The Electoral Commission in France acknowledged a hack that exposed the information of registered voters, but the impact on voting results is said to be minimal. Unauthorized drones are a major concern at the upcoming Paris Olympics, as they could cause panic and potentially lead to dangerous situations.

    Sponsored: John Ainsworth on digital trust

    When social distancing guidelines went into effect across the United States, credit unions responded by closing or limiting access to lobbies and reducing the number of employees working in branches.

    As a result, many credit unions became digital-first entities almost overnight—encouraging members to use virtual channels to access their accounts and services. In this environment, the concept of digital trust has come to the forefront for many credit unions.

    John Ainsworth, president and chief executive officer of CULedger, joins the CUNA News Podcast to discuss building digital trust with members, implementing enhanced security features like decentralized identities, and anticipating how these technologies will continue to evolve.

    Ainsworth also explains how joining CULedger's MemberPass Trust Registry™ and getting familiar with new guidance from the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council are good first steps for credit unions to start building secure, trusted digital relationships with members.

    We often focus our fear in the wrong direction -- developing flying anxieties when we should be more concerned about that ride to the airport. We also tend to focus on autonomous weapons when we should be thinking more about autonomous CYBER weapons. Join Robert Lamb and Joe McCormick for a discussion of cyber warfare.
