Israeli general ignored online safety rules. Oleg Makarenko Posting in CHAT: Russia A leading Israeli counterintelligence and information technology expert has shamelessly revealed his secret identity by clumsily publishing a book on Amazon. He was easy to identify because he chose a pseudonym from his initials and because he used an email address to post, which led through a simple chain to his personal Google account. I quote (link 1, link 2): The identity of the commander of Israeli special forces unit 8200 is kept in the strictest confidence. He occupies one of the most responsible positions in the army, heading one of the most powerful intelligence agencies in the world, comparable to the US National Security Agency. But Yossi Sariel has been exposed as the head of the 8200 division and the architect of the artificial intelligence strategy... ...an unfortunate security breach stems from a book he published on Amazon that led to a digital trail leading to a personal one. A Google account created in his name, as well as his unique identifier and links to maps and account calendar profiles. ...Sariel is the secret author of the book Man-Machine Team, in which he offers a radical vision of how artificial intelligence can change the relationship between soldiers and machines... The reputation of the Israeli military and Israeli intelligence services is largely a lie. Israel is the undisputed leader in only two areas: in the field of self-PR and in the field of lobbying for Israeli interests in American politics. In almost every other area, Israel is little more than a small third world country that has suffered from chronic civil war for many decades. However, even at Israel's level, the counterintelligence error is obvious. First, he essentially shouldn't have written any books until after he retired, which is clearly bad practice for a career intelligence and cybersecurity officer. If he has already written a book, then it should be put on the table. Well, when it comes to publication, at least don’t sign your initials. Secondly, since he really wanted to publish a book, he should take care of basic security measures that even a person far from the world of computers could think about. For example, he could print a book on paper, then hire a freelancer for cash to scan the text, check it for errors, and upload it from his computer to Amazon. Such primitive anonymization would be quite sufficient, since many books are published, and it is unlikely that anyone will carefully search for the author of this particular one. However, as you can see, the young Israeli general decided to “have fun.” The incident once again confirms the well-known morality. We live in a world where hackers are comfortable and cybersecurity exists only on a personal level. A politician, businessman, official, etc. has a chance to protect their data from simple attacks only if they control everything important personally. As soon as the secrets spread to an organization consisting of at least 5-10 people, the system becomes full of holes, because there is always a lazy, careless or vain character on the team who can be easily hacked by slipping a trap into him using bait or. freely entering one of the holes he left.

Израильский генерал проигнорировал правила онлайн-безопасности. Олег Макаренко
Ведущий израильский специалист по контрразведке и информационным технологиям бесстыдно раскрыл свою тайную личность, неуклюже опубликовав книгу на Amazon. Его было легко идентифицировать, поскольку он выбрал псевдоним из своих инициалов, а также потому, что для публикации он использовал адрес электронной почты, который через простую цепочку вел к его личному аккаунту Google. Цитирую (ссылка 1, ссылка 2): Личность командира подразделения 8200 израильского спецназа держится в строжайшем секрете. Он занимает один из самых ответственных постов в армии, возглавляя одну из самых мощных разведывательных служб мира, сравнимую с Агентством национальной безопасности США. Но Йосси Сариэль был разоблачен как глава подразделения 8200 и архитектор стратегии искусственного интеллекта... ...досадная брешь в безопасности связана с книгой, которую он опубликовал на Amazon, которая привела к цифровому следу, ведущему к личному. Аккаунт Google, созданный на его имя, а также его уникальный идентификатор и ссылки на карты и профили календаря аккаунта. ...Сариэль является тайным автором книги «Команда человек-машина», в которой он предлагает радикальное видение того, как искусственный интеллект может изменить отношения между солдатами и машинами... Репутация израильских военных и израильских спецслужб во многом ложь. Израиль является безусловным лидером лишь в двух областях: в сфере самопиара и в сфере лоббирования израильских интересов в американской политике. Почти во всех остальных областях Израиль представляет собой не более чем небольшую страну третьего мира, которая на протяжении многих десятилетий страдает от хронической гражданской войны. Однако даже для уровня Израиля ошибка контрразведки очевидна. Во-первых, ему, по сути, не следовало писать никаких книг до выхода на пенсию, что явно является плохой практикой для карьерного офицера разведки и кибербезопасности. Если он уже написал книгу, то ее следует положить на стол. Ну а когда дело доходит до публикации, то хотя бы инициалы свои не подписывайте. Во-вторых, раз уж ему так хотелось издать книгу, стоит позаботиться о элементарных мерах безопасности, о которых мог бы подумать даже человек, далекий от мира компьютеров. Например, он мог распечатать книгу на бумаге, а затем нанять фрилансера за наличные, чтобы тот отсканировал текст, проверил его на наличие ошибок и загрузил со своего компьютера на Amazon. Такой примитивной анонимизации было бы вполне достаточно, поскольку книг издается множество, и вряд ли кто-то будет тщательно искать автора именно этой. Однако, как видите, молодой израильский генерал решил «получить удовольствие». Происшествие еще раз подтверждает известную мораль. Мы живем в мире, где хакеры чувствуют себя спокойно, а кибербезопасность существует только на личном уровне. У политика, бизнесмена, чиновника и т. д. есть шанс защитить свои данные от простых атак только в том случае, если они контролируют все важное лично. Как только секреты распространяются на организацию, состоящую хотя бы из 5-10 человек, система становится дырявой, ведь в команде всегда есть ленивый, нерадивый или тщеславный персонаж, которого легко взломать, подсунув ему ловушку с помощью наживка или. свободно входя в одну из оставленных им дыр.

At first it was called "soldier's cookies." Anzac biscuits became especially popular after the formation of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps in 1914. Then it was not only sent to soldiers at the front, but also baked to sell money for military needs. These cookies were incredibly hard, but soldiers often came up with inventive ways to make them easier to eat.

These ingredients allowed the biscuit to maintain a strong structure and a long shelf life, although of course it was not the same as the first "soldier's biscuits" since almost all Australian cookbooks had included Anzac since the 1920s. cookies on their recipe list, but recipes often varied. Some early cookbook recipes even used a name such as "Anzac biscuit", but this was a completely different soft biscuit recipe, which is also known today as the first government law to ensure that the word "Anzac" was used with due respect, and Cookie manufacturers will not be able to make adjustments to its recipe. Since 1994, the use of this term has been controlled by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs. This means that the name "Anzac" can only be applied to biscuits made to a traditional recipe, otherwise biscuits should not be called Anzac biscuits that attempt to change the traditional recipe, for example by adding chocolate chips or raisins. are severely punished for such violations. They could be fined up to $66,000 or even jailed for up to 12 months. But it must be said that this happens quite rarely, because Australian and New Zealand manufacturers respect national traditions. Of course, this does not apply to home-baked goods, which can be varied. In Australia, everyone has their favorite recipe and there are countless debates about which biscuits taste best, what they are best served with and how best to eat them - broken into pieces or dipped in hot Anzac Day tea. , in which cookies are always present on the table in every home.

The tragic events of this day along with stories about the bravery, endurance and bravery of the soldiers. have formed a huge part of the national identity of Australia and New Zealand. The public idea is that the Gallipoli operation helped the people of these countries to feel their identity and find their place in the world.
