Watch two online exclusive extended episodes: Goldrush Can you make 17 million dollars playing soccer online without playing a single game? These four friends found a flaw in EA Sports' FIFA game and used it to generate a lot of in-game currency. But it all ended in tragedy. Their legal battle raises many questions. Do in-game currencies have a value? Once they know about it, should law enforcement let crime continue? We hear from three of the hackers and their families, the prosecutor and the defense. Forsaken Expectations ran high when esports big name Optic Games assembled and trained an Indian 'dream team' to compete in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. No one could have predicted the shocking moment when a scuffle broke out over a bold deception at one of Asia's biggest esports tournaments.

How police identify criminals selling data on the dark web

  • Data and privacy
  • min read
    • In the north of England, a team of officers are getting creative. They're finding ways to identify criminals selling personal data, fake COVID-19 vaccines and child sexual abuse images on the dark web. Tomorrow Unlocked's film Lighting up the Dark Web follows the UK's Yorkshire and Humber Regional Cybercrime Unit (RCCU) in their quest to unmask a crime ring selling personal data for fraud. What is the dark web? The dark web is a network of computers where web traffic is anonymized. Many use it to access marketplaces and other sites to commit crime. The dark web can also be used for good. Dissidents, whistleblowers and investigative journalists use it to communicate anonymously online, and others use it to avoid online data collection. The sale of personal data is big business on the dark web. The US's Federal Trade Commission reported consumers lost nearly $8.8 billion US dollars to scams in 2022. Linking dark web identities and real-world people In 2014, a trader called Data Pro was selling National Insurance numbers, dates of birth, credit card numbers and more on the dark web marketplace Evolution. RCCU suspected the source was a UK-based business. RCCU used 'slips' – when Data Pro occasionally used identifiable information – to link his clear web and dark web identities. How businesses can protect themselves from dark web criminals While the dark web seemed impossible to control in the past, law enforcement is now getting ahead. Businesses can also act to give fraudsters less opportunity to make dark web profits out of their data. First and foremost, protect your business's data from being stolen with strong data security practices, including encrypting your data and educating employees on how to avoid accidentally giving cybercriminals access. Your people are your most important security feature because most breaches start with basic errors like clicking a link in a rogue email or giving login details to someone who isn't who they said they were. If your data is already stolen and ends up on the dark web, dark web monitoring services like Have I Been Pwned may help you identify a breach and alert those whose information was stolen faster. As law enforcement becomes more cyber savvy, there are fewer places for cybercriminals to hide. Increasing international cooperation is also helping light up the darkest parts of the web. Businesses also have a part to play by reducing the opportunities for their data to be stolen and sold.

Securing your Internet of Things: What business needs to know

  • Digital transformation
  • min read
    • Today's businesses are full of things that connect to the internet, from electricity meters to lighting to fridges. In manufacturing and industry, networked devices monitor safety, productivity and maintenance needs, saving money, time and energy. What's not to love? Security for these game-changing IoT devices isn't getting enough attention, argues Chris Kubecka, CEO of Hypatec and distinguished chair of the Middle East Institute in Tomorrow Unlocked's video Internet of Things: When Devices Attack. In fact, poor IoT security has already claimed lives. What is the Internet of Things? IoT devices include any device that connects to a network. They're often called a 'smart' something – like smart meters, lightbulbs and printers. Noushin Shabab, Senior Security Researcher at Kaspersky, says, "The industrial Internet of Things could be worth a trillion US dollars by 2025. Companies like Airbus use IoT for predictive maintenance sensors in aircraft. It's high risk – devices not regularly connected can't receive updates, so are more easily hacked." "These devices are becoming common in homes and industry," says Kubecka. "But most are not properly security tested, and many use outdated operating systems. It's easy for attackers to exploit those and bring down entire businesses." What risks come with unsecured IoT devices? Kubecka describes how in 2014, the German government reported a fatal hack into the network of a steel mill. Attackers flooded the network, and safety systems couldn't operate. Three people were killed and many injured. Other attacks are more domestic, like one Kubecka investigated in Saudi Arabia. "A company bought a bunch of new smart fridges from a supplier that didn't security-test. A criminal gang exploited these fridges and used them for spam and manipulating the stock market." But cybercriminals can use anyone's data and systems for fraud and other money-making schemes, like mining bitcoin. How businesses can better secure smart devices "Makers and sellers of IoT devices must do their part to secure them," says Shabab. She recommends they audit code, test for vulnerabilities and let users update and patch devices themselves rather than updating remotely. Using security expertise helped smart prosthetic limb makers Motorica, who asked Kaspersky to review their device security. Kaspersky's researchers found several vulnerabilities, letting Motorica protect their customers by closing security holes. While IoT makers are getting more security conscious, businesses may already be full of insecure smart devices. Start with an audit of what's connecting to the internet, disconnect anything that doesn't need to connect and make sure connecting devices have strong passwords. If you supply IoT devices, use a secure-by-design gateway like Kaspersky IoT Secure Gateways (KISG.)

In brief: the underwear of things? Tech tackling vaginal infections

Vaginal infections can be a huge issue. Until now, tech has largely overlooked these conditions. this episode of Young Bright Minds looks at ALMA – ‘smart’ underwear that monitors vaginal conditions and alerts the wearer if they may have a vaginal infection, so they can get treatment earlier. How does it work?
