At the United Nations, colleagues communicate across countries, languages, offices and platforms. AI-powered phishing can attempt to exploit those connections.

A message that looks professional isn’t necessarily legitimate. Verify the source and confirm unusual requests through trusted channels.

What can AI and satellite data tell us about the changing climate?

From 5–6 November, young innovators from across São Paulo will take on that question at the first-ever in Latin America.

Organized by UN Office of Information and Communications Technology and FAO and hosted by NTT Data and the NTT DATA Foundation.

In latest Medium post, Bernardo Mariano Junior, Assistant Secretary-General and Chief Information Technology Officer at United Nations Office of Information and Communications Technology, underscores the critical juncture the world currently faces as artificial intelligence develops at unprecedented rates.

"Too often, we build safeguards after a disaster teaches us why they are necessary. With AI, we should be smarter than that. We should be predictive enough to recognize where protections are needed and put in place guardrails or governance that allow us to extract the benefits and minimize the risks," says Bernardo Mariano Junior.

Generative artificial intelligence has become part of our everyday lives. But the question about if we fully understand how much it is…

In device code phishing, attackers may try to convince users to enter a legitimate-looking code that allows unauthorized access.

Only use authentication codes for sign-in requests you initiated yourself. If you receive an unexpected code or authorization request, stop and verify.

Keeping the UN digital environment secure starts with recognizing when something isn’t right.

“ClickFix” attacks use convincing error messages, update notices or instructions to persuade users to take actions that may compromise their devices.

If an unexpected message tells you to “fix” a problem, don’t automatically follow its instructions. Verify through a trusted source first.

While was underway in New York, a new open source community was taking shape in Burundi. At JuneTech 2026, organized by KIT- Digital Innovation HUB, volunteers from the TYPO3 community introduced the CMS to students, educators, young entrepreneurs and government representatives. TYPO3 is an open-source content management system and a verified Digital Public Good.

Through the Erasmus+ BRIGHTER partnership, the committee built a shared website model for five universities. It gives higher education a common, resilient foundation that each institution can adapt and others can reuse.

In meetings with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Youth and SETIC, one message stood out: ownership matters. With open source, public institutions keep control of their infrastructure and the skills to run it grow locally, along with decent jobs and business opportunities.

Next comes Women Building with TYPO3, a planned program to train 30–50 young women for careers in technology.

From quality education to gender equality and local innovation, this is the Global Digital Compact’s commitment to digital public goods and capacity building in practice. It is guided by the UN Open Source Principles, which the TYPO3 Association has endorsed.

Cyber threats can reach us wherever we communicate, including our mobile devices.

“Smishing” uses text messages to trick people into clicking malicious links, sharing sensitive information or taking other unsafe actions.

Whether you’re working at UN Headquarters, in the field or on the move, the same principle applies: pause and verify unexpected requests before acting.
