AI-generated voices in robocalls now illegal: The FCC has revealed the unanimous adoption of a Declaratory Ruling that recognizes calls made with AI-generated voices are “artificial” under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). The ruling, which takes effect immediately, makes voice cloning technology used in common robocall scams targeting consumers illegal. This would give State Attorneys General across the country new tools to go after bad actors behind these nefarious robocalls. “Bad actors are using AI-generated voices in unsolicited robocalls to … More → The post AI-generated voices in robocalls now illegal appeared first on Help Net Security. @Poseidon-US #HelpNetSecurity #Cybersecurity

Exciting news in the world of cybersecurity and data privacy today! ✨ The FCC has taken a strong stance against major carriers by slapping them with hefty fines for sharing customers' location data without consent 🛡️. This move sets an important precedent for the protection of user privacy and data security in the digital age 🌐. Here are my predictions and thoughts on this development: - Tightening of regulations: This incident is likely to lead to stricter regulations around data sharing practices within the telecom industry 📶. Organizations will need to implement robust measures to ensure data privacy compliance. - Increased focus on cybersecurity: These fines serve as a wake-up call for telecom companies to prioritize cybersecurity and data protection initiatives 🔒. We can expect to see a surge in investments in cybersecurity technologies and practices. - Consumer awareness and empowerment: With this enforcement action, consumers are becoming more aware of the importance of data privacy and their rights over their personal information 🧐. This may lead to a shift in consumer behavior towards companies that prioritize data security. - Potential legal battles: It is possible that the carriers will contest these fines, leading to lengthy legal battles and potential further discussions surrounding data privacy laws and enforcement ⚖️. Let's continue to monitor how this incident unfolds and its ripple effects on the cybersecurity landscape. Stay tuned for more updates as we navigate the evolving landscape of data privacy and security in the digital era! 🚀 #cybersecurity #dataprotection #privacyrights #AINews #AutomatorSolutions 👨💻🔒 #CyberSecurityAINews ----- Original Publish Date: 2024-04-29 17:06

#ATTuser? Information from 73 million current and former AT&T accounts appears to have been leaked onto the dark web, the communications company said Saturday. The data set was released about two weeks ago onto the dark web, which can be used for illegal activity by anonymous criminals. It may have included information such as Social Security numbers, phone numbers, email addresses, full names, dates of birth and mailing addresses, according to AT&T’s note to customers. The company said it reset the passcodes of 7.6 million current customers. The company said it is investigating with the help of inside and outside cybersecurity experts, and has not determined yet if the data came from AT&T or one of its vendors. “Currently, AT&T does not have evidence of unauthorized access to its systems resulting in exfiltration of the data set,” the company said in a statement. The data appears to be from 2019 or earlier, and contains information from 7.6 million current AT&T account holders and about 65.4 million former account holders, AT&T said. The company said it was notifying customers whose data was leaked and would pay for credit monitoring when applicable. Many high-profile companies have suffered data breaches, including both of AT&T’s biggest rivals. Verizon has seen multiple reports of information leaks over the years, and T-Mobile has had at least eight incidents since 2018, including a 2021 instance in which hackers stole the data of millions of customers. This year, a hack at a third-party company may have exposed the account information of American Express cardholders. AT&T was thrust into a harsh spotlight last month when a massive cellphone outage affected more than 1.7 million customers and disrupted 911 services in some states. The company said it was caused by a technical error, not a cyberattack. ;-(

Ever feel like you're being followed? Like, not in a flattering way, but in a "mysterious data brokers are selling my location" kind of way? Yeah, me neither. (nervous chuckle) Well, guess what? The FCC just hit four major carriers with a cool $200 million fine for, you guessed it, illegally selling user location data. Apparently, they sold it to some shady middlemen who then...well, you get the picture. The carriers are saying they're not to blame because, hey, they're not the ones who resold it a million times over, right? But here's the thing, data is the new oil, and if you're not protecting your customers' data like Fort Knox, well, you might be next in line for a seven-figure fine. Especially for us small and medium-sized businesses, a data breach can be catastrophic. So, what are you doing to button up your cybersecurity? And more importantly, are you SURE you know where all your customer data is going? Just a thought. P.S. For those of you who are data security gurus, hit me with your best tips in the comments! We're all in this together, right? #SMBs #cybersecurity #dataprivacy https://hubs.ly/Q02vy6XK0

Unbelievable! Just came across a shocking article exposing the utter disregard for customer privacy by 23andMe. 😤 Apparently, they've suffered a massive data breach, and instead of owning up to their responsibility, they have the audacity to blame their own customers! 🤯 According to a recent TechCrunch article (link below), 23andMe is pointing fingers at its users for the breach, essentially claiming it's their fault for not securing their own data. 🚫🔒 This is an absolute disgrace! Link to the article: TechCrunch - 23andMe Tells Victims It's Their Fault That Their Data Was Breached Our personal genetic information is sensitive and should be treated with the utmost care and responsibility. To blame customers for the company's failure to secure their infrastructure is not just disappointing; it's downright infuriating! 😤 👎 Shame on you, 23andMe! 😡 Your customers trusted you with their most personal data, and this is how you repay them? Time for some serious accountability and a reevaluation of your priorities. #PrivacyMatters #CustomerFirst #23andMeFail 🚫🔐 https://lnkd.in/gm9eeGuj
