  Hall of Records with Alien Technology Found in Romania
Posted by: Mystic Wanderer - 01-13-2017, 04:31 PM - Forum: Lost and Ancient - Replies (3)

Interesting video that is now almost a year old.  I hadn't heard of this, so I decided to share it for others who may have missed it.

The discoveries of what was found in the tunnels begins around the 28:00 mark.   There is a holographic record of history, and tunnels that lead to the Sphinx in Egypt, and many other amazing things.  Enjoy!

This sums it up very well.

  Researchers warn of fingerprint theft from ‘peace’ sign
Posted by: 1984hasarrived - 01-13-2017, 06:41 AM - Forum: Computers, Internet and the Digital World - Replies (1)

Forget facial recognition, now we have fingerprint theft.  As camera resolutions increase, this will be even easier for those who want to do it.

If they then get access to your iPhone ...

Quote:Could flashing the “peace” sign in photos lead to fingerprint data being stolen?

Research by a team at Japan’s National Institute of Informatics (NII) says so, raising alarm bells over the popular two-fingered pose.

[Image: n-fingerprint-a-20170112-870x609.jpg]

Fingerprint recognition technology is becoming widely available to verify identities, such as when logging on to smartphones, tablets and laptop computers.

But the proliferation of mobile devices with high-quality cameras and social media sites where photographs can be easily posted is raising the risk of personal information being leaked, reports said.

The NII researchers were able to copy fingerprints based on photos taken by a digital camera three meters (nine feet) away from the subject.

“Just by casually making a peace sign in front of a camera, fingerprints can become widely available,” NII researcher Isao Echizen told the Sankei Shimbun newspaper for an article published Monday.

“Fingerprint data can be recreated if fingerprints are in focus with strong lighting in a picture,” Echizen also told Yomiuri TV.

He added that advanced technology was not necessary and anyone could easily copy fingerprints.

But NII says it has developed a transparent film containing titanium oxide that can be attached to fingers to hide their prints, the reports said.

The film prevents identity theft but does not interfere with fingerprints being effective in identity verification, the Sankei Shimbun reported.

But the technology would not be ready for another two years, the paper said.

  EU Planning a Database That Will Link User IDs to Cryptocurrency Wallets
Posted by: 1984hasarrived - 01-13-2017, 05:16 AM - Forum: Computers, Internet and the Digital World - Replies (2)

Not liking the idea of this at all - the whole point of BitCoin is that it is privacy based, imho.

Quote:The European Union is planning a database that will assign every cryptocurrency wallet to its holder’s identity. After recently being hit hard by Terrorist activities, the EU believes a lot of the funding for terrorism is done anonymously through bitcoin.

[Image: 060d569738e4092050153b34cdfb0f3a.jpg]

The current anonymity means you can send payments to a wallet without your identity being known. With the planned move of the EU, this won’t be the case. EU governments will be able to attach a user ID to every transaction done within the EU zone for incoming and outgoing transactions.

Will this move help reduce terrorism in European countries?

European governments look at bitcoin as at medium risk of terrorist use to transfer funds meant for wreaking havoc in Europe. Coindol.com spoke  to Richard Kohl, Board Member at Bitcoin Wednesday,  about his thoughts on this claim, he responded by saying:
“Probably not.  It looks like the politics of fear, terrorism invoked as an excuse for regulatory capture.  By now, we should have seen thorough research that shows more extensive use of the blockchain by terrorists than traditional financial systems.  Given this lack of evidence, it seems likely that traditional financial systems are strongly favored by criminals and terrorists.  It is arguably a better use of public funds to focus efforts on guarding against misuse of the traditional financial system.”

How will the people who use Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies respond?
To assess the possible impacts this move would have on Bitcoin users, Coinidol.com spoke to the Founder of Cashaa (Auxesis Group), a peer-to-peer blockchain market,  Kumar Gaurav, who gave his views in a statement:

“Linking user ID with cryptocurrency address is a good move to monitor the movements of cryptocurrencies quickly.  This step apparently not good for people looking for privacy. But at the same time, it can help to prevent misuse of the cryptocurrencies.”

What are the disadvantages of this move?
Coinidol.com spoke to Peter Trček, CEO & co-founder at Bitnik, a Slovenian bitcoin company, about what he thinks are the most prominent disadvantages of linking users IDs to wallets. He said:

“Connecting regular user's identity to his wallets is impractical if not almost impossible. The a    verage user would own more than one cryptocurrency and would use multiple wallets.No disadvantage for businesses. It might even help. Maybe soon crypto wallet address would be listed next to bank account in business registry. Governments could force popular wallet apps/services to require KYC, sure. But they can't prevent users from creating wallets in numerous other ways.
Sooner or later, EU will have enough knowledge about cryptocurrencies to realise such requirement is unrealistic one.”

  New address system; fingerprint theft fears; facial recognition and chips, please
Posted by: 1984hasarrived - 01-13-2017, 04:44 AM - Forum: Computers, Internet and the Digital World - Replies (1)

I like the sound of the new address system, I can actually see that being useful, a sort of modern day GPS coordinates. At three by three metres that is pretty accurate.

The Japanese one is most scary.

And the third one I just think is something that is going to become much more prevalent.

Quote:Mapping start-up changes Ivory Coast addresses

Ivory Coast has taken steps to make delivering old-fashioned snail mail easier as many of its roads don’t have names: it’s adopting the technology developed by What3Words, a UK mapping start-up to assign unique three-word phrases to locations that can then be found using the app or the website.

[Image: ivory.jpg?w=780&h=408&crop=1] 

Ivory Coast isn’t the first country to have done this: Mongolia took up the system last year. It’s a very neat idea: it assigns the three-word phrase to three-metre-by-three-metre squares on the map, which means that any place can be pinpointed. So for example, New York’s Grand Central Station becomes rubble.occurs.holds.

That means that people without traditional addresses – such as in big urban slum settlements, which aren’t officially part of city infrastructure – can be pinpointed and then can have post delivered to them. The “unaddressed”, particularly in the developing world, have been disadvantaged by, for example, not being able to have a bank account.

In Ivory Coast, people sending snail mail will be able to simply write the appropriate three words on an envelope rather than a traditional address. Critics say it’s not great to be relying on a proprietary system, but it is a universal system that’s simple to understand and works well.

Fingerprints ‘can be stolen from photos’

Your fingerprint-unlocked mobile phone might not be as secure as you like to think: researchers in Japan have said they have been able to lift fingerprints shown in photographs, which could in turn lead to those “stolen” fingerprints being used to unlock cellphones and anything else secured by fingerprint.

Researchers at Japan’s National Institute of Informatics said they had been able to copy fingerprints from photos taken from up to three metres away.

However, help is at hand: NII also claims to have developed a solution, which is a transparent film that can be attached to fingers to obscure the fingerprints. Which is reassuring.

You look like someone who wants a chicken burger

Regular visitors to restaurants are used to staff there getting to know them and their preferences, but a KFC outlet in Beijing has gone one step further and introduced facial recognition technology to identify its regular customers.

The system goes one step further, though: based its assessment of the customer’s age, mood and and sex, it can also recommend menu options, which, according to the Guardian, seem to be somewhat stereotyped: “a female customer in her 50s” would get a recommendation of “porridge and soybean milk for breakfast”.

KFC is working with Baidu, the Chinese internet giant, to develop the service, but whether it actually catches on remains to be seen.
