"Artists Fighting Back Against AI by Poisoning Their Images"

There are tools that can poison data and cause Artificial Intelligence (AI) models to malfunction, but the question is whether using them is a justified response by artists to copyright infringement or a potential cybersecurity threat. In October 2023, researchers at the University of Chicago unveiled "Nightshade," a data poisoning technique designed to disrupt the training process of AI models. Nightshade and similar disruptive tools could be a defense method that content creators can use to combat web scrapers.

"A Ransomware Payments Ban Risks Criminalizing Victims"

"A Ransomware Payments Ban Risks Criminalizing Victims"

According to industry experts, government bans on ransomware payments risk criminalizing victims. Dominic Trott, director of strategy and alliances at Orange Cyberdefense, points out that a blanket ban on ransomware payments could "shift the focus of criminality" from perpetrators to victims. The warning is prompted by an advisory from the cybersecurity company Emsisoft, which suggested stricter government action against companies that make ransomware payments. These payments would result in ransomware groups being able to scale operations and expand attacks.
