Computer hardware company MSI hacked, BIOS source code and private keys stolen

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, materials

According to reports, the Taiwanese computer hardware company MSI (Micro-Star International) was recently joined to the list of victims of a new ransomware gang that goes by the name “Money Message.” The perpetrators of the cybercrime say that they have taken source code along with other critical material from the company’s network. MSI is a world-renowned leader in the production of computer components, such as motherboards, graphics cards, desktop computers, laptop computers, servers, and other electronic equipment. It brings in more than $6.5 billion in income every year.

Money Message has included MSI on the website that it maintains for the publication of leaked material and has published images of the company’s CTMS and ERP databases in addition to files that include software source code, private keys, and BIOS firmware. If MSI does not comply with the threat actors’ demand for a ransom payment, they will now threaten to release all of the information that was taken.

The Philosophy of A.I. Easily Explained — What is Artificial Intelligence & Its Implications?

Posted by in categories: ethics, information science, robotics/AI

This video will cover the philosophy of artificial intelligence, the branch of philosophy that explores what artificial intelligence specifically is, and other philosophical questions surrounding it like; Can a machine act intelligently? Is the human brain essentially a computer? Can a machine be alive like a human is? Can it have a mind and consciousness? Can we build A.I. and align it with our values and ethics? If so, what ethical systems do we choose?

We’re going to be covering all those equations and possible answers to them in what will hopefully be an easy-to-understand, 101-style manner.

“I still remember when I saw the first [AI-generated] images,” Takagi, a 34-year-old neuroscientist and assistant professor at Osaka University, told Al Jazeera.

“I went into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror and saw my face, and thought, ‘Okay, that’s normal. Maybe I’m not going crazy’”.
