Jeder Fünfte wird Opfer von Cyber-Spionage | CyberSecurity | Phishing | eSkills | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Gezielte, gut getarnte Phishing-Attacken sind große Gefahr für Unternehmen.


Der Security-Software-Hersteller ESET rät Unternehmen zu einer verstärkten Sensibilisierung für Phishing-Attacken und damit einhergehend zu einer besseren IT-Weiterbildung. Nur so können die eigenen Mitarbeiter vor gezielten und gut getarnten Angriffen geschützt werden. Denn Attacken dieser Art sind mittlerweile geschickt auf ihre Zielgruppen zugeschnitten und nur mit großer Sorgfalt und Verständnis erkennbar.


Anlass für den Ratschlag ist das Ergebnis eines Tests, den das Center of Excellence for Research, Innovation, Education and Industrial Labs Partnership (CEFRIEL) im Auftrag von 15 internationalen Unternehmen kürzlich durchführte. Die Einrichtung prüfte die Anfälligkeit von Mitarbeitern für speziell auf Unternehmen gemünzte Betrugsversuche, so genannte „Spear-Phishing“-Attacken. Das Ergebnis: Jeder Fünfte ging den Testern ins Netz.

Protecting your child's digital identity | Digital CitizenShip | eSkills

Protecting your child's digital identity | Digital CitizenShip | eSkills | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Child identity theft is considered to be one of the fastest-growing crimes. Kids’ identities are stolen over 50 times more than those of adults! We’re often so focused protecting our kids from so many threats in the real world; we forget that in cyberspace bad guys are stealing children’s identities to open credit cards, apply for loans, rent homes and even receive health care. Bad guys make money by selling and reselling the same child’s identity over and over. And they get away with it because parents don’t think about monitoring their son or daughter’s identity.

Why is this important? Children could potentially lose out on future jobs, internships and loans that require a clean background check or credit report—all because they were victims of identity theft as kids. That’s a future I’m trying to help my daughters avoid. Growing up in the real world is difficult enough that I don’t want their digital lives to hold them back.

Steven Stich's curator insight, December 9, 2014 8:40 PM

Did you know that children's identity is stolen over 50 times more than adults? I had no idea until reading this article. People who steal children's identity use their information to open credit cards, apply for loans, and this can affect kids ability to gain jobs in the future as a result. One day these children will be the future of America so it is vital that actions are taken by parents to ensure that their children are being safe online, and that no one is taking advantage of them.

The Top 20 countries for software piracy

The Top 20 countries for software piracy | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
The pervasiveness of online privacy is an acknowledged reality of today’s Internet.

Software licensing, security and usage tracking provider V.i. Labs has analyzed customer data to identify where in the world most software piracy and license misuse originates from. While illegally downloaded movies and music may be the focus of government and financial efforts against piracy, unlicensed software piracy and license misuse run rampant as well, and its prevalence shifts from country to country.

According to the V.i Labs report, which analyzed customer data from its CodeArmor Intelligence software usage-tracking platform, the countries with the highest number of machines running unlicensed software this year were China, Russia and the United States, respectively.

The Poisoning of Our Minds

The Poisoning of Our Minds | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
I watch the killing that’s taking place around the world and ask myself why?


How can someone be so intolerant that they can kill another person over their beliefs? How can someone be so angry that they’re willing to take the life of an innocent child to advance a cause? How can someone be so confused that they refuse to honor and value a life?


There’s no simple answer to the horrific crisis that we face, but I’m convinced that a contributing factor is the poisoning of our minds.

We are bombarded with hatred, intolerance, and violence every day. The entertainment industry incorporates hate, intolerance, and violence into movies, music, comedy routines, and video games in order to increase sales.


The news media hypes violence to boost television ratings. Politicians appeal to our dark side to win votes. These acts are desensitizing our personal values, polluting our minds, and corroding our culture.


While violent and hateful stimulation do not affect everyone, repetitive, negative stimulation may confuse an already deranged mind and cause that mind to snap — just as steel may break if bombarded continually at its weakest spot.

Curiosity Prepares the Brain for Better Learning

Curiosity Prepares the Brain for Better Learning | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
A new study from the University of California, Davis, suggests that when our curiosity is piqued, changes in the brain ready us to learn not only about the subject at hand, but incidental information, too.

Hack4Kids: Kinder begeistern sich fürs Programmieren | Coding | Luxembourg

Hack4Kids: Kinder begeistern sich fürs Programmieren | Coding | Luxembourg | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Im Rahmen der EU Code Week fand am 19. Oktober im „Tramsschapp“ auf Limpertsberg die erste Hack4Kids statt. Innerhalb weniger Tage war das allererste nationale Coding-Event für Kinder von 7 bis 12 Jahre ausgebucht. In verschiedenen Workshops begeisterten sich die Kids vor allem fürs Programmieren, erhielten Einblick in die Technik der 3D-Printer und entdeckten wie man IT auch künstlerisch kreativ einsetzen kann.  Weitere Veranstaltungen sind geplant; die zweite hack4kids am 14. Dezember ist bereits ausgebucht.

The reality of the eSkills agenda - ePlatform for Adult Learning in Europe


No one can doubt that reducing the digital divide is a key priority for the EU. The sheer volume of initiatives which involve this objective – such as the 'Digital Agenda for Europe', 'an Agenda for New Skills and Jobs', Europe 2020 flagships, the communications on 'Opening up Education' and on employment 'Towards a job-rich recovery', the 'Grand Coalition for Digital Jobs' –are a testament to this commitment (see figure)

A Promise Is a Promise

A Promise Is a Promise | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
Promise to Tell the Whole Truth

A promise is a promise. Some folks apply a rating scale, believing that breaking a big promise is inexcusable, while a small one is acceptable. That’s simply false. While breaking a big promise, such as failing to repay borrowed money, can torpedo a relationship, reneging on promises, such as being on time, casts doubt on future behavior.

Remember, trust is built through a series of experiences shared with others. When behavior is consistent, faith in the relationship develops. When promises are broken or people are misled, the bonds of trust are breached.

Broken promises imply that the offenders either didn’t think before making the promises, or don’t care that they’ve let you down. They’re also implying that their needs are more important than yours. So, be careful about the promises that you make and with whom you make them.
