As speculated before, there appears to be plenty of blame to go around. The pilots’ getting contradictory info certainly points to maintenance issues. If the pilots knew the data was contradictory,\u00a0 some pilot error seems reasonable (and makes it surprising they chose to continue the mission, especially in a very height-restricted corridor.) If they didn’t get the warning due to the pilot keying her mike as the warning was issued, one would think the controller should have been emphatically<\/em> re-warning them, not waiting thirty seconds.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Woman-and-robot-in-room-with-computers-20240427-D-300x300.jpg\")

Now for y’all playing with AI – the latest hottest release of AI has to be DeepSeek, the Chinese owned system recently released at a fraction of the cost of competing Western systems like Open AI or ChatGTP. According to an article forwarded to me by my software wonk protegee, seems there are reason as why DeepSeek is cheap.<\/p>\n
NowSecure, a Chicago-based mobile security company has published a comprehensive security and privacy assessment of the DeepSeek iOS mobile app, uncovering multiple critical vulnerabilities that put individuals, enterprises, and government agencies at risk.<\/p>\n
The DeepSeek iOS app transmits sensitive data over the internet without encryption, making it vulnerable to interception and manipulation. It employs outdated encryption methods, such as Triple DES, with weak and hardcoded encryption keys, violating best security practices. Additionally, usernames, passwords, and encryption keys are stored insecurely, increasing the risk of credential theft. The app collects extensive user and device data, enabling tracking and de-anonymization. Furthermore, user data is transmitted to servers controlled by ByteDance in China, raising concerns over government access and compliance risks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
When the article leads with allegations like that, it ain’t gonna get better the further you read.<\/p>\n
The DeepSeek iOS app transmits registration and device data over the internet without encryption, exposing users to both passive and active attacks. Attackers with privileged network access could intercept and modify data, impacting its integrity. A recent breach involving U.S. Internet Service Providers by the Chinese-based \u201cSalt Typhoon\u201d threat actor demonstrates how such vulnerabilities can be exploited. Even when network attacks are actively conducted, the app continues transmitting sensitive data without sufficient security controls.<\/p>\n
Sensitive data, including usernames, passwords, and encryption keys, was found stored insecurely within the app\u2019s cached database.<\/p>\n
DeepSeek collects and transmits extensive data that can be used for user tracking and de-anonymization.<\/p>\n
User data from the DeepSeek iOS app is sent to Volcengine, a cloud service operated by ByteDance. While some endpoints appear to be located in the United States, further investigation reveals affiliations with Chinese companies, raising concerns over data sovereignty and security.Cyber Security Hub<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nIf you are involved with AI at all, especially DeepSeek – read the article.<\/p>\n
