DEBATT. Smarta produkter är på väg att bli en del av vardagen. Det innebär fler lyssnande öron och en närmast total kartläggning av våra liv. Lagstiftare och företag behöver nu täppa till flera avgörande säkerhets- och integritetsbrister, skriver Sinan Akdag, Sveriges Konsumenter.

Allt fler produkter kopplas i dag upp mot internet och varandra i det som kallas för Sakernas internet, eller Internet of Things. Det kan gälla kylskåp, kaffebryggare, värmepannor och hemlarm som alla kan röststyras via smarta högtalare. Vissa uppgifter kan till och med utföras automatiskt. Förhoppningen är att denna utveckling ska leda till ökad resurseffektivitet och en förenklad vardag för oss konsumenter.

Interactive: More than half of the world’s population is now online, but that does not mean we are all seeing the same thing. More than half of the world’s population is now online, but that does not mean we all see the same thing. From being filtered by the government to being delivered by post, the internet can vary enormously depending on where you live. Here are four illustrated examples.

When Apple lost more than $75 billion in market value this past week after a surprise announcement that it is expecting lower iPhone sales than originally projected, the company put most of the blame for its troubles on China, where a slowing economy and the trade war with the United States have hurt sales.

But a bigger issue for Apple might exist much closer to home, in a small, leafy town in Ohio.

That’s where my mom lives. She’s a relatively tech-savvy retiree and a longtime Apple fan who has used many of the company’s products over the years. I learned to type on an Apple IIGS at her office, and she was an early adopter of the original turquoise iMac. These days, she uses her iPhone to check Facebook and Instagram, talk with her friends and relatives, and play solitaire and Words With Friends.

WASHINGTON — In the days after President Trump fired James B. Comey as F.B.I. director, law enforcement officials became so concerned by the president’s behavior that they began investigating whether he had been working on behalf of Russia against American interests, according to former law enforcement officials and others familiar with the investigation.

The inquiry carried explosive implications. Counterintelligence investigators had to consider whether the president’s own actions constituted a possible threat to national security. Agents also sought to determine whether Mr. Trump was knowingly working for Russia or had unwittingly fallen under Moscow’s influence.

On Monday, transparency activist Emma Best published the full “confidential legal communication” sent by WikiLeaks to journalists the day prior, whoch warned them not to repeat any “inaccurate and defamatory claims” about the organization or its founder Julian Assange.

Existence of the 5,000-word email, whoch lists 140 “defamations” with citations, was first reported on Sunday by Reuters. The transparency organization had explicitly asked reporters not to publish the email sent to them.

Meet the hacker europa, a white hat hacker on the Detectify Crowdsource platform. He is based in Italy with a great passion for infosec and relatively new to the bug bounty scene, but seasoned in infosec. We asked him about the kind of bugs he likes to find, why he joined Crowdsource and how persistence helped him turn a duplicate finding into a bug with 8 different bypasses.

Tell us a little about yourself; how and when did you start hacking?

I’m Alessandro, also known as europa, and I’m an infosec aficionado from Italy. I took my first steps in infosec at the age of 12, back in 1997, via IRC channels #hackita and #hack.it on IRCnet, and never really stopped since.
