Cyber crime is increasing in sophistication, impact, and frequency according to a presentation by Charlie McMurdie of PwC. A wide range of threat actors carry out attacks including organized criminals, nation states, hackers, and insiders. Common motivations include financial gain, hacktivism, and espionage. High profile breaches have stolen personal and payment details impacting millions. Companies face direct costs like investigation, indirect costs like loss of customers, and intangible costs like damage to brand.

The rise of a generation of new hackers has propelled a boom in successful cyberattacks and data breaches over the last decade. This generation of "modern adversaries" has caused billions of dollars in damages in the last few years, and both the pace and danger of their attacks continue to grow.
This presentation analyzes modern hacker adversaries: who are they, how are they circumventing traditional security systems, and what can the information security industry do to detect and stop these new threats.
Michael Mullen stated that the single biggest existential threat is cybercrime. Cybercrime involves illegal activities using computers such as hacking, software piracy, and disseminating viruses. Statistics show that cybercrime is growing rapidly, with over 600,000 Facebook accounts compromised daily and the global cost of cybercrime projected to reach $2 trillion by 2019. To stay safe, people should use antivirus software, firewalls, backups, and avoid unknown links or installing unnecessary software.
Equifax announced a massive data breach affecting 143 million US consumers. Hackers exploited a vulnerability in Apache Struts to access names, social security numbers, birthdates, addresses, driver's license numbers, and credit histories stored on Equifax's servers. This breach poses significant risks to identity theft, as social security numbers were compromised. Those affected should obtain credit reports, monitor their credit, and consider initiating a credit freeze to protect their information going forward. The Equifax breach highlights the importance of data security preparedness and patching vulnerabilities.

The illegal activities undertaken by criminals for financial gain, which exploit vulnerabilities in the use of the internet and other electronic systems to illicitly access or attack information and services used by citizens, business and government.
According to statistics, over 556 million people worldwide were victims of cybercrime in 2013, with motivations including political gain, revenge, and espionage. Terrorist groups like ISIS are recruiting hackers to wage cyberwar on intelligence agencies, targeting systems like telecommunications, energy grids, and air-gapped military networks. Cybercriminals are also stealing personal and financial information to commit fraud and cripple the economy. The FBI reported over 6,800 cybercrime complaints totaling over $20 million from 2009-2014. To help prevent becoming victims, people should limit personal information shared online, use strong passwords, avoid clicking suspicious links, and learn about how cybercriminals operate through malware and spyware.
Ransomware attacks are increasing significantly each year, with a new organization falling victim every 14 seconds in 2019 and every 11 seconds by 2021. The annual global cost of cybercrime is expected to exceed $6 trillion by 2021. In the US alone last year, ransomware potentially cost over $7.5 billion across government agencies, healthcare organizations, schools, and cities like Baltimore and New Orleans. Hackers justify these illegal activities as being "soldiers in the war" for their countries.
Beginning in June 2014, hackers breached J.P. Morgan Chase's systems and stole personal data belonging to 76 million households and 7 million small businesses. While no money or account credentials were taken, names, addresses, phone numbers and emails were exposed, which could enable phishing attacks. The federal government should regulate large banks' cybersecurity to protect citizens' private financial information, rather than relying on voluntary industry frameworks which failed to prevent this breach.
Darknets allow for concealed peer-to-peer connections and sharing of information and files with little risk of detection by hiding IP addresses and communication. Examples of darknets include Tor, Freenet, and I2P. While darknets can positively impact ecommerce through "white hat" security testing and hacking to improve website protection, they also enable illegal trading, piracy, and illicit content due to increased anonymity. Looking ahead, authorities will tighten monitoring of darknets as their usage grows, but illegal transactions may still persist.
Five cyber threats to be careful in 2018Ronak Jain
It is not true that people are safe from hackers because they only target big companies for money and other purposes. Every person using debit or credit cards, doing online transactions, using the internet can get affected by cyber threats. You may lose money before even recognizing the situation. Simple mistakes from users open the entry for virus and malware coded by hackers.
Verizon, in collaboration with 50 other organizations (including FireEye) analyzed 100,000 Data breach incidents, what they found might surprise you. Interesting – when you look across all industries, the 4 largest share of incidents fall into four categories – insider misuse, physical theft / loss, miscellaneous errors and crime ware. We won’t focus on all of these, but of particular note when you look at incidents with confirmed data breaches, two categories stand out: payment card skimmers and cyber espionage. According to Verizon’s cyber threat group, the two fastest growing threats to the enterprise are Denial of Service attacks and Cyber Espionage.
The report summarizes McAfee's findings on cyber threats from the first quarter of 2010. Key points include:
- Spam volumes returned to mid-2008 levels after declining in late 2009. Pill and male enhancement messages made up over 70% of spam.
- Different types of spam were most common in different countries. For example, malware and drugs messages were popular from China while 419 scams and watches messages came mostly from Nigeria.
- Attacks continued to target popular software like Adobe Reader and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Cybercriminals also increasingly targeted social media like Facebook.
- Major cyberattacks in the quarter included Operation Aurora, which compromised many large companies by targeting software vulnerabilities.
Automation poses both threats and opportunities in the realm of security and society. As connectivity and automation continue to increase, personal privacy will become increasingly difficult to protect through existing laws and frameworks. While automation has streamlined many industries like farming, similar automation applied to cyber threats poses serious risks. However, automation may also provide solutions through advanced automated defenses that can help stay ahead of rapidly evolving cyber attacks. Overall, both individuals and organizations will need to carefully manage the risks and opportunities around increasing connectivity and automation.

Cyber Security in Africa
African countries have lagged behind in the implementation and development of internet connectivity and cyber security measures. Being developing nations, most of the African states have not been able to fully enhance and promote internet connectivity, preferring to put their priorities on providing other basic and necessary social amenities to their people. The governments have, however, ensured that there is provision of telecommunication networks across most parts of the continent, and internet service providers would often ride upon these networks for provision of their services to the people.
It is estimated that almost 170 million people across the continent have at least a mobile phone. Internet penetration in Africa has however remained at 18%, which is way lower than the global average connectivity of 30%. It is estimated that only 1 household out of 10 households is connected to the internet. However, the number of connected internet users in Africa has grown sevenfold since 2000 to 2012. This progress can be attributed to the changes in government policy and regulations.
The cyber space in Africa has been growing at a snail speed compares to other regions due to factors such as the lack of relevant skills and knowledge that would have enabled African nations to develop software’s and applications. There are few professionals in the internet and technology sectors, and thus this limits the ability of African countries to come up with their own internet applications. The introduction of internet in Africa saw some already established mobile telephone countries monopolize the internet service delivery sector. Most of the upcoming and newly-established companies which have tried to venture into the sector have had no space for development. This has greatly limited the internet technological investment, which would have helped the internet access to many people.
In Africa, internet penetration has been greatly experienced in the major urban centers, where the relevant infrastructure has been put in place. The poor transport and communication networks in the rural areas has inhibited the investment into the internet sector by both the private and even governmental organizations. The uneven settlement patterns across the continent also discourages internet and communication investment in the rural areas, given that most of the people residing in the rural areas are not stable financially, and they would thus have to put food at the table at the expense of the internet, which is like a luxury and not a necessity to them. Their financial status also does not allow them to possess the internet-enabled mobile phones, tablets and laptops. The well-to-do people often reside in the major urban centers. The.

1. About Project 2020
Project 2020 is an initiative of the International Cyber Security
Protection Alliance (ICSPA). Its aim is to anticipate the future of
cybercrime, enabling governments, businesses and citizens to
prepare themselves for the challenges and opportunities of the
coming decade. It comprises a range of activities, including
common threat reporting, scenario exercises, policy guidance and
capacity building.
The scenarios in this document are not predictions of a single
future. Rather, they are descriptions of a possible future, which
focuses on the impact of cybercrime from the perspectives of an
ordinary Internet user, a manufacturer, a communications service
provider and a government. The events and developments
described are designed to be plausible in some parts of the world,
as opposed to inevitable in all. They take their inspiration from
analysis of the current threat landscape, the expert opinion of
ICSPA members and extensive horizon scanning, particularly of
emerging technologies.
The European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) at Europol and the ICSPA
would like to express their heartfelt thanks to the Global Review
Panel of experts from governments, international organisations,
industry and academia who took the time to validate the scenarios.
This document is undoubtedly the better for it.
2. Implications for Cybersecurity Stakeholders
The scenarios presented in Section 5 raise a number of questions to
be answered by today’s stakeholders and decision makers. These
include:
• Who owns the data in networked systems, and for how
long?
• Who will distinguish between data misuse and legitimate
use, and will we achieve consistency? What data will the
authorities be able to access and use for the purposes of
preventing and disrupting criminal activity?
• Who covers (and recovers) the losses, both financial and in
terms of data recovery?
• Who secures the joins between services, applications and
networks? And how can objects that use different technologies
operate safely in the same environment?
4
• Do we want local or global governance and security
solutions?
• Will we be able to transit to new governance and business
models without causing global shocks, schisms and
significant financial damage?
If these questions remain unanswered, or the responses are
uncoordinated, we risk imposing significant barriers to the
technological advantages prom.
Fake news is just the beginning why the internet needs a fixChirag Thumar
The document discusses issues with the current internet including fake news, unreliable information, and anonymity enabling bad behavior. It introduces "The New Internet" browser as a solution by requiring identity verification for users. This aims to stop fake news, fake profiles, and improve civility by making users accountable for their actions online through their real identities. The New Internet promises a safer, more productive environment by addressing abuses of anonymity and the spreading of false information that have plagued the current internet.

This document discusses cybercrime and cybersecurity. It defines cybercrime as illegal activities committed through computers and networks, such as internet fraud, cyberbullying, and identity theft. It also discusses different types of hackers (e.g. black hat, white hat), cyberattacks throughout history, and techniques used in cybercrimes like phishing scams and brute force attacks. The document concludes that while security is an illusion, being proactive, developing best practices, and increasing cybersecurity awareness can help address ongoing cyber threats.
Cyber crime poses several challenges for law enforcement. Technically, it can be difficult to attribute crimes due to IP spoofing and anonymity tools. Software vulnerabilities are also common and enable theft of data. Legally, different countries have varying laws and evidence standards, complicating international investigations. Ethically, agencies must respect privacy and human rights while investigating digital crimes. Addressing these technical, legal and ethical challenges is crucial to effectively combat cyber crime.
The document discusses several legal, social, and ethical issues raised by the Internet of Things (IoT). Some of the key legal issues include data privacy and security concerns as IoT devices often have poor security and transmit data without encryption. Cybersecurity is also a major issue as IoT bots can be hacked and used to launch cyberattacks. On the social side, the proliferation of IoT devices risks increased global warming and climate change as more devices consume power. There are also privacy concerns if devices are hacked and personal information is stolen. In terms of solutions, the document advocates for improved government regulation of IoT, following ethical codes of conduct, prioritizing customer benefit, strengthening security, and raising customer awareness.
What are cybercrimes? How cybercrime works?FarjanaMitu3
Today is the time of the internet, computers, and digital technology.
And, in this age of the Internet, we spend much of our lives online. However, there are many reasons why the internet is so fun and popular.
Getting the latest news through various websites, talking to our loved ones from anywhere, chatting and communicating via video call, shopping online through the internet, getting accurate information on any subject, watching videos for entertainment, playing online games, and online bills. Today it has become possible to do almost all kinds of work like payment easily through the internet.
Honestly, I think the internet is a contribution to us
Simply, if there is no complete internet for one day, it can have a lot of impact on public life.
At any given time, billions of people are active on the Internet and use various websites or applications to access the Internet on their mobile phones or computers.
In this case, there are many people who use computers and the internet to steal their personal information, cheat, and extort money from these "online traffic" or "online internet users" through various illegal means. More other crimes.
Thus, the crimes of cheating, privacy, and data theft or misuse of data online through a mobile, computer, and internet are called cyber crime or cybercrime. And, those who commit this kind of cybercrime are called cybercriminals. There are different types of cybercrime on the internet. This means that cybercriminals can deceive you through various illegal means online. You may be the next victim if you are not careful when using the Internet.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.
Candidate young stellar objects in the S-cluster: Kinematic analysis of a sub...Sérgio Sacani
Context. The observation of several L-band emission sources in the S cluster has led to a rich discussion of their nature. However, a definitive answer to the classification of the dusty objects requires an explanation for the detection of compact Doppler-shifted Brγ emission. The ionized hydrogen in combination with the observation of mid-infrared L-band continuum emission suggests that most of these sources are embedded in a dusty envelope. These embedded sources are part of the S-cluster, and their relationship to the S-stars is still under debate. To date, the question of the origin of these two populations has been vague, although all explanations favor migration processes for the individual cluster members. Aims. This work revisits the S-cluster and its dusty members orbiting the supermassive black hole SgrA* on bound Keplerian orbits from a kinematic perspective. The aim is to explore the Keplerian parameters for patterns that might imply a nonrandom distribution of the sample. Additionally, various analytical aspects are considered to address the nature of the dusty sources. Methods. Based on the photometric analysis, we estimated the individual H−K and K−L colors for the source sample and compared the results to known cluster members. The classification revealed a noticeable contrast between the S-stars and the dusty sources. To fit the flux-density distribution, we utilized the radiative transfer code HYPERION and implemented a young stellar object Class I model. We obtained the position angle from the Keplerian fit results; additionally, we analyzed the distribution of the inclinations and the longitudes of the ascending node. Results. The colors of the dusty sources suggest a stellar nature consistent with the spectral energy distribution in the near and midinfrared domains. Furthermore, the evaporation timescales of dusty and gaseous clumps in the vicinity of SgrA* are much shorter ( 2yr) than the epochs covered by the observations (≈15yr). In addition to the strong evidence for the stellar classification of the D-sources, we also find a clear disk-like pattern following the arrangements of S-stars proposed in the literature. Furthermore, we find a global intrinsic inclination for all dusty sources of 60 ± 20◦, implying a common formation process. Conclusions. The pattern of the dusty sources manifested in the distribution of the position angles, inclinations, and longitudes of the ascending node strongly suggests two different scenarios: the main-sequence stars and the dusty stellar S-cluster sources share a common formation history or migrated with a similar formation channel in the vicinity of SgrA*. Alternatively, the gravitational influence of SgrA* in combination with a massive perturber, such as a putative intermediate mass black hole in the IRS 13 cluster, forces the dusty objects and S-stars to follow a particular orbital arrangement.

Microbial interaction
Microorganisms interacts with each other and can be physically associated with another organisms in a variety of ways.
One organism can be located on the surface of another organism as an ectobiont or located within another organism as endobiont.
Microbial interaction may be positive such as mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism or may be negative such as parasitism, predation or competition
Types of microbial interaction
Positive interaction: mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism
Negative interaction: Ammensalism (antagonism), parasitism, predation, competition
I. Mutualism:
It is defined as the relationship in which each organism in interaction gets benefits from association. It is an obligatory relationship in which mutualist and host are metabolically dependent on each other.
Mutualistic relationship is very specific where one member of association cannot be replaced by another species.
Mutualism require close physical contact between interacting organisms.
Relationship of mutualism allows organisms to exist in habitat that could not occupied by either species alone.
Mutualistic relationship between organisms allows them to act as a single organism.
Examples of mutualism:
i. Lichens:
Lichens are excellent example of mutualism.
They are the association of specific fungi and certain genus of algae. In lichen, fungal partner is called mycobiont and algal partner is called
II. Syntrophism:
It is an association in which the growth of one organism either depends on or improved by the substrate provided by another organism.
In syntrophism both organism in association gets benefits.
Compound A
Utilized by population 1
Compound B
Utilized by population 2
Compound C
utilized by both Population 1+2
Products
In this theoretical example of syntrophism, population 1 is able to utilize and metabolize compound A, forming compound B but cannot metabolize beyond compound B without co-operation of population 2. Population 2is unable to utilize compound A but it can metabolize compound B forming compound C. Then both population 1 and 2 are able to carry out metabolic reaction which leads to formation of end product that neither population could produce alone.
Examples of syntrophism:
i. Methanogenic ecosystem in sludge digester
Methane produced by methanogenic bacteria depends upon interspecies hydrogen transfer by other fermentative bacteria.
Anaerobic fermentative bacteria generate CO2 and H2 utilizing carbohydrates which is then utilized by methanogenic bacteria (Methanobacter) to produce methane.
ii. Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis:
In the minimal media, Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis are able to grow together but not alone.
The synergistic relationship between E. faecalis and L. arobinosus occurs in which E. faecalis require folic acid

JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDSSérgio Sacani
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.
