Hey!! This AU seems cool! Could you please link the ao3 books? I can’t find them :(

Here! All the books.

[neon-entity]

Have you ever thought about making an AU for the game High on Life?

I already have, kind of! My OCs exist in a timeline and universe very similar to the game canon. There are a few differences and addendums though!

Jolene was the former G3 Head of Information Technology. She left the Cartel before the events of the first game however, with Mulder taking her place. As to why, Garmantuous wanted someone with a background in hacking and cyberattacks as opposed to Jolene, who was more concerned with protecting the G3 from data breaches and cybersecurity in general.

Douglas ends up surviving the encounter with the bounty hunter, albeit in a comatose state. Mulder takes him into hiding and cares for him until he is stable once more, and the two proceed to wreak havoc. 😈

I also haven't decided if Kenny getting dropped is going to happen or not. However, if he does get dropped, he will definitely survive and come back later on. And yes, lots of angst will insue :<

Your singji assassin/spy au... 😵‍💫 Please do share some more when you are free 😊(like headcanons)

I'm so glad you asked because I wrote the outline for the plot a couple of months ago so I have a lot of it to share.

- Siyeon is a more behind the scenes agent in her agency. She does a lot of cyberattacks and draining people's accounts rather than kills but when she is on the field her aim when she's sniping has never failed her. Minji is more of a hands on type of girl and when someone is sent to kill her it only makes it more fun.

- Nobody knows why Siyeon is Minji's new favourite toy to play with since it doesn't benefit her at all but Minji has been bored of all the uncreative ways people have tried to take her out plus Siyeon is cute.

- Siyeon didn't tell her agency what the plan to the operation was so when she all of a sudden proposed to Minji they sent out an agent to kill her. She disposed of them quietly while Minji accepted her proposal.

- Singji have kind of a morbid sense of humour. They both found it really funny how the chairs for their late parents were both empty at their wedding. What a coincidence.

- Siyeon has atleast two men buried in their garden. Minji knows this yet still insists that they should plant a flower garden. Siyeon can't just tell her that their neighbours are directly below them so she goes along with it.

LockBit Ransomware Group Claims Responsibility for Cannes Hospital Cyberattack

The group known as LockBit ransomware has reportedly admitted to orchestrating the recent cyberattack on the Cannes Simone Veil Hospital Center (Centre Hospitalier de Cannes), previously identified as the Broussailles Hospital. Named in honor of former French health minister Simone Veil, the hospital provides a range of patient services, including anesthesia, surgery, ENT, ophthalmology, dentistry, mental health, and senior care. Despite swift implementation of rigorous containment protocols by the hospital, ongoing inquiries have yet to uncover indications of data breach or direct affiliations with specific threat actor organizations. Following the cyberattack, healthcare workers resorted to using pen, paper, and manual methods to sustain critical medical services like emergency care, surgery, obstetrics, and pediatrics for patients. Telephony services remained unaffected. Despite weeks passing since the incident, the facility still displays a notice regarding the cybersecurity breach. The notice indicates ongoing investigations by hospital staff in collaboration with experts from ANSSI, Cert Santé, Orange CyberDéfense, and GHT06. These occurrences underscore the vulnerability of the healthcare system to cyberattacks, with potential adverse impacts on patient health, staff operations, and morale. The hospital has issued the following statement - https://www.ch-cannes.fr/actualites/une-cyber-attaque-en-cours-au-sein-du-centre-hospitalier-de-cannes-simone-veil/? Read the full article

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/dataleach-a-diy-zfs-backup-strategy-for-tech-savvy-users-technology-org/

DataLeach: A DIY ZFS Backup Strategy for Tech-Savvy Users - Technology Org

In today’s data-driven world, safeguarding your digital assets is crucial. From cherished memories captured in photos to critical documents for work, our devices hold a treasure trove of information. A robust backup strategy is your lifeline in case of unforeseen circumstances like accidental deletion, hardware failure, or even cyberattacks.

DataLeach emerges as a unique option in the backup landscape. This ZFS-based strategy offers a powerful, user-configurable approach to data protection. But is it the perfect solution for everyone? Let’s delve into the heart of DataLeach, exploring its core principles, implementation details, and potential drawbacks to help you decide if it’s the right fit for your needs.

The Power of ZFS: The Bedrock of DataLeach

DataLeach leverages the robust capabilities of ZFS, a file system renowned for its advanced features like data integrity verification, snapshots, and built-in redundancy mechanisms. These features make ZFS a compelling foundation for a reliable backup strategy. Here’s a breakdown of how ZFS empowers DataLeach:

Data Integrity Verification: ZFS utilizes checksums, a mathematical fingerprint, to verify the consistency of your data. This ensures that your backups haven’t become corrupted over time, a crucial element for reliable data recovery.

Snapshots: ZFS allows capturing “snapshots” of your data at specific points in time. These snapshots act as frozen copies, providing a safety net in case of data loss. You can easily restore files from a relevant snapshot to recover from accidental deletions or even malware attacks.

Redundancy: ZFS offers features like RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) that utilizes multiple storage disks. This redundancy ensures that even if one disk fails, your data remains intact on the remaining drives, protecting your information from hardware failures.

The DataLeach Workflow: Balancing Automation and Control

DataLeach advocates for a two-tiered backup approach, catering to both frequent and less frequent data protection needs:

Frequent Local Backups: Leveraging ZFS snapshots, DataLeach facilitates frequent backups stored locally on your primary storage device. These readily accessible backups are ideal for quick recovery scenarios like accidental deletions or minor data corruptions.

Less Frequent Remote Sync: DataLeach advocates for synchronizing less frequent backups with a separate remote location, such as a cloud storage service. This offsite storage offers an additional layer of protection against catastrophic events like hardware failure, theft, or natural disasters.

The beauty of DataLeach lies in its focus on user control with a touch of automation. Developers provide scripts and tools to automate the backup process, minimizing manual intervention. However, a fundamental understanding of ZFS and scripting languages might be beneficial for troubleshooting potential issues or customizing the setup.

Benefits of Embracing DataLeach

Here’s a glimpse into the advantages of employing DataLeach for your backup strategy:

Cost-Effective: DataLeach leverages free and open-source tools like ZFS, making it an attractive option for budget-conscious users.

Reliable Recovery: ZFS features like snapshots and data integrity checks ensure the reliable restoration of your lost or corrupted data.

Scalability: DataLeach adapts to various storage capacities. You can expand your local storage for frequent backups or utilize more extensive cloud storage for less frequent archives as your data needs evolve.

Automation Potential: Scripts and tools help automate the backup process, minimizing the risk of human error and ensuring a consistent backup routine.

Potential Considerations Before You Dive In

While DataLeach offers a compelling solution, it’s essential to be aware of its limitations:

Technical Knowledge: Setting up and managing DataLeach requires some technical understanding of ZFS, command lines, and potentially scripting languages. Users comfortable with basic command-line operations and scripting will find DataLeach more manageable.

Performance Impact: Frequent local backups can impact system performance, especially on resource-constrained devices. Balancing the frequency of local backups with available system resources is crucial.

Security for Remote Backups: Securing your remote backups is paramount. Ensure you choose a reputable cloud storage service that offers robust security features like encryption to safeguard your sensitive data.

Understanding Snapshots: Restoring data from snapshots might require some knowledge about the specific snapshot you intend to use. Improper snapshot selection could lead to unintended consequences, restoring data you didn’t intend to.

DataLeach vs Traditional Backup Solutions

DataLeach presents a unique alternative to traditional backup solutions like commercial backup software or simple file copying. Here’s a comparative outlook:

[b2bcybersecurity]

Unveränderlicher Speicher schützt vor Attacken

Eine Umfrage unter Cybersecurity-Experten aus Unternehmen mit mehr als 1.000 Mitarbeitern bestätigt, dass mit 46 Prozent fast die Hälfte der Befragten glaubt, dass generative KI die Angriffsanfälligkeit ihres Unternehmens erhöht. Dieser Trend scheint bereits in vollem Gange, denn 75 Prozent der Befragten bestätigten, dass sie eine Zunahme der Angriffe im Vergleich zum Vorjahr beobachten – 85 Prozent führen diesen Anstieg auf den Einsatz generativer KI durch Cyberkriminelle zurück. Mit generativer KI haben die Cyberbetrüger noch mehr Möglichleiten, sich flexibel anzupassen, mit komplexen Taktiken herkömmliche Datenschutzlösungen zu umgehen und den IT-Experten in Unternehmen das Leben zusätzlich schwer zu gestalten. Der beste Weg diesen Risiken zu begegnen ist eine mehrschichtige Verteidigungsstrategie, zu deren Kernkomponenten der unveränderliche Speicher zählt. Steigende Bedrohung durch KI Traditionelle Cybersicherheitsmaßnahmen wie Firewalls und Antivirensoftware stützen sich auf bekannte Bedrohungsmuster, um Daten zu schützen. Einige der Security-Lösungen setzen zusätzlich auf KI, um den Schutz maßgeblich zu verbessern. Aber gleichzeitig hat der Fortschritt auch bei Cyberkriminellen Einzug gehalten, denn sie benutzen ebenfalls KI-Modelle, um immer schneller immer mehr neue Sicherheitsbedrohungen zu entwickeln. Mit diesen können sie große Datenmengen analysieren, Schwachstellen finden, Sicherheitsmaßnahmen umgehen oder sogar scheinbar vertrauensvolles Netzwerkverhalten zu imitieren. Ein Hacker könnte mit KI beispielsweise die Reaktion eines Netzwerks auf unterschiedliche Eindringversuche analysieren, aus dieser Analyse lernen und im Anschluss eine Angriffsmethode entwickeln, die mit größerer Wahrscheinlichkeit erfolgreich ist. Mehrschichtiger Ansatz Eine gute Sicherheitsstrategie baut immer auf mehreren Verteidigungsschichten auf, welche insbesondere auch die Resilienz der Datensicherung gegen Angriffe stärken. Denn das Backup ist die letzte Verteidigungslinie, sollten die vorgelagerten Security-Maßnahmen bei einem Angriff nicht greifen. Arcserve beispielsweise hat in seine Datensicherungslösung mit der Integration von Sophos Intercept X Advanced für Server eine zusätzliche Schutzschicht integriert. Diese kombiniert signaturbasierte sowie signaturlose Malware-Erkennung, einschließlich eines neuronalen Netzwerks, das Deep-Learning-KI verwendet, um Angriffe zu stoppen. Im Falle einer Cyberattacke nimmt unveränderlicher Speicher eine besondere Rolle ein. Wenn Daten unveränderbar sind und damit durch Ransomware nicht verschlüsselt werden können, ist „Immutable Storage“ ein wirkungsvoller und zugleich erschwinglicher Ansatz. Bei diesem Ansatz können Unternehmen bei einem „erfolgreichen“ Angriff auf ihre Backups zurückgreifen und müssen die hohen Lösegeldsummen für die Entschlüsselung der wertvollen Daten nicht fürchten. Sicherer Speicher Backups auf unveränderlichem Speicher werden als einmalig beschreibbares und mehrfach lesbares Objekt formatiert. Nach dem Speichern – vor Ort oder in der Cloud mit Lösungen wie Amazon S3 Object Lock – können diese Backups weder versehentlich noch absichtlich gelöscht oder überschrieben werden. Damit sichern Unternehmen die entscheidende letzte Verteidigungslinie, auf die sie sich sogar bei KI-gesteuerten Angriffen verlassen können. Für die Cloud-Datensicherung bietet die Arcserve Unified Data Protection (UDP) eine Datensicherung einschließlich unveränderlicher Speicherung, für eine skalierbare Onsite- und Offsite-Geschäftskontinuität. Die Zunahme von KI-gesteuerten Cyberangriffen stellt für IT-Profis eine gewaltige Herausforderung dar. Daher ist der umfassende Ansatz für die Datensicherung von entscheidender Bedeutung. Dieser beginnt mit Maßnahmen zur Cybersicherheit und endet mit unveränderlichen Backups, die eine Wiederherstellung gewährleisten. Diese mehrschichtige Strategie ist unerlässlich für den Schutz gegen klassische und KI-unterstütze Cyberangriffe und zur Aufrechterhaltung der Geschäftskontinuität.     Passende Artikel zum Thema   Lesen Sie den ganzen Artikel

Der Wellness-Tourismus boomt, was steckt hinter dem Trend?

Wir leben in einer hektischen Zeit, und die Menschen suchen immer häufiger nach Möglichkeiten, dem Alltagsstress zu entkommen. Kein Wunder also, dass der Wellness-Tourismus boomt. Prognosen gehen davon aus, dass es zu einer Zunahme von 21 Prozent bis 2025 in diesem Tourismusbereich kommen wird. Erfahre, was alles hinter dem Trend steckt.

Was ist unter Wellness-Tourismus zu verstehen?

Wellness-Tourismus bedeutet, dass du bewusste eine Reise unternimmst, die darauf abzielt, durch bestimmte Aktivitäten und Erfahrungen dein allgemeines Wohlbefinden zu verbessern. Das können zum Beispiel Wellness-Hotels sein, in denen du dich täglich mehreren Behandlungen unterziehst, oder Meditationsretreats, die der täglichen Meditation gewidmet sind. Das Ziel ist es, deine Gesundheit mental und/oder körperlich zu verbessern und dem Druck des Alltags eine Zeit lang zu entfliehen. Eine Studie unter AOK-Mitgliedern ergab, dass sich Fälle von Arbeitsunfähigkeit aufgrund von Burn-out-Erkrankungen in Deutschland in den Jahren 2004 bis 2021 beinahe verdreifacht haben. Die Corona-Pandemie in den letzten drei Jahren hat ebenfalls zu diesem Trend beigetragen, da viele Leute in dieser Zeit gar nicht oder nur begrenzt reisen konnten und unter den mentalen Folgen der Pandemie litten. Der Trend zum Wellnessurlaub hat inzwischen auch die junge Generation erreicht. Antrieb erhält diese Entwicklung durch die sozialen Medien, allen voran TikTok und Instagram, wo Influencer einen erheblichen Einfluss auf die Follower haben können. Sie prägen gewisse Präferenzen wie eine bestimmte Ernährungsform (zum Beispiel vegane oder vegetarische Ernährung), die ebenfalls als Teil eines Wellnessurlaubs angeboten wird. Zudem spielt Nachhaltigkeit eine wichtige Rolle, sodass naturnahe Angebote großen Anklang finden, die das Zusammenspiel von Gesundheit und Natur in den Fokus stellen. Statt in die großen Städte der Welt verlagert sich der Urlaub in die Natur, fernab vom alltäglichen Stress der Stadt. Besonders sogenannte Retreats finden häufig fernab statt. Die meisten Menschen werden ihren Wellnessurlaub online buchen, vor allem, um Geld zu sparen. Denn eine Studie ergab, dass sich jeder Fünfte keinen Urlaub leisten kann. Daher werden viele im Internet nach Schnäppchen suchen. Dabei werden Maßnahmen zur eigenen Cybersicherheit immer wichtiger; schließlich möchtest du vermeiden, bei der Buchung ebenfalls Stress ausgesetzt zu sein und nicht Opfer einer Cyberattacke zu werden. Erfahre, was du beachten solltest, wenn du deinen Wellnessurlaub online buchst.

Stressfrei deinen Wellnessurlaub buchen

Online-Buchungsseiten für Reisen sind zunehmend gefälschte Webseiten. Das bedeutet, Hacker erstellen Buchungsseiten, die mit unschlagbaren Preisen locken können. Beispielsweise könnte die Übernachtung in einem Luxushotel statt 500 Euro pro Nacht nur 100 Euro kosten. Dieses Angebot existiert natürlich nicht wirklich, es dient nur dazu, Daten von dir zu stehlen. Um dich auf diese Seiten zu locken, greifen Betrüger oft auf Phishing zurück. Das bedeutet, sie senden dir eine E-Mail (manchmal auch Textnachricht) und werben darin mit ihrem besonders günstigen Urlaubsangebot. Um das nicht existierende Angebot zu buchen, musst du einen Link in der E-Mail anklicken, der dich auf die besagte Webseite führt. Alternativ kann sich ein Anhang in der Nachricht befinden; die Betrüger könnten behaupten, dass es sich dabei um den Gutschein oder eine Übersicht des Angebots handelt. Öffne niemals solche Anhänge oder klicke auf Links. Als Grundsatz gilt: Wenn etwas zu gut ist, um wahr zu sein, ist es wahrscheinlich ein Betrugsversuch. Nutze darüber hinaus ein Tool zur Cybersicherheit wie ein VPN (Virtuelles Privates Netzwerk), mit dem du deine Daten verschlüsseln kannst und dich privat online bewegst. Viele Anbieter haben eine Funktion zur Anti-Malware integriert, die Malware rechtzeitig erkennen kann, oder das VPN warnt dich vor gefälschten Webseiten. Um auf Nummer sicher zu gehen, solltest du ausschließlich bekannte Buchungsseiten nutzen wie booking.com oder Expedia und rufe sie direkt im Browser auf. Oder aber, du buchst deinen Urlaub in einem klassischen Reisebüro. Damit kannst du gänzlich ausschließen, Opfer einer Cyberattacke zu werden, und erhältst ein Angebot, das noch mehr auf deine Bedürfnisse abgestimmt ist. Titelfoto: geralt / pixabay

little update

I'm very sorry for being so inactive lately. I had big plans for this week now that Universuty had granted me a little pause. There would have come two new installments for the Obikin Senator AU and my debut story on ao3 (which i had waited ages to finally publish, a lot of hardwork from my roomie and me). Now, come the sad news. Most of my work has gone lost due to unfortunate Malware issues because my data storage has become victim to a cyberattack. I don't know how to express my feelings properly because there is so much raging inside. I hope you unverstand how frustrating it can be to loose something you hold to your heart so dearly and have invested hours upon hours into, just to get lost or stolen. It even hurts more to have my roomie, who had no prior writing experience, to not have them be able to harvest the fruits of their work.

I am working on fixing the issue, I am doing my best. Take care of yourself and your data and I hope nothing like that ever happens to you!

Wind of panic at the African Union after a new cyberattack

The thirty sixth abnormal session of the African Union (AU) meeting at the group's headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on February 18, 2023. TONY KARUMBA / AFP Amazement at the headquarters of the African Union (AU) in Addis Ababa. On March 3, ten days after the closing of the annual summit of the group which brings collectively the heads of state of the continent, immediately it's the black display. The pc system collapsed. “A large cyberattack compromised our knowledge middle capabilities and minimize off entry to our providers and purposes”warned on March 7 the Vice-President of the Fee, Monique Nsanzabaganwa, in an inside observe, that The world has procured. The assault instantly paralyzes the establishment's intranet. Monetary providers are inaccessible, as are mailboxes and workers efficiency administration software program. Greater than 200 computer systems are contaminated, inflicting panic inside the pan-African group.

“We're in the darkish”

A number of African diplomats first thought of an assault from a overseas energy. Israel's identify first circulated in the huge marble hallways of the headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Some wished to consider in revenge from the Jewish state after the expulsion of its diplomat Sharon Bar-li, throughout the final common meeting of the AU, towards a backdrop of controversy over the observer standing granted to Israel. The hackers ended up figuring out themselves when demanding a ransom. In accordance with a number of sources inside the establishment, the Russian hacker group BlackCat requested by e-mail that it's paid $3 million to place an finish to its assault. Learn additionally: The Israeli case divides the African Union once more In the absence of a response from the AU to its a number of requests, The world couldn't decide the actual quantity of the ransom, or whether or not it was paid, however a West African diplomat primarily based in Addis Ababa summarizes the causes for the group's embarrassment. “The establishment has no insurance coverage towards such dangers of intrusion”he says. “Till then, all the organs try to cowl up the affair”says one other diplomatic supply. “We're in the darkish, the Fee has not given us any particulars on the assault since March 7”concludes the member of a North African embassy, ​​pissed off. Happily for the group, the knowledge saved in its knowledge middle – positioned in Nairobi – was backed up the day earlier than the assault and is alleged to be partly intact. Since then, it has taken the intervention of groups from Interpol, Afripol and the African Growth Financial institution – which paid $6 million for the operation – to scrub up computer systems, restore some providers and start upgrading. replace of a notably friable safety system.

" Colander "

In accordance with a North African diplomat, “lower than 40%” UA IT providers are restored two months after the assault. There isn't a Wi-Fi or mailboxes. "Employees should work 'distant', with their very own tools, their very own computer systems and their very own Web modems", he says. In different phrases, it is getting by. This isn't the first assault by the Russian hacker group BlackCat. It targets giant organizations and made a identify for itself by stealing 700 gigabits of knowledge from the Italian vitality company GSE. In one other assault, the Russian group had in 2022 demanded a ransom of 5 million {dollars} from the Austrian area of Carinthia towards the supply of knowledge restoration software program that it had stolen from the administration. Learn additionally: In Addis Ababa, the headquarters of the African Union spied on by Beijing For the AU and a whole lot of frightened diplomats, the query of the vulnerability of pc techniques is as soon as once more being raised. One case specifically haunts individuals's minds. In 2017, the group's IT unit found that the group's delicate knowledge was being mysteriously siphoned off in a single day. A survey of World had then revealed that they had been routed to servers positioned in Shanghai, China being the beneficiant builder and donor of the AU headquarters in Addis Ababa. Solely Beijing had delivered the constructing turnkey in 2012, after stuffing the partitions and convention rooms with spy microphones. The UA has since acquired its personal servers, however by no means been capable of stand in the approach of hackers. Paradoxically, a number of members of the group nicknamed her " colander ".
