SUMMARY:CYBER 2.0 4th Hacking Challenge
DESCRIPTION:The big hacker challenge promises a $ 100\,000 prize for anyone who manages to hack its system. \nEvery cyber company in the world claims that its system is the best. How many are willing to put their claim to the test of all the hackers in the world? \nCyber 2.0 has been doing this for four years in a row. \nThe tested scenario is defined as any information security manager’s nightmare in an organization: a hacker breaches the security of the organization\, disables all existing protection systems\, has a User\, Admin\, Password\, and can now do whatever he pleases in the organization. \nDuring the challenge\, Cyber 2.0 deploys a network of a few computers\, simulating a company’s network. Every hacker gets access to this network\, just as if he were part of the organization. He does not need to hack the firewall or disable antiviruses. As for the hacker\, he is already within the organization. The only difference between him and the network computers is that the company’s software is not installed on his computer. According to the company\, no such hacker will be able to communicate with the other computers on the network. \nIn the company’s previous challenges\, all hackers failed in their attempt to hack the system.\nIn 2018\, the challenge took place in Israel. It was attended by 350 hackers\, including soldiers from elite units\, who tried for 6 hours\, and there were over a million attacks simultaneously to breach the system.\nIn 2019\, the challenge took place in the US. All the American hackers failed in their attempts.\nSince 2020\, the challenge has been open to hackers from all over the world. Over 3\,500 hackers\, from 16 different countries have tried to attack this system simultaneously. As mentioned\, they all failed. \nAccording to Cyber 2.0\, no penetration test performed by any company will come close to such a scope of simultaneous attacks. \nThe fourth challenge\, which will take place on April 21\, is aimed at the European market\, along with our partners Syntyche and Integrity consulting the challenge will be open to all hackers in the world. \nIt was reported that in the US hacker challenge\, a team of expert hackers arrived\, and demonstrated to all those who were present how to break into a Tesla car. At the end of their successful hack\, they stated that nothing would stop them from hacking the Cyber 2.0 system. However\, they failed and said: “We felt like people shooting Nerf darts at a castle wall.”

SUMMARY:TAG Blockchain Presents Non Fungible Tokens - NFT and the Internet of Value
DESCRIPTION:What does Dorsey’s first-ever tweet\, Nayans Cat\, a burned Banksy painting\, Grime’s music videos have in common? [They all have been minted into NFTs using blockchain technology] \nWhat do Mark Cuban\, Snoop Dog and Chamath Palihapitiya have in common? [They all are famous billionaires investing in an extensive NFT portfolio] \nWhat does Dorsey’s first-ever tweet\, a burned Banksy painting\, and Bitcoin have in common? [They all are now digital assets enabling ‘value’ transfer from peer-to-peer using blockchain technology] \nAs the world of Non-fungible Tokens exploded in the last few months\, it has left people amazed\, excited and confused. NFTs provide creators and investors the ability to sell and buy exclusively digital objects that range from weird 3D videos to songs and everything in between. And the buying and selling is happening on peer-to-peer NFT marketplaces. A new alignment is forming – creators\, sellers\, buyers\, facilitators\, market venues – all aspects of historic roles are subject to reconsideration. \nIt opens up questions: \n\nIs this another tulip mania?\nWhat is the technology underlying creating these NFTs?\nWhat is considered “value”?\nWhat is “art”?\nIntellectual property rights and copyright – Who owns what?\nHow are rights asserted? Preserved?\nBusiness models – How are creators and artists becoming part of the revenue model of their art?\nIs this a social and cultural phenomenon fueled by the technologies of the day? Have you attended an “NFT drop party” or a Clubhouse session on NFT wealth management??\nIs this sustainable use of technology? What about energy use and climate change?\nHow can you transact in NFT’s?
