Studio execs love plausible sentence generators because they have a workflow that looks exactly like a writer-exec dynamic, only without any eye-rolling at the stupid “notes” the exec gives the writer.

All an exec wants is to bark out “Hey, nerd, make me another E.T., except make the hero a dog, and set it on Mars.” After the writer faithfully produces this script, the exec can say, “OK, put put a love interest in the second act, and give me a big gunfight at the climax,” and the writer dutifully makes the changes.

This is exactly how prompting an LLM works.

A writer and a studio exec are lost in the desert, dying of thirst.

Just as they are about to perish, they come upon an oasis, with a cool sparkling pool of water.

The writer drops to their knees and thanks the fates for saving their lives.

But then, the studio exec unzips his pants, pulls out his cock and starts pissing in the water.

“What the fuck are you doing?” the writer demands.

“Don’t worry,” the exec says, “I’m making it better.”

curious: how is college going? I haven't heard about it in a while? or maybe i missed it

It went great! I graduated with my BFA in film in 2018 and then MFA in screenwriting in 2021!

NO MORE SCHOOL I HATE SCHOOL SO MUCH. Thank god film school was so hands on or I’d have simply passed away.

I am a working boy now! My freelance editing gig has gone so well that I just registered as an LLC so now I have a business! It was mostly to make taxes easier but I feel so official 🥲

セキュリティ会社プルーフポイントの研究者らは月曜日、数十の組織から機密データや金融資産を盗むことを目的とした進行中のキャンペーンにおいて、一部は上級幹部のものを含む数百のMicrosoft Azureアカウントが未知の攻撃者の標的になっていると発表した。 このキャンペーンは、資格情報フィッシングとアカウント乗っ取りの手法を統合した電子メールをアカウント所有者に送信することにより、対象の Azure 環境を侵害しようとします。 攻撃者は、個別のフィッシング詐欺と共有ドキュメントを組み合わせて攻撃を行っています。 一部のドキュメントには、クリックするとユーザーをフィッシング Web ページにリダイレクトするリンクが埋め込まれています。 標的となった役割の広範さは、影響を受ける組織全体にわたるさまざまなリソースと責任にアクセスできるアカウントを侵害するという脅威アクターの戦略を示しています。 「脅威アクターは、さまざまな組織にわたってさまざまな肩書きを持つ幅広い個人に焦点を当てているようで、世界中の何百人ものユーザーに影響を与えている」とプルーフポイントの勧告は述べて いる 。 「影響を受けるユーザー ベースは幅���い役職に及び、セールス ディレクター、アカウント マネージャー、財務マネージャーなどが頻繁にターゲットとなります。 「運営担当副社長」、「最高財務責任者兼財務責任者」、「社長兼最高経営責任者（CEO）」などの幹部職に就いている個人も標的に含まれていた。」 アカウントが侵害されると、脅威アクターはアカウントをさまざまな形式の多要素認証に登録することで保護します。 これにより、被害者がパスワードを変更したり、ダッシュボードにアクセスして最近のログインを調べたりすることが困難になる可能性があります。 場合によっては、使用される MFA は、テキスト メッセージまたは電話で送信されるワンタイム パスワードに依存します。 ただし、ほとんどの場合、攻撃者は通知とコードを備えた認証アプリを使用します。 拡大 / 侵害されたクラウド テナント内の攻撃者によって実行された MFA 操作イベントの例。 プルーフポイント Proofpoint は、次のような他の侵害後のアクションを観察しました。 データの引き出し。 攻撃者は、金融資産、内部セキュリティ プロトコル、ユーザー資格情報などの機密ファイルにアクセスしてダウンロードします。 内部および外部のフィッシング。 メールボックス アクセスは、影響を受ける組織内で横方向の移動を実施し、特定のユーザー アカウントをパーソナライズされたフィッシング脅威でターゲットにするために利用されます。 Financial fraud. In an effort to perpetrate financial fraud, internal email messages are dispatched to target Human Resources and Financial departments within affected organizations. Mailbox rules. Attackers create dedicated obfuscation rules intended to cover their tracks and erase all evidence of malicious activity from victims’ mailboxes. Advertisement Enlarge / Examples of obfuscation mailbox rules created by attackers following successful account takeover. Proofpoint The compromises are coming from several proxies that act as intermediaries between the attackers’ originating infrastructure and the accounts being targeted. The proxies help the attackers align the geographical location assigned to the connecting IP address with the region of the target. This helps to bypass various geofencing policies that restrict the number and location of IP addresses that can access the targeted system. The proxy services often change mid-campaign, a strategy that makes it harder for those defending against the attacks to block the IPs where the malicious activities originate. Other techniques designed to obfuscate the attackers' operational infrastructure include data hosting services and compromised domains. “Beyond the use of proxy services, we have seen attackers utilize certain local fixed-line ISPs, potentially exposing their geographical locations,” Monday’s post stated. “Notable among these non-proxy sources are the Russia-based 'Selena Telecom LLC', and Nigerian providers 'Airtel Networks Limited' and 'MTN Nigeria Communication Limited.' While Proofpoint has not currently attributed this campaign to any known threat actor, there is a possibility that Russian and Nigerian attackers may be involved, drawing parallels to previous cloud attacks.” How to check if you’re a target There are several telltale signs of targeting. The most helpful one is a specific user agent used during the access phase of the attack: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Attackers predominantly utilize this user-agent to access the 'OfficeHome' sign-in application along with unauthorized access to additional native Microsoft365 apps, such as: Office365 Shell WCSS-Client (indicative of browser access to Office365 applications) Office 365 Exchange Online (indicative of post-compromise mailbox abuse, data exfiltration, and email threats proliferation) My Signins (used by attackers for MFA manipulation) My Apps My Profile Proofpoint included the following Indicators of compromise: Indicator  Type  Description  Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 User Agent User Agent involved in attack’s access phase Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 User Agent User Agent involved in attack’s access and post-access phases Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/119.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 User Agent User Agent involved in attack’s access and post-access phases sachacel[.]ru Domain Domain used for targeted phishing threats lobnya[.]com Domain Source domain used as malicious infrastructure makeapp[.]today Domain Source domain used as malicious infrastructure alexhost[.]com Domain Source domain used as malicious infrastructure mol[.]ru Domain Source domain used as malicious infrastructure smartape[.]net Domain Source domain used as malicious infrastructure airtel[.]com Domain Source domain used as malicious infrastructure mtnonline[.]com Domain Source domain used as malicious infrastructure acedatacenter[.]com Domain Source domain used as malicious infrastructure Sokolov Dmitry Nikolaevich ISP Source ISP used as malicious infrastructure Dom Tehniki Ltd ISP Source ISP used as malicious infrastructure Selena Telecom LLC ISP Source ISP used as malicious infrastructure As the campaign is ongoing, Proofpoint may update the indicators as more become available. The company advised companies to pay close attention to the user agent and source domains of incoming connections to employee accounts. Other helpful defenses are employing security defenses that look for signs of both initial account compromise and post-compromise activities, identifying initial vectors of compromise such as phishing, malware, or impersonation, and putting in place auto-remediation policies to drive out attackers quickly in the event they get in.

QR Code Scams: Identification and Prevention

QR codes, short for Quick Response Code, have become an integral part of our lives, a simple way of connecting physical and online experiences. And with that convenience comes an opportunity for cybercriminals. These deceptive practices exploit the unsuspecting user, leading to potential security breaches and financial losses. Are you familiar with what QR code scams are and how to identify them? Here are some crucial tips to help you avoid falling victim to these fraudulent activities. Understanding QR Code Scams QR code scams involve the manipulation of legitimate QR codes to redirect users to malicious websites, phishing pages, or other fraudulent activities. Cybercriminals use various techniques to trick users into scanning these codes. These tactics can range from disguising them as legitimate promotions to embedding malicious links within seemingly harmless codes. What to Look For: Unusual Source: Be cautious when scanning QR codes from unknown or suspicious sources. Stick to codes provided by reputable entities and avoid those that you receive through unsolicited messages or emails. Overly Complex URLs: Legitimate QR codes often lead to concise and straightforward URLs. If the destination URL looks unusually complex or contains random characters, it might be a red flag. Mismatched Branding: Scammers often create fake QR codes that mimic the branding of well-known companies or organizations. Double-check for any inconsistencies in colors, logos, or overall design. Lack of Encryption: Legitimate QR codes from reputable sources often use encryption to secure the data. If you notice a lack of encryption, it could indicate a potential scam. Too Good to Be True Offers: Scammers often lure victims with too-good-to-be-true offers. If the QR code promises unbelievable discounts, prizes, or rewards, exercise caution before scanning. Avoiding QR Code Scams: Verify the Source: Before scanning any QR code, ensure it comes from a trusted source. If in doubt, contact the company or organization directly to verify the legitimacy of the code. Use a QR Code Scanner with Security Features: Choose a reputable QR code scanner app that includes security features. Some scanners can detect and alert users about potentially harmful codes. Check the URL Before Clicking: If the QR code leads to a website, manually type the URL into your browser to verify its authenticity. Do not click on suspicious links. Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): What is MFA? Multi-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to provide multiple forms of identification before accessing an account or system. Importance of MFA: Enable MFA on your accounts to protect them from unauthorized access, even if QR code scams or phishing attempts are successful in obtaining your login credentials. Yes, QR codes offer convenience, but it’s crucial to stay vigilant against potential scams. Understanding the signs of QR code scams, verifying sources, and implementing security measures like Multi-Factor Authentication, and as always, ongoing training can help users to stay informed and secure!

That means that for a work to be eligible for copyright in the USA, it must satisfy three criteria:

1. It must be creative. Copyright does not apply to non-creative works (say, a phone book listing everyone in a town in alphabetical order), even if the work required a lot of labor. Copyright does not protect effort, it protects creativity. You can spend your whole life making a phone book and get no copyright, but the haiku you toss off in ten seconds while drunk gets copyright’s full protection. 2. It must be tangible. Copyright only applies to creative works that are “fixed in a tangible medium.” A dance isn’t copyrightable, but a video of someone dancing is, as is a written description of the dance in choreographers’ notation. A singer can’t copyright the act of singing, but they can copyright the recording of the song. 3. It must be of human authorship. Only humans are eligible for copyright. A beehive’s combs may be beautiful, but they can’t be copyrighted. An elephant’s paintings may be creative, but they can’t be copyrighted. A monkey’s selfie may be iconic, but it can’t be copyrighted.

The works an algorithm generates —be they still images, audio recordings, text, or videos — cannot be copyrighted.

For creative workers, this is huge. Our bosses, like all bosses, relish the thought of firing us all and making us homeless. You will never love anything as much as your boss hates paying you. That’s why the most rampant form of theft in America is wage theft. Just the thought of firing workers and replacing them with chatbots is enough to invoke dangerous, persistent priapism in the boardrooms of corporate America.

The Most Common Types of Access Control Systems

The best approach to ensure that only the individuals you trust have access to critical sections of your property is to use access control. All access control systems are not created equal. To restrict access within your house or company, there are four basic methods of access control. Access control systems help you to control access to sensitive data through a network. Cyber legend technologies LLC supplies the best access control systems in Dubai. They supply you the best to work out your business security efficiently.

Access control systems

By analysing needed login credentials, such as passwords, personal identification numbers (PINs), biometric scans, security tokens, or other authentication elements, access control systems provide identification, authentication, and authorisation of people and entities. Multifactor authentication (MFA), which needs two or more authentication factors, is frequently used to defend access control systems as part of a layered defence. The purpose of access control is to reduce the danger of unauthorised access to physical and logical systems posing a security risk. Access control is an important part of security compliance programmes because it guarantees that security technology and access control rules are in place to secure sensitive information like customer data.

Different Types of Access Control Systems Discretionary Access Control (DAC)

The owner of a firm can select how many individuals have access to a certain place using a discretionary access control system (DAC). A list of authorised users is kept at each access control point. When a keycard is swiped, a PIN is punched, or a fingerprint is scanned, the system compares the credential to the list and grants or refuses access based on the previously established permissions. When compared to other forms of access control, DAC systems are the most versatile and give the maximum number of permits. It is not as secure as certain other types, particularly required access control systems, because it is the most flexible.

Mandatory access control(MAC)

The military and other government institutions choose this choice since it is the most stringent. Based on the system administrator’s settings, the operating system tightly limits access to all doors. Users cannot update permissions that provide or restrict access to rooms throughout the institution using MAC.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Permissions are assigned to users based on their business responsibilities under role-based access control. The most popular access control method decides access based on your job title, guaranteeing that lower-level employees don’t have access to sensitive data. This strategy bases access privileges on a set of criteria that relate to the company, such as resource requirements, environment, employment, and geography. Most business owners prefer this method since it makes grouping staff based on the resources they require easier. Human resources personnel, for example, do not require access to private marketing materials, and marketing personnel do not require access to employee pay. RBAC is a flexible approach that improves visibility while also protecting against data breaches and leaks.

Web-based access control

This sort of access control software, also known as embedded access control, operates through a web browser application and connects to the LAN so that it may be accessed from any device on the network.

Attribute Access Control

Going a step further, this sort of system provides different dynamic and risk-aware controls based on the qualities assigned to a certain user. Consider these qualities to be parts of your user profile; when combined, they define your access. Once policies are in place, these qualities may be used to determine whether or not a user should have control.

AI-Powered Scams

The proliferation of scams and frauds leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to deceive unsuspecting individuals and organizations is, as expected, on the rise. As an MSP, it is crucial to continually remind your clients about the importance of staying aware and diligent, even when encountering seemingly legitimate information or requests. Understanding AI-Powered Scams It is important to make sure your clients know what exactly they might be dealing with. AI-powered scams leverage sophisticated algorithms and machine learning techniques to manipulate and deceive users. They can take on various forms, including: a. Phishing Attacks: AI can generate highly convincing emails, messages, or websites designed to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information, such as passwords or financial details. b. Deepfake Impersonations: Deepfake technology uses AI to create fake videos or audio recordings that convincingly mimic real individuals, leading to identity theft or fraudulent transactions. c. Chatbot Deception: AI-powered chatbots can imitate human-like interactions, luring users into sharing personal information or making financial transactions with fraudulent entities. The Role of MSPs in Promoting Awareness As an MSP, you are crucial in safeguarding your clients’ digital well-being. Conduct regular awareness campaigns to educate your clients about the existence and potential impact of AI-powered scams. Share real-life examples and cautionary tales to emphasize the importance of skepticism. Continuously monitor emerging AI technologies and their implications for security. Keep yourself informed about the latest scamming techniques and educate your clients accordingly. Equip your clients with practical guidelines to avoid falling victim to scams. Encourage them to verify the authenticity of communication channels, scrutinize suspicious emails or messages, and exercise caution while interacting with AI-powered interfaces. Tips for Clients to Stay Aware Empower your clients with actionable advice to stay vigilant against AI-powered scams. Encourage clients to think critically before clicking on links, downloading attachments, or sharing sensitive information. Advise them to verify the sender’s identity and scrutinize URLs for any irregularities. Also, remind them to exercise caution when receiving unsolicited communication, especially if it requests personal or financial information. Please encourage them to independently verify the legitimacy of such requests before responding. And while you can enable MFA in some instances, it is important to stress using multi-factor authentication wherever possible. The threat of scams leveraging this technology is a constant concern. As an MSP, it is essential to continually remind your clients to stay aware and diligent, fostering a culture of cybersecurity consciousness.
