(Shutterstock) Short Url https://arab.news/9qjwu Updated 31 October 2021 AFP October 31, 2021 00:10 1005 IRAN-LINKED HACKERS BREACH ISRAELI FIRM Updated 31 October 2021 AFP October 31, 2021 00:10 1005 JERUSALEM: Hackers believed to be linked to Iran have breached an Israeli internet hosting company, taking down several of its sites, local media reported. The cyberattack hit websites including those of Israeli public transport companies Dan and Kavim, a children’s museum and public radio’s online blog, with none of the sites available to users by midday Saturday. The hacking group known as Black Shadow claimed responsibility for the attack and published what it said was client data, including the names, email addresses and phone numbers of Kavim clients, on the Telegram messaging app. “Hello Again! We have news for you,” the hackers wrote in a message on Telegram on Friday night. “You probably could not connect to many websites today. ‘Cyberserve’ company and their customers (were) hit by us,” it said. “If you don’t want your data leak(ed) by us, contact us SOON.” Later another message read: “They did not contact us ... so (the) first data is here,” with the group dumping the information online. Israeli media said Black Shadow is a group of Iran-linked hackers who use cyberattacks for criminal ends. The group breached Israel’s Shirbit insurance firm in December last year, stealing a trove of data. It demanded a $1 million ransom and began leaking the information when the firm refused to pay. The new attack comes after an unprecedented, unclaimed cyberattack wrought havoc on Iran’s petrol distribution system this week. Iranian media have pointed the finger at government opponents abroad. Iran and Israel have been engaged in a so-called “shadow war,” including several reported attacks on Israeli and Iranian ships that the two have blamed on each other, as well as cyberattacks. In 2010 the Stuxnet virus — believed to have been engineered by Israel and its ally the US — infected Iran’s nuclear program, causing a series of breakdowns in centrifuges used to enrich uranium.

The move is aimed at expanding the company’s regional presence, accelerating digital transformation, and developing tech talent in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, according to a company statement. “Saudi Arabia is an exciting market that has invested heavily in digitalization and the development of people and talent. We have been working with clients in the Kingdom for some time, including a new company within the Public Investment Fund, and we see tremendous opportunities for further growth,” said Hiroki Inagawa, Monstarlab’s group CEO. Founded in Japan in 2006, Monstarlab offers a range of digital services from design and customer experience to data analytics and artificial intelligence. With offices in 29 cities around the world, the firm specializes in end-to-end transformation of enterprise and scale-up businesses Monstarlab’s regional presence includes an office in Dubai, UAE. Through its new Riyadh office, the company will support diversification within the public and private sectors in Saudi Arabia, focusing on customer-centric design and experiences. The new office will be the latest strategic addition to Monstarlab’s growing footprint, which forms part of the company’s overall commitment and investments in the Middle East and North Africa region. “Our goal will be to bring Monstarlab’s global experience and expertise to Saudi Arabia and unlock value for our customers. With a large portion of the nation’s population under the age of 35, we aim to promote the local digital and technology communities,” said Adam Alalwan, Monstarlab’s Saudi-based engagement director. The company will focus on working within key sectors such as tourism and hospitality, finance, government, and healthcare, he added.

Don’t Share it.” Updated 16 min 16 sec ago Arab News November 22, 2021 16:04 102 DUBAI: The UAE’s Digital WellBeing Council, the Ministry of Interior’s Child Protection Center and Meta have launched a new campaign to tackle online child abuse, “Report it. Don’t Share it.” The campaign aims to educate the public about the harm caused by sharing images or videos of child sexual abuse, and how to report such content. Launched on World Children’s Day on Nov. 20, the campaign is based on research conducted earlier this year by Meta and experts on child exploitation, such as the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) and Prof. Ethel Quayle, a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with sex offenders and their victims. “We are taking a research-informed approach to develop effective solutions that disrupt the sharing of child exploitation material,” said David Miles, Meta’s head of safety policy, EMEA. In a statement, Meta said that much of the research on why people engage with child sexual abuse materials has involved evaluations of people’s psychological makeup. However, the company’s research “looks at behavioral signals from a fixed point in time and from a snapshot of users’ life on Meta’s platforms.” Researchers evaluated 150 accounts that Meta reported to NCMEC for uploading child exploitation content in July and August of 2020 and January 2021, and found that more than 75 percent did not exhibit malicious content. Instead, these accounts appeared to share for other reasons, such as outrage or poor humor. Meta said that it reports each individual instance of child exploitation content to NCMEC, including content the company has identified and removed before it was seen by anyone. The study also found that the majority of reports Meta sent to NCMEC had the same or visually similar content. About 90 percent of the images or videos of child sexual abuse analyzed in the study were found to be copies, rather than unique or new content. In addition, just six pieces of visually distinct media were responsible for more than half of all child exploitative content that the company reported. Based on this analysis, the company developed the campaign together with child safety partners to help reduce instances of such content being shared on its platforms. “While this data indicates that the number of pieces of content does not equal the number of victims, one victim is one too many,” said Miles. “Preventing and eradicating online child sexual exploitation and abuse requires a cross-industry approach, and Meta is committed to doing our part to protect children on and off our apps,” he added. If someone feels a child is at risk, they are encouraged to report it to the Ministry of Interior’s Child Protection Centre Helpline on the phone number 116111. If someone sees an image or video on Facebook or Instagram of a child being abused, they are asked to report the photo or video to Meta and law enforcement. Additionally, the campaign also warns people against sharing, downloading or commenting on any such content, as there could be criminal penalties associated with such actions. “No matter the reason, sharing images or videos of child sexual abuse online has a devastating impact on the child depicted in that content. We are working with Meta to get a better understanding of how we can effectively disrupt sharing and prevent re-victimizing children, and also educating people on what they can do to report this crime,” said Abdul Rahman al-Tamimi, director of the Child Protection Center at the Ministry of Interior, United Arab Emirates.

The global show was extended to cover the business landscape in the Middle East region earlier this year. Giokos presents the show from the annual Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where global leaders gathered last month to discuss innovations and solutions to pressing problems. The biggest names in technology and innovation have been making their presence known in Saudi Arabia, as they look to the Middle East as their next frontier for growth. Karadsheh reports on how the Kingdom is attracting businesses to the Kingdom, with the construction of the world’s first cognitive city, NEOM. Jonathan Bradley, CEO of NEOM Tech and Digital Holding, explained the concept of such a city: “When we go to a cognitive city, we mean one that is predictive, that is proactive — in other words, eliminates friction from your life.” Bradley also talked about why he thinks companies are investing in Saudi Arabia. With 60 percent of Saudis under the age of 25, and cloud penetration growing at 40 percent year-on-year, “it’s a growth story,” he said. In Dubai, Giokos met the UAE’s Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence Omar Al Olama to discuss the country’s digital transformation. He spoke about how advances in technology will affect people in the coming years: “We are going to see human beings be able to do their jobs better. They’re going to have a lot more time on their hands, and they’re going to be a lot happier; that is the ultimate goal.” “Our goal as a government is to use all of these tools, whether it’s AI, blockchain, or any other technology to improve the human life in the UAE,” he said. Gold visited Israeli company TytoCare, an on-demand medical service that allows consumers to bring the doctor’s office to their home. The company’s modular smart device allows people to perform eight types of medical exams at home and share the results with their health providers from anywhere, at any time. When the coronavirus pandemic shut down most in-person medical visits, Tytocare experienced exponential growth. CEO and co-founder Dedi Gilad explained the gap in the market that the company fills, saying that the company gets its edge from data analytics. “We created for the first time this very basic, but (previously) inaccessible data. Those sound recordings of the heart, the lungs, the imaging of the ear, the throat, and so forth, were not existing in a digital way anywhere,” he told Gold.

(File/AFP) Updated 22 November 2021 Reuters November 22, 2021 03:56 343 AUSTRALIAN TYCOON TO HELP SMALL PUBLISHERS STRIKE DEALS WITH GOOGLE, FACEBOOK * Australian small publishers will get a leg up in their fight to secure licensing deals with Google and Facebook Updated 22 November 2021 Reuters November 22, 2021 03:56 343 SYDNEY: Australian small publishers will get a leg up in their fight to secure licensing deals with Google and Facebook after the country’s richest person said his philanthropic organization would seek a collective bargaining arrangement for them. The Minderoo Foundation, owned by Andrew Forrest, chairman of iron ore miner Fortescue Metals Group, plans to help 18 small publishers by applying to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) on their behalf so they can negotiate together without breaching competition laws. The move was welcomed by publishers including the Star Observer, Australia’s oldest LGBTQ title, which like some other small publishers did not get a deal with Facebook despite having secured a deal with Google. Forrest’s extra clout as well as the differing approaches to small publishers by Google and Facebook could build momentum for the Australian government to intervene and set fees. Australia broke new ground with a law that has since March required the two tech giants to negotiate with Australian outlets for content that drives traffic and advertising to their websites. But while most major news providers have secured deals, many small publishers have been left out in the cold, criticizing Facebook in particular for its reluctance to take their calls. Other publications that have secured deals with Google but not Facebook include TV broadcaster SBS, the main source of foreign language news, and the Conversation, which publishes public affairs commentary by academics. The ACCC Chair Rod Sims has also on several occasions expressed concern about whether Facebook is approaching the law in the right spirit. The law allows for Australia’s government to set fees if negotiations between tech giants and news providers fail, but at present rejected companies have been left with little recourse as they wait for the government to review the law next March as planned. The 18 small publishers being helped include online publications that attract multicultural audiences and focus on issues at a local or regional level, Emma McDonald, director of Frontier Technology, a Minderoo Foundation initiative, said in a statement. Google reiterated that “talks are continuing with publishers of all sizes.” Facebook said it “has long supported smaller independent publishers.” The foundation’s move comes after ACCC late last month allowed a body representing 261 radio stations to negotiate a content deal.

(AFP file photo) Updated 22 November 2021 AP November 22, 2021 03:35 5550 WHATSAPP PUSHES PRIVACY UPDATE TO COMPLY WITH IRISH RULING * With the update, users in Europe will see a banner notification at the top of their chat list that will take them to the new information Updated 22 November 2021 AP November 22, 2021 03:35 5550 LONDON: WhatsApp is adding more details to its privacy policy and flagging that information for European users, after Irish regulators slapped the chat service with a record fine for breaching strict EU data privacy rules. Starting Monday, WhatsApp’s privacy policy will be reorganized to provide more information on the data it collects and how it’s used. The company said it’s also explaining in more detail how it protects data shared across borders for its global service and the legal foundations for processing the data. WhatsApp is owned by Facebook, now renamed Meta Platforms. With the update, users in Europe will see a banner notification at the top of their chat list that will take them to the new information. WhatsApp is taking the action after getting hit with a record 225 million euro ($267 million) fine in September from Ireland’s data privacy watchdog for violating stringent European Union data protection rules on transparency about sharing people’s data with other Facebook companies. The chat service said it disagreed with the decision, but it has to comply by updating its policy while it appeals. The update doesn’t affect how data is handled, and users won’t have to agree to anything new or take any other action. Ireland’s Data Privacy Commission is the lead privacy regulator for WhatsApp under European Union rules because its regional headquarters is in Dublin. WhatsApp was embroiled in a separate privacy controversy earlier this year when it botched a different update to its privacy policy that raised concerns users were being forced to agree to share more of their data with Facebook. That update sparked a backlash from users who switched to rival services like Telegram and Signal, an investigation by Turkey’s competition watchdog, a temporary German ban on gathering data, and a complaint by EU consumer groups. A six-hour outage of Facebook services last month highlighted how vital WhatsApp has become for its more than 2 billion users worldwide.
