@inex ❌ In Russia, the classifieds platform Avito has blocked a woman’s account after she used it for messaging during internet outages.

The service explained that the listing titled “Strict cat for friends” violated its rules because it did not offer a real product or service. The woman created it solely as a chat workaround, since Avito is included in the “whitelisted” resources accessible during shutdowns.

ℹ️ Residents of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region have been reporting for the third consecutive day a lack of mobile internet and problems accessing websites and banking services, according to “Current Time.” The “whitelists” have been tested since summer 2025, but even they remain unstable.

Vom "Wheel of Distortion" zum "Wheel of Motion": Nachdem das #BSI anlässlich der #MSC die Herausforderungen in einer Welt zunehmender digitaler Unordnung präsentierte, folgte Ende letzter Woche mit einem "Wheel of Motion" der Blick auf einen strategischen Perspektivwechsel nationaler #Cyberpolicy.

Gegen #Cybercrime setzt das BSI auf mehr Automatisierung, gegen Cyber Conflict auf staatliche #Cyberabwehr, und gegen „Cyber Dominance“ auf mehr #Digitalsouveränität:

The UK is moving toward mandatory proactive detection of nonconsensual intimate images.

Under proposals backed by Keir Starmer, platforms must:
• Remove flagged content within 48 hours
• Prevent reuploads using hash matching
• Deploy proactive detection “at source”
• Face fines up to 10% of global revenue

Regulator Ofcom is accelerating its decision on requiring technical enforcement mechanisms.
Technical considerations:
- Hash collision and false-positive risks
- Cross-platform hash database coordination
- Encryption vs scanning tradeoffs
- Abuse-report automation workflows
- AI-generated image detection accuracy
Is mandatory proactive scanning the future of online content governance?

Non-consensual synthetic imagery is scaling faster than platform controls.

Recent reporting details how AI tools were used to fabricate explicit deepfakes of a public content creator - then monetize them via impersonation accounts.

Researchers documented millions of sexualized AI-generated images in a short timeframe, prompting regulatory investigations across jurisdictions.

From a security and governance standpoint:
• Identity verification failures
• Monetization platform abuse
• Content moderation lag
• Cross-platform amplification
• Enforcement complexity

This is not only a policy issue - it’s an abuse-of-technology issue.

How should AI providers implement friction without crippling innovation?

The UK has opened its first investigation into suspected cyber sanctions breaches, with all known cases linked to financial services firms, according to HM Treasury disclosures.

The move follows expanded OFSI monitoring capabilities, including advanced analytics and cryptocurrency investigation tools, highlighting the operational challenges of tracing cyber-related sanctions violations.

No enforcement outcomes have been announced so far.

💬 From a practitioner’s view, where do cyber sanctions enforcement efforts need to improve?

U.S. authorities, working with Bulgarian law enforcement and Europol, seized three high-traffic piracy domains allegedly distributing unauthorized digital content.

The operation highlights the use of domain seizures, international coordination, and infrastructure disruption as tools against large-scale copyright infringement.

What long-term impact do these takedowns have on digital abuse ecosystems?

California’s privacy authority has restricted a data broker from selling Californians’ personal and health data due to registration and compliance failures.
The case underscores:
• Sensitivity of health-related datasets
• Importance of broker registration frameworks
• Enforcement trends under consumer privacy laws

What impact do you see this having on data brokerage practices?

China has issued draft regulatory measures for public comment addressing AI systems designed for human-like and emotional interaction.

The proposal emphasizes lifecycle responsibility, algorithm governance, data security, personal information protection, and mitigation of psychological risks.

From an information security perspective, this reflects growing attention to how AI design, data handling, and user interaction intersect with digital safety.

What implications could this have for global AI governance standards?

With Chinese diplomats reportedly admitting to targeting US Critical Infrastructure as a "warning to the U.S. about Taiwan" and some in the industry war-gaming the possibility of Cyber Effects being used to sway the Trade dispute between the US and China, now seemed a good time to do a reality check on how - if at all - China would do so.

The bottom line - expect a surge in cyber espionage and signaling campaigns targeting US telcos and leadership to provide the CCP a competitive advantage in negotiations and their backdoor dealings.🕵️

Cyber Security doesn't operate in a vacuum - here's a good example of where geopolitics starts to seep in at the edges: https://opalsec.io/is-cyber-a-legitimate-weapon-in-a-tariff-war/

‚This week, #BAKS is organising the Deutsches Forum Sicherheitspolitik, or German forum Security Policy #DFS2023, and we are happy to partake in some events that talk about different dimensions of #CyberSecurity policy.

Tomorrow SNV's Julia Schütze will hold a background talk on 'How to boost cyber resilience of towns, communities, and cities', discussing how we can develop policies on a #federal level that increase the resilience of IT-systems on the local level.
