This is about the newsletter only. Firstly, thanks again, EA_Kalina. As always I learned something.
The 1,2,3, backup system, wow, that pretty much means never losing anything due to software or hardware failure. I do back up everything, but will add a different method to my current method. No.2 will be setup. As a direct result of this months newsletter. Good stuff.
I don't trust the cloud for sensitive things, but that's my nervous subjectivity.
Remember that certain A.I. software suites (subscription/paid) have access to cloud saves the same way as they do to local files. Not relevant to regular Google searches. But already some people have lost, or revealed sensitive things like even bank log ons.
This is done by clever manipulation with words, over several A.I. sessions. This allows the attacker to put it all together and get access. It doesn't require programming skills. It requires knowledge of how differerent A.I. services work, and skill full wording.
It all sounds frightening, but there are mitigations. The thing is knowledge.
I don't use any particular A.I. or anything beyond game saves for cloud so it would be silly for me to go into any detail. Just passing on what I recently found on a famous tech site. (Two in fact).
My point is if usinging these services, with knowledge their is no need to worry, but the amount of criminal hackers is simply stunning. Some of them are very sophisticated in their method and are professional. It's getting hard for security experts to keep up. M.S. doesn't seem to put much focus on security with windows 11, we, all of us need to know what the current status of all these things are re: security.
That's why these news letters are great. They provide very useful, and interesting info. In addition they spark discussions about the monthly topic so as a community we share important security info, and can research further if needed.
Thanks again for this months security letter. Very important topic, indeed. Timely too!!
