I’m CTO at the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (@icij.org) where I build interactive stories, data driven investigations and tools. #PandoraPapers #UberFiles #FinCENFiles #LuandaLeaks and many more.

* Stay on top of updates. Similar spyware campaigns have targeted journalists, and we expect this trend will persist. Highly targeted tools risk exposure to security researchers and are therefore used sparingly by governments around the world that want to preserve their capabilities. What this means for most people is that these attacks are extremely rare, and you’re far more likely to experience simpler forms of malware. Those can be mitigated by downloading your updates as soon as possible. Check out our Senior Digital Security Trainer David Huerta’s post on why software updates are so important. * Apple users, try Lockdown Mode. We’ve been seeing early signs that Apple’s Lockdown Mode has blocked targeted malware. If you feel you are at elevated risk, enable this setting to harden your security on macOS, iPhones, and even iPads. This will change the functionality of your devices somewhat, and may block certain text messages and graphics on websites, so it’s not seamless. It has seams. But for me, it feels very close to normal functionality on an iPhone and is a worthy trade. Try it out and see how it works for you. Learn more here. * Android users, try Advanced Protection. This is essentially Google’s answer to Lockdown Mode. You’ll need Android 16 to enable this feature, so as always, pull down your software updates. Learn more about getting started from our friends at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. * Look for the helpers. If you suspect your device has been infected, contact Access Now’s 24/7 Digital Security Helpline for assistance from security researchers who can help investigate these attacks.

Bar chart titled "Countries report $1.3 billion recovered after the Panama Papers" shows amounts recovered by governments. Top five countries are: United Kingdom ($252.8M), Sweden ($237.2M), France ($208.5M), Spain ($175.3M) and Germany ($87.4M).
Journalists offer a unique perspective on digital trust issues defining our times. They are at the frontline of emerging technology-driven trends like deepfakes and cyberattacks, documenting them and their impacts for the public record. Furthermore, journalists operate in a field where cybersecurity, data privacy, and information trustworthiness are crucial to their work-from protecting themselves and their sources, to verifying the authenticity of materials. Thus, journalists' field experience and frontline insights are invaluable to the academic community, as they provide a real-world context that can significantly enhance our discussions and guide our research agendas. The discussion, Journalism in the Era of AI and Cyber Threats, will bring together global perspectives on digital trust and trust-building technologies at the intersection of research and journalism. Key topics will include issues such as the use of AI in military operations, AI-generated disinformation and elections, cybersecurity of IoT, citizen surveillance, algorithmic decision-making, and more.
