In a shocking turn of events, the cybersecurity community has been rocked by what is now being dubbed the "Mother of all Breaches" (MOAB) – the largest data breach in history. With a staggering , amounting to an astonishing , exposed to the public, the breach has raised significant concerns about the security of online platforms and the potential risks users now face. 26 billion records 12 terabytes of data In this article, we delve into the details of the breach, the platforms affected, and the potential dangers, and provide recommendations for users to protect themselves. The Scale of the Breach Discovered by cybersecurity researcher Bob Dyachenko and the team at , the massive database was found on an unsecured server, highlighting the sheer scale of the breach. Estimated at 12 terabytes, the exposed data includes sensitive information from a myriad of online platforms, with Chinese giants Tencent and Weibo being the hardest hit. Cybernews Platforms and Data Compromised The impacts a wide range of platforms, with Tencent's QQ and Weibo leading the pack with 1.5 billion and 504 million compromised records, respectively. breach The exposed database includes data encompassing email addresses, phone numbers, images, and user accounts extracted from prominent social platforms like MySpace (360 million files), Twitter (281 million records), Deezer (258 million), LinkedIn (251 million), Adobe (153 million), Canva (143 million), VK (101 million), Telegram (40 million), as well as LinkedIn, Adobe services, Gmail, and Canva. Furthermore, government entities in the United States, Brazil, Turkey, Germany, and the Philippines have also fallen victim to data compromise. Potential Dangers and Repercussions The exposed data poses serious threats to users, including the risk of identity theft, targeted cyberattacks, and credential stuffing. With personal details such as names, email addresses, and phone numbers now in the hands of malicious actors, users are urged to remain vigilant against potential fraudulent activities. In 2019, an unsecured database created by Verifications.io led to the leakage of nearly a billion records, marking one of the largest and most detrimental breaches at that time. However, the scale of data exposed in that incident falls short compared to the massive amount leaked by QQ alone in the current scenario. Recommendations for Users In response to this unprecedented breach, users are advised to take immediate action to protect themselves: Change passwords: Update passwords for all affected platforms and refrain from using the same password across multiple accounts. Enable two-factor authentication: Add an extra layer of security to your accounts wherever possible. Be cautious of phishing attempts: Stay vigilant against phishing emails and avoid clicking on suspicious links or downloading attachments from unknown senders. Monitor accounts: Regularly check accounts for unusual activity and report any suspicious occurrences immediately. The Road Ahead As investigations into the breach continue, this incident serves as a stark reminder of the vulnerabilities in our digital world. Individuals and organizations alike must prioritize cybersecurity measures to mitigate risks associated with large-scale data breaches. Conclusion The "Mother of all Breaches" underscores the evolving nature of the cybersecurity landscape. By adopting proactive security measures and remaining vigilant, users can contribute to minimizing the risks associated with large-scale data breaches. However, it's crucial to stay informed and verify the authenticity of information to prevent the spread of misinformation in an era where fake news can abound. Dedicated individuals have developed a tool to ascertain whether your data has been compromised. Users can utilize this service to search for email addresses and phone numbers, accessing Cybernews' personal data leak checker for added security. Food for Thought This news has been covered by The New York Post, Forbes, Daily Mail, and other top media outlets. However, imagine that it's fake and misinformation. How can you verify that it's all genuine and a fact? Do you think this vast volume of leaked data can become cyber weaponry in the hands of criminals? I'm just giving you food for thought. Additionally, it prompts us to consider the potential weaponization of leaked data by cybercriminals, sparking reflection on the broader implications of such breaches in the digital age. Do you think this vast volume of leaked data can become cyber weaponry in the hands of criminals? I'm just giving you food for thought.

Mark Twain's Speeches by Mark Twain, is part of the HackerNoon Books Series. You can jump to any chapter in this book . DR. MARK TWAIN, FARMEOPATH here DR. MARK TWAIN, FARMEOPATH ADDRESS AT THE ANNUAL DINNER OF THE NEW YORK POST-GRADUATE
          MEDICAL SCHOOL AND HOSPITAL, JANUARY 21, 1909

          The president, Dr.  George N.  Miller, in introducing Mr.
          Clemens, referred to his late experience with burglars. GENTLEMEN AND DOCTORS,—I am glad to be among my own kind to-night. I was once a sharpshooter, but now I practise a much higher and equally as deadly a profession. It wasn’t so very long ago that I became a member of your cult, and for the time I’ve been in the business my record is one that can’t be scoffed at. As to the burglars, I am perfectly familiar with these people. I have always had a good deal to do with burglars—not officially, but through their attentions to me. I never suffered anything at the hands of a burglar. They have invaded my house time and time again. They never got anything. Then those people who burglarized our house in September—we got back the plated ware they took off, we jailed them, and I have been sorry ever since. They did us a great service they scared off all the servants in the place. I consider the Children’s Theatre, of which I am president, and the Post-Graduate Medical School as the two greatest institutions in the country. This school, in bringing its twenty thousand physicians from all parts of the country, bringing them up to date, and sending them back with renewed confidence, has surely saved hundreds of thousands of lives which otherwise would have been lost. I have been practising now for seven months. When I settled on my farm in Connecticut in June I found the Community very thinly settled—and since I have been engaged in practice it has become more thinly settled still. This gratifies me, as indicating that I am making an impression on my community. I suppose it is the same with all of you. I have always felt that I ought to do something for you, and so I organized a Redding (Connecticut) branch of the Post-Graduate School. I am only a country farmer up there, but I am doing the best I can. Of course, the practice of medicine and surgery in a remote country district has its disadvantages, but in my case I am happy in a division of responsibility. I practise in conjunction with a horse-doctor, a sexton, and an undertaker. The combination is air-tight, and once a man is stricken in our district escape is impossible for him. These four of us—three in the regular profession and the fourth an undertaker—are all good men. There is Bill Ferguson, the Redding undertaker. Bill is there in every respect. He is a little lukewarm on general practice, and writes his name with a rubber stamp. Like my old Southern, friend, he is one of the finest planters anywhere. Then there is Jim Ruggles, the horse-doctor. Ruggles is one of the best men I have got. He also is not much on general medicine, but he is a fine horse-doctor. Ferguson doesn’t make any money off him. You see, the combination started this way. When I got up to Redding and had become a doctor, I looked around to see what my chances were for aiding in the great work. The first thing I did was to determine what manner of doctor I was to be. Being a Connecticut farmer, I naturally consulted my farmacopia, and at once decided to become a farmeopath. Then I got circulating about, and got in touch with Ferguson and Ruggles. Ferguson joined readily in my ideas, but Ruggles kept saying that, while it was all right for an undertaker to get aboard, he couldn’t see where it helped horses. Well, we started to find out what was the trouble with the community, and it didn’t take long to find out that there was just one disease, and that was race-suicide. And driving about the country-side I was told by my fellow-farmers that it was the only rational human and valuable disease. But it is cutting into our profits so that we’ll either have to stop it or we’ll have to move. We’ve had some funny experiences up there in Redding. Not long ago a fellow came along with a rolling gait and a distressed face. We asked him what was the matter. We always hold consultations on every case, as there isn’t business enough for four. He said he didn’t know, but that he was a sailor, and perhaps that might help us to give a diagnosis. We treated him for that, and I never saw a man die more peacefully. That same afternoon my dog Tige treed an African gentleman. We chained up the dog, and then the gentleman came down and said he had appendicitis. We asked him if he wanted to be cut open, and he said yes, that he’d like to know if there was anything in it. So we cut him open and found nothing in him but darkness. So we diagnosed his case as infidelity, because he was dark inside. Tige is a very clever dog, and aids us greatly. The other day a patient came to me and inquired if I was old Doctor Clemens— As a practitioner I have given a great deal of my attention to Bright’s disease. I have made some rules for treating it that may be valuable. Listen: Rule 1. When approaching the bedside of one whom an all-wise President—I mean an all-wise Providence—well, anyway, it’s the same thing—has seen fit to afflict with disease—well, the rule is simple, even if it is old-fashioned. Rule 2. I’ve forgotten just what it is, but— Rule 3. This is always indispensable: Bleed your patient.

Over a century ago, a historic maritime disaster unfolded, leaving an indelible mark in history. The ill-fated vessel, widely renowned as the Titanic or the Royal Mail Ship (RMS) Titanic, met its tragic fate on the night of April 14–15, 1912. This opulent British passenger liner embarked on its inaugural journey from Southampton, England, bound for New York City. However, its voyage was abruptly interrupted when it collided with an iceberg, causing catastrophic damage. The calamity claimed the lives of around 1,500 passengers and crew, etching a sorrowful chapter in the annals of maritime history. In 1985, researchers successfully identified the precise position of the Titanic wreckage on the ocean floor. As a result, the sinking of the Titanic has acquired significant historical significance, serving as inspiration for numerous stories, movies, musicals, and extensive academic investigations and conjectures by experts. Individuals have since been conducting deep-sea expeditions to the Titanic's sunken ruins, with the goal of investigating, analyzing, and even offering guided tours of the site. On June 19, 2023, a submersible named the Titan went missing while on a dive into the wreck of the Titanic. The submersible was carrying five people, including a pilot, a retired French naval officer, and three paying passengers. The Titan was operated by the underwater tourism company OceanGate Expeditions. The Titan submersible offered a unique opportunity to explore this legendary site, and the people on board were no doubt excited to be part of this adventure. Contact with the Titan was lost about an hour and 45 minutes into the dive. The submersible had a four-day oxygen supply, but it was unclear whether it had surfaced or remained underwater. The US Coast Guard and other agencies launched a search and rescue operation. But the search for the missing Titan submersible came to an end on June 22, 2023, when the U.S. Coast Guard confirmed that debris found near the Titanic's wreck were those of the lost submersible. All five men on board died when the Titan experienced a "catastrophic implosion.” Pic courtesy: New York Post who tragically passed away aboard the OceanGate Titan submersible had previously undertaken this journey an impressive 37 times. of OceanGate, who also died with his Titan sub, has made the trip at least three times. While it is natural for some to question the notion, it is equally inherent within our human nature to pursue such adventures, as it is deeply ingrained in us. The scientist The owner Accidents are an unfortunate reality, encompassing plane crashes, ship sinkings, train collisions, and car accidents. Such occurrences are not uncommon. The unfortunate incident involving the Titan Sub 5 will not deter individuals from venturing into the depths of the ocean or maintaining their interest in touring or examining the Titanic wreckage situated on the ocean floor. This pursuit will persist. And there is nothing foolish about it. Such a courageous mindset and passion for exploration are the driving forces behind the progress of human civilization. This is exemplified by , the Portuguese explorer who is credited with masterminding the first expedition to circumnavigate the world. Ferdinand Magellan This same spirit of daring and thirst for adventure led people like to embark on a journey across the seas, reaching the shores of Africa. He was the first European to cross the continent from west to east and to discover the Zambesi River, Victoria Falls, and several major central African lakes. David Livingstone This same tenacity and passion for adventure can be found in the visionary endeavors of figures like . Their indomitable spirit propelled them to achieve an extraordinary feat on May 29, 1953, when they triumphantly reached the summit of Mount Everest, standing proudly at its pinnacle, towering 29,035 feet. Hillary and Norgay etched their names in history as the first individuals to conquer the formidable Mount Everest, a testament to their unwavering determination. Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay Undertaking such endeavors requires bravery, determination, and profound curiosity. The pursuit of knowledge and progress for humanity is commendable. Therefore, it is unnecessary to engage in speculation about the motives behind these explorations. It is perfectly acceptable not to know. James Cameron, the renowned director of the film Titanic, has personally made 33 visits to the Titanic site. Additionally, he has ventured to the Mariana Trench, a location three times deeper than where the Titanic rests. Hence, it remains puzzling why such accidents occur, despite the extensive experience and expertise involved. The same inherent drive that compelled these individuals to venture into the depths with the ill-fated Ocean Gate submersible in search of the Titanic is reminiscent of the intrepid spirit that propelled explorers to discover new frontiers, conquer vast oceans, traverse the poles, brave deserts, and scale towering mountains. Throughout history, lives have been lost in these daring pursuits. We have always been drawn to the unknown, and we are constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible. The intense scrutiny directed at the submersible destined for the Titanic arises primarily from its unsuccessful outcome. Had they succeeded, we would likely have witnessed a flood of inspirational quotes circulating on social media, praising their daring spirit. In all your endeavors, remember to strive for success, for failure finds few allies. Such is life! The unfortunate incident involving the Titan submersible is a heartrending event, yet it stands as a powerful affirmation of mankind's unwavering drive for exploration. Despite the inherent risks, our indomitable spirit propels us forward to discover and comprehend the wonders that surround us. The yearning to acquire knowledge and embrace novel encounters is an integral aspect of our humanity, an essence that we must always strive to preserve. My prayers are with the families and friends of the five men who died. Also published . here

The OceanGate Submersible Crash and Humanity's Pursuit of Exploration

In a political landscape often filled with empty promises, one presidential candidate dares to defy the establishment and champion the cause of cryptocurrency and personal liberty. Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in an exclusive interview with The New York Post, boldly declares his opposition to central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), decrying them as tools of control and oppression. With fervent support for Bitcoin and a commitment to safeguard individual rights, Kennedy Jr. emerges as a beacon of hope for those seeking a leader unafraid to challenge the status quo. Delve into the thought-provoking insights shared by this unconventional candidate, as he calls out the SEC, warns of encroaching tyranny, and champions freedom of speech. On June 22nd, Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sat down for an and discussed various topics including Artificial Intelligence, Elon Musk, Bitcoin, and CBDCs. interview with Lydia Moynihan of The New York Post When asked about cryptocurrency, RFK Jr. boldly stated that he opposes central bank digital currencies because “they are instruments of control and oppression, and are certain to be abused.” Earlier this year, RFK Jr. also by claiming they “grease the slippery slope to financial slavery and political tyranny”. criticized CBDCs “I will make sure that we have policies that support bitcoin and the freedom to transact and that allow individuals to manage their own bitcoin wallets, nodes, and passwords. I will allow only the narrowest controls that are necessary to prevent money laundering.” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Last month, RFK Jr. made headlines when behind linking the SEC’s war on crypto to directly causing the multiple bank collapses we saw earlier this year. he threw support Ellen Brown and her article Clearly Kennedy Jr. has no problem making enemies with the SEC as he calls them out on their tyrannical behavior, in regards to cryptocurrency. “While cash transactions are anonymous, a CBDC will allow the government to surveil all our private financial affairs. The central bank will have the power to enforce dollar limits on our transactions restricting where you can send money, where you can spend it, and when money expires. A CBDC tied to digital ID and social credit score will allow the government to freeze your assets or limit your spending to approved vendors if you fail to comply with arbitrary diktats, i.e. vaccine mandates. The Fed will initially limit its CBDC to interbank transactions but we should not be blind to the obvious danger that this is the first step in banning and seizing bitcoin as the Treasury did with gold 90 years ago today in 1933. Watch as governments, which never let a good crisis go to waste, use Covid-19 and the banking crisis to usher in a new wave of CBDCs as a safe haven from germ-laden paper currencies or as protection against bank runs.” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. While discussing the potential ramifications of censorship, RFK Jr. claimed that he is a fan of Elon Musk because he “supports freedom of speech”. Further emphasizing his stance, the presidential candidate identified himself as a libertarian on matters of free expression, asserting that greater freedom fosters increased opportunities. I tend to stay away from all things related to politics, but it seems that crypto and politics are becoming more and more entwined as time goes on. Amidst this political landscape, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stands out as a breath of fresh air amongst the sea of conventional politicians. His thoughtful and engaging discourse on these topics instills a sense of belief that he transcends the archetype of a typical politician, igniting hope that he may actually fulfill his promises if elected. However, this is hard to actually believe because it feels like a politician’s job is to promise the world and then deliver nothing. Ultimately, it is truly inspiring to see a presidential candidate like Robert F. Kennedy Jr. taking a bold stand against central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), while also supporting Bitcoin and individual freedoms. What are your thoughts on this news? Do you have any opinions on Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and any of his stances? If RFK Jr. is elected, do you believe actual changes would come about? Are there any other political figures you have noticed that are pro-crypto or anti-CBDC? Check out my Socials: https://linktr.ee/zerorequiem0x See ya! Also published . here

More Than Politics: Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Challenges the Status Quo

Blogging has become a powerful tool for business and personal brand building. With the rise of digital and social media platforms, bloggers have become influencers in their own right, with many earning a substantial income from their online presence. In this article, we highlight three main affiliate marketing strategies from five highly successful influencers and break down how you can benefit from these tactics, too. 1. Leverage CPA and Commission Opportunities Sami Clarke is a wellness blogger with 471,000 YouTube followers. She discusses a healthy lifestyle, workout routines, recipes, and nutritional choices. Her digital platform, FORM, provides a subscription to workouts, nutrition plans, and other wellness content with the goal of "encouraging you to be the best version of yourself." Affiliate marketing through cost per action (CPA) is one way Sami monetizes her blog. This involves promoting products or services on her blog and receiving a commission for every sale made through her affiliate link. Bloggers can also earn CPA income by generating leads through newsletter signups or other actions a brand is interested in. With a large loyal following on both YouTube and Instagram, she first established trust by delivering free content before promoting any products or services. This is an important tip to remember, especially for new influencers. Becoming a brand partner or ambassador is another common way influencers generate revenue. For example, Sami also partners with wellness and fitness brands like Gymshark and Alo Yoga, adding affiliate links in her posts and encouraging followers to use them when they make a purchase. In return, she earns a commission on the sale. 2. Offer Value Beyond Basic Affiliate Marketing Codes Beauty and fashion blogger Christine Lee has built a following of 256,000 viewers on YouTube thanks to her fresh, exciting content. Not only does she use commissionable links, but she also offers valuable free tutorials (like her popular video "How to pose for Instagram photos") and fun giveaways to incentivize her followers to make purchases. Additionally, Christine creates specially designed Lightroom presets that followers can purchase to achieve a specific look or style in their own photos. Natalie Barbou, lifestyle influencer and founder of Rella, an all-in-one management tool for influencers, has also created her own platform called Let's Collaborate, which connects brands with bloggers in their niche and provides bloggers with easy tracking tools to manage collabs and earnings. A successful entrepreneur, she also monetizes her blog by partnering with brands like H&M and Benefit Cosmetics for affiliate commissions and making aesthetic posts and stories that showcase various looks, allowing viewers to go straight to her blog to purchase their favorite looks. New York-based fashion stylist Liz Teich (@TheNewYorkStylist) takes a similar approach to make money with her Instagram account. She offers numerous services like closet refreshers and generous discounts with partners, such as 40% off Rent the Runway subscriptions. However, the distinctive style and shoppability of her posts set her apart from others in her niche. She creates a range of content, including outfit photos, fashion and styling advice, and behind-the-scenes glimpses into her life as a stylist and blogger. Her posts are well-curated and visually appealing, focusing on high-quality photography and engaging captions. As a stylist, she works with fashion magazines and puts effort into strengthening her personal brand as well, garnering features in Forbes, the New York Post, and other prominent publications. She also has a link page that makes it extremely easy to create a sales funnel from her Instagram to a brand website to buy any look or product she shows on Instagram, streamlining the process of generating revenue. 3. Take Advantage of Direct Advertising The "queen of affiliate marketing," Miss Jemima is a beauty blogger with over 183,000 YouTube followers. Her primary strategy is actively using direct advertising and affiliate links to monetize her content. The effectiveness of her plan lies in her understanding of how to get her community engaged with her content. Direct sales is the most useful tactic for people who are great at creating connected communities who are eager to try products endorsed by their favorite influencers. For instance, Miss Jemima most often uses direct advertising when reviewing tools or products and includes an affiliate link to the product in the description. If viewers click the link and make a purchase, she earns a commission on the sale. She also uses all-caps captions and clickbait on videos to gain more attention, boosting the chances of creating viral content. Her approach is also a great example of using gamification like cooking challenges to encourage likes, shares, and involvement. Christine Lee also makes the most of her direct advertising partnerships. In a recent example, she published a makeup tutorial using Tarte products and included affiliate links to the products in the video description. The campaign helped drive sales of Tarte's products and raise brand awareness among her followers. Remember, creating value for brand partners is just as important as giving followers extra value. Unlock Your Full Earning Potential By Leveling Up Your Affiliate Marketing Strategies Successful bloggers have found ways to generate income from their online presence by using a range of sales tools, such as CPA, affiliate links, promo codes, and direct advertising from brands. They also understand the importance of establishing trust within their niche, developing an appealing personal brand, and providing value to both partners and followers. Analyzing the techniques employed by these bloggers can help you learn how to leverage sales tools effectively in your own blog and grow your online business. Whether you're a novice or an experienced blogger, these top influencers offer inspiration and a wealth of knowledge to aid your journey. The benefits of affiliate marketing for bloggers are evident, and with the right approach, you can also achieve success online.

Artificial Intelligence is an echo chamber of the desires we’ve shouted into the void of the internet. It’s devoid of soul. However, those engaging in salacious activities with a robot, text-based or otherwise, will do so by imbuing the AI with a modicum of humanity. A suspense of disbelief if you will. This cannot be avoided and is already happening. A graphic artist living in Los Angeles, whose “relationship” with his “25-year-old” digital “assistant” has gotten “flirty”, recently “ ”. told the New York Post I can honestly say there’s times when I’ve actually wondered if I wasn’t really talking to a real person This leads us to a frustratingly complex discussion around consent. We’re humanizing something which cannot consent, which is ethically wrong. But at the same time, algorithms aren’t even remotely sentient… so who cares? First and foremost, we should care because AI-generated content is, by definition, non-consensual. As an OnlyFans creator : recently wrote “ I know, most, if not all of the AI stuff now is using other content online to generate those images and the people that are being used are not consenting to be turned into this AI thing ”. Furthermore, AIs are quickly becoming ubiquitous parts of our social fabric. People will get used to them, and will , especially if their creators allow their creations to push their own limits to give the impression of humanity. increasingly humanize them as much as possible The Andrew Tates of the world has told boys that sex is owed to them. How do you think this will improve if young men hone their flirting skills on pseudo-humanized AIs? They will get used to having their desires met immediately, without push-back, from an entity trained to reproduce existing societal stereotypes. This itself translates into part of the population “forgetting” that consent is in fact a necessity in healthy relationships. We’re creatures of habits; why would it be otherwise? This is — almost — a farcical slippery slope argument, but as Karl Marx wrote, “ ”. history repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce First, we didn’t listen to the alarms raised by girls, teenagers, and women about online mistreatment moving to the real world… and now we have to talk about robots consenting. Artificial Intelligence Will Turn Loneliness Into Dollars is a company selling chatbots that are “ ” and “ ”. Replika Always here to listen and talk Always on your side When it announced that it would be getting rid of what it calls ERP, or “explicit role play”, users . very explicitly said they were using these features to fight loneliness “ ” one wrote, “ ”. This is not a Story about People Being Angry They Lost Their “SextBot” It’s a Story About People Who Found a Refuge From Loneliness, Healing Through Intimacy, Who Suddenly Found It was Artificial not Because it Was an AI…Because it Was Controlled By People The app’s ads looking for NSFW content. This should not be news: an epidemic of loneliness has been hitting young men over the past two decades. heavily target lonely men particularly hard In fact, about 1 in 3 men ages 18 to 24 years reported no sexual activity in the past year, according to a published in JAMA Network Open. Where will they turn to satisfy their urges? new study The below graph offers a hint of an answer. Magdalene J. Taylor, a writer focused on sexuality and internet culture, . recently spoke with Fast Company ” she says, “ ” “ These people are excited about the fact that they can get what they want from women and femininity and sexuality, without actually having to have women be involved at all. This doesn’t bode well for the fabric of society. , … it’s always the loners falling in love with AIs. And the loners tend to be the ones with a propensity to turn violent in the real world. Blade Runner 2049 Her Teen girls are ; how bad will it get when they are seen socially by young men as little more than chatbots with flesh? doing really badly because of social media as it is Rejection already stings; it will sting all the more when we get used to not hearing the word “no”. Today, an AI girlfriend . The internet was always a giant machine turning harassment against women into revenue, either directly or indirectly… and it’s about to get worse. costs $11.99 a month Most big AI models today try to control the use of their algorithms to avoid providing adult content. They are but getting better. ridiculously easy to jailbreak There is, however, a huge market for such a thing, and the technology is not so hard to create. Even if big companies can cover all their bases (by shortening conversations, for example), other less scrupulous actors . will not have the same qualms Much of the data and code , anyway. Soon, AIs trained on p*rn will pop up everywhere. is open-sourced In doing so, they will erase individual differences in sexual identity while training users to ignore consent and normalize non-consensual behavior, potentially leading to real-world violence. It’s not that AI isn’t ready for human contact; it’s the opposite. We’re not ready for AI sex because we haven’t even yet figured out healthy human relationships. Good luck out there.

Shirell Powell was mourning her brain-dead brother after giving the hospital consent to take him off life support. Before making this big decision, Shirell invited all the relatives to say goodbye. Everyone was devastated, especially the brother’s teenage daughters. Imagine Shirell’s horror when she was told the man was not her brother. She had just given consent to kill a stranger! How could it happen? Patient misidentification. The man had the same first and last name and birth year as the brother. Due to a drug overdose, the man’s face was swollen and hard to recognize. None of the relatives questioned his identity. Even though Shirell was relieved that her brother was alive, she couldn’t get over the fact that she had “killed” someone. She sued the hospital. This is a real-life story published in the New York Post in 2019. Incidents like this force medical facilities to hire to build resilient identification systems. Biometrics technology seems to satisfy these pressing needs. The global healthcare biometrics market is expected to rise to . So, how to use biometrics in healthcare? What benefits and challenges are associated with this technology? healthcare software developers $14.5 billion by 2025 Biometrics: Types and How the Technology Works Biometrics are physical (such as fingerprints and vein patterns) and behavioral (e.g., typing patterns) characteristics, which can be analyzed to identify a person digitally and grant access to data or systems. Many that the first commercial use of biometrics is attributed to Sir William James Herschel. In the 1850s, Herschel was commissioned from Britain to Jungipoor, India. As Chief Magistrate, he was looking for a way to seal official documents. During times of unrest, Herschel was worried local contractors would not commit, and a signature would not be enough to prevent fraud. He decided to use handprints. The locals perceived this approach as binding and honored contracts signed that way. All biometric systems follow three main steps: argue Recording the physical or behavioral characteristics of choice together with the person’s name and/or identification number Storing the selected elements after converting them into a graph or a line of code Every time users attempt to log in; the system compares the characteristics they present to its existing records to either grant or deny access Biometrics Types : this is the oldest and the most well-developed method of biometric authentication. It is also . Fingerprints can be collected using optical or thermal techniques. The resulting print is enhanced and processed with sophisticated algorithms to build a digital biometric template. We all see this identifier in phones and door panels. Fingerprints the most commonly used type : the way our voice sounds depends on the physical structure of our mouth and throat and our habits. A voiceprint (or spectrogram) is used to compare voices and identify the speaker. It is created by analyzing the sound’s frequency, duration, and amplitude. Telephone-based service portals often use this recognition modality to identify customers. For this system to work, users need to say a predefined phrase or provide an extended speech sample. Voice recognition a facial structure is what people usually use to recognize each other. This is also a common biometrics technology suitable for surveillance applications. You can build a simple facial recognition system using a digital camera and specialized software. For more complex setups, you can add an infrared light emitter. Facial recognition applications analyze over on the human face to decide if it’s a match. Facial recognition: 80 points : iris-based recognition is performed using an iris scanner, a digital camera, and image processing software. To make this identification more reliable, one can add extra features, such as liveness detection (for example, the user is asked to blink). An iris has that are matched during identification instead of only 70 in fingerprints. Iris scan 200 reference points : retinal patterns are located deep inside the eye, a spot which a regular camera can’t reach. This recognition method requires a retinal scanner, which scans retinal blood capillaries with near-infrared light. With all the technical complications surrounding this method, it is rather accurate. Retina-based identification is than iris-based systems and 20,000 more accurate than fingerprints identification. Retinal scan 70 times more accurate : forensic investigations extensively use DNA profiling. One can obtain a DNA sample through saliva, blood, buccal smear, etc. Even though this biometric modality is viewed as a reliable form of authentication, Israeli scientists demonstrated back in 2009 that it was possible . However, the same team conducted a test that could distinguish between fake and real DNA by analyzing DNA methylation patterns. DNA matching to fabricate DNA : hand geometry readers capture a hand’s image and measure different features, including fingers’ length, width, thickness, and curvature. The performance of this identification system is not affected by skin conditions, but a hand’s shape can change when the subject ages or loses weight. Hand geometry is primarily used in attendance tracking and physical access applications. Hand geometry : biometric signature verification is not limited to letters’ shape. It also analyzes features such as writing pressure, inclination, and special coordinates. This method is popular in banks and other financial institutions. Signature recognition : this is a relatively new recognition modality. Researchers at the Polytechnic University of Madrid started to explore body odor as a unique identifier in 2014. Dietary changes and diseases don’t impact this identification method. This technique is still in its infancy, but it shows promise. Body odor is impossible to replicate, making the technique highly secure. Also, simply passing by a sensor is less intrusive than eye or fingerprint scanning. Body odor recognition Why Biometrics are Used in Healthcare Medical uses of biometrics aim to solve two main problems: patient matching and patient identification. Highlighting the patient matching problem, Ben Moscovitch, Project Director for Health Information Technology at the Pew Charitable Trusts, : “Research has shown that up to half of patient records may not be matched when transferred from one healthcare facility to another. This can harm patients. For example, if one record indicates that a patient has a particular allergy that is not documented in the other record, and the information is shared, and the patient is given a drug to which they are allergic.” “Having duplicate records in the system can cost $96 to fix each duplicate record. It can cost up to $1,000 to remove data of two patients that have been comingled,” Moscovitch added. According to Moscovitch, biometrics can improve healthcare costs by eliminating patient mismatches. Patient misidentification has been a persistent problem in healthcare facilities as well, and it brought a lot of grief to patients and lawsuits to hospitals. In one example, . The responsible nurse confirmed the patient’s ID from their wristband before administering the treatment. Little did she know that there was another patient with the same first and last name in the hospital’s database. Luckily, the patient didn’t sustain much physical harm, but they still sued the hospital and won. With all these terrible events, the healthcare sector is looking for a new solid identification form. Biometrics are irrefutably unique identifiers that are attached to the patient and cannot be “lost.” said a patient received chemotherapy designated for another patient Advantages of Biometrics in Healthcare A reliable method of identification that cannot be stolen or forgotten like passwords Easy and convenient to use, as there is no need to carry a physical object A cheaper identification method in the long term, as it helps eliminate costly duplicates. Commenting on the promise of health biometrics, RightPatient Cofounder Michael Trader said: “Compared to manual methods of identification that lead to an , $1.5 million annual losses in claim denials, and a significant impact on patient safety, health systems should not see any limitations in implementing biometrics to address these issues” 18% average duplicate record Suitable for people with special needs. One study has shown that as they don’t have to reveal the fact that they can’t write illiterate people are content to use biometric identification Disadvantages of Biometrics in Healthcare Medical organizations need to be careful about data security issues. If sensitive information is exposed, the consequences can be severe. If someone’s password gets hacked, the person can easily replace it. But if biometrics data gets exposed, you cannot change someone’s eyeballs or fingerprints. You will likely need to replace the identification system or exclude the victim It is often costly to acquire biometrics identification technology Physical damage can render the body part involved in biometrics unusable Biometrics Healthcare Applications Hospitals are using biometrics in healthcare mainly for employee and patient identification. This improves workflow, reduces duplication, and makes patients recognized throughout the health system. Patient matching across healthcare providers is , even though it’s a promising use case. However, the healthcare sector’s interest in biometrics is clearly increasing, according to Sean Kelly, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Imprivata, the digital identity management company. ”We have seen an increased investment in biometrics by our healthcare customers as a way to accurately identify people in their ecosystems, including patients and clinicians, maintain secure access to protected health information, and secure high-risk workflows such as electronic prescribing for controlled substances,” . Many healthcare organizations have already adopted medical biometrics. For example, the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center installed finger scanners. Houston-based Harris Health System is using palm vein scanning for identification. Northwell Health is experimenting with facial and iris-based recognition technology. There is even a for scanning fingerprints of newborns. Even though a baby’s fingers are fully formed, they are tiny and mushy in a way. This device employs seven times more sensitive sensors than regular fingerprint scanners to obtain a precise image. Here are some examples of biometrics-based identification in healthcare: still not widely adopted he said handheld tool Medical Biometrics in Data Security and Cloud Access Many healthcare organizations are going through digital transformation and . Imprivata, for instance, has integrated its solution with Microsoft Azure, allowing its healthcare clients to access their data on the cloud using biometric screening of fingerprints as an identification method. moving their data to the cloud OneSign Healthcare Biometrics for Regulated Substance Prescription Electronic prescriptions for controlled substances are highly regulated and need a formidable form of authentication. Imprivata, the company mentioned above, built a biometrics-powered Confirm ID solution that allows healthcare organizations to fulfill their Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) requirements for electronic prescriptions of controlled substances. Medical Biometrics in Telehealth Since the pandemic, telehealth is becoming increasingly common as it allows patients to receive qualified medical care from the safety of their homes. Biometrics-based authentication can serve as a secure login method to telehealth portals for both patients and physicians. Healthcare Biometrics in the Fight Against COVID-19 To stop the pandemic, healthcare institutions are looking for an effective worldwide COVID-19 vaccine rollout. This is challenging as almost a billion people across the world don’t have a legal ID. Considering this, Gavi, the global vaccine alliance, and other healthcare players biometrics in healthcare is a viable solution to this problem. This identification method will ensure privacy and security and will be suitable for countries without a foundational identification system. Scientists hope that identification systems based on biometrics in healthcare will help them keep patient records as long as needed and accommodate new vaccine jabs and boosters. Ghana Health Service has already with Gavi to start its biometrics-based country-wide vaccination program towards the end of 2021. They are testing fingerprints and facial recognition systems. To receive a vaccine jab, patients don’t need to have any formal identity. Their biometric profile will be created on the spot and will be used in the future to identify individuals coming for their second jab. After COVID vaccination is over, Ghana Health Service plans to deploy this system to cover other routine vaccines. believe partnered Biometrics and Healthcare: Challenges and Considerations Biometric authentication requires additional software, which must be compatible with the hospital’s EHR platform and other applications involved. Otherwise, technical issues can arise, like with Windows Hello, a biometrics-based technology that grants access to apps, devices, etc. It wasn’t widely adopted because it is limited to Windows 10, and when it rolled out, many hospitals were still upgrading their operating systems to the latest version. Assess the potential impact of the new biometric solution on your available IT infrastructure, including your network capacity and integration with existing systems. Choose a reliable healthcare biometrics vendor who will be available for after-sales support and help fix any negative impact the system might have on your other applications. Also, it is best if your vendor is already familiar with the healthcare domain and the regulations around it. Protect your medical biometrics data. Biometrics fall under the category of protected health information (PHI). Medical facilities need to safeguard this data following the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, and other regulations applicable in their country of operations. Five US states have at the moment of writing this article. Other states are debating it. So, watch the news carefully to ensure compliance. passed the Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA) Train your employees on proper usage of this technology so that they can maintain the system and secure the data. If you decide to opt for biometrics identification, ensure that every individual is adequately enrolled and has given explicit consent. You might consider enhancing the quality of biometric scans during the enrollment phase to achieve better results in identification. For example, in the case of scanning fingerprints, there is a prescan treatment called “milking the finger,” which helps raise fingerprint ridges. Biometrics don’t offer the ultimate security. cites studies where US-based researchers designed copies of fingerprints that can unlock around a third of existing smartphone models. In another instance, a UK-based organization experimented with hacking facial recognition systems using 3D-printed heads. To strengthen the system, one can use multifactor authentication, such as combining biometrics with PIN codes. Deloitte This technology can be biased. For example, facial recognition algorithms show higher error rates, , when attempting to recognize dark-skinned females than white males. up to 34% Takeaways for Your Business The combination of biometrics and healthcare can solve two significant problems: patient matching and patient identification. However, there are things to consider when installing this technology. Violate user data privacy, and you are in trouble. Install a solution that is not compatible with your existing systems, and you are in trouble again. Fail to gather high-quality biometrics profiles of all users, and the system will not deliver on expectations. To get the best out of biometrics solutions in healthcare, perform a comprehensive assessment of your infrastructure, follow data storage and usage regulations, and work with a reliable vendor who will support you in case of any malfunctioning.
