VOTE FOR SM(E) IN THE @tmntaucompetition BECAUSE:
Directly supporting a CSA survivor (me) emotionally (winning at an internet competition) is good 👍
You guys like divorce right? We have divorce eventually! It's gonna be great!
Plus, if I get into the actual competition, I will:
1. Open a day-long QNA where I must be honest about everything the asker desires and
2. Begin working on an animatic to "once shattered, now whole" from Centaurworld. Yes, you will be allowed to bully me into finishing it instead of taking literally ten million years
3. The further I get in the comp, the more spoilers you get!
Also I'll kill Meatsweats onscreen and it won't even traumatize Mikey that much if I win the whole competition!!

"Uh- I- good one! I should probably go- with him, uh, he's my soulmate- I kinda gotta-" He'd dropped the cookies. He'd dropped the fucking cookies. Gods, Rupert would be so angry, he should've been more careful-
Oh. Okay, he was being dragged away. This was fine. He was fine.
"Can we at least bring Rupert, too?" He asked softly. It would be wrong to leave him behind, they were soulmates, they should be doing everything together!
But maybe it'd be safer not to. Because the other turtles would hurt him. Yeah, that... That was it. Nothing else.
Tumblr media
A totally normal AU appears, offering cookies!
Two’s lip curled in a snarl, baring sharp teeth at the unfamiliar humans. A hiss rattled inside his throat, and the large man took a step back, his face twisting in what Two could only assume must be some strange mix of disgust and fear. He’d never been very good at guessing emotions, and even if he was, they came across differently on human faces. The smaller human didn’t move, but he frowned, not like he was afraid but like he was disappointed. The expression was eerily familiar, even if the features were not. 
“Let’s get out of here,” the big man grunted, taking another step back, eyes lingering in ways that made Two’s scales crawl. 
“If you really think we should, then I guess
” the small human mumbled, and Two’s eyes went wide. That voice!
He surged forward, and the small human startled back. Before he could get far, Two grabbed him, pulling them closer, hands cradling his squishy human face, mindful not to break the fragile skin with his claws. He searched his features for a hint of familiarity. Eyes darted over the curve of his cheeks, the shape and color of his eyes, the expressions he wore as he stared back like he wasn’t sure whether to be concerned or amused. 
“You’re another version of Four,” the mutant turtle murmured, eyes going wide with horror before they narrowed. He bared his teeth again and hissed, “What did they do to you?”
Mikey laughed awkwardly and tried to wave him off. Behind him, the larger human was raising his voice, booming with an anger that had Mikey trying to hide winces with every word. Two shook with barely repressed rage at the sight of a version of his brother twisted like this, shrinking into himself and broken in a way not even Draxum had managed yet. He cast a glare at the man behind it, jaw aching with the urge to sink teeth into a vulnerable throat; to tear and rend and destroy a human threat, just as he’d been designed for. 
But he tamped it back. 
“You’re coming with me,” Two announced firmly, and without paying any mind to the protests, he turned and left, hand holding tightly onto the strange human version of his brother’s hand.  @error-core-animations

InconsistĂȘncias & incoerĂȘncias na marca NCT
Tumblr media
Olå, meus caros NCTzens! Hoje, estou aqui para escrever sobre um fato que me causa certa indignação, principalmente como NCTzen, mas também como artista e como alguém que aprecia as artes num todo.
Analisando, nesses quase 10 anos que acompanho o NCT, consigo pontuar certas coisas que o fizeram se tornar uma marca com potencial desperdiçado {para não dizer, uma marca fraca}. Por mais que eu ame esse grupo, não posso fingir que isso não acontece.
Nesse texto, pretendo falar sobre porque a SM sĂł dĂĄ tiro no pĂ© quando o assunto Ă© o grupo. Tudo isso poderia ser resumido a uma Ășnica palavra: branding.
NĂŁo vou entrar em detalhes de polĂȘmicas envolvendo o nome dos membros e da empresa, mas saibam que isso tambĂ©m contribui para esses ruĂ­dos na imagem do NCT. Essa Ă© uma continuação desse post sobre a identidade visual do grupo.
A primeira inconsistĂȘncia maior que gostaria de pontuar, Ă© de que o NCT foi vendido como um grupo inovador e isso consta em seu prĂłprio nome: Neo Culture Technology. Dito isso, seu marketing foi maiormente feito em cima do conceito de um sistema ilimitado de membros, de um sistema de graduação de uma das unidades, e tambĂ©m do fato de que cada unidade representaria algo diferente, alĂ©m de uma regiĂŁo. Essa foi a propaganda que sustentou o NCT por anos. PorĂ©m, a longo prazo nĂŁo foi possĂ­vel sustentar.
Tumblr media
Quando houve esse rompimento, seria necessårio ter feito um rebranding do NCT, pois, quando uma marca perde um pilar importante é fåcil para ela se tornar irreconhecível no mercado em seguida. Imagine esse exemplo pråtico: se a Apple deixasse de usar a maçã para representå-la, a credibilidade da marca seria duramente afetada, pois foram anos e anos sustentando aquela imagem como peça fundamental.
Segundo ponto: o NCT não possui uma logomarca forte. Sei que eles debutaram em uma época em que o design se tornava bastante minimalista, mas para mim é um erro amador vindo de uma empresa do porte da SM. Pode até ser que na época fosse visto como um movimento datado, mas infelizmente uma logomarca é um ponto importante para reconhecer uma marca antes de ela se apresentar propriamente.
Tumblr media
Dentro de sua logo, ao menos um singelo sĂ­mbolo, o NCT precisaria ter... Pois uma marca Ă© principalmente construĂ­da a partir de conceitos visuais e estĂ©ticos. O pĂșblico a quem uma marca atende, precisa sentir que faz parte de algo, quase como se fosse um clubinho.
Outro ponto: resistĂȘncia no uso da cor verde nos materiais relacionados ao grupo. O NCT 127, por exemplo, começou a utilizar o "verde neo" em Regular; jĂĄ era o terceiro comeback do grupo. Hoje em dia, venhamos e convenhamos, o verde do NCT Ă© a Ășnica coisa que os identifica. Imagine se esse artifĂ­cio fosse bem aproveitado desde o inĂ­cio do grupo? O verde neo, alĂ©m de identificar o grupo, nĂŁo Ă© uma cor tĂŁo comum, Ă© uma cor geralmente associada a extraterrestres, entĂŁo chama a atenção para esse lado dos caras serem "diferentes", algo novo posto Ă  mesa.
Tumblr media
PrĂłximo ponto: resistĂȘncia a conceitos fixos. Sei que esse ponto Ă© o que mais vai gerar discordĂąncias, mas Ă© minha opiniĂŁo pessoal. Vejo que grupos de empresas nĂŁo tĂŁo conhecidas acabaram fazendo seu nome no meio dessa forma. Repetindo conceitos para o pĂșblico entender a proposta, e depois de terem se estabelecido, puderam começar a ousar. Para um pĂșblico se identificar com um artista, Ă© essencial ter algo com o que se identificar. Se vocĂȘ tenta se identificar com todo mundo, entĂŁo vocĂȘ nĂŁo se identifica com ninguĂ©m. O conteĂșdo se torna genĂ©rico.
Por Ășltimo, mas nĂŁo menos importante, e como mencionei nĂŁo vou adentrar em polĂȘmicas, mas a associação a marcas que nĂŁo tem tanto a ver com o NCT, nem com os membros. Para um nome ser crĂ­vel no mercado, tudo aquilo que se associa a ele tambĂ©m precisa seguir a mesma linha. Dificilmente essa narrativa serĂĄ construĂ­da com marcas e feats com artistas desconhecidos para quem consome Kpop, ou que nenhuma relação tem com o que o grupo produz. Acaba se criando aquele efeito de quando vemos a FĂĄtima Bernardes fazendo publicidade para a Seara. Sabemos que ela nĂŁo come Seara, nem a pau.
Quais seriam as soluçÔes?
O NCT precisa urgentemente de um rebranding, alguém que pense isoladamente em soluçÔes para erguer esse nome que estå sempre à beira de se tornar algo, mas continua somente a tocar a superfície.
A peça fundamental seria a repetição de conceitos atĂ© que o grupo se tornasse uma marca identificĂĄvel novamente. Se antes reconhecĂ­amos o NCT pelo seu conceito de nĂșmero ilimitado de membros, que nĂŁo existe mais, agora iremos conhecĂȘ-lo por suas unidades focadas em pĂșblicos diferentes, de verdade.
A unidade que melhor tem feito isso Ă© o Wish, pois eles pegaram um nicho de conceitos fantasiosos e estĂŁo trabalhando muito bem em cima deles, tal qual o Dream no inĂ­cio da carreira. O 127 e o Wayv nunca tiveram esse tipo de cuidado sobre eles. Alguns comebacks sĂŁo bem melhor trabalhados que outros, o que cria um desequilĂ­brio em sua imagem. A unidade para comebacks aleatĂłrios sempre foi o NCT U, entĂŁo, nĂŁo entendo a necessidade que a SM tem de querer agradar todos os pĂșblicos utilizando as demais unidades, contribuindo apenas para a perda da identidade dos seus grupos.
NĂŁo acho que seja por acaso o fato de Kick It ter sido um grande sucesso {o maior do NCT atĂ© agora}, sendo esse o primeiro comeback construĂ­do em torno de um conceito e um universo prĂłprio, com a primeira logomarca com um sĂ­mbolo. O mesmo podendo ser dito a respeito dos grandes projetos do NCT. A primeira mĂșsica realmente estourada do grupo, Boss, fazia parte de um grande projeto conceitual. E falando nisso, ao meu ver, esses projetos deveriam ser o carro chefe do grupo, para reforçar o seu diferencial, que sĂŁo suas unidades diversas. Ainda nessa vibe, poderia citar Glitch Mode. PoderĂ­amos ainda fazer vĂĄrios comebacks usando somente a cor verde como principal, criarmos uma ou algumas logomarcas para cada unidade, um mascote e um lightstick que fizesse sentido com toda essa histĂłria.
Tumblr media
A prĂłxima sugestĂŁo tem a ver com suas associaçÔes. Publicidade que tenha relação com os membros e/ou o grupo, para atender o pĂșblico que jĂĄ o consome. Por exemplo, ao invĂ©s de investir numa colaboração com uma marca de cafĂ© genĂ©rica, porque nĂŁo usar o Jaemin ou o Johnny e criar uma linha de cafĂ© para eles? Nem que seja limitada, vendida somente pela loja da SM. NĂŁo apenas atrairia lucro, como ajudaria a criar um universo de marca mais crĂ­vel. Vale lembrar que o melhor marketing ainda Ă© aquele feito boca a boca, entĂŁo, a partir do momento em que a marca atinge um pĂșblico fiel, ele mesmo irĂĄ se encarregar de atrair mais pĂșblico, e pĂșblico que queira consumir constantemente. Porque nĂŁo aproveitar a exposição de fotos do Jaemin e fazer uma colaboração com a Kodak ou a Fujifilm? Isso traria mais coerĂȘncia para marca NCT do que um patrocĂ­nio da Prada traz, por exemplo.
Algumas publicidades que a SM acertou foram o jogo de celular NCT Zone, porque combina com o conceito tecnolĂłgico, alĂ©m de que os kpopers geralmente estĂŁo inseridos no mundo Geek e acabam se interessando por esse universo. Da mesma forma com a Sanrio e agora Pokemon. É mais fĂĄcil ver um kpoper consumindo algo da Hello Kitty do que da Ferragamo, por exemplo. AssociaçÔes nĂŁo condizentes prejudicam a imagem da marca. Carregam uma ilusĂŁo de visibilidade e lucro, que na verdade tem pouca duração e termina de enterrar a credibilidade tanto do NCT quanto da SM como empresa.
Do que uma marca de sucesso Ă© feita? Eu respondo: um universo de sĂ­mbolos crĂ­veis. A ideia de que vocĂȘ precisa consumir aquele produto para fazer parte de algo. E essa ideia Ă© sustentada por sĂ­mbolos e açÔes que identificam seu pĂșblico alvo. Para um fandom isso Ă© muito mais do que necessĂĄrio, isso Ă© imprescindĂ­vel. EntĂŁo, atĂ© o Wish {essa unidade tem uma identidade visual forte} chegar, o NCT nĂŁo tinha nenhum tipo de sĂ­mbolo visual, nenhum tipo de logomarca ou mascote, algo que ajudasse a identificar o grupo e as pessoas que o acompanham. O fato das fĂŁs terem criado esses sĂ­mbolos, como por exemplo, os bichinhos de pelĂșcia que identificam os membros e, em seguida, a empresa ter copiado a ideia, demonstra amadorismo. Como pode um fĂŁ pensar numa necessidade do pĂșblico, antes de uma empresa que estĂĄ hĂĄ anos no mercado?
O que ocorre Ă© que, a longo prazo, Ă© cada vez mais difĂ­cil se identificar com algo genĂ©rico e feito somente no intuito de vender. Por mais fĂștil que seja o motivo para agregar, ele deve existir. É terrĂ­vel concluir que o inĂ­cio do fim do NCT como marca, infelizmente, começou logo apĂłs seu debut, com os caminhos tortos que a empresa decidiu tomar demonstrando amadorismo muitas vezes, alĂ©m de falta de planejamento e posicionamento. Salva de vaias para uma empresa que, a cada ano que passa, demonstra cada vez mais desconexĂŁo com a maioria do pĂșblico que ainda busca seus produtos, num misto de desinteresse a falta de autoridade.
Penso em fazer outros posts nessa mesma linha, analisando antigos comebacks do grupo, bem como alterando aqueles que nĂŁo sĂŁo do meu agrado. Comente se vocĂȘ gostaria de ver alguma anĂĄlise especĂ­fica envolvendo o NCT!

Group E, Round 3, Poll 2:
Tumblr media
Propaganda under the cut
Aaravos
He can't lie according to some curse or sm so he just manipulates thoughts and feelings to the point where basically eveybody dies bc of him plus he's hot
Aaravos gaslight gatekeep girlbossed his way into having a baby homunculus with another man in a different dimension from him. I feel that is import to note.
Jason "J.D." Dean
Jason Dean embodies all the components of being a girlboss- he gaslights with a passion and he gatekeeps to no end. His romance with Veronica showcases his completely insane and obsessive nature. He gaslights her on the daily, and accuses her of being the one who wanted all of their murders to take place. When they break up, he goes to her house to attempt to gatekeep her from living, only to be disappointed by the fact that she tricked him into believing that she beat him to it. This does an excellent job of demonstrating just how much of a gatekeeper he is- he cant fathom anyone Veronica even implies disliking, to the slightest extent, being an individual who deserves to live. His murders are a very girlboss move, in my humble opinion. Those who dont like him and are enemies of Veronica are targets- take Heather Chandler, their first victim, as an example. Veronica and her had a complex relationship- specifically one in which they were best frenemies. However, he chooses to gatekeep Veronica and her friendship with Chandler by killing her, and gaslights her by convincing her that she wanted her dead. He deserves to be girlboss number one (or at the very least an honorary girlboss) because he gatekeeps, gaslights, and girlbosses for the entirety of the movie. In summary Gatekeep- kills people to gatekeep Veronica as a person Gaslight- lies to and manipulates Veronica Girlboss- kills people for funsies

Eu acho muito irĂŽnico exigirem algo deles, sendo que a Ășnica culpada disso tudo Ă© a maldita da SM. Esperam o que? Que escrevam desculpas em um papel e poste? Todo mundo sabe o lixo que a SM Ă© e tudo isso Ă© culpa da prĂłpria. Claro, eles foram GRANDÕES se manifestando contra isso. Mas tambĂ©m nĂŁo Ă© justo atacarem os outros quando claramente a empresa tem muito controle sobre os idols. Estou muito chateada com essa situação e a visĂŁo que alguns fĂŁs estĂŁo tendo sobre eles de uma coisa que eles infelizmente nĂŁo tem controle.
Olha eu acho que todos eles como um todo representam a marca NCT e eu tenho certeza que essa propaganda chegou pra eles e foi aprovada muito antes de se tornar pĂșblico. E Ă© muita ingenuidade acreditar que a SM detĂ©m 100% de controle sobre os idols, essa conversa sĂł torna todos eles passivos, sendo que nĂŁo Ă© assim que a gente vĂȘ que funciona (tanto que 3 deles, bem ou mal, deram posicionamentos).
Eu, ou qualquer outra fĂŁ, tem direito de fazer juĂ­zo quando nĂŁo existe nada alĂ©m do silĂȘncio. A situação por si sĂł Ă© feia demais, eles tĂŁo associados com uma empresa que tem apoiado um genocĂ­dio. VocĂȘ sĂł pode estar louca em achar que isso sĂł tem dedo da SM, se tem a marca e o nome deles associados, eles TAMBÉM estĂŁo lucrando com isso

Venti di guerra.
Con l'innesco di Hamas sembra che la guerra sia diventata l'unica notizia esistente al mondo, che sia in medio oriente o in Europa non importa, l'importante Ăš scatenare paura. Ieri ha mio figlio gli Ăš arrivato la famosa "cartolina" della leva, in realtĂ  Ăš un sms, a breve vestirĂ  una divisa come tanti ragazzi della sua etĂ  un pĂČ in tutto il mondo. A tal proposito ieri sera la mia compagna mi ha chiesto "Se ci invadono dove andiamo?", intendeva i russi, "in Italia, pensi che mia madre non ci viene a prendere lei con l'auto direttamente?". Si lo so che fare battute a una cosa cosĂŹ seria non Ăš il massimo, ma non penso che ci invaderanno, almeno lo spero, per il fatto che se lo facessero si tirerebbero dietro tutti i paesi della NATO, anzi, i cari alleati non vedono l'ora che i cattivoni di turno invadano uno dei paesi membri in modo da cercare di finirli definitivamente. Oggi leggo che un paio di giorni fa c'Ăš stato un sabotaggio alle condotte del gas tra Finlandia ed Estonia, nessuna esplosione e perdita di gas come per il nordstream, e il tubo Ăš stato chiuso per evitare casini, sembra che lo stiano riparando o comunque controllando, l'articolo del Postimees (giornale estone) dice che l'erogazione del gas non subirĂ  conseguenze perchĂ© c'Ăš un altro tubo che viene dalla Lettonia, ma a me che me frega io non ce l'ho il gas a casa. Sicuramente c'Ăš dell'apprensione e in questa situazione la propaganda occidentale crea ancora piĂč paura e tensione. Da noi si dice "paura e soldi non ne ho mai avuti", che poi a differenza dell'Ucraina qua in Estonia non c'Ăš un cazzo, nessun giacimento minerario, qualcuno dice che gli servirebbe come porto, ma perchĂ© se hanno San Pietroburgo, qualcuno mi disse tempo fa (quel coglione uruguaiano) "ma li il mare si ghiaccia di piĂč", guardando la mappa Ăš piĂč o meno sono alla stessa altezza di Tallinn quindi non so quanto si ghiaccia di piĂč e poi mi volete dire che la russia che ha parte del territorio nel circolo polare non ha delle navi spacca ghiaccio? Non sono filo putinano o simpatizzante russo, ma questi ragionamenti non solo aumentano la tensione e la paura ma sono assurdi e poco logici, anche se fosse, ricorderei a questi disfattisti e pessimisti che il governo ha accettato di infilarsi nella NATO cosĂŹ facendo si Ăš automaticamente messo sulla punta del naso del dittatore di mosca. Io penso, questa Ăš una mia opinione, che si poteva fare un cordone di paesi cuscinetto tra nato e russia, con la specifica scritta a caratteri cubitali, che se i russi avessero invaso uno dei cuscinetti i paesi nato fossero autorizzati a difenderli, poi naturalmente questo Ăš il pensiero di un musicista, un pacifista. Se non scrivo piĂč vuol dire che ci hanno bombardato.

Die Cybersecurity befindet sich derzeit in einem dramatischen Wandel. WĂ€hrend Cyberkriminelle zunehmend KI-gestĂŒtzte Angriffsmethoden entwickeln und ihre Taktiken verfeinern, stehen Unternehmen vor der Herausforderung, mit der wachsenden KomplexitĂ€t von Multi-Cloud-Umgebungen und strengeren Datenschutzbestimmungen Schritt zu halten. Was bedeutet das fĂŒr die Cybersicherheit im kommmenden Jahr? 2024 hat gezeigt, dass staatlich gelenkte Cyberspionageoperationen eng mit geopolitischen Dynamiken verknĂŒpft sind. Auch 2025 werden APT-Operationen globale und regionale Konflikte widerspiegeln. Die Cyberspionagekampagnen, die diesen Konflikten vorausgehen, werden sich nicht auf große Nationen beschrĂ€nken, die in der Vergangenheit als wichtigste Cyberakteure galten, sondern auf eine Vielzahl von Akteuren ausweiten, die sich auf regionale Konflikte konzentrieren und ĂŒber das Internet einen asymmetrischen Vorteil erzielen wollen. DarĂŒber hinaus werden staatlich unterstĂŒtzte Gruppen Cyber-Operationen ausfĂŒhren, um andere nationale Ziele wie Propaganda oder die Generierung von Einnahmen zu erreichen. TĂ€ter werden wahrscheinlich die fortschreitende Balkanisierung des Internets nutzen, um zu versuchen, ihre gefĂ€hrlichen Payloads zu verbreiten. (Joshua Miller, Staff Threat Researcher bei Proofpoint) Cyberkriminelle werden sich KI zunutze machen Wir sind aktuell Zeugen einer faszinierenden Entwicklung im Bereich der KI: Die Modelle werden immer leistungsfĂ€higer und halbautonome KI-Agenten werden in automatisierte ArbeitsablĂ€ufe integriert. Dieser Fortschritt eröffnet Cyberkriminellen viele Möglichkeiten zur Manipulation privater Daten, die von LLMs (Large Language Models) verwendet werden. Weil KI-Agenten zunehmend auf private Daten in E-Mails, SaaS-Dokumentenspeichern und Ă€hnlichen Quellen angewiesen sind, um Kontext zu generieren, werden diese zu Bedrohungsvektoren, die es zu schĂŒtzen gilt. 2025 werden wir die ersten Versuche von Cyberkriminellen sehen, private Datenquellen zu manipulieren. Beispielsweise können TĂ€ter KI absichtlich tĂ€uschen, indem sie private Daten, die von LLMs verwendet werden, verunreinigen – z. B. in Form absichtlicher Manipulation von E-Mails oder Dokumenten mit falschen oder irrefĂŒhrenden Informationen –, um die KI zu verwirren oder zu schĂ€dlichen Handlungen zu verleiten. Diese Entwicklung erfordert erhöhte Wachsamkeit und fortschrittliche Sicherheitsmaßnahmen, um sicherzustellen, dass KI nicht durch falsche Informationen getĂ€uscht wird. (Daniel Rapp, Chief AI and Data Officer bei Proofpoint) MMS-basierte Cyberangriffe MMS-basierte Angriffe (Multimedia Messaging Service), bei denen Nachrichten mit Bildern und/oder Grafiken verwendet werden, um Benutzer von MobilgerĂ€ten dazu zu verleiten, vertrauliche Informationen preiszugeben oder auf Betrugsversuche hereinzufallen, sind ein aufkommender Angriffsvektor, der sich 2025 rasch ausbreiten wird. MMS basiert auf dem gleichen Prinzip wie SMS und ermöglicht das Versenden von Bildern, Videos und Audiodateien, was es fĂŒr Angreifer zu einem mĂ€chtigen Werkzeug macht. Cyberkriminelle betten bösartige Links in Nachrichten ein, die Bilder oder Videos enthalten, um sich als seriöse Unternehmen oder Dienste auszugeben und die Nutzer zur Preisgabe sensibler Daten zu verleiten. Mobilfunknutzer sind sich oft nicht bewusst, dass sie MMS verwenden, da diese nahtlos in herkömmliche SMS integriert sind, was einen idealen NĂ€hrboden fĂŒr Angriffe bietet. (Stuart Jones, Director, Cloudmark Division bei Proofpoint) KI und die GeschĂ€ftsprozesse Vor einigen Jahren waren Cloud Computing, Mobile und Zero-Trust nur Schlagworte, heute sind sie fester Bestandteil der GeschĂ€ftsprozesse von Unternehmen. KI-Technologien, insbesondere generative KI, werden aus der Perspektive des KĂ€ufers genauer unter die Lupe genommen, und viele sehen darin ein Risiko fĂŒr Dritte. Informationssicherheitsbeauftragte stehen nun vor der Aufgabe, das VerhĂ€ltnis zwischen Risiko und Nutzen sowie die Auswirkungen des Risikos von KI-Tools zu bewerten. CISOs fragen genau nach, wie Mitarbeiter KI nutzen, um zu verstehen, wo sie möglicherweise sensible Informationen einem Risiko aussetzen. Infolgedessen wird die Art und Weise, wie KI-Tools LLMs nutzen, genauer unter die Lupe genommen werden. So wie die Etiketten auf Lebensmittelverpackungen (die erstmals in den 60er und 70er Jahren aufkamen) Auskunft darĂŒber geben, welche Zutaten bei der Herstellung eines Lebensmittels verwendet wurden, werden CISOs heute zunehmend fragen: Was ist in diesem KI-Tool enthalten und woher wissen wir, dass es korrekt hergestellt und abgesichert wurde? (Patrick Joyce, Global Resident Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) bei Proofpoint) Verbraucher als Versuchskaninchen In den AnfĂ€ngen des Online-Betrugs waren einzelne Verbraucher das Ziel; heute, nach zwei Jahrzehnten der Entwicklung des Cybercrime-Ökosystems, sehen wir Ransomware-Betreiber, die Dutzende Millionen Dollar von Unternehmen erpressen. Im Laufe der Zeit haben mehrschichtige Abwehrmaßnahmen und ein erhöhtes Sicherheitsbewusstsein die Unternehmen vor vielen der alltĂ€glichen Bedrohungen geschĂŒtzt. Infolgedessen konnten wir eine Zunahme von Akteuren beobachten, die sich wieder auf einzelne Verbraucher konzentrieren, um an Geld zu kommen. Pig Butchering und ausgeklĂŒgelter Jobbetrug sind zwei Beispiele, die sich auf Social Engineering außerhalb des Unternehmensumfeldes konzentrieren. Die Zahl der weniger raffinierten TĂ€tergruppen, die alternative KommunikationskanĂ€le wie soziale Medien und verschlĂŒsselte Messaging-Apps nutzen, um Privatpersonen auszunehmen, wird wieder zunehmen. (Selena Larson, Staff Threat Researcher bei Proofpoint) Das „Wie“ der Bedrohungslandschaft verĂ€ndert sich Die Ziele der Cyberkriminellen haben sich in den letzten Jahren kaum verĂ€ndert. Ihre Angriffe sind nach wie vor finanziell motiviert, wobei Business Email Compromise (BEC) auf betrĂŒgerische Überweisungen oder den Kauf von Geschenkkarten abzielt. Angriffe mit Ransomware folgen nach wie vor einer anfĂ€nglichen Kompromittierung durch Malware oder mittels eines legitimen Remote-Management-Tools. WĂ€hrend sich also das eigentliche Ziel, Geld zu verdienen, nicht geĂ€ndert hat, entwickelt sich die Art und Weise, wie die Angriffe durchgefĂŒhrt werden, um an dieses Geld zu gelangen, in rasantem Tempo weiter. Die Schritte und Methoden, die Cyberkriminelle anwenden, um ein Opfer zum Herunterladen von Malware oder zur Zahlung an einen gefĂ€lschten Anbieter zu verleiten, umfassen inzwischen sehr ausgefeilte und komplexe Taktiken und Techniken. Im vergangenen Jahr haben finanziell motivierte TĂ€ter Social Engineering in E-Mail-Threads mehrerer kompromittierter oder gefĂ€lschter Konten genutzt, um Antworten zu manipulieren, „ClickFix“-Techniken eingesetzt, um Opfer zur AusfĂŒhrung von Powershell-Code zu bewegen, und legitime Dienste – wie Cloudflare – missbraucht, um ihre Angriffsketten komplexer und vielfĂ€ltiger zu gestalten. Wir gehen davon aus, dass der Weg vom ersten Klick (oder die Antwort auf die Payload der ersten Stufe) in nĂ€chsten Jahr immer zielgerichteter und komplizierter wird, um Verteidiger und insbesondere automatisierte Lösungen auf die falsche FĂ€hrte zu locken. (Daniel Blackford, Head of Threat Research bei Proofpoint) Die Rolle des CISO wird sich wandeln Im Jahr 2025 wird sich die Rolle des CISO sowohl erweitern als auch verkleinern. Einige CISOs werden mehr Verantwortung in ihrem Aufgabenbereich bzw. ihrer Rolle ĂŒbernehmen mĂŒssen, wĂ€hrend es bei anderen zu einer Fragmentierung kommen kann. CISOs sind in den meisten Vorstandsetagen bereits eine feste GrĂ¶ĂŸe. Viele von ihnen werden nun die Aufgabe haben, Diskussionen zu fĂŒhren und die Bedeutung von Cyberrisiken auf Vorstandsebene zu erlĂ€utern, was eine Erweiterung der traditionellen Verantwortlichkeiten von CISOs darstellt. Auf der anderen Seite hören wir immer hĂ€ufiger von FĂ€llen, in denen die (ohnehin schon wichtige) Rolle des CISO aufgeteilt wird – mit der BegrĂŒndung, dass die Arbeit „zu viel fĂŒr eine Person ist“. Ich glaube nicht, dass dies ein allgemeiner Trend ist oder sein wird, aber zuweilen wird damit begonnen, die Rolle zwischen Cyberarchitektur, Bedrohungsabwehr und Incident Response auf der einen Seite und Cyber-Governance, Risiko und Compliance (GRC) auf der anderen Seite aufzuteilen. Wenn sich dieser Trend fortsetzt, werden wir es mit einer Schlange mit zwei Köpfen zu tun haben, und es wird schwieriger werden zu erkennen, wer am Ende des Tages die Verantwortung trĂ€gt.

Todas las naciones se verĂĄn envueltas en el nuevo sistema digital globalizado
Tumblr media
Todas las naciones ricas y pobres se verĂĄn envueltas en el nuevo sistema digital globalizado promovido por la ONU y el FEM: "Nadie se quedarĂĄ atrĂĄs"
La naciĂłn de KazajstĂĄn, uno de los vecinos del sur de Rusia, se ha asociado con el Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo para implementar una nueva identificaciĂłn digital que ofrece programas de bienestar social llamados "Tarjeta Familiar Digital".
Este es solo un ejemplo de cĂłmo la identificaciĂłn digital vendrĂĄ a usted, independientemente de dĂłnde viva en el planeta Tierra en el siglo 21.
La identificación digital vendrå en muchas formas tentadoras adaptadas a diferentes tipos de personas en los estratos sociales. El de Kazajstån estå destinado a atraer a los pobres y dependientes, ya sean madres solteras que dependen de cupones de alimentos o cuidado de niños, o ancianos que dependen de su cheque de Seguridad Social y atención médica subsidiada por el gobierno. El resultado final ¿Una red masiva de espionaje del gobierno capaz de penetrar hasta el nivel del hogar de cada familia que se inscriba?
Si bien el esquema de "Tarjeta Familiar Digital" se introdujo por primera vez en 2022, se dio a conocer al mundo la semana pasada antes de la Cumbre de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de la ONU en la ciudad de Nueva York. Esto significa que es un programa modelo de la ONU diseñado para ser implementado en todas las naciones.
La Tarjeta Familiar Digital se estĂĄ promoviendo para lograr el ODS # 10 "ReducciĂłn de las desigualdades", segĂșn el Representante Residente Adjunto del Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo en KazajstĂĄn.
Una hoja informativa publicada el 13 de febrero de 2023, titulada "Digitalización para el desarrollo sostenible y el bienestar social de la sociedad", explica cómo funciona la Tarjeta Familiar Digital.
SegĂșn explica la ONU, la Tarjeta Familiar Digital es la siguiente:
La Tarjeta Familiar Digital es Ășnica en el sentido de que proporciona un Ășnico punto de interacciĂłn entre las agencias gubernamentales para apoyar a la poblaciĂłn en ĂĄreas como educaciĂłn y protecciĂłn social, finanzas, justicia y apoyo mĂ©dico y social, etc. DespuĂ©s de recibir los datos con la evaluaciĂłn de vulnerabilidad familiar, la Tarjeta Familiar Digital inicia automĂĄticamente las medidas de apoyo estatal, identifica a la autoridad pĂșblica responsable y, a travĂ©s del gobierno electrĂłnico ('e-gobierno') proporciona el servicio en modo proactivo. Ahora los ciudadanos no tienen que acudir a cada uno de los servicios pĂșblicos para solicitarlo. El principio de la Tarjeta Familiar Digital es tan simple como puede ser: al destinatario potencial del apoyo estatal se le envĂ­a una notificaciĂłn por SMS para dar su consentimiento para la prestaciĂłn de un servicio pĂșblico. Si el beneficiario estĂĄ de acuerdo, se otorga un beneficio social, pago u otro tipo de apoyo y luego se acredita en su cuenta bancaria.
AquĂ­ estĂĄ el video promocional de la ONU sobre su nueva asociaciĂłn con el gobierno de KazajstĂĄn.

A juzgar por el video anterior, este proyecto suena como un ejercicio masivo de minerĂ­a de datos destinado a atrapar a las familias y hacerlas dependientes del estado para todas sus necesidades.
La idea es hacer que la gente se enganche a estos marcos digitalizados, atrayéndolos promocionando todos los "beneficios", la facilidad de uso, la conveniencia, los folletos gratuitos, y solo después de que las masas estén completamente comprometidas y adictas, se les informarå sobre el lado oscuro de la esclavitud digital.
Como la posibilidad de ser penalizado por un puntaje bajo de crédito social. Este es el mismo sistema ya implementado en China y que ahora se estå introduciendo en una nación tras otra. Pero vendrå en muchas formas, utilizando propaganda especializada dirigida a muchas culturas étnicas y demografías diferentes.
Esto es parte de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de la Agenda 2030 de las Naciones Unidas, que es el plan global para controlar todos los recursos del mundo, tanto vivos como no vivos. El mantra de la Agenda 2030 de la ONU es "Que nadie se quede atrĂĄs".
Este programa en particular estaba vinculado al Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible NĂșmero 10, "ReducciĂłn de la desigualdad". TambiĂ©n promueve el Objetivo de Desarrollo Sostenible 16.9, que exige a los gobiernos que "registren" a todos los ciudadanos del mundo con una identificaciĂłn digital.
El 17 de septiembre, en la reuniĂłn de la Asamblea General de la ONU en Nueva York, Bagdat Mussin, ministro de Desarrollo Digital, InnovaciĂłn e Industria Aeroespacial de KazajstĂĄn, presentĂł la tarjeta familiar digital a la asamblea.
Su presentación fue enterrada dentro de una sesión de mås de seis horas de discursos denominados "SDG Digital".
Mussin se jactĂł de cĂłmo el gobierno creĂł un "lago de datos" compuesto por 18 puntos de datos diferentes y documentaciĂłn de sus millones de familias, que incluyen cosas como sus pensiones, impuestos, registro de bienes raĂ­ces, registros de salud, etc.; que permite al gobierno adquirir y actualizar retroactivamente la Tarjeta Familiar Digital.
"Podemos monitorear las condiciones sociales y económicas, las condiciones del hogar, la atención médica, la educación y otros. [...] Ahora podemos identificar los problemas familiares que deben abordarse", dijo.
Steve Quayle publicĂł un artĂ­culo sobre esta asociaciĂłn entre la ONU y KazajstĂĄn en su sitio web hoy, 21 de septiembre, de The Winepress News y dijo que cualquier naciĂłn que se asocie con la ONU estĂĄ entrando en un "pacto con la muerte".
LlĂĄmalo como quieras, este es el 1984 de Orwell con esteroides. Y pronto llegarĂĄ a una ciudad/estado/paĂ­s cerca de ti. Ahora es el momento de hacer planes y preparativos sobre cĂłmo vivirĂĄs fuera de este floreciente sistema de bestias.
y que ninguno pudiese comprar ni vender, sino el que tuviese la marca o el nombre de la bestia, o el nĂșmero de su nombre. Apocalipsis 13:17

Hoje estamos cercados de tentativas de golpes, que podem nos roubar dados, informaçÔes e atĂ© dinheiro. Com atenção e informaçÔes corretas, Ă© possĂ­vel evitar a grande maioria deles. A empresĂĄria Michelle Menhem, especialista em tecnologias, alerta sobre os principais cuidados: - Clonagem de WhatsApp: nĂŁo digite e confirme qualquer cĂłdigo de segurança que nĂŁo seja dentro do prĂłprio aplicativo e ative autenticação de dois fatores para elevar o nĂ­vel de segurança da sua conta. - Golpe do emprego: muito cuidado ao receber ofertas de empregos tentadoras por SMS e meios digitais. As empresas de recrutamento geralmente nĂŁo utilizam desses meios para fazer contato com os candidatos. Por Ășltimo, fique atento a ligaçÔes falsas, que dizem ser de suporte tĂ©cnico e pedem confirmação de dados, geralmente se aproveitam disso para conseguir senhas e informaçÔes de acessos a aplicativos ou bancos e os prejuĂ­zos costumam ser grandes. “O mais importante ponto Ă© saber a procedĂȘncia dos aplicativos que estĂĄ instalando em seu aparelho celular, se nĂŁo oferecem demais, apenas para capturar seus dados e ter acesso a informaçÔes confidenciais ou que nĂŁo deseja compartilhar abertamente, como geolocalização, histĂłrico de acessos, agenda de contatos e outros. É muito importante tambĂ©m, que ao navegar em sites pelo dispositivo, nĂŁo clique em propagandas enganosas ou pegadinhas, pois isso tambĂ©m pode ser a porta de entrada de vĂ­rus ou apps mal intencionados”, diz Michelle Menhem. A especialista tambĂ©m explica que quando precisar deixar o celular em uma assistĂȘncia tĂ©cnica, procure saber o histĂłrico de atendimento em redes sociais e sites que podem te ajudar nisso e posteriormente, buscar que seja uma assistĂȘncia qualificada para a prestação do serviço. Existem diversos tipos de reparos e os mais avançados como reparo em placa, exigem um nĂ­vel de capacitação maior da loja. Outras dicas importantes que devem ser seguidas, para evitar dores de cabeça, sĂŁo: faça backup de todos os seus dados e fotos, mesmo que seja na nuvem. Se o aparelho tiver cartĂŁo de memĂłria extra, lembre-se de retirĂĄ-lo. Ao chegar na assistĂȘncia, exija um checklist detalhado das condiçÔes do aparelho, conferindo todas as funcionalidades antes de deixar o aparelho na mĂŁo de terceiros. “DĂȘ preferĂȘncia a assistĂȘncias que comprem peças de qualidade e com origem comprovada, que geralmente oferecem garantias. Conversas com pessoas do bairro e pedir indicaçÔes, tambĂ©m pode ser uma boa opção. Leve em consideração questĂ”es como: agilidade, preço justo, especializaçÔes, tempo de mercado e principalmente, garantia”, finaliza.

Group E, Round 2, Poll 3:
Tumblr media
Propaganda under the cut
Aaravos
He can't lie according to some curse or sm so he just manipulates thoughts and feelings to the point where basically eveybody dies bc of him plus he's hot
Will Graham
His whole bit is righteous anger and well. We can say that withholding pertinent medical information and believing his lying about being framed for a string of murders, including that he supposedly killed his surrogate daughter, can make him a little pissed off.

Tumblr media
TOO MUCH LOVE----! O.H.K.O. !!!
Joking aside, Lynn, why do you spoil me so with such kind and sweet words?! I've been writing this girl for almost seven years since she was among the first five muses on I had on this platform. The little sprouting Sophie has grown a lot throughout the years, but a lot of the past continues with her.
It really much means the world to me that Sophie is able to leave some impact/impression on people. Really, as a writer, that is all we really want: something that causes reaction and helps bridge the understanding of written intent/emotion/etc. between writer and reader. In spite of all the chaos she unintentionally attracts, and even with her slips of somberness, Sophie is a lovely lady and I'm glad you see that! ;A;
As for YOU, thank you for being an equally, if not more, supportive and wonderful friend that screams back at me with all the ideas we have!! We have been able to bounce off so many ideas for these two MC losers and draw some many comparisons/contrasts that the planner in me goes "heehoo." ESPECIALLY when we consider F/E with Hakuno and Alter Ego!Sophie and the subsequent tragedy of wanting to live. . . . :^)
I stated it before but I have been often lost in the side games in the Fate-verse and after being exposed to Ha.kuno for so long, she has now infested a big brainworms for Miss Kish.inami. And I already have plans for playing F/ER whenever there is a blasted release date announced for it!!
SPEAKING OF BRAINWORMS--
I cannot WAIT for Hak.uno to get thrown into TWST that way I can continue the Ka.lim/Ha.kuno propaganda that literally started last night and has not left my brain. I rub my little grubby hands like I am a fly.

Week 11:  Global Social Media: China
Have you ever wondered if the government could be controlling the people? Or did you ever imagine the social networking sites that you regularly have access to, let alone have access to the histories/tragedies of your own country could be censored by your government? That has become the reality of China. According to (Spencer 2021), “the estimated number of active users in China are 930 million” and increasing “that’s three times the population of USA”. Interestingly enough, they actually do have their own unique alternatives for social media sites such as your “Google” is their “Baidu”, “Facebook” is “Ren Ren”, “WhatsApp” is “WeChat” and so on. Alongside, China also has an app that keep tabs on their citizen’s, even their thoughts! Although, China has made its mark as the ‘leader of e – commerce of the world’, the Chinese government and communist party believes that the ‘Western influence’ imposes as a threat to the unity of the citizens and further might cause them to seek liberation (why social media is banned in China? 2019).
Tumblr media
The Great Firewall of China: “Golden Shield”
The Chinese controlled internet is already a world that is far apart from the world we live in. According to Chan (2018), “China is able to control such a vast ocean of content through the largest system of censorship in the world, aptly known as the Great Firewall.” In a nutshell, the project was initially started off at 1998, anti – china propaganda and anything that promotes or leads to the ‘western influence’ in the country or on its citizen’s is censored, which is EVERYTHING! For example, The Tiananmen Square massacre is a tragedy that took place in the year 1989, which were initially “student – led” protests for “democracy, free speech and a free press in China” that led to the arrest of “10,000 protestors and killing of hundreds and thousands (History 2020). This tragic incident was condemned by the U.S and the Soviet is still highly censored on the Chinese internet platforms (History 2020). As of now, China has hired and paid people to post positive content about the communist party policy that would win the support of public opinion (Hoffman 2017).
Tumblr media
Besides blocking the world’s most popular social media platforms, it also blocks hate and humiliation towards the leaders, explicit sites, using abusive language, harmful information or news that would trigger the citizens or in any way exploiting their views. According to Economy (2018), “The challenge for China’s leadership is to maintain what it perceives as the benefits of the internet – advancing commerce and innovation – without letting technology accelerate political change”.
Tumblr media
According to Denyer (2016), “As it pursues a broad crackdown on free speech and civil society, China has tightened the screws on virtual private network (VPN) providers that allow people to tunnel under the Firewall”. Yes, it may be frustrating to us but we definitely cannot relate to those living there. Although, there are hefty problems with foreign trade and business because of the censorship, China continues to excel its economic growth abroad while silencing the critics and continuing its controlled regime back at home. Chinese government have already taken steps to strengthen its digital censorship to make it all the more sophisticated, convenient, protected and advanced space.
Is China’s AI technology the answer to future?
China, the most recognized and the most populous in the world, both offline and online, that very much exists with digital dictatorship as well as internet censorship. The country is rapidly increasing towards growth in all fields with a great pace, especially in the field of technology and its innovations. AI is widespread in China, given its sheer usage of mobile phones of all ages for all tasks, it may really be the face of the future (Lee 2020). It reached its recent milestone which was the “Social Credit System”, where every citizen is under the governmental surveillance every hour of the day. The theory is where the citizens’ loyalty is tested through their activities and behavior “from all the sources” composing a score (Lo 2019). According to the score, the “loyal” citizens are able to get benefits be it financially, politically or generally in their lifestyle, but with a low score the government could impose restrictions on them, fine them and blacklist them (Carney 2020).
Tumblr media
Today, we might look at China’s apps as copycats but they were already “building a global artificial intelligence empire, and seeding the tech eco system of the future” (Webb 2018). AI Businesses and the government have come together and seriously making progress towards becoming “the world’s primary AI innovation center by 2030” (Webb 2018). According to (Webb 2018), “China abolished Xi’s term limits and will effectively allow him to remain in power for life. That gives China an incredible advantage over the West. It also gives three of China’s biggest companies – Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent – superpowers. BAT is a part of that well capitalized, highly organized AI plan. The BAT is important to you even if you’ve never used them and don’t do business in China”. People’s Republic of China will one day display enormous impact in e – commerce, “autonomous vehicles” and a prolonged “race to the outer space” (Webb 2018).
