Lord Neil Benjamin Gibson and the Fight Against Cyber Attacks and Fake News

There is an old Chinese saying “may you live in interesting times”. Whilst seemingly innocuous this cunning turn of phrase is in fact intended as a curse. John F. Kennedy was fully aware of the play in words when he used the saying in a speech given in Cape Town, South Africa, following it with “like it or not we live in interesting times.”
This was true during Kennedy’s Presidency in the 60’s and it is equally true, if not more so, today during the term of Donald J. Trump.

In this digital age of fake news and cyber security attacks we do indeed live in interesting times. We live in confusing times when it is not easy to decipher fact from fiction or truth from lies.
In recent times Lord Neil Gibson has suffered from cyber-attacks attempting to spread fake news stories about him and tarnish his name and reputation. It is an unfortunate situation born of jealousy perhaps but whatever the cause, Lord Neil is fighting against it.
There are numerous reasons why someone would want to hack a website. During the advent of the internet, hackers might have attacked websites to boost their egos or to show off that they were capable of pulling off such tasks. Essentially, hacking was synonymous with a “look at what I can do!” mentality. These days, the internet landscape is much more robust and complicated than the good old days.
As more and more of our lives, personal details and records go online the motivation for hackers to access your information has grown exponentially. This isn’t even taking into consideration the obvious issue of internet banking.
The attack on the websites of Lord Gibson was not for monetary gain but rather a personal attack in an effort to spread fake news. His sites were compromised by hackers, however a special security team has been brought on board to identify and secure any breaches to online systems going forward. Only web content was affected and while nothing has been identified as of yet, forensics and log file review are ongoing.
As you may have read, Gibson recently attended the Future Blockchain Summit that was hosted by Smart Dubai and organized by Dubai World Trade Centre. One of Lord Gibson’s primary reason for accepting the invitation to attend the conference was to research what blockchain could do for his personal cybersecurity and he was happy with what he learned.
At a basic level a blockchain is a decentralized, digitized, public ledger of all transactions and uses what is known as the Distributed Ledger Technology. This could potentially help enhance cyber-defense as the platform can prevent fraudulent activities via consensus mechanisms. Owing to their distributed nature, blockchains provide no ‘hackable’ entrance or a central point of failure and, thereby, provide more security when compared with various present database-driven transactional structures.
This technology is being looked at by Lord Neil Gibson and his team to prevent future attacks, to prevent fake news stories about him going into the public domain and to make life a little easier by spreading truths and facts rather than lies and fiction. With any luck the future may be a little less interesting.

Why Greatness Attracts Greatness

It is a well-known phenomenon that greatness attracts greatness and with this in mind it is not surprising that when Welsh rugby star Alex Cuthbert spent time in Dubai recently, it was spent in the company of Lord Neil Benjamin Gibson.

Being a tall and imposing figure himself, it is a rare occurrence that Lord Gibson ever has to look up to anyone when in their company, but at 1.98m tall and weighing 106kg, Cuthbert is a particularly impressive man. Aged only 28, he has made 47 appearances for the Welsh Rugby team scoring 80 points, with the highlight being the two tries he scored against England in the 2013 Six Nations Championship which led to his selection for the 2013 British and Irish Lions tour to Australia.
Gibson and Cuthbert spent time together socializing and relaxing on the Palm Jumeirah and being an avid golfer Alex even made time to fit in a round of golf at the extremely impressive Dubai Creek Golf Club. It was a welcome respite for both men in the midst of hectic schedules. Cuthbert has recently transferred from Cardiff Blues to Exeter Chiefs and it preparing for this new challenge, whilst Gibson is currently in the final stages of an extremely lucrative property deal in the Bahamas, more of which to follow shortly.

With free time becoming an increasingly rare commodity, especially for men who operate on the level of Lord Gibson and Cuthbert, it is essential to spend the moments gleamed from work wisely and in the company of like-minded people who will enhance the time you spend with them. It is a lesson that Neil Gibson learned when he was younger, not to waste your time on those who do not deserve it, not to give your most valuable commodity to time-wasters who will leave you feeling emotionally drained and frustrated.
This is the real reason that greatness does indeed attract greatness. Men like Lord Neil Benjamin Gibson and Alex Cuthbert realize how important their time is and they instinctively recognize that trait in one another. Despite their vastly different areas of expertise, the characteristics that make both men successful overlap and the time spent in one another’s company was time enhanced.

Lord Neil Benjamin Gibson signs deal with Imperial Capital LLC

April 29th was a significant day for Lord Neil Benjamin Gibson and LNBG Investment LLC as on that date Lord Gibson signed contracts with Imperial Capital Investments LLC. This multi-million Dollar deal is in relation to land, owned by Gibson in The Bahamas, totaling over 700 Acres. 

The land in The Bahamas was purchased by Gibson several years ago and is further proof of his entrepreneurial spirit and his uncanny ability to see potential where others may overlook. This particular piece of land has a storied past, having once being owned by Michael Jackson prior to his death in June, 2009. but is now ripe for development and Lord Gibson is excited about what is coming in the very near future.  

This development will be a massive boost to the Caribbean island which is still struggling to recover from the confusion surrounding the 2017 mega storm, Hurricane Irma. Whilst The Bahamas was more fortunate than other parts of the Caribbean, it’s hotels were largely open for business again within a week of the Hurricane passing though, it is still suffering indirectly from confusion and fear amongst tourists who are unsure which islands got hit the worst or are possibly even afraid of the potential of further super storms in the future. 

Gibson has been working tirelessly to broker a deal with a well know international group and this recent agreement with Capital Investment LLC, who are licensed by UAE Central Bank, will greatly assist the deal as they are guaranteeing the funds required. At the time writing negotiations remain ongoing and as such not too many details can be announced. However, as progress is made and more details can be released Lord Gibson will make sure to reveal all.  

The massive investment and construction that Neil Gibson is striving for will send out a beacon to holiday-makers around the world that The Bahamas is indeed open for business and should give people the reassurance needed to once again make the island nation the destination of choice for luxury, relaxation and recreation.
