How will cloud computing change the various roles within an IT organization and how will it change their importance, relative to one another? CIO.com's Bernard Golden explores some key issues.
My recent post, The Internet of Things and the Cloud CIO of the Future garnered a lot of attention and comments. One tweet by @abbielundberg said "agree w priorities but there's more to CIO role." Abbie, by the way, is former Editor-in-Chief of CIO Magazine, so she definitely knows whereof she speaks.
A good friend who spent years selling to CIOs once commented about CIO priorities "They can only focus on three big things, and two of them are budgets and people, so don't expect that it's easy making your widget a top priority within the organization."
There's a lot of wisdom in Abbie's and my friend's perspectives, and it's instructive to think about what the people side of cloud computing is going to look like—or, to put it another way, how will cloud computing change the various roles within an IT organization and how will it change their importance, relative to one another?
[ Beware the 9 warning signs of bad IT architecture and see why these 10 old-school IT principles still rule. | Sign up for CIO newsletters. ]
We believe it's impossible to understand these questions without understanding the environment in which IT personnel will be working in the cloud computing future. Our prediction is scale: big data, more (virtual) servers, more applications, much larger applications, and many more highly elastic applications. In the past, growth in computing capacity was mirrored by a linear growth in headcount. It's clear that this phenomenon, if it ever made sense, is unsustainable at the scale IT will have to operate in the future. Companies can't—and won't—support the scale growth with headcount as in the past.
The solution is quite clear: the substitution of software automation for what was manual interaction. This is the only possible way that IT will be able to cope with the one, two, or three order of magnitude growth of scale the future will hold. And the personnel of the IT organization will need to implement and support that automation. Essentially, what was heretofore implemented manually must be standardized, captured in rules, and executed without human interaction. So what will it mean for IT people when automation is infused within the systems and processes? Here are five of the likely implications:
Step 1: Understand how and why your applications are being utilized.
Any process that requires a human touch carries a bottleneck that will hamper operating at scale. As a side note, many of the private cloud plans I've seen envision whiz-bang infrastructure being operated in the same old way -- so a resource request portal is offered for application developers, but all that happens is that the portal spits out an email for an operations person to provision some resources in the same old manual way. Any plan that envisions implementing a cloud infrastructure to dissuade application groups from using public providers without including an operations process re-engineering effort as well is doomed.
The vision of automated resource availability clashes with after-the-fact compliance review. For cloud computing to achieve its vision, the legal and regulatory compliance requirements for applications must be part of the provisioning process. The insights of compliance personnel must be integrated into the service catalog that is provided to resource consumers, which means that these skills need to be part of the infrastructure and operations group. Part of the decision tree for that real-time deployment decision has to be the compliance implications of deployment location, which requires integration of these requirements into the automated provisioning process.
You'll notice that only one of these five changes relates to infrastructure personnel. It's an unfortunate reality that many people view cloud computing as purely a infrastructure modernization project without recognizing the further ramifications of running a cloud computing environment. It's not surprising that this is so, but it presages a lengthy disillusionment when the other ramifications of running a cloud computing infrastructure begin to sink in. What one can say with confidence is that when infrastructure changes, so too must the superstructure in order to align with the underlying foundation.
This is familiar territory for those acquainted with Clayton Christensen. He extensively addresses the challenges institutions face when attempting to apply an innovation without modifying the general practices of the organization. His prescription for this is for the existing institution to set up a separate, segregated organization chartered with implementing the innovation and achieving the necessary operational and financial results. Applied to IT organizations, this would advocate setting up a cloud "subsidiary," chartered with creating a new mode of operating. The challenges of doing such a thing for most IT organizations are obvious, but it's a thought.

More information about Intego and Uninstall Instructions. Please review Intego EULA and Privacy Policy. Fortunately, it does not seem to be true. Reputable security vendors have made a small research on this program and claim that it's just another adware or a potentially unwanted program (PUP). Such categorization means that this dubious browser plug-in is distributed using unfair methods and may infiltrate computers without being noticed.
Besides, it means that it may try to make people visit websites that are not frequently visited in a normal way. For this purpose, it may start initiating a ton of 'Ads by Hover Zoom', which may be filled with various deals, discounts, and similar things.
However, if you are not willing to land on an unknown, suspicious, or even unsafe website, we highly recommend you to ignore all Hover Zoom ads. Finally, be aware that this adware is NOT capable of collecting sensitive data about you. But third-party applications and advertisers might rely on tracking methods that focus on browsing-related data.
It has been found that the browser app itself uses web beacons, Flash, and HTTP cookies that seem to be used for collecting non-personally identifiable information about you in order to investigate your browsing habits. All in all, be aware that the Hover Zoom virus is NOT malicious; however, it can still cause some privacy and computer-related issues.
Thus, if you suspect that this program has infiltrated your computer, we recommend you to run a full system scan with an anti-malware tool and eliminate it right away. Also, keep in mind that some third-party applications and commercial content creators might affect your time online and corrupt files on the PC, so rely on ReimageIntego that can fix the damage for you.
PUP distribution ways
As we have already mentioned, Hover Zoom virus may infiltrate the computer without being noticed. To be more precise, it may be attached alongside various freeware as an optional download, and the only way to notice its presence and opt-out of it is to select an appropriate installation option and keep an eye on every detail.
Therefore, whenever you decide to install a freeware, keep in mind that it may be filed with optional downloads and select the Advanced or Custom installation option. After that, check everything step-by-step and unmark checkmarks claiming that you agree to install Hover Zoom or any other browser add-on, plug-in, toolbar, or extension. In case, Hover Zoom redirects to suspicious domains that have already started bothering you, follow the removal guide.
AV tools are capable of removing the Hover Zoom virus
Since Hover Zoom is a typical adware, its removal should not cause difficulties. Thus, you can try to remove it manually with the help of a guide that is given below. Those steps show how to reset all the browsers and how to terminate the program fully.
However, after that, we highly recommend you to run a full system scan in order to make sure that your computer is completely fixed. Anti-malware tools needed for the security aspect and for checking that Hover Zoom PUP is no longer active. Also, PC repair tools are helpful when particular damage on the machine triggers unwanted issues.

Recover files after data-affecting malware attacks
While much of the data can be accidentally deleted due to various reasons, malware is one of the main culprits that can cause loss of pictures, documents, videos, and other important files. More serious malware infections lead to significant data loss when your documents, system files, and images get encrypted. In particular, ransomware is a type of malware that focuses on such functions, so your files become useless without an ability to access them.
Even though there is little to no possibility to recover after file-locking threats, some applications have features for data recovery in the system. In some cases, Data Recovery Pro can also help to recover at least some portion of your data after data-locking virus infection or general cyber infection.

Email attachments simplify sharing files and documents within a company, allowing for quick and easy distribution of information among employees. But they have also been a critical aspect of enterprise cybersecurity since they can be exploited to cause harm to the organization. This can be through unintentional insider threats such as accidentally opening a spam email attachment or sending emails from an unsecure network, or through targeted attacks like phishing or malware attacks by external entities. So, it's vital for employees to follow proper email security best practices to prevent potential data breaches and financial loss.

Targets receive a convincing looking email that appears to come from a widely used e-signature platform.
This email has a blank image attached. The image is loaded with empty svg files, which are carefully encoded inside an HTML file attachment. (Sorry for getting slightly technical, hang on we are getting there).
In short, it’s very clever and it’s tricking its way past a lot of security software.
And because it is getting past a lot of security software, it is putting businesses like yours at risk. Because code within the image sends people to a malicious URL.
Open the attachment and you could unwittingly install malware onto your device – or even your network – which risks exposing your data and leaving you open to a ransomware attack.
Recently, there’s been a wave of HTML attachment attacks on small and medium sized businesses, so it’s clear that companies need to take action to stay ahead of the criminals.
What you can do
If you use software to sign documents electronically, double-check that emails are genuine before opening any attachments.
There’s a reason why the criminals have chosen to impersonate a trusted name.
Taking things a step further, you could block all emails with this type of attachment, to prevent employees from being exposed to scam emails in the first place.

A U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation spokesman said Wednesday the agency is working with the Secret Service to determine the “scope” of reported cyberattacks against several financial institutions.
Bloomberg reported on Wednesday that Russian hackers struck JPMorgan Chase and another bank earlier this month. A subsequent report in the New York Times said the attacks hit JPMorgan Chase and four other U.S. financial institutions.
The Times reported that “gigabytes” of information were stolen, including customer account information.
[ Beware the 9 warning signs of bad IT architecture and see why these 10 old-school IT principles still rule. | Sign up for CIO newsletters. ]
A JPMorgan Chase spokeswoman did not confirm the attacks, saying that “companies of our size unfortunately experience cyberattacks nearly every day. We have multiple layers of defense to counteract any threats and constantly monitor fraud levels.”
Representatives for Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Citigroup—also frequent targets for hackers—could not be immediately reached for comment.
FBI spokesman Paul Bresson said via email that combating cyber threats is a top priority for the government, and the agency constantly works with U.S. companies to fight attacks.
Media reports speculated the attacks could be in retaliation due to sanctions against Russia for its actions in Ukraine, but the motives remain unclear.
[ Prepare to become a Certified Information Security Systems Professional with this comprehensive online course from PluralSight. Now offering a 10-day free trial! ]
Quoting an anonymous source, Bloomberg wrote that one of the attacks was executed via a zero-day vulnerability in one of the bank’s websites. A zero-day flaw is one that attackers are exploiting but for which there is no fix.

The global survey of over 1,500 business leaders illustrates the rapid change in business leaders' perceived risks to their organizations and shows that having a cyber insurance policy is now more common than two years ago.
In 2017, Marsh and Microsoft found that 62% of respondents saw cyberattacks as a top-five risk, whereas this year 79% do. The share of respondents who see cyber attacks as the number one risk has also risen from 6% to 22% over two years.
SEE: 10 tips for new cybersecurity pros (free PDF)
This year, the second most widely considered top-five risk is economic uncertainty, followed by brand damage, regulation, and loss of key personnel.
The World Economic Forum (WEF) 2019 Global Risks Report ranks data theft and cyberattacks as top-5 risks in terms of likelihood, but they are behind extreme weather events and climate change concerns.
Of course, since 2017 the world has seen the damage caused by the WannaCry ransomware outbreak, which the US government blamed on North Korea. It was shortly followed by the hugely costly NotPetya malware, which was blamed by governments in the West on Kremlin hackers.
Criminal ransomware attacks continue to strike targets too, such as the attack on Norsk Hydro earlier this year that cost it $40m. And over the past few months, multiple US local governments have weathered targeted ransomware attacks with at least one attacker demanding a ransom payment of $5.3m.
Lately, universities across the West have come under fire from state-sponsored hacking groups in search of intellectual property.
However, these days business email compromise (BEC) is shaping up to be the most costly and common threat. Insurance giant AIG recently revealed that BEC-related insurance claims are the top cyber-insurance claim in 2018, accounting for 23% of all claims in the EMEA region. This was followed by ransomware.
According to Marsh and Microsoft's survey, 47% of organizations have cyber insurance, up from 34% in 2017. Additionally, 57% of large firms with annual revenues of over $1bn report having cyber insurance compared with 36% of organizations with revenues below $100m.
Nearly all respondents, totaling 89%, are confident their cyber insurance policy would cover the cost of a cyber event.
But not all cyber-insurance claims are paid. Food giant Mondelez was one of several victims of NotPetya in 2017. Its insurance provider Zurich Insurance Group declined to pay for Mondelez's $100m damages claim because NotPetya was considered a "hostile or warlike action in time of peace or war".
SEE: Ransomware: Cyber insurance payouts are adding to the problem, warn security experts
The case illustrated how governments blaming other governments have given insurance companies an argument not to pay certain damages claims. Mondelez sued Zurich over the unpaid claim in January.
Drug maker Merck, also a victim of NotPetya, has filed law suits against multiple insurers that rejected its damages claims on the grounds of a war exemption, the New York Times reported in April.
Over half of the respondents in Microsoft's survey said they are "highly concerned" about nation-state cyberattacks, while 55% said governments need to do more to protect them from these attacks.

By Sudarsan Raghavan and Thomas E. Ricks, Washington Post | April 25, 2007
BAGHDAD -- As US soldiers fired a hail of bullets, the first suicide bomber sped toward their patrol base. Reaching the checkpoint, the truck exploded, blasting open a path for the second bomber to barrel through and ram his truck into the concrete barrier about 90 feet from the base. The second explosion crumbled walls and parts of a school building, killing nine American troops and injuring 20.
Mourning his fallen comrades yesterday, Lieutenant Colonel Michael Donnelly took comfort in a single detail: The bombers did not detonate their payloads inside the base, located in Sadah, a village near Baqubah, 40 miles northeast of Baghdad.
"It certainly could have been worse," said Donnelly, a US military spokesman, describing Monday's attack, one of the deadliest against US ground forces since the US-led invasion in 2003.
American forces are increasingly exposed to danger and death as they step up their presence in Baghdad and volatile areas such as Anbar and Diyala provinces. Once housed in vast, highly secure bases, many now live in hostile neighborhoods inside isolated combat outposts, the lynchpin of a counterinsurgency plan designed to wrest control of streets and towns from Sunni insurgents and Shi'ite militias.
Military tactical specialists say such combat outposts, where soldiers are expected to interact with area residents and gather intelligence about potential enemies, are the most effective way of preventing car bombs and other attacks in the long term. Paradoxically, this approach is making US soldiers more vulnerable as they rely more than ever before on the Iraqi police and army and the support of the local population for their safety.
Insurgents are starting to take advantage of this exposed presence, staging daring frontal attacks designed to cause heavy casualties, a departure from their trademark hit-and-run and roadside attacks. In a similar coordinated assault on Feb. 19, insurgents attacked a US combat outpost in Tarmiyah about 30 miles north of Baghdad, killing two American soldiers and wounding 17.
"I would refer to them as probing actions to determine vulnerabilities," said retired Colonel Andy Berdy, a former battalion commander in the Army's 101st Airborne Division, referring to the two attacks.
"I think that Al Qaeda insurgents are going after any target that looks 'soft' or 'promising,' wherever those may be," agreed Colonel Jerry Morelock, a former director of the Army's Combat Studies Institute.
Yesterday, the Islamic State of Iraq, an umbrella Sunni insurgent organization said to have been created by Al Qaeda in Iraq, claimed responsibility for the attack in Sadah, located in Diyala province. In a statement, the group claimed it had sent "two knights" to bomb the "Crusader American base."
Diyala, a major flashpoint of Sunni, Shi'ite, and Kurdish tensions, has become the third deadliest area in Iraq for US casualties this year, after Baghdad and Anbar provinces. As militants have fled a 10-week-old security offensive in Baghdad, they have engaged US and Iraqi forces in Diyala, where the US is sending more than 2,000 reinforcements to combat the growing insurgency. At least 56 US soldiers have died in Diyala since November.
"There is a lot of work still to be done in Diyala province," General David Petraeus, the top US commander in Iraq, said in an interview before the attack in Baqubah.
"What you are trying to do is to improve security in neighborhoods. That means you have to get into the neighborhoods," he added.
US soldiers have set up at least seven combat outposts and patrol bases in and around Baqubah, while others are spread throughout the province. The stations, intentionally placed in some of the most dangerous areas to try to deter violence, are erected in homes, schools, police stations, and at government buildings. They are guarded by tall concrete barriers, concertina wire, large bags reinforced by metal and filled with dirt, and machine gun positions on rooftops and in windows.
Military specialists said Army commanders would "harden" the outposts more in response to the attacks.
The US military said yesterday that a Marine was killed Monday during combat operations in Anbar, bringing the American death toll for the day to 11.

Nevertheless, critical PCs serving as file servers in a business-critical context can be the subject of professional capacity planning. 8 Double hump curve The trend in the early 1990s seems to be toward mainframe-like capabilities on small and much less expensive computer systems. It is tempting for the businessperson to believe that these smaller systems can be managed cheaply as well. However, without appropriate systems management disciplines and the unmanaged growth of departmental systems, businesses of the next 20 years may be faced with catastrophic complexity, uncertain capacity, and uncontrollable costs.

International Mine Action Standards (IMAS) recommends the deployment of third-party QA/QC representation where clearance forms part of Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) risk management strategy.
The offshore QA function involves examination of the ERW survey and/or clearance contractor’s routine functions including field operational processes and documentation. The combination of QA and QC provides assurance to the client that ERW risk management work is compliant, effective and that the area if fit for purpose.
Threat Resolution Ltd (TRLtd) Subject Matter Experts (SME) can be integrated directly into our client’s structure to carry out the QA/QC function.

I was in Australia recently speaking with a number of companies about what they’re doing and why, with regard to security and compliance. I’ve found that the attitude towards compliance is generally very healthy, and seen as adding value.
This is different from the typical reaction I get in the US where many organizations see compliance as a “tax” and try to get away with doing the bare minimum.
Some of this difference is likely cyclical – things like PCI are still on the upswing in Australia, whilst it’s mostly implemented in the US. But, even in the Australian companies that are compelled to comply with PCI and other regs, the attitude toward compliance seems different…somehow healthier (or, at least, more optimistic).
Compliance is not the destination
Most of the Australian organizations I’ve spoken with see compliance as useful and adding value. I’ve asked a number of questions to try to figure out the difference, and I think a lot of it stems in the perception that compliance is a step, not the destination.
For example, one of the CISO’s I spoke with said, “I have the need to be compliant, but the want to be secure, so we’re going to use PCI as our basis and build on it to improve our security."
Another Security Director commented that “All security has an element of compliance with something - it just doesn’t always have some agency on your back to fine you if you don’t manage your compliance well.”
The study didn’t include Australian responses this go-round but, based on my observations, I suspect they would mirror those of The Netherlands and Germany, rather than those of the US and the UK.
It will be interesting to see what happens in the future when Australian companies are surveyed for the RBSM study.
Compliance can help set priorities
One example of “value-added” compliance that came up quite a bit was based on guidance from the Australian Dept. of Defense in their document, “Top 35 Strategies to Mitigate Targeted Cyber Intrusions.”
This document contains a prioritized / ranked list of controls, countermeasures, and strategies to help organizations improve their security against common intrusions. You may argue a bit about the exact order, you may want to add an item or two, etc. – for example, I’d add a specific item around hardening your systems – but the list is pretty solid.
The Australia Department of Defense also did a good job of “marketing” the value of following these guidelines, such as this claim: “…the effectiveness of implementing the top four strategies remains unchanged. Implemented as a package, these strategies would have prevented at least 70% of the intrusions that DSD analysed and responded to in 2009, and at least 85% of the intrusions responded to in 2010.”
No wonder people aren’t complaining about complying with this one.
One of the folks I spoke with said that he values compliance as a way to “set priorities, in the midst of an overwhelming number of potentially useful options.” It’s hard to argue with that.

When you go to a website that has display advertising, such as a newspaper or social site, online advertising networks scan the data that is gathered about you so that they can present an ad that will be relevant to you. Some ads are more targeted than others, but could include your language, the type of device you are using and its operating system, and sometimes a piece of your browsing history. While legitimate advertisers use this information to help you find products and services that you might want, cybercriminals use this technology to find victims.
Malvertising doesn’t look different from any other online ad. In fact, some cybercriminals copy real ads and use those as their lure to get a click-through. But you don’t even need to click on an ad in order to be exposed to the invisible web page containing malicious software that could kidnap your device or grab your bank credentials. These unseen attacks, called drive-by downloads, use programs called exploit kits to profile your device and identify any vulnerabilities that might be present due to unpatched and out-of-date software. Then the malware “phones home” to tell the cybercriminal server what it has found, signaling the delivery of a second malware drop that is designed to use the vulnerability as a way to take control of your whole system.
Access our on-demand webinar to discover why your business is more vulnerable to cybercrime than you think.

I lay awake now and count the days…10 days until virtual school starts. 9 days. 8 days. As the stress lays heavy on my chest, my husband sleeps soundly next to me. (More on that later.)
I scroll Facebook looking specifically for friends whose kids have already started school. “Only a few tears,” one mom posts. “Mine.”
My friend Melanie in Atlanta writes: “We came up with a new school rule this morning: When you have P.E., you have to wear pants.” This makes me laugh. And take a deep breath.
Every school year is complicated (teachers, grades, friends), but I think it’s fair to say this year will be the most complicated. My four kids are spread out at two Baltimore County schools. As of press time, they will be learning virtually through January, however it could only be a few weeks, according to Gov. Hogan. But, then again, with an expected COVID flair during the cold months, it could be forever. Unless we have a vaccine—in which case they could go back tomorrow. That could definitely happen, but probably not. (You know what’s definitely happening? A margarita.)
These are the things that rattle inside my brain. In-person would be easier for this working mom, but would the stress of worrying about buses and sneezing and recess and “so-and-so’s sister had it but she slept on the other side of the house” rumors make me yearn for virtual? I don’t know.
But here’s what I do know. We need to be kind to each other.
We need to be kind to the teachers and staff who are just as overwhelmed as the rest of us, but have the enormous burden to teach the same but different.
To the kids trying to remember all the Google Meet passwords, whether it’s an A-day or a B-day, and if it’s a week where Monday was a holiday that means Tuesday is really Monday and Wednesday is Friday, but Thursday is still Thursday.
To the other parent who isn’t juggling kids asking a million questions all day while trying to run a Zoom work meeting—but is still picking up dinner or offering to take everyone to soccer practice so the main parent can have 60 minutes alone. (If they’re anything like me, they will use that time to watch the Real Housewives, scroll mindlessly through Instagram, and possibly eat an entire sleeve of cookies.)
We need to be kind to our co-workers who are suddenly managing way more than they bargained for and are daydreaming of their quiet offices in their pre-COVID life. They don’t want to look like they are struggling or dropping the ball, so they are often working late into the night to fit it all in.
And the parents who both work outside of the home and are just trying to figure it all out. The ones who deserve endless texts from a friend saying, “You are doing a great job.”
Be kind to the woman at the grocery store crying while she food shops. Her day might have consisted of troubleshooting a school device while her stressed kid slammed the door in her face and shouted, “I hate being home with you!”
And, most importantly, we need to be kind to ourselves. It’s gonna suck. We can’t be all the things to all the people all the time. There’s going to be tears and laughs and failures and disappointments. We’re going to say, “mute yourself” and “turn that camera on” and “are you paying attention?” and “no I don’t know where your book is” a bazillion times. We’re going to be mad at our kid and a teacher and an administrator and other parent—sometimes all at once.
Occasionally it will be because we’re right, and other times it will be because we think we’re right. But mostly, it will be because we are tired. And heartbroken. This isn’t how the first day of kindergarten was supposed to go. Or the last year of middle school.
So let’s be kind.
I asked my friend Jessie Peterson, a mom of three who has been virtual schooling it for a few weeks now, for some tips on getting adjusted this year.
“I think as parents, we feel responsible—I mean we are, but education has always been shared—for the success of our children. Now it’s all in our hands and that’s incredibly overwhelming and scary,” she says. “I have so much guilt because I can’t give them what their teachers can. I don’t have the tools, especially for my special needs kid. It’s hard to sit on the sidelines and watch your kids struggle and be generally unhappy.”
Peterson felt like she was staring at a calendar wondering what day they’d be back in school. So her first tip is go day-by-day. “Don’t think about the weeks or months ahead. You will drive yourself insane.”
Tip 2: Create a quiet workspace with caddy of easily accessible materials. (For two of my kids we were able to fit desks in their rooms. For the other two—it’s the kitchen table. Do what you can.)
Tip 3: Talk to other parents. Be open. They are feeling the same things. Time to be honest and supportive and raise each other up.
Tip 4: Create a goal system for little accomplishments during the day. We use buttons and the kids can pick something out from the $5 store or candy store at the end of the week.
Tip 5: Put a chair next to your child, especially little ones. They will need our help, a lot.
Tip 6: Ask your teachers to make checklists for work that must be turned in. That way parents can review with their kids and not hover and try to navigate their workload. This has been awesome.
Tip 7: Install a voice to text app onto your computer, especially for younger kids, so they don’t bug you with spelling questions and typing woes. “Read&Write” app works great on Chrome.

Awareness raising of staff working in healthcare settings on security and data privacy is important to reduce cybersecurity vulnerabilities and exposure.
Training of IT staff working in healthcare settings is of high priority in order to enforce the knowledge on information security processes and data protection procedures. This may include proactive managerial and technological strategies to reduce vulnerabilities e.g. best practices to minimize the potential for becoming a victim of phishing and ransomware or strategies to respond to attacks,…. Appropriate training on the permitted use of patient health data/ information according to the requirements of relevant data protection law(s) is also a priority.
The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU of up to EUR 1 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.
Proposals under this topic may be subject to security scrutiny if they could potentially lead to security-sensitive results that should be classified (see guide for classification).

So @malwareunicorn wrote a great "Malware RE101" article and I thought I would go over the static analysis chapter with our good chum radare2. I like to learn, and I like to share, so here it is.
It's a good idea to go and read the original article and then come back here if you are very new to malware analysis. If you are just here to learn more about radare2, then grab a beer and take a seat.
The chapter I am going to go over cover static analysis of an unknown malware using windows tools. These tools are great, but I'm not a big user of Windows. I have some Windows VMs that I use to run samples in, but that's about it. For the most part I am a Linux person. So I'm going to go over this chapter using Linux tools, mostly from within Remnux as there's a lot of PE tools packaged in with the repo.
But before we start you must update/install r2 from git in Remnux, otherwise you are working with a dinosaur version and you won't enjoy it. All you have to do is clone the repo and run sys/install.sh from the directory.
UPX0 0x1000 0x2e000 0x0 d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e 0.000000 [SUSPICIOUS]
UPX1 0x2f000 0x52000 0x52000 16257d5acfdbed7dca880991bf0418ff 7.707761 [SUSPICIOUS]
[ ] [*] Use -AA or aaaa to perform additional experimental analysis.
[x] Constructing a function name for fcn.* and sym.func.* functions (aan)
vaddr=0x00412b08 paddr=0x00011108 ordinal=511 sz=46 len=45 section=.rdata type=ascii string=Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run izz = search strings in whole binary. ~Soft search for lines with match Soft
data 0x401399 push str.Software_Microsoft_Windows_CurrentVersion_Run in sub.ADVAPI32.dll_RegOpenKeyExA_340 data 0x4014aa push str.Software_Microsoft_Windows_CurrentVersion_Run in sub.ADVAPI32.dll_RegCreateKeyExA_430
So two places, matching with what the original article finds with IDA: sub.ADVAPI32.dll_RegOpenKeyExA_340. If we seek to the location and enter visual mode
We see where the string is being pushed onto the stack. Press 0 to go to the start of the current function and lo and behold we're at the same address as in the original article:
/ (fcn) sub. ADVAPI32.dll_RegOpenKeyExA_340 228 | sub.ADVAPI32.dll_RegOpenKeyExA_340 ();
Right, so the next step is to go to where the function is called, press x to bring up the caller selection. There's only one entry, so press Enter and we head straight to main. Shortly after the call you can see some more interesting API calls such as | | 0x00401652 ff1578e14000 call dword [sym.imp.WININET.dll_InternetOpenA] ; [6] ; 0x40e178 ; ",8\x01"
So Malware Unicorn says that we need to look for the value in esi because that's the argument that contains the URL it will connect to. As she says, the value from eax is moved into esi a few lines before, and eax gets populated as the return value from call fcn.00401260. So let's look at what this does. In my session there's a ;[5] at the end of the line. This means that if I press 5 it will take me directly to that function. So looking at the preceeding lines we can see the string being pushed into the stack and possibly its length | | 0x00401635 ba17000000mov edx, 0x17 | | 0x0040163a b9402b4100mov ecx, str.___343._6_w45.w__36t957 ; 0x412b40 ; ">?<343.?6#w45.w?,36t957" | | 0x0040163f e81cfcffffcall fcn.00401260 ;[5]
So we got this function and it's a big one. The original article points out to look for the xor al, 5Ah instruction, which is at 0x00401316. Scroll there and you can see the xor loop. Or not? Press V to see the ASCII graph, which might make the loop a lot clearer.
So we need to label this function for later use. So let's do that. In visual mode hit : to enter command mode and enter
Where XorDecode is the new name and 0x00401260 is the address of the function.
The next part suggests to use xorsearch on our binary. This tool also exists on linux and is installed on Remnux. It has the same options:
$ xorsearch unknown-decomp ".com"
Found XOR 5A position 11153: .comZdope.exeZZZZdopeZZZZYo this is dope!ZZZZ. *.;

There are millions of users of Facebook who are affected by the users. The security researcher named Anurag Sen discovered that the Amazon Web Services of public contains a lot of information about the contact. The contact information of 49 million or more people than that. Facebook is the owner of Instagram and most of the other things on Instagram.
The exposed databases include the information of the public from Instagram accounts such as the number of followers or the number of followings. The likes and shares are also some of the information as well. Facebook has now leaked many of the private information of its users on different occasions. In the year 2017 in August saw the hackers obtaining and selling the email addresses. The phone numbers of 6 million people. You can just not trust Facebook at any cost and especially when it comes to the cryptocurrency.
The secretive data of the people are now leaked to a huge extent. But the recent leak of the huge amount of data is a huge reminder to claim a perfect distance. If privacy is to be maintained, then one must make sure that Facebook is not trusted with ease. There are many leaks of data in social media handles, and Facebook has had many such cases. Thus, one must be cautious while making the use of Facebook, which is one of the most popular social media sites.
The leaked database has any information about people and many other details as well. Profile pictures, bio, the total number of followers, and the location of data. A massive data breach is now trending in the news. Many Instagram influencers are brands or celebrities. This has led to the creation of fear amongst all the people and the reason behind that is the issues of the privacy leakage.
Instagram takes the first headline of the news again. The most astonishing fact is the number of people who are affected by the security issues. The security issues can even lead to some serious loss of data. There are investigations which are processed to avail security features. The investigation also exposed some campaigns, and their posts and all details are also leaked.
In this way, this news has led to the astonishment of the people, and the reason behind that is the breaches reveals all the records. The reach of the breaches are also excessive, and thus, there is a great loss for many brands and stars in general. The followers and their posts have revealed many personal things about the people and their handles. This has also revealed the amount that is given to the influencers for getting the ads run on the site. People are taking an interest in a thorough understanding of the report produced. The people are now giving their best to restore their lost privacy and other essential information. Thus, it is a strong recommendation to navigate through social media sites with the utmost care and cautiousness.

Run all software as a nonprivileged user with minimal access rights.
When possible, run all software as a user with minimal privileges and limited access to system resources. Use additional precautions such as restrictive environments to insulate software that may potentially handle malicious content.
Deploy network intrusion detection systems to monitor network traffic for malicious activity.
Deploy NIDS to monitor network traffic for signs of anomalous or suspicious activity. This may indicate exploit attempts or activity that results from successful exploits.
Do not follow links provided by unknown or untrusted sources.
Web users should be cautious about following links to sites that are provided by unfamiliar or suspicious sources. Filtering HTML from emails may help remove a possible vector for transmitting malicious links to users.
Set web browser security to disable the execution of script code or active content.
Since a successful exploit of this issue requires malicious code to execute in web clients, consider disabling support for script code and active content within the client browser. Note that this mitigation tactic might adversely affect legitimate websites that rely on the execution of browser-based script code.

The business impacts arising from the pandemic forever changed the way we operate businesses. With a rise in working from home and the need to have business-critical information available remotely and in real-time, there is increased pressure on IT leaders to operate efficient cloud-based systems. In fact, astudyby AppDynamics found that 75% of Australian technologists believed COVID-19 had created the most significant technology pressure for their organisation that they have ever experienced.
A 2020 study also found that more than half of companies have reported a public-cloud based system has improved their ability to meet business targets. The case for a multi-cloud strategy in Australia has undoubtedly been made with the 2020 Global Ransomware Resiliency Report reporting almost two-thirds of Australian companies (57%) are running a multi-cloud environment and use between 15-20 cloud services. The continuing evolution of sophisticated, scalable cloud architectures — native and hybrid — has meant that organisations can reap the benefits of modern cloud infrastructures and microservices architecture to boost productivity and increase cost savings.
However with the benefits of cloud technology comes the logistical headache for many companies as they try to manage highly complex, multi-site, cross-platform deployments, making it difficult for IT leaders, CIOs and CTOs to prove the benefits of moving to the cloud. They must have a seamless way to monitor, configure, and optimise their business’s entire technology stack through a single lens. Failure to manage observability can see enterprises stumble and risk negating the benefits of cloud altogether.
The benefits of the cloud in terms of flexibility, innovation, collaboration and reduced costs are evident. However, often the move to the cloud has also led to a more complex, distributed application architecture and configuration. Some components remain on-site while the rest move to the cloud, which creates a hybrid architecture that is more challenging to manage.
The challenge moves beyond ‘lift and shift’ applications to managing a fundamental change in how applications are built, deployed and operated. Complexity is normalised when it comes to development, migration, modernisation and maintenance, which adds significant pressure for IT and operations teams. The situation has been further exacerbated by the pandemic, with two thirds (66%) of Australian technologists being asked to perform tasks and activities they have never done before. In recent months, COVID -19 has necessitated an acceleration towards cloud technology, as businesses of all sizes have rapidly embraced remote working and digital-only strategies. Roy Morgan research conducted during the first wave of the virus in Australia found 32% of the population worked from home between April and May 2020, with up to 60 per cent of Australian workers wanting to work remotely for two or three days a week in the future.
Without the cloud, the rapid transition to remote operations, uptake in collaborative tools and software and changed workforce behaviour would not be possible.
These increasing deployments of infrastructure and applications built for the cloud, coupled with a hybrid cloud landscape, means enterprises are struggling to keep up, and therefore at risk of failing to fulfil their customers’ needs. With an increase in IT spending, there’s also a need, across the enterprise, to show how these newly implemented cloud-enabled, digital services are driving customer and business value. To succeed in managing multi and hybrid cloud apps, enterprises must be able to observe and track performance and application statuses across platforms and to be able to directly link performance data to increases in productivity and/or revenue increases.
The power of observability and monitoring
With the right tailored hybrid-cloud management solution, enterprises can track performance and application status across sites and platforms, regardless of whether they are public or private cloud platforms. Observability is critical as it provides the raw, granular data necessary to gain an in-depth understanding of complex and highly distributed systems.
With observability, organisations can maintain visibility across their application environment, from a browser session request to a backend database call. AppDynamics auto-discovers the flow of all traffic requests in an IT environment to visualise performance and uses machine learning to automate anomaly detection, reduce MTTR and correlate software and business performance metrics, so IT teams can swiftly diagnose application performance problems.
Because the management console responsible for observing and resolving issues sits as a layer of intelligence across all platforms — and allows businesses to combine data from and apply policies to any of those platforms — companies are still free to choose the best cloud solutions for their individual needs. They aren’t locked in to any one cloud solution. They can determine whichever is best for the task at hand.
More importantly, businesses can quickly assess how well the infrastructure supports the applications, and spot any bottlenecks and load issues in real-time. It also allows IT teams to dynamically allocate resources and adjust workload placement to optimise performance and costs. By doing that, businesses can avert low-performance situations, leading to bad customer experiences and lost sales. Observability provides validation and fine-grained understanding that highly distributed applications and systems work as they should.
Despite the sound business case for holistic monitoring, fewer than 15% of enterprises implement it, something which — according to research by Gartner — risks putting the benefits expected from $255 billion of investments in cloud-based solutions at risk.
Observability offers more intricate views of the technical details required by engineers. To have an effective cloud-based business it is critical to ensure it is working at an optimum level. When a company doesn’t have adequate monitoring and/or observability, across its entire IT landscape, the cloud’s benefits almost vanish entirely.

The default behavior of the DHCP client service is to dynamically register the first IP address for an interface.
If you wish to dynamically register multiple IP addresses for an adaptor this is configured with more than one IP address, or is logically multihomed, you must set the MaxNumberOfAddressesToRegister Value Name, a REG_DWORD data type, at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\Adapters\\{GUID\} to the maximum number of IP addresses that you wish to be registered.
To determine the \{GUID\}, open a CMD.EXE window and type:
NOTE: You must restart your computer for the change to become effective.
NOTE: If you set MaxNumberOfAddressesToRegister to 0, no addresses are registered for this adapter.

DreamHost might not be as popular as Siteground and Bluehost among typical internet users, but think me, it’s an extremely popular brand amongst developers, designers and digital marketers. Control.
Because they were founded in 1996 ( in Los Angeles), they’ve grown to host over 1.5 million websites and have hundreds of employees. Impressive. Control
DreamHost is among those suppliers that you can discover suggested all over. WordPress themselves backs them — but I’m not sure how seriously I ‘d take this recommendation, as while they show SiteGround as an alternative (which we approve), they also recommend Bluehost, which is a much more doubtful option. Control.
I am going to address all of these questions and more in this DreamHost evaluation so you can learn everything about their pros, cons, pricing and when (and when not) to utilize them.
If you do not have much time to read this in-depth DreamHost review, check out the video listed below:.
As their offering is not limited to shared hosting plans, let’s examine what other services you can get with DreamHost.
Together with hosting packages, you can get domain names at DreamHost. Pick from over 400 TLDs (like.com,. org,. internet) or more unique extensions (like.club or.guru). Nation specific TLDs such as.es,. fr,. co.uk or.de are also available. A.com domain is $ 15.99 at renewal.
DreamHost’s shared hosting will provide you a lot for your cash, they cost $ 3.95 a month for the 1-site plan or $ 9.95 for the Endless tier– simple prices. This type of hosting is terrific to begin, however if your job grows a lot (e.g. more than 200,000 visitors a month), you’ll need to upgrade.
You can envision a Virtual Personal Server (VPS) as a shared hosting server that has been divided into smaller sized servers. This suggests that you can configure it to your requirements. Therefore, your site will be hosted independently from other clients’– the resources aren’t shared either. VPS hosting plans at DreamHost start at $ 13.75 a month and can go all the way as much as $110 a month. Control
If your website gets so big that you need your own server, that’s when you need to think about getting a devoted account– beware, these are a bit more costly. Devoted hosting at DreamHost starts at $169 monthly.
That’s not all, DreamHost likewise uses cloud hosting. Envision this as a series of interconnected servers that host your website. This service is ideal for those anticipating peaks of traffic as more resources (e.g. RAM and CPU) can be included as you need them. Figuring out just how much will you pay it’s difficult as the cost depends upon the resources (e.g. RAM or storage) that you require.
On top of all that, they also use WordPress hosting strategies– they have unique WordPress packages for their shared and VPS hosting. If you ‘d like automated updates, staging areas and devoted WordPress support, you can opt-in for a Managed WordPress account. Shared WordPress hosting starts at $3.95 a month, VPS at $10 and Managed WordPress at $19.95.
However, if you do not want any technical hassle and simply want to easily introduce a simple website, they offer a website home builder too. It seems extremely inexpensive (begins at $4.95), however in all honesty, I have not tested it so I would not know if it’s any good.
The focus of this DreamHost review is their shared hosting plans, so from now on, I’ll be referencing those.
DreamHost has an ‘Unrestricted Policy’ and they do not accept particular jobs like file circulation sites.
I really appreciate that DreamHost’s rates and plan structure are both transparent and simple. They only have 2 shared strategies which include most of the essentials you’ll need– no aggressive and expensive upsells.
Let’s check out what plan will you need:
The Shared Starter strategy is limited to 1 website, so if you are just looking to host 1 site, this is your finest choice. Know that if you require e-mail accounts, those are paid separately in this strategy ($ 1.67 a month extra)– a fair rate if you ask me. The only other constraint is databases, as you won’t have the ability to produce more than 6– however do not fret, for 1-site projects 6 is a lot.
To host more than 1 site you’ll need the (still affordable) Shared plan. This one includes email accounts and limitless databases too. There aren’t any other functions included as the standard plan is currently pretty generous with storage, FTP accounts, bandwidth and so on.
There are also optimized pricing plans for WooCommerce users, that you can discover here.
Well, a lot of site owners should think of utilizing DreamHost. It integrates both low prices and high quality, something that’s extremely difficult to find these days in the hosting world.
I would state that little jobs (e.g. a dental practitioner’s site) looking for the best worth for their money should think about DreamHost.
Larger sites might find a great partner in DreamHost’s shared hosting too. It has enough speed, good support and reputable uptime for avid blog writers and hardcore website designers.
Even if it’s not PCI compliant out-of-the-box, DreamHost supports this technology– you might make it occur geeking around. This is clearly an enormous pro for ecommerce jobs.
When Not to Utilize DreamHost’s hosting?
There are a few cases where I would not recommend DreamHost.
As they don’t have servers outside the United States, if your audience does not originate from The United States and Canada, it’s most likely not the best option. Bluehost, SiteGround or A2 Hosting could be a better fit.
tech-savvy users like designers or companies may miss some sophisticated features like staging locations, incorporated caching system or pre-installed Git repositories. If you expensive having these, SiteGround is the way to go. Control.
Before you dedicate and leave your website’s ‘well-being’ to a brand-new hosting provider, you ought to have a look at their efficiency.
Of course, I do not anticipate you to have time to go and check 5 or 6 hosting service providers over a number of weeks. To make your life simpler, I have actually just recently tested DreamHost’s performance and benchmarked it versus their rivals.
5 GTMetrix Fastest Provider 1.2 s
5 Pingdom Test 2 out of 7 were faster 0.77 s 5 Webpagetest Test 1 out of 8 were faster 4.89 s
I was a bit hesitant about DreamHost’s speed as they don’t seem to have a built-in caching system and are likewise missing a couple of other features. As you can see in the table above, their speed performance was top of the class throughout our tests.
check out DreamHost if speed is an essential element for you. Control.
Is DreamHost’s Uptime Good?
Some hosting suppliers have continuous disruptions and their schedule (uptime) suffers. As you can think of, this can be a big problem for hosting-dependant projects like online stores or digital marketing agencies. On top of that, Google and other online search engine won’t treat you too positively.
Because of this, I continuously keep an eye on hosting service providers’ uptime. Let me share DreamHost’s with you.
This hosting supplier can be a great choice for numerous. Fair costs, solid support and a really generous endless policy (for storage and bandwidth) will be extremely enticing benefits for lots of.
Furthermore, their efficiency is one of the very best I have actually attempted, implying that your job (even big websites) will be safely hosted at DreamHost.
Understand however, that if you are trying to find professional features like staging areas, integrated caching and pre-installed Git repositories, DreamHost might fall short. Also, it’s not ideal if your traffic comes mainly from outside North America.
Yes, DreamHost is a great host for any type of starter WordPress site. They use great features, a rock-solid platform, and quick servers at a budget friendly expense. Control.
Their high quality of service and rates gets on par with HostGator, GoDaddy, as well as Bluehost.
The only host firm that supplies less expensive webhosting costs than DreamHost is Hostinger.
Does DreamHost use cPanel?
No, DreamHost does not utilize cPanel. Instead, they have built their very own customized control panel that has all the administration features you’ll discover in cPanel.
You can conveniently do MySQL database administration, modification PHP variations, access 1-click installers for WordPress, manage SSH & FTP accessibility, and a lot more. Control.
DreamHost as well as SiteGround used to be comparable, but recently SiteGround has actually considerably boosted their webhosting platform. They have likewise boosted their prices by 2x. Control.
The comparison isn’t fair any longer.
If you were contrasting DreamHost vs SiteGround based on shared hosting costs, then DreamHost is better.
If you were contrasting DreamPress handled hosting vs SiteGround, after that SiteGround provides a lot even more worth for far better prices.
Yes, you can quickly set up WooCommerce on DreamHost shared hosting along with VPS strategies.

@Mark: Ummm...NO. MBAM is NOT a replacement for a resident Anti-Virus, it is a supplement. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic380441.html/page__p__2141871#entry2141871
No single product is 100% foolproof and can prevent, detect and remove all threats at any given time. The security community is in a constant state of change as new infections appear. Each vendor has its own definition of what constitutes malware and scanning your computer using different criteria will yield different results. The fact that each program has its own definition files means that some malware may be picked up by one that could be missed by another. Thus, a multi-layered defense using several anti-spyware products (including an effective firewall) to supplement your anti-virus combined with common sense, safe computing and safe surfing habits provides the most complete protection.

And it does not seem to matter either as long as you work with computers you can automatically fix anything with power in it faxes, satellite setups, car stereo and toasters. And naturally you will fix all these things for free in your free time.
There are also computers that are refurbished models. These are computers rebuilt, usually by the brand manufacturer, with new components. The refurbished computer also might come with a limited warranty which is better than no warranty at all. This option might be more expensive than a used computer option but it is still less expensive than a new computer.
Hard drive nowadays is cheap and you can get an external hard drive (small USB powered hard drive) for a cheap price. 5400 RPM is good and 7200 RPM is better. Do not shop for size. Shop for speed (RPM). If you need extra low speed memory, you can always get them later for a very cheap price.
This is the spec you want to focus on, if you are comparing two models of laptop computers. (for example, two laptops have the same price but one offer higher processor speed and the other one offers higher RAM, which one will you choose?) Of course, situs belajar komputer the answer is choosing the one with higher processor speed. Why? it is simple. You can’t change the processor of your laptop once you bought them. Secondly, RAM is so cheap nowadays and is replaceable. A RAM cost you $30 if you buy them separately but if you get them together with your laptop its gonna cost you $100.
how to use computers Netstat is a useful tool that displays network connections (both incoming and outgoing) on computers. This will allow you to see all IP Addresses that have made a connection to your computer.
learning computers I have tested the others and for my marketing purposes they didn’t do too well at all. I do have a friend who promotes dating offers on the “Back Page” classified site and does nicely with that. But for most marketing offers I found that the three I listed above are the ones to focus on.
If you are considering this for your own use, there are some things that you will have to have before you get started. Consider the ways that you can gain access and choose the method that best suits your purposes. You have the choice of the web to access the software to remotely access other computers or you can use an access software program. It is a good idea to have a downloaded version of the software for those occasions when there is no access to the web.
That certainly does not cover all of the skills that could be required or useful on the job, but if you have all of the listed skills you should feel confident that you will be able to help a majority of customers with their computer or network issues. You may find it worthwhile to also pick up some skills and experience in areas that are not quite as popular as the Windows and networking world. There are a lot of people with experience in Windows and networking, and you may find it hard to stand out from the crowd. If you know Mac’s well, you may want to focus on developing those skills and marketing your experience to a smaller subset of users.
But, for those who really feel uncomfortable learning something new in public, online Spanish courses are a good first step toward conquering the anxiety that goes along with learning something for the first time. Computers make it possible to learn Spanish from the comfort of home. Being able to work Spanish study time around a daily schedule is an ideal solution for busy families.
Do you commute to work? If so, Chinese language learning software is definitely for you, as most programs come with MP3 files that can be listened to anywhere you go, great for subway and bus rides.

This report covers antivirus software, which scans your hard drive, removable media, incoming and outgoing mail, email attachments and instant-messaging chats for malware such as viruses, worms and Trojan horses. Antivirus software is not just for PCs, either. Mac users, who were sheltered from malware and other threats for decades, are increasingly at risk for attacks.
Keeping a computer free from malware has become more difficult over the years as threats now emerge from multiple sources including computer files, USB drives, email attachments and websites. Antivirus software makers have responded by beefing up their "antivirus" software with extra features and defenses. In addition to fighting malware, the best antivirus programs now protect you from spyware, phishing, identity theft, threats delivered over USB and more. This still falls short of the all-in-one protection found in Internet security suites, which typically add in still more safeguards and features such as a software firewall, parental controls, file encryption and backup, plus more. If you think that a suite's more encompassing protection is something you are interested in, we name some top choices in a separate report on Internet security software.
That said, full-fledged Internet security suites typically cost more than more basic antivirus programs from the same company, and a security suite's extra features might be redundant, or not needed. For example, experts say that the hardware firewall in most modern routers is usually much more effective than a software firewall. Besides, some of the best antivirus programs are free -- and you can't beat that.
Year after year, Kaspersky and Bitdefender duke it out for the antivirus championship. This year, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2018 (Est. $30 per year for 3 PCs) grabs the title, after edging out Bitdefender in AV-Test's latest malware-busting shootout.
But controversy swirls around Russian-made Kaspersky and its alleged links to Russian spy agencies – a charge Kaspersky has denied. The U.S., U.K. and Lithuania have banned Kaspersky software on certain government computers. Best Buy, Office Depot and Staples have yanked Kaspersky software from their shelves.
Is it safe to use Kaspersky software at home? It depends who you ask. Some experts say they'd steer clear. Others argue that while big-name antivirus software would be a great government spying tool, it wouldn't pose any risk to ordinary home users.
Top testing organizations still recommend Kaspersky. "Until we see real evidence that Kaspersky software is a threat to consumers, we will continue to recommend it," Tom's Guide writes, and PCMag adds a similar note to all of its Kaspersky coverage.
Undoubtedly, Kaspersky works. It's the only home antivirus software that earns the highest possible scores for everything at AV-Test – protection, performance and usability – for all commonly used versions of Windows (7, 8/8.1 and 10).
Kaspersky offers a free version with the same impeccable protection, but PCMag says it's worthwhile upgrading to the paid version. Paid users get phone and live chat support, System Watcher (an extra barricade against ransomware that's "a doozy," PCMag praises), vulnerability scanner to check for weaknesses in the system and apps, Microsoft Windows troubleshooting and a bootable Kaspersky rescue disk.
Despite all of that, if you're wary of Kaspersky, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2018 (Est. $40 per year for 3 PCs) is a good alternative. Bitdefender boasts more extra features than Kaspersky, including a file shredder, password manager and a SafePay hardened web browser that provides an extra layer of protection for your online financial transactions. Malware protection is outstanding, and Bitdefender's phishing protection is, quite simply, the best you can buy. Bitdefender handily wins PCMag's antiphishing test, protecting you from fake websites (the kind that pretend to be your bank, PayPal, etc.) better than anything else. PCMag names Bitdefender and Kaspersky co-Editor's Choices. But it's not all smooth sailing. Bitdefender suffers more false positives than Kaspersky at AV-Test, and it slows down the computer more when opening websites.
It should be noted that for PC users, Windows Defender (or Microsoft Security Essentials for Windows 7 and earlier) comes with the tech giant's operating system. It provides basic antivirus security, but testing reveals that protection levels are far below that of the best paid antivirus software. Even many free antivirus programs (covered next) outperform Microsoft antivirus software by a substantial margin. Be aware that if you install a separate antivirus program, you may need to disable Microsoft's tool first to prevent performance issues.
Free antivirus software is very effective
Free antivirus programs from Avast, Avira and AVG all protect admirably against malware in professional tests. (All work better in tests than Microsoft Windows Defender/Security Essentials, the antivirus software that comes pre-loaded on Windows computers.) But adoring users boost Avast Free Antivirus (Free) to the top spot, with thousands of rave reviews at Download, which is a CNET site.
"A great free antivirus" with surprising bonus features, PCMag's Neil J. Rubenking says, awarding Avast Free Antivirus his Editors' Choice award. Avast blocks 87 percent of malware in Rubenking's test. It performs better in independent labs' tests, blocking 99.9 to 100 percent of malware – as long as it's connected to the Internet. (Avast uses cloud technologies to help it recognize malware, so when the computer is offline, detection drops to less than 90 percent.)
That's not quite as good as the best paid antivirus programs -- but it's better than other freebies, and way stronger than the built-in malware safeguards on your computer and web browser. Ditto for anti-phishing: Avast beats all other freebies in PCMag's test, but it can't quite match the best paid antivirus programs, Kaspersky and Bitdefender.
Avast includes nice extras, including a password manager and router security scan, for free. Speed is up and false alarms are down compared to previous years in 2018's tests, making Avast equally as convenient as the best paid antivirus programs. For free, you can't beat it.
Late in 2016, Avast bought its biggest rival, AVG. The company continues to offer both products -- although they now perform identically in tests at AV-Comparatives. "For our consumer customers, the Avast and AVG brands will remain the same, as we know some of you out there prefer one brand over the other. The underlying engine will be stronger than ever for both user groups," Avast said after the buyout. AVG AntiVirus Free (Free) wins PCMag's Editors' Choice award alongside Avast.
A third choice, Avira Free Antivirus (Free) detects malware about as well as Avast and AVG in the latest independent tests. Traditionally, Avira's Achilles' heel has been its sluggishness. In 2017 tests at both PCMag and Tom's Guide, Avira dragged its feet while scanning and bogged down the whole system -- but Avira may have alleviated that problem. In the latest tests at AV-Test and AV-Comparatives, Avira now refrains from hogging the CPU and, like its rivals, earns decent performance scores.
Mac computers need virus protection, too
Reviewers' favorite Mac antivirus just happens to be free: Avast Security for Mac (Free). "A rare breath of fresh air in a sea of anti-virus products that haven't worked hard enough to keep up to date with current threats," says Macworld, naming it "Best Free Antivirus" for Mac. It's Tom's Guide's favorite freebie, too: "Avast Free Mac Security caught 99.9 percent of all malware, packs in a password manager, barely leaves a smudge on system impact and doesn't charge a dime." the editors say.
Avast for Mac aces tests at AV-Comparatives and AV-Test, blocking 99.9 to 100 percent of Mac malware and 100 percent of Windows malware (so your Mac won't become Typhoid Mary, blithely passing along Windows infections to your friends with PCs). Zero false positives and zealous squashing of PUAs ("potentially unwanted applications," like adware) keep users happy: More than 1,600 Download users award it an average of 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Avast for Mac is light and quick, so it won't slow down your computer noticeably (Tom's Guide measures a 10 percent reduction in speed during a full scan). Only AV-Test found it slow – but then testers discovered that their test version had a default setting that Avast has since changed (downloads are now validated after downloading instead of during), "which saves lots of time." You can schedule daily, weekly or monthly scans, or start scans manually.
Avast for Mac boasts a few bonus features, too. There's a network security scanner, basic password manager, website ratings (Avast marks up your search results – green for safe, red for dangerous and gray for unknown), an active Do Not Track feature and excellent protection against fraudulent "phishing" websites on Chrome and Firefox (during PCMag's anti-phishing test, Avast's phishing protection was not yet fully functional in Safari).
Runner-up is another freebie, Sophos Antivirus for Mac (Free). Like Avast, it squashes 100 percent of Mac malware in AV-Test's latest test (it's not tested at the other independent lab, AV-Comparatives), and it doesn't bog down the computer or bug users with false alarms. Sophos is the top free pick at Macworld (UK), where editors really love its always-on protection (other freebies scan on-demand or by schedule).
On this side of the Atlantic, Sophos's paid version, Sophos Home Premium (Est. $50) wins the Macworld (U.S.) test – but editors there say Sophos's free version isn't quite as full-featured as Avast's free version. Users at Download don't like Sophos as well, either, awarding it 3 out of 5 stars (although the latest reviews there are more than a year old).
No paid Mac antivirus program stands out in reviews as better than the free Avast for Mac. Last year's winner, Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac (Est. $50 per year for 3 Macs), still sails through tough tests at AV-Test and AV-Comparatives, flawlessly slaying both Mac and Windows malware. It also earns an Editors’ Choice award from PCMag, despite catching only 75 percent of Windows malware (in contrast, Avast for Mac caught it all). But more concerning, it misses three out of 10 Mac malware threats in Macworld (U.K.)'s test. And in Macworld (U.S.)'s test, Bitdefender catches browser-based malware just fine – but it lets downloaded malware sneak through. "Bitdefender may have sterling marks from security labs, but it's not nearly so effective during real-world use," Macworld's Glenn Fleishman concludes.

With respect to the recent Apache Log4J vulnerability described in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) in CVE-2021-44228 , our Engineering team investigated the potential exposure for the PDF Java Toolkit to this vulnerability.
The library components in PDFJT (including Talkeetna) use a bring-your-own-logger facade called SLF4J . This lets customers pick which logging package they want to use in their programs. If a customer is using log4j with the PDFJT or Talkeetna libraries, then that was something the customer configured in their build, and they can easily update the version of log4j.
PDFJT only uses Log4j in completed programs. The following components that we ship to customers contain log4j:
RELite
PDF Java Toolkit Samples (in which the customer could also update the log4j version in the POM).
However, these are standalone applications making use of log4j and as such do not enable jndi because they don't need it. Therefore they should not have the jndiLookup vulnerability.

A trio of vulnerabilities were recently patched in eBay’s Magento e-commerce web application that could have let attackers carry out a handful of exploits.
Hadji Samir, a researcher at the firm Vulnerability Lab dug up the problems earlier this year but it wasn’t until this week that they were disclosed, along with proof of concept logs and videos.
Perhaps the most troublesome issue fixed in the platform was a persistent filename vulnerability. A remote attacker could have injected their own script code into the application-side of the affected service module. This could have resulted in session hijacking, persistent phishing, persistent external redirects, along with “persistent manipulation of affected or connected module context,” according to the vulnerability disclosure.
A video that demonstrates the bug shows an attacker logging into Magento, creating a new message, and starting a session tamper to intercept session data. From there they can change the filename to a malicious payload of their choosing.
Samir also found a cross-site scripting (XSS) bug in the platform that could have made it easy for an attacker to remotely inject their own script code into the application-side of the vulnerable online-service module. This could have opened client side accounts up to theft by hijacking, client-side phishing, client-side external redirects and like the other bug, non-persistent manipulation of affected or connected service modules.
The last bug, a cross site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability, could have allowed “unauthorized client-side application functions without secure validation or session token protection mechanism.” Basically an attacker could have intercepted user sessions and deleted their internal Magento messages without authorization.
Samir found the XSS bug in February and the other two March but Magento’s Developer Team held off until May to patch the issues. They were then publicly disclosed by Vulnerability Lab on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, this week.
Earlier this year developers fixed a remote code execution bug in the platform dug up by Check Point that could have exposed customers’ credit card information, along with other personal data.
Web stores running on Magento, purchased from eBay in 2011, make up about 30 percent of the eCommerce market.

Google has joined Amazon Web Services in promising customers of its cloud services that it will be compliant with new European Union data protection rules due to take effect next year.
Neither company is fully compliant yet, but both have now made public commitments to meet the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by May 25, 2018, echoing a promise Microsoft made back in February.
The GDPR replaces the 1995 Data Protection Directive. Among its biggest changes are requirements that companies:
- design data protection into their products and services from the earliest stage of development.
It's not all extra work for businesses: There are some exemptions for small and medium-size businesses (SMEs), and the GDPR's move to a single set of rules for all of the EU's 28 (for now) member states puts an end to jurisdiction shopping -- litigating privacy cases in the most favorable territory -- and makes compliance simpler for companies working across borders.
But some businesses will become liable in ways that they weren't before: The GDPR applies not just to data controllers -- typically those by or for whom the data was collected -- but also to data processors, the service providers or middlemen that hold the data or perform the calculations on it. Their customers will want the rights and responsibilities of each party set out clearly before the new rules take effect.
AWS Chief Information Security Officer Stephen Schmidt outlined the company's progress towards GDPR compliance in a blog post on April 25. "I am happy to announce today that all AWS services will comply with the GDPR when it becomes enforceable," he wrote.
That surely prompted Wednesday's blog post from Google Cloud's director for security, trust and privacy, Suzanne Frey, and its director of data protection and compliance, Marc Crandall. "Google is committed to GDPR compliance across G Suite and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services when the GDPR takes effect," they wrote.
But both companies were beaten to the punch by Microsoft Chief Privacy Officer Brendon Lynch. "Microsoft is committing to be GDPR compliant across our cloud services when enforcement begins," he wrote on Feb. 15 in a blog post about the readiness of services such as Azure, Dynamics 365 and Office 365 for the new rules.
AWS is a little further ahead than Google, at least when it comes to the paperwork. The company has already revised its Data Processing Agreement to meet the requirements of the GDPR, and is making it available to customers on request, Schmidt said.
Frey and Crandall could only say that Google Cloud has evolved its data processing terms over the years, and that they "will be updated for the GDPR as well."
Once again, Microsoft has trumped them: Lynch pointed readers to the GDPR pages of the company's Trust Center, which now indicate that Microsoft made available contractual guarantees on data processing back in March.
It's a fairly safe bet that the big cloud service providers will ensure their compliance with the new regulation: Their business, at least in Europe, depends on it.
But their customers operating in Europe still have work to do before the deadline. They'll need to figure out (if they haven't already) what personal information they hold about European citizens, update internal governance and procedures to determine who can access the data and how it will be protected, and prepare the documents needed to prove compliance with the new rules come May 25, 2018.

Trondheim (June 11-13, 2013): Yann Le Gallo presented some of the results of the MANAUS Project on quantification of migration risks through fault of a geological storage at the IEA-GHG's Risk Assessment and Monitoring Meeting, organized by the IEA GHG and Statoil.
From the IEA GHG: The joint meeting of Networks of Risk Analysis and Monitoring of the IEA-GHG was held in Trondheim, Norway in June 2013 in the premises of Statoil research center. A series of presentations of major oil companies and research organizations have highlighted the challenges of monitoring and risks of CO2 injection. The pattern and effects of CO2 injection from three key large-scale projects: Decatur demonstration project for CO2 storage in Mount Simon sandstone in the Illinois Basin, the CO2 storage project In-Salah in Algeria, and the injection and storage project Snøhvit in the Norwegian North Sea were discussed. Important site-specific data acquisition and modeling was also presented from different projects: Sleipner (Norway), Goldeneye (UK), Ketzin (Germany), Aneth (Utah), Cranfield (Mississippi) and Otway (Australia).
The main benefit of full-scale (1M+ te CO2) demonstration is the experience gained from large-scale injection into different types of reservoir. All three key projects involved detailed seismic monitoring which was used to track the progress of CO2 plumes. The pattern and rate of migration could then be compared with different types of reservoir model. These three sites, and the other examples presented at the meeting, have highlighted the strength of field demonstration, particularly at large-scale. Although techniques like 4D and 3D seismic are expensive they are valuable for tracking plume development with time. They also provide a history-matching template to compare and integrate with different models. Improving model performance is an area for future research.
The risk assessment component of the meeting explored a number of themes including the impact of regulation, the necessity for incentives and the perception of risk from different stakeholders. Risks posed by technical constraints specifically fault stability and induced seismicity were also discussed. The attitude to risk across integrated capture – storage programs was explored during the meeting. Utility companies regard power supply contracts, and escalating capital and operating costs associated with CCS, as the biggest areas of uncertainty. In contrast, storage operators are more concern with reservoir uncertainty. There was a general consensus that both regulators and those directly involved in CO2 storage need to work together to resolve the challenges facing them. This approach has already been adopted in the US and Norway.
The meeting concluded that mitigation and remediation could be improved by adopting practices from other industries, for example gas storage. Different risk assessment methodologies can be effective for anticipating uncertainties. It is also clear that communication, especially with the public, needs to be unambivalent and presented in an appropriate style that can be understood. A key message to convey is that there needs to be a balance between risk and benefits and not just risk in isolation.

Posted in: Reflected File Download (RFD). Tagged: attack vector, Black Hat Europe, Command Injection, google, Google Chrome Browser, JSON, Reflected File Download, RFD, Web attack vector. Leave a comment
Researcher Oren Hafif uncovered a new attack vector where the malicious file is downloaded without actually being uploaded anywhere.
Oren presented the new Web attack vector at the Black Hat Europe in Amsterdam. This attack injects commands (Command Injection) into a URL that will be injected in a given through a JSON file or JSONP response. What’s needed is an API that accepts user controlled input and reflects it into the response, similar to XSS. The File downloaded isn’t hosted on the targeted website, but instead it’s reflected from it. It appears to the user that the downloaded file is from a trusted source (google.com) but in fact is not hosted there.
When the victims click on the crafted link, the Web browser sends a request to the vulnerable website, which in turn sends back a response that’s saved by the browser on the victim’s computer as a file. The attacker can set the name of the malicious file in the URL that he sends to the victim.
For example, since Google Chrome if you click on a link to a URL with .bat Content-Type and lists it as an attachment, then the will file be downloaded automatically to the operating system. This happens in many kinds of extensions and in almost all browsers.
Attacker enforces a BAT file in the operating system to execute and carry out RFD. A BAT file is needed to be generated from parameters that can be injected into a JSON file to a trusted location,
The BAT file takes advantage of the OR operator, || in the Windows interface commands giving it 2 commands.
The FIRST command gives FALSE so the SECOND command runs, and the calculator runs. If the FIRST command is TRUE then the SECOND command does not run.
Similar with JSON, command is injected directly and the command file is executed using a similar operator ||. If the FIRST command fails then this causes the SECOND command to execute.

Would you ever leave for a week-long vacation and not lock your front door? Or lock it but leave keys scattered around the yard? Believe it or not, this is the equivalent of what organizations are doing when it comes to securing inactive “stale” user accounts.
Hackers, much like robbers, often look for the easiest and quietest way in. One such path is through user and service accounts that are no longer in use. This basic security step is often overlooked. Whether it’s a result of an employee leaving or changing positions, if organizations don’t take the necessary steps to close these entry points, they will end up with a vector for attack.
In fact, a recent Varonis analysis found that 26% of all accounts belonged to “stale enabled users.” These accounts hadn’t accessed data or logged on to the network for more than 90 days. For one organization, approximately 90% of all user accounts were stale.
The Ghost in the (Corporate) Machine
While technology plays a key role in successfully monitoring accounts, the threats posed by stale users can often be mitigated just by improving communication between your IT team and other departments. IT can implement permission changes and account closure, but only if they receive information from other departments, such as human resources, who can flag when an employee leaves.
Most organizations focus on protecting current users, but ghost users are a huge and often overlooked threat. If the IT team isn’t notified, “ghost” users can lie dormant, yet still retain access to systems and data. From a hacker’s perspective, it’s relatively easy to find inactive accounts to target -- a quick search on LinkedIn or Twitter, for example, could reveal who’s recently left a company. Inactive accounts are a great way for hackers to quietly probe without alerting anyone.
Now imagine what could happen if hackers found their way into the account of a senior level staff member – someone who has left the company or changed roles – with access to a wide range of sensitive information across the organization. The hacker could use this account to gain access to valuable intellectual property, personally identifiable information and financial documentation, just to name a few.
When looking into this growing threat, we also have to understand that not all companies can afford to ask their already overworked IT department to expend more resources on activity across deactivate accounts. While it might be straightforward to run an Active Directory script to check which users haven’t logged on for a certain period of time, the real issue on teams lacking bandwidth is what happens next with that information.
Here’s a tip for minimizing the risk of inactive accounts. First, implement procedures to ensure that all user accounts are active, governed and monitored. Start by understanding what is normal behavior for both user and service accounts so you are better able to spot anomalies. Next, take proactive measures to boost your organization’s anomaly detection capabilities.
Know that most hackers are targeting your data. Enforce a “least privilege” model so that only those that “need to know” have access to sensitive information. It’s also important to ensure that all data owners and business leaders periodically re-certify access to data to highlight if a person has left the organization.
The issue of stale user and service accounts is about more than just good IT housekeeping. If the door to your company’s most sensitive data is left open, you’re an easier target for exploitation -- placing your company at significant risk. Developing a process for monitoring the behavior of accounts and restricting access to data are the first steps to locking up the easy entry points onto your network.

The State Bank of Viet Nam's headquarters in Ha Noi. — VNA/VNS Photo
Da Nang City, the State Bank of Viet Nam, as well as Can Tho and Vinh Phuc provinces were rated level A for their concern about implementing information security.
The Authority of Information Security (AIS), Ministry of Information and Communications recently announced the cyber information security assessment and ratings of State agencies in 2019.
AIS surveyed 89 agencies including 26 ministries, ministerial-level agencies, and governmental agencies (except for the ministries of public security, defence and information and communications) and 63 provinces and municipalities.
There were 46 ministries, branches and localities rated level B, accounting for nearly 52 per cent of the total. Thirty-two were level C, accounting for nearly 36 per cent.
Seven were rated D, which is evaluated as just starting to pay attention to implementing information security, accounting for nearly 8 per cent.
None were rated E, which is not interested in implementing information security.
Compared with last year, the number of ministries, branches and localities that were rated from level B has increased this year.
AIS said most agencies were more concerned about ensuring information security last year than the previous year.
The authority attributed the achievement to the work of ministries, agencies and localities in accordance with Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc's instructions in Directive 14/CT-TTg dated June 7 last year, and instructions and plan of the Ministry of Information and Communications.
AIS said that it rated the cyber information security level based on five indexes including basic information security index based on assessment results from data of agencies; information security index of the websites and information portal; malware infection index; information leakage index; and monitoring information sharing index.
Nguyen Quang Thanh, director of Da Nang Department of Information and Communication, said being rated level A was recognition from the Ministry of Information and Communication of the city's efforts to build e-government and become a smart city.
The city was also deploying an information security architecture platform to ensure the city's data in the cyber environment at the safest level, Thanh said. — VNS var firstCloseP = pasteContent.indexOf('); if (firstCloseP = 0) pasteContent = pasteContent.substr(4); // remove last var lastOpenP = pasteContent.lastIndexOf('); if (lastOpenP = pasteContent.length - 3) pasteContent = pasteContent.substr(0, pasteContent.length - 3); // insert first var firstOpenP = pasteContent.indexOf(', 0); if (firstOpenP > 0) { pasteContent = " + pasteContent.substr(0, firstOpenP) + " + pasteContent.substr(firstOpenP); } // remove blank paragraph pasteContent = pasteContent.replace(/ <\/p>/gi, ''); pasteContent = pasteContent.replace(/ \s*<\/p>/gi, ''); // return pasteContent; } function standardizedContent(pasteContent) { // decode html pasteContent = pasteContent.replace(/</gi, '<'); pasteContent = pasteContent.replace(/>/gi, '>'); pasteContent = pasteContent.replace(/ /gi, '); // trim content pasteContent = pasteContent.replace(/^\s*|\s*$/gi, ''); //// remove style inline tr td //pasteContent = pasteContent.replace(//gi, '); //pasteContent = pasteContent.replace(//gi, '); // remove white space pasteContent = pasteContent.replace(/\s+/gi, '); //// replace

UPDATE: This has now been fixed. I’ve amended this post to reflect that.
If you ran the Cobalt Strike update program today, you may have seen an error message about the failed SSL certificate verification for www.cobaltstrike.com:
The update program pins the certificate for this server. When the certificate does not match what the update expects, the update program gives a warning. This is by design and is so that you can be confident that you’re getting the update from HelpSystems.
The change that caused the error has been reverted and the issue has been addressed. No further action is required on your part, and updates should now be working again.
We’d like to offer our sincere apologies for any inconvenience that this issue caused, and thank you for your patience while the issue was resolved.

The fast emergence of data privacy laws around the world has overwhelmed, if not dismayed, many privacy professionals, some of whom may feel they’re pushing a boulder up the compliance hill for eternity.
But while data privacy laws are indeed exploding—with more than six that passed in the U.S. just this year—it’s becoming clear that they’re built on a common framework. Panelists at the “Keeping up with Changing Privacy Laws and Their Impact on Your Organization” Monday session at ILTACON 2023 advised organizations to dedicate their resources understanding and enforcing these frameworks across their business.

Ransomware is the fastest growing malware threat today with attacks escalating and becoming more sophisticated. The complexity and growth of these attacks have had a direct impact on companies with more than half of the attacks resulting in financial damages of more than $500,000, including, lost revenue, customers, opportunities, and out-of-pocket costs.
Encryption has created challenges for security experts due to the dramatic increase in the volume of encrypted web traffic. Cisco threat researchers observed more than a threefold increase in encrypted network communication used by inspected malware samples over a 12-month period.
While cloud offers better data security, attackers are taking advantage of the fact that security teams are having difficulty defending evolving and expanding cloud environments. The combination of best practices, advanced security technologies, and first-line-of-defense tools can help protect this environment.

A Maine man faces up to 20 years in prison after being found guilty of using the identity of his dead infant brother to obtain passports and collect social security benefits.
Napoleon Gonzalez, 86, of Etna was found guilty of identity theft, passport fraud and social security fraud last week, according to the Maine Attorney General’s Office. Napoleon Gonzalez had been using the identity of his brother, Guillermo Gonzalez since at least the mid 1960s, officials said. Guillermo Gonzalez died as an infant in 1939,
Using his brother’s identity, Napoleon Gonzalez filed for a Social Security number in 1981 and has used it to collect retirement benefits since 2001. He also used his brother’s identity to obtain passports, most recently to travel to Canada in 2018.
Napoleon Gonzalez continued to collect multiple social security payments until March 2020, when authorities began investigating the benefits being paid to the deceased Gonzalez.

At Mindbody, we’ve expanded locally and globally through acquisitions—11 to be precise, six of those in the past four years. Today, we provide 58,000 health and wellness businesses (gyms, salons, spas, and others) in more than 130 countries and territories with our cloud-based online scheduling and other business management software.
As a result of all these acquisitions, we’ve learned a thing or two about how to streamline and speed up the process of integrating a newly acquired company into our enterprise. We have developed and honed stringent M&A plans—with 30-, 60-, and 90-day targets—and we typically achieve full migration within three months.
Below is some advice gleaned from our experience.
Save time onboarding the new employees and boost security with Zscaler
By providing easy, zero trust access to applications and other cloud resources that newly-acquired employees need, the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange and its Zscaler Private Access (ZPA) service have helped our operations team fully migrate companies to Mindbody within a matter of weeks. In part, that’s because the Zero Trust Exchange has no hardware to manage. Integration with our single sign-on and multi-factor authentication solutions and deployment of the Zscaler agent have been straightforward and seamless.
ZPA has become an integral part of our M&A integration process. Recently, we acquired a company with more than 500 users. Using the Zscaler cloud-based service took half as much time as traditional VPNs—all while providing zero trust access to network and cloud resources.
In addition, if new-to-Mindbody employees only need to access specific private applications, we can use Zscaler Cloud Browser Isolation to give them secure web browser access instantly, without having to deal with any additional endpoint agents or plugins, so they can get to work right away.
Stick with one access solution and create a detailed roadmap
If the acquired company invested a lot in its own remote access tool, employees may want to continue using it. However, standardizing on one solution—preferably, ZPA—across your entire expanded enterprise reduces complexity, both for operations and for users. Having one way to access network and cloud resources will save you a lot of hassle in the long run.
You also need a very clear integration roadmap, with realistic timelines and milestones, specifying how you will transition the acquired company’s employees to the chosen access solution. For instance, you may have the very reasonable goals of having all users migrated within 60 days and decommissioning the incumbent solution within 90 days.
In the roadmap, be sure to allow for a few weeks—depending on the size of the acquisition—in which both the acquired company’s existing tool for accessing network resources and ZPA coexist. You’ll want to have a discovery phase, during which acquired apps are added into the Zero Trust Exchange, followed by testing, and then decommissioning of the legacy tool.
Spell out the security assessment process and allow for discovery time
Regardless of the solution you use to enable your newly acquired employees to access resources on your network, your roadmap will include a list of action items to assess the overall security posture of the acquired company. This list should include things like figuring out how many additional ZPA or other licenses you’ll need for the new employees, and what types of resources each category or job role will need access to.
Be sure to build in plenty of time to determine who needs access to what, since users often don’t know exactly what they need. Employees can do their jobs without ever knowing the name of all the applications they use. This is not a technology problem; it’s a people and process issue. It will take time to figure out who is using which resources, and to which resources they should be granted access.
Help acquisitions embrace zero trust
If the company being acquired has not yet begun its zero trust journey, incorporating it into your enterprise gives you the perfect opportunity to explain that zero trust is not just a cool buzzword. You can explain the value of a zero trust, least-privileged access approach to security.
It’s also important to share the benefits of a zero trust approach with the acquired company’s employees, especially if they will have more limited access to resources than they had before. But, as Deloitte and as many other firms validate, the 'transform while transact' approach—that is, tackling integration and transformation simultaneously—makes a lot of sense.
Promote the value of reduced risk to senior leadership
Using a zero trust network access (ZTNA) solution for secure, remote access and having a clear roadmap will greatly increase the chances of meeting the board’s time-to-value goals. And with no network-to-network access required by ZPA, the acquired sites’ hardware and network infrastructure can be decommissioned sooner, and unneeded sites closed more quickly.
If you are proposing using the Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange, your senior leadership team should also appreciate how—by shrinking your company’s attack surface and eliminating the threat of lateral movement from cyberattacks—this approach slashes the risk associated with integrating new employees. The Zero Trust Exchange minimizes threat exposure from acquired entities starting on day one.
Plan with scaling in mind and pay attention to details
Today’s merger or acquisition may not be your organization’s only merger or acquisition, so why start over if there is another one down the road? Figure out your deployment topology and make the steps of your roadmap ones that can be easily replicated. With the Zero Trust Exchange as a foundation, we essentially created a highly repeatable template that shaves weeks off onboarding new employees.
In addition, create explicit naming conventions for your applications and be consistent in your application segmentation and access policies. This advice may seem like overkill, but doing so will save you a lot of headaches later. Trust me. In general, being extremely detail-oriented and recording your steps, and even your thought process, will save you time in the future.
To learn more about how our zero trust journey and how Zscaler is helping us with acquisitions and more, I invite you to read the accompanying Mindbody case study.

Russian hackers managed to steal National Security Agency (NSA) data on how the U.S. hacks into foreign networks by making use of the Russian-made antivirus software Kaspersky.
These Russian hackers, working on behalf of the Kremlin, stole code from the home computer of an NSA contractor after he took highly classified data back from NSA networks and stored it at his residence, The Wall Street Journal reports.
Confirming worries about the vulnerabilities and potential backdoors inherent in the Russian-made antivirus software, these hackers obtained computer code used by the NSA for spying on foreign networks, which not only diminishes the ability of U.S. cyber espionage efforts, but also gives the Russian government a potent weapon to deploy against the U.S. and other countries.
Investigators on the case believe that Russia became aware of NSA files through Kaspersky’s file scanning abilities, which may have detected the computer code as a virus. How that data then apparently came into the hands of Russian hackers is unknown, but it’s possible Kaspersky employees passed that virus signature information and files onto the Russian government. It’s also unknown why the NSA contractor, whose name is not publicly known, took highly classified data back to his home computer. Officials do not believe that the contractor had been working on behalf of a foreign government.
U.S. officials first became aware of the breach in the spring of 2016, which counts as the first known instance where Kaspersky’s software has been exploited to provide access to sensitive U.S. government data. The data theft has not been publicly disclosed.
Eugene Kaspersky, founder and CEO of the company, has already derided the story as a “conspiracy theory.”
Kaspersky Lab said in a statement to The Wall Street Journal that it “has not been provided any information or evidence substantiating this alleged incident, and as a result, we must assume that this is another example of a false accusation.”
Back in September, the Department of Homeland Security banned the use of Kaspersky across the entire federal government for fear of Russian hackers taking advantage of potential hidden backdoors in the software to gain access to data. The DHS gave agencies a timeline to eliminate use of the antivirus software. Kaspersky in response has protested that it has no “inappropriate ties” to the Russian government.

The latest trick attackers are using to bypass security and fool users into downloading malware involves .wiz file attachments. Here's what you need to know.
It's been a summer of experimentation for attackers leveraging the Necurs botnet. In late May and early June, large waves of Necurs-distributed spam emails were spotted carrying malicious Excel Web Query (.iqy) files. These legitimate, deceptively simple files blew right past email filters and antivirus scanners on their way to infecting victims with a second-stage payload (the FlawedAmmyy RAT).
In July, the criminal group TA505 leveraged Necurs to distribute PDFs with another newly-exploited legitimate file type inside — .SettingContent-ms files. Once again, the payload these legitimate files were abused to retrieve was the FlawedAmmyy RAT.
With Microsoft and Adobe both taking action to neuter .SettingContent-ms file abuse, attackers turned back to .iqy files for campaigns distributing the Marap downloader in early August. They also experimented with hiding them inside PDFs and password-protected ZIP archives to continue bypassing filters.
Later that month, however, Necurs campaigns were spotted carrying a third legitimate file type — Microsoft Publisher (.pub) files. After initially including the .pub files as standalone attachments, attackers soon began embedding them inside PDF attachments to try their luck that way, as well.
Now with the summer winding down, Necurs attack campaigns and their experimentation with legitimate file types still appears to be heating up. Most recently, researchers @SettiDavide89, @hexlax, @James_inthe_box, and others have spotted spam emails distributing malicious Wizard (.wiz) files — files used by Microsoft programs such as Word to guide users through complex or repetitive tasks.
28-Aug: interesting #WIZ file found in #spam https://t.co/9CclTQS1Gp
What the new .wiz file campaigns look like
Among those tracking the .wiz file campaign were researchers at Trend Micro, who provided an example of what one of the spam emails looked like:
Email disguised as an invoice notification with malicious .wiz file attached. Source: Trend Micro
As with previous spam emails distributed via Necurs, the email itself is incredibly basic, with a subject line referring to an invoice and the simple body text "please find attached."
This is just one example. Necurs campaigns typically deploy a variety of different types of emails all based on a handful of basic templates. Specific subject lines and messages can vary, but they generally tend to refer to invoices, payment notifications, scans, sales requests, etc. If you're interested, we've collected a list of email subject lines and "lures" they've used, along with screenshots, here.
The attached .wiz files open in Microsoft Word, and contain an embedded macro in charge of retrieving and executing the second stage payload — in this case, Cobalt Strike Beacon.
The .wiz file attachment opens in Word. Enabling content triggers the execution of an embedded macro that retrieves and executes a second-stage payload.
Other similarities and differences from previous Necurs campaigns
The use of Cobalt Strike's Beacon marks an interesting departure from previous Necurs campaigns. Beacon is the payload for Cobalt Strike, a penetration testing framework used by red teams. It establishes a connection between target and attacker-controlled machines and facilitates the remote execution of commands, laying the groundwork for a broad range of attack activities.
While Cobalt Strike was designed to help red teams conduct valid penetration testing exercises, it has a history of being abused for criminal activity — most notoriously by a hacking group that security experts began referring to as the Cobalt Group after they were found utilizing the tool in real attacks targeting financial institutions.
Due to the manual work required to take advantage of a Cobalt Strike Beacon installation, however, the attack campaigns it gets (mis)used in tend to be small and highly targeted. Necurs campaigns, on the other hand, tend to be high-volume affairs. While many of this summer's Necurs campaigns do appear to be targeting financial institutions, in particular, they are still large enough for this to be a somewhat odd choice in payload.
That said, the connection between this campaign and previous Necurs campaigns is clear. For one thing, the embedded macro used in this campaign bears significant similarities to the macro used in previous Necurs campaigns that utilized malicious Microsoft Publisher files.

In addition, the Cobalt Strike Beacon payload utilizes the same code signing certificate that was seen assigned to the FlawedAmmyy RAT payloads in previous Necurs campaigns.
One potential theory regarding the use of Cobalt Strike is that this campaign may have been designed primarily as an initial test to validate the use of .wiz files in larger campaigns distributing other payloads further down the road. We'll be following events closely to see whether .wiz files become a regular go-to in attackers' rapidly expanding arsenal of legitimate file types they like to abuse or not.
Barkly blocks malicious abuse of .wiz files
Barkly customers are protected from these attacks thanks to Barkly's ability to observe and block suspicious process patterns. Unlike the majority of antivirus solutions, which are limited to signature matching and static file analysis, Barkly can step back, see the big picture, and understand that Office applications being used to launch command interpreters and download something from the Internet constitutes suspicious activity that is better off blocked.
In that way, Barkly serves as a crucial safety net, allowing admins to rest easy knowing their machines are protected even if end users (or AVs) get fooled by these otherwise legitimate file formats.

One of the big backup trends at the moment is to write backups to immutable storage. Immutable storage is widely regarded as one of the best ways to prevent ransomware from destroying your backups. Backups are a favorite target for ransomware gangs because attackers know that there is no reason for a victim to pay to regain access to their data if they can simply restore a backup instead. Immutable storage is seemingly a perfect option since it cannot be altered.
At the same time, though, it may theoretically be possible for ransomware (especially human operated ransomware) to destroy a backup, even if that backup resides on immutable storage. Now in all fairness, I have not heard of an attack like the one that I am about to describe being used in the real world, but I see no reason why such an attack couldn't work.
Security best practices have long stated that you should encrypt your backups. As such, the bad guys know that most organizations probably encrypt their backups. They also know that the encryption is tied to the use of an encryption key. Hopefully an organization maintains its keys in a well-managed vault, but not every organization handles key management in house. This is especially true for smaller organizations that might only need a small number of keys. Such organizations will typically just purchase keys online from a cryptography provider.
If you have ever used such a service, then you know that when you purchase a key the site almost always warns you to back up the key because there is no way to download a copy of the key in the future since the provider does not retain a copy.
All of this is to say that the key that is used to encrypt the backups could be thought of as a single point of failure. If the key is lost or destroyed, then there is no way for the organization to restore the backup. In other words, ransomware does not have to attack the backup itself -- all it has to do is to attack the key that was used to encrypt the backup. Having the backup stored on immutable storage will do nothing to help the situation.
This raises a couple of important questions. First, if ransomware attacks an encryption key then what's to stop the organization from replacing the damaged key with a clean copy? Technically nothing. In fact, this would be the preferred course of action. However, such a recovery would depend on the organization actually having made a backup copy of the key. It would also depend on them being able to locate the backup key and remembering how to install it. That's a tall order when the organization is already dealing with the stress of a ransomware infection.
The second important question is how ransomware (automated or human operated) could attack a backup encryption key in the first place? Quite frankly, it isn't always going to be possible for ransomware to attack an organization's backup encryption key, but there are situations in which it may be possible. For example, an attacker who gains elevated permissions might simply uninstall an encryption key. Similarly, there may be nothing stopping an attacker from deleting the key that was used to encrypt an organization's backups.
So how do you defend against this sort of thing? The best option is to make sure that you have an offline copy of your encryption keys stored in a safe place. It is worth noting, however, that just having copies of the keys is not enough by itself. There are a couple of other things that you are going to need.
Another thing that you will need is instructions for installing the key to your backup hardware or software. You never want to put yourself in a situation in which you are forced to guess as to how to recover from a data loss event. There should always be clearly written instructions that can guide you through procedures such as installing an encryption key.
The other thing that you are going to need, and this is the really important one, is something to protect your offline key copy. The moment that you mount the media containing your backup key copy, the key is put at risk. This is especially true if you have not completely cleaned the ransomware infection or evicted the attackers from your system. As such, it is extremely important that any encryption key copies be stored on write protected media so that those keys cannot be altered or deleted by an attacker. Remember, those backup copies of the encryption key are essentially your last line of defense and so you need to protect them at all costs.

Hello, not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. I'm trying to implement MAB authentication using Meraki Wireless and Cisco ISE. The Meraki AP isn't sending the "Call-check" field in the radius attributes therefore can't match MAB auth in my policy set.
I've logged a Meraki TAC case about this also. Has anyone come across this before. Did you need to implement a workaround, if so how did you go about it?

Software runs our lives. It certainly runs your business. What if I told you that this essential cog in your business’ operations can also be the thing that is most susceptible to being exposed by outside attackers? It’s true, software can be the very door that hackers and scammers need to get into your network and run amok. Let’s take a look at the unsung service that is patch management and why it is so important.
For the first years of managed IT services, patch management was more of a value proposition than it was a crucial part of the offering. Today, the script has officially flipped and it is no longer perfunctory, but crucial. This is because threats have changed. In fact, they’ve changed for both the business and its IT service provider.
MSPs and IT departments use software known as Remote Monitoring and Management (RMM) tools to cover all the ends of a business’ IT infrastructure and network. As the core software that allows IT experts to keep a watchful eye over their domain, IT providers were horrified to learn that hackers with a keen eye for opportunity, hacked into unpatched RMM software and were able to not only able to access that company’s information, but other companies that were being managed by the platform. These hackers exploited these vulnerabilities and injected malware into all managed systems. We don’t have to tell you, that’s not a good look for any service provider.
That’s just an anecdote, sure, but it goes to show what can happen if your software isn’t patched and updated properly.
Challenges of Patch Management in 2021
Managing software updates isn't a very easy process anyway, but with all that has happened recently, patch management has become extremely difficult. With growing complexities of remote workers, cloud platforms, the immense amount of software that an organization uses, and the rapid-fire updates being developed, it isn’t as simple as signing in and updating eight files once a month. You really have to stay on top of it to ensure that your network and infrastructure are properly protected.
A big challenge for IT teams concerning patch management is actually downtime. When software is patched, systems typically need to reboot. This can be a real hindrance to productivity if it is done while someone is working. Most IT administrators won’t make people restart in the middle of the workday, but then they have to remember to reboot these machines when they are not in use. Forgetting is just like not patching the system in the first place, so coordinating patches and reboots at a time when people aren’t working is its own challenge.
It’s a fact that most vulnerabilities that are exploited are over six months old. This tells you that somewhere along the way that either patches and updates were overlooked, or they weren’t properly coordinated in the first place. Combine all that wrangling with the fact that sometimes patches simply don’t “play nice” with corresponding systems and cause more headaches and hand wringing and you have a complicated and often frustrating task list that is just a fraction of the IT admins’ responsibilities.
The first thing you should consider is to understand all the software your company is using officially and ensure that you are up to date with all the relevant patches. Missing software updates, while probably not the end of the world for an individual, is a horrible practice for any business.
You’ll also want to schedule maintenance on some machines as soon as possible after official software updates are released and if there are no problems, schedule maintenance on all other machines the following week. The test group will go a long way toward exposing any possible hiccups you may be facing.
Software is extremely important to your business, and your business is extremely important to your employees and customers. In order to keep it that way, you will need to ensure that your software systems are patched and updated regularly.

Email phishing attacks are on the rise. While WVU’s Office of Information Technology is able to filter out the vast majority of these attempts, some may still make it through to your inbox.
A recent phishing attempt seen on campus appears to come from the Internal Revenue Service and requests the user click a link to review their tax statement. Never click on a link or open an attachment that comes in an unsolicited email. Doing so could open your PC to malware and expose you to identity theft.

Effective September 1, 2017, Senate Bill 179, commonly known as “David’s Law,” makes it a Class A misdemeanor and allows a temporary injunction against social media accounts used to electronically harass or cyberbully someone under age 18 through text message, social media, websites or other means with the intent of causing them to commit suicide or harm themselves.
The bill requires school districts to include cyberbullying in their district bullying policies, notify parents within 3 days if their child has been bullied, and notify the parents of the alleged provoker within a reasonable amount of time. Additionally, schools have the authority to investigate cyberbullying and to work with law enforcement on such investigations.
If a student believes they are a victim of cyberbullying/bullying or if a teacher or other school personnel have knowledge about an incident of cyberbullying/bullying, they should immediately report it to a campus administrator. Students and parents should also have access to an anonymous incident reporting.

Spending on cyber security around the world is expected to grow as high as 10 per cent this year, to US$60.2 billion, following claims that 2020 saw record high levels of data breaches, compromised records and ransomware attacks.
This is according to research firm Canalys, which said its 10 per cent growth forecast falls under its current best-case scenario, which is expected to occur under the assumption that established trends continue.
That prediction would see the first half of the year continue to be impacted by lockdown restrictions and furloughs, but vaccine approvals and vaccination programs would have a knock-on effect from the middle of the year onward.
In its worst-case scenario, growth is still predicted at a reduced percentage of 6.6 per cent to US$57.7 billion, which is under the assumption of a more severe hit to the global economy from lockdowns and new variants of the coronavirus. These spending forecasts come as malicious actors ramped up their attempts to breach users, the firm claimed.
According to Canalys, 12 billion records were compromised last year, with known ransomware attacks rising by nearly 60 per cent, referring to the figures as reaching an "all-time high". This surge was attributed to misconfigurations of cloud-based databases and phishing campaigns that targeted unsecured and “poorly” trained remote workers.
These numbers aren’t expected to diminish in 2021 either, as working and learning from home initiatives and accelerated digital transformation projects are expected to keep these trends going.
“The biggest threats are always those not yet known. The discovery of the SUNBURST advanced persistent threat campaign at the end of 2020, stemming from malicious code injected into the widely used SolarWinds Orion IT management platform and subsequent infiltration into other systems, highlights this,” said Canalys chief analyst Matthew Ball.
“Cybersecurity professional services engagements in response to this latest issue will be one of many factors contributing to sustained investment this year, especially in newer solutions to mitigate emerging threats.”
Canalys’ research also found that cyber security budgets have been resilient over the last year, but some renewals and multi-year deals were negatively impacted by workforce reductions and furloughs, particularly in the hospitality, retail and transport sectors.

While supply chain issues were felt in the hardware space earlier in 2020, these issues were largely alleviated as the year went on. Breaking down the subgroups of cyber security, web and email security were predicted to be the one of the top growth areas this year at 12.5 per cent in the best-case scenario.
Meanwhile, the largest growth subgroup as forecast to be network security, which is anticipated to grow by 8 per cent in the best case.
“Growth in add-on subscriptions providing new features, products to secure the cloud and delivered from the cloud, and upgrades to existing solutions will be key drivers for expansion,” Ball added. “The need for organisations to adopt multi-layered and holistic approaches, combining employee awareness training, data protection and backup, threat and vulnerability detection, and response will remain critical.”

As the change of passwords on a regular note could actually put online users into risk, tech giants like Microsoft are thinking to put an end to such usage. The American software giant has, in fact, started the initiative by secretly removing ‘password expiration’ theory where old passwords are no longer eligible for reuse after a specific period of time from the baseline of settings.
Traditionally speaking, security experts urge online users to change their passwords on a regular note as hackers can access sensitive info when the password info falls into wrong hands.
But now the security experts from the Windows OS developer say that periodic change of passwords does more harm than good.
Instead, they are insisting on building passwords which are of a minimum of 11 characters and are a combination of numbers, alphabets, and special characters.
A research carried out by the Redmond giant says that hackers have become sophisticated these days as they are able to crack encrypted passwords by using over 8 billion passwords junk over regular graphics cards.
Aaron Margosis, the Security Consultant from Microsoft said that users should only change their passwords only if they learn that their account has been compromised by various means. Unless and until this incident, they may go for strong passwords for longer periods of time.
Opting for a 2-factor authentication where unrecognized devices are required to sign-in additional passwords sent to a mobile phone or email; might also work.
But despite these comprehensive concerns, many choose not to opt-in, either because they aren’t aware of the current situation in the cyber landscape or believe that they will never ever fall into the books of hackers.
Note- ‘Password Expiration’ policy in Windows 10 which is found in the Settings-> security & privacy page allows system admins to change their passwords after a specific period of time. Also, they can set the settings to never change their passwords.

President Trump on Twitter yesterday morning: “Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded..”
President Trump on Twitter yesterday evening: “The fact that President Putin and I discussed a Cyber Security unit doesn’t mean I think it can happen. It can’t-but a ceasefire can,& did!”
The good news is that someone — H. R. McMaster, perhaps? — managed to get in front of the president and was able to explain why creating a joint “cyber security unit” with the Russian government is unlikely to work. As Marco Rubio said, “Partnering with Putin on a ‘Cyber Security Unit’ is akin to partnering with Assad on a ‘Chemical Weapons Unit’.” (I suppose in both cases that those men know a lot about the subject.)
Elsewhere, Bloomberg View columnist Leonid Bershidsky wonders if the concept of an international cyber-security agreement could be broadened to become a major international treaty:
Attacks on civilian services, and especially on nuclear plants, are a different matter. They are unambiguous acts of war. It is known that the U.S. is capable of them, and it would stand to reason that Russia wouldn’t let itself be outdone. Nor would China and, given that cyberweapons are relatively cheap to develop, smaller players such as Israel or North Korea. And yet there are no rules of engagement for countries that have the capability to shut off each other’s power grids or, say, traffic light systems. There’s no cyberwar equivalent of the Geneva and Hague conventions, which set rules for the treatment of civilians and ban certain kinds of cruel weapons.
In February, the United Nations Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2341 calling on states to arm themselves against terrorist attacks on critical infrastructure. But what about such attacks initiated by other governments, not terror groups? It’s time there were some internationally recognized principles that applied to them, defining, for example, what constitutes an attack, what response is permissible, and what can and cannot be done to civilian networks. It would be helpful to establish some international attribution mechanism; a nation’s intelligence services cannot be trusted to make an assessment that would be used to justify international sanctions.
That’s a really wonderful idea that will probably never quite work. For starters, just about every foe that the United States has fought since the Geneva Conventions were enacted has violated them, more or less without the slightest regard for them or hesitation: al-Qaeda, the Taliban, Saddam Hussein, Serbian paramilitary groups, the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong, the North Korean and Chinese armies, Imperial Japan, Nazi Germany . in other words, a rule banning a particular weapon or act doesn’t really prevent that weapon from being used or that action from occurring by itself. Past experience tells us that many countries would sign the treaty banning certain forms of cyber-warfare and then promptly ignore it.
(Every U.S. administration ignores international treaties that it finds inconvenient. In 2011, the Obama administration approved secret arms shipments to Libyan rebels and ordered NATO air and sea forces around Libya not to interdict the cargo planes and freighters transporting weapons into Libya from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, violating United Nations resolution 1970 banning arms transfers into Libya’s civil war.)
Back at the beginning of the Obama administration, after having the chance to meet some of the country’s top cyber-security experts, I wrote, “cyber-warfare is, generally speaking, more controllable than a biological weapon, doesn’t run afoul of as many established treaties as a chemical weapon, is nowhere near as expensive and visible as a nuclear weapon, and is much harder to attribute than conventional terrorism. It is another asymmetrical tool that allows weaker countries and groups to play on the same field as the big boys.”
It’s the deniability and ability to “mask” the origin of cyber-attacks that make them particularly tempting for malefactors, rogue states, and hostile superpowers alike. It’s a chance to sucker-punch your foe anonymously. Way back when, one of those cyber-security experts compared cyber-warfare by asking “how do you win a boxing match when you’re blindfolded?” The answer was “you put the boxer in a suit of armor.” The only real way to win the fight is to harden your defenses until they’re impenetrable and no one wants to step into the ring with you.
Bershidsky concludes, “Rules of engagement are still useful: Most belligerent parties aim to act honorably and avoid being branded as war criminals. Official cyberwar rules wouldn’t stop attacks, but they would define unacceptable behavior for all concerned.”
I don’t know how much I want to bet my country’s safety on other countries’ desire to “act honorably.” Fear of retaliation always struck me as a more effective deterrent. It appears now, far too late, some Democrats are expressing this philosophy more vocally:
Obama’s former national security adviser, Thomas Donilon, says as much in a new interview for The Global Politico, telling me there’s “no doubt about it” that Obama should have publicly pinned the blame on the Russians much sooner and taken more aggressive steps to retaliate.
Now he tells us.
Did Donald Trump Jr. Have a Lot of Time on His Hands, or What?
Boy, it didn’t take much to get a personal meeting with Donald Trump Jr., Paul J. Manafort, and Jared Kushner back in June, did it?
But on Sunday, presented with The Times’s findings, [Donald Trump Jr.] offered a new account. In a statement, he said he had met with the Russian lawyer at the request of an acquaintance from the 2013 Miss Universe pageant, which his father took to Moscow. “After pleasantries were exchanged,” he said, “the woman stated that she had information that individuals connected to Russia were funding the Democratic National Committee and supporting Mrs. Clinton. Her statements were vague, ambiguous and made no sense. No details or supporting information was provided or even offered. It quickly became clear that she had no meaningful information.”
He said she then turned the conversation to adoption of Russian children and the Magnitsky Act, an American law that blacklists suspected Russian human rights abusers. The 2012 law so enraged President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia that he halted American adoptions of Russian children.
“It became clear to me that this was the true agenda all along and that the claims of potentially helpful information were a pretext for the meeting,” Mr. Trump said.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi arrived in Mosul Sunday to announce victory over ISIS forces in the city.
“Al-Abadi said the battle is settled and the remaining pockets of ISIS are encircled in the last inches of the city,” his media office said in a statement.
“It is a matter of time before we declare to our people the great victory.”
The Prime Minister said the Iraqi military is fighting to free civilians whom ISIS is “using as human shields in approximately 50 to 100 houses.”
Video showed al-Abadi walking through streets in Mosul as crowds cheered him.
Mosul is Iraq’s biggest metropolis outside of Baghdad, and gaining control of the city was one of ISIS’ most significant strategic wins.
US backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) pushing into Raqqa on two fronts are now less than three miles apart from each other .
it could still be weeks if not months before they are able to fully liberate ISIS’s once self-declared capital, according to a US defense official directly familiar with the status of the fight.
Nonetheless, the US-led coalition has begun planning for an internal security force of local recruits that could “hold” Raqqa once military operations are over.
The retaking of Raqqa and Mosul won’t be the end of the Islamic State . but part of their “glamour” or appeal for lack of better terms was their ability to hold territory; this is what separated them from al-Qaeda and other Islamist groups. Pretty soon . they could look like just another group of jihadis, just with better branding.
ADDENDA: Michael Rodgers disagrees with me and contends conservatives should cheer for Calexit because of the obvious disaster that an independent California would become. Er, yay?

Warehouses are one of the most important parts of any business, no business can run without a proper, spacious, and risk-free warehouse for a smooth functioning of the business and safety of the goods and labor working inside the warehouse.
As we know the importance of warehouses, we also know that the warehouses are exposed to plenty of hazards and this is the reason why the business should be more careful and conscious about warehouse risk management and assessing the hazards that can arise, and also managing them beforehand is extremely important.
The hazards that are often dangerous for the warehouses are burglary, pilferage, theft, and various kind of unseen and unable to predict. Wholesalers and suppliers face a huge loss due to these risks and threats. If your business has a warehouse then you are responsible to manage the safety of your business, you should make sure that you assess all the possible and potential risks around your warehouse and problems involved in your warehouse. You can even hire a risk manager to effectively manage the possible hazards in your business and make it easier.
Water is also dangerous like fire only, it can destroy your complete warehouse in minutes, Flooding next, we will talk about floods, which once again caused huge losses to commercial houses. If your warehouse is located in a low-lying or natural disaster-prone area, you should be more careful. In this case, risk management can reduce the severity of losses.
You should be aware of flood warnings and remove materials as soon as possible. It makes sense to check the weather forecast or ask employees to do the same.
Secondly, you should also conduct regular flood risk assessments and inspections. Check if there are any parts in the warehouse that are highly vulnerable to flooding.
Do not keep the goods on the floor. If you have documents, etc., then keep them at a higher level where water wouldn’t reach most likely. You should also move machines, etc. for the same.
You can prevent water from entering the area by setting up permanent or removable barriers to seal floors, doors, etc. Hire someone to clean the drainage system and remove debris on a regular basis.
You should hire an electrician and raise the power socket and wires above the ground. You should also train employees to understand flood disasters.
Burglary & Theft
This is a very important reason why warehouse risk management is extremely important. Because there are so many things stored in the warehouse, it is often the target of theft and burglary. This is mainly due to the huge volume.
But with a proper risk management system, things can be controlled to a large extent.
Many employees have been involved in such theft cases. So you can understand that you usually need to deal with two types of threats.
In order to control this situation, you should take measures such as using separate areas for shipping and receiving.
All doors should be equipped with audible alarms. The door should remain closed most of the time. You should let your risk manager take care of this. Only authorized access should be allowed.
Visitors should be required to sign before entering the premises. In modern times, most warehouses have first-class monitoring systems. Nothing can beat the power of electronic security systems.
The register should also be maintained. All of these belong to the warehouse management system. Delivery drivers should not be entertained in the premises. If he does enter the warehouse, then he should be accompanied.
You can even install a video surveillance system to record activities so that you can always refer to the same content. You should install them at the entry point. Cameras should be placed to view entry points and internal areas to prevent theft, vandalism, etc.
In order to stay away from internal theft, you can set up an anonymous reporting system where people can complain without facing the impact or consequences. A background check is necessary.
Handling Environmentally Hazardous Substances
Sometimes, warehouses face losses due to hazardous materials. The warehouse shall comply with appropriate rules and regulations when storing or handling such hazardous materials.
These substances should be marked and isolated when needed. You should also use the correct procedures when distributing items. You should use the correct instrument for this. If there is a government guideline related to this, then you should also pass it. Obey the law and you can go.
In addition to the damage caused by fire and flood, there are various other factors that can cause product damage. This can be many things, such as improper storage of goods, improper handling of goods, incorrect temperature, etc.
To this end, certain measures should be taken, such as placing lighter items on the top, training employees to handle them correctly, and using other safety measures.

While I was checking my feeds the other day I noticed the article here from The Register. The gist of it is a Russian startup has a service that will disrupt torrents. The technical information is still sketchy, but here’s a quote of a quote from The Register article: “We used a number of servers to make a connection to each and every p2p client that distributed this film,” Klimenko says of the technology test. “Then Pirate Pay sent specific traffic to confuse these clients about the real I.P. addresses of other clients and to make them disconnect from each other.” Sounds suspiciously close to the old TCP spoofed reset denial of service from back in the day to me. Rather sending RST’s they’re just sending bogus IP info or something.
This seems like it would be on the wrong side of the law in some countries. Maybe not, could be a grey area. My thought: Is DoS-ing a service you (or your investors) think is wrong make it rightlegal? And let’s look at what a DoS is from wikipedia “In computing a denial-of-service attack (DoS attack) or distributed denial-of-service attack (DDoS attack) is an attempt to make a computer or network resource unavailable to its intended users. ” The Pirate Pay sounds like they’re DoS-ing a service to me. I’d be interested to hear what the community has to say? I don’t want to turn this into a “pro-piracyanti-piracy” debate, this more about the principal behind their approach: What do you think about a company using tools or techniques to disrupt operations or traffic on other users’ machines?

Researchers have found a way to use chaos to help develop digital fingerprints for electronic devices that may be unique enough to foil even the most sophisticated hackers.
Just how unique are these fingerprints? The researchers believe it would take longer than the lifetime of the universe to test for every possible combination available.
“In our system, chaos is very, very good,” said Daniel Gauthier, senior author of the study and professor of physics at The Ohio State University.
The study was recently published online in the journal IEEE Access.
The researchers created a new version of an emerging technology called physically unclonable functions, or PUFs, that are built into computer chips.
Gauthier said these new PUFs could potentially be used to create secure ID cards, to track goods in supply chains and as part of authentication applications, where it is vital to know that you’re not communicating with an impostor.
“The SolarWinds hack that targeted the U.S. government really got people thinking about how we’re going to be doing authentication and cryptography,” Gauthier said.
“We’re hopeful that this could be part of the solution.”
The new solution makes use of PUFs, which take advantage of tiny manufacturing variations found in each computer chip – variations so small that they aren’t noticeable to the end user, said Noeloikeau Charlot, lead author of the study and a doctoral student in physics at Ohio State.
“There’s a wealth of information in even the smallest differences found on computers chips that we can exploit to create PUFs,” Charlot said.
These slight variations – sometimes seen only at the atomic level – are used to create unique sequences of 0s and 1s that researchers in the field call, appropriately enough, “secrets.”
Other groups have developed what they thought were strong PUFs, but research showed that hackers could successfully attack them. The problem is that current PUFs contain only a limited number of secrets, Gauthier said.
“If you have a PUF where this number is 1,000 or 10,000 or even a million, a hacker with the right technology and enough time can learn all the secrets on the chip,” Gauthier said.
“We believe we have found a way to produce an uncountably large number of secrets to use that will make it next to impossible for hackers to figure them out, even if they had direct access to the computer chip.”
The key to creating the improved PUF is chaos, a topic that Gauthier has studied for decades. No other PUFs have used chaos in the way demonstrated in this study, he said.
The researchers created a complex network in their PUFs using a web of randomly interconnected logic gates. Logic gates take two electric signals and use them to create a new signal.
“We are using the gates in a non-standard way that creates unreliable behavior. But that’s what we want. We are exploiting that unreliable behavior to create a type of deterministic chaos,” Gauthier said.
The chaos amplifies the small manufacturing variations found on the chip. Even the smallest differences, when amplified by chaos, can change the entire class of possible outcomes – in this case, the secrets that are being produced, according to Charlot.
“Chaos really expands the number of secrets that are available on a chip. This will likely confuse any attempts at predicting the secrets,” Charlot said.
One key to the process is letting the chaos run just long enough on the chip, according to Gauthier. If you let it run too long, it becomes – well, too chaotic.
“We want the process to run long enough to create patterns that are too complex for hackers to attack and guess. But the pattern must be reproducible so we can use it for authentication tasks,” Gauthier said.
The researchers calculated that their PUF could create 1077 secrets. How big is that number? Imagine if a hacker could guess one secret every microsecond – 1 million secrets per second. It would take the hacker longer than the life of the universe, about 20 billion years, to guess every secret available in that microchip, Gauthier said.
As part of the study, the researchers attacked their PUF to see if it could be successfully hacked. They attempted machine learning attacks, including deep learning-based methods and model-based attacks – all of which failed. They are now offering their data to other research groups to see if they can find a way to hack it.
Gauthier said the hope is that PUFs like this could help beef up security against even state-sponsored hacker attacks, which are generally very sophisticated and backed up with a lot of computer resources.
For example, Russia is suspected of backing the SolarWinds hack that was uncovered in December. That hack reportedly gained access to email accounts of officials in the Department of Homeland Security and the department’s cybersecurity staff.
“It is a constant battle to come up with technology that can stay ahead of hackers. We are trying to come up with technology that no hacker – no matter your resources, no matter what supercomputer you use – will be able to crack.”
The researchers have applied for an international patent for their PUF device.
The goal of the team is to move beyond research and to move quickly to commercialize the technology. Gauthier and two partners recently founded Verilock, with a goal of bringing a product to market within a year.
“We see this technology as a real game changer in cybersecurity. This novel approach to a strong PUF could prove to be virtually un-hackable,” said Jim Northup, CEO of Verilock.

Germany’s BSI federal cybersecurity agency has warned the country’s citizens not to install Russian-owned Kaspersky antivirus, saying it has “doubts about the reliability of the manufacturer.”
Russia-based Kaspersky has long been a target of suspicious rumors in the West over its ownership and allegiance to Russia’s rulers.
In an advisory published today, the agency said: “The BSI recommends replacing applications from Kaspersky’s virus protection software portfolio with alternative products.”
It added: “A Russian IT manufacturer can carry out offensive operations itself, be forced to attack target systems against its will, or be spied on without its knowledge as a victim of a cyber operation, or be misused as a tool for attacks against its own customers.”
The warning does not appear to be based on any specific threat. Instead, however, it focuses on the notion that Kaspersky could find itself being used against its management’s will to harm instead of protecting its customers. The advisory noted, via Google Translate:
Antivirus software, including the associated real-time capable cloud services, has extensive system authorizations and, due to the system (at least for updates), must maintain a permanent, encrypted, and non-verifiable connection to the manufacturer’s servers. Therefore, trust in the reliability and self-protection of a manufacturer as well as his authentic ability to act is crucial for the safe use of such systems. If there are doubts about the reliability of the manufacturer, virus protection software poses a particular risk for the IT infrastructure to be protected.
Kaspersky, a stalwart of the consumer antivirus scene since its foundation in the late 1990s, denied – unsurprisingly – that it poses a risk to Westerners. Instead, it said the decision is politically motivated.
A company spokesman told The Register: “We believe this decision is not based on a technical assessment of Kaspersky products – that we continuously advocated for with the BSI and across Europe – but instead is being made on political grounds… Kaspersky is a private global cybersecurity company and, as a private company, does not have any ties to the Russian or any other government.”
He also added, without mentioning Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine and its indiscriminate killing of unarmed civilians as a result: “We believe that peaceful dialogue is the only possible instrument for resolving conflicts. War isn’t good for anyone.”
NSA dev in the clink for 5.5 years after letting Kaspersky, allegedly Russia slurp US exploits
Like US-sanctioned enterprise infosec firm Positive Technology, Kaspersky tried to soothe fears in the West by moving its European base of operations to Switzerland in 2018. This failed when the Dutch government said it was banning internal use of Kaspersky; both Britain and the US did likewise.
In America’s case, however, an NSA hacker’s carelessness proved to be Kaspersky’s undoing. Nghia Hoang Pho, who worked in the NSA’s Tailored Access Operations (TAO) unit, was in the habit of taking his work home with him. When he uploaded an exploit onto his home laptop in 2015, his Kaspersky antivirus functioned exactly as intended: it recognized the malware and uploaded a copy to Kaspersky’s servers.
Enraged, the US said Kaspersky had handed the exploit to Russia’s FSB spy agency, jailed Pho, and banned the use of Kaspersky across its entire government.
Days after the Pho story first broke, however, rumors (started by the New York Times newspaper) began swirling that Israeli spies had hacked Kaspersky only to discover (so the story went) the infosec firm was working hand-in-glove with Russian spy agencies. This explosive allegation served its evident purpose: Kaspersky was, as far as the US government was concerned, kaput, and its denials of espionage collusion fell on deaf ears.
The company has occasionally repeated its promise of setting up transparency centers, similar to how Huawei has dealt with suspicious Western countries. A page on Kaspersky’s website says potential customers can review source code through one of three pre-defined programs. These are said to include verification of binary equivalence (“rebuild the source code to make sure it corresponds to publicly available modules”) and details of Kaspersky’s Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for its consumer and enterprise products.
None of this appears to be washing in the West – and today’s announcement by Germany won’t help the company’s position.

Setup: This attack is attempting to exploit current efforts by the government to provide relief funds for small business owners affected by COVID-19 closures and shelter-in-place orders. Although the requirements vary by country, applicants do have to provide documents proving their eligibility. Since applicants are expecting email correspondence, this provides attackers with a unique opportunity to impersonate legitimate authorities and extract sensitive information from customers.
Email attack: The email itself is an automated message from the sender “[email protected]” which is an official Dropbox domain. The body contains a link to the file “COVID-19-Relief-Payment.PDF” with information about the size of the file, a brief description of the file, and an expiration date.
Payload: This attack is a two-step process.
The first step is the link provided in the email that leads to a standard dropbox transfer landing page with the enablement to download the file. After clicking on the download button, the page is redirected to a phishing landing page.
In the second step, the landing page contains an O365 image with a button to “Access Document”. This is where the intent is revealed, which is to gain access to the user’s Microsoft credentials.
Result: The moment the end-user inputs their credentials into the form provided, their Microsoft credentials on all accounts are compromised. Ultimately, this can lead to financial loss for the organization.
Why is this attack effective?
Urgency: The message “Heads up, this transfer expires in 4 days on June 10, 2020.” communicates to the user a sense of urgency, since if they don’t download the file within the given timeframe, the file will expire and they might assume that the opportunity to receive relief funding will be missed or delayed.
Convincing sender: Even for vigilant email-recipients who check the sender address, an automated message from the dropbox.com domain does look innocuous enough to at least click on the links provided.
Legitimate email headers: This is a sophisticated attack because, by using Dropbox Transfer to send files, it is not necessary to spoof headers since the sender name will come from the legitimate Dropbox domain. Not only does this bypass traditional mail filters but it also goes undetected by any existing web proxy and firewall controls. This is also extremely convenient for attackers because they can send the payload without ever having to verify if the targeted network is allowing an inbound SMTP or testing firewalls/proxies.
Expected correspondence: For users that have applied for relief funds, this type of correspondence would be expected since paperwork is required for the applications.

Researchers discovered a new Trojan family called “Venus” resides in the Google play store infected at least 285,000 Android users around the world.
There are 8 apps involved with the malicious activities in Android user’s device and it is mainly targeting the carrier billing and advertising area.
Malware Infection Process via Malicious App
Researchers observed that most of the data consumed by an application called “Quick scanner” which is protected by a library that encrypts and hides files.
Further deep analysis revealed that the apps have fraudulent code in compiled Android file and it processes the anti-reverse check after the file was imported and decrypted in memory in order to bypass Google’s detection.
“Venus is waiting for the right time to attack. The malware is able to register time after the application has been downloaded instead of being launched on the very first day.” Evina said.

I’ve written about online safety plenty of times, posted videos of me talking about this subject at a local high school, and even led discussions at parenting groups on the subject. There are a couple of problems with the topic, though, one of which is that each parent has a different perspective on how safe or unsafe the online world is for their children.
The bigger problem, though, is that our devices keep becoming more and more personal, which means that it’s getting increasingly difficult to keep an eye on things, whether you think you should be a heavy-handed online guardian or just someone who performs an occasional online audit.
For parents that believe the online world is safe and that statistics are on their side, well, I wish you luck. It might be true that looking at the numbers suggests the vast majority of kids are going to be fine online, I ask whether you’re okay with your 8yo son viewing hardcore pornography? Or your 11yo daughter reading about heinous crimes against women in foreign lands? Or your 14yo sharing the latest blatantly racist, homophobic or sexist “iFunny” post with their pals?
MEANWHILE, IN MY HOUSE…
With an 18yo, 15yo and 11yo, I’ve had plenty of experience wrestling with this topic in our house, and it’s been clear more than once that these devices are great at wasting time and distracting us, but not particularly beneficial. It’s just insidious because they’re such capable, multi-function devices.
My 11yo has an iPod Touch that she loaded up with games and some small number of social media apps. Her Instagram account is private and she only follows our friends, but does that make it a good idea? She has SnapChat, but only so she can SnapChat her sister. At least, that’s what she assures me. And she and her hi-tech buddy C- often FaceTime to chat about homework and school.
The streaming music side of things is problematic too. If she hasn’t earned any time to play on the device, she’ll still insist she wants it “for music”. Right? Wrong? Is there a way to disable everything but streaming music, now that I think about it? Probably not.
MODELING
An important factor in this discussion is modeling. I know I heard from my youngest time and again how it was unfair that every single person in the family not only had a smart phone — we’re an all iPhone family at this point — but that everyone was constantly on their devices. Except her. And that kinda stinks. Meanwhile our culture wants even little babies finding smart phones fun and entertaining diversions, as exemplified by the #1 best seller in the learning toys section of Amazon, shown above.
Here’s the hard truth: To raise children who have the self-control to balance their devices with involvement with the real world, we have to demonstrate the same behavior every single day.
Honestly, the fact that kids learn more from watching what we do than what we tell them to do is probably the hardest and least expected facet of good parenting!
Once your child has access to the entire Internet in their pocket, however, it’s a disaster in the making. From naughty Google searches to hours wasted playing mindless games, to inappropriate communications with friends — and that’s not just sexting or cyberbullying — to an inability to stay focused on any one thing for more than 90 seconds, it’s a dangerous lure, the siren song to them losing their way on the journey through the dark valley of adolescence into maturity, physical and emotional.
The solution is for us parents to figure out how we want to interact with our own devices, how present we want them to be in our lives, and then to help both model and teach a similar balance to our children too, whether they’re six or sixteen.
And that, my friends, can be damn hard.

Democratic lawmakers on the House Committee on Financial Services on 27 January 2022 outlined nine (9) provisions of the proposed America COMPETES Act of 2022 one of which has been criticized by the cryptocurrency community for potential privacy and due process concerns.
Committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters, D-Calif., says the America Creating Opportunities for Manufacturing Pre-Eminence in Technology and Economic Strength or COMPETES Act will "strengthen the competitiveness of the US economy and US businesses and counter anti-competitive actions taken by China."
See: https://redskyalliance.org/xindustry/sec-chairman-pushes-for-more-cryptocurrency-regulations
But the nonprofit crypto policy advocate group Coin Center warns that one provision, proposed by Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., would give U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen "unchecked and unilateral power" to ban financial institutions, including regulated exchanges, from engaging in transactions. Himes' provision, the committee said in a statement this week, "streamlines the process by which special measures may be introduced, and modernizes the authorities granted to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network by allowing the agency to pursue bad actors like those laundering the proceeds of Chinese ransomware and/or declared a primary money laundering concern due to support to North Korea's sanctions evasion."
Himes initially introduced the same provision to the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022. It would allow the Treasury secretary to utilize the Bank Secrecy Act which requires US financial institutions to assist government agencies in money laundering investigations to require such parties to report transaction details and potentially freeze accounts.[1]
Coin Center Executive Director Jerry Brito initially flagged the provision on Twitter this week, saying it "would be disastrous not just for cryptocurrency but for privacy and the due process generally." He claims it would also eliminate all public notice and comment requirements under the BSA. "It empowers the Secretary to prohibit any (or indeed all) cryptocurrency transactions (or any other kind of transaction) without any process, rulemaking, or limitation on the duration of the prohibition," Brito says on Twitter. He added, "It's time to call your members of Congress and ask that they take action to make sure that notice and comment and duration limitations are not removed."
In a full posting on its site, Coin Center Research Director Peter Van Valkenburgh and Brito elaborate on their concerns: "Like the unnecessary redefinition of 'broker' in the infrastructure bill last summer, the parts of this language aimed at cryptocurrencies are entirely unnecessary while the removal of procedures and the creation of unlimited administrative discretion is deeply consequential. "In other words, it is an attempt (deliberate or not) to use the moral panic surrounding criminal usage of cryptocurrencies … to strip our surveillance laws of all public processes. Even if you don't particularly care about cryptocurrencies, this encroachment on basic privacy rights must be opposed."
Ted Budd, a GOP congressman from North Carolina, also took to Twitter, claiming that the "unilateral" powers of the provision would do away with all public input and that he has offered an amendment to remove the language.
In addition, other blockchain security experts agree that lawmakers could be overreaching with the special measure. "The bill would undoubtedly give Secretary Yellen unilateral ability to ban digital assets transactions, provided she and her team at Treasury deem them a 'primary money laundering concern,'" says Michael Fasanello, who has served in various roles within the US Justice and Treasury departments, including for Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. Fasanello, who is currently the director of training and regulatory affairs for the firm Blockchain Intelligence Group, says, "This doesn't just apply to crypto. It applies to any financial institution regulated under the BSA and any transactions they facilitate for customers."
Regulation in the space has proven particularly challenging, given certain interagency jurisdictional boundaries. This week, it was reported that the White House is expected to issue an executive order outlining key priorities to rein in cryptocurrencies. The space was also the topic of several congressional hearings in 2021 when for the first time, crypto executives testified on the upside of digital currencies and their associated risks, or the existing regulatory void. SEC Chair Gary Gensler has been an advocate of comprehensive cryptocurrency regulation - calling the assets "rife with fraud, scams, and abuse."
The sentiment around crypto regulation has largely been split down party lines, with Republicans in favor of less-stringent measures so as not to curtail innovation. Some Democrats, on the other hand, including Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., have been outspoken critics of crypto's volatility and its state of cybersecurity, particularly in decentralized finance, or DeFi.
Recently, Singaporean crypto exchange Crypto.com confirmed that its platform had fallen victim to a multimillion-dollar cyberattack. In a postmortem entry on its website, Crypto.com confirmed that unauthorized withdrawals targeted the Ethereum and Bitcoin of 483 users with associated losses near $34 million, which the company says has been reimbursed.
The Federal Reserve published its long-awaited discussion paper on a central bank digital currency, or CBDC, for the US. In it, the Fed pointed to the innovative qualities of digital currencies, but stressed potential risks to the nation's financial system, including heightened cyber threats and privacy concerns.
The Fed said any CBDC design must consider privacy and ensure strong identification verification controls to stem money laundering and the financing of terrorism. It's currently open for public comment.

After it surfaced in 2013, CryptoLocker, a refinement of previously known versions of ransomware, has affected many by restricting user access by not just locking the system but also encrypting certain files - hence being called as CryptoLocker.
Since the discovery of this malware, the number of its victims has exponentially grown. In our October 2013 report, we have observed over a 30-day period that 64% of detected global infections were seen in the US. UK and Canada had their share of infections at 11% and 6%, respectively.
As with any ransomware, once the system is infected, the user is coerced to pay (a ransom) through online payment methods to regain computer usability. However, paying doesn’t guarantee access to the infected system.
Moreover, CryptoLocker infections put infected computers at an elevated risk of being rendered unusable. This is because once files are encrypted, almost all anti-malware tools are only able to remove the CryptoLocker variant from the system, leaving encrypted files unusable. Therefore, it is important to stop the CryptoLocker infection chain before it executes.
How does Cryptolocker arrive into users' systems?
The threat starts as a spammed message with a malicious attachment (in this case, detected as TROJ_UPATRE.VNA). Should users open the attachment, TROJ_UPATRE.VNA then downloads and executes cjkienn.exe. The said file is a ZBOT variant detected as TSPY_ZBOT.VNA.
Along with its malicious routines that include stealing online banking credentials, TSPY_ZBOT.VNA also downloads a CryptoLocker variant onto the infected system. This variant, which serves as the final payload, is detected as TROJ_CRILOCK.NS.
CryptoLocker then searches for files with certain file extensions to encrypt. The files it encrypts include important productivity documents and files such as .doc, .docx, .xls, .pdf, among others. This encryption will be discussed in the succeeding question.
CryptoLocker changes the system's wallpaper with a notice that informs user that their important files are encrypted.
To decrypt these files and make them accessible again to users, they are persuaded to purchase the private key for either US $300 or 300 Euro. In some cases, the payment demanded can go as high as US $500 of 500 Euro.
How does the encryption work?
Cryptolocker is notable due to how it encrypts the user's files – namely, it uses AES-265 and RSA encryption method - in order to ensure that the affected user has no choice but to purchase the private key. The encryption process based on our analysis looks like the following:
The RSA public key can only be decrypted with its corresponding private key. Since the AES key is hidden using RSA encryption and the RSA private key is not available, decrypting the files is not feasible as of this writing.
How does this threat affect users?
Users affected by this threat may find their documents inaccessible due to Cryptolocker's encryption. This may result in data loss as well as severely hampering the user's productivity if their system contains work-critical documents.
The fact that the Cryptolocker variant here is a payload delivered by a ZBOT variant means that the routines of that malware also affects the user. The said ZBOT variant may lead to financial loss, as the stolen online banking credential may be used to initiate unauthorized transactions.
Are Trend Micro users protected from this threat?
Trend Micro Smart Protection Network detects and deletes the known related malware if found in the system. Web reputation service detects the known malicious domains in this attack and blocks access to them. If CryptoLocker fails to access these sites, it cannot download the public key which is needed in encrypting files. Email reputation service blocks the known related spammed messages. In particular, the True File Type Filtering feature of ERS can alert users if the attachment is malicious.
In addition, Trend Micro products' behavior-based detection monitors the system for CryptoLocker infection. For more information on how to properly configure this feature, please coordinate with your Trend Micro contact person or customer service.
What can users do to prevent these threats from affecting their computers?
Scrutinize email messages carefully. Be wary of every email you receive, specially those from unverified sources. Users can do this by doing their research or communicating directly to the purported sender to confirm if they sent the messages.
Refrain from clicking links embedded in email. It is best to avoid clicking links in email. However if you need to, make sure that your browser uses web reputation to check the link. As an added precaution, you can use free services like Trend Micro Site Safety Center to verify the reputation of the site.
Backup documents. Users should also do well to back up their documents. The 3-2-1 rule applies here – three backup copies of your data, on two different media, and one of those copies in a separate location. Cloud storage services (like SafeSync) can help here.
Regularly update software. Though no known CryptoLocker and ransomware were found to exploit any software vulnerabilities, it is best to update your software with the latest security patch. This provides added layer of protection against online threats in general.
Install security solution. Using reliable antimalware solution can detect such threats even before it begins. Security solutions like Trend Micro can even block malware-carrying spam even before they can reach your inbox.
For organizations, it is important to review policies related to email attachments and impose a strict attachment blocking policies. It is recommended to discourage employees to send executables via email messages.
Another security measure that organizations can impose is to configure certain machines with limited privileges, in particular those that has specific functions, to decrease chances of users executing malicious applications.

'Tis the season to be buying and wrapping presents! Gifts have changed a lot over the years - and more and more children are given presents that connect them to the online world.
Whether it’s a games console, smart toy, or a wearable device - it's important to understand how to keep children safe while they use internet connected devices. Even if it's an old device that's being passed on.
It can be difficult to know the risks for every present your child receives - especially when they're new models - but we have lots of advice and tips to help.
Explore the device with your child and get to know the apps and games they're downloading and how they're using the different features. This will help you to set up parental controls which are appropriate for your child. Talk to them about recognising threats, bullying and inappropriate behaviour, and how they can use reporting tools to help them deal with this.
It would be very nice if, online, they wouldn’t say ‘Be careful who you’re talking to, they might not be who you think they are’, and instead they’re saying ‘If anything at all makes you even slightly uncomfortable, then you can talk to someone.
Parents and carers should have all the information they need to help keep kids safe online - but sometimes the specifics can be hard to find. That's why we've collected everything you need to know in our online safety hub.
The information is organised by topic, to make everything easy to find. We have pages for social media, online gaming and parental controls, explaining the risks and steps you can take to help keep your kids safe online. We also cover what parents need to know about topics such as sharing nudes, livestreaming, harmful content and reporting online safety issues.

This course aims to give an understanding of the mechanisms for implementing the programmer’s idealised laptop or computer. Assignments: There will be two programming assignments, which (in total) will contribute 25% of the all round mark for this course. D A Patterson & J L Hennessy, Pc Organization and Style: the hardware/software interface, Morgan-Kaufmann (Fourth edition) 2009. No certificates, statements of accomplishment, or other credentials will be awarded in connection with this course. Emphasizes the two most significant topics in architecture right now: memory hierarchy and parallelism in all its forms. Computer system organization and features also have an effect on energy consumption and processor price.
Senie’s book reveals, among other points, that permanent memorials will need to embrace this confusion and complexity so they are more than just markers of death they could be locations of hope where the future learns from the past. Laptop or computer architectures usually trade off standards, energy versus overall performance, price, memory capacity, latency (latency is the quantity of time that it takes for information and facts from one node to travel to the supply) and throughput. This unit will appear into a memory sort known as cache and will go over how caches improve computer system performance.
Queries are critical in a database, they are inquiries to the database that assistance us to get the facts we want. Books for Spring/Summer season 2016 offerings of this course are available in the following BCIT on the web bookstores. Microarchitecture: Otherwise recognized as computer organization, this kind of architecture defines the information paths, data processing and storage elements, as nicely as how they should be implemented in the ISA. Benchmarking takes all these things into account by measuring the time a laptop requires to run via a series of test programs. The common measurement when referring to energy consumption in Computer Architecture is MIPS/W (millions of guidelines per second per watt).
That exhaustively researched book tackles the creation and reception of public art, so it tends to make sense that just more than a decade later she focuses her interest on memorials, what are really a different kind of public art. Modern computer performance is generally described in IPC (instructions per cycle ). This measures the efficiency of the architecture at any refresh rate. All written data in this course can be produced readily available in alternative format with prior notification to the Center for Disability Solutions. The names can be recognized by a software program improvement tool referred to as an assembler An assembler is a computer system plan that translates a human-readable type of the ISA into a computer system-readable form.

Over the week of June 14, a lot of applications and websites experienced outages, creating problems for many companies until it was resolved. Not only did these outages create business continuity issues, they’ve also exposed just how vulnerable the internet is to these kinds of issues. Let’s take a look at what happened.
To begin, let’s review the situation at hand.
A Small Firm’s Challenges Created Significant Ripples Online
Fastly provides a content delivery network for numerous influential websites. Basically, they support a network of duplicate servers across 26 countries around the world so that websites can store data and content on them. The closer the user is to where the data is being stored, the faster it can be accessed, which is exactly why news sources use Fastly to ensure users don’t have to wait before they get their news.
However, on June 10, a large number of websites and applications went down, many of which ranking as some of the most popular on the internet.
While this outage was relatively quick to be resolved, it still caused significant business interruptions and cost countless millions of dollars. Pretty impressive, particularly when you consider that these damages were the result of a 75 percent decrease in traffic for approximately one hour. Additionally, it wasn’t as though these affected websites could switch to another service on a dime without some proactive preparations.
Let’s consider this scenario as indicative of a concerning factor in how the internet is now constructed.
The Concerns Underlying the Modern Internet
While a content delivery network (CDN) helps to support efficient content delivery, there are a few potential drawbacks that a CDN presents, despite their growing popularity online. First off, because the CDN draws from a central server, any issues in this server could easily render this content inaccessible. The same could be said of any cybersecurity issues that impact the central server.
CDNs offer considerable speed boosts and cost savings as compared to the undersea infrastructure that would otherwise be used to distribute content, but at the cost of vulnerability to any issues in the system’s backend processes.
Furthermore, because a lot of the internet’s software specifications are so open, a simple issue could impact millions or even billions of devices. Since it is far more often the case that the issue is a small one, tools like machine learning are now being used to troubleshoot and identify the root causes of internet outages.
Of course, not all businesses make use of a CDN. Many are now using cloud computing services to support their needs, but even these aren’t immune to issues. Some of the largest cloud providers—Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and Google—have been known to experience outages from time to time, creating challenges for the businesses that rely on them.
This is not to say that cloud services are useless. However, it is important that you understand the risks involved in all of your options. Advisors Tech can assist you in identifying your needs and customizing your IT to meet them.

Welcome! Follow our cyber reporter, Maggie Miller (@magmill95), and tech reporter, Chris Mills Rodrigo (@chrisismills), for more coverage.
KICK ‘EM WHILE THEY’RE DOWN: As hospitals face a surge in patients and critical equipment shortages stemming from the coronavirus pandemic, they are increasingly becoming the target of hackers who see health care facilities as easy prey.
Ransomware attacks, in which hackers lock up a network and demand payment to return access to these systems, have presented a growing threat to hospitals since January.
Experts expect these attacks to increase, and the threat has captured the attention of top intelligence lawmakers, who warn the coronavirus outbreak and the ransomware attacks amount to a perfect storm.
Senators weigh in: “A major policy focus of mine before the onset of this health emergency was the cybersecurity posture of the health care sector, where we often found major hospital systems ill-equipped to handle ransomware incidents and data breaches,” Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.), the vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, told The Hill in a statement.
“COVID-19 has only made that situation worse, with increased attacks and hospital resources stretched perilously thin,” Warner added.
Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), who expressed concerns following attacks on health agencies including the Department of Health and Human Services last month, told The Hill that he could see the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) having a role to play in protecting hospitals from cyberattacks.
“The administration must ensure DHS is rapidly compiling information on recent cyber activity and intrusions, developing and sharing best practices for protecting networks, and providing assistance to vulnerable and critical entities,” Bennet said.
Global threat: The threat of such cyberattacks is not fixed in one country. INTERPOL, an international police organization, issued a warning last month to its 194 member countries.
INTERPOL’s Cybercrime Threat Response team said in a press release that it “has detected a significant increase in the number of attempted ransomware attacks against key organizations and infrastructure engaged in the virus response.” “Cybercriminals are using ransomware to hold hospitals and medical services digitally hostage; preventing them from accessing vital files and systems until a ransom is paid,” the organization warned.
Some early victims appeared last month, including a public health district in Illinois that reportedly paid hackers a hefty ransom after facing a ransomware attack. The cost to regain access to their data totaled $350,000.

TRACKING THE VIRUS: Facebook on Monday unveiled a map with a county-by-county breakdown of people reporting coronavirus symptoms.
The map will be updated daily and is based on data from an opt-in survey Facebook is running with researchers at Carnegie Mellon.
The map shows counties across the U.S. by the percentage of people with symptoms, color coding each region with a shade of red. Lighter shades indicate lower percentages of people with symptoms, and a deep red indicates counties with 2.4 percent or more of people reporting COVID-19 symptoms.
Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the map could help give officials a sense of where resources may need to be directed.
“Understanding how COVID-19 is spreading is critical for local governments and public health officials as they allocate scarce resources like ventilators and PPE, and eventually to decide when it is safe to start re-opening different places,” Zuckerberg said in a post unveiling the map. “Researchers believe these symptom survey maps can be an important tool in making these decisions.”
Read more about the new tracking tool here.
JUST STAY HOME: Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Monday told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that protests of stay-at-home orders that violate state social distancing rules organized through his social media platform qualify as “harmful misinformation” and will be taken down.
“How do you deal with the fact that Facebook is now being used to organize a lot of these protests to defy social distancing guidelines in states?” the “Good Morning America” anchor asked Zuckerberg. “If somebody trying to organize something like that, does that qualify as harmful misinformation?” “We do classify that as harmful misinformation and we take that down,” Zuckerberg said. “At the same time, it’s important that people can debate policies, so there’s a line on this, you know, more than normal political discourse. I think a lot of the stuff that people are saying that is false around a health emergency like this can be classified as harmful misinformation.”
A spokesperson for Facebook told The Hill that the events would only be taken down if they violate state laws, meaning that many protests against social distancing guidelines could continue to be organized on the platform unless they break the guidelines themselves.
For example, pages for demonstrations carried out in cars that seek to block traffic are allowed to stay up. According to NBC News, several such events remain on the platform.
“Unless government prohibits the event during this time, we allow it to be organized on Facebook,” the spokesperson said. “For this same reason, events that defy government’s guidance on social distancing aren’t allowed on Facebook.”

REPUBLICANS PUSH BACK AGAINST FACEBOOK: Donald Trump Jr. and Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), two frequent critics of Silicon Valley, hit Facebook on Monday for taking down the event pages of some demonstrations organized against coronavirus stay-at-home orders.
A spokesperson for the social media giant told to The Hill Monday that it removed pages for protests in California, New Jersey and Nebraska after confirming with state governments that they would break social-distancing rules.
“We reached out to state officials to understand the scope of their orders, not about removing specific protests on Facebook,” the spokesperson said. “We remove the posts when gatherings do not follow the health parameters established by the government and are therefore unlawful.”
There have in recent weeks been several protests against measures taken by states to limit the spread of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
Those protests have largely used Facebook as an organizing hub. Many of the events are still up on the platform, including ones that tell protesters to stay in their cars in order to maintain social distancing.
Read more about their reactions here.
STATES IN NEED OF CYBER FUNDS: A coalition of major tech groups on Monday demanded that Congress send funds to state and local governments to defend against cyberattacks as part of the next coronavirus stimulus bill.
The Internet Association, BSA: The Software Alliance, CompTIA, the Cyber Threat Alliance, the Cybersecurity Coalition, the Global Cyber Alliance, the Alliance for Digital Innovation, and the Information Technology Industry Council sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) demanding that cybersecurity funds be made a priority in future congressional funding packages.
The technology groups represent companies including Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Adobe, Verizon, McAfee, Palo Alto Networks and many other leading cybersecurity organizations.
“The rise in malicious cyberattacks targeting State and local entities, combined with the chronic lack of workforce, patchwork legacy systems, under-sourced cybersecurity and IT services, and uneven federal assistance creates a greater risk of system failures that interrupts services on which State and local populations depend,” the groups wrote.
The groups pointed to particular concerns around the uptick in ransomware attacks over the past year on state and local government groups, with hackers locking up systems and demanding payment.
These types of attacks have brought the governments of Baltimore, Atlanta, and New Orleans to their knees in the past two years, along with small governments, libraries, and school districts nationwide.
Read more about efforts to boost cyber funding here.
CYBERATTACKS ON THE RISE: Cyberattacks targeting COVID-19 relief checks shot up in recent weeks, while hackers in general continued using the ongoing pandemic to prey on individuals, research released Monday by software group Check Point found.
Check Point reported seeing an average of 14,000 coronavirus-related cyberattacks per day over the past week, six times the average daily attacks seen in the second half of March. This number jumped further to 20,000 attacks per day since April 7.
The vast majority of these attacks were through phishing emails, in which a hacker tries to tempt the individual targeted to click on a link or download an attachment in order to access their network. Around 3 percent of the attacks were through mobile devices.
One key aspect of these attacks has involved targeting COVID-19 relief checks currently being sent out to the public by the Treasury Department as part of the $2 trillion stimulus package signed into law by President Trump last month.
Over 4,000 new domains related to the stimulus checks have been created since January, many of which Check Point classified as “malicious.” The company warned that users who visit these websites risk having personal information stolen or being exposed to payment theft and fraud.
“Where there’s money, there will also be criminal activity,” Check Point noted in its report. “Hackers and threat actors want to cash in on the rush to get these vital payments and fill their own pockets at the expense of others.”

Cybersecurity in the clinical research world is “a little bit special,” one expert says, because sites must deal with confidentiality, data privacy and integrity, as well as the breach notification process imposed by regulators. And never has the threat to trial data been so high.
Interpol, the Department of Homeland Security and IBM are warning about the efforts cyber criminals are putting into stealing COVID-19 vaccine and treatment data. “There is chatter out there among the bad guys, saying they were going to start getting really aggressive about going after healthcare,” says Melissa Markey, an attorney with Hall, Render, Killian, Heath & Lyman. “Believe me, that includes research, particularly around COVID-19 and especially in either treatment or vaccine development. Both of those are big targets right now.”
The Online Trust Alliance (OTA), an organization of various security firms, put together a list of core best practices that sites can use to develop a strategy for protecting trial participants’ personal information. The two most essential recommendations are to enforce effective password management policies and to follow the principle of least privilege, a concept the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency defines as providing only the minimum necessary access for the shortest duration necessary.
“As you go into the more sensitive information, you limit the access you can get in there,” Peter Sullivan, principal for the Sullivan Group, said in explaining so-called least-privileged user access. “That then limits the number of people who could get in there and open up a portal.” He said OTA also recommended that sites regularly attempt to hack into their own systems, require authentication for all incoming and outgoing email, and continuously monitor, in real time, the security of their systems and firewalls.
Sullivan said the complexities of trials — which include wearables, servers and medical devices — provide so-called touchpoints for hackers to seize trial participants’ private information and other trial data. But he warned that hackers won’t stop at sites.
“They could travel down the internet to the CRO, the sponsor and their systems,” Sullivan said. “They would have touchpoints where the backups are connected. And if you’re connected to the FDA or any other vendor, those could potentially be a portal for this information.” “One of the biggest [security challenges] that we’re seeing right now is when you go into any environment and you get access to Wi-Fi,” Sullivan said. “In our office, we have two Wi-Fis — a standard Wi-Fi for our clients that come in, and a corporate Wi-Fi that is bifurcated from our main systems.” Sullivan said an expert hacker could come to his office and potentially jump from one network to the other, “but we have IT people monitoring that to try and shut that down as quickly as possible.”
OTA’s recommended best practices, in terms of infrastructure security, includes implementing the Always On Secure Socket Layer (AOSSL) protocol to help ensure data exchanged between a wireless device and a website is encrypted. The organization said using Extended Validation Certificates (EVSSL) will help distinguish between legitimate websites and those being run by hackers.
OTA also recommended implementing Certificate Authority Authorization (CAA) to avoid issuance of unauthorized certificates for websites, and to deploy bot detection and mitigation to help prevent brute force attacks, which experts say could damage one out of every eight encrypted files — a devastating prospect for sponsors (CenterWatch Weekly, Dec. 7, 2020).
In terms of best practices for response readiness in case of a cyberattack, OTA recommends that sites perform a complete risk assessment of their operational processes and review their data stewardship practices. It also recommends establishing, and then confirming, relationships with data protection authorities, law enforcement and incident service providers.
“We’ve handled breaches before where, because of the nature of the breach we also have data integrity issues that require regulatory responses going to study sponsors, IRBs and the FDA,” Markey said. “When you’re dealing with the response, you’re going to need assistance that understands the entire scope of the regulatory framework. You’re also going to need a forensics firm that understands some of the unique software that we use in clinical research.” “Having a really good forensics team — one that really understands what they’re doing, knows how to do a good investigation, will find all of those little footsteps through the network and all of those little traps that the criminal bad guys left behind — is absolutely critical.”
Echoing Markey, the OTA suggested using forensics services to determine how a cyberattack occurred and if any additional vulnerabilities were present. Employees should also be trained in better password practices and in how to identify social engineering and other online scams. Markey also said sites should make sure that their systems’ and devices’ security patches are up to date.
Sullivan — who advises sites, sponsors, CROs, IRBs, clinical service companies and their affiliated vendors — said the trials industry is justified in fearing that hackers could penetrate a clinical site’s systems and steal PHI to identify trial participants, or worse. Such breaches could, by extension, be devastating to sponsors, who would not only be vulnerable to fines by regulators, but also lawsuits from investors if their drug timelines are interrupted.
All entities in the clinical trials space should consider the monitoring of their systems a 24/7/365 obligation. “Technology is moving very quickly, but we sometimes forget that we don’t have all of the correct software or controls in place because we are moving health information via wireless or the internet,” he said.
While there are no general privacy or data protection laws at the federal level in the U.S., to date, four states — California, Maine, Nevada and Vermont — have enacted their own laws to protect consumer information. Markey said clinical trial sites should “keep in mind that a lot of times these laws don’t look like, on first blush, to apply to clinical trials — but they end up applying to clinical trials because we are dealing with data in different ways now, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
“We are using electronic collection of data in different ways now, and we’re using websites. So, some of these [state] website rules now do apply in clinical trial settings, and we have a lot more enforcement agencies looking at research and trying to make sure that we’re doing the right thing for privacy and security activities in the research space,” Markey said.
EU and European Economic Area (EEA) citizens who participate in clinical trials are protected by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which took effect in 2018. The law gives trial participants control of their personal data and covers the import and export of such data outside the EU and EEA. Aurea Flores, director for research quality, regulatory and compliance with HonorHealth Research and Innovation Institute, told the conference that despite the UK’s decision to leave the EU, it still plans to comply with the GDPR.
Sullivan said he recommends that his clients carry cyber liability insurance, some of which could provide $1 million in coverage or more. Such coverage could provide funding for loss of profit, forensic and legal services. Markey concurred, adding that insurance premiums are much lower than the cost of recovering from a cyberattack. “If you get the right policy, that can actually give you a better return on investment than if you go out and grab whatever policy is out there,” she said.
“Basically, just continue to test, respond and develop a plan,” Sullivan said. It’s not a question of if, but when, the hack occurs.”

Internet Explorer 9 scores 99-100%.
NSS Labs, an independent network testing facility, has tested 5 most popular web browsers against the socially engineered malware, resulting in more controversy and flame wars all over the Internet.
Although some claim that results are sponsored by Microsoft, Rick Moy, the president of NSS Labs, said that while Microsoft did hire them to benchmark various web browsers few years ago, it was only to improve Internet Explorer’s security. However, after seeing some positive numbers, it was only then sent to the marketing department to do their thing.
IE9 achieved a unique URL blocking score of 89% and over-time protection rating of 92%. Enabling Application Reputation on top of SmartScreen increased the unique URL block rate of Internet Explorer 9 by 11% (to 100%) at zero hour as well as the over-time protection by 8% (to 100%). Internet Explorer 9 was by far the best at protecting against socially-engineered malware, even before App Rep’s protection is layered on top of SmartScreen.
Firefox 4 achieved a 13% protection rating, on par with protection offered by Chrome and Safari — 86% less protection than Internet Explorer 9 and 77% less than Internet Explorer 8. Firefox exhibited deterioration in protection compared with our Q3 2010 global test that can be attributed to either the implementation of Safe Browsing API v2 or new tactics being used by cybercriminals that Safe Browsing has not yet adapted to. There was a slight 1% improvement between zero-hour protection (16%) and eventual protection at the 19 day mark (17%).
Safari 5 achieved a 13% protection rating on par with Firefox and Chrome converging at a roughly 17% block rate after 19 days. However, Safari presented a notable lag in protection vs. Firefox with zero-hour protection of 11% (vs. Firefox’s 16%).
With a protection rating of 13%, Chrome 10 offered nearly identical protection to Safari and Firefox.
Opera 10’s overall blocking rate of 5% was consistently the lowest in the group. However, this was an improvement over the 0% scores in our previous global tests, and is likely attributable to the company’s partnership with antivirus firm AVG.
Anyhow, we would like to hear your thoughts about the results. Sponsored and untrustworthy or legit and worth a mentioning?

Privacy guaranteed. We never share your info.
Of course this test was done by NSS Labs (funded by MS every year for this). NSS Labs every year publish a similar bullshit table claiming IE v XYZ blocks the malwares most. :)
Don’t get me wrong, IE9 is a great product and is a step in the right direction but still it lags behind other browsers in terms of functionality and customisability.
People shouldn’t believe in these Bullshit tests (like what NSS Labs does) and use their own mind while browsing. No browser can save you if you’re devoid of common-sense.exe.
You can easily realize how unreliable NSS Labs is by simply reading that report. Here is the most ridiculous part:
“Ultimately, 650 URLs passed our post-validation process and are included in the results, providing a margin of error of 3.84% with a confidence interval of 95%.”
With IE8, they, NSS, said it was the best, malware blocking wise. All else said differently, at the time. IE9 now is out and has better security, making the results more trust-worthy, but not enough to consider them straight. These results are still very questionable.
They should share the URL list, the advantage would be it’d be good for filter’s to know and blacklist the sites, and there’d be a benefit to NSS’s reputation as to what they used and whether it is confirmable.
and as well it is entirely possible that this test sux – but i’d like to see some more reason to say like that – nss had shaky reputation and MS as a previous sponsor, but on the other hand IE9 is a reaaaaaly good piece of software, that put emphasis on this type of malware from the get go – it is as well that they’ve managed to be really good at it.
what made me laugh – no matter what the test, no matter how the results are ‘unprofessional’ – opera as always is trailing the pack. it will be less than a day before certain Blog Comment Manager writes some witty and not at all misleading rant about yet another ‘bad test’. maybe one in a while opera should learn from their shortcomings instead of covering them with cheap rhetorics of their prestigious censors?
One of the primary protections offered by a good anti-virus is url-blocking, which aims to prevent the malware reaching the pc in the first place. When an antivirus program detects a virus, the originating url of the file is sent back to the vendor and it’ll be blacklisted. This makes sense, and AVG’s sizable audience would lead you to expect a reasonable score in this test.
So from where does Microsoft get its list? They would have to scan the entire Internet to find the bad downloads, and while Microsoft has a lot of resources, I don’t see this happening. Google are in the business of scanning the Internet though, so it’s perfectly reasonable for them to have a good list for use in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.
They could also be examing gray areas where it’s difficult to define whether or not the program is malware (would the Zwinky family count?). I should not have to take this sort of swipe against the test, but as they methodology and list of testcases isn’t released, it becomes impossible to trust.
Microsoft: “We’ve just tested IE9 against malware. It tests 90% better than all other browsers with a score of 100!”
microsoft is the company that had to tackle with malware, spyware, crapware, shitware and animated binders for decades – and boy, they are good at it now. also, they have bing, not entirely small search engine.
that makes this result entirely possible.
Mr nobody… How can IE9 surpass a browser with malware protection from AVG, Netcraft AND Haute Secure?
I have nothing against IE, but I have all against NSS Labs tests.
well, for once you should at least provide a theory why you don’t believe these results. ‘i don’t like them’ is not enough.
ms being artsy at deceptive marketing or not – people need to adapt to a world when IE is a good browser and in some aspects actually better than long standing kings. it took them ages but they’ve finally managed it
Lots of comments here explain why the test can’t be trusted (extremely low sample size, impossible to verify, no url list, the fact that IE block nearly everything and other browser nearly nothing being extremely suspect, etc.).
I don’t know why people are discussing whether IE is a good browser or not when this is about the NSS Labs test. IE8 and 9 (9 in particular) have had some major problems with site compatibility, but that’s probably just down to those not being the #1 browser right away unlike other IE versions.
Bottom line, don’t trust poorly conducted tests funded by Microsoft. Microsoft will be happy to lie.
“For clarity, the following definition is used for a socially-engineered malware URL: a web page link that directly leads to a download that delivers a malicious payload whose content type would lead to execution, or more generally a website known to host malware links. These downloads appear to be safe, like those for a screen saver application, video codec upgrade, etc., and are designed to fool the user into taking action. Security professionals also refer to these threats as “consensual” or “dangerous” downloads.”
I think it’s safe to say that unless you’re an idiot who runs random .exe files these results are irrelevant.
Of course, I’m well aware that a big number of people (most?) are in fact idiots and do run random .exe files.
Remember when they claimed that Opera had updated itself automatically during the test, even though they were using a version that didn’t even support automatic updates? LOL.
And as someone mentioned, they could be using as little as 10 sites for this test! It’s pseudo-science at its worst. No wonder NSS Labs was thrown out of the security testing standards organization.
When downloading Foxit reader version 5 (quite recently released) IE9 marks it as unsafe and one has to click a lot in order to actually run the installer. I wouldn’t call that security – it just shows that they have no f**cking clue about what’s OK or not.
Besides that people who can’t protect themselves shouldn’t really do *administrative* tasks on computers. It’s like saying I treat myself of hepatitis by reading blogs on the internet.
If the browser was won by a browser whose parent company did not pay for the test, the test would have been much more trustworthy.
But even with that, the test is just pseudoscientific, unverifiable nonsense. There are major problems with the methodology (the sample size could be as small as 10 sites, etc.), and there’s no way for independent parties not paid by Microsoft to verify the data.
My guess is that no other browser vendor would dare to be caught red-handed publishing a terrible test like this.

Social media platform Twitter has failed to protect the privacy of users’ data for six years and has been ruled by the Justice Department and the Federal Trade Commission in the US to pay USD 150 million in penalties.
The regulatory bodies claim Twitter didn’t comply with a 2011 FTC order and deceived users about how it protected the privacy and security of non-public contact information, between May 2013 and September 2019. Throughout the time, Twitter told its users that it collected their email addresses and phone numbers for account security purposes but failed to disclose that it also used the information to enable companies to send targeted online ads to users on the platform.
Moreover, Twitter falsely claimed that it complied with US privacy agreement with the European Union and Switzerland which prohibit companies from processing users’ personal data in any other ways than the one specified and authorised by them.
According to the lawsuit claims, these practices affected over 140 million users out of a total of 229 million users worldwide, while significantly boosting the platform’s primary source of revenues.

Hackers gained access to test results of almost 2.5 million patients and compromised about 600,000 Social Security numbers, Enzo Biochem Inc. revealed in a government filing.
The Farmingdale company provides medical tests through its Enzo Clinical Labs unit via nine service centers in Suffolk County and five in Nassau, according to the company website. Additional locations are in the five boroughs of New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut and upstate New York.
The company previously had revealed the ransomware attack in an April filing, but Tuesday's update was the first to disclose details on the kind of data compromised and the number of customers affected.
The latest filing said the company also is "evaluating whether its employees' information may have been involved."
There was no indication whether the company had complied with the hackers' demands and a spokesman for the company said it would have no comment beyond the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
By clicking Sign up, you agree to our privacy policy.
The cybersecurity breach comes as Enzo Biochem is in the process of selling the assets of its clinical labs unit to Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, widely known as Labcorp, for $146 million in cash.
That deal was announced in March and Enzo Biochem shareholders voted to approve the deal last month.
“With the support of our shareholders for the asset sale, we look forward to … maximizing shareholder value," Enzo chief executive Hamid Erfanian said in a statement after the vote.
A spokesperson for Labcorp, with revenue of $14.9 billion in 2022, could not be immediately reached for comment.
The clinical labs unit accounted for 70% of Enzo's revenue in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2022, according to the company's annual report.
The company's products unit, which markets life sciences test platforms to research and pharmaceutical companies, accounted for the remainder.
Last week, Enzo filed an updated notice with the New York State Department of Labor outlining plans to lay off 258 Long Island employees at its clinical labs unit in connection with the sale to Labcorp.
In April, a shareholder lawsuit was filed against Burlington, North Carolina-based Labcorp in connection with two previous cybersecurity incidents, including one where patient data was disclosed.
The Enzo incursion is the latest high-profile cybersecurity incident on Long Island. Previous victims have included Suffolk County and Veeco Corp., a Plainview-based manufacturer of tools for makers of LEDs, semiconductors and data storage devices.
Shares of Enzo fell 0.45% to close Thursday at $2.19, while Labcorp stock edged down 0.04% to $212.44.

The FBI’s Next Generation Cyber Initiative is facing financial roadblocks.
In the wake of FBI Director James Comey’s July 8 testimony before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence — in which he emphasized that the agency’s ability to battle encryption has never been more critical — a report released Thursday by the FBI Office of the Inspector General indicates the bureau is failing to meet some projections in its flagship effort to bolster cybersecurity.
The NGCI was launched in 2011 on the heels of an OIG audit that addressed the FBI’s preparedness for a national cybersecurity threat. It set staunch expectations for establishing cyber superiority: Lawmakers appropriated $314 million to 1,333 new personnel to staff cyber task forces at 56 field offices around the U.S., and additional funds were devoted to developing new training programs.
Although the report acknowledged the FBI has made progress, it said the bureau has failed to meet a number of important benchmarks. It didn’t fill 52 of the 134 computer scientist positions it was authorized to create. Critically, five of the field offices did not even have one computer scientist.
The reasons for this, the report claims, are not complex: The pay doesn’t cut it.
“The recruitment and retention of cyber personnel is an ongoing challenge for the FBI … private sector entities are able to offer technically trained, cyber professionals higher salaries than the FBI can offer,” the report stated.
The report also cited the FBI’s exhaustive background check system as prohibitive for many qualified candidates.
“[T]he FBI loses a significant number of people who may be interested because of the FBI’s extensive background check process and other requirements, such as all employees must be United States citizens and must not have used marijuana in the past 3 years, and cannot have used any other illegal drug in the past 10 years,” it says.
These factors result in an exaggerated “funneling process,” where recruitment events that attract scores of applicants result in piecemeal job offers.
“[T]he process may start with a recruitment event attended by 5,000 interested candidates, [but] the inability of candidates to meet the FBI’s specific eligibility criteria reduces that number to approximately 2,000 eligible candidates,” the report reads. “Subsequently … only about 2 candidates out of such a group are actually hired by the FBI.”
In a response to the audit, Joseph M. Demarest, associate executive assistant director of the FBI’s Criminal, Cyber, Response and Services Branch, defended the bureau’s efforts and assured that the FBI would continue working diligently toward arraying a fully manned cybersecurity division.
“The FBI will continue to develop creative strategies for recruiting, hiring and retaining highly skilled cyber professionals,” he said.

FedEx Corp confirms it has suffered a malware attack on Friday and said its Windows-based systems were “experiencing interference” due to malware and that it was trying to fix the issue as quickly as possible. Computer systems at companies and hospitals in dozens of countries were hit Friday, apparently part of a huge extortion plot. The so-called ransomware attack appears to exploit a weakness that was purportedly identified by the U.S. National Security Agency and leaked to the internet. It encrypts data on infected computers and demands payment before the information is unencrypted..
A cyberattack that is forcing computer owners to pay hundreds of dollars in ransom to unlock their files has hit almost every corner of the world. This is the biggest ransomware outbreak in history.
Security experts from Kaspersky Lab and Avast Software say Russia was the hardest hit, followed by Ukraine and Taiwan. Researchers believe a criminal organization is behind this, given its sophistication. Russia’s Interior Ministry says it has come under cyber attack. Agency spokeswoman Irina Volk says in a statement carried by Russian news agencies that Friday’s cyber attacks hit about 1,000 computers. She said the ministry’s servers haven’t been affected. Volk also said that ministry experts are now working to recover the system and do necessary security updates.
Russian media also said that the Investigative Committee, the nation’s top criminal investigation agency, also has been targeted. The committee denied the reports.
Megafon, a top Russian mobile operator, also said it has come under cyberattacks that appeared similar to those that crippled U.K. hospitals on Friday.
Microsoft has released fixes for vulnerabilities and related tools disclosed by TheShadowBrokers, a mysterious group that has repeatedly published alleged NSA software code. But many companies and individuals haven’t installed the fixes yet, or are using older versions of Windows that Microsoft no longer supports and didn’t fix.
Hospitals in the U.K. and telecommunications companies in Spain are among those hit by a “ransomware” attack that locked up computer data and demanded payment to free it. The attacks use a malware called Wanna Decryptor, also known as WannaCry.

There is a very long tradition of hacking your own stuff in the security community, but when it comes to hacking yourself, Marie Moe is in a different league. Dr. Moe, who is now a senior security consultant at Oslo-based cybersecurity firm mnemonic, has also served as a scientific researcher at SINTEF and a professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). But an even more interesting thing about Dr. Moe - who has a pacemaker installed in her body - is that she became very curious about its security profile.
Five years ago in 2015, about four years after getting a BIOTRONIK CardioMessenger II pacemaker put in her body, Marie initiated the Pacemaker Hacking Project. The main focus at the time was to understand how the very device her life depends on would withstand outside security scrutiny. In short, Marie wanted to know whether someone could hack her heart.
Pacemaker devices are a big industry, with an estimated one million of them installed in patients every year. Remote data-gathering and transmission over the Internet is now standard issue. This usually involves a home monitoring unit that is issued to the patient when they are sent home with a new pacemaker. So all of these patients are at risk of having their medical data extracted.
As even security beginners know, when you connect a device (or devices) through a public communications network, care must be taken not to expose the system to attacker-in-the-middle attacks. This is particularly concerning when it comes to medical data that directly impact a patient's life. Apparently, the pacemaker in question sets up its communications particularly poorly.
