Posted on April 17, 2024 By infossl
A Hacker's Mind, artificial intelligence, laws, LLM, noncomputer hacks, Security technology, Uncategorized

Canadian legislators proposed 19,600 amendments—almost certainly AI-generated—to a bill in an attempt to delay its adoption. I wrote about many different legislative delaying tactics in A Hacker’s Mind, but this is a new one. Powered by WPeMatico

A Hacker’s Mind is Out in Paperback

Posted on February 13, 2024 By infossl
A Hacker's Mind, books, Schneier news, Security technology, Uncategorized

The paperback version of A Hacker’s Mind has just been published. It’s the same book, only a cheaper format. But—and this is the real reason I am posting this—Amazon has significantly discounted the hardcover to $15 to get rid of its stock. This is much cheaper than I am selling it for, and cheaper even … Read More “A Hacker’s Mind is Out in Paperback” »

Online Retail Hack

Posted on November 9, 2023 By infossl
A Hacker's Mind, fraud, hacking, noncomputer hacks, retail, Security technology, Uncategorized

Selling miniature replicas to unsuspecting shoppers: Online marketplaces sell tiny pink cowboy hats. They also sell miniature pencil sharpeners, palm-size kitchen utensils, scaled-down books and camping chairs so small they evoke the Stonehenge scene in “This Is Spinal Tap.” Many of the minuscule objects aren’t clearly advertised. […] But there is no doubt some online … Read More “Online Retail Hack” »

Hacking Scandinavian Alcohol Tax

Posted on October 30, 2023 By infossl
A Hacker's Mind, hacking, noncomputer hacks, Security technology, Uncategorized

The islands of Åland are an important tax hack: Although Åland is part of the Republic of Finland, it has its own autonomous parliament. In areas where Åland has its own legislation, the group of islands essentially operates as an independent nation. This allows Scandinavians to avoid the notoriously high alcohol taxes: Åland is a … Read More “Hacking Scandinavian Alcohol Tax” »

Hacking Food Labeling Laws

A Hacker's Mind, hacking, marketing, Security technology, Uncategorized

This article talks about new Mexican laws about food labeling, and the lengths to which food manufacturers are going to ensure that they are not effective. There are the typical high-pressure lobbying tactics and lawsuits. But there’s also examples of companies hacking the laws: Companies like Coca-Cola and Kraft Heinz have begun designing their products … Read More “Hacking Food Labeling Laws” »

Wisconsin Governor Hacks the Veto Process

Posted on July 10, 2023 By infossl
A Hacker's Mind, hacking, laws, loopholes, Security technology, Uncategorized

In my latest book, A Hacker’s Mind, I wrote about hacks as loophole exploiting. This is a great example: The Wisconsin governor used his line-item veto powers—supposedly unique in their specificity—to change a one-year funding increase into a 400-year funding increase. He took this wording: Section 402. 121.905 (3) (c) 9. of the statues is … Read More “Wisconsin Governor Hacks the Veto Process” »

A Hacker’s Mind will be published on Tuesday. I have done a written interview and a podcast interview about the book. It’s been chosen as a “February 2023 Must-Read Book” by the Next Big Idea Club. And an “Editor’s Pick”—whatever that means—on Amazon. There have been three reviews so far. I am hoping for more. … Read More “A Hacker’s Mind News” »

Kevin Mitnick Hacked California Law in 1983

Posted on January 27, 2023 By infossl
A Hacker's Mind, courts, hacking, Security technology, Uncategorized

Early in his career, Kevin Mitnick successfully hacked California law. He told me the story when he heard about my new book, which he partially recounts his 2012 book, Ghost in the Wires. The setup is that he just discovered that there’s warrant for his arrest by the California Youth Authority, and he’s trying to … Read More “Kevin Mitnick Hacked California Law in 1983” »
