APT Problematic ACTivity .. in Advancing Cyber Threat/Treat Territories/Virtual Field Team Terrain
I can’t remember which tech company it was, but just to prove a point one of them included a clause along the lines of “you give X_COMPANY the right to use your soul as it sees fit” in the license blindness section of their EULA. A lot of people still ticked the box, and it was several months before a newspaper caught on. ……. My-Handle
My-Handle, you might like to realise, whilst those in the virtual frame for positive practical identification and rightly terrifying attention scamper and scurry to no safe and secure provisional hiding place and sanctuary for immunity and impunity of action, that there do be a delusional self chosen few stylised as members of a relatively small global elite doing God’s work, who presume and assume to enjoy and employ and exploit the same supposition and presumptive permission as was scripted for X_COMPANY ….. you give X_COMPANY the right to use your soul as it sees fit
However, the Abiding Persistent Troubling Problem is they are in no way ready, fit and able or enabled to use such largesse ….. and the cost of their failures in attempts to wield such powers are intelligently designed almighty crippling and catastrophically devastating to them first and foremost with a fervour that does sweet justice proud and which exempts and protects all others from the just exceptional desserts of their perverse and subversive labours.
Now, tell us all here that is not all perfectly fair nor right and there will be frenzies of laudable disagreement capable of manufacturing the most decisive of future fights.
That’s encouraging …. for such is designed to allow them, as it does, to jump on the bandwagon in the vanguard of a promising development or dive right out of the way and bury themselves deep underground and as far away from incoming missiles and missives as is made possible …… destined to be confined and treated as mere spectators to the feats unfolding above.
That binary choice has only the one fabulously correct and engaging decision.
Is not the Great Game to Energise and/or Weaponise IT Almightily, herman , rather than Taunt Progresses and Processes already Safe and Securely Home Made ?
What do you think of ITs AI Developments so far ‽ .
Current par for the present course of future event horizons
when a London-based startup offered to pay him to take job interviews with no intention of accepting any offers.
Excuse me …. but that is standard default fare religiously copied by all those government RFI [Requests for Information] which dangle the carrot of a gazillion dollar/multi million pound sterling contract before one’s eyes.
The secret to unparalleled success in one’s ambition to server uniquely and obliquely the proprietary intellectual property sought and offered, is to feed a few free crumbs which prove far too costly to ignore and deny further stealthy engagement with for a bigger slice of the cakes baked with options to exercise on others planned for future proving and baking.
One thing in such a situation is absolutely certain ….. no home team engagement in such a disruptive constructive competition has the opposition advised and credited with the possibility of prime primary use activity.
“an expanding exercise of non-Western ethical guidelines that both broaden the scope of experimentation and provide justificatory bases for China’s intellectual property laws.”
Those guidelines would be an interesting read, gentlemen [Timothy J. Demy, James Giordano and Gina Granados Palmer]. Would you care to share them so that all supporting National Defense can avail themselves of such as an exotic erotic Eastern advantage.
“Increasing capabilities in AI are such that multi-domain, multi-dimensional and multi-national factors of competitive disposition and exercise of power can be forecasted, and inductive investments in influential domains of capability and power can be engaged and exploited to achieve strategically latent power longevity.”
Quite so, however, increasing capabilities in AI are an known unknown force and source the specific power of which cannot be accurately forecast, other than it is bound to be disruptive and creative with never any degree of certainty or continuity in a particular direction of future travel, and to think that either impossible or improbable and unlikely, will extraordinarily render one stuck in any number of deep and dark ruts to repeat past follies again and again, albeit in a different vein and against myriad phantom new foe of your own imaginative creation ….. and that has one catastrophically disadvantaged against any Great Game Players mindful and cognizant of the fact.
Increasing AI capabilities are Greater IntelAIgent Game Changer, and for SMARTR Players, a devilishly good, heavenly sent opportunity to engage with in making a quantum leaping difference which impacts directly on the nature of future realities/upcoming events for mass multi-media MMORPG hosting.

Re: “it’s in the implementation where things start to get very sticky”
I have to wonder how quantum ‘anything’ can reliably be implemented without some form of entanglement, especially entanglement that can be established at a distance. Entanglement would solve a LOT of problems, but it may ALSO be the most secure comms method of all. …. bombastic bob
Methinks entanglement is both vital and essentially virtually achieved to be universally practical, bombastic bob, and I would agree entanglement would solve a LOT of problems, and for now, …. because who knows what other delights the future will bring, …. be the most secure comms method of all.
Some would tell you hardware plays only a minor supporting role being as how quantum communications is a proprietary intellectual property exchange/hearts and minds meld which does make physical interference practically impossible.

Re: identification of the correct model to deliver the technology strategy
I suppose the secret is to make things extremely simple for them not to stray too far away from the straight and narrow way, Howard Sway, and even initiate live demonstrations of what is now and future available, and as was earlier revealed in answers on a postcard below.
And …. they may much better enjoy being a paying passenger on future programmed journeys far more than worrying in the wallows about the fact that they are not suitably equipped for/with leading drivers.
I wonder how many of these programs are to trick the opposition into wasting more money trying to catch up with your development ? … Yet Another Anonymous coward
Are you specifically referring, Yet Another Anonymous coward, to the leaked tale that China has already conducted sea trials with a shipboard railgun mounted on a Type 072III-class landing ship as far back as 2018, …… a purported fact which had been spurring US railgun development along?
Do you think China and Russia at least nowadays, have learnt more than one will ever know and freely admit to from Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative [Star Wars Program], which earlier had Soviets Satellites chasing their tails and putting themselves in a death spiral spin which they successfully negotiated and pulled out of to further survive and prosper inordinately?

In other words, it’s all well and good having a perfected quantum protocol, but if someone can do memory analysis on A or B’s systems, then your “super secure” key can get pwned. “It’s monumentally naive in my view that the companies producing QKD tech don’t take this head on,” Dr Carney concludes. “Hiding behind ‘magic quantum woo-woo security’ is only going to go so far before people start realising.”
That is as may be, however pwnage is absolutely useless until there is any remote attempt to try take unofficial private and/or pirate advantage of quantum key secured information, and then, as is the recognised nature of perfect quantum protocols, will the information and advantage be immediately changed by key quantum communication partners to render the raiders persons of interest to correctional offices/special forces in service of key quantum security requirements.
It is naive in the extreme to not recognise that sort of interference probing QKD tech for undeclared and inequitable advantage as catastrophically self-isolating and highlighting and designedly [by QKD technology buffers] self-destructive.
Re: “it’s in the implementation where things start to get very sticky”
In theory, theory and practice are the same; in practice, theory and practice are different. ….. Arthur the cat
And such renders to quantum communications practitioners their stealthy secure decidedly unfair and inequitable overwhelming advantage, Arthur the cat.
However, one might like to now know, before there be many proposing to be interested for their own personal selfish gain, It is not a failsafe protocol for everyone whenever only needed for an extremely select few into doing great business with an extremely selective few …. who may or may not be considered chosen and exalted because of what they are purported to be able to do ….. and the emerging evidence would support as being honestly true.
And yes, it’s in the implementation where things start to get very sticky and tricky for many who deserve nothing less and a whole lot more besides, with many not able to survive to experience because of their wilful and wanton sinnings in the past and their encouraging stalwart support for such activities in others.
Practical Fact or Virtual Fiction? …… is there any great difference between the two .. or are they fundamentally the same?
What do you imagine your present and your future to be ? Have you not realised yet that such as party political manifestos and national and international security programs are simply promises of future goals currently impossible to reach and keep ….. and with the arrival of every tomorrow there will be ever more currently impossible to reach and keep future goals to replace them and be destined to be recorded in the annals of history as a virtual fiction in yet another broken unattained and unattainable promise fed to the gullible and seriously undereducated and misguided/maladministered.
Is that the way you exercise and presume to Command and Control the Future for Main Streaming Media Machine Presentation? Do you not see the massive flaw in that which effectively invites outside intervention and surreal stealthy otherworldly exploitation?
Re: Just a couple of quotes to get things kick started
amfM, you know the rule about feeding trolls. … jake
Yes, sure do, jake, as would a Dabbsy/Registered Alistair Dabbs. Trolls are for the discouraged, not for the EMPowering.
Reporting on what is in the nature of a situation published is to admit to sharing what is past whenever the live vital action and overwhelming advantage is in the hosting of what is yet to be and already pending and causing consternation and massive disruption.
That was the seed feed being trialed and trailed for the benefit of others with much to offer hosts hosting and posting manna from heaven and honey from hell and for silly money on El Reg.
On Friday, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has approved a new military command structure that will be based out of the US embassy in Kabul, which will oversee Afghanistan operations after most US combat troops leave the country.
Will it result in anything else other than continuity of the current epic failure after 20 years of overseeing Afghanistan operations with US combat troops in the country?
Does Uncle Sam have fundamentally better plans with greater intelligence to exercise and display for an altogether much more satisfying outcome? The lack of any leaked evidence unfortunately suggests serial failure with the same old failing methodologies and hidden agendas doing their politically destructive and internationally disruptive thing.

No. Certainly not. And to believe and imagine it otherwise has one severely disadvantaged and catastrophically vulnerable to relentless exploitation by forces and sources beyond primitive comprehension.

The British government’s view is that cyber insurance that pays ransoms to criminals is, as the National Cyber Security Centre put it last year, a matter for individual board members. Although The Register asked whether it would condemn the use of cyber insurance to pay ransoms, the GCHQ offshoot wouldn’t be drawn.
Oh, and a matter for individual board members, is that so? Is it any great wonder the GCHQ offshoot remained and remains schtum.
The wage slaves views are that crippling taxation and constantly rising inflation pays a ransom to criminals adding zero value to their lives. Failure to pay such a ransom though is always going to be problematical for criminals, individuals and board members.
Do you see the parallel/singularity in the two cases? And thus the likely enough reason for any number of intelligent unresolved silences which attend and surround such matters.
