For those who are not aware: Bitlocker is encryption software, it encrypts your computer and makes it impossible to access the information on the computer unless you have the key.

It should be standard practice for IT companies to document the bitlocker keys as they are configuring bitlocker on a computer; generally you would do this by creating a record in your client management software for that specific device and putting the key in the record. Sometimes software can be used to extract that information in the event that it's necessary, but even if there's theoretically a way to extract the key, it should be documented somewhere *other* than on the encrypted computer.

This is something that a lot of IT people fuck up on kind of a lot (we've definitely had problems with missing bitlocker keys and I'm quite happy that the people who didn't document those keys aren't my coworkers anymore).

So what do you do if you want to use encryption software and you're NOT an IT company using a remote management tool that might be able to snag the keys?

When you are setting up encryption, put the encryption key in your password manager. Put it in your password manager. Document the important information that you cannot lose in your password manager. Your password manager is a good place to keep important things like your device encryption key, which you do not want lost or stolen. (If you run your password manager locally on an encrypted computer, export the data every once in a while, save it as an encrypted file, and put the file on your backup drive; you are going to have a bad time if your computer that hosts the only copies of your passwords shits the bed so *make a backup*)

This is my tip for home users for any kind of important recovery codes or software product keys: Print out the key and put it in your underwear drawer. Keep it there with your backup drive. That way you've got your important (small) computer shit in one place that is NOT your computer and is not likely to get shifted around and lost (the way that papers in desks often get shifted around and lost).

Hi yes I would like to start down this rabbit hole please because I'm totally normal about this ... I am convinced Jon and Martin are part of a tape drive. It links with the tapes from TMA and the trailer for TMP especially with the opening computer screen (I already posted about my thoughts on that).

What is a tape drive?

A tape drive is a device that stores computer data on magnetic tape, especially for backup and archiving purposes. Like an ordinary tape recorder, a tape drive records data on a loop of flexible celluloidlike material that can be read and also erased.

Tape drives differ from hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs) in the way data is read and written to the storage media. Tapes store data sequentially, whereas HDDs and SSDs use rotating disks with rapidly moving seek heads, nonmoving flash memory or similar technology to transfer data.

Drives come in many sizes and capabilities. They are sold as standalone units or stacked in data center racks, creating tape libraries. The tapes themselves are often housed in sealed cassettes that can be inserted into the drive and activated.

There are several benefits to using tape drives, particularly for backup and archival uses. They include the following:

Capacity. Tapes have a large capacity for storing data when compared to HDDs.

Low cost. They are economical when compared to other storage media.

Life span. Tapes stored in a suitable environment can last for decades, an important factor for archival storage.

Transportable. Tapes can be easily moved from one location to another and are considered off-line storage.

Disaster recovery. Tape is often the storage medium of choice for data backup and DR. Storing critical systems and data on tape creates an air gap between systems that are at risk from cyber attacks simply by removing the tape cassette from the drive.

Security. Today, tapes support encryption such as Advanced Encryption Standard-256 and provide varying levels of data protection.

v1.2 "Nautilus" is live!

This release further polishes the Octocon app's user experience and adds a bunch of new features, including polls, end-to-end encryption for journal entries, and locks for custom fields and journal entries!

Keep reading to see a quick highlight of this version's changes!

Features

🗳️ Polls

Polls are a new feature that allows your alters to vote on important decisions!

Two poll types are currently available: "vote" and "choice." Vote polls let alters vote between "Yes," "No", "Abstain," and (optionally) "Veto," while choice polls let you make your own choices!

Access polls by opening the navigation drawer with the button in the top-left or by swiping right anywhere in the app.

🔐 End-to-end encryption

We take the security of your data extremely seriously, which is why we're proud to announce that Octocon now uses end-to-end encryption to lock down your journal entries!

Next time you attempt to journal, you'll be prompted to set up encryption, and will be given a recovery code.

Write this code down somewhere safe, like a physical piece of paper! You'll need it to if you uninstall the app or log in on another device.

Once set up, all journal entries you write will be encrypted on your device before being sent to our servers. This makes it literally impossible for both the Octocon team (and hackers, in the case of a data breach) to look at your data.

All previously written journal entries will not be encrypted, but you can encrypt them by simply making a small change and saving them again.

This doesn't necessarily mean that your journal entries were unsafe before! We make every effort to keep our servers secure and our team never looks at user data; this is just a safeguard to make your sensitive data essentially bulletproof.

Please note that - by design - if you lose your recovery code after setting up encryption, it is impossible for us to recover your data! You'll have to start all over again.

🔒 Journal entry & custom field locks

Journal entries and custom fields can now be "locked," ensuring that you can't view them accidentally if you're not in the right headspace!

Upon being locked, journal entries will force you to tap a button three times to confirm that you'd like to open it.

Similarly, locked custom fields will be blurred until tapping them three times.

Other

A new onboarding screen has been added to help new users understand the app's functionality and point them towards our community.

All links in the app are now opened using Android's "custom tabs" API. No more jank caused by opening links in a separate browser!

Journal entries can now be "pinned" to keep them at the top of the list.

A new mode to change front (swiping further left on an alter to set as main front instead of swiping right).

You can keep the old functionality by using the "Swipe (Bidirectional)" change front mode instead!

Changes

Alters and tags now have their UI split into tabs to more easily sift through information.

Complex alter data (like descriptions and custom fields) is now loaded lazily to reduce the app's initial loading time and bandwidth usage, especially for larger systems.

Various elements of the UI have been reworked, especially regarding effective use of color.

The settings screen has been organized into multiple separate screens.

The bottom navigation bar now collapses when scrolling down (this can be disabled in the settings).

Fixes

The app should no longer crash in the case of a temporary network outage, or upon startup if you have no connection at all.

Friend data is now kept in a cache while navigating through their profile, which greatly reduces the amount of loading screens.

This is just a highlight of the many changes this update brings! You can view a full changelog in our official Discord server.

How To Reduce 5G Cybersecurity Risks Surface Vulnerabilities

5G Cybersecurity Risks

There are new 5G Cybersecurity Risks technology. Because each 5G device has the potential to be a gateway for unauthorized access if it is not adequately protected, the vast network of connected devices provides additional entry points for hackers and increases the attack surface of an enterprise. Network slicing, which divides a single physical 5G network into many virtual networks, is also a security risk since security lapses in one slice might result in breaches in other slices.

Employing safe 5G Cybersecurity Risks enabled devices with robust security features like multi-factor authentication, end-to-end encryption, frequent security audits, firewall protection, and biometric access restrictions may help organizations reduce these threats. Regular security audits may also assist in spotting any network vulnerabilities and taking proactive measures to fix them.

Lastly, it’s preferable to deal with reputable 5G service providers that put security first.

Take On New Cybersecurity Threats

Cybercriminals often aim their biggest intrusions at PCs. Learn the characteristics of trustworthy devices and improve your cybersecurity plan. In the current digital environment, there is reason for worry over the growing complexity and frequency of cyber attacks. Cybercriminals are seriously harming businesses’ reputations and finances by breaking into security systems using sophisticated tools and tactics. Being able to recognize and address these new issues is critical for both users and businesses.

Threats Driven by GenAI

Malicious actors find it simpler to produce material that resembles other individuals or entities more authentically with generative AI. Because of this, it may be used to trick individuals or groups into doing harmful things like handing over login information or even sending money.

Here are two instances of these attacks:

Sophisticated phishing: Emails and other communications may sound much more human since GenAI can combine a large quantity of data, which increases their credibility.

Deepfake: With the use of online speech samples, GenAI is able to produce audio and maybe even video files that are flawless replicas of the original speaker. These kinds of files have been used, among other things, to coerce people into doing harmful things like sending money to online fraudsters.

The mitigation approach should concentrate on making sure that sound cybersecurity practices, such as minimizing the attack surface, detection and response methods, and recovery, are in place, along with thorough staff training and continual education, even if both threats are meant to be challenging to discover. Individuals must be the last line of defense as they are the targeted targets.

Apart from these two, new hazards that GenAI models themselves encounter include prompt injection, manipulation of results, and model theft. Although certain hazards are worth a separate discussion, the general approach is very much the same as safeguarding any other important task. Utilizing Zero Trust principles, lowering the attack surface, protecting data, and upholding an incident recovery strategy have to be the major priorities.Image Credit To Dell

Ransomware as a Service (RaaS)

Ransomware as a Service (RaaS) lets attackers rent ransomware tools and equipment or pay someone to attack via its subscription-based architecture. This marks a departure from typical ransomware assaults. Because of this professional approach, fraudsters now have a reduced entrance barrier and can carry out complex assaults even with less technical expertise. There has been a notable rise in the number and effect of RaaS events in recent times, as shown by many high-profile occurrences.

Businesses are encouraged to strengthen their ransomware attack defenses in order to counter this threat:

Hardware-assisted security and Zero Trust concepts, such as network segmentation and identity management, may help to reduce the attack surface.

Update and patch systems and software on a regular basis.

Continue to follow a thorough incident recovery strategy.

Put in place strong data protection measures

IoT vulnerabilities

Insufficient security makes IoT devices susceptible to data breaches and illicit access. The potential of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks is increased by the large number of networked devices, and poorly managed device identification and authentication may also result in unauthorized control. Renowned cybersecurity researcher Theresa Payton has even conjured up scenarios in which hackers may use Internet of Things (IoT) devices to target smart buildings, perhaps “creating hazmat scenarios, locking people in buildings and holding people for ransom.”

Frequent software upgrades are lacking in many IoT devices, which exposes them. Furthermore, the deployment of more comprehensive security measures may be hindered by their low computational capacity.

Several defensive measures, such assuring safe setup and frequent updates and implementing IoT-specific security protocols, may be put into place to mitigate these problems. These protocols include enforcing secure boot to guarantee that devices only run trusted software, utilizing network segmentation to separate IoT devices from other areas of the network, implementing end-to-end encryption to protect data transmission, and using device authentication to confirm the identity of connected devices.

Furthermore, Zero Trust principles are essential for Internet of Things devices since they will continuously authenticate each user and device, lowering the possibility of security breaches and unwanted access.

Overarching Techniques for Fighting Cybersecurity Risks

Regardless of the threat type, businesses may strengthen their security posture by taking proactive measures, even while there are unique tactics designed to counter certain threats.

Since they provide people the skills and information they need to tackle cybersecurity risks, training and education are essential. Frequent cybersecurity awareness training sessions are crucial for fostering these abilities. Different delivery modalities, such as interactive simulations, online courses, and workshops, each have their own advantages. It’s critical to maintain training sessions interesting and current while also customizing the material to fit the various positions within the company to guarantee its efficacy.
