Dear Mamadou

 

I know others have said this before, but let me say that this summary is
really valuable.  It is probably the only one that I get each week (and I
get dozens) that I always make sure to read.  Thanks

 

Paul

SUMMARY

 

This week, The United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research
Institute (UNICRI) planning to open the new Centre for Artificial
Intelligence and Robotics, a headquarters in The Hague to monitor
developments in artificial intelligence.

On cybersecurity, Europol has called for tough new legalisation to tackle
cyber crime at the end of a 12-month period that saw the scale, rate and
spread of hacker activity reach unprecedented levels : Ransomware has
emerged as the top cybercrime recently; WannaCry and Petya ransomware
attacks had crippled many firms lately; a "growing sophistication in the
cybercrime community". In addition, Cyber criminals are now able to access
ATMs through bank networks, according to the report
<https://documents.trendmicro.com/assets/white_papers/wp-cashing-in-on-atm-m
alware.pdf>  by Europol's European Cybercrime Centre
<https://www.europol.europa.eu/track/click/1079/1924> . Furthemore, The
United States has asked China not to implement its new cyber security law
over concerns it could damage global trade in services, a U.S. document
published by the World Trade Organization showed on Tuesday. 

On cyber geopolitics, executives from Facebook, Alphabet's Google and
Twitter have been asked to testify before the U.S. Congress in coming weeks
as lawmakers probe Russia's alleged interference in the 2016 U.S. election,
committee sources said on Wednesday. 

On hate speech online, The European Commission
<https://www.bloomberg.com/quote/0629846D:BB>  is calling upon social media
companies including Facebook and Alphabet to develop a common set of tools
to detect, block and remove terrorist propaganda and hate speech.

On Domain name, "the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
("ICANN") today announced that the plan to change the cryptographic key
<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/ksk-rollover/#overview>  that helps
protect the Domain Name System (DNS) is being postponed".

"Fake news" and journalism as a force for peace are the themes chosen by
Pope Francis for the Church-sponsored World Day of Social Communications
2018".

As event, we note WTO Public Forum, the Forum for Internet Freedom in Africa
and Interpol Cybercrime Conference.
