Although the transformation of the planet has contributed to substantial net gains in human wellbeing, the costs associated with these gains are only recently becoming apparent: the MA (Millennium Ecosystem Assessment 2005, see references for website link) assessed the state of “ecosystem services”, which are services that ecosystems provide to humans. Approximately 60% of the ecosystem services examined, ranging from regulation of air quality to reduction of natural disasters, are being … by the MA. Arguing from the “health side” of the problem, the World Health Organisation (WHO) also realises the important place ecosystems take amongst other environmental factors influencing human health (World Health Organization 2015, see below for website link).

Imagine the power of this – it’s a serious threat to democracy.” “You have some really quite mad ideas and media that start out on the darker fringes of the web, like 4chan or Reddit.

This begs the question of why humans are responsible for such breaches and what makes them the key targets for attackers. A recent webinar by Lorrie Cranor , a professor of computer science and Engineering & public Policy at Carnegie Mellon University, on the topic of the ‘Human side of Cybersecurity’ went into depth on the human element in cybersecurity, specifically in reference … 2: Adding ‘!’ to your password makes it more secure (e.g., ‘password!’, ‘iloveoyou1’) Adding an ‘!’ to your password is a common strategy that users adopt to create strong passwords. The reason behind such attraction to this symbol has to do with website feedback, especially when websites tell users (during the creation of their password) to try and add a symbol.
