\u201cPrivate sector entities should examine the blockchain data associated with these addresses and be vigilant in guarding against transactions directly with, or derived from, the addresses,\u201d <\/em>the alert warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe press release also included information about six Bitcoin wallets identified as allegedly owned by the hackers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lazarus Recent Hacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In June, Atomic Wallet fell victim to a major hack where hackers stole over $100 million in virtual currency. The blockchain analysis firm Elliptic reported that the Lazarus Group, a well-known cybercriminal organization, was responsible for this attack. Notably, the laundering process for the stolen crypto assets closely matched the techniques employed in past hacks attributed to the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lazarus Group hackers were also tied to the theft of $60 million virtual currency from AlphaPo, a centralized crypto payment provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CoinsPaid, a cryptocurrency wallet provider, experienced a significant attack resulting in a loss of $37 million. During a post-mortem analysis of the incident, CoinsPaid strongly suspected the involvement of the notorious group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Lazarus Group has an extensive record of involvement in crypto exchange hacks. This history includes the theft of $100 million from Harmony's Horizon Bridge and a massive $625 million cryptocurrency theft from the Ronin Network, an Ethereum-based sidechain designed for the popular play-to-earn game Axie Infinity.<\/p>\n","post_title":"North Korean Hackers Target Bitcoin Cash-Out, FBI Issues Warning to Crypto Firms","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"north-korean-hackers-target-bitcoin-cash-out-fbi-issues-warning-to-crypto-firms","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-27 20:24:40","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-27 10:24:40","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13095","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":13056,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2023-08-25 00:52:09","post_date_gmt":"2023-08-24 14:52:09","post_content":"\n
Google is expressing its plan to utilize web publishers' content for enhancing its AI systems. The company suggests that if businesses don't want their content scraped, they need to opt out, similar to search engine indexing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Detractors of this approach argue that this opt-out strategy contradicts copyright laws, shifting the responsibility to use copyrighted content from seekers to the copyright holders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Google presented its strategy in its submission to the Australian government's consultation on regulating high-risk AI applications. While Australia has been considering banning certain problematic uses of AI like disinformation and discrimination, Google argues that AI developers need broad access to data. This position has sparked discussions about the implications of such a move. Critics stress potential copyright issues and how this approach might affect content usage responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Google conveyed to Australian policymakers, as reported <\/a>by The Guardian, that they believe copyright law should facilitate proper and equitable utilization of copyrighted content for AI training purposes. Google highlighted their robots.txt tool, a standardized content crawler, which permits publishers to specify website sections inaccessible to web crawlers. This stance has sparked discussions about the balance between AI advancement and copyright protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHere's What The Experts Are Saying<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Experts contend that unauthorized web scraping raises concerns related to copyright and ethics. Publishers, such as News Corp., are engaging in discussions with AI companies to secure compensation for content use. The AFP recently issued an open letter<\/a> addressing this precise matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cGenerative AI and large language models are also often trained using proprietary media content, which publishers and others invest large amounts of time and resources to produce,\u201d <\/em>the letter reads. \"In addition to violating copyright law, the resulting impact is to meaningfully reduce media diversity and undermine the financial viability of companies to invest in media coverage, further reducing the public\u2019s access to high-quality and trustworthy information.\"<\/em><\/p>\n","post_title":"Google's AI Data Collection Methods Trigger Australian Inquiry","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"googles-ai-data-collection-methods-trigger-australian-inquiry","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2023-08-25 00:52:17","post_modified_gmt":"2023-08-24 14:52:17","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/www.thedistributed.co\/?p=13056","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"total_page":false},"paged":1,"class":"jblog_block_13"};
