Technological time bombs can danger entire civilization.

We might already have technical time bombs on our planets. Things like nuclear weapons which operators must turn key after a certain time can cause a dangerous situation. The idea of this kind of nuclear weapon is that turning the key tells the system that the operator is alive. And if that key will not turn the system might think that the operators are dead. And then it will start an attack against suspected enemies.

Another problem is the robot submarines that mission is to hide under the sea. Those systems might program that if the communication signal between that robot submarine and its base cuts the submarine will start to attack the "enemies". 

The technical time bomb can be made on purpose or accidentally. In some visions, there is some kind of leak in the nuclear waste storage. And then suddenly that leak can cause a nuclear reaction. Technical time bombs are the things that can cause local or global damage. 

When AI is turned on more common in military systems there developed computer viruses called "logic bombs". When certain parameters are filled the logic bomb will destroy things like databases of the target computers.  That kind of situation can cause danger if it happens in vital and mission-critical systems. 

Counter-terror and politics.

Counter-terror and politics.

The counter-terror operations and revenge campaigns are a problematic way to act, in international politics. We know that terrorists would not surrender, and if those people are staying free, they will go make more terrorist actions against civilians. And attacks against civilians is the essence of terrorism. In this kind of war attacks, acts of revenge and counter revenge are the things, what is one of the most notable and difficult things in the world.

One of the questions is how to recognize terrorists, and how to make sure, that the right person would be set in the killing list? Sometimes specialists have said that the statement, where the targeted person would confess to being a member of the organization, what has made terror actions could be targeted to hit list, and that thing would cause problems in the public eye.

What if somebody uses disinformation for targeting wrong people like personal enemies to the hit list of the counter-terror force?

The most feared thing is that if those films are dubbed, or somehow else faked? Could the person, who has been photographed on the street go to the film, what is created by a terrorist organization, and say in that material things, what they even remember to say?

This kind of thing is one thing, that we must afraid of. The faked information like increasing the wrong backgrounds to that kind of film material is causing the possibility, that even Finland and Sweden can claim to be supporters of the terrorists. And this kind of thing is causing a threat to national security.

We must realize that terrorists are criminals. They are making sometimes very good propaganda for turning sympathy to their side, and those people are really good to tie everybody around them in their agenda. And this is the major problem of those organizations. Thigs how they argue their actions seem fantastic and justified. But the fact is that when those radical organizations are taking power, they would turn to dictators themselves.

One of the most well known and the best examples is the case of Egypt, where dictator Hosni Mubarak kicked off from power because of massive demonstrations. The thing is that the government replaced by the military dictatorship, which is one of the toughest in the world. And that kind of case is bringing one question in the mind, "who is the real benefiter of terrorism?".

So long as there is Isis in that area, western leaders are willing to give support for those hardcore military persons, who are ruling their countries. Western intelligence and military forces are needing the translation services, support bases and relationships to local actors, that they could get information about the terrorists. In this kind of war, the role of agents is highlighted, because the enemy is moving very fast, and the weapons can be hidden everywhere.

The person, who claims to be the leader of an organization, might be only the frontman for those cells. And the real leader might say in shadows out from publicity.

Those agents must slip in the discussions, what those terrorists are doing, and then they must call attackers because there would be only a couple of minutes to react, and the weapons can be destroyed quite easily if they are located. But if the counter-terror force wants to get the vital information they should take prisoners.

Even if the leader of the group, or the person, who is claimed a leader is dead, there could be a vice man for replacing that person. And when we are thinking more carefully, the person, who claims to be a leader might be only the spokesman. And the real leader might be somewhere else. And if we would kill the frontman, we cannot ever interrogate that person by using sodium Amytal and get any information.

Here I must say, that the intelligence agencies and special forces all around the world have skills and maybe also relationships to create their terrorist organization, which would serve those leaders, as the eliminator of the political resistance and make provocations, what are justifying the actions against the opposition.

In history, we must remember one case about terrorism. The case is the rise of Bolsheviks in Russia. That organization was created "Okhrana" the emperor's political police, and the role of it was that tsar, the Emperor of Russia used that faked organization for eliminating his political resistants, and the thing was that this organization just slipped from the hand of the tsar, and then it replaced him by the communist organization in 1917.

Threats and opportunities of lasers

Threats and opportunities of lasers

Red granite is red because there is so much iron oxide. Iron oxide is one of the most important red pigment sources in the world, and that composite is used in solid rocket fuel as the oxygenizing, the very high temperature burning composition called thermite, what burns in temperature about 3200 degrees Celsius. But also the red mineral can be used for making things like colored glass. That glass is used in the most powerful solid lasers in the world.

One of the biggest problems with high power lasers is that if there are gas bubbles in the element, that will crash the glass. So the gas must be removed from those glass sticks by using the vacuum, which makes the glass homogeneous. The thing, why those systems are so effective is that they can remove things from layers by using the accuracy of one atom. That means that those systems can remove also bacteria from the layers very sharply, and they can be used to cleaning the wounds by sharper than any chemical can do. So in the world of tomorrow, the drones or quadcopters can make surgical operations in the forests and the hospitals by using lasers.

Those drones can hover above patients, and the lasers can be used as the knife or scalpel, but the laser can also remove the hostile particles from the body. The laser is so sharp, that it can steam the particle in the body, without the heat effect to the tissue. And that thing makes it an interesting and dangerous actor. But there is one sad thing, and that is this accuracy can benefit in military purposes. The thing is that the same laser systems can be used in both purposes the giving help to wounded, but those systems can also be used as weapons.

If we use the laser as a weapon the laser ray would cause extreme damages in the body because the heat of the ray is vaporizing the water in the cells, and that thing causes the deep burn, but the more powerful lasers can cause the hydrostatic shock when those cells would explode in the body. But lasers can be used in more horrifying actions. The high accuracy makes them act almost every way, what the operators would want. The lasers can remove bacteria or skin of the opposite actors, and that thing can be the new type of replacer of the chemical weapons.

The thing is that if the protective bacteria layer of the skin is removed, a person would die. Those systems would cause no pain when they attack, and they can terminate the enemy operators before the military actions begin. This is what makes the laser one most horrifying weapons, what people can ever create, but that system has also many opportunities, and how we use that ultimate tool depends on the user.

The data security and digital environment

The data security and digital environment

Who would we trust?  Trust is the thing, what we must earn. And thing is that if we want to secure data, we must follow the use of our data all the time.  The best defense against cyber attacks is the knowledge of how the enemy is working. We might benefit things like social media also in the area of data security. And one thing, what we can do on Facebook, is keeping the account, and also we can share fake data in that media, and observe, how our children would use that thing.

So the offensive cybersecurity is the use of faked Facebook accounts to find out people, who are a risk for security. Some of these methods are illegal, but also the foreign operators like security companies and intelligence services use those methods. The normal procedure is that the operator uses the image of a suspicious person, and asks things, what they should not ask. And also they can offer drugs and money on social media.

Why we must protect our children? Or why everybody must take part in data security? Even the person self doesn't handle classified information, that doesn't mean that this person cannot use as the "gate" to that information. One version is the cleaner, who would allow wrong persons to enter the restricted area, and they can put the surveillance cameras to the rooms, and follow things, what is happening on the screens.

And if people are cheating some worker, that would allow that some sex-agent would come to take the part of the bad feeling of that person. That's why social life is a very important thing to keep in control. A person who has alcohol or drug problems is a good target for criminals when they want to get access to information. That person, who is chosen as the "gate" can also introduce other people to those criminals, who might want to steal the data. There might be no marks when the data is stolen, and that thing should handle by keeping records, when the files are opened and who has opened those files.

Data- or security is the key element of the success of data-oriented business architecture. And digital trust is the thing, what we need when we want to protect our data. Digital trust means the way, how we can protect and secure the databases and digital environment, where we are working. That means something, what we cannot change and what is not something, what other people notice or wants to steal. Digital trust is the thing, what keeps our digital business rolling, and then we must realize that the things with digital trust are the same as physical trust.

First signs what tells that something is going wrong are the wrong questions. Questions like what is your salary are not things, what some ICT-professional should ask in the working place. And also things like attempt to filming screens or taking registration numbers of the cars are not things, what trusted person should do. But if we cannot trust our business partners, we cannot handle our job. Digital trust is something, what we must earn. Bad signs are things that somebody wants the information, what doesn't belong to them.

But how to earn this trust. The thing is that the person, who would do that kind of things like data security should introduce the work, what would want and need to do. That means those persons are keeping their work open, that other people can see their professionalism. And the thing in is that data security should base the open technology. In those cases, the vital components of the system like passwords and other keys should keep secret.

The idea in open architecture solutions is that only the vital parts like keys are secret. We should think the data security as the digital lock. Every person in the world knows, how locks are working. And the only thing, what is kept secret are the depths of the levels of the key. If we would keep only the things classified, what allows to enter the system that would make the things easier. And if we would buy some data security service, that means that everybody sees telephone numbers, where the support can ask.

That kind of systems uses only strong identifiers. The mobile telephones, which are used to enter the system and classified data can be secured with biometric recognitors. When the person who has access to the classified information would want to see that data, there might be QR code on the screen, and the person scans the code with the cellphone.

There is a possibility that everybody can open the files, but the use of the wrong telephone or by unauthorized users would bring in the front of eyes nice-looking documents, what is full of useless or faked data, what would make the merchandise a piece of garbage. The problem in this kind of things like biometric detectors is if somebody can out own fingerprint in the database, that allows the access data.

Many of this kind of problems are easy to solve. The company must know the number of workers, and there must be two registers, where those names are. If there is an extra worker or too many names in the database, that information must come to screen right away. This system might compile the access list and list of persons, who get a salary, and if the unauthorized name has been put in the database, that would be told immediately. And the persons, who have access to classified data might have a certain salary, which helps the directors control the lists of authorized persons.

And, of course, the fingerprints must be stored to another database, and if there is no match in the list of authorized persons or their salaries don't match with salaries of the secured persons, that would cause an alert. So the risk that somebody will put extra names to the list can be solved by keeping records of the fingerprint, and if the number of them is changed, the information of that would come to the screens of the responsible officers.

The most important thing in cybersecurity is to understand, what is the value of the data, what is secured. What kind of treats that data can face. And the biggest threat of the modern world is that the stored data would manipulate. If somebody will manipulate the images, what the recon satellites are taken, that would cause the war. And the thing is that this kind of cyber attack can be done by the small state or even the guerilla movement. The idea is that the other nations would come to fight for that small operator. This makes modern cyber warfare dangerous.

Cybersecurity is the thing, what is in a key role in the business. If some company databases would be filled with band images, what hackers are put in those places, that would remove the trust of that company right away. Cyberattacks can be done just because somebody wants to destroy the reputation of the company, and the best way to do that is the hacker just fills the database with the material, what doesn't belong to the business.

The thing in modern society is that we must just need to work in the environment, where the social media exist. We cannot deny people use that media in free time. So in the time of social media only one thing, how we can handle the problems of cybersecurity is the enlightenment, and educating people to follow media by using criticism. That kind of things must be involved with every citizen's base skills like the swimming and locking the door.

Writing about climate changing again

Writing about climate changing again


Why somebody makes contracts, but not follow them?

In the research station on the Sammaltunturi, Finland is seen that everybody would not follow the contracts what are meant for stopping the increasing the level of the carbon dioxide. That means that the rising of the global temperature is rising with the higher speed and the result would be problematic.

One of the problems that are causing by the warming climate is very bad, and the thing is, that the rising temperature would cause wars and epidemics as well many other things would change. And the question is, why those people will do that thing to themselves and other people? We are all living on the same planet, and we must realize that the contracts are effective, only if people would follow the orders of those contracts.

If the polder dam would collapse the Netherlands will sink under the sea level

The rising sea level would cause the situation, where the lowlands of the most populated areas in the world would leave below the sea level, and there are two solutions, one is to resettle those people, and the second one is to build the dam, what denies the entry of water in that area. Those kinds of dams are used in the Netherlands, and the problem is that if the storm would rise too high, the fear is that those polder dams will collapse.

And those dams are very attractive targets for terrorists. But if the dams in the Netherlands will collapse, the situation will be more difficult than in the case of New Orleans.  In the case of New Orleans, the water filled only the little part of the country, and the area of New Orleans is only the one city, and the people would have places where to go.

But if the dam of IJsselmeer or some other dams in the line, what is against the North Sea would collapse the very big part of Netherlands will leave under the water, because of big areas of that country are dried by using the massive dam system, what is called "Polder". If that system would collapse the result will be catastrophic.

The epidemics would be caused because cemeteries and the sewer system would leave underwater, and also the water would entry to dumps, what will release the garbage to the sea. That will cause that also the bacteria and viruses would enter the sea, and that can cause very big problems.

Rising temperature is a threat for insects

The problem is that those people must be resettled to some other place, and when the land area of the most populated nations on the Earth is decreasing, the result would be, that some of those nations would start a war against their neighbors. Also, the growing deserts would cause the reason, that people are leaving their home areas, and then the conflicts can be caused, that those refugees would exile by using violence. But the main problem is the climate environment would cause that the sea level will rise.

 And warm weather would make possible that many bugs will survive from those winters. That can cause the situation, where the plant diseases would become more usual than they were in twenty years ago. The thing is that this situation would cause danger for many bugs, which are pollinating the vegetables.

The mission of winter in those bugs life cycle is to deny the viruses to transfer from the second generation of those insects, and that means the adults would die in the autumn. If the temperature will be too high, the insects would not die in the cold weather, and that means the next generation of insects would be contacted to the last summer adults, and that would cause the decreasing the population.

Fake profiles and other dangers are stalking people on the Internet.

Fake profiles and other dangers are stalking people on the Internet. 

The thing about network surfing is that there is a possibility to make a click to the forbidden pages, even the surfer doesn't know that thing self. The thing is that the innocent web page can use the automatized re-sending protocol, which means that the surfer just clicks the normal homepage and the JavaScript or some other code would automatically send the person to the pages, where is forbidden material.

And then that homepage re-sends the surfer back to the normal homepage. If that process is made very good, that thing would be kept a secret from the user of the Internet. That thing means that the information, what is collected from the Internet would not be true. Those homepages, what are virtually clicked can cause problems for the users of the Internet.

Fake profiles can be a very big danger, and they can cause more trouble than people even know

There are many dangers on the Internet, and some of those dangers are real dangers for life and health. The serial killers and another kind of persons are hunting victims in the net, and that means that every time we share some information about our location or our family would that mean, that we would put them in danger.

But in fact, the thing, what is the greatest threat in the net is the net user self.  If we will close the social media and another kind of things we might face the threat, what is more, dangerous than misusing the Internet. The thing is that even if the fake identities would not cause the payments or bills to some person, that can cause the loss of the reputation. Or the victim would get arrested and in the worst case convicted because some serial killer has used that victims identity.

What if my name is used in the faked profiles? 

That thing is that if we are not using social media we cannot follow the things, what is going on in social media. The dangerous people can use fake profiles and if the name of that account is the same with the same user, would that cause the situation, that the SWAT-team would attack in the apartment of that person.

And especially one thing can miss in that case. That is that every person can open the social media account in the name of that inmate, and that would be a very bad thing. If the person has the extraordinary name, the use of the finding tool in the social media application would tell if there is the account, what uses the same name with this inmate. But this is only my opinion about this case.
