Privacy VS Anonymity VS Security . Whats the difference between them. Check it Out.!

Privacy, Security and Anonymity are common terms used in day to day life by normal people. People use these terms but sometimes get confused between these terms.

Privacy: The terms privacy means when the client and the server both knows about each the but the people in the middle doesn't know what they are sending. " Suppose you want to send the letter  from A to C but the B does not know about the content in the letter is that much secured that it is not read by the mediator.

Security:  The terms Security in normal means keeping your system secure with outer surrounding like web attacks, wireless attacks etc.. from hackers and crackers.

Anonymity:  The terms anonymity means when the client access the services given by the server by keeping his identity anonymous that means the server does not knows about the client. For example the people use TOR browser for keeping their identity anonymous from the internet.

BMW & MIT self-assembly lab envision car interiors with 3D-printed inflatables

In 2016, the BMW VISION NEXT 100 CAR Concept  not only amazed motorheads from around the world but also the technology visionaries at MIT’s self-assembly lab, who are renowned for inventing forward-thinking, experimental materials. with the automobile enhancing the almost definite yet still unpredictable autonomous drive abilities, the interior as well as exterior explored a possible future also. both utilized 4D structures that adapted according to function, performance and aesthetics. fast forward two years and, finally, a material has been created that reflects this vision of morphing surfaces, the first 3D-printer inflatable material, thanks to a collaboration between BMW and the self-assembly lab.

named ‘liquid printed pneumatics’, the object which uses rapid liquid printing  technology   is on display at the V&A museum in london, as part of ‘the future starts here’ exhibition. designboom met with martina starke, head of BMW brand vision and BMW brand design, and skylar tibbits, founder of the self-assembly lab, to discuss this project in depth

truly pushing material boundaries, the inflatable silicone material can self-transform, adapt and morph into any size or shape. every man-made thing is very static but this material shows how MIT self Assembly lab is trying to change that preconception. it enhances technologies from soft robotics, where pneumatic controls allow its structure, which consists of seven independent chambers, to vary in not only form but also function and stiffness. this is depending on the amount of air pressure in the system, expanding from complete flatness to bulky sizes.

the material development started as a cross-disciplinary study in 2016, following advancements made with the self-assembly lab’s Project with Steelcase where they invented a method of rapidly and freely printing objects whilst suspended in gel and therefore being unaffected by gravity. going a step further, the lab – together with BMW – achieved a breakthrough when they managed to liquid print air and water-tight inflatable geometries. these can include complex channels and pockets that self-transform, while being only limited in size by the volume of tank. this is in complete contrast to the traditional manufacturing methods of inflatables, which typically includes expensive moulds and limited material properties.

during a factory visit to BMW’s plant in germany, skylar was fascinated by the uniqueness of each step in the process of making a car seat. he thought: ‘can we create an element that can be multiple things but made as one object?’. the result is the printed inflatable material, which, according to both BMW and the self-assembly lab, hints at a concept where car interiors will be able to interact and adapt in the future. they imagine the material to become a solution in seats, where it can provide adaptive support, comfort and massages, as well as being used for impact performance such as airbags. although still very much experimental, the collaborators see this as a step into the future, one that moves away from the typical understandings of automotive design.

Electromagnetic Luggage case defines BMW Motorrad Concept 9cento

tting in both style and performance from the streets of munich to the shores of lake como, as well as the mountainous paths in between, the BMW  motorrad ‘concept 9cento’ represents two motercycling worlds on two-wheels. with its world debut at the concorso deligent  2018, where designboom was exclusively present, the design challenges conventions, even to the point where its innovative luggage system takes center stage.

by being able to remove the luggage system on and off, it not only changes the practicality of the motorbike but also the look and feel. it represents two worlds in one concept,’ explains andreas martin, designer of the BMW motorrad ‘concept 9cento’. the design showcases how a focus on functionality does not need to compromise on coolness. the super lightweight case, which features two side compartments, clips on via a hook above the rear carrier and a powerful electromagnet below. furthermore, when attached, it extends the seating area for a second passenger

the innovative storage space highlights the bike’s balancing act to become a dream touring concept. ‘when the rider arrives at the hotel after a day of touring, the case can simply be detached and becomes a cool luggage bag – it is very fashionable,’ states edgar heinrich, head of design at BMW motorrad. the piece, when attached, only further extends the design’s sporty configuration with a short, high rear that contrasts with the compact front. at the same time, its striking style reflects the same definitively sculpted body of the frame, fairing and fuel tank.

the floating panels create a controlled air stream through its gap. this enabled a smaller windscreen to be used, which, overall, helped keep the design small and nimble,’ adds heinrich. the design details, whether in assistance to aerodynamics or just for pure emotion, ensures the motorcycle is defined by an adventurous, agile and fun spirit at first glance. striking additions of bright orange branding and even an electric blue spring adds to this appearance. at the same time, these contrast with the matte seat, reflective chrome body and the intricately milled aluminum central tank cover, rear carrier and footrest holders, which groove in direction towards the front.

although as a bike that dismisses the typical standards of concepts, the ‘concept 9cento’ is clearly BMW. ‘it has these very iconic headlights, on the front and the rear. these are very progressive, very out there, but the features unify our designs,’ continues heinrich. however, ‘the concept has taken the best elements from different segments, such as adventure and touring, and combined them,’ concludes martin. the balanced bike envisions a new middle class that, no matter the location or function, fits perfectly. by including an existing chassis and engine, a variant of the ‘concept 9cento’ or even its luggage system might reach BMW motorrad’s touring segment production very soon.

Two Custom BMW Motorcycles debut at wheels and waves festival 2018

one with a black-bathed over body, the other converted as a scrambler; two custom motercycle, which debuted at the 2018 wheels and waves festival, are completely dissimilar apart from being based on old BMW motorrads. the festival, held in biarritz, france, is a cross-over celebration of both motorbiking and surfing. as these adrenaline junkies unite, exquisite designs are showcased, including the ‘black phantom’ by kingston custom and the ‘coyote’ by fuel motorcycles.

said to be a ‘tough nut for rough terrain‘, the fule motercycle’ ‘coyote’ is a bespoke BMW ‘R nine T urban G/S’ conversion that was inspired by the namesake animal, as well as an ambition to replicate bikes from the 1950s that travelled across the deserts of the american west. as such, it features a raised exhaust, an engine guard and a high seat, which is upholstered in natural and suede leather. significantly, a smaller, lighter tank was needed and so an old one from a suzuki ‘GT 250’ was modified to fit.

following the ‘white phantom’ in 2017, the kingston costam ‘black phantom’ motorcycle is set to make waves on its unveiling at the festival. beneath its black body, it is based on a BMW ‘R75’ added to with original parts from the brand between 1951 to 1979. ‘I wanted to build a bike that showed that no high-end technology is needed to create something special,’ says dirk oehlerking. the truly handmade project did not include any welding, flexing or drilling to its frame.

Singapore's Largest Healthcare Group Hacked, 1.5 Million Patient Records Stolen. Check it Out.!

Singapore's largest healthcare group, SingHealth, has suffered a massive data breach that allowed hackers to snatch personal information on 1.5 million patients who visited SingHealth clinics between May 2015 and July 2018.

SingHealth is the largest healthcare group in Singapore with 2 tertiary hospitals, 5 national specialty , and eight polyclinics.

According to an advisory released by Singapore's Ministry of Health (MOH), along with the personal data, hackers also managed to stole 'information on the outpatient dispensed medicines' of about 160,000 patients, including Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, and few ministers.


The Ministry of Health said the hackers "specifically and repeatedly" targeted the PM's "personal particulars and information on his outpatient dispensed medicine."

So far there's no evidence of who was behind the attack, but the MOH stated that the cyber attack was "not the work of casual hackers or criminal gangs." The local media is also speculating that the hack could be a work of state-sponsored hackers.

Investigations by the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) and the Integrated Health Information System (IHiS) also confirmed that "this was a deliberate, targeted, and well-planned cyberattack."

PM Comments On SingHealth Healthcare Data Breach

Commenting on the cyber attack through a Facebook post published today, Singapore's Prime Minister said he believes that the attackers are "extremely skilled and determined" and they have "huge resources" to conduct such cyber attacks repeatedly. The Singapore government has assured its citizens that no medical records were tampered, or deleted and that no diagnoses, test results, or doctors' notes were stolen in the attack.


All affected patients will be contacted by the healthcare institution over the next five days.

Since the healthcare sector is part of the critical nation's infrastructure, alongside water, electricity, and transport, it has increasingly become an attractive target for hackers.

In the past few years, we have reported several hacks and data breaches, targeting the healthcare sector. Just last month, it was revealed that DNA registries of more than 92 million MyHeritage customers were stolen in the previous year by some unknown hackers.

Earlier this year, it was reported that more than half of Norway's population exposed its healthcare data in a massive data breach that targeted the country's major healthcare organization.

The foremost thing to protect against any data breach is to stay vigilant, as nobody knows when or where your stolen identities will be used. So, affected consumers will just have to remain mindful

SADD.IO .. A better alternative for VPN. Check it !!

From an anonymity and privacy standpoint, how could an outside entity such as the government identify a specific VPN user? If the government sent out a subpoena to the VPN providers to obtain the crypto-keys to decrypt internet traffic or request logs to view user activity, would the VPN providers dispense that information? Does the VPN store personally identifying information (PII) of its users?

From a security standpoint, will the VPN help prevent malicious actors from infecting user machines? These are some important questions that users should ask before determining that a VPN would keep them “safe” on the Internet.

So is there a better solution than a VPN lying around somewhere?

Yes, the new Internet Anonymity and Privacy startup SADD.IO gets the job done.

What is SADD.IO?

SADD: Scalable Anonymous Disposable Desktops or simply put SADD.IO, is a free web-based product that allows users to anonymously control self-disposing, Tor routed desktops through their web browser.

Users do not have to enter any personal information about themselves to use this service. Nor do users have to download any external programs. SADD.IO is accessible from your phone, laptop, iPad, you name it.

How does it work?

When a user navigates to the SADD.IO website and clicks the “Try for Free” or “Use Premium” button, a Virtual Machine (VM) or desktop is generated and routed through Tor. The user is then able to control this desktop as if it were their own computer. At the end of the user session the Virtual Machine is forensically destroyed.

How does this help with Anonymity, Privacy, and Security?

Anonymity-

SADD.IO keeps users anonymous by utilizing the Tor network. There is no way for an outside entity to use IP addresses to identify the user. The outside entity would have to break Tor in order to obtain the IP address of the SADD.IO server, VERY difficult to do.

Privacy-

All generated desktops have a time-limit. When the time-limit expires, the generated desktop is destroyed byte-by-byte. Not to mention that there are safety triggers in place that cause the SADD.IO servers to destroy all generated desktops. So if the servers are ever raided, users do not have to worry about an entity observing what was done on the desktops.

Security-

This is simple, as the generated desktops are basically computers away from the users’ host machine. If the generated desktops are ever infected or corrupted, users can easily generate another desktop to start on a clean slate.

Vulnerabilities on Tor browser while using the generated desktops will not return the User’s IP address. Instead a Tor IP address will be returned as the entire desktop is routed through Tor.
There are no DNS leaks.
