Cyber crime ATM

"Global cyber, ATM heist nets thieves $45 million from 26 counties" In the year 2013 a network of many different thieves stole a total of $45 million from ATM'S in 26 different countries. In New York City the thieves stole $2.8 million alone. The thieves netted $40 million in just 10 hours. They stole debit card information from databases and use to create fake cards that were masked as real ones and then foot soldiers went out to ATM'S and stole as much as they could. The thieves were doing this simply to get rich because after they had their wallets full they posted flashy pictures of designer items, piles of cash and such to social media. Obviously on their part that was a stupid move and the FBI are looking for posts like that get their suspects. They eventually got 8 suspects and put them in prison. But this was one of the biggest ATM heists ever and they did get away with a lot of money. ATM's I feel need to more secure because there are a lot of ATM breaches and people using skimmers and videos to record people's pins and such which allows them to steal. But ATM's need to get more secure so things like this can be prevented and people feel safe using them. 

MIT App Inventor

The MIT app inventor is a great tool to play with and gain basic knowledge on building apps. I found it useful actually because this was the first time using it and it showed us how to make apps even if they were basic ones you can make them better over time. I think we should use the app inventor definitely in intro and advanced to learn about building apps and and playing with it to make your own. I think we should also use it an AP but we could go for some of the more complex apps and and even make some good games with it. Overall I really liked and enjoyed it, I don't think we should not include it because its good to get knowledge on understanding how app making works.

MIT 10 Things We Should Know About

I totally agree with this article and yes these are things we should know it really benefits all of us. We are moving into an age where technology is related to everything and new innovations and ideas are always coming out so we as humans should also be updating ourselves to adapt to new ways because it will only benefit us in the future. Machine learning I thought was really the biggest one because this is something huge all the new products are coming out with AI and things like that but one day will there be computers that can do better than humans at jobs and things, it's really interesting. Self tracking is another good one to think about all this data that is being consumed from our lives and what we do and we want privacy as well but how do we know where all this info is going and who will be using it or seeing it. Metadata was also very interesting because the hidden infrastructure is really alot of things people don't look at or know whats actually going on underneath. All of the 10 topics were really good and overall I enjoyed and agreed with this article and what they were saying.
