agenda stressed the threat of cyber-security hacking for the efficiency of Internet Services. “Incidents (also linked to human mistakes) and attacks are clearly on the rise…the number of web based attacks went up 36% in the year 2011.”

 

During his speech in the Information Security Forum Conference in Chicago, Kroes urged for bringing cyber security in the top of the political agenda. Acknowledging that most of the cyber networks and infrastructures are privately owned, the Commissioner recognised the limited role of the public authorities.

Cybercrime is a Global Problem; Increasingly Social and Mobile (2012 Norton Cybercrime Report) : It's Not A Con | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

The Norton Cybercrime Report is out for 2012! Cybercrime continues to have far-reaching effects and is increasingly a problem on mobile devices and in our social networks (where we seem to be less vigilant).

 

After surveying more than 13,000 consumers in 24 countries, the researchers found that the numbers of online adults increased by 20% from last year, and that cybercrime impacted just under &frac12; of them in the previous 12 months.

At DHS, we’re working to develop the next generation of leaders in cybersecurity while fostering an environment for talented staff to grow in this field.

 

We are building strong cybersecurity career paths within the Department, and in partnership with other government agencies. We are also creating training and development opportunities to retain our most talented employees and ensure their professional development. In collaboration with the National Security Agency, we are strengthening the nation’s educational infrastructure by supporting Centers of Academic Excellence across the country.

 

In addition, we are extending the scope of cyber education beyond the federal workplace through the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education, involving students from kindergarten through post-graduate school.

 

And we sponsor the U.S. Cyber Challenge, a program that works with academia and the private sector to identify and develop the best and brightest cyber talent to meet our nation’s growing and changing security needs.

Learning basics of Cybersecurity: Bluetooth technology and mobile phones - the risks

Attacks on Bluetooth-enabled devices can take place within a distance of 10 metres or more. Stay safe by installing firewalls and Kaspersky mobile phone antivirus software.

As many as three-quarters of mobile phone users are not aware of the internet security risks linked to Bluetooth-equipped devices. These risks come in four main guises:

 

- Bluejacking is when anonymous text messages are sent to mobile phones


- Bluespamming is when a phone’s contacts are secretly sent text messages


- Bluesnarfing is when hackers gain access to a mobile phone’s contacts


- Bluebugging is when hackers have access to a handset’s commands


While each of these risks is a nuisance, bluesnarfing and bluebugging are particularly serious. With bluesnarfing, hackers can gain access to stored data, such as a phonebook, calendar or to clone a phone.
