    Security Now! Transcript of Episode #811 Page 1 of 30 Transcript of Episode #811 What the FLoC? Description: This week we briefly, I promise, catch up with ProxyLogon news regarding Windows Defender and the Black Kingdom. We look at Firefox's next release which will be changing its Referer header policy for the better. We look at this week's most recent RCE disaster, a critical vulnerability in the open source MyBB forum software, and China's new CAID (China Anonymization ID). We then conclude by taking a good look at Google's plan to replace tracking with explicit recent browsing history profiling, which is probably the best way to understand FLoC (Federated Learning of Cohorts). And as a special bonus we almost certainly figure out why they named it something so awful.

  • Mobile Internet Business Models in China: Vertical Hierarchies, Horizontal Conglomerates, Or Business Groups?
    BERKELEY ROUNDTABLE ON THE INTERNATIONAL ECONOMY BRIE Working Paper 2016-6 MOBILE INTERNET BUSINESS MODELS IN CHINA: VERTICAL HIERARCHIES, HORIZONTAL CONGLOMERATES, OR BUSINESS GROUPS? Kai Jia and Martin Kenney Mobile Internet Platform Business Models in China: Vertical Hierarchies, Horizontal Conglomerates, or Business Groups? July 27, 2016 Kai Jia Ph.D. Student Tsinghua University Beijing, China And Martin Kenney Community and Regional Development University of California, Davis [email protected] Acknowledgments: The authors thank Roger Bohn and John Zysman for helpful comments. The authors remain responsible for all remaining errors. 2 ABSTRACT The current understanding of the dynamics of digital platforms and strategy for their concomitant ecosystems has emerged from an analysis of firms in Western market economies. Our contribution arises from a detailed study of the business strategies of the current leaders in the Chinese mobile internet industry—Tencent, Alibaba, and Baidu. We find that they have developed business models significantly different from those of US firms. We argue that these Chinese firms are developing a “platform business group” strategy predicated upon horizontal expansion through organic growth, acquisition, and the purchase of significant equity positions in vertical industries, such as ride sharing, online-to-offline commerce, and travel. As a generalization, their western counterparts were much more oriented toward vertical expansion integrating either upwards or downwards in their respective software stacks. A central component of the business group is an online payment system that operates with its other platforms to cross-feed traffic and use internal cross-platform personal data to customize its offerings to users. We show that the different environmental conditions in China versus Western market economies allow firms there to pursue different business strategies.

  • ESG CASE STUDY, Tencent
    ESG CASE STUDY FEDERATED HERMES INTERNATIONAL GROWTH EQUITY TEAM Tencent A multinational consumer technology conglomerate Founded in 1998 89,228 employees Headquarters: Shenzhen, China Martin Schulz Hanah Chang Portfolio manager EOS engager How Federated Hermes’ International Growth Equity team incorporates ESG The Federated Hermes International Growth Equity team’s investment approach integrates top-down country allocation and bottom-up stock selection. Rather than focusing purely on short-term cyclical opportunities, our top-down country analysis recognizes the importance of how markets and investment performance may be impacted over time by variables such as economic growth, liquidity, currencies, regulatory issues, fiscal and monetary policy and overall market sentiment. Likewise, we concentrate on a company’s growth rate with the goal of identifying securities capable of delivering improving and sustainable earnings growth over the mid to long term. We take that same long-range view when it comes to integrating environmental, social and governance factors into our investment process. We incorporate ESG factors holistically as part of both our top-down and bottom-up analysis. Integrating analysis of ESG factors offers a complementary stream of information to identify opportunities and potential risks at the country and security level that may not ordinarily be uncovered with traditional fundamental analysis. Investment thesis: Tencent Since 2010, Tencent has grown earnings-per-share by more than 28% (compounded annual growth rate) and is a leader in accelerating future Although not a household name to many Americans, Tencent is a social growth areas noted earlier. Continuing to demonstrate resilient funda- networking, e-commerce, cloud computing, music, fi ntech, internet mentals, Tencent’s powerful brand, low production costs and diversifi ed services, artifi cial intelligence and multiplayer online gaming jugger- revenue sources have enabled it to survive—and even thrive—during naut—as well as one of the world’s leading venture capital fi rms.

  • Free-Fall: Hacking Tesla from Wireless to Can Bus
    FREE-FALL: HACKING TESLA FROM WIRELESS TO CAN BUS Sen Nie, Ling Liu, Yuefeng Du Keen Security Lab of Tencent {snie, dlingliu, davendu}@tencent.com ABSTRACT In today's world of connected cars, security is of vital importance. The security of these cars is not only a technological issue, but also an issue of human safety. In our research, we focused on perhaps the most famous connected car model: Tesla. In September 2016, our team (Keen Security Lab of Tencent) successfully implemented a remote attack on the Tesla Model S in both Parking and Driving mode. [1-3] This remote attack utilized a complex chain of vulnerabilities. We have proved that we can gain entrance from wireless (Wi-Fi/Cellular), compromise many in-vehicle systems like IC, CID, and Gateway, and then inject malicious CAN messages into the CAN Bus. Just 10 days after we submitted our research to Tesla, Tesla responded with an update using their OTA mechanism and introduced the code signing protection into Tesla cars. Our paper will be in three parts: our research, Tesla's response, and the follow-up. We will, for the first time, share the details of the whole attack chain on the Tesla, and then reveal the implementation of Tesla's OTA and Code Signing features. Furthermore, we'll explore the new mitigation on Tesla and share our thoughts on them. TARGET VERSION We have successfully tested our vulnerabilities on Tesla Model S P85 and P75, the latest version at that time was as follows. Version Model S gw:/firmware.rc (Build Number) P85 v7.1(2.28.60) fileCrc 502224ba P75 v7.1(2.32.23) fileCrc e3deeaab Table 1 Tested version REMOTE ATTACK SURFACE The truth is that we found our browser exploit first, then we think a contactless approach should be achieved.

  • Data Privacy, Power, and Trust Emerging Risks for Internet Platforms
    Investment Research Data Privacy, Power, and Trust Emerging Risks for Internet Platforms Bret Miller, CFA, Senior Vice President, Research Analyst Jenny Hardy, Vice President, Research Analyst The extraordinary amount of data generated by individuals throughout their digital lives is today concentrated on the leading internet platforms. The market valuations and data-driven business models of these companies are highly dependent on the trust they have built with users. As more and more of people’s lives move online, this concentration of data and the implicit trust users have given these companies raise questions about privacy rights, government regulations, and the balance between corporate interests and social responsibility. The broad scope and importance of this issue has led us to characterize it as an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) consideration. Data and the companies that traffic in it are playing a larger role in society, its norms, and the direction of the digital economy. Given this complexity, we believe it is essential that ESG is fully integrated into the investment process. Data risks can be challenging to quantify and often have implications that cut across traditional approaches to equity analysis. In our view, a fully integrated ESG investment process allows investors a more nuanced view of data privacy issues and enables more sophisticated analysis of individual companies. 2 Challenges in a Data-Driven World For example, should Google use highway traffic data and your behavior history to wake your alarm 15 minutes early if it knows The rapid adoption of smartphones over the past decade has your commute to work is going to take longer today because of enabled virtually continuous connectivity to the internet for three road construction? Or should Microsoft use your calendar content billion people, with mobile devices rarely farther away than a and LinkedIn network to alert you that your husband went to pocket, purse, or bedside.

  • Top Five Facts You Didn't Know About the World Wide Web
    Structuring for Success TOP FIVE FACTS You didn’T KNOW ABOUT THE WORLD WIDE WEB. INTERNET USAGE AND ITS FUNCTION VARIES ACROSS BORDERS. HERE ARE SOME INTRIGUING INSIGHTS ABOUT HOW DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE GLOBE ARE ENGAGING IN THE DIGITAL WORLD. 1. SOUTH KOREA has the fastest and most developed broadband network in the world . It’s also the cheapest. South Korea was the first to convert dial-up to broadband in 2005 and Seoul has been called the bandwidth capital of the world. In summer 2012, they became the first country to hit 100 percent penetration for wireless broadband, according to a report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. They’re also experimenting with speeds of one gigabit per second. 2. 92.9 percent of SWEDEN has access to the Internet – the U.S. trails at 78 percent. Ninety percent of Swedish women and 91 percent of Swedish men have used the Internet is the past three months. On average, they are spending 20 hours per week online and have had a 13 percent increase in online shopping from last year. Sweden has also been named number one on Tim Berners-Lee’s Web Index, meaning they are the best in world at utilizing the web. 3. INDIA has over 121 million Internet users, yet only 10.2 percent of the population have access. The number of broadband users has increased from 0.18 million in 2005 to 13.45 million as of February 2012 – a cumulative annual growth of 117 percent. Facebook also saw an increase in Indian users with a 167 percent user increase from last year.

  • The Development of Digital Business Platforms As a Challenge For
    The Development of Digital Business Platforms as a Challenge for Regulation Paper submitted to the conference on 17 January 2019 on 'Shaping competition policy in the era of digitisation' Jürgen Bott University of Applied Sciences Kaiserslautern — Zweibrücken, Amerikastraße 1, 66482 Zweibrücken, Germany; e-mail: [email protected] Udo MIlkau DZ BANK AG, Platz der Republik, 60265 Frankfurt am Main, Germany; and Goethe University Frank- furt, 60323 Frankfurt am Main, Germany; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract The technological developments of ‘digitisation' during the recent years gave rise to new models of value creation such as digital business platforms and a new dynamics of markets, in which at least one side of the market can get services ‘free of charge’. This development challenges traditional eco- nomical approaches based on market failure and/or anti-competitive actions. This paper will start with the hypothesis that the current digitisation is a development far from equilibrium with constantly chang- ing competition of firms and competition of business models. Three developments can illustrate this ‘digital paradigm’. The so-called internet browser war is an example for a competition over time with ‘winner takes it all’ for limited periods. A browser is an example for a digital product free of charge, but with a high value for consumers: from the beginning with the first browser Mosaic via the ‘war’ be- tween Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer and an interim phase with Firefox and Safari to the current partial dominance of Chrome. The dynamics of open markets can be illustrated by the devel- opment of search engines, which started with (today nearly forgotten) AltaVista, Yahoo, Lycos & Co., matured with Google's approach of Page Rank and Sponsored Links, reorganised today with Amazon as a product search engine and is going to change with voice-based assistants like Amazon's Alexa, Google Assistant and Microsoft's Cortana.
