Cyberattacks cost the U.S. economy billions of dollars a year, and pose a threat for individuals and organizations. Small-Medium businesses are especially attractive targets because they have information that cybercriminals (bad actors, foreign governments, etc.) want, and they typically lack the security infrastructure of larger businesses to adequately protect their digital systems for storing, accessing, and disseminating data and information. Surveys have shown that a majority of small-medium business owners feel their businesses are vulnerable to a cyberattack. Yet many small-medium businesses cannot afford professional IT solutions, have limited time to devote to cybersecurity, and don’t know where to begin. Start by learning about common cybersecurity best practices, understanding common threats, and dedicating resources to address and improve your cybersecurity.

Why would anybody want to hack an observatory? That’s the question facing IT professionals at NOIRLab after somebody tried to crack the computer systems at Gemini North in Hawai’i. The cyber break-in and ongoing investigation by NOIRLab and National Science Foundation experts affected observations and operations in Hawai’i and Chile. According to several releases from the NOIRLab, the parent organization of the International Gemini Observatory, on August 1, 2023, the lab “detected a cyber incident in its computer systems.” This shut down astronomical observations as the IT teams acted to prevent damage to the observatory. This comes only a couple of months after Gemini North returned to service after a lengthy repair and refurbishment project. The observatory made the decision to isolate the Gemini computer systems, which also means that proposal access and the Gemini website remain down. Officials immediately safed the Gemini North telescope and stowed the massive instrument. Its twin in Chile was already down for maintenance. Now, teams from NOIRLab and NSF are analyzing the intrusion and working to bring full operations back. As of August 24th, several facilities, including Gemini North and South remained shut down. Continuing Shutdown of the Observatories The closure is also affecting some smaller telescopes at Cerro Tololo in Chile. These include the Mid-Scale Observatories network and the Southern Astrophysical Research Telescope. Onsite personnel immediately “safed” both facilities. In the meantime, the Gemini.edu site remains closed down although information about it remains available on the NOIRLab site. SOAR Telescope with snow on mountain. A hacking incident closed it and other observatories down. Courtesy NOIRLab. The latest update from NOIRLab states, “Like the entire astronomy community, we are disappointed that some of our telescopes are not currently observing. Fortunately, we have been able to keep some telescopes online and collect data with in-person workarounds.” Cybersecurity experts continue to work on restoring normal operations at all the facilities. Facility operations continue for many of NOIRLab’s observatories (such as those at Kitt Peak National Observatory). The teams hope to get things up and running again in Hawai’i and Chile soon. The lab is not offering any specifics on what happened or what steps they are taking to mitigate the shutdowns. The latest statement said, “However because our investigation into this incident is ongoing, we are limited in what we can share about our cybersecurity controls and investigatory findings. We plan to provide the community with more information when we are able to, in alignment with our commitment to transparency as well as our dedication to the security of our infrastructure.” CyberHackers Could Affect Observing Proposals The shutdowns could possibly impinge on observing proposals for telescope time starting in February 2024. The lab is working on getting the Call for Proposals launched. However, everything could be delayed for up to a week as the investigations into the cyber break-in continue. More information should be available after the end of August. For More Information Cyber Incident at NSF’s NOIRLab The post Hackers are Attacking Observatories appeared first on Universe Today.

“OKAY BUT DO YOU HAVE A HOT TAKE ON AI??

“I do!!!!  But I wanna start with the story of Sommy The Cyberhacker.  I wrote about this obscure bit of early internet history for BETTER THAN IRL, a collection of essays about the early days of the internet, which I also recommend and not just because I'm in it!  Here's the start of it:

In 1996, feeling they were out of options, a family in the small town of Emeryville, Ontario, Canada, went to the media. They revealed that for months they'd been terrorized by a computer hacker who called himself "Sommy". He'd turn their TV and lights on and off. He'd eavesdrop on their private conversations and interrupt their phone calls first to burp at them, then to harass and taunt them in a disguised voice. The family - Dwayne and Debbie Tamai and their teenaged son, Billy - said they couldn't figure out what they'd done to earn Sommy's ire. All they knew was that the police were powerless to stop him, because unlike all the other criminals they'd encountered before, Sommy was committing his crimes over the internet. Sommy was committing a cyber crime. It was a brief and unique era that seems impossible now: one in which more people had heard of computers and the internet than had actually used them. Adults without home or office computers - which is to say, most of them - got their impressions of what the internet was like and what it was capable of from movies and actual cartoons. They said things like "cyberspace" and "websurfing" and "information superhighway" without a trace of irony. Hackers were seen as trickster gods: wild but intelligent, capricious but untouchable – anger them at your peril. A friend's father spoke often about hackers who'd "trick you into downloading the entire Encyclopedia Britannica, and then make your computer display it all at once, causing your monitor to catch on fire". He believed this story no matter what his son told him. He'd said he'd heard it on the news. My friends and I - teenagers - knew this "Sommy" story was complete baloney. We knew that computers and the internet weren't and aren't magic, because we spent all our free time on them. We knew that you couldn't take over someone's phone line or light switches just by "hacking" them really hard, no matter how talented you were. (That little trick would have to wait a decade or two until we'd all invested in insecure internet-connected "smart devices".) A few days later the police had a break in the case when they finally discovered that "Sommy" was the family's teenage son, Billy, because of course he was. Billy hadn't hacked anything - he just flipped three-way light switches from the other room to mess with his parents, and picked up the extra handset on their landline to tell them off in a funny voice whenever he was mad at them. We knew this was obviously the case the second the story broke, because the hacker story was impossible. The only thing we didn't understand was how the media, and the police, and Bell Canada - who'd actually rewired the house several times trying to find how the hacker was getting in! - could've been so stupid. In retrospect, of course, the answer was obvious: the media and police and even the telco companies weren't stupid, they simply were just not as extremely online as we were. They didn't know what they were talking about. But they'd get there. We'd all get there eventually.

I feel like we're in a similar moment now with AI: so many people don't understand how the technology actually works, but have seen what they think are similar things in movies, and so approach it from that perspective.  After all, these companies wouldn't call what they have "AI" if it wasn't actually artificially intelligent, right??  I read a long twitter thread yesterday from someone who was shocked that when he asked ChatGPT for a research report on something, it gave him something that seemed credible, but all the references didn't exist!  And then when he asked about that, he got more references that also didn't exist!  Surely someone is looking into this??  It's not intelligent at all - it's just making shit up! Of course, this is entirely expected behaviour with large language models (LLMs), because they're not fact-telling machines, they're machines designed to give you likely words after initial words. There's randomness built into them at their core, which is why asking the same question twice gets you different results. But if you're used to AIs from fiction and not the statistical language models we've built, you don't see that.  You especially don't see it when since people trying to market these LLMs are hyping them up as much as possible. Instead you see it saying "yes" when you ask it if it's alive and feel like that has to mean something.

Anyway, I feel like we're in a similar moment here to where we were with "cyber hackers" and Sommy back in the mid 90s.  A lot of people are encountering something new that seems close to something they've seen in fiction before, so they're treating it as if they would that fictional thing instead of what it actually is.  It's frustrating to see so many articles approaching it so uncritically (I trained a language model on my dead girlfriend's words and it was like she was alive there in the machine!  Except I had to ignore all the non-sequiturs and random inscrutable things she said, of course!) - especially because how language models like GPT3 actually work is really interesting without clouding it with "hath we become gods??" discourse. But it won't last, because the general public will learn about what LLMs can actually do and what they can't, and there will come a day when we don't have to have the "ChatGPT is not alive nor is it intelligent" / "Aha, but whomst among us can say what intelligence truly is, and if YOU are really alive??" back and forth constantly.   And also people will probably learn not to use it for things like sending a condolence email after a mass shooting. Probably?  That seems like a safe prediction, right?  You'd only do that if you thought LLMs are an oracle who can provide you with the mathematically perfect words to say in a difficult situation.   You wouldn't do it if you knew it was just guessing at what words fit together with a soupçon of randomness thrown in to make it interesting. The truth is that writing is hard, writing well is even harder.  What we have now is not a tool that can't do the hard thing well, but it can do it quickly. And what happens when anyone can mass-produce credible-looking but unreliable text?  Well, you get inundated with a lot of credible-looking but unreliable text.  When I was running Project Wonderful (my ad network that didn't try to make the internet worse, rip) we insisted that every site we took on as a publisher had to be posting original things, as just a baseline level for quality.  It was easy to check: you'd just grab some text and search for it to find if it were plagiarized.  People would try to get around that by, for example, machine translating it to French and back to English, so all the words would be different.  But that had a tell too - it was clearly machine-generated and read unnaturally - so we could check for that too.  But now that it's easy to fill up a blog with posts about anything, as long as you don't look too closely, I expect fighting spam - at least in that context - is about to become much harder.  One scifi magazine just closed submission entirely after their chart of "how many people we had to ban for plagiarism or using an AI" looked like this:

I think there's definite uses for LLMs, and they're an incredible accomplishment in computational linguistics, but I just want to live in a world where we can discuss what they actually are, and not what we're imagining they might be.  Sommy wasn't real and for a while in 1996 me and my friends all felt crazy as the media and police in Ottawa were all behaving like he was.  I feel the same way now. In conclusion, the end.”
