8 Marzo – March 8

Mary Wollstonecraft’s 1792 work, “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman,” champions women’s legal equality and acknowledges their social significance. The text serves as a reminder of the principles behind International Women’s Day, celebrated on March 8th, advocating for recognition and rights.

Buone Feste, Happy Holidays

Siamo prossimi al Natale! We’re Close to #Christmas! Siamo tutti più buoni! Everyone is good! Come tutti gli anni dovrei avvertirvi di non cadere in truffe, finte collette e cose del genere. Like every year, I should warn you not to fall for scams, fake fundraising and things like that. Ma quest’anno ho deciso di cambiare! But this year, I decided to make a change! Per #Natale e #Capodanno basta cadere in #truffe da sconosciuti. For #Christmas and #NewYear, stop falling for #scams from strangers. Basta #donare a persone che non avete mai sentito nominare con storie strappalacrime! Stop #donating…

Natale, Anno Nuovo, Epifania e lo scam me li porta via.

E siamo ancora sotto le feste, e ci troviamo ancora a dover ripetere, come tutti gli anni, le stesse cose. Chiunque, come me, lavori nel campo della sicurezza informatica sa che non vi è niente di piu remunerativo che far leva sui sentimenti per estorcere dati, denaro o entrambi alle persone. E le feste, come le disgrazie, sono un momento fantastico per fare leva sulla percezione ed i sentimenti della gente per trarne profitto. Purtroppo il fenomeno non solo diminuisce, ma assume ogni anno nuove vesti e nuove forme, navigando tra social media, email, siti web e pubblicità online. Per…

A year lived turbulently

Can you make a resume of the year even if we are only on November 14th? And why not? First of all, I wanted to apologize to those who had wondered what happened to me, but it has been an intense year from different points of view: personal, work and family. I have significantly reduced my presence here for reasons of survival; I put in good intentions to return. A difficult year. It started under the signs of the pandemic and the war, and then cancer to move on to stratospheric energy bills, to the damage of bad weather, to…

World Economic Forum on cybersecurity

World Economic Forum Risk Report 2022 is exciting reading. Being aware of the risk is necessary to address them and understand the landscape we live in. It is also a great way to see how risk perception changes year by year. Looking at the short-term global risk picture, we can see we have weather and climate; economic risks are not top of mind. We have “infectious diseases” to remind us that a pandemic can happen, and we have, some years now, “Cyber Security failure.” Since I work in the Cyber Security field, I have had, as evident, immediate interest in…

What is Democracy?

Belarus was on the news recently for the discussed reelections of its leader Alexander Lukashenko. Suspect that the election process was not honest and clear is not insignificant. Malian coup d’etat is just one of the many we listen to periodically in several parts of the world. I wrote recently on Trump threatening to not agree to leave his office in case he will lose the next 2020 elections. Reading or listening news we can easily make a shortlist of how difficult it is to have in place and maintain such a thing known as democracy. In the Middle East…

Hiroshima August 6th, 1945

At 08:14 and 45 seconds on August 6, 1945, the American bomber Enola Gay dropped “Little Boy,” the bomb that destroyed about 90% of the buildings in the Japanese city of Hiroshima. A devastating flash of lightning, the shockwave, lives broken. The devastation and rubble are there, but then… Then the rain and the dust, the real beginning of the horror. Lives are broken by the radioactive fall-out that follows, condemning to death or unspeakable suffering thousands of people, women, men, children, young people, old people who will suffer for years the consequences of hell brought to earth in the…

Shrems II, Data transfer, and the USA: wheels are rolling.

Probably everyone now has, at least, heard about the EJC sentence called Shrems III that basically rules out the possibility to use Privacy Shield infamous agreement to allow data transfer between EU and USA based on the fact that the USA does not provide enough guarantees EU data will be protected. If you don’t know (but you should) here my previous article: https://thepuchiherald.com/2020/07/17/ops-privacy-shield-bye-bye/ After the sentence one of the question was: what now? Will a Grace period be offered to survive this? (lot of companies were transferring data using privacy shield to USA) And most of all does SCC will…

Ops! Privacy Shield, bye-bye

I was not in the mood to write again on GDPR, there are soo many experts here my voice would be useless (and I Know my fellow accomplices of the #quellidelfascicoloP would agree) but I could not refrain myself from this. Max Schrems did it again and Privacy Shield is gone as his predecessor (safe harbor). This should not come as a surprise, well not at least at this side of the pond. I understand the USA does not have a clue on what we’re talking about, privacy is also a cultural matter and we have a profoundly different approach…
