Are you still diligent about making up complex passwords, using two-factor authentication, and afraid of spilling too much on Facebook to avoid being hacked? Exhale, this has already happened and for quite some time.
The truth is, no matter what you do, you will not be able to protect your personal information. But something else can be saved. At the Kaspersky Security Weekend conference, Stefan Tenesi, a senior specialist and analyst at the cybersecurity company, spoke about what to do in order not to finally lose the battle of humanity for privacy. AIN. UA reports from his speech.
I started my career in cybersecurity almost ten years ago and it was interesting for me to see how this niche is changing. Then it all came down to the fight against cyber fraudsters who wanted to get hold of our information. Today, not only criminals, but also governments and corporations are trying to lay their paws on it. A lot of eyes and ears are riveted to the personal data of Internet users. So today I would like to talk about privacy. I think she's gone. This is a battle we almost lost.
We all (or almost all) have Facebook and Twitter. Most of you most likely posted a check-in from the hotel where this conference is taking place. I will not lecture you regarding the dissemination of your location on social networks, because I realize that this is an ordinary human need that few people can resist. Everyone wants to be a star, and social media does a great job of meeting that need. On Facebook, everyone is “his own celebrity” for his followers and friends.
But there is another very ancient and very strong human need - this is privacy. Just look at the old images of Adam and Eve: their most intimate is covered with fig leaves.
In George Orwell's 1984, the author paints a picture of a future world in which every person at home has a camera and a microphone, and the only place to hide from observation is the corner where the camera is installed. But even when you are there, the observer knows where you are.
The world we live in today is not very different from the dystopia outlined by Orwell
Our living rooms have smart TVs with a webcam and microphone and are connected to the Internet. Because it's so convenient to communicate with someone via video chat on the big screen.
But no one forced us to install these televisions in our homes. We did it voluntarily, with our own hands. We bought these TVs and put them in our living rooms. Because we enjoy taking advantage of the opportunities they offer.

Why do the Japanese keep a minimum of things in houses where there is almost no furniture
Looking at the decoration of most Japanese apartments, one can only be surprised that there is practically no furniture in their living space.
