MyBook Terms Of Service – How To Get Consent From Readers
MyBook’s Terms Of Service require us to get consent from readers before publishing their personal details.
In January, the authors of the book MyBook used a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows to gain access to their private data. That data was encrypted using the strong cipher AES which meant it could only be read by the owner of the book. A researcher known as Zhejiang Zhang discovered the flaw.
“I discovered a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows that let a hacker gain access to my book data,” Zhejiang Zhang wrote in his blog. “In many of the security testing articles I read, they claim Windows has a pretty good defense against this type of attack, and that the hackers will be unable to crack the encryption and data on the machine. However, I have found that the Windows itself is actually much more vulnerable to this kind of attack than I was lead to believe.
Zhang discovered his own book data, including the name, the ISBN, the pages, and the authors’ names and addresses, was exposed. “MyBook is an English translation of an Italian children’s book written by Italian author Piero Sraffa,” Zhang wrote in his blog. “Since its publication, the book has been very popular in Italy. ” The book he is talking about is The King, which is also the title of a popular children’s book by Sraffa.
The flaw that was exposed in Windows allows an attacker to steal data such as the book’s title, the authors’ names, the ISBN, and any information stored in the book.
“The book contains sensitive contents, such as the authors’ names, book title, ISBN and pages, which were encrypted,” Zhang wrote. “Because of that, I had no choice to encrypt the data on my computer. When I downloaded my book for purchase from Amazon, the data I had was encrypted and stored in my computer until I paid for it.
“For years, I have been using MyBook as a reference book and it is widely used by many people,” he continued.
Western Digital, My Cloud, and My Book Live
Western Digital is a leading computer manufacturer in the United States. Western Digital does not own any intellectual property rights and does not make intellectual property products. Western Digital may have intellectual property rights in some of the software it licenses from its customers.
Western Digital uses My Cloud, an online service that provides free hosting for My Book Live and other My Book Live content. My Cloud is hosted by a third-party provider and operated by My Book Live. On November 5, 2018, My Book Live announced that My Cloud was one of the top-ranked services at the time of its release, earning the “Top 10” ranking in Amazon’s cloud rankings.
Western Digital acquired My Cloud in July 2018. Western Digital is still running the service, but My Cloud customers are no longer allowed to access My Book Live using a secure channel.
Western Digital currently does not track online advertising and tracking is not allowed on the service. A user account may be created by customers with permission granted by My Book Live, and then data can be shared over the Internet after receiving a valid consent for processing. The company says that all parties involved are “working closely with content publishers to ensure compliance with their data protection policies.
The company also says that “any usage or storage of data collected is done strictly in accordance with our privacy policy” and that “the only people who can get access to content are users who signed up with MyBookLives” account or the user’s authorized agent. That group, not the website owners, has no ability to remove the content.
The company says that My Cloud is “the first official implementation of a technology called Data Shield” (DS). With DS the browser is able to display content that is blocked by web browsers such as Chrome and Firefox. DS is one of the technologies in the “Universal” browser project, which includes Internet Explorer and Safari.
The company says that My Cloud has been in testing since 2016, and it is a “test of a new technology called DS. ” Western Digital does not provide any additional details about this test.

Tip and Tactics for Better Threat Hunting.
Article Title: Tip and Tactics for Better Threat Hunting | Network Security.
In the past few years, the number of attempts made on the internet from computer security attacks increased a lot, and the threats are increasingly difficult to handle. A good defense against these threats requires strong tools and good management, as well as the right knowledge in the right place.
The threats are no longer limited to a single website or a specific piece of malware. Many of the attacks are distributed and can be executed from almost any computer.
Online phishing – a computer in which it is not really necessary to be logged in to make a phishing attempt, since you can type whatever you need in your browser. Many malware and viruses also have these limitations imposed on them. For example, they will only affect a few computers.
Denial of Service attack (DoS) – in which an individual tries to attack a system by injecting a large amount of traffic in small time periods, while doing nothing to damage the system. Such attacks are very effective for attacking big systems.
Ransomware: For example, Microsoft’s “Petya” exploit was the first ransomware attack and spread fast enough so it threatened the company’s network for weeks. The first one which tried to make a good example is “Wannacry” which infected hundreds of computers in 2017.
The other interesting ones are distributed and can even be executed from many places. The first to use it were the hackers who used it in 2016 in the “Russian Locker” campaign, and which is also used in “Dark Market” campaigns, in 2018. In all of these, it tries to extract money from victims, using their private data.
With all of this on your computer and in the browser you are the target of attacks.
When you are targeted, what should you do? The most important step in a defense against these attackers is knowing the attacks you are running and what you can do to avoid the attempts.
The best practice is to use a good antivirus or a system for defending against security threats. But, even with this good tool you need knowledge in the right place and experience in the matter. The best tool is the one you use in the right place and at the right time.
