Das Tracking wird über die US-Firma Laserlike abgewickelt. Damit die Empfehlungen in der Seitenleiste auch passen, ist der umfangreiche Zugriff auf Daten, etwa den Browser-Verlauf und die aktuell geöffneten Seiten, nötig. Außerdem sammelt Laserlike IP-Adresse, Zugriffszeiten und Verweildauer auf Webseiten.

Im Rahmen von Test-Pilot tracken Laserlike und Mozilla noch Daten zur Nutzung von Advance, etwa Verweildauer auf empfohlenen Seiten oder Informationen zum Betriebssystem. Was man Mozilla zugute halten muss: Sie verschweigen das Thema Tracking nicht und bauen einen Schalter ein, um Advance pausieren zu lassen.

Auch im Privatmodus oder mit eingeschaltetem Tracking-Schutz funktioniert die Erweiterung nicht. Wer möchte, kann die übermittelten Daten einsehen und löschen.

There are many forces that are shaping the future of the internet today, from artificial intelligence (AI) and cyberthreats to the internet of things (IoT) and the rising role of government—all of which impact key areas, including digital divides, personal freedoms and rights, as well as media and society.

The internet Society (ISOC)’s 2017 Global internet Report found for example that AI and IoT, for all of their benefits to people’s personal and work lives, could result in a “surveillance society.” Therefore, ethical considerations should steer technology development and guide its use.

The survey also found wide-ranging fears that there are significant forces at work that may undermine the promise of the internet for future generations. For example, many believe that internet freedom will continue to decline around the world due to widespread surveillance, internet shutdowns and content regulation. At the same time, cybersecurity issues will pressure governments to take decisions that could erode the open and distributed global governance of the internet. Measures that may be intended to secure cyberspace may undermine personal rights and freedoms. Without a change of course, online freedoms may be nearing a point of irreversible decline, ISOC found.

Despite spending more money on security than ever, organisations struggling with a widespread cybersecurity skills gap are often told how technologies like big data, analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence can aid them in protecting their data or critical infrastructure from attackers.

Organisations ranging from startups to established large corporations are investing in the building of AI systems to bolster defences by analysing vast amounts of data and helping cybersecurity professionals identify far more threats than would be possible if they were left to do it manually.

But the same technologies that improve corporate defences could also be used to attack them.

Funded by DARPA, the government agency that commissions far-out research for the US Department of Defense, this is the Cyber Grand Challenge.

The computers are competing to be the best at a tedious and challenging task that human cybersecurity researchers do every day: find a bug in a software program, then fix it. Right now there aren't enough skilled people to do that job, so this technology could take pressure off IT departments everywhere struggling to stay on top of vulnerabilities in their computer systems.

The number of vulnerabilities in computer software running in the world is impossible to know. Cybersecurity firm Symantec estimated in its 2016 report on internet security threats that researchers across the industry found more than 5,500 new vulnerabilities in 2015 alone. Those bugs tend to stick around, as programmers copy-paste outdated software into new products, and users like you and me forget to update our software.

This new technology, experts say, will also give cyberdefenders a much needed advantage in a war that right now heavily favors the bad guys. It's much easier to find one bug and exploit it than to defend against every single possible weakness in a computer system. This competition hopes to flip that script.

Profitant de la numérisation grandissante des services de paiement, le «dark web» s’est largement structuré ces dernières années, attiré par des gains de plus en plus importants. Entreprises et régulateurs doivent rester vigilants pour ne pas se laisser distancer.

C’est un marché comme un autre, avec ses clients, ses intermédiaires et ses bonnes affaires. Facile d’accès, il offre la possibilité de gagner beaucoup d’argent en très peu de temps. Pourtant, il est illégal puisqu’il s’agit du «dark» web, ce côté obscur d’internet.

As artificial intelligence becomes more and more sophisticated, Palmer told Business Insider in an interview at the FT Cybersecurity Summit in London in September, it will inevitably find its way into malware — with potentially disastrous results for the businesses and individuals that hackers target.

It's important to remember that Palmer is in the security business: It's his job to hype up the threats out there (present and future), and convince customers that Darktrace is the only one that can save them. It's a $500 million (£401 million) British firm, with an AI-driven approach to defend networks. It creates an "immune system" for customers that learns how businesses operate then monitors for potential irregularities.

Malware will learn to mimic people you know

Using recurring neural networks, it's already possible to teach AI software to mimic writing styles — whether that's clickbait viral news articles or editorial columns from The Guardian. Palmer suggests that in the future, malware will be able to look through your correspondence, learn how you communicate, and then mimic you in order to infect other targets.
