YouTubeDrive

YouTubeDrive is a Wolfram Language (aka Mathematica) package that encodes/decodes arbitrary data to/from simple RGB videos which are automatically uploaded to/downloaded from YouTube. Since YouTube imposes no limits on the total number or length of videos users can upload, this provides an effectively infinite but extremely slow form of file storage.

YouTubeDrive depends externally on FFmpeg, youtube-upload, and youtube-dl. These programs must be downloaded and installed separately, and prior to first use, YouTubeDrive must be configured with their install locations.

Fundamental flaws uncovered in Mega's encryption scheme — show the service can read your data

MEGA's system does not protect its users against a malicious server and present five distinct attacks, which together allow for a full compromise of the confidentiality of user files — the researchers wrote on a website. Additionally, the integrity of user data is damaged to the extent that an attacker can insert malicious files of their choice, which pass all authenticity checks of the client. We built proof-of-concept versions of all the attacks — showcasing their practicality and exploitability.

MEGA Security Update

https://blog.mega.io/mega-security-update

Today, MEGA has released software updates that fix a critical vulnerability reported by researchers at one of Europe’s leading universities, ETH Zurich, Switzerland. Further updates addressing less severe identified issues will follow in the near future. MEGA is not aware of any user accounts being compromised by these vulnerabilities.

Who is potentially affected?

Customers who have logged into their MEGA account at least 512 times (the more, the higher the exposure). Note that resuming an existing session does not count as a login. While all MEGA client products use permanent sessions by default, some third-party clients such as Rclone do not, so their users may be exposed.

Who could have exploited the vulnerability?

Very few: An attacker would have had to first gain control over the heart of MEGA’s server infrastructure or achieve a successful man-in-the-middle attack on the user’s TLS connection to MEGA.

What could have been the outcome?

Once a targeted account had made enough successful logins, incoming shared folders, MEGAdrop files and chats could have been decryptable. Files in the cloud drive could have been successively decrypted during subsequent logins. Furthermore, files could have been placed in the account that appear to have been uploaded by the account holder (a “framing” attack).

UAE to boost rainfall using AI in cloud seeding operations

Deep learning algorithm to learn from thousands of examples drawn from historical data

The National Centre of Meteorology (NCM) has announced the start of its latest project to boost rainfall. The project will use artificial intelligence (AI) to achieve enhanced rainfall prediction.

The project's focal point will be the creation of an AI research and operations testbed in the UAE. An AI framework will be built to combine satellite observations, ground-based weather radar data, rain gauges, and numerical weather prediction estimates to determine optimal cloud seeding timings and locations.

🇨🇳 China plans #cloud #seeding to protect grain crop from drought

China says it will try to protect its grain harvest from record-setting drought by using chemicals to generate rain, while factories in the southwest waited Sunday to see whether they would be shut down for another week due to shortages of water to generate hydropower.

Authorities will "try to increase rain" by seeding clouds with chemicals and spraying crops with a "water retaining agent" to limit evaporation, Tang's ministry said on its website. It gave no details of where that would be done.

Google whistleblower Ariel Koren rejects project Nimbus by google, amazon and israel government

https://www.mintpressnews.com/google-whistleblower-ariel-koren-rejects-israel-project-nimbus/281940/

In this episode of The Watchdog, former Google employee Ariel Koren joins Lowkey and articulates her experience at the big tech giant, claiming it has gradually developed an institutionalised pro-Israeli bias. She also reveals ways in which employees attempting to hold the company accountable for unethical contracts, such as that of Project Nimbus, are being targeted and intentionally silenced.

#Google, alongside #Amazon, has signed a contract worth $1.2 billion, titled “Project #Nimbus”, which will provide a #cloud system service for both the Israeli military and the israeli government.
