Weekend Edition 47: Fishing For Trump, Phishing, and AI Is Stupid ps 2
Weekend Edition 47 – Microsoft Sucks, AI Is All Their Fault
MS 365 Accounts Hacked... Again
· Phishermen strike again
· Not really MS’s fault, this time
· Digital Hygiene
https://www.techradar.com/pro/microsoft-365-users-targeted-by-major-phishing-campaign
Zoom: “Trust us, Bro.”
· Terms quietly changed in March
· AI training?
· Found by researcher late last month
· Zoom on damage control
· “Trust us, bros...”
https://www.pcmag.com/news/zoom-revises-terms-after-changes-spark-fears-of-ai-learning-from-video
ChatGPT Sucks as a Knowledgebase
· AI not great at parsing good practices in programming
· 517 questions
· 52% wrong (~265), when limited to StackOverflow for information.
· Don’t trust it for anything mission critical, and be prepared to check all of its work
· Think of it as a stupid intern who knows barely enough to get itself into trouble.
https://www.techradar.com/pro/chatgpt-is-a-bad-knowledge-base-confirms-new-study
AI Steals Passwords? Knowledge Is Power
· Know how Google, Alexa, and Siri are always listening?
· Now there are AI’s which can listen to your keystrokes during video conferencing calls
· Once fully trained, these can scrape your passwords from listening to you type
· Very accurate
· 93% via zoom audio
· 95% via infected smart phone
· Yikes
· Audio filtering
· type differently
https://www.pcmag.com/news/ai-can-now-steal-your-passwords-by-listening-to-your-keystrokes
GPTBot to Scrape Your Website: Here’s How to Block It.
· Want your content stolen to train ChatGPT?
· I don’t
· Here’s how to deny it access to your site
· Add this to your site’s robots.txt file
User-agent: GPTBot
Disallow: /
If you only want to block parts of your site, you can do that too, by adding the following:
User-agent: GPTBot
Allow: /directory-1/
Disallow: /directory-2/
