#PeterTheil and #Palentir A Clear and Present Danger to Social Democracies. The #Swiss rejected the product, #Australia has not, and the #UK is in the middle of acquiring it for wide useage. If you think this all sounds like some sort of conspiracy theory, well, think again. PeteTheil who owns Palantir is a #Fundamentalist #Christian (aka #ChristoFascist) currently controlling the US propaganda machine in #tRump ‘s service. The same man who recently lectured on the #AntiChris in Rome (the Pope isn’t happy about it).

Also consider this: “The Nerve has identified a previous case in which Palantir claimed proprietary rights to data insights after its contract was cancelled. In the early 2010s, the New York Police Department contracted Palantir to help find high-profile targets using data scraping and analysis. In 2017, it cancelled the contract, but Palantir claimed its platforms – Gotham and Foundry, the same systems used inside the UK government – created a unique ecosystem that sat on top of NYPD data. That meant any analysis derived from those platforms was, they claimed, Palantir’s intellectual property.”

‘It beggars belief’: MoD sources warn Palantir’s role at heart of government is threat to UK’s security

Experts say that claims UK data remains under government ownership miss the point that the company has the capability to build its own detailed picture of the British population, and even infer state secrets. Report by Charlie Young and Carole Cadwalladr

Most people think the biggest cyber threat is a shadowy hacker in a hoodie.

After two decades investigating cyber criminals I can tell you the real answer is far more human.

The intelligence community has used a framework called M.I.C.E for decades to explain why people betray their country. I've spent years applying it to explain why people and organizations get compromised online.

M.I.C.E stands for: Money. Ideology. Curiosity. Ego.

These are the four core motivations behind virtually every cyber attack I've ever investigated. And understanding WHY an attacker acts changes everything about how you defend against them.

→ Money-motivated attackers move fast. Smash and grab.

→ Ideology-motivated attackers are patient. They'll wait months.

→ Curiosity-interest and inquisitiveness leaving to growth .

→ Ego-driven hackers want you to KNOW they were there.

Each motivation requires a completely different defensive posture.

That's the foundation of my new book: How MICE Threaten Cyber Security.

If you work in security, HR, risk, or lead a team - this framework will
change how you think about your threat landscape.

It's available now on Amazon. https://a.co/d/0awR4gNr
