Should I Be Conducting Federal Criminal Searches?Mike McCarty
This document discusses whether federal criminal record searches should be conducted. It notes that federal crimes are increasing in frequency due to factors like internet use and a more transient society. While federal criminal hits are low, the offenses tend to be serious. Adding a federal criminal search can provide valuable information for only $3 more. The document provides examples of federal crimes and cases that would not have been uncovered without a federal search. It argues organizations should consider adding a federal criminal check to their background screening package.
Ehud Tenenbaum, a 29-year-old hacker from Israel known as "The Analyzer", was part of an international hacking ring that hacked into financial institutions across multiple countries including the US, Russia, Turkey, and others. In 2008, he was charged for hacking into four US banks as part of a scheme where he would steal financial account information and sell it to "runners" who would withdraw cash from ATMs. A US Secret Service investigation traced hacks that caused over $10 million in losses to Tenenbaum. He faced up to 15 years in prison for bank card fraud.
If you work in the financial industry like us, you know that every day money used to buy, sell and exploit people is flowing through our banks’ systems, accounts and ecosystems. Modern slavery and human trafficking generate an estimate of $150 billion per year – possibly more. But we cannot see it. The traces of human trafficking and modern slavery are hidden in terabytes of data isolated in different systems. Even just planning to surface that data costs hundreds of thousands of pounds, dollars, euros, and needs days, months or years, that we don’t have. This is why we have developed the RedCompass RedFlag Accelerator.

This document discusses identity fraud, how personal information can be stolen from databases and used to commit identity theft. It notes that identity fraud is a growing crime that costs Australians billions each year. Personal information like names, addresses, bank details that are stored in databases can be exploited if accessed by thieves. Maintaining databases comes with ethical and legal responsibilities to securely store information and properly verify anyone requesting access to protect against identity theft.
Companies have significant freedom to protect user privacy from government access while still complying with the law. They can implement technical policies like minimal data retention, transport encryption, and storage encryption without handling user encryption keys. They can also adopt legal policies like refusing voluntary disclosure, charging the government reasonable costs, applying the Theofel standard nationwide, publishing statistics on government requests, and donating any funds received to charity. For example, some companies do not log IP addresses or connection information, while encrypted email and cloud storage providers only know the encryption keys. This allows firms to say no to government overreach while avoiding legal liability and bad publicity.

Consumers care deeply about privacy but take few steps to protect themselves. Most Americans want control over their personal data and what is collected about them, yet few change their online behaviors to avoid tracking. Stolen identities and data records are frequently bought and sold on the dark web, with social security numbers sold for just $1. The average cost of a data breach for large companies is $6.5 million. As more devices and records are connected, privacy risks grow substantially without comprehensive privacy laws or protections.

Identity theft occurs when someone steals and uses another person's personal information without permission to commit fraud or other crimes. There are several types of identity theft, including financial identity theft, the most common form where thieves use stolen information to obtain credit, loans, or services. Criminals can steal information through dumpster diving, changing addresses, or using stolen credit card information. To protect against identity theft, people should check credit reports regularly, shred documents, and be wary of unsolicited requests for personal information. Authorities recommend education and limiting shared information as ways to prevent identity theft.

Identity theft occurs when someone uses another person's personal information without permission to commit fraud or other crimes. According to the FTC, about 9 million Americans have their identities stolen each year. Identity thieves may use stolen information to open credit cards or bank accounts, take out loans, file taxes, or get a job under the victim's name. Victims of identity theft can face damaged credit, debt collection issues, and problems getting loans or jobs in the future. Filing a police report is important to protect legal rights and help authorities investigate the crime.
After you are arrested, your emotions may be running high. It is easy to be caught up in the fear, frustration, and anger of the situation. However, sharing information about your arrest through social media can complicate your circumstances significantly.
Protecting your privacy, identity and financial information online is critically important in today’s Internet economy. Last year, 13.1 million Americans were victims of identity theft. I have no plans on joining this group, which is what inspired us to create our latest Zing blog guide – Identity 101.

Tutoring: Do You Really Need It? This Will Help You Decide!Trading Atlas
Everyone has off days when they don’t play out their best on a test or significant task. Getting a terrible grade — even an F — on occasion doesn’t mean you want to race to track down a mentor. So, when is it an opportunity to request help? The following are six signs that might demonstrate you really want some additional help.
Test time has arrived. Also, you're presumably going a bit insane (or stressed out). All that you've experienced for the current year – every one of the tests, tasks and expositions – has generally been to set you up for this.

I know there are a lot of applications you can introduce on your cell phone to follow its area on the off chance that it gets lost or taken. Apple’s “Track down My iPhone is one great one and numerous security applications, like AVG Mobilation, can find a telephone in a moment or two.
I figure we would all be able to concur that there are vindictive records all around the web. These noxious records might come as android spyware, malware, and adware in your telephones. They can take your data and are a genuine danger to your security.
Indeed.
You should initially permit the application to utilize your camera, amplifier or whatever.
The application should likewise develop an association on the web to have the option to send the photograph or video out. So, it should be an application that utilizes a web association.
Cell phones are one of the greatest individual accommodations of the advanced age. For some, the cell phone is the single greatest store of individual data. You access your messages and instant messages, take photographs, store banking data, and substantially more on your cell phone.

• Access both the front and the back camera.
• Record you whenever the application is in the closer view.
• Take pictures and recordings without telling you.
• Transfer the photos and recordings without telling you.

Global Situational Awareness of A.I. and where its headedvikram sood
You can see the future first in San Francisco.
Over the past year, the talk of the town has shifted from $10 billion compute clusters to $100 billion clusters to trillion-dollar clusters. Every six months another zero is added to the boardroom plans. Behind the scenes, there’s a fierce scramble to secure every power contract still available for the rest of the decade, every voltage transformer that can possibly be procured. American big business is gearing up to pour trillions of dollars into a long-unseen mobilization of American industrial might. By the end of the decade, American electricity production will have grown tens of percent; from the shale fields of Pennsylvania to the solar farms of Nevada, hundreds of millions of GPUs will hum.
The AGI race has begun. We are building machines that can think and reason. By 2025/26, these machines will outpace college graduates. By the end of the decade, they will be smarter than you or I; we will have superintelligence, in the true sense of the word. Along the way, national security forces not seen in half a century will be un-leashed, and before long, The Project will be on. If we’re lucky, we’ll be in an all-out race with the CCP; if we’re unlucky, an all-out war.
Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the wilful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.
Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.
Let me tell you what we see.

The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.
