Information Security News: Musk Impersonator, Block Chain Wine, British Hacking, and Uber Breach
7School Principal Resigns after Paying $100K to Elon Musk Impersonator, Microsoft Integrates Bing Image Creator, UK’s National Cyber Force Disrupts Terrorists, Uber Drivers’ Info Stolen from Law Firm, AI and Blockchain Democratizes Wine Investment.
In the first story, Dr. Jan McGee, the principal of a Florida science and technology charter school, resigned after allegedly writing a $100,000 check to an Elon Musk impersonator using school funds. McGee had wanted to get Musk involved in funding the school for years, and someone appears to have picked up her ambition.
The second story discusses Microsoft's integration of the Bing AI-powered Image Creator feature into its Edge web browser. The new image editor lets you edit web images without downloading them first and using an external application.
The third story highlights the UK's National Cyber Force (NCF), which is engaged daily in operations to disrupt terrorist groups, distributors of child sexual abuse material, and military opponents of the UK.
The fourth story reports that Uber has had more internal data stolen from a third party that suffered a security breach. This time, the personal information of the app’s drivers was swiped by miscreants from the IT systems of law firm Genova Burns.
The last story discusses how advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology are poised to democratize wine investment by improving authentication and valuation. Every entity involved in the production, distribution, and sale of wine will be recorded as a block in the chain and made visible to all parties involved.
