england, and the country's biggest fortification, though the castle. —— dover castle. this week, this castle is mine. like every other home in the land, it needs to be well defended, because these days, it is co nsta ntly defended, because these days, it is constantly under attack. the walls make it out burglars, but today's digital invader can worm its way in through the smallest gaps. last week's global cyber attack on companies in around 150 countries shows just how vulnerable systems can be, even if you are not called into clicking dodgy links. so this week, we are looking at
1:32 am
cybersecurity. it is me versus the bad guys out there. and they might be small, but there are a lot of them. so what can i do to shore up my defences? 0ne them. so what can i do to shore up my defences? one thing is to use biometrics. gadgets already recognise our fingerprint, and biometrics. gadgets already recognise ourfingerprint, and now banks are starting to use our voices. so how secure is it? is it possible, for example, to pick somebody‘s boys? we asked dan simmons to find the one person who mightfind a simmons to find the one person who might find a way to break in. —— voice. 0ne might find a way to break in. —— voice. one of the things that you might know about me is that i am one of the only members of the click tea m of the only members of the click team to have it when brother. we. but i can at first, and he do is copy b. this report, he will try to copy b. this report, he will try to copy me as we try to break into a
1:33 am
bank. —— he came out first. but all he tried to do is copy me. we think this guys go to help us. —— going to help us. all right, nice to meet you. what we will do first, is i have this analysis tool here. and what this will do is just attacked, first of all, the pitch of your voice. this system you tried to break in is analysing your voice in lots of different ways. so there will be about 100 different variables it is picking up on. hello, i would like to access my account... hello, iwould hello, i would like to access my account... hello, i would like hello, i would like to access my account... hello, iwould like to access my account today. you can see pretty big differences. who do you think is the bigger adam's apple?” can't see mine. yes, yes, yes... i
1:34 am
wa nted can't see mine. yes, yes, yes... i wanted to know they can get withdrawal, please. hi, iwould like to make a withdrawal. you'll get excited. that is what is go to happen. yes, and that your voice... it is simple! just need to go slower... it is the first time i tried to use the telephone banking service, and i are not set up. sol am hoping... that was not the exactly so that the first time.” would like to take everything out today please. i would like take everything out today please. i would like to take everything out today please. that is... that is not true.

excellent, that is brilliant. the he very much. —— thank you very much. what a uterus like that for? well, we are doing a job, aren't we? —— what are you dressed like that for. erica is the voice of nice, at the security company for citibank, amongst others. he is going to try to break into my account, what chance you videos? very slim. what advice can you give me? well, you have known him your entire life, so try to imitate his voice. you seem competent. what makes you think you can't break into my account? this is
1:36 am
the most accurate form of identification there is for financial institutions. why? it registers over 100 different characteristic or voice. harvard personality, and other physical. and you do look a little bit different, and your voices are different, so you will have vocal characteristics. —— half of them are personality. what percentage shares you think i have, then? it would be one out of several 100 thousand. how can you make it so that i can access my account, even though i have a little bit of a cough? as i said, there are are about 100 characteristic. a cough or cold only affects about two. we can use the other characteristics rode dedication. has anybody fool the system through the front door? basically bikini to be somebody they are not? no. can i asked another question? it might be asked another question? it might be a bit out the ballpark, but this legal? with the niceties out of the
1:37 am
way, i got to work giving the system a sample of my voice. by speaking to it. i know that there might be people who might try to access my account, perhaps, ceuta be aware of that. a gate, you are? ok. whilejoe kept himself busy. —— 0k. —— so you need to be aware of that. iam break i am break into the account of dan simmons. you do not need the gun. what do i have to do? letmake this a shot. 0k. .. hello,
1:38 am
what do i have to do? letmake this a shot. 0k... hello, iwould like to access shot. 0k... hello, iwould like to a ccess my shot. 0k... hello, iwould like to access my current account, if i can? —— let's give this a shot. yes, it is probably about £10, something like that. thank you very much. that is great. thank you. you failed. but close. if we come over here, it you can see the level, and that is pretty close. that was not a bad first go. first go, very good. it came out of absolutely no way! that is how you test the system, isn't it? that is how we test the system. we tested with twins and siblings and imitators. a fraudster would not get very gentle. and the recently fraudster would not get three cancers is that we would register the failures, and that it would increase the threshold on the third and put a flag on the account. —— a
1:39 am
fraudster would not get a third chance. and the reason the fraudster would not get three cancers is that we would register the failures. so your bank account is safe, even though your twin got away with political stationery. were you surprised that it worked so well? —— some critical stationery. yes, we use the voice coach and everything, just bubbled under what we needed and couldn't get through. what about the simplest that we have been asked banks in the last few years, including my voice is my password, did you use that? we did have a go. to get into my account, my twin needs my coat and my account number, things i have held outwith. he also needs to know my birthday, but that is probably something he already knows. the question is, can my voiceprint give me any extra protection? we are not getting any

bank names away... welcome to hsbc. please give us your code. 0h. endlessly, it is the pin number and the account number. if you are the days from the old chapel, both of those things used to be printed objects. —— interestingly. —— printed on that. he knows my data both because we share the same date of birth. after the tone, please voice your password. my voice is my password. —— the old chequebook. please repeat the phrase, my voice is my password. my voice is my password. welcome to hsbc advanced.

the balance of your account is £1 21p credit. i'm off to the bank. i thought it would be more than that, dan. my eviltwin thought it would be more than that, dan. my evil twin was in. thought it would be more than that, dan. my eviltwin was in. more surprising when you consider the service providers' test their systems with twins to work on security. hsbc told us... —— more surprising when you consider the service providers test their systems with twins to work on security. sojoe so joe actually sojoe actually did break into your real bank account? yes, my real bank account. so in this padilla case, that would not be a great defence. you need to remember here is my twin, and not many people have one of those. —— so in this particular
1:42 am
case. so we have of those. —— so in this particular case. so we have seen of those. —— so in this particular case. so we have seen people doing things and being fought like we have by boat show pictures.” things and being fought like we have by boat show pictures. i don't think that will work. -- photoshop. i am thinking caroline byrne. yes, the crown jewels. first off, thinking caroline byrne. yes, the crownjewels. first off, i need to record dan's voice, so i caught after work, discussing his big break in. next, isent after work, discussing his big break in. next, i sent the recording to a voice mimicking outfit called lyrebird. i am not a robot. not bad, in fact, i have to say, great, the best. we are working with research is to figure out what is the best way. this is one of the reasons we
1:43 am
have not published to the public debt. developers hope that the technology could be used to give people their voice back after illness or accident. they are aware that it could be used to bake a voice identification. it is a scary application. 0ne voice identification. it is a scary application. one idea we are considering is to mark the audio samples that we produce. so we are able to detect immediately if it was generated by us. so they are not quite ready to help you. close, but no luck. the banks have come up with something new, that even if you have something new, that even if you have some of these details, the fingerprint, you could even typically replicate their voiceprint and still not be get in. all right? and i know, because i have tried to hack in. major security no no man

works at an undisclosed bank institution. what has he been innovating? just watch the way he uses innovating? just watch the way he uses his phone, because the security system is doing just that. and even with all his login details, i will need to replicate how he holds, taps, and tilts his device. chris. would you mind lending me that for a moment? no luck. it has beaten me. cyber security headlines this week

is not looking good out there. i have retired to the inner sanctum, dover castle was continuously defended for 900 years right up until the 1950s it was a really successful defence. i wonder whether oui’ successful defence. i wonder whether our homes these days are more vulnerable, especially since we are filling them with more and more connected devices. the internet of things. this is the family room at the heart of the castle, where the lord and his family could relax with some pretty thick walls. the king could unwind with a game of chess. in the 13th century they did not have the internet of things, but they still had things. so how do we
1:48 am
make iot more secure. ken munro is my dinner guest, we keep hearing about these connected devices continually being hacked. why is it so continually being hacked. why is it so hard for manufacturers to make them more secure? it is not hard. it just needs some thought, some effort and sometimes spent doing it right. the manufacturer of iot thing is trained to get the market —— get it to market, and if someone comprises their security, do they carry on shipping ordered a comp at us as consumers? i would hope that security is getting better year—on—year with these things.” don't think so. i think it is getting worse. everyone is piling into the market, everyone wants to jump into the market, everyone wants to jump on the bandwagon, doing cheaper products with less security and it seems like we are buying it. don't worry about that, it's fine. just give me a hand with this...
1:49 am
thanks. in here i have got some iot devices. here is one that i really like the look of. this is my wi—fi doorbell. read idea. it sends an image of what is going on at your door to your phone, fantastic idea. except you can look at the door, press this button and it will give you your wi—fi key, so you can hack the customers network. 0k, right. it begins belief. another one i love talking about, here we are in a castle, this is a smart door lock. so you can lock your door from your phone. it also looks up with voice control. so with amazon eco, you can say "locker door". it doesn't do anything silly like unlock door, u nless anything silly like unlock door, unless you look at up to siri. you
1:50 am
could actually shout through the window "unlock door", and your door opens. this is a smart thermostat, lots of people have got these, the idea being you can control your heating from your phone when you are on the train home. but we found that actually you can hack them and do crazy things like installed ram somewhere on them. you could hold your heating system to ransom in the middle of the week. ransomware. you can turn people heating off and demand a ransom to turn back on? it seems these gaps in our defences caused by our connected gadgets are proving to be a gift for attackers. now come on, really? a smart casual? what is the problem with a smart casual? —— kettle. what is the problem with a smart casual? -- kettle. you can boil a cuppa from your bed when you wake up. really great idea. but this
1:51 am
early version was not secured properly, you could have outside someone's house, still someone's wi—fi keys from their cattle. someone's house, still someone's wi-fi keys from their cattle. could you maliciously boil water in someone's house? you could steam up their window to your hearts content. this is more secure. i have locked the doors. 0k! right. how can we defend ourselves in our day—to—day if we have a home full of connected devices. most of the toys and things i have shown you have been fixed already. you have to update your mobile app, to the app store, jaguar update. and with the software on your toy, make sure it is up—to—date. the manufacturers may have fixed the bugs. would you buy a connected device for your children? brenkley i wouldn't, i don't think they are safe. —— frankly.
1:52 am
wa nt extra want extra word of advice. i know it is boring, i know it is old hat, but please, please, make sure you have a good strong password on the applet used to talk to your toys. —— on the app that you use. it looks like we have some unwelcome guests. i am going to hand over to some important security could that we should have paid more attention to. ken, it is every gig for himself. —— geek. the recent ra nsomwa re the recent ransomware attack showed that you don't have to be personally targeted to end up being a victim. this first step would have protected you against that and many similar
1:53 am
attempt is to get inside the walls of your castle. one thing he deftly need to do is to update the operating system, a browser and the applications that you use. these these offer flower very competent, they contain bugs and some of these bugs are security vulnerabilities. there are many other ways that we could be making ourselves vulnerable. whether people say, don'tjailbreak devices. used repeatable download applications because without that you are bypassing all the security that has gone into them. at some point you will lose one of your devices, when you set up your device in the first place, just ask it to encrypt your storage. even if you think you have anything of value, your contacts are worth a lot of money to cyber criminals. if you are putting documents that you really don't want other people to see, then i advise not to put them in the cloud.“ other people to see, then i advise not to put them in the cloud. if a website ask you to download something anyone not expecting it, don't do it. protect your family and
1:54 am
your friends, protect your school and the companies you work for, remove that risk. brilliant security tips there, unfortunately i think they have arrived a little bit too late for me. still, there you go. thanks for watching, and i really, really hope that i will see you soon! good morning. quite wet through the small hours in the north and north—east of the uk. quite breezy, especially in the north—east. there are clear spells to be had, and a scattering of showers. with the clear skies
1:55 am
it is turning fresh. 9—10 degrees for major towns and cities. rural spots could get a few degrees lower. a fresh start across the board and still wet through the morning in a large chunk of scotland. some south—western parts will stay dry and largely bright through the morning. northern ireland has a couple of showers through the morning and sunshine. scattered showers in northern england, but a good deal of sunshine as well, especially in manchester and across hull. early showers across wales and the south—west of england. towards the midlands, east anglia and the south—east it's a dry start. a couple of early showers towards east anglia and they aren't far away from the south coast. as we get on through the day we will see showers developing widely across england and wales, northern ireland, scotland. pretty wet into the afternoon. some of them could contain rumbles of thunder and maybe hail. still some spells of sunshine into the afternoon. 17—18 will be the top temperatures in the south—eastern corner. 1a or 15 in the north and west.
1:56 am
there could be some wet weather in inverness, where it will be chilly. the chance of showers elsewhere. in the evening, a lot of the showers fade away from england and wales. maybe eventually they fade away from northern ireland as well, but we keep wet weather to the far north. even that moves away by sunday. again, a fresh start. a good deal of sunshine in the south—east. further north and west, more of a breeze and cloud and at least some rain in northern ireland and western scotland. 14— 15 for glasgow and belfast. 19— 20 in the south—east. dry and bright in arsenal and maybe more cloud towards liverpool and manchester. a quick recap for the weekend — a day of heavy showers for saturday and spells of sunshine. sunday, a much better day. dry for the most part. way fewer showers and warmer as well. that warming trend continues
1:57 am
for some into monday. equally, on monday, with the southerly breeze to the north—west we have this low pressure bringing cloud and some rain and a bit of a breeze. so we will have wetter and windy weather towards the north—west of the uk. to the south—east, very little rainfall and feeling warmer. hello. my name is tom donkin. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. here's our top stories. "a nutjob." how donald trump is said to have described his sacked fbi director to russian officials. he also reportedly said firing him "took the pressure off." the revelations comes as mr trump embarks on his first foreign trip as us president. counting is under way in iran's presidential election after a high turnout forced polling to be extended for several hours. the wikileaks founderjulian assange
