James Lyne: Everyday cybercrime -- and what you can do about it

  • How do you pick up a malicious online virus, the kind of malware that snoops on your data and taps your bank account? Often, it's through simple things you do each day without thinking twice. James Lyne reminds us that it's not only the NSA that's watching us, but ever-more-sophisticated cybercriminals, who exploit both weak code and trusting human nature.

    Kind of awkward when he's making all of these jokes with no reaction. I found myself sharply exhaling through my nose. Great talk.

    Thank you everyone for the comments (and on the TED site). Great to see the security pros got it was a simplified demo and talk to try and capture more mainstream attention. Articles due shortly to outline the best practices for those that are interested.

      awseomeACE I personally thought this was one of the best Ted talks. he had a few funnies that no one laughed at... must of been a German audience :P

      They did laugh. But there's no microphone on the audience so you didn't hear them ;)

    • @lambertbrother1628
      @lambertbrother1628 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You could hear some of the laughter though, so unless that laughter was so loud it was picked up by his cheek mic your theory does not hold up. Besides I've seen other TED talks where the audience were definitely heard laughing. try th-cam.com/video/_QdPW8JrYzQ/w-d-xo.html or my favourite, th-cam.com/video/C4Uc-cztsJo/w-d-xo.html

    Ah, finally! I was waiting for TED to start addressing this stuff -- I almost wish there was a whole TED event just dedicated to cybercrime -- James Lyne's lecture addresses a huge problem that has far-reaching effects, and takes more than the time he is allotted to fully unpack. It points to so many other issues that could be discussed individually. Hoping to see more of this -- thanks James!

  • @JamesLyne
    @JamesLyne 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Very true. Whilst some operating systems due have architectural advantages over others the user will always be a weakness. I tried in the talk to raise awareness for people outside the security community - WE all know these things but it's important to make others thing about it too.

    Absolutely riveting presentation!. I'm just over 60, was in the R.A.A.F. - communications/security/intel. gathering.
    Only during my last couple of years did computers make their presence known, but what I saw and heard really troubled me, and still does.
    Most people have virtually 'no idea' of REAL security, they merely hover around the edges of it, thinking what they do is their best security practice, it's their laziness and nievete that is their own major security threat.

    @madstarr2 10 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Very good presentation! It was delivered with humor, but yet the seriousness of the issues facing us all in protecting our data was heard loud and clear. I am sharing the link to this with many family members who don't quite understand the seriousness behind logical protection.

  • @TheStevenWhiting
    @TheStevenWhiting 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm an IT engineer, just discovered James today on TED. Really good talk because it's nice and easy for none tech people to understand. Also liked the point about phones, ipads, Androids etc giving away previously connected WIFI APs when they are scanning. You didn't seem to take this further though? I assume time reasons. Explaining that people can then setup a fake AP with the same name, so if you're in the area, you're connect to the rough AP rather than the genuine one.

    There are some great initiatives trying to improve this such as the Rasberry PI project. We need to make sure that people not only know how to use technology but that there is a community of people who understand how it works too.

  • @delatroy

    Thanks for the talk - one of the better on TED. Subbed. Your suggestion for asking yourself "is this information something that I want to share online or not?" is something that people won't be able to answer in most cases I suspect because we can't predict in what contexts it be used in.
    Sharing your dob for example on a dating site could be very useful when used in conjunction with other data to tie you down but that wouldn't be an obvious consideration upfront - i.e. today's reality.

    Excellent point. I had an argument with a friend recently who said security is a temporal issue - the new generation won't have the same problems. Unfortunately whilst familiarity with technology has increased, the notion of privacy and security in many cases has reduced. People are prepared to give up more information and don't see it as a risk. Education and awareness are one of our biggest problems.

  • @JamesLyne
    @JamesLyne 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hello everyone, thanks for the comments. I definitely tried to balance simplicity and creating interest for those outside security more so than in. I couldn't fit top tips in to the talk time, but suggestions like Open DNS are awesome. A little bit of the basics would enhance security a great deal for all kinds of people and then we can earn the right to work on more advanced things.

  • @JamesLyne
    @JamesLyne 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey there, let me clarify. The device in question LOOKS like a USB key but is actually a small programmable keyboard. The idea is to bypass exactly the control you describe. The device plugs in and then types out the malicious payload rather than running it as a file. This means it can run on a system even where autorun is disabled. There are a few of these devices but they don't cost much to make or acquire. Hope that makes more sense now :)

    Good job on the presentation. You've probably come to realize the older generations are already lost to this cyber "war", as too few of them will ever realize the scope of their computer's capabilities. However, it's the younger generations' growing tendency to look at technology from a black box PoV that is truly scary. As computing becomes more and more console-ified and cloud-y, it'll only get worse.
    The same happened to electronics w/ VLSI, but people couldn't hack your fridge from Russia.

  • @JamesLyne
    @JamesLyne 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi there! That's an excellent question. A scan with an up to date anti-malware product is a good quick check to see if malicious code is on your system. A great deal of the mainstream malware like FakeAV, Randsomeware, Banking Trojans etc will show up if not at first shortly after. Some malicious code of a more targeted nature may not be detected. It gets pretty difficult to detect this unless you are prepared to do some fairly rigorous checks on your system.

  • @JamesLyne
    @JamesLyne 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Had an out of band question about detecting/clearing rootkits. Unfortunately detecting rootkits can be quite a challenge -even up to date AV often misses it because it's running at a higher level than the security software itself. Prevention is obviously good but not always realistic. Rootkit cleanup is best done from a separate boot disk where it is not running, or really by rebuilding/restoring from a backup.

  • @JamesLyne
    @JamesLyne 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Absolutely. Use a boot disk or another computer to mount the file system is a good call. It's getting harder to insert rootkits with trusted boot mechanisms providing hardware through to bootloader trust relationships with more modern operating sytems, but there are plenty around without that!

  • @JamesLyne
    @JamesLyne 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    As to how to remove it, a great deal of malware can be removed with clean up tools. Sometimes a particularly nasty piece of malware a cleanup from a separate book disk. In the worst instances rebuilding to a backup may be necessary. It's very prudent to have a backup on this basis.

    That is an excellent point - I entirely agree. Those that know how to USE technology are becoming far more common. The number of people who know how it actually works is far too small.
