'Get The Flock Out My Way!!'
-
There are a lot of things that I do in the 'tech' world. There are a lot of things that I do VERY WELL in the 'tech' world. Cybersecurity is one of those things that I do VERY WELL. - When you have a moment, it's a bit lengthy of a watch, but as a cybersecurity expert who was trained to keep 'urban infrastructure' safe, the whistle-blowers are starting to sound. - We still have time to fix this, but sitting back and thinking our politicians will do it for us is the joke. - To fix some of this will require 'Boston Tea Party' kind of actions. Now, I am in a position that I can help, but I can't do a damn thing at the same time. - Why? - Because they expect me too, and because of that I have 'eyes' on me at all times. I'm not doing anything wrong, and I have nothing to hide, but even if I wanted too, I couldn't. So, because I am in that weird position what I can do is provide knowledge, and knowledge that also comes with receipts. I will never publicly confirm or deny, but I will publicly kick a bees nest just to show folks the swarm, and the potential dangers of a sting. - Data centers are NOT for 'consumer' A.I. purposes alone. Have you noticed the 'Flock and friends' camera systems? They are all controlled by A.I. Not the kind that we get to play with on Google or Bing. Have you noticed, more and more with your device that it wants to use your fingerprint or other bio-metric for security purposes? Or, did you know Ford and GM hold some CRAZY patents that are now being introduced in their new 'Premium' vehicles, like using internal dash cams from the car's media center to keep up with what's going on in the vehicle, and the A.I. systems behind that? What if you learned that the large data center ideas are going to go silent, but at the same time a conversation for smaller (home site) data centers become a topic, and folks jumping to 'house' one on the premise of 'cheaper' internet access and electricity costs. (I've noticed my electric climbing and I have been cutting back, if anything.) Ohh and there's A LOT more, but receipts are still being obtained, but the scariest to me, is that I understand computers, and devices on a level that crosses most people's eyeballs, and they get instantly lost if I try to explain, but I will quickly break it down. - ALL devices have a special identifying address, and its call a MAC address. It's a digital/physical identifier that is specific. SO let's use today's technology as my example. - You just bought a BRAND NEW Ford truck, and man it's NICE! It has the wheels, the height, tinted windows, muffler system, and that awesome media unit that connects to any and all devices with the entertainment upgrade for the kiddos, man, the truck is awesome! The salesman at the dealership was cool enough to explain all the 'safety' features and help you pair your devices, and then set you up for the satellite radio subscriptions, because you got 2 years for free and you didnt want to waste that, its $20 a month otherwise. - You're out and about and you drive by a hidden Flock camera, there are MANY kinds (you probably didnt know that but now you do) 1, is the common flock, taking pictures, reviewing/saving your plate data, observing speed, and collecting information that is training it's internal A.I. systems that we don't know exactly how they work,(Yet, but Uncle Sam will show us) but then you have it's brother, 'ELSAG', this seedy b*stard is designed to scan your car, and collect end point information such as your Blutooth data, wifi adapter types (all phones and tablets have em, cept the Breaking Bad throwaways), and so forth. As you just drove by ELSAG, you probably didn't see it, and you don't care cause you're not doing anything illegal, nor would you, but ELSAG discovered your Apple Phone, Your tablet, and of course it picked up Fords digital transmissions. The A.I. just created a folder or profile and named it for 'you', and in that file it has your phones, tablet, and your cars media information, device types, and models, carrier information, etc. You don't nor won't notice and eventually you pass Flock, and Flock has a photo of your awesome new truck, it also has your license plate data, speed at the time, and so forth, and it has built a folder or profile and named it for 'you'. Well, as time rolls and Flock/ELSAG/Genetec/Vigilante data syncs, your profiles merge into 1, and a map of you is created and fed back to a centralized system (designed for law enforcement/so they say) that has digested, cataloged, and combined all of your private information from these various public sources to be reviewed at discretion. Flock and friends supplied the data set that contains your name, your address, what you drive, who you ride with, what you talk about, where you work, what you listen too, who you talk too, your networks, your security preferences, detailed information about your vehicles devices which have scanned you and built a profile of your driving habits that are recorded, and can transmitted to third parties or stored by Ford for access to train their systems anytime or all the time, and the data that can be procured completely extinguishes any right to privacy you once thought you had. (it does for me) - As you drive by the Flock and friends, your profile is always updated. Location details, media details, driving habits, vehicle data and details, and every metric thats trackable synced in real time. - The data centers were the wake up call. Because we all started asking 'WHY?', we got it. - There was a reason the DEPT of WAR released certain information. People didn't or don't think it is real. I believe these systems are mean't to monitor, but I don't think it is us, or this would have been done years ago. I am going to stop here because I have written an essay, that probably 3 or 5 people total might read this far, and if you know me, you know I can articulate this better in a conversation as opposed to typing it out. - When you get some time.. Please, watch this video. - There's nothing 'new' in there for me. I feel like it is my job as a infosec professional to pass this along in hopes that it is passed along to people who would have otherwise never seen it, or until it was too late otherwise. - No, you don't need a tin-foil hat to watch..hahaha. You just need time.
