Social Networking
•
•
•
•
•
Increasingly “life” is taking place
online.
If it happens there, it is real.
If it doesn’t happy there, it never
happened.
400 Million Facebook members…
and counting
Numerous crime possibilities,
privacy concerns, pictures, network
connections, etc

Virtual Worlds
•
•
•
They are real for those who use them
20% of MMORPG gamers say that
the virtual world is their primary place
of residence.
The real world, a.k.a. meatspace, is
just a place to get food and sleep.

Virtual Worlds Have Virtual Economies
•
•
•
•
People trade “real currencies” for
virtual ones…some with ATM cards
Estimated to be 12-15 billion dollar
(US) economy per year (8B in China
alone).
Creates significant opportunities for
money laundering and terrorist
financing.
Virtual currencies not regulated by
international financial reporting
standards, such as FATF.

Biology Meets Information Technology
•
•
•
•
•
•
Hacking the Human Heart
Smaller technology being installed in
the body—integration of IT and biology
Cheaper monitoring from a distance,
saves money for doctors.
Pacemakers, diabetic pumps, cochlear
ear implants/hearing aids are
increasingly connected to the Internet.
Coming days of Nanomedicine.

The Human Genome
•
•
•
•
•
Recently fully decoded for the first
time in history.
Instead of 1’s and 0’s, use base-pairs
(A-T) (C-G) to encode information.
As such, the human genome is just
another operating system waiting to
be hacked.
Hackers already working on it—new
ways to create “cell death”
Exploits and university competitions in
“synthetic biology”

Mobile Computing:
•
•
•
Growing power of mobile phones.
It took approximately 35 years for to
achieve the first one billion internet
users.
The second billion users will be added
in the next three years, most of whom
will access the Internet on mobile
devices.

The Rise of Robotics:
Connecting Robots to the Grid
•
•
•
•
•
•
Robotics is in its infancy
Will grow very rapidly-the trend is
clear, lower costs speed development
Already have very basic robots
(Roomba Vacuum)
Home systems (heating, security, fire)
connected to Net…why not robot?
Robots poised to become as
commonplace as computers
They look cute…now.

Armed Robots…Is this a good idea?
Hackers obtain access to armed
police robots, can be used against
authorities.

Passing the Turing Test:
Full Automation of Crime and Cyber Attacks
•
•
•
•
•
In 1950, Alan Turing (father of modern AI)
asked how we can tell if a machine is
“intelligent”
He concluded that if a neutral observer
could not distinguish between a computer
and a human being having a conversation,
then computers would have achieved
intelligence.
When once cannot determine that he is
talking to a machine, the computer is said
to have passed the Turing Test.
Already seeing applications of AI in
organized crime botnets; humans not part
of the game.
Could be directed against state authorities.

Moore’s Law:
In 1965, Gordon E. Moore, co-founder of Intel, accurately

predicted that the capacity of computer chips would double
every
two years.

What are the security implications of
living with computers that are smarter
than human beings?
Page: 20
So what does this all mean?
•
•
•
•
When we are speaking of “Partnership
of State Authorities, Civil Society and
the Business Community in Ensuring
Information Security and Combating
Terrorism…
Technology is here to stay
More and smarter devices connected
than ever before.
Soon desktop computer will exceed
processing power of human brain—
what will be security threats then?

Therefore:
•
•
•
•
•
•
We must build our frameworks to
understand these problems now
Sense of urgency regarding the threat
Cooperative agreements must be secured
now, before it is too late, or the problem is
literally beyond our comprehension.
Care and consideration must be applied
before connecting new devices to the
network.
Security implications must be understood
and considered.
Forums such as these are an important
step forward in international cooperation
against transnational cyber threats
