France’s 'Right to Disconnect' Law Isn’t All It’s Cracked Up to Be

Summary

France has opened the way to the need to legislate the disconnection to social uses to protect employees from the labor 'queme'. The reason is for the hyperconnectivity that is invading us without conduct without protocols, without time for us to process its impact. The problem is "anticipatory stress" because being constantly connected to work creates a stress that is not good for the brain or other organs. And this undermines the creativity of people, their capacity for loneliness, their relationships.

Regarding this problem, on January 1, all companies with more than 50 employees must set schedules for connection to mobile phones and Internet, agreeing with the template.

In addition, more than a hundred Catalan municipalities have already adhered to the idea of this disconnection that aims to enable people to recover their life outside of work by creating new job opportunities working from home.

Vocabulary

Undermines: Disminueix

loneliness: Solitud

Watertight: Estanc

Maintain: Mantenir

Opinion

We are in a society that everything is developed through technology. We are many people who are dependent on social networks,and it is more, there are people who have vice of to be in linea on the mobile and can not leave it.

That is why I am in favor of this law that France wants to propose and I believe that it would be necessary to legislate in other countries.

Because disconnecting is good for health.

CYBER-ATTACK: EUROPOL SAYS IT WAS UNPRECEDENTED IN SCALE

SUMMARY

A cyber-attack that hit organisations worldwide including the UK's National Health Service was "unprecedented", Europe's police agency says.

A huge cyber attack has hit computer systems in dozens of countries. The virus called ransomware, affects, among others, the equipment of Telefónica headquarters in Madrid, the British health system or the Russian Interior Ministry.

After installing on the computer, that virus blocks access to the files of the affected computer asking for a rescue to allow access, and can infect other vulnerable computers in the network.

This type of virus appears to be harmless and imitates other applications, is the most common and accounts for 72.75% of malware, malicious attacks, according to the latest reports from companies Kaspersky Lab and PandaLab.

According to Eusebio Nieva, technical director of Check Point in Spain and Portugal, ransomware is the strategy most used to attack large companies. "The hackers ask that the rescue be made through a digital payment that can not be traced," said Nieva.

The expert pointed out that the payment of a ransom is not a guarantee that the information encrypted by the virus can be recovered: "The possibility is between 30% and 40%." It also warns that traditional antivirus programs are no longer enough. The most pointers of protection, according to Nieva, are the anti-APP or sandbouxing programs, which track the behavior of the system or the information network, identify any malicious software and eliminate it. Sandboxing is the one that works best. When a document arrives in the mail, for example, the system opens in a virtual environment and detects something suspicious, deletes it before it reaches the user, "explains the expert.

VOCABULARY

Harmless: inofensivo
Imitates: Imita
Guarantee: garantía
Environment: ambiente

OPINION

What surprises me and I worry is that there are large companies that handle personal data and use Windows as an operating system. Windows is an operating system full of holes, very unsafe. Among the three operating systems that dominate the market (Windows, Linux, MacOS).

They offer us privacy but in reality we do not have it, each time, internet is less reliable.
