主持人:本期节目讨论了网络犯罪的演变,以及科学家们对地外生命的探索。网络犯罪的目标已从财务信息转向账户凭证,犯罪手段也更加多样化和复杂化。 Jessica Barker:网络犯罪主要由有组织犯罪集团实施,他们利用各种手段,包括网络钓鱼、电话欺骗和AI技术,来窃取用户信息和金钱。网络犯罪分子会利用受害者的情绪弱点,例如恐惧、焦虑和贪婪,来诱导他们做出错误的决定。此外,他们还会利用技术漏洞和社会工程学来实施攻击。为了保护自己,我们需要采取多种安全措施,例如使用强密码、启用多因素身份验证、定期更新软件和警惕网络钓鱼邮件等。 Lisa Kaltenegger:目前的技术已经可以探测到围绕其他恒星运行的类地行星,未来几年内有望发现地外生命。这项探索不仅关乎我们是否孤独,也关乎我们对自身星球和宇宙的更深入理解。通过对其他行星的研究,我们可以更好地了解地球的形成和演化过程,并为保护地球环境提供新的思路。

We have all been told to be careful when we are online. We need secure passwords, we need to be careful what links we click on – that kind of thing. But have you ever wondered who is behind all the cyber crime that is requiring us to be so careful? How has cyber crime changed? Is there any progress in the fight against it? Joining me to help understand the bigger picture of this huge global threat to all of us who go online is Jessica Barker. She is one of the world’s leading experts on cyber crime and is often seen in the media talking on the topic. She recently received an award (MBE) from Prince William for her service to cyber security. Jessica is author of the book, Hacked: The Secrets Behind Cyber Attacks (https://amzn.to/4cO868z).)

It may sound like science fiction but there are actually scientists exploring outer space (via very advanced telescopes) looking for life on other planets. This search has actually been going on for several years and while they have yet to discover actual evidence of life, what they have discovered is quite amazing. Joining me is one of the people involved in this search for life, Dr. Lisa Kaltenegger Director of the Carl Sagan Institute to Search for Life in the Cosmos at Cornell University where she is also an associate professor of astronomy. In addition, she is author of the book Alien Earths: The New Science of Planet Hunting in the Cosmos (https://amzn.to/3vMH9S1))
