Hello everyone, welcome to podcast 190 of the security box. The big question is here on this week's podcast, and it is: "Is Age Verification legal?"

Besides finding out the answer to this, we'll have the news, the notes and the landscape. Hope you'll enjoy the show as much as we are bringing it to you.



LockbitSupp identified

Huge news coming out of the press in regards to the mastermind of Lockbit. Don't be surprised if you find more coverage, but these are the articles from our sources.


LockBit ransomware admin identified, sanctioned in US, UK, Australia Bleeping Computer
LockBit gang leader exposed in FBI ransomware breakthrough CyberNews
U.S. Charges Russian Man as Boss of LockBit Ransomware Group KrebsOnSecurity
Ransomware mastermind LockBitSupp reveled in his anonymity—now he’s been ID’d Ars Technica


As stated, there may be more than this around the web and the JRN will be blogging two, possibly all three or more if we find them.

In the second, we not only know who he is, but what he's charged with. At the time of writing this in to the show notes, the JRN has not read Brian's article yet and only spotted signs of it on Mastodon as he does.



Other Newsy things from the blog

These items may be braught up as part of the blog and news segment. They are in no particular order.


Are we surprised that TikTok will sue the U.S. Government?
Chinese banks hit again
Jack Dorsey praises Twitter for being “freedom technology”
Fake tech support scams and sponsored search results
The Yahoo boys are people you need to be aware of: Scripts, scams and more await
Notice from Dropbox


There may be others not listed here, and this could be a subset.



Is Age Verification Legal?

This segment may contain adult themes. According to an article that was read and blogged, age verification has been found to be legal. With Coppa in various parts of the world, and sites that need to make sure they're dealing with adults per content law, we think that this is a clear and cut open and closed case. But how do we do this now that most do the bear minimum but yet nothing in place to verify anything entered?

For example, staff that do this show could say they're over age on a site like Live Journal when for example, the mix opened its blog there but yet the mix was not even of age. This could be an example used.

What to read


Age Verification is lawful the technology blog and podcast
Court makes it clear – age verification on adult sites is constitutional Cybernews


What do you think? If this is now the case, how to enforce such provisions that are already in place or adopt and follow new ones?
