  • Inaudible sounds to track you for ads.

    Following the recent debate about ad-technology and how annoying it is and advertisers insight, you may have though it could only get better from there. Turns out, it can be worse if these claims about tracking through inaudible sounds from ads hold true.

    Privacy advocates warn feds about surreptitious cross-device tracking.

    Even though I’d consider this inacceptible from a consumers perspective, I’d be very curious about the (audio) technology and the kind of insight this provides, from a marketing perspective. Just consider a TV-Ad broadcasting this signal to a room full of people, for one the signal would sure be difficult to detect. And then, all devices carry the same cookie, making it difficult to identify individuals…

  • The workstation for the modern office worker.

  • Attribution

    While visiting the “Techdays Munich: Cyber Security“, the hashtag #6wordcyber was trending on Twitter. And during the talk about a new security law, the following tweet caught my eye:

    It is well known in the security community that attribution is hard. Attacks do usually not leave enough evidence to attribute it to a specific group. However, the one reason it really made me think is, because the talk I was listening to was very explicitly avoiding attribution.
