So today I'm going to talk about one of the pressing issues of our time. Is it true that our government leaders are actually lizard aliens sent here in human form? And even more importantly, are they the ones responsible for stealing all the car bumpers in Yeravan [laughter] and sending them back to their home planet? I mean, how can you explain this many car bumpers? There's no rational explanation for it. It can't be because of bad driving because I don't know anybody here who has ever passed their drivin ...

TEDx Talks· 2025-12-09 17:28
Cyber Security Threats & Trends - The digital world faces "storms" of dormant malware, hidden backdoors, and evolving phishing campaigns [2] - Cyber attackers operate silently, gathering credentials and exfiltrating information, waiting for the opportune moment to strike [4] - Cyber attacks have evolved from individual hobbyists to organized criminal groups with economic, political, or ideological motives [5] - Artificial intelligence (AI) is being used by attackers to automate attacks more efficiently, reducing compromise time by a factor of ten [19][20] - AI also lowers the barrier to entry for attackers by providing access to expertise and malware creation capabilities, reducing the need for external purchases [20][21] - Attackers are shifting focus to social engineering, using voice cloning technology to impersonate authority figures and trick users into divulging sensitive information [21][22] Incident Response & Recovery - Incident response involves transforming catastrophic events into learning opportunities to foster competence, synergy, and knowledge within an organization [9] - In a real-world case, a company with multi-billion dollar revenue experienced a complete infrastructure shutdown due to encryption [10] - The company had approximately 30 locations worldwide, half of which were production sites, leading to widespread disruption [11] - A compromised production file was partially recovered, allowing for the creation of code to restore production across the company's infrastructure [13][14][15] - Even with production restored, the company was still considered a "survivor" due to the extensive damage to other departments and compromised trust with clients and suppliers [16][17][18] Recommendations & Future Considerations - Individuals should be wary of unverified information sources online due to the potential for disinformation campaigns using manipulated video, audio, and images [26] - It is crucial to educate oneself on the proper use of digital tools and to manage personal and others' data carefully [27] - Individuals should develop critical thinking skills and avoid relying solely on AI-generated responses [29]

Just to start off, I want to propose to you a hypothetical question. I want you to ask yourself, what if everyone in Zambia under the age of 25 could no longer vote? Think of what this means for the coming election cycle, for the future. What type of world will our children be growing up in where they don't have a say until they're 25? Here's the sad reality. We're not that far from the exact same situation. See, now youth turnout in Zambia is so much lower than it should be. When I first started researchin ...

[μουσική] [χειροκρότημα] Γεια σας. Τι όμορφη μέρα σήμερα. Πολλοί θα χάσουν από την πανδημία αυτή τα αγαπημένα τους πρόσωπα, τη δουλειά τους, ακόμη και την αξιοπρέπιά τους. Όταν τελειώσει όμως το κακό, κάποιοι μπορεί να μην επιστρέψουν στην παλιά τους ζωή και να θέσουν νέες προτεραιότητες. Να καταλάβουν ότι το πιο πολύτιμο αγαθό δεν είναι το χρήμα, αλλά ο χρόνος. να προβληματιστούν για τις επιλογές που έκαναν, για τους ανθρώπους που δεν τόλμησαν να αγαπήσουν, για τη ζωή που δεν κατάφεραν να ζήσουν. Ίσως αυτή ...

I wanted to start this TEDex speech with something a little bit unconventional because it is the last speech of the day. So instead of giving what my TEDex speech is going to be about, I want to give more of a reason as to why I'm giving this TEDex speech in the first place. And it all kind of started with a good old-fashioned bowl of Maggie noodles.Now, I know that might sound a little bit unconventional and weird, like I said, but I started my debating journey a few years back, four or five years ago, whe ...
