UK: Palantir break clause


Cross party committee of MPs has just officially recommended that the government trigger the break clause in #Palantir's #NHS contract. The report states:

⚠️"Palantir’s increasing presence across the public sector represents an unacceptable point of weakness"

⚠️"The government's digital transformation ambitions could be derailed at any time by a decision taken outside our shores based on the narrow interests of a foreign commercial or state actor"

⚠️"Palantir will follow their #commercial self-interests in attempting to burrow so deep into the NHS that they cannot be #migrated away from"

⚠️"Of the small number of technology providers that the UK public sector relies upon, Palantir concerns us most"

Sounds like a valuable event teaching some #digital #security lessons. Happening in couple days (June 20th) put on by the local #queens #Mutual_Aid group. #nyc #swma



Following on from that, NIST guidelines recommend:

❌ DON'T enforce complexity (upper, lower, numbers, special chars)
✅ Instead, DO require 8 chars minimum, and up to 64 at least
✅ Also, allow _any_ characters (space, apostrophe, etc.)
❌ DON'T force users to change passwords regularly; then they just add incrementing numbers at the end and it doesn't help security
✅ But DO block passwords/patterns (qwerty, asdfasdf, etc.)

Which reminds me. I occasionally shop at #Ocado and have never had a problem with the process... except the other day I could no longer get the 'login' button to 'stay depressed'. After spotting some 'interesting' traffic I tried (temporarily) relaxing my firewall rules wrt certain g00gle domains and, et voila, all was 'normal'.
