Cassa comune a scuola? Basta colletta a mano, molto meglio le app e i siti internet
Che la colletta a scuola sia sempre stata una costante per far fronte alle esigenze base di alunni e professori è un dato di fatto. A cambiare nel tempo, semmai, sono gli obiettivi per cui viene organizzata: se fino anche solo al decennio scorso si puntava a dizionari, cancellini e cartine geografiche, ora inevitabilmente lo sguardo è spesso rivolto alle nuove tecnologie.

Roxxxy Sex Robot Faces Stiff Opposition in the United Kingdom
It is rather evident that the concept of sex robots will not go away anytime soon. However, opposition to this industry is growing every single month. One new campaign aims to outlaw robot sex dolls which can be programmed to resist advances. We discussed a similar topic not long ago, and it seems there are more and more arguments being voiced against such devices. Whether or not the latest campaign will be successful remains to be seen. Robot Sex Dolls Remain a Controversial Concept Everyone will readily agree programming a sex doll to have a specific personality is both creepy but somewhat intriguing. Like it or not, the technology is here to let people program a robot to their liking, even if that means they will only use this “tool” for carnal pleasures. There is nothing preventing people from writing their own software to do exactly that. Making it a “mainstream” solution will keep it out of the underground markets and out of the hands of less mentally stable individuals. Or that is the idea, at least. At the same time, we know of at least one manufacturer developing robot sex dolls capable of resisting advances. Many people feel such a development will only encourage rape, although the jury is still out on that one. It is certainly true making a sex robot play “hard to get” will have some consequences in one way or another. It is unclear why anyone would purposefully build such software to begin with, as it just sets a wrong example regardless of how you want to look at things. Katie Parker of the Schools Consent Project is a clear opponent of robot sex dolls. More specifically, she doesn’t like the Roxxxy sex doll one bit, due to its controversial software package. Considering how her organization is all about sexual consent, it is only to be expected that there would be a lot of opposition from that direction. Having a robot which can be programmed to cater to users’ darkest fantasies opens a proverbial Pandora’s Box. According to Parker, it is not an offense to own one of these robot sex dolls in the United Kingdom. Whether or not that situation will change in the future remains to be seen. Rest assured the UK government – as well as politicians all over the world – are taking notice of these new robots and how they can influence our society as a whole. Moreover, she claims dolls like these “normalize sexual violence”. That train of thought is pretty easy to follow, as a sex robot can never give actual consent like a human would. The main point of emphasis for Parker is how we are not dealing with a thinking and feeling human being here. Robots such as Roxxxy are very problematic, as the person “raping” the sex doll presumably wouldn’t feel remorse or be confronted with any repercussions whatsoever. Parker calls this type of robot a “distraction for criminal impulses which should probably be subject to psychiatric intervention.” For the time being, True Companion maintains that its doll is not intended to be programmed to participate in a rape scenario. Moreover, the company feels the allegations made by Parker and others are “pure conjecture”. Then again, it is doubtful such a sex robot would be successful in warding off a sexual assault in the first place. As with all robots, we can only hope that such devices promote happiness and the greater good rather than bring out the worst in humanity.

Criminals Target CMS Systems to Deploy Malicious Monero Mining Tools
Cybercriminals all over the world have taken a liking to Bitcoin over the past few years. Up to this point, it remains unclear as to why that is, considering Bitcoin has no privacy or anonymity features whatsoever. However, it seems the tide is slowly turning and Monero is quickly becoming the new go-to cryptocurrency in this regard. Especially when it comes to mining Monero, criminals are coming up with increasingly crafty solutions. Malicious Cryptocurrency Mining Efforts Intensify Given the recent surge in Monero mining-related scripts on websites, it is not entirely surprising to see criminals take a keen interest in this new “industry”. More specifically, they are trying to come up with new ways to mine Monero using other people’s computing resources. Embedding a mining script on webpages has proven to be quite successful in this regard, and it looks as if we will see even more efforts like these in the near future. More specifically, a new report by IBM’s X-Force shows how the number of attacks related to delivering cryptocurrency mining tools on enterprise networks has increased. That is not a good sign by any means, as it shows criminals are looking for new ways to maliciously mine Monero. For now, the preferred attack vector involves infecting WordPress and Joomla servers with such mining scripts. There are actually multiple ways to infect sites with malicious cryptocurrency mining “tools”. Embedding Javascript on a hacked site is just one of the many ways to successfully achieve such goals. It has proven to be pretty lucrative over these past few weeks, although this is likely only the beginning. CMS platforms such as Joomla, WordPress and even JBoss lend themselves perfectly to the installation of such scripts. However, another method growing in popularity involves modifying image files. In some instances, the assailants will use steganography to embed cryptocurrency mining tools within image files. We have written about this concept in the past already and it appears this attack vector is only getting more popular. After all, no one would expect an image file to mine Monero on behalf of criminals, yet that is exactly what is happening these days. What is even more worrisome is how such Monero mining attacks often target manufacturing and financial services websites right now. Arts and entertainment is another popular sector in this regard. Surprisingly enough, the retail sector doesn’t suffer from such hacking attempts all that much. Considering how many images they host for products and services, one would expect things to turn out very differently. This doesn’t mean that trend will not change, though. Last but not least, the report shows how new versions of the Mirai botnet no longer support cryptocurrency mining features right now. That is one positive trend people need to pay a bit more attention to. This doesn’t mean Miria botnet software is no longer actively distributed, mind you. However, it shows things are changing in the world of cybercrime, and countering the new trends will not be easy.
