How many of you are still relying on Cloud-based apps & services to protect your communications or to secure your confidential data?
Do you really trust an entity built upon unknown computer servers stored in unknown locations with unknown developers having full access to them?

Is it really “fully encrypted” if it’s built & run by outsourced developers somewhere out there … ? Is your smartphone app really secure?
Really? 🤔

A major AI training data set contains millions of examples of personal data
Personally identifiable information has been found in DataComp CommonPool, one of the largest open-source data sets used to train image generation models.
Millions of images of passports, credit cards, birth certificates, and other documents containing personally identifiable information are likely included in one of the biggest open-source AI training sets, new research has found.
Thousands of images—including identifiable faces—were found in a small subset of DataComp CommonPool, a major AI training set for image generation scraped from the web. Because the researchers audited just 0.1% of CommonPool’s data, they estimate that the real number of images containing personally identifiable information, including faces and identity documents, is in the hundreds of millions. The study that details the breach was published on arXiv earlier this month.
The bottom line, says William Agnew, a postdoctoral fellow in AI ethics at Carnegie Mellon University and one of the coauthors, is that “anything you put online can [be] and probably has been scraped.”
The researchers found thousands of instances of validated identity documents—including images of credit cards, driver’s licenses, passports, and birth certificates—as well as over 800 validated job application documents (including résumés and cover letters), which were confirmed through LinkedIn and other web searches as being associated with real people. (In many more cases, the researchers did not have time to validate the documents or were unable to because of issues like image clarity.)
Having LOCAL control of one’s own data in one’s own network is superior to using “The Cloud” simply for the fact that allowing your control over your data to be accessible (and thus controllable) by unknown admins in unknown data centers is allowing an immutable vulnerability to be injected directly into the heart of your system.
What is “The Cloud”?
Someone else’s computers somewhere else, with someone else having unlimited access and control of them. ReconComputing.comOurWeb.io

The FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) on June 30 said that almost $15 billion was reported in losses in the “largest health care fraud” investigation in U.S. history, with officials charging more than 300 people in connection with the alleged scheme.
In a post on social media platform X, FBI Director Kash Patel wrote that $14.6 billion in losses were incurred, while $245 million was seized, as FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said in a separate post on X that hundreds of people were charged in the case.
“Public corruption will not be tolerated as the Director and I vigorously pursue bad actors who violated their oaths to all of us,” Bongino said, describing the case as the “largest healthcare fraud investigation” in the country’s history.
