Relentless cybersecurity warnings have given people "security fatigue" that stops them keeping themselves safe, suggests a study.
Many ignored warnings they received, found the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Others were worn out by software updates and by the number of passwords they had to remember, NIST found.
This "risky behaviour" might make people more susceptible to attack, it warned.
Biometrics will save us, won't they?

Hmm, on one hand I WANT TO BELIEVE, but on the other this is just another piece of info-warfare to make the plebs think that there is some epic agenda beyond the general exploitation by the powerful. If aliens visited Earth, and have access to "zero point energy", then there is simply no way they would be taken down by gunfire or rockets. If they prohibit warfare (obviously false, why let small proxy wars occur??) then why would they permit genocide such as Rwanda, and economic policies that result in millions of lives lost? Why would they allow us to keep burning oil and pollute our atmosphere? Seems like something worth interfering with...
Too many questions, and none answered by Star Trek's "prime directive" since knowledge of their existence and ZPE would already break that rule...

As far as I can tell, Podesta doesn't believe in "zero point energy" and was just having some crazy blown his way before Edgar Mitchell's death. However, it is clear that Podesta believes that the U.S. government has some information about UFO incidents that it is not releasing. It might boil down to confirmation of "UFOs are crafts piloted by something intelligent, not by another government, and we don't know what they are".
The "prime directive"... more like the prime guideline. Broken all the time. Disregard it? Especially if faster-than-light travel enables all kinds of aliens to buzz around.
If the UFO nuts are hinting at the truth, then aliens either have faster-than-light travel or they have spread everywhere in the galaxy over a long period of time, and are rolling in our hood.
The bit about prohibiting warfare sounds very secondhand, or a complete guess based on incidents where UFOs supposedly disabled nukes temporarily, or someone's hippy agenda crap rolled into a UFO sandwich. Where did they get this information? Probably something like psychic connection with the aliens? That's old school cult stuff. If you are not Donald Trump and want to get dat pu$$y, you should be researching cult worship and starting your own. Make sure to do a blood test on entrants so you can screen them for AIDS, Zika, etc.
