The first ransomware attack inspired other cybercriminals to launch similar attacks using programs they coded themselves. However, attacks were relatively rare until the internet became mainstream in the early 2000s. The rise of online technology made distributing ransomware to targets around the world much easier.
Email became the delivery method of choice for ransomware developers. Phishing email blasts sent to a large number of recipients worked well until increasingly smart spam filters began filtering them out. This forced cybercriminals to develop targeted spear-phishing campaigns to outsmart that technology.
Encryption Changes the Game
As the delivery became easier, the ransomware itself became more sophisticated. By the mid-2000s, increasingly complex encryption algorithms, such as RSA encryption, with increasingly larger key sizes, made identifying and cracking ransomware such as Krotten, Gpcode, and Archives virtually impossible. These attacks also looked incredibly convincing. A 2011 ransomware worm that locked PCs and displayed an imitation Windows Product Activation notice, was the world’s first large-scale ransomware attack.
In 2013, the game-changing CryptoLocker was released. Targeting businesses, it spread quickly through downloads from compromised websites and email attachments made to look like customer complaints. This ransomware used state-of-the-art asymmetric key cryptography to encrypt user files until they surrendered hundreds of dollars for an encryption key. If they didn’t do so within a set time period, their data was destroyed. Click here for more information on CryptoLocker and other ransomware examples.
Ransomware Today
Last year, 5,948,417 ransomware cases were reported. While this is down slightly from 2017 figures, that’s no reason to become complacent. While attacks on individual users fell, attacks on businesses increased.
Modern cyber criminals are increasingly unlikely to target businesses with ransomware programs they’ve written themselves. Instead, they rely on more sophisticated off-the-shelf libraries that are much tougher to crack. With these tools available, modern cybercriminals don’t need to have the technical skills of ransomware pioneers. Tech-savvy cybercriminals are making money selling these ransomware-as-a-service programs rather than orchestrating their own attacks. CryptoWall, one of the best-known ransomware brands, has made its creators more than $320 million.
From humble beginnings, ransomware has evolved to become more sophisticated over time. While modern ransomware is a substantial threat to businesses of all sizes, putting the right strategies in place can help minimize your organization’s risk of becoming a victim.

The vulnerability in WordPress File Manager could allow a malicious actor to take over the victim's website.
A popular plug-in for WordPress is the subject of a zero-day vulnerability that may expose more than 700,000 sites to malicious exploit. The WordPress File Manager plug-in is generally used to allow website users to upload image files, but a flaw in the plug-in's file type checking could allow a user to upload a file with an embedded web shell. That web shell could then be used to launch a site takeover against the victim.

Kevin Finisterre isn't the type of person you expect to see in a nuclear power plant. With a beach ball-sized Afro, aviator sunglasses and a self-described "swagger," he looks more like Clarence Williams from the '70s TV show "The Mod Squad" than an electrical engineer.
But people like Finisterre, who don't fit the traditional mold of buttoned-down engineer, are playing an increasingly important role in the effort to lock down the machines that run the world's major industrial systems. Finisterre is a white-hat hacker. He prods and probes computer systems, not to break into them, but to uncover important vulnerabilities. He then sells his expertise to companies that want to improve their security.
Two years ago, Finisterre, founder of security testing company Digital Munition, found himself swapping emails with a staffer at Idaho National Laboratory's Control Systems Security Program, a project funded by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security that is the first line of defense against a cyberattack on the nation's critical infrastructure.
Finisterre caught the attention of INL in 2008, when he released attack code that exploited a bug in the CitectSCADA software used to run industrial control environments. He'd heard about the INL program, which helps prepare vendors and plant operators for attacks on their systems, and he thought he'd drop them a line to find out how good they really were.
He was not impressed.
Is INL already working with the hacker community? Finisterre wanted to know. He received an off-putting response. The term "hacker" denotes a person of a "dubious or criminal nature" who would "not be hireable by a national laboratory," an INL staffer told him via email.
"He basically lectured me about how INL doesn't interact with hackers and I should be very careful throwing that word around," Finisterre recalled. "I was like, 'Dude, I really hope you're joking, because you're supposed to be at the forefront of the research on this."
Call it an early skirmish in a culture clash between two worlds: the independent security researchers accustomed to dealing with tech firms such as Microsoft and Adobe, who have learned to embrace the hacker ethos, and the more conservative companies that develop and test industrial control systems, who often act like they wish these white-hat hackers would go away.
Earlier this year, Dillon Beresford, a security researcher at the consultancy NSSLabs, found a number of flaws in Siemens' programmable logic controllers. He had no complaints about the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Industrial Control Systems Cyber Emergency Response Team, run out of INL. But he said Siemens did a disservice to its customers by downplaying the issues he'd uncovered. "I'm not pleased with their response," Beresford said earlier this year. "They didn't provide enough information to the public."
ICS-CERT was set up two years ago to handle the kind of bugs that Beresford and Finisterre are now finding with ease. The number of incidents funneled through ICS-CERT has increased six-fold in the past few years, from dozens of issues to hundreds, according to Marty Edwards, director of the Control Systems Security Program and the person in charge of ICS-CERT.
"The reason we're seeing such an increase is because, quite frankly, SCADA and industrial control systems [have become] cool," he said. "Things like Stuxnet have raised the attention level that industrial control systems and critical infrastructure systems are getting."
For many hackers, industrial systems are a new frontier in their technical explorations. For others, they're a throwback to the early days of hacking, before PCs became the primary target. Finisterre started out on the telephone system when he was growing up in the small town of Sidney, Ohio. "In the early '90s my mom thought I was messing with the phones at our house, but it turned out that someone was tampering with the phone switch remotely. I ultimately went on a quest to help my mom fight the phone company claims that 'Your son must be doing something to cause all these faulty charges,'" he said.
Nearly 20 years later, as a professional security researcher, he grew bored with the run-of-the-mill software bugs he was finding and turned to industrial systems. That's what led to his work finding holes in CitecSCADA. "It was like an instant transport back to my high school days," he said,
There are signs that he is not alone and that the floodgates are about to open. ICS-CERT is currently working on about 50 known issues, but two researchers from the commercial sector say they've found hundreds more, some perhaps unimportant, but others potentially serious.
Billy Rios, a team lead in Google's security group, and Terry McCorkle, a member of the Information Security Red Team at Boeing, were having drinks together in February when they decided to take a close look at the type of industrial software Finisterre and others have been hacking. They wanted to see how many bugs they could find.
Working on their spare time, they downloaded as many industrial software packages as they could -- nearly 400 altogether, from Siemens, Rockwell Automation, Iconics and other vendors. All of them were freely available on the Internet. They set themselves a goal, to find 100 bugs in 100 days. But the pickings were so good they hit their target in three weeks. "We didn't even go through all the software we had, not even close,' McCorkle said.
In the end they found 665 issues in server software, driver packages and the Windows-based HMI (human-machine interface) software used to manage the machines on factory floors. Rios and McCorkle rate most of the bugs they've found as "non-critical," but they say about 75 of them could be used by criminals to damage an industrial system. "There's no single class of vulnerabilities that we nailed; it was just all over the board," Rios said.
"Anyone can do this, basically, if they just put the time into this and get an understanding of how this works," Rios added. "It's not like you'll find a bug here and there. It's just like if you put the time into it, it's pretty ridiculous what the results are."
Edwards, the man in charge of ICS-CERT, acknowledged that the group's workload has exploded since it was started in 2009. "We've seen a 600 percent increase in the number of vulnerabilities that have been coordinated and worked through the ICS-CERT," he said. The allure of industrial control systems means more researchers are now focusing on that area, he said.
The situation is reminiscent of what happened to Windows a decade ago, when hackers began picking apart Microsoft's products, McCorkle said. Industrial vendors are "basically just 10 years behind the curve on security. It's like we're going back to the '90s," he said.
When researchers first turned to Microsoft in the late 1990s, the software maker was caught flat-footed. It was only after several years of antagonism between Redmond and the hackers ripping apart its software that Microsoft figured out how to work with hackers.
Researchers became so tired of the issues they uncovered being ignored that they started to release the technical details in order to force Microsoft to release a patch. The idea of this pattern happening over again in industrial systems is worrying. It's an area where a security flaw could lead to a chemical spill or a widespread power blackout, and where it can take months to schedule and install patches.
Just this week, a researcher named Luigi Auriemma sent the ICS-CERT team scrambling when he published details on four new vulnerabilities in industrial products, something he'd already done several times in the past year. Auriemma, an independent researcher in Milan, believes posting technical details is the quickest way to get things fixed. "Full disclosure is the best way to get attention on this matter," he said in an instant-message interview.
One former INL staffer who worked at the Control Systems Security Program during the time Finisterre released his Citec code says that there were problems in the early days. "Industry has already had difficult interactions with the 'hacker' culture when these first few vulnerabilities for industrial control systems surfaced a few years ago," said Robert Huber, co-founder of Critical Intelligence, an Idaho company that does research into industrial systems threats. "Back then, the vendors were completely unprepared for these disclosures," he said in an email interview.
But Huber thinks things are improving. "Many security researchers have worked with the vendors, or through an intermediary, to disclose vulnerabilities," he said. "Now, that said, the sheer number and interest may drive more researchers into the space to make a name for themselves without following the disclosure process, resulting in more vulnerabilities that are not coordinated.

As enterprises look to equip their workers with rich new functionality, they are increasingly relying on networks to provide resilient low latency connectivity that supports the different requirements of a wide portfolio of enterprise applications. Starting from the relatively simple proposition of hosting data and apps in the cloud, it’s clear that enterprises now rely on networks to provide ubiquitous, always-on connections to enterprise systems and applications. If those aren’t in place, the business can’t operate so the stakes are very high.
The focus there is on traditional connectivity, which is either available or unavailable at the capacity needed. However, as big video applications are increasingly adopted because of their ability to support high-definition collaboration technologies and better performing virtual desktop services for both fixed and mobile workforces, enterprises need more flexibility and the network to understand and dimension itself for the differing needs of the specific applications. As 5G comes to market, it can address many of the concerns enterprises have had in adopting these technologies for mobile workers.
Traditionally, mobility has meant relying on Wi-Fi or patchy 4G/LTE coverage and rich, bandwidth intensive-applications such as high-definition videoconferencing, have not been widely seen as enterprise-grade in the mobile world because of this.
5G can be a critical enabler of these services and enable true enterprise mobility because of the vastly greater bandwidth, lower latency and likely 100% coverage at 50Mbps it will provide. The experience available away from the fixed network will be, at last, at a similar level and that will sustain desktop apps for workers on the road.
In addition, user applications are becoming far more immersive experiences with applications such as augmented and virtual reality routinely being utilized. These necessitate ultra-high reliability and very low latency, along with traditional requirements of security and full coverage. The more dependent a business becomes on these technologies, the more reliant on the uptime of the network it becomes so carriers can play an increasingly important and more highly monetized role in supporting and providing enterprise applications with 5G.
Far from being just a dumb pipe, the carrier actually becomes a highly intelligent enabler of critical business infrastructure. This is particularly so with the increasingly popular software-defined WANs (SD-WANs) that enterprises are deploying because 5G has sufficient capacity and resilience to provide an additional diverse path to support SD-WAN, providing greater choice and coverage, particularly for remote sites. Support for services such as SD-WAN should be viewed separately from other enterprise traffic because the answer here isn’t to provide unlimited 5G bandwidth for every enterprise application to access. This will be both costly and wasteful as inefficiently managed connectivity will swamp even the 5G network with unoptimized traffic that hogs bandwidth and degrades user experiences while costing the enterprise a disproportionate amount. However, selecting 5G as an alternate path for SD-WAN traffic, which can be managed appropriately, is a viable option.
Traffic needs to be treated according to its requirements so the demand it places on the network is optimized. New approaches such as network slicing can aid this efficient utilization. For example, a network slice designed to support a multi-party high definition video-based collaborative working app can configure the network in such a way that the performance requirements of the app are met with minimized impact on the network, freeing up bandwidth for utilization by other slices.
In addition, new technologies such as virtual and augmented reality (AR) will increasingly be utilized to enhance enterprise productivity. Workers will use these technologies to aid them in performing their jobs and these may take the form of head-up displays presenting remote workers with information to assist them in the field. For example, AR glasses might present a circuit diagram to engineer repairing plant equipment in the field or present an interactive instructional video session. 5G will be critical infrastructure for this and many other enterprise applications, many of which are still under development.
This new wave of enterprise applications creates far more complexity in the network as the demand profile of service fragments. In this new landscape, carriers have a more extensive opportunity to apply their network monitoring – and other – capabilities to assure services and monetize 5G effectively. Enterprises will be happy to enable the monetization of 5G because the networks will be providing a new level of value to them that goes beyond simply providing connectivity. In fact, carriers will be the providers of a transformed enterprise infrastructure that, in turn, forms the foundations of enterprises’ own transformations as they servitize traditional products enabled by 5G-powered IoT apps and tools such as virtual and augmented reality, machine learning and artificial intelligence.

As enterprises adopt cloud services and seek out a cloud access security broker (CASB), the use cases they are pursuing are maturing. They are moving well beyond log-based discovery and looking to govern usage, secure data, and protect against cloud threats.
Netskope customers have deployed Netskope’s ALL-MODE architecture (with nearly three-quarters of them going beyond a single mode) to achieve their most critical use cases. We have noted 15 of these use cases in our recent e-book, The 15 Critical CASB Use Cases, and we’re highlighting them and more (and we want to hear from you too!) in this blog.
Here’s use case #2: Govern cloud access by device type.
Organizations are adopting cloud apps and suites in record numbers. The most popular, Office 365, has taken off like wildfire, for the first time topping the list for most-used apps in the enterprise, even inching ahead of Facebook, according to the latest Netskope Cloud Report.
However, one of the biggest things holding organizations back from adopting apps and suites like Office 365 in a wholesale way is governance issues, especially when it comes to the myriad device types accessing the suite. As an aside, when we here at Netskope deliver Cloud Risk Assessments to our customers and prospects, they are often surprised by the number of unique devices accessing their cloud services – the number is often at least 2-3x the number of users on the network.
When it comes to downloading sensitive business plans or non-public financials, many organizations are fine to have that content accessed or even downloaded by an authorized user on a managed device . IT knows it has a reasonable chance of protecting that content on those devices. However, what’s not acceptable is giving full access to a suite of productivity apps to a user on a BYOD or home device. Some of our largest organizations in the financial services, retail, healthcare, utility, and other vertical industries are using Netskope to segment access by device type, classification, or other attribute. One of the world’s largest retailers describes this as “swim lanes:” They provide users on unmanaged devices access to web-based email only while users on managed devices get access to the full suite. A third group, hourly workers accessing via corporate-provided iPads, are allowed to access to Yammer, and are beholden to a few activity and data policy constraints.
To achieve this use case, the enterprise must deploy in an inline mode as either a forward or reverse proxy. Those who need to cover sync clients use a thin app to steer cloud traffic in a forward proxy mode, while those who provide browser-based access can achieve their use case in a reverse proxy. Here are five critical functional requirements needed to achieve this use case:
Understand different authentication federation protocols across Office 365 and other suites
Be able to detect device, as well as device attributes such as classification (e.g., “managed” vs. “unmanaged”)
If sensitive data is part of the use case, detect sensitive data, e.g., “confidential”
Be aware of context, e.g., activities such as “upload” and “download”

What’s less impressive is the lack of improvement in disaster recovery success rates. I would encourage you to do the research on organization’s ability to achieve RTO and RPO objectives without issues or significant issues.
Depending on your level of Disaster Recovery (DR) maturity, success rates range from 2%. Yes that’s right 2%, rising up to 69% for those with the most mature DR capability. Only 1.5% of businesses have the highest level of maturity.
Most organizations find themselves in the 4-15% recovery success rate range.
Other reports that I’ve seen for testing indicate 65% of businesses are failing to meet their DR test objectives – let me declare now, that report was published in 2014. Yesterday I found another report from a competitor where the scores were coming in at around the 50-60% DR success rates.
Why is recovery performance so poor?
The truth is, DR for a mid to large size enterprise is hard to deliver if your IT environment is complex and hybrid. This explains why, despite the current IT fashion to talk about digitization, AI, The Internet of Things blah, blah – good old DR is still amongst the highest ranking enquiries going into some IT analyst firms.
Disaster Recovery is difficult to perform well. In fact, for a mature medium sized enterprise with a mix of legacy and new IT/applications you are really up against it.
First – do you really know what your IT estate is comprised of. From our experience when assessing customer needs, it would seem many don’t. It’s not been accurately documented so how do you recover what you don’t know about? How do specify what your IT recovery needs are?
Secondly – There is a good chance the new sexy new apps currently in your development environment will to some extent be reliant on some of your old physical IT, that does much of the day to day grunt work. So despite the promising speeds of back up / recovery software. Your RTO and RPO performance could still be determined by your older kit.
Third – If you are recovering from a Malware attack – you may well need a DR environment that isn’t connected to the internet so that you don’t re-infect yourself when rebuilding your IT. This gives you the space and time to ensure it’s Malware free before connecting it back up to your business.
Fourth – you and your team spend much of your time on day to day tasks. There isn’t the time to accurately document your IT changes and this is made worse by IT staff leaving and taking “their” change knowledge with them.
The key to resilience success is to do it in a way that doesn’t hold back business growth. It must still let you exploit new business opportunities in new markets and geographies quickly, with minimum capital expenditure and in the shortest time scales to stand up your production and recovery IT operations. It must also offer the best end user experience whilst still being compliant to local data protection laws.
These operational requirements therefore spell the end of the on-premise data centers for all but the wealthiest businesses who can still afford to simultaneously build production and recovery data centres in target markets.
Unless you get to grips with Resilience and DR (i.e. having the ability not only to recover but also to protect and quickly retrieve data when needed), you are going to fall behind in competitive terms.

When HADOPI published a report earlier this year claiming that ‘illegal downloading [is] clearly on the decline in France’ directly because of its graduated response (three-strikes) policy, commentators were quick to question the assumptions. Dr Monica Horten, author of the IPtegrity blog, said this is not an absolute decline. “France Telecom has seen a dramatic increase in streaming traffic... [and also] noticed a marked increase in levels of encrypted traffic since the Hadopi notice-sending began. This could be an indication that users are choosing to use encryption to hide their unauthorised downloads,” she wrote.
LINX Public Affairs concluded that “France may have implemented one of the world’s most costly and overbearing copyright enforcement regimes for little apparent gain.” Cost versus gain has resurfaced now in comments by Aurélie Filippetti, the current minister of culture, given to French publication Le Nouvel Observateur. Pierre Lescure (a former CEO of the Canal+ television channel) has been appointed to look into French digital culture – and especially the French film industry.
The consultation will be wide, “and will address topics as varied as the price of digital books [and] the evolution of the image rights for photographers. Nothing is forbidden. This mission is not centered on Internet Piracy or the post-Hadopi,” said Filippetti. But the magazine pressed on HADOPI, and was told three things: HADOPI has not fulfilled its mission to develop legal alternatives; “in financial terms, 12 million euros a year and 60 officers” is an expensive way to send a million emails; and internet disconnection is disproportionate.
The new consultation is not due to report until next March, but Filippetti has warned that she is likely to cut funding to HADOPI in September. This has led TorrentFreak to suggest that the interview “spells bad and possibly fatal news for the country’s 'three strikes' anti-piracy scheme.”
IPtegrity’s Horten explained to Infosecurity that the consultation was first announced back in May, but is now starting in earnest with the naming of Pierre Lescure. She notes that Filippetti is ‘political’ in her answers to the magazine. Although the clear impression is that she is not happy with HADOPI, she declines to prejudge the consultation. However, Dr Horten told Infosecurity, “we should remember that in opposition, the socialists fought tooth and nail against the HADOPI law, tabling and debating hundreds of amendments before Sarkozy’s majority got it through.” It should be no surprise, then, that the future of HADOPI is now being questioned.

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), one of the largest professional services firm in the world and one of the Big Four auditors has partnered with uPort, a digital identity platform based on the Ethereum blockchain and with Onfido, a global identity verification provider to explore portability of consumer identities in the financial services sector in the UK and beyond.
Multi-national financial entities are obligated to be KYC compliance (Know Your Customer) and apply AML (Anti Money Laundry) standards, which is expensive and time-consuming process for both the financial entities and clients, leading often to customer drop-off and poor customer experiences. The recent PwC and uPort partnership will reduce compliance costs for financial firms.
The ability for customers to use their digital identity to on-board seamlessly with financial firms will be game-changing. It opens up access to financial services, helps reduce fraud and is instrumental in drivingmore competition into the U.K. banking ecosystem.
The Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates (CBUAE) has unveiled its plan to launch a new digital currency as part of its 2023-2026 strategy plan to become one of the world’s top 10 central banks.
In its announcement, the CBUAE said that its strategy includes seven objectives, including the issuance of the digital currency – known as CBDCs or Govcoins – and driving digital transformation in the UAE’s financial services sector by utilising the latest artificial intelligence and big data solutions.
The strategy will also see technology used across inspection, monitoring and insurance systems, in addition to utilising the UAE’s digital ID infrastructure (UAE Pass) to bolster financial inclusion and easy access to financial services.
The UAE and some of the other Gulf economies have talked about introducing digital currencies at some stage. By making it part of its 2023-26 roadmap, the UAE regulator has set a clear timeline.
This is a powerful example of transparency, digital efficiency and disintermediation, as Indian farmers connect directly with the UAE’s food industry (food processing companies, traders, and wholesalers). This reduces the role of intermediaries, and makes supply chain and traceability efforts more efficient. Other services on the platform include accounting, contract, and regulatory compliance services, which reduces bureaucracy for all involved.
Agriota platform was developed by CropData Technology, an Indian company whose mission is to help marginal and small farmers.
If you have a copy of a car game on your mobile phone, it loads a copy of its files locally into the phone’s memory so when you launch the game your mobile phone wills search for those files and execute them so you can play the game. Likewise if you have a copy of a movie, song, or something else.
The decentralized application is designed to store files on the Blockchain network instead of storing them on your phone. Suppose that this car game is a decentralized application, then all copies of this game will be stored on the blockchain network.
The decentralized application also provides a fertile environment for developers, giving them high security and fast access, and instead of creating applications within the limits of a single device, they can be created within the limits of a huge potential network.
The EOS project aims to provide a convenient, easy-to-use platform for all decentralized application developers, based on blockchain technology. EOS was designed to be the platform for decentralized applications, similar to the iOS operating system for iPhone applications, and the Windows operating system for computer applications. This depends on developing the blockchain technology itself into a comprehensive market and a user friendly option.
The EOS platform was created based on the verification model, as all computers on the network verify the number of tokens or codes each participant possesses, and the more the participant owns more currencies the more role he plays in storing and resolving data, which is known as proof of work.
This system is similar to the Bitcoin mining system, but it does not consume much energy and does not require much potential.
Buying an EOS coin is like buying any other blockchain coin. To start with you should choose an electronic wallet to store your EOS assets, generally the best way is to store your digital assets or your coins in an offline wallet. There is a wide variety of EOS wallets out there.
If you want to buy EOS currencies to develop decentralized applications, you can go to the EOS Blockchain platform and create an account using the “EOS Account Creator”, then pay a certain amount to access the development platform.

Weird. B is a virus that reaches computers in a PE file, which can also act as a backdoor type Trojan.
Weird.B goes memory resident and at regular intervals, it looks for files to infect. It infects files by copying its code to them, increasing their size by 10240 bytes.
Weird. B can also establish a connection from the affected computer to another computer. This will leave the affected computer vulnerable to remote attacks.

I just want everyone to know that the exam questions out there in any book or resource dated for the 2015 format did not adequately give me what I needed to pass this exam. The exam questions to me were so vague most of the time I was just shaking my head trying to make sense of them. I truely think the exam has changed it's question format prior to the April deadline! I tried to take the exam before April thinking the questions will be related to the 2015 materials. All the materials everyone mentioned including Transcenders... are a Dud as far as I'm concerned. There are waay too many mind warping questions that are subjective to concepts that are not brought about clearly in the questions. All I can say is good luck! Don't be too frustrated when that 700 Bucks wash down the drain! I think it's doable exam if all the especially when all the so called "Best" answers are chosen. I plan to just keep at it and see if some more materials come down the pipe then make another go at it.
You can't assume because you failed others will as well. Obviously people have and will continue to fail the exam. But, you can't brainwash someone to thinking they are going to fail prior to taking it. It's probably more pass posts than fail posts.
What people FAIL to realize is that no (practice) question is going to be exactly like the exam. That is called a braindump. Google braindump. So, the expectations of passing by reading and taking a practice test has limitations. I think the definitions and concepts are what's going to lead someone to success. If you know the difference and fundamentals behind a DRP and BCP, no matter how the question is worded you'll know right from wrong. This is not a (insert vendor here) exam. They are not going to give you questions like:
In my mind, if the exam is structured like that the exam is easy. One answer is obviously right and three are obviously wrong. But, either you know it or you don't. The same for the CISSP exam. All I can say is, the syllabus is never wrong. I wasn't behind you during the exam but I can promise you everything was mentioned on the syllabus or didn't count towards your overall score.
You can go back on the internet and hear people talking about the CISSP "Best" answers from 5 years ago. That is nothing new. That means you didn't do your research.....
For every post like yours that say this practice question or this book didn't help prepare them I can find three that said it did. Either way..
Someone studying for 6 months on and off will most likely will not perform as well as someone who is studying 3 months of intense focused and consistent study.
Someone with experience in one area will most likely not perform as well as someone with well rounded positions over the years.
The point is, no matter the material if 2015 or 2018 the concepts don't change. Hashing algorithms and cryptographic methods dont change in the span of 2 years. Businesses Continuity and Disaster recovery dont change either, these are best practices that have been tried and proven for the past 15+ years if not more. Same applies to attack methods and attack vectors, Networking and IAM and the rest of the CISSP domains.
So saying that the material you used is the reason you failed is a bit harsh I think.
Take it from someone who recently took an exam where I used a lot of the knowledge from the CISSP domains to pass it and I passed it in 2015.
Try to understand the concepts and get familiar with the concepts in different ways, use multiple sources not just one book.
I'm not expert on the subject, but most people I talk to say the it took them 2 or 3 tries to pass the CISSP. It's one of the mostly commonly failed certification exams in the industry. So I wouldn't give up because you failed on your first attempt. Pick yourself up, and hit the books again for your next attempt. Yes, the $700 down the drain is hard to swallow, but when your ready to attempt the CISSP, you should have 5+ years IT experience under your belt. You should be earning enough in this point in your career that $700 should not be a financial hardship.
Still searching for the corner in a round room.
Just went to the new CAT based exam 3/8/18, didn't pass.
I had the impression I study the wrong books. Very few technical questions and the few, I had, weren't in the books.
I have CISCO and MS certification, and never found a exam that looked so different to test exams.
It appears that the key to pass the exam is not on having technical knowledge, instead you need to be agile with the language, or find the right test to be prepare. On too many occasions I wasn't sure what they meant.
At this point, not sure how to proceed as reading the books again will not help, if somebody who passed the test can advise with some test that look alike the exam.
Your background probably has more to do with the perceived difficulty than anything else. Everyone I've known that was a really technical person or had a really technical background struggled with it and failed their first attempt, even as recently as last year. I think it's more the mindset, and sometimes trying to answer from what you think is the best answer, rather than what (ISC)2 thinks is the best answer.
I also agree with TheFORCE. Most of the people I know that attempted that did the 6+ month study routine against my advice and failed. I always recommend a MAX of 3 months, but ideally you should have 1-2 weeks of intense study followed by a week or two of flashcard and practice exams, followed by another read through of the material over the course of a few weeks. Long, drawn out study sessions often leave you forgetting what you read in domain 1 by the time you get to the last domain.
As the other guys have said, get into the ISC2 mindset, get the hang of "the best answer". It's not really a technical exam, don't try to tackle it like a MS exam.
If the transcender exams are any indicator, I think it's been getting a bit harder over the years.
Failure is the mother of success. The most important thing is learning from your failure which make your 700 Bucks worth for something rather than nothing.
Maybe some people just got lucky, but I believe most those who has pass the exam they have spend a significant effort in preparing the exam.
I like the current CAT format which is less "lengthy" and test really your knowledge on the topic (rather than overcoming fatigue in answer 250 question and review again and again in 6 hr). I have been in the industry for close to 20 years, different field of work and I do admit the exam is not an easy one but it's not extremely difficult if you really have the knowledge. Actually I have only use 1-2 weeks to prepare for the exam using the official guide.
It's not fear of failure. Don't see the success in studying one thing and then be asked about another.
The only new thing ISC2 is providing is the code of ethics, all the rest are bits of IT.
"Act honorably, honestly, justly, responsibly, and legally."
The difficulty in the exam it was in the way of asking things, not in the knowledge. How is that making you a better security professional?
The Official study guide and the test exams should reflect/prepper for the exam. My concern is that I trusted ISC2 Official study guide and what I found in the exam was different (had the impression of doing another exam).
Its unfortunate that your exam experience was such a terrible one. In my opinion, the key to passing this exam lies in how well you know all of the concepts within each of the eight domains.
It is an exhaustively long list of concepts but if you have slaved over the content offered by various resources then when it comes to giving the "best" answer, you will know it. As always, the devil is in the detail! What I really liked about this exam, is that it tends makes you call on your "gut feeling" sometimes which will only come about if you have been in the field, on the tools, in the industry for a while and have had exposure to certain things.
@mydingoman, you can see a change in your tone just since your original post. Sure it stings and we all know how you feel. You're a fixer and you solve problems in your day-to-day life. Me too. I get it.
I took the exam on the 12th and felt like I was failing during the test. However, I knew immediately what areas I was going to hit on the retake. If you're being honest with yourself, you know what areas you were weak in too. Plus, you should have your printout to help you identify those areas.
This is a very time-consuming and expensive endeavor. Failing sucks because of what it does to your ego and confidence. I purchased a Windows 10 voucher for a very cheap price that was expiring in 10 days, two years ago. Crammed for the test and failed it. And I deserved to fail it. I went in thinking "oh, I know PowerShell from my previous exams and will be fine." Guess who didn't know PowerShell and wasn't fine? The point being concentrate on your weak areas but still keep reviewing your strong areas too.
We didn't get into security to learn about BCP/DRP and the Software Capability Maturity Model. Quite frankly, they aren't the most exciting topics in the world. But guess what? You've GOT to learn them for this exam. And I'm not just talking about "I Really Don't Mind Oranges" [if you watched Kelly Handerhan's videos, you'll get the reference]. Learning an acronym and recognizing the terms isn't enough. How do we know an organization is at the Defined stage of the SW-CMM? What are the characteristics? What items identify an organization is at this level? You've got to really delve into these things.
I feel like if you cover the ISC2 Official Practice Tests by Mike Chapple and really understand those concepts, you will knock this thing out of the park next time. Please keep us updated!
I took my exam on Friday and failed my 2nd time. I agree that there were new materials included in the exam even though the deadline is April. There were a lot more cloud and mobile related questions. And they weren't general like "how does PaaS, IaaS, SaaS work, etc" or (I'm simplifying) but were much more in depth....like down to protocol/encryption level/traffic level.
Failing sucked. It was devastating and frustrating, but after the initial sting, casting spells and curses on every person that were ever involved in creating this wicked exam you say to yourself "all right, let's do this...again" and re-focus. At least that's what I'm telling myself! You can do it!

/ Article The Dothan Police Department made a felony arrest following a recent identity theft investigation. Investigators say, Charles Sapp, 36, of West Newton Street, used the identity of the victim to file fraudulent federal and state taxes, which he then received income tax checks that were deposited in to his personal bank account. Sapp was taken into custody after he was caught shoplifting at a local business. At the time of his arrest, he was in possession of “Money Network” debit cards, with multiple names on them.
The Dothan Police Department is asking that anyone that may have been the victim of a similar incident this year, to contact the department at 334-615-3000.

It’s common knowledge that you should make sure to wipe your old computers and laptops when you finally dispose of them, but it’s all too common that people neglect to do the same to their phones and gaming consoles. Your phone alone has access to a vast amount of your personal information, and that includes your online gaming data. There are a variety of methods to choose from when it comes to wiping your old devices, so it’s worth doing some checking on the best options for your specific device, and as long as you take those vital steps, you will reduce the chances of falling victim to the savvy cybercriminal.
It’s very easy to forget that we need to be as sensible regarding online security on our gaming platforms as it is on other online platforms. Treat your accounts as you would your online banking, and you won’t go far wrong.

Apple finally fixed its developer website over the weekend, only to take a sucker punch from Larry Ellison and then get propped up by Carl Icahn within 24 hours later. Never a dull moment in Cupertino.
Today, billionaire investor Carl Icahn said via Twitter that he's taken a "large position" in Apple after speaking to Tim Cook, adding that he believes the company to be extremely undervalued. Apple is on the verge of a product launch, perhaps as early as next month.
Icahn's tweet comes on the heels of Ellison talking candidly about Apple's future in a CBS interview. The Oracle chief pointed out that Apple flourishes with Steve Jobs and falls precipitously without him. Thus, Apple is on the verge of another historical swoon. Here's the video.
Ellison's doomsday prophesy echoes rumored unrest among Apple's board of directors, which wants to see more innovation out of Apple. It's been a tough few weeks for Apple as the company barrels toward the ever-critical fall product launch.
Slideshow: Apple's 15 Boldest Computer Designs, 1976 - 2012
On the technical front, Apple had been struggling to restore its developer website, which was hacked on July 18-nearly a month ago.
Apple iOS developers have been scurrying to ready their apps for iOS 7 when it becomes generally available this fall. But, as an iOS developer told CIO.com, they've been stymied both by the hack and by Apple's stealthy responses to their queries.
The good news is that Apple apparently has righted the ship. Apple's developer website service was finally restored over the weekend. "It looks like they are all systems go after three or four weeks with an outage to those systems," the developer says.

Interestingly, human error was the perceived cause for 59% of those incidents; 41% saw technology error as the cause. Almost half of respondents said that failure of end users to comply with information security policies was the most common human error.
For the US portion of its Global Information Security Trends study, CompTIA surveyed 250 information technology specialist and business executives involved in setting and executing information security processes and policies within their organization.
In total, CompTIA surveyed 1400 people from organizations in Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Mexico, South Africa, the UK and the US. Globally, 49% of respondents cited information security as an organizational priority, up from 35% in 2008. In addition, 62% said they expected information security to be a priority in 2012. South Africa, India, Brazil and the UK placed the most emphasis on information security as an organizational priority.
“While companies continue to make strides in improving information security, the threats and vulnerabilities continue to concern them”, Tim Herbert, vice president of research at CompTIA, told Infosecurity.
Herbert said that one of the focuses of the study was how organizations respond to an information security incident. “Companies are seeking ways to get better at assessing an attack and having a better understanding of the potential ramifications of the incident, whether it was a breach of the network, data leakage, or some other type of incident.”
Having policies in place – such as how to communicate with staff – before an incident happens is important, Herbert said. According to the survey, a majority of organizations have a written cybersecurity policy, but only one-third of organizations require end-user security training. Organizations need to focus on training staff on cybersecurity policies for those policies to have any effect, he stressed.
From the perspective of IT and business executives, factors that make the security landscape riskier include the rise of social networking, cited by 52% of respondents; more reliance on web-based applications (50%); and the growing sophistication, criminalization, and organization of hackers motivated by financial gain (48%).
Herbert said that social media in particular is increasing the vulnerability of organizations to cyber attacks. “A lot of organizations are still wrestling with the security ramifications of social networking. Organizations conveyed to us the need for having better processes in place to understand what they are dealing with on the social media front.”
Organizations need to update their information security policies to take account of threats posed by social media, he noted.
“If you get an invitation from someone in your friend network, it is difficult to discern whether that is a legitimate request or malicious code….Another threat is people posing as a Monster.com recruiter. So you think it is a job offer and they are requesting personal information about your current employment. Those types of threats are very difficult for companies to set rules for every single case.... These are the areas where companies are trying to update their policies and provide guidance to employees”, Herbert said.
The best way to address these threats is through updated policies and rigorous employee training, Herbert concluded.

I’m often asked, particularly by new entrants into cyber, what books they should read, and what podcasts they should listen to. The list of both is endless, but I thought I’d share some titles with you. Before we start though, a word about my relationship with books…
I’m a passionate reader, and a compulsive purchaser of books. So I have a lot on my shelves that I’ve not yet read, but loads that I have. I had cause to sit and ponder today and reckon I’ve over 25m of bookshelves at home, which are mostly full – and a pile of books by my bed, and another on my desk.
For some reason, I group my books by subject matter and height order, and have recently moved away from keeping all by the same author together to having them grouped by colour. (My LPs are stored in alphabetical order, by artist then by album title: this is something I’ve done since I was a teenager!)
The picture with this post shows my “social engineering” shelf, which includes titles on microexpressions (Paul Ekman), phishing (Chris Hadnagy and Michelle Fincher) and the psychology of persuasion (Robert Cialdini). Interestingly, the author of the Cyber Effect, Mary Aiken, was a producer and consultant for the show CSI: Cyber, and was in fact the inspiration for Patricia Arquette’s character in the programme. (Beware though, once you start watching, you’ll watch the entire series in one sitting!)
It’s not possible to be a good social engineer, to gain people’s trust and ask them to do things to help you, without understanding human psychology. Ditto if you’re carrying out phishing attacks, you need to know what will make people click on links etc.
Microexpressions give away how someone is really feeling, so it’s really important that social engineers understand and recognise these. If you want to know how they can be used, you might want to watch the show Lie To Me. Paul Ekman was a consultant on the show, and his work is explained particularly well in season 1. (Another binge watch alert here!)
It’s impossible to talk about social engineering without mentioning Kevin Mitnick. Once one of the FBI’s top 10 Most Wanted fugitives, Mitnick is one of the foremost authorities in the world on social engineering. I have already written a post about his book, Ghost in the Wires.
I’ll share information on some of the other books on my shelf another time. These should be a good starter for you if you’re interested in the meantime!

Expressing amazement that SQL injection is still a top data security threat, expert Karen Lopez predicted that the longstanding problem will be overtaken by users planting data on open storage buckets like AWS S3 and Azure Data Blob.
"SQL injection -- I think that's what's going to rapidly approach and replace that as [a top] data protection issue is going to be people who store my data in an open bucket, say an S3 bucket or an Azure Data Blob somewhere and it's not protected," she said.
"They'd put it there usually for dev or test reasons. They want to share it with an offsite contractor. They want to have access when they get to work on it at home, whatever it is they're thinking at the time. They pop some production data into an open bucket and leave it there -- forget to turn it off -- and think that just because it was just open there for a few minutes, it's fine. No one knew it was there. That's gonna become the No. 1 way that data breaches are discovered."
Lopez, who goes by the moniker @DataChick on Twitter, shared her expertise with an audience of hundreds during a recent online tech summit put on by Virtualization & Cloud Review. She was speaking in her segment -- "Modern Cloud Data Protection Best Practices" -- that was part of the "Cloud Data Protection for 2022 Summit," now available for on-demand viewing.
The senior project manager at InfoAdvisors is amazed that SQL injection is still even a thing.
"So right now, SQL injection is still listed as one of the top ... methods for data breaches," she said. "SQL injection, a problem we've known for data protection for decades, that we have automated tools to check for, that there are services you can use to check for SQL injection in your application code. And yet we still continue to deliver code into production that has these vulnerabilities."
Indeed, the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) still lists SQL injection among the OWASP Top 10:2021, clocking in at No. 3 after being No. 1 in 2017 and accounting for two-thirds of all web app attacks from 2017 to 2019.
As the OWASP graphic below shows, "Sensitive Data Exposure" has climbed during that time, reaching No. 2 behind "Broken Access Control." While open storage buckets are different from compromised web apps, the OWASP data gives credence to Lopez's prediction about the growing data protection problem.
[Click on image for larger view.] OWASP Top 10:2021 (source: OWASP).
"We have ways of sharing data -- production data -- that might be used to diagnose a problem, and that people are improperly, and in some cases, illegally using it for dev test data," Lopez continued. "We have ways of protecting against that. If you find that your development process is to put production data in some storage blob somewhere for someone to get to it, that stuff has to stop now. We think that, once those become enough of a problem that cloud providers will start implementing ways of profiling your data to see if there's credit card data, or medical images or something unprotected.
Karen Lopez, Sr. Project Manager and Architect, InfoAdvisors
"I can envision that happening, and who wants your cloud providers snooping around in your data just because you put it in an open blob? All of your data and designing test cases should test data protection and security items. If you're currently working at an organization where devs and DBAs are told that the role of the security team is to do security testing, then it's time to stand up and say 'no, it needs to be part of our development environment.' "
That sounds a lot like DevOps -- or DevSecOps as is the current fad -- and Lopez's co-presenter in the summit, Ian Thornton-Trump, had his own prediction about that.
"I want to talk about the future, and about how I see DevOps merging into DevSecOps, backed up by a cyber-threat intelligence program," said the CISO at Cyjax.
Ian Thornton-Trump, CISO, Cyjax
"This is so, I think, important for reducing the amount of silos in your organization between security responsibility, right, and the actual functioning of the IT department. Because I say this, with all due respect to the managed service providers out there, IT is security and security needs to be IT."
Lopez also discussed DevOps in her presentation. "If you're new into DevOps, and DataOps and all the other Ops that are coming up -- I even saw OpsOps the other day, operations ops, which had me confused -- if you're new to that thinking for coding and deployment, you also need to think about securing your DevOps pipeline and your source control so that you can understand what's going on while you're doing the development."
She also provided some highlights that align with the thoughts she expressed in her presentation:
undue complexity increases security risks. But data is complex. If you want to engineer out complexity, go out and make the world simpler and come back to me.
You can't protect data you don't know your organization is collecting and storing.
Asking people what data is collected is never going to be enough to find all the data.
Data masking works best when the masking is standardized.
Attackers are changing their methods, so we need to change our methods of thinking about security.
Of course, Lopez and Thornton-Trump discussed many more data security issues, with Lopez providing this list of best practice thoughts:
Best Practices (source: OWASP).
As mentioned, the summit is available for on-demand viewing if you want to see those best practices fleshed out with many more expert insights.
Upcoming are more live summits on security, which provide benefits such as real-time Q&A with presenters (not to mention a chance at a prize). Some of those coming up in the next few weeks include:

The telecoms industry is not immune to cyber security breaches. It is more susceptible than ever. A dependence on telecommunications products and services due to remote working during the pandemic, and more has produced an increasingly connected world that significantly relies on these telco service providers. And where there is dependence, there are threats to disrupt it.
In August 2021, a security breach hit T-Mobile and impacted more than 40 million current, former, and prospective customers. A recently discovered cyber incident at a critical supplier to Vodafone also had “scope to impact the entire telecoms industry.”
It’s only a matter of time before another high-profile telco discloses that it has been breached. And as increasingly more sophisticated attacks appear, companies need more robust risk management frameworks and monitoring processes to protect the infrastructure and its global supply chain.
Here are four reasons why the telecoms industry needs to improve cybersecurity practices and adopt better cyber hygiene:
Connections to unsecured networks and devices are higher than ever. Remote working is here to stay. It’s predicted that 25% of all professional jobs in North America will be remote-based roles by the end of 2022. The telecoms sector shifted a significant portion of its call-center employees to work from home. For example, in 2020 Telecom Italia shifted its entire call center workforce of 7,000 to be remote and companies such as AT&T and Comcast are embracing remote work. However, work-from-home employees are at a much greater risk than those in offices. Connections are less secure, and the explosion of collaboration and productivity tools gives cybercriminals more access to entry points in an organization. And while companies have implemented more significant security measures, such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) or Single Sign-On (SSO), the risk still exists. In fact, remote employees are more susceptible to falling for phishing scams. A study by Stanford University found that 57% of remote workers say they are distracted working from home, and 47% of employees who fell for a phishing scam were distracted. Ransomware also thrives in a work-from-home model. Trust levels are lower when working remotely, so some workers may be reticent to seek help and are concerned they have done something wrong.
Data breaches from supplier to provider are increasing, regulations to prevent them are growing. The risk in the supply chain is putting the industry in jeopardy more than ever before. In targeting a telecoms company, threat actors can gain access to more than the telecoms provider’s information. An attack may compromise customer data.
In 2021, an attack on Codecov, a software provider, caused a data breach impacting 23,000 customers. The incident highlighted that when attackers penetrate a supply line, they can also breach many other organizations. The recent incident documented by Vodafone in its annual report calls out a supplier that provides wholesale roaming and other services to a global network of telecoms companies and claims a breach resulted in only a “minor direct impact.” This time.
Under the Biden administration, the U.S. government has sharpened its focus on supply chain risk management, including in the telecoms sector. The executive order also called for improved communication between the public and private sectors in preventing and responding to cyber incidents. Telecos, especially if they bid on defense contracts, may also be subject to comply with supply chain risk requirements, including CMMC and NIST 800-171 and the new supplement Special Publication NIST 800-172. CMMC includes domains and controls related to Asset Management, Recovery, and Situational Awareness. By 2026, when requirements for CMMC must be fully in place, over 300,000 suppliers and partners will be impacted.
Reputational damage after reporting cyber breaches to the government. According to the new Cyber Incident Reporting Act, any company in a critical sector, including telecoms, must notify the Department of Homeland Security within 72 hours of the discovery of an incident or within 24 hours after a ransomware payment. The DHS’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) then has a better chance of identifying a larger-scale attack that may impact other agencies. Companies that fail to report breaches can face fines and risk exclusion from future contracts. News of a company’s disclosure can be harmful once it becomes public.
Growth of software-defined networking. Adopting software-defined networking and wide area networks (SD-WAN) improves network flexibility, which is a good thing, as businesses need more remote access. However, endpoints are multiplying, and complex, distributed environments are more extensive, harder to operate, and to secure. This creates more gateways for bad actors to try and infiltrate. Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) architecture is being developed to help in that it can assign network controls on the cloud edge. SASE will allow organizations to transition from data center-centric security and align security closer to service activity and access, including endpoints.
Given the changing environment and regulations, telecoms companies must create robust risk management frameworks to protect their organizations and data. They must ensure compliance to protect their reputation and that of their customers. Adopting a zero-trust approach, where no entities are implicitly trusted, can help support this.
The first step is continuous monitoring for risk mitigation and compliance. Statistics show that continuous risk assessment approaches are being adopted by organizations globally. Gartner predicts that by 2025, end-user spending for the information security and risk management market will reach $221 billion.
Specifically, telcos can start making moves to improve risk awareness, for example, integrating continuous auditing into a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system. Among other things, SIEMs can help network security teams monitor the state of their networking infrastructure and achieve configuration confidence – knowing that a network device is correctly configured to prevent or limit an attack. But knowing is one thing; having the ability to automatically remediate and prioritize once an issue has been identified is key. This starts with accuracy at the configuration assessment level.
Reliance on telecoms services is only going to increase. With this comes greater scrutiny, and all eyes will be on providers to ensure their networks and the data they retain are safe from cyberattacks. By knowing the issues, establishing processes for better accuracy at the vulnerability assessment level and ensuring ongoing compliance, policy and best practice, providers can stay confident that doing everything they can to deter and limit any potential cyberattacks.

As the incidence and severity of cyber crime continue to rise, it’s vital to put adequate measures in place to safeguard your systems, customer data and intellectual property. “How much should we be spending on cyber security?” has become a pivotal question for Australian professional services firms.
More than one in five Australians and just over one in 10 businesses have been victims of a cyber-attack, scam or data breach in the last 12 months alone, according to NAB’s April 2023 Cyber Security Attacks and Scams report. On average, Australians lost $569 while for SMEs the average loss was $19,400.
But, while it’s clear they have a great deal at stake, both professionally and reputationally, cost is not the first question partners and principals should seek to answer, according to Kristian Yench, Manager of Solutions Consultancy at technology services provider Tecala.
Rather, they should be asking themselves exactly what it is they need to protect, and why.
A data breach that sees sensitive customer information posted to the dark web, for example, could result in significant financial losses – think fines, costly reputational damage and client defection.
A ransomware attack, meanwhile, might cost a firm just as dearly, if its entire workforce were to be brought to a standstill, for a day or several. And if illicitly encrypted data can’t be recovered or restored, there’s a significant time cost associated with rebuilding case notes and files.
“The cyber conversation shouldn’t start with whether you need to buy antivirus software, for example, or a firewall – it’s around understanding where your firm’s ‘crown jewels’ sit and concentrating your energy and investment there,” Yench says.
Take stock of your position
Globally, companies on average currently devote around 12 per cent of their ICT budgets to cyber security, but firms that haven’t prioritised it to date might need to invest more on an ‘uplift’, according to Kurt Hansen, the CEO of listed cyber security provider Tesserent.
Many Australian businesses, professional services firms included, may find themselves at the back of the pack: just four in 10 SMEs believed they were being very vigilant regarding their cyber security, and around 15 per cent felt they were doing poorly, according to NAB’s April research. What’s more, according to NAB’s latest report released in September, only 15 per cent of SMEs overall said they conducted “extensive” training and 40% did “not much” training” at all.
NAB’s data also shows around one in three Australians feel powerless and vulnerable in the face of cyber-risk and were finding it difficult to trust.
Getting on the front foot is the best way to deal with those concerns. Hansen recommends you commission a comprehensive risk assessment and let that drive your budget.
“As part of that process, we’d do a gap assessment to see where you are compared with your peers, looking at what’s in place and what should be in place,” he says.
Depending on the size and complexity of your operations, the cost of a report will vary. For firms with 50 to 100 staff, a detailed report may cost upwards of $10,000.
Counting the cost
While requirements and budgets vary considerably, a professional services firm with 100 employees should expect to outlay between $3000 and $10,000 a month on cyber technology and services, Yench estimates.
Most professional services firms will invest in cyber technology services such as identity and access management technology, endpoint and email security, network protection and monitoring services, he says.
If not already in place, fundamental ‘cyber hygiene’ measures – multi-factor authentication, password rolling policies, encryption of staff workstations and mobile devices, regular data back-ups and back-up testing, and centralised device management – are high impact and can be deployed quickly and economically.
Regular employee awareness training should also be included in the budget. It can prevent staff falling victim to phishing attempts, invoice fraud and other email-based scams.
Staying ahead of the threats
The cyber threat landscape is constantly evolving, so commissioning a formal cyber assessment at least annually will determine whether the protective measures you have in place remain sufficient. Investing in a cyber response plan, meanwhile, can help a firm react decisively and appropriately in the event of an incident.
As they become more cyber mature, firms may look to adopt more sophisticated processes and programs, such as vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, centralised log management and data loss prevention.
With cyber professionals in chronically short supply, all but the very largest firms may find partnering with an external security provider more cost-effective than managing cyber programs and processes in-house.
Making smart investments
Cyber security costs are non-linear and it’s important to validate the value your firm will get out of each of the cyber investment decisions it makes, Yench says.
“Typically, you can cover the first 90 per cent of risks with the first 50 per cent of your investment and then you’ll have diminishing returns on the last 10 per cent,” he says.
There’s no point spending money on things that aren’t an issue for you, Hansen adds. “Smart cyber management is about being aware of the specific risks your firm faces and, to the extent you can afford it, investing as much as you possibly can in managing those risks.”

Australian private and public sector organisations are being targeted in a sophisticated cyber-attack by a foreign entity.
"We know it is a sophisticated state-based cyber actor, because of the scale and nature of the targeting and the tradecraft used", Prime Minister Scott Morrison said not name the state responsible, and he said he made the threat public to raise awareness.
Australia the target of a 'sophisticated' state-based cyber attack | 7NEWS
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said that while the attacks were not new, the frequency has increased. The PM said the advice he had received indicated there had not been any large-scale personal data breaches.
“This activity is targeting Australian organisations across a range of sectors, including all levels of Government, industry, political organisations, education, health, essential service providers and operators of other critical infrastructure."

Chinese hackers stole a signing key from a Microsoft software dump.
The key was used to forge tokens for Outlook.com and Outlook Web Access.
The hackers gained access to email accounts of around 25 US organizations, including government agencies.
Microsoft has fixed the bugs that allowed the breach to happen.
Users should still be vigilant and take steps to protect their accounts.
On Wednesday, Microsoft published an incident post-mortem report to explain how the Chinese threat actor Storm-0558 obtained the MSA cryptographic consumer key, forged tokens for Outlook.com and Outlook Web Access accepted by enterprise systems, and broke into US organizations accounts.
In that breach, the Chinese spying group gained access to email accounts of around 25 US organizations, including government agencies, through exploiting a security flaw in Microsoft Cloud platform. The Washington Post reported that US State Department officials and Commerce Secretary Raimondo’s email accounts were breached in that incident.
Microsoft admitted that Storm-0558 stole the key from a software dump that crashed in April 2021. The key was leaked accidentally when the computer crashed, and the machines generated a crash dump report.
“The crash dumps, which redact sensitive information, should not include the signing key. In this case, a race condition allowed the key to be present in the crash dump,” the report read.
Microsoft explained that when this error occurred, the machine failed to redact the key from the file because of a software flaw. It also admitted that the dump shouldn’t have included the digital key in the first place.
Microsoft noted that it always isolates all the computers holding signing keys, and these machines don’t contain several key internet-based services like email or video conferencing.
However, the crash dump report created a dent in its security mechanisms because the unredacted file was passed automatically to an internet-connected Microsoft computer used to perform debugging.
The issue occured because Microsoft’s systems didn’t detect the key’s presence in the crash dump. This issue was later fixed by Microsoft and the dump was shifted from the isolated production network into its debugging environment on the “internet-connected corporate network,” as part of the company’s standard debugging process.
But the Windows giant is still figuring out how the Chinese threat actors gained access to the key. The company suspects that the group had access to an already compromised Microsoft engineer’s corporate account that provided access to the debugging environment where the crash dump was present.
It is worth noting that the signing key couldn’t be used for enterprise accounts, targeted by the hackers, because it was designed for consumer Microsoft accounts. Here Microsoft’s failure is evident.
The company didn’t update a critical software library to validate key signing signatures automatically between consumer and enterprise accounts. Its mail system developers believed that libraries performed complete validation and didn’t add necessary issuer/scope validation. This allowed the mail system to accept a request for enterprise email using a security token signed with that consumer key.
However, the company asserts that it has now fixed the bugs and processes that let the hackers carry out the breach, including improving its detection systems and preventing sensitive data from mistakenly getting added to crash dump files.
Key Points to Understand
The signing key is a digital certificate that is used to sign email messages and other Microsoft services.
The hackers were able to steal the key from a software dump that was created when a Microsoft computer crashed.
The key was not supposed to be included in the crash dump, but a software flaw allowed it to be included.
The hackers used the key to forge tokens that allowed them to access Outlook.com and Outlook Web Access accounts.
Microsoft has fixed the bug that allowed the key to be included in the crash dump.
Microsoft has also updated its systems to prevent sensitive data from being mistakenly added to crash dump files.

Earlier this summer we learned about Microsoft's Avalanche project, a peer-assisted content distribution project that aims to improve on BitTorrent's supposed failings. When DCM Doll decided to invest almost $9 million in venture capital funding in BitTorrent, my interest was piqued: could content providers really get interested in peer-assisted delivery? DCM Doll is surely counting on it, but I thought it would be interesting to get a status check from Microsoft on Avalanche. Mitch Goldberg, senior program manager at Microsoft Research Cambridge, told me that there are currently no announced plans to release technology based on Avalanche, although it remains a "research project that is being explored for its future potential." One of Avalanche's more compelling features relates to how files are delivered. In the past, peer-assisted delivery has suffered from a kind of metaphorical "last mile" problem, wherein obtaining the very end of a file is considerably more difficult than obtaining the beginning, since so many users of applications such as BitTorrent stop seeding the minute they grab an entire file. Avalanche tries to side-step that problem.
Instead of distributing the blocks of the file, peers produce linear combinations of the blocks they already hold. Such combinations are distributed together with a tag that describes the parameters in the combination. Any peer can generate new unique combinations from the combinations it already has. When a peer has enough independent combinations, it can decode and build the original file.
While this might sound ideal to the casual TV pirate, Microsoft has previously said that this technology would need to be backed by other tech aimed at thwarting piracy. Nevertheless, sans a patent, can we expect to see BitTorrent or another product step in and aid with the last mile problem? Expand full story

The forces reshaping the financial services industry demand new thinking and approaches from risk management.
This article is part of a collection of insights about trust by design.
Rising customer expectations for speed, transparency and personalization. Digital disruption. Threats from nontraditional competitors. Proliferating cyber threats.
As these forces reshape the financial services industry, they demand new thinking and new approaches from risk management teams. (Download the PDF.) Forward-looking risk executives are leading a pivot toward more strategic and business-enabling perspectives that focus on innovation and consumer trust, without losing sight of the primary objective of protecting the enterprise.
The broader idea behind this evolution is that banks need their risk management teams to identify and embrace upside risk opportunity and help the business take advantage of these opportunities, while still mitigating downside risks and outside risks such as geopolitical instability and climate change. Highly informed risk intelligence must be embedded at the forefront of business strategies that are based on stronger, deeper, trust-based relationships with consumers.
Compared to risk management’s role in the immediate aftermath of the financial crisis, which emphasized regulatory compliance and a more defensive posture, the shift to business enablement and consumer trust represents profound change.
Financial service firms are seeing disruption, either on the horizon or at the front doorstep, and they are seeing the change cycle growing shorter. The risk function is really evaluating what this means to their firm.
Striking the balance between growth strategies and brand protection requires the embedding of risk management principles and insights into strategic decision-making. It also means risk teams must develop digital capabilities to harness risk intelligence across the enterprise.
Such a vision equates to adaptive digital risk management, an approach well suited to addressing the new risks brought on by digital disruption and the imperative to build trust with consumers. However, to make the vision a reality, banks must ensure they have the right talent, right operating model and processes, and right technology to operationalize adaptive digital risk management.
These components are just a baseline, however. Today’s consumers also want personalized offerings based on their immediate or near-term needs — a home equity line of credit for a growing family or a commercial loan for a small business. And they want these products delivered via highly transparent processes.
Banks that can deliver such transparency and personalization will win the trust of consumers, who have learned to trust digital leaders in other industries thanks to high-quality customer experiences. In this sense, trust has become a currency to derive value and loyalty from customers.
Such a strategic view of trust doesn’t necessarily align to traditional risk management frameworks. Consider how many risk practices limited the ability of the business to innovate or launch new products at the pace of the nimblest competitors.
Trust by design is EY’s adaptive risk management approach that is designed to enable such acceleration. It builds risk intelligence into key processes and the supporting technologies so that the business can move both more quickly and more safely.
The key is to embed that intelligence at every touch point and across every phase of the customer journey, as well as for all emerging technologies — the cloud, mobile apps and interfaces with third parties, including collaborations with FinTechs.
Firms that evolve their risk thinking to be more adaptive and trust-oriented will gain a leg up on the competition. An integrated risk operating model, such as Trust by design, with its automated processes, advanced technology and toolsets — including artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning — is necessary to simultaneously deliver what customers want and remain within the risk appetite.
Tomorrow’s high-performance risk management functions will be notable for skills and capabilities beyond technology. The following five steps should be considered when designing and deploying an adaptive risk management vision for the future.
Financial services firms that follow these key actions will build in trust by design into their processes.
1. Update the risk governance framework to be more adaptive
Taking on an adaptive risk framework requires changes to traditional risk management models, though not necessarily drastic changes. For instance, front-line business managers will a need comprehensive, end-to-end view of both financial and nonfinancial risks if the company is to control individual customer moments and long-term customer journeys.
Risk and compliance functions should embed with business functions to understand and help design the latest product and service innovations. Designing risk into the product and services enables for the automation of future monitoring once the change is in production.
They will need such engagement to manage and monitor real-time risk, predictive business models and significant third-party interactions. Another updated role for risk teams is to provide insights and expectations to help the business monitor overall effectiveness.
2. Make certain that the team has the right skill sets
New skills — both “soft” and “hard” — are necessary for new risk management approaches. For example, firms will need people with the skills and knowledge to cover across risk topics (e.g., compliance, operational risk, resiliency) to manage the customer journey, and for specific types of new risks (e.g., cloud, cyber or blockchain). Having the right skills at the table at the right time for specific changes will help in identifying new and emerging risks.
3. Deploy product and service management capabilities
Embedding risk controls within real-time product development processes requires that companies have technology to track client actions in real time, with automated triggers for product and service mechanisms that are designed with a set of risk rules to instantaneously adjust product features (e.g., price or terms).
Risk leaders should also collaborate with the business on initial product designs. The goal should be to identify a comprehensive set of client attributes and behaviors that map to key risk considerations.
Such insights are necessary for banks to quickly launch, scale and manage new, risk-informed products and services.
4. Strengthen resiliency
Resiliency, cybersecurity and privacy are critical considerations for both satisfying customer expectations about reliability and protecting brand reputations and information assets. Resiliency should be infused throughout the extended enterprise, including in the operations of third- and fourth-party vendors, especially critical vendors.
Since preparedness is essential to resiliency, firms should conduct simulations under a variety of disruption or crisis scenarios.
5. Adopt data intelligence and more advanced architectures
There is little doubt that risk functions will seek to use data more effectively and automate more processes in the future. To do so, they will need a robust foundational platform that integrates with a broader governance, risk and compliance ecosystem.
Such platforms can enable more automated risk monitoring and support stronger data models for improved business intelligence and decision-making.
Bottom line: trust-driven growth requires a new model
The need to build trust and engage consumers at critical moments is reshaping the future of risk management across financial services. As business models evolve in response to tech-driven disruption and rising customer expectations, risk management functions must similarly transform their approach and capabilities.
While there are many moving parts — including technology, processes, people, and organizational and cultural factors — for risk management leaders to manage in this evolution, the first-order goal of building trust with more demanding customers should serve as a guide on the journey ahead. At EY, we believe that journey begins with trust by design.

Needless to say, the most common method for data leakage is through USB/Pen drive/Mass storage devices. Leakage is also high through PCs/laptops that get infected by viruses/malware.
Most corporations have centralized control for usage of such devices. However, such controls are desirable in the offices of Chartered Accountants/CPA firms, as they have critical databases of their clients. It’s generally observed that the Data Security Policies of CA/CPA firms are relatively weak and can be easily compromised.
In this article, we’ll explore the simple steps for blocking USB Ports i.e. blocking of Pen Drive/Mass Storage Devices.

Latest ESET research shows just how far attackers will go in order to steal bitcoin from customers of one specific virtual currency exchange.
On November 3, attackers successfully breached StatCounter, a leading web analytics platform. This service is used by many webmasters to gather statistics on their visitors – a service very similar to Google Analytics. To do so, webmasters usually add an external JavaScript tag incorporating a piece of code from StatCounter – http://www.statcounter[.]com/counter/counter.js – into each webpage. Thus, by compromising the StatCounter platform, attackers can inject JavaScript code in all websites that use StatCounter.
According to their website, StatCounter has more than 2 million member sites and it computes stats on more than 10 billion page views per month. This information is in line with its Alexa rank being a bit above 5000. For comparison, the official website of the Debian Linux distribution, debian.org, has a similar Alexa rank.
Attackers modified the script at www.statcounter[.]com/counter/counter.js by adding a piece of malicious code, shown in “prettified” form below, in the middle of the script. This is unusual, as attackers generally add malicious code at the beginning, or at the end, of a legitimate file. Code injected into the middle of an existing script is typically harder to detect via casual observation.
The script is packed with the Dean Edwards packer, which is probably the most popular JavaScript packer. However, it can be trivially unpacked, resulting in the actual script code to be run, as seen below.
This piece of code will first check if the URL contains myaccount/withdraw/BTC. Thus, we can already guess that the attackers’ goal is to target a Bitcoin platform. If the check passes, the script continues to add a new scriptelement to the webpage and incorporating the code at https://www.statconuter%5B.%5Dcom/c.php.
Notice that the attackers registered a domain very similar to the legitimate StatCounter one, statcounter[.]com. They just switched two letters, which can be hard to notice while scanning logs for unusual activity. Interestingly, by checking the passive DNS of the domain, we noticed that this domain had already been suspended in 2010 for abuse.
As explained above, the script targets a specific Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): myaccount/withdraw/BTC. It turns out that among the different cryptocurrency exchanges live at time of writing, only gate.io has a valid page with this URI. Thus, this exchange seems to be the main target of this attack. This exchange is quite popular, with an Alexa rank of 26,251 and even 8,308 in China.
Also, according to coinmarketcap.com, several million dollars, including USD 1.6 million in just bitcoin transactions, transit this platform every day. Thus, it could be very profitable for attackers to steal cryptocurrency at a large scale on this platform.
The webpage https://www.gate%5B.%5Dio/myaccount/withdraw/BTC, shown below, is used to transfer bitcoin from a gate.io account to an external Bitcoin address.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it turns out that the second stage payload, from statconuter[.]com/c.php, is designed to steal bitcoins. Thus, it makes sense to inject the script into the gate.io bitcoin transfer webpage. This script also is packed with the Dean Edwards packer. The unpacked version is shown below.
In the genuine gate.io webpage, there is already a doSubmit function, called when the user clicks on the submit button, but here the attackers redefine it.
The script automatically replaces the destination Bitcoin address with an address belonging to the attackers, for example 1JrFLmGVk1ho1UcMPq1WYirHptcCYr2jad. The malicious server generates a new Bitcoin address each time a visitor loads the statconuter[.]com/c.php script. Thus, it is hard to see how many bitcoins have been transferred to the attackers.
Depending on whether the victim enters an amount above 10 BTC or not, the attackers’ script will either use it or use the victim’s account’s daily withdrawal limit. In our test account, the withdrawal limit is set to 100 BTC by default. Finally, the malicious script submits the form, which executes the transfer from the victim’s account to the attackers’ wallet.
This redirection is probably unnoticeable to the victims, since the replacement is performed after they click on the submit button. Thus, it will happen very quickly and would probably not even be displayed.
As a new Bitcoin address is generated each time the malicious script is sent to the victim, we were not able to see how many bitcoins the attackers have gathered. For instance, if we check the address we received on our test machine, the balance is 0 BTC.
Conclusion
Even if we do not know how many bitcoins have been stolen during this attack, it shows how far attackers go to target one specific website, in particular a cryptocurrency exchange. To achieve this they compromised an analytics service’s website, used by more than two million other websites, including several government-related websites, to steal bitcoin from customers of just one cryptocurrency exchange website.
It also shows that even if your website is updated and well protected, it is still vulnerable to the weakest link, which in this case was an external resource. This is another reminder that external JavaScript code is under the control of a third party and can be modified at any time without notice.
We notified both StatCounter and gate.io as soon as we discovered this malicious activity.

I would like to share some very exciting news with you! Montgomery County, the State of Maryland, U.S. Sen. Barbara Mikulski and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) signed a Memorandum of Understanding February 21 creating The National Cybersecurity Center of Excellence in Montgomery County.
Thanks to $10 million in federal appropriations secured by Mikulski in NIST's FY 2012 budget, the Cybersecurity Center of Excellence will encourage tech transfer by allowing private companies to learn about and apply public sector cybersecurity advances to their own products and applications. The Department of Economic Development is working direclty with NIST to identify a location near NIST's campus for the Center.

Email hacking is an unauthorized way to access someone’s personal email accounts without one’s consent. Some of the common problem are like it can lead to financial loss, email breach can be done to damage one’s information which can lead to a great problem for anyone.
While reading such articles the most frequent question is "how do i know if my email has been hacked"? This article will discuss the signs that your e-mail is hacked and tell you what you can do.
If you remember your email password and still it is not helping you out to login, then it definitely means that someone has breached your account and had changed its password too.
Sometimes hackers don’t change the password and it seems everything alright but when you see sent box and find some messages unrecognized, it also means someone has hacked the account.
Hackers try to get your bank details and other financial ways they can use to get money. If you find such emails in inbox just realize that someone is misusing your account.
To verify that someone has hack email you can check IP address, match the IP address of your location, if other IP address is also shown it means your account is hacked.
If you find unexpected password resetting messages for your various accounts, it also means someone is trying to access your personal accounts through your email and email is hacked.
If you got emails from your friends and other contacts that they are receiving spam messages from your account, it also ensures that your mail account is being misused by someone else.
Part 2. What to do if your email has been hacked?
Want to enhance e-mail protection? Here are some steps and procedures to do and answer the question "what to do if the email is hacked".
Change Your Passwords
If you find your hacked email the first thing you should do is to change the password. If your password has already been changed and you can’t access your email, then you have to contact the email provider directly and after few confirmations you have to prove it who you are, you can get access to your account.
Now the reset password should be unique and complex i.e. including capital letters, symbols and numbers etc. As much complicate the password is, the more difficult will be to get its access through hacking. If you still need help to choose your password you can take help from secure password manager.
Change Your Security Questions
Another important way to secure your email is to change your security questions. It’s a very simple and easy process. Just click on home and select My Account. On the very left side choose Security options. Here you will find the option to edit security questions. Select the security question of your own choice and if applicable you can also write the question as per your choice.
Then finally enter the secret answer to the questions. Try your level best to select unique questions and unique secret answers to it so that your security threats of getting hacked email would decrease.
Use Security Software to Check Your Device
To keep secure your email account, we should use several highly secure and licensed software’s. You can run an anti-virus to scan completely to identify the malwares and avoid key loggers to hit your privacy. The best way to stop others to hack email is to use all the latest versions of software i.e, ClevGuard, browsers, antivirus etc.
This is because the latest versions are always up to date with current problems and new algorithms are added in it to secure your privacy even more than before and the hackers face difficulties in destroying the privacy. There are several types of anti-viruses available in market and online also. Some software are free of cost and they provide limited services while some of the security software are paid.
They provide full security for your account because they have strong algorithms. Force point, Avanan, N-able, Mime cast, Cisco, Microsoft etc. are the top ranked and used Email Security Gateways. "Secure anywhere" is a multi-vector protection against malware and viruses that provides protection against key loggers, spyware, back-doors and advanced persistent threats.
Notify Your Email Contacts
If your email account has been hacked the first thing you should do is to inform people who are in contact with you over there so that they get aware of this and stay conscious. People usually hack email and then ask the people in the contact list for money on behalf of the person.
So, it becomes very essential to inform other about this. Some people also hack others emails to damage their personality by sending unexpected email and unethical or illegal messages to others. So, before facing such problem the most important thing is to inform others that my account has been hacked so if you got any message just ignore it.
Sometimes it happens that the hack email does not get restored then the effected person should all of a sudden make another email with the same name and text the people to avoid the previous email and mention them the reason that it has been hacked.
Report the Hack
One answer to the question "what to do if email is hacked" is simply to report the concerned team about the hacked email. Sometimes you need some of your contacts also to report that account so that the concerned team and algorithm may check that the same account is reported many time so they just block it. This is done only in case you are not able to secure your account by trying several times so you must try to report it and block it.
All the email service providers have their special methods to secure email accounts. Proper account recovery strategies are provided but still after this sometimes a person is unable to provide the security confirmation details and computer does not recognize it. In that case one must use the power of reporting the hack. Even you can take legal action against this. Cyber security is the one dealing with hacking cases.
E-mail is the most commonly used business communication platform. In order to protect our information and privacy, we must find a secure tool to resist hackers. ClevGuard is a professional anti-spyware application, which can detect the spy applications hidden in our device.
The top features of it not only can check for spyware, they also can offer 24/7 protection for you. For example, the third-party apps audit will check whether the third-party application is safe when you download and install it on your mobile phone. These features cut off the hacker's goal to attrack your phone.
Moreover, you can use ClevGuard to for e-mail hacked check. Don't miss! Simply click the button "Get it Google Play Store" as below. After installation, you just need to enter your E-mail address. ClevGuard will present the result that your E-mail is secure or not.

I am currently in the middle of Provider-Hosted App hell. I have developed several test apps for my QA environment following the dev center tutorials (Create: https://goo.gl/dDis9Q , Publish: https://goo.gl/ELCvdT). Debugging provides no issue whatsoever. However, when I proceed with publishing and deploying the application, I continue to receive the dreaded The Azure Access Control service is unavailable. We are completely on-premise and based on how the application is configured, ACS should not even be on option. I have read, from multiple sources, that this error can be a bit misleading and the real issue lies much deeper. Regardless, I have reconfigured, recreated, and reconfirmed until complete exhaustion.
Thus, my question is, has anyone else experienced this issue and what was the resolution? I am looking for any possible tip that may lead to something I overlooked.
401 - /dev/DevSite/_layouts/15/appredirect.aspx?instance_id=bd8e792d%2D3f2a%2D409b%2D8744%2D2890f643b113 HTTP/1.1 401 - /dev/DevSite/_layouts/15/appredirect.aspx?instance_id=bd8e792d%2D3f2a%2D409b%2D8744%2D2890f643b113 HTTP/1.1 200 - /dev/DevSite/_layouts/15/appredirect.aspx?instance_id=bd8e792d%2D3f2a%2D409b%2D8744%2D2890f643b113 HTTP/1.1

401 - /RemoteApp/Pages/Default.aspx?SPHostUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fportal%2Edomain%2Ecom%2Fdev%2FDevSite&SPLanguage=en%2DUS&SPClientTag=0&SPProductNumber=15%2E0%2E4867%2E1000 HTTP/1.1 200 - /RemoteApp/Pages/Default.aspx?SPHostUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fportal%2Edomain%2Ecom%2Fdev%2FDevSite&SPLanguage=en%2DUS&SPClientTag=0&SPProductNumber=15%2E0%2E4867%2E1000 HTTP/1.1
After a long series of reconfiguration…and reconfiguration…and reconfiguration, it would appear that the issue was directly related to the certificates in use. As mentioned in many other blog posts, the Azure Access Control Service is Unavailable error is often a red herring that requires one to step back through the entire add-in configuration process. I did this many times with no luck. I eventually added an extra layer of logging to the SharePointContext and TokenHelper classes, which allowed me to determine that I was targeting the correct certificate serial, but the following method was returning null:
storedCert = store. Certificates. Find(X509FindType. FindBySerialNumber,ClientSigningCertificateSerialNumber,true)
Specifically, it was returning null due to the validOnly flag. Once I removed the flag, the targeted cert was returned but I received a plethora of errors relating to the certificate chain, provider type, etc. Reconfiguring the self-signed certificates through a variety of methods (makecert.exe, OpenSSL, changing provider types, adding self-signed root, etc.) failed to resolve the errors. The only temporary resolution I was able to maintain involved deploying the remote web solutions on the same web server that hosts SharePoint (following the structure of many tutorials). Unless I have a fundamental misunderstanding of the High-Trust S2S process, this should not be necessary – even for a development environment.

CIO Leadership Live with Jack Clare, CIO and chief strategy officer at Dunkin'...
It was a USB drive loaded with malware.
That's how U.S. defense networks were compromised in 2008, according to U.S Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn, who today offered the first official confirmation of a data breach that led to restrictions on the use of removable USB drives in the military.
Slideshow: Quiz: Separate Cyber Security Fact From Fiction
[ 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. ]
In an article written for Foreign Affairs magazine, Lynn said the breach occurred when a single USB drive containing malicious code was inserted into a laptop computer at a U.S. base in the Middle East. The malware, placed on the drive by a foreign intelligence agency, was uploaded to a network run by the U.S. Central Command.
The malware then spread -- undetected -- on both classified and unclassified systems, essentially establishing a "digital beachhead" from which data could be transferred to servers outside the U.S, "It was a network administrator's worst fear: a rogue program operating silently, poised to deliver operational plans into the hands of an unknown adversary," Lynn wrote.
He did not say whether the malware allowed any classified or unclassified data to be stolen from U.S. Defense networks. Nor did he offer clues as to which foreign intelligence agency may have been behind the intrusion.
Even so, Lynn described the hitherto classified incident as the "most significant breach of U.S. military computers ever," saying it served as an important wake-up call for the military.
[ Prepare to become a Certified Information Security Systems Professional with this comprehensive online course from PluralSight. Now offering a 10-day free trial! ]
The incident led to a massive Pentagon response operation called "Operation Buckshot Yankee" aimed at purging infected systems of the malware and preventing something similar from happening again.
Lynn's description in Foreign Affairs throws a little more light on the military's sudden ban on the use of removable USB flash drives in 2008. At that time, the Pentagon said its decision was tied to concerns about a malware program called Agent.btz that propagated itself via the drives. That worm was a variant of another malware program called SillyFDC that was designed to scan infected systems for specific data and open backdoors for communications with remote command and control servers.
The Pentagon said at the time that the malware had begun infecting military systems, but offered few other reasons for the USB ban.
The incident highlights the enormous problems that can result from seemingly minor vulnerabilities, said J.R. Reagan, a analyst with Deloitte Consulting Services. "It brings to life what we have all feared for a long time from the small little holes in the dike that can really open up big problems," Reagan said.
In the military's case, the problems may have been exacerbated by an ongoing drive to make information sharing easier, he said.
The bigger issue really is not that the intrusion happened in the first place, but just how much information was in danger of being spirited out of the military's network, he said.
Lynn's description of the USB incident is part of a broader article on the challenges the U.S. military faces in securing its networks against foreign intelligence agencies. U.S. military networks are probed thousands of a times a day, he said.
"Right now, more than 100 foreign intelligence organizations are trying to hack into the digital networks that undergird U.S. military operations," Lynn said.

First, the office. Now, your hotel room.
On June 19, Amazon announced Alexa for Hospitality, its effort to bring its voice-based, Alexa artificial intelligence platform, via its Echo speakers, to hotel rooms around the world. The effort comes about seven months after the company unveiled Alexa for Business, which is designed to help workers easily start conference calls and videoconferences, book conference rooms, order office supplies, find open conference rooms and more.
The new hospitality-focused offering is being made available to hospitality providers by invitation, with Marriott International introducing the new service at select properties in Marriott Hotels, Westin Hotels & Resorts, St. Regis Hotels & Resorts, Aloft Hotels, and Autograph Collection Hotels starting this summer.
Hotel guests can use Echo devices in their rooms to ask Alexa for hotel information; contact the hotel to request guest services; play music by station, genre, and artist; control in-room devices by voice; and more. Amazon says Alexa for Hospitality will empower hospitality staff members by delivering guests' requests to the right team immediately, allowing for responsive service. By routing routine tasks, such as housekeeping or room-service requests, staff are able to “focus on the guest interactions that matter most,” Amazon says.
Smart speakers are appearing in more settings outside of homes, but security concerns may inhibit adoption by businesses. As The Verge notes, there are some clear privacy concerns, but Amazon appears to have thought about those. Recordings of Alexa commands are deleted daily, according to the publication. “Hotels are not given access to voice recordings of Alexa interactions. Nor are they able to review Alexa’s responses to users,” The Verge reports.
“We saw an opportunity to bring over the experience that consumers are having today in their homes — to simply use your voice to get information, to make requests, to take notes — and bring that over into a hotel environment,” Jennifer Hsieh, vice president of customer experience innovation for Marriott International, tells Mashable.

APT33 focused on gathering information to bolster Iran's aviation industry and military decision-making capability, FireEye says.
An Iranian APT group with the ability to carry out destructive attacks has been waging a sophisticated cyber espionage campaign against organizations in the aerospace and energy sectors in the US, Saudi Arabia, and South Korea.
APT33 has been active since at least 2013 and appears focused on gathering information that could help Iran bolster its capabilities in the aviation and petrochemical industries, FireEye said in an advisory Wednesday.
The threat group's particular emphasis on organizations with aviation-related partnerships with Saudi Arabia also suggests that APT33 is gathering information to bolster the Iranian government's strategic and military decision making capabilities with regard to Saudi Arabia, the security vendor said.
FireEye security analyst Jacqueline O'Leary says the security vendor has evidence showing that at least six organizations were targeted between May 2016 and August 2017. The targets included a US aerospace company, a Saudi Arabian business conglomerate with interests in the aviation sector, and a South Korean company with stakes in petrochemicals and oil.
It is likely that more organizations were targeted based on additional infrastructure that FireEye identified and attributed to APT33, she says.
In some cases, FireEye observed APT33 related spearphishing activity result in compromise of the target organization. In other cases, the company observed APT33 conduct spearphishing on targets, although it has no evidence whether those campaigns resulted in a compromise.
So far, APT33 does not appear to have carried out any destructive attacks and appears focused only on cyber espionage activity.
But somewhat ominously, one of the droppers used by APT33 — dubbed DROPSHOT — has links to SHAPESHIFT, a destructive Shamoon-like disk-, file-and configuration-erasing tool that has been used in attacks against Saudi Arabian targets. Shamoon was malware that was used to brick some 35,000 Windows PCs at Saudi Arabian oil giant Saudi Aramco about five years ago.
FireEye said it has not seen APT33 actually use SHAPESHIFT to carry out any destructive attacks. At the same time, APT33 is the only group known to be using DROPSHOT, the company cautioned.
Like many other threat groups, APT33 has been using spearphising to try and get an initial foothold in target networks. Its spearphising emails have contained recruitment-themed lures with links to malicious HTML application files with job descriptions and links to legitimate job postings on legitimate employment websites.
Many of the phishing emails have appeared legitimate, and referenced specific job opportunities and salaries and have even included the spoofed company's Equal Opportunity Employer disclosure, FireEye said. However, if a user opens one of these documents, it would silently drop an APT33 custom backdoor on the victim's machine.
As part of its spear phishing campaign, APT33 also registered multiple websites that masqueraded as domains for organizations such as Boeing, Alsalam Aircraft Company, and Northrop Grumman Aviation Arabia.
There are multiple pointers to APT33's links to Iran and to the country's government. Code in the malware used by the group contains artifacts written in Farsi, Iran's official language, FireEye said. Many of the publicly available tools and backdoors that APT33 has used in its campaign so far are available on Iranian threat actor websites. The group's targeting of organizations suggests it is aligned with Iranian nation-state interests and the timing of its activities coincides with Iran's workweek and working hours, the security vendor noted.
Code in one of the malware samples that the group has used indicates that it may have been developed and deployed by an individual who was previously employed by the government of Iran, FireEye said.
"APT33 shares some similarities with other nation-state groups in that they rely on publicly available tools with some use of custom malware development, potentially suggesting the threat actors are a part of a greater capability," says Josiah Kimble, a security analyst with FireEye.
"Like most suspected state sponsored actors, APT33's targeting of organizations, most closely aligns with nation-state interests," he says.

Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) provide an excellent way to reuse code. However, they also introduce a number of issues that can make things fairly messy. For example, the dreaded term DLL hell describes problems that arise when multiple versions of a DLL confuse a system. This can happen when newer applications are installed and require an updated version of a DLL that may not be compatible with older versions. Because of DLL hell, it is quite possible that installing one application can break another application or possibly even cause problems within the operating system itself.
The Microsoft .NET Framework eliminates this problem by allowing an application to have its own version of a DLL. The DLL only runs from the application with which it is installed. Therefore, the installation has no impact on the system or on other applications residing on it. However, as mentioned in Fill er Up with Web Services!, having local third-party DLLs running on your system could prevent it from obtaining updates to a DLL, even though the updates could correct errors in the DLL you have on your system.
Web Services can eliminate this problem by offering a remote component whose methods and properties can be accessed over HTTP. Because you are not installing the component locally, it has no impact on the system and its applications. This solves the DLL-version problem. Additionally, because the component resides at its source, bug fixes that do not result in a change to the service s signature can be made to the component easily without breaking the applications that consume it. This solves the problem of DLLs getting stale.
A Web Service can be updated easily as long as its signature doesn t change. But what if it does?
To access a Web Service from your application, you must build a proxy class, which handles the communication between your application and the Web Service. This proxy class will remain valid as long as the signature of the service remains the same. If a change to the component results in a new signature, a new proxy class must be generated. If the Web Service needs to be updated to the point at which its signature would change, ideally the person hosting the Web Service would expose another version of the Web Service while keeping the version you are using available as well. However, you re at the mercy of the service provider. Your application will work correctly only if it can contact and consume the Web Service successfully. This brings up another issue: connectivity.
Can Web Services Be Trusted?
The reliability of a Web application is something clients and developers take very seriously. They search long and hard to find a cozy little spot on a server that is guaranteed to be up 99.999 percent of the time, so they can rest comfortably at night knowing the site is up and all is well. With the birth of Web Services, developers have something else to worry about. When using Web Services in an application, the fact that the server is going to be up 99.999 percent of the time doesn t mean the host of the Web Service will be up 99.999 percent of the time. If the Web Service is not reachable, the application will not work correctly. You are now placing the reliability of your Web application in the hands of the service provider. Because of this, you cannot simply search the Web for a Web Service and use it in your production Web application. You must select a Web Service that is hosted by a provider you trust.
A service I foresee entering the market will be something akin to the signing of controls by companies such as VeriSign. With a service like this, a Web Service or the provider of Web Services could be certified to indicate it is reliable. This would give developers an added comfort level when consuming their Web Services. This kind of service would have to be very strict, however, in order for developers to feel more comfortable with a third-party Web Service. Nonetheless, I think this service will enter the marketplace shortly, if it doesn t exist already.
Protecting Yourself When Web Services Fail
I already mentioned the importance of selecting a reliable Web Service provider. But what happens if a Web Service isn t reachable? Consider a sinking ship. You do not want to go down with the Web Services you consume. In the event a Web Service is unreachable, or if an error occurs in the execution of the Web Service, the ideal situation would be for the application to recover gracefully.
If you wrap your Web Service calls in a Try...Catch block, you can trap any errors that may occur in the execution of the Web Service. When an error is caught, you can put plan B into action. Plan B can be just about anything depending on your situation. For example, one possibility would be to display a user-friendly message indicating an error has occurred. Another example would be to store the output from the last successful execution of the Web Service in the Cache object. In the case of an error, you could pull the output from the Cache object rather than from the service. Although this would be an excellent solution, it is limited to situations in which the output from the Web Service is not changing constantly.
How Web Services Perform
Performance of Web Services is going to be a major factor when developers consider using them in their production applications. No doubt, executing a method contained within a Web Service will be slower than calling the same method on the local server. This is because the transfer of the data itself will take a given amount of time. How much time depends on a large number of variables, but there is no question the time will be much greater than that of a local object call. Therefore, developers will need to decide if the benefits of using Web Services outweigh the performance hit.
Earlier, I described the possibility of caching Web Service output for situations in which the execution of the service fails. For situations in which caching Web Service output makes sense, developers can cache the data returned from the Web Service for a given amount of time. That way, the remote Web Service is called only when the data in the cache expires. This would allow you to gain all the benefits of Web Services without sacrificing performance. That solution would work only for a small percentage of services. But, for those services, it would work well.
I hope you ve learned that although Web Services provide a number of new options, they also introduce a number of risks. You must be very cautious with the Web Services you consume and must protect your applications in cases of failure. As with the case of the COM DLL usage, you must be aware of versioning of components and be responsible in the choices you make.
Conclusion
So, are Web Services really as good as they sound? I answer with a firm maybe. Every situation is different. In some cases, Web Services make sense. In other cases, they don t. As developers, we need to weigh the pros and cons of the different options available in implementing our applications. I hope I ve provided you with a number of things to think about when considering using remote Web Services in your applications.

Welcome to my LinkedIn page. It looks empty because I'm never here. I don't log in, I never post anything, and I won't read any notes or comments you leave on this site. Nor will I accept any invitations or click on any "connect" links. I'm sure LinkedIn is a nice place; I just don't have the time.
If you're looking for me, visit my webpage at www.schneier.com. There you'll find my blog, and just about everything I've written. My e-mail address is [email protected], if you want to talk to me personally.
I mirror my blog on my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/bruce.schneier/) and my Twitter feed (@schneierblog), but I don't visit those, either.
Now I hear that LinkedIn is e-mailing people on my behalf, suggesting that they friend, follow, connect, or whatever they do there with me. I assure you that I have nothing to do with any of those e-mails, nor do I care what anyone does in response.
They have a nasty habit of sending invites to anybody on your address book.
I regularly get automated emails from colleagues' LinkedIn accounts imploring me to join - because my email address is in their address book, and they've searched for me on LinkedIn, it triggers an email.
There are other times they send these messages too I believe although your holding page should be enough to give people the message.
Maybe also mention what over social medial outlets you don't use so that people will know that this website/your email is your only genuine outlet to communicate with you.
just add "dailystormer" and they will permanently ban you from everything.
The interesting part of the current debate over Cloudflare's CEO in a bad mood zapping a nasty, hateful site (negative) and creating a fake account without verification (positive) is an interesting issue.
LinkedIn it's a horrible place, with an awful UI, mediocre user base, badly thought interactions and truly, truly no use at all.
Despite this, a bunch of people consider "professional" to have an account there, so they would consider you "unprofessional" if you don't have an account as well.
And since there's anyway the mini-tiny-smally-finy possibility that you'll need to have an interaction with one of those people, then let's have an account, and set the spam rules accordingly...
I signed up with LinkedIn long, long ago.
Marked the linkedIn profile as private after they leaked data (or was that a hack?) the first time.
Learned long ago to use a different email alias for each login. Never regretted that.

LinkedIn has a bad history of being and doing the worst of what social networks do including trying to forcibly steal your contacts, trick you into providing your email authentication so that they can get all of your contacts and build up your network. They also share your profile with recruiters and others even if you ask not to and say you are not looking for a job. They'll send you many various friend status and available jobs emails a month. They will mine your name and workplace and suggest that you might know someone or work with them and ask you to be friends with them.
Its a bad product that seems to be built on attempts to force participation.
I would probably --if I had ever used it-- not disagree with you, based on the nuisance thay have caused me and others in the past.
However the general advice when stepping in somebody elses territory --unless you are Genghis-- is to be polite to the natives, lest they hold it against you. After all offending people without good reason generaly gets you no advantage. The trick is be nice and educate slowley and nicely, that way the worst they will think about you is that you are "mostly harmless".
Just to make a point again, I do not participate in the normal "social networking", due to Linked in amongst others, I now nolonger even have a personal EMail account, and realy don't miss any of it in the slightest (good ridence to bad rubbish). I am in the process of reducing my Internet footprint further. Thus I don't have or want to have any online accounts any more. So no Internet shoping either, Amazon's compleat and utter scr3wups was "the last straw" in that regard.
I don't enable javascript or cookies and disable a few other things as well (often pictures and the like). If I can not see a website's textual content the chances are a little search engine magic will get the same or similar information from somewhere else. I view it this way, if you put a barrier in my way that's your loss not mine.
In short experience has taught me to be the Internet version of a grocery store manager's most loathsome customer, the so called "barnacle"...
I know that is sad for small websites trying to raise funds to stay up, but the simple fact is the price to me is way to high.
Apparently due to advertising idiots the average HTTP page size is now over 3MBytes... For those on capped Intetnet connections on the likes of mobile phones where they might only get 1GByte a month thats only 11pages a day on average... Which if a couple are "login pages" all of a sudden paid for newspapers etc start to look like good value again...

I get contact requests from accounts that appear to be fake a lot. They are usually fairly easy to spot. However, if I'd gotten one from your fake account I'd have thought it was real.
After 12 years on LI, I just got my first (contract) position from someone who contacted me via the service. I'd actually deleted my account for a couple of weeks 2 months ago but I reopened it to give it one more shot during the latency period they have for account deletion.
Since I'll be starting the job in a few weeks I doubt I'll use the account much from here forward.
Though I don't know why hacking would be necessary given that I'm being spammed with LinkedIn "connection" requests from people I don't know and never communicated with.
A related question: Is there any way I can check how many accounts Microsoft has on file for (on) me? I have access to my LinkedIn account - inactive, like 80% of LinkedIn accounts - but there are probably several Microsoft accounts that I have no access to but are linked to my identity. Between Microsoft gobbling up other companies and Microsoft vacuuming up personal information like a supermassive black hole at the centre of a dying galaxy, Microsoft's tentacles are everywhere.
Actually they kind of buried most of jobs websites but they won't be a Facebook.
This retard trend goes on and on for years...we have an application for selling shoes? Let's add to it profiles, news feed and photo albums because of course, people will start to share family photos, add pictures with cats and one day we will take Zuckerberg cake! It doesn't matter it's a weather application, let's make it a Facebook, if he did it we can too!
I'm more interested in how LinkedIn got Bruce's address book in order to spam his associates. I doubt Bruce would have given it willingly. I see three possibilities:
1) LinkedIn is really just that good at social engineering to get users to give up their contacts, and they suckered Bruce.
2) They're not that good, but Bruce was in a hurry and didn't pay much attention to what he was doing.
3) They didn't scrape Bruce's address book at all, but anyone who already had Bruce in *their* address books (and foolishly shared them with LinkedIn) got spammed.
there is at least one option not considered in the list. 4) someone used your email address as a search term at LinkedIn and they remember it forever. back in the day, one of the more efficent methods to locate someone's profile on LinkedIn was to use their email address as a search term. I'm not sure that works now, but I still see a stub profile for every or almost every email address that I searched. welcome to the borg. you have been assimilated.
I'm pretty sure that I searched LinkedIn using [email protected] as sometime between 2008 and 2011. I've seen plenty of spam via path 3) myself. it can be creepy when it suggests people that it knows that you know, even if you never exchanged email with them.
I am assuming its complex Terms of Service or future changes in Terms of Service, it’s ability to succumb to scams, digital scams and other confidence games and possibly to actually spread malware including [worms, viruses and scrapers] to the various Microsoft and other accounts you may get or have.
I really don’t think it reduces your attack surface. I believe you have much greater control over your blog.
Most folks don't want to pay for a domain name and a host service, but having your own name on a domain is what the pros(like Bruce) do.
'Social' media are creating hordes of malignant narcissists. Just look at The Donald.
I'm not a public figure, so it's unlikely that folks will set up fake accounts and have me 'saying outrageous things'. That said, I probably wouldn't care if they did.
Not familiar with this term. My best guess: describes the person who buys only staples, ignores impulse-buy displays, and pays cash. (That would be me.) Am I even close?
Are you also a "deadbeat"? That's the credit card industry's inside term for the card holder who never owes interest because he always pays the entire balance before it's due. That's most of it but there is a little more to it than that. The barnacle also buys up all the price reduced stuff and whacks it in the freezer... Rather than buy similar full store price equivalents. Likewise the barnacle will reach down low and stretch up high to buy those equivalent but non premium priced items. Premium priced items are not those at the highest price but maximum profit for the store. These are placed at the easy to grab hight for the hurried / lazy shopper. Often those items at the end of isles that are even easier to grab, are "placment" items that the store has got for effectively nothing thus pure profit... So don't buy them unless the price is realy good compared to equivalents.
As for being a "deadbeat" yes I was one when I had a credit card. It was prefreable to use it for getting over the "end of the month wait for pay day lows" and avoiding getting stung by "travel expense" pay back delays, which company accountants use mercilessly to their own advantage.
One trick I did use was to have a pre-pay card for security reasons (ie purchasing from unknown outlets etc). Basicaly I'd transfer just sufficient payment to the pre-pay just before use. Thus if the outlet turned out to be untrustworthy or their employees etc then there was no value for them to steal. Back then I'd transfer the value from the credit card which had a six month intrest free period as it was "new". I stopped doing this when the CC Companies wised up to the "free loans" they were giving us "deadbeats".
The problem I've found, is only having borrowed money to buy property in the last couple of decades, I've become a very poor credit risk... Yup apparently financial responsible behaviour is inappropriate behaviour if you should ever want to borrow money...
As they say the perversity of life has curious if not apparently immprobable outcomes.
Friday morning at 10am ET, Friday News Roundup- Domestic, and at 11am ET, Friday News Roundup- International, can be worth listening to.
For example, at least one contributor to PBS's "1a" (International on 18 Aug.) nominated 'Steve Bannon' to replace the current James Bond movie actor should he retire.
All criticism of LinkedIn is very justified. However, it is necessary evil, just like updating your resume or wearing suit and tie to an interview. Unless you happen to be somehow famous.
The trick to managing LinkedIn is not avoidance, this will close enough doors for you to be damaging to your career, but passive indifference with bare-minimum participation. I have it blacklisted everywhere, however ever year or two I keep mine updated. It has about as much information on it as my resume, and as much as I would like to keep it private, it is by necessity is out there.
I hate LinkedIn, WhatsApp, InstaGram, FaceBook, tWitTer, gOOglePlus+, all those stupid CamelCase ProGrammers, and all their brethren and kinsmen.
You may have that luxury, but the rest of us all have to be properly socialized online for the imposition of white national socialism in America. Aamtrak has the cattle cars ready to haul us "anti-social" security freaks off to the concentration camps.
Yeah, and that`s why I do Facebook like @K.S, with passive indifference with bare-minimum participation.
Part of my work history was re-classified because the SSA determined that it was not a bona fide exception to certain rules. Other work I've done, it was quit-or-go-to-prison, so I quit. Jobless, but to a certain extent free, at least not in prison, except that my right to possess a firearm was denied by some crooked mobster shrinks who had me permanently and irrevokably adjudicated as a mental defective by law.
or wearing suit and tie to an interview.
Sport coat. Slacks. Tie. Articles of clothing that either get in the way or do nothing to keep you warm, and cut off the blood circulation to your brain to boot. That get-up doesn't even look good. Plus, you have to be male, because if you're female and you don't sell your pussy, there are no jobs.
passive indifference with bare-minimum participation.
That's how you perpetrate Holocaust-level war crimes while evading culpability and punishment.
What ^^Me said. In an idle moment I once installed the Android app. Shortly thereafter the site started spamming with contact suggestions for family and friends with whom I had no work contact, and who weren't even active on the site (no profiles). It apparently sucked in all contacts in my Android phone. I was unspeakably angry about this, but I also knew it could never be undone.
Like others above, I maintain a basic LinkedIn profile for work-related matters, but can't wait for the day until I retire and can delete it.
Androis really needs to offer more fine-grained controls over what information you allow apps to access, but that is probably a topic for another day.

This antivirus application is free and users can access it in minutes. The antivirus can be downloaded by clicking on the download link and saving the file containing it in your PC. The download process is a pretty simple and should only take users few minutes. The file is very light approximately 1.1 MB which should not fill your storage capacity. Actually the whole download process should take a minute or two at most depending on the internet speed.
The ARTAV Antivirus download does not pose any problems when it comes to compatibility with the operating systems. The antivirus is compatible with all the operating systems and users don’t have to check their operating systems before they can start the download process. Users can then select the language and have the antivirus downloaded. Once the antivirus has been downloaded, users can easily install it by clicking on run or opening the file and clicking on the exe format which extracts the file, decompresses it and install it. The antivirus comes with three running modules which allow users to scan their PC within the shortest time possible.
There is a module for a full scan, custom scan and another module for removable which users can choose from depending on their needs. The full scan usually takes around ten minutes to scan all your files in a moderate computer. The custom scan on the other hand gives users the chance to scan few specific folders that the user will suspect to contain harmful programs. However, users may be forced to restart the computers when they are through with the scan but this is something common to most antiviruses.
It offers real time protection to your PC helping block the users from entering some malicious websites.

New IT Skills: Why Communication, Accountability, Initiative Are Hot Now (Click image for larger view and slideshow.)
Who in the enterprise should take the lead on cyber-security issues? And what role should the CIO play? These were the two main questions with which speakers wrestled during the MIT Sloan CIO Symposium, held in May on the school's campus in Cambridge, Mass.
During a session titled Cybersecurity: New Approaches to Assessing and Maximizing Your Protection, a panel of information security executives agreed that CISOs and their ilk are key players on the cyber-security battlefront.
Indeed, the importance of the role of CISO is well documented. According to the Ponemon Institute's 2014 Cost of Data Breach Study, one of eight factors having an impact on the cost of an enterprise's data breach is whether the CISO (or executive with a similar title and role) "has overall responsibility for enterprise data protection" and leads the incident response team. When this is the case, the per capita cost of a data breach is reduced -- on average -- by $10. (To help put that in perspective: The average per-capita cost of an enterprise data breach in 2014 was $201.)
[ Suffering from insomnia? Don't read Why Kasperky's Bank Robbery Report Should Scare Us All. ]
But, what should the link be between the CISO and the CIO? And, where does the CIO fit into the enterprise information security structure? In an informal poll during the session, the majority of audience members indicated by a show of hands their belief that enterprise security activity -- and, along with it, the CISO -- should fall under the CIO's purview. The panelists contested that notion.
"It's definitely a conflict of interest to have a security officer under [the CIO]," said panelist George Wrenn, VP and cyber security officer at Schneider Electric, because the performance of the CIO (who typically controls the CISO's budget) is often measured under interests that compete with good cyber-security practices. Instead, Wrenn said, the CISO should answer to a "non-technical role in the company."
Considerations of ethics and conflicts of interest can be paramount when it comes to making good security decisions -- as panelists demonstrated by drawing parallels to the 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. Investigators of that incident determined that safety issues received an undue lack of concern, as levels of "acceptable risk" were expanded in a culture where production was paramount and communication was flawed.
"[NASA] had to have X number of launches a year to justify the program financially," said Wrenn, alluding to what can happen when politics and budgets take precedence in security decisions.
At the same time, however, a big part of information security lies in managing levels of acceptable risk.
"It's really risk management and who does risk space … best … in your organization," said panelist Roland Cloutier, VP and chief security officer of ADP. Cloutier noted that data breach liability is a cost, and that's the mindset with which a board of directors makes decisions on information security.
"Everything comes back to cost," said panelist Nick Milne-Home, COO and president of 1E North America. "What has changed over the last year or so is the really, really clear [picture] of what that cost is."
Wrenn, for his part, voiced his preference that the CISO answer to the CFO because the CFO's priorities -- including those of cost management -- are more in line with those of the CISO than are the CIO's priorities.
Still, Cloutier maintained that the CIO has an important leadership role to play in cyber-security -- particularly when InfoSec is defined less as a cost center and more as a center for quality control.
For panelist Shuman Ghosemajumder, VP of product management at Shape Security, this is the paramount consideration. When asked what future CIOs should focus on in their education, Ghosemajumder was unhesitant in his response: "Number one: quality."
Ghosemajumder's solution to Cloutier's conundrum lies in "the explanation to the organization" of the import of cyber-security to quality. For all the cost considerations and risk assessment that go into information security decisions, Ghosemajunder urged executives to tell a story to their higher ups -- one that begins with: "Imagine this."It helps to change the DNA," observed Ghosemajumder.
What cyber-security story are you telling in your organization? How closely do you work with your company's cyber-security team? Who does your CISO report to? Tell us about it in the comments section below.

16. 16 APPENDIX How SFIA works
17. 17 Prototype SFIA’s skills and generic attributes work together The levels of responsibility, and specifically their generic attributes, are used together with the professional skills to describe overall competence. 18. 18 Prototype Sample of one of the 121 SFIA skill/competency descriptions Vulnerability assessment VUAS • Identifying and classifying security vulnerabilities in networks, systems and applications and mitigating or eliminating their impact. Guidance notes Activities may include — but are not limited to: • cataloguing and classifying information and technology resources (assets and capabilities) to support vulnerability assessment • assigning quantifiable value, rank order and importance to information and technology resources • identifying and analysing the vulnerabilities of each resource — manually or using automated tools and information sources • prioritising, scoring and ranking the risk associated with vulnerabilities • business impact assessment • mitigating or eliminating the vulnerabilities. • Vulnerability assessment tools include web application scanners, protocol scanners and network scanners. Vulnerability assessment: Level 2 Undertakes low-complexity routine vulnerability assessments using automated and semi-automated tools. Contributes to documenting the scope and evaluating the results of vulnerability assessments. Supports creation of catalogues of information and technology assets for vulnerability assessment. Vulnerability assessment: Level 4 Collates and analyses catalogues of information and technology assets for vulnerability assessment. Performs vulnerability assessments and business impact analysis for medium complexity information systems. Contributes to selection and deployment of vulnerability assessment tools and techniques.

(CNN) — A girl barred from coming into one among France’s most prestigious artwork galleries apparently as a result of she was carrying a low-cut costume has obtained an apology after sharing particulars of the incident on social media.
The Musee d’Orsay in Paris tweeted its regrets after the lady, recognized solely as “Jeanne,” additionally took to Twitter to accuse the museum — residence to a number of the world’s most well-known nude work — of “double requirements.”
Jeanne, who shared a picture of herself taken on the identical day, says she was initially denied entry whereas visiting Musee d’Orsay with a pal throughout a heat day within the French capital.
After questioning why she wasn’t allowed inside, the museum’s employees apparently pointed to her cleavage, leaving her “excruciatingly embarrassed.” “Arriving on the entrance of the museum, I haven’t got time to take out my ticket earlier than the sight of my breasts and my look shocks an officer in control of reservations,” Jeanne writes of the feminine officer’s response.
“At this second, I’m nonetheless unaware of the truth that my cleavage has develop into the topic of this controversy.”
One other officer, this time from safety, finally informed her that she had damaged the museum’s guidelines.
Double requirements?
Jeanne says employees informed her that “guidelines had been guidelines” and she or he would want to cowl herself up earlier than going inside.
Whereas the rules on the museum’s web site state {that a} customer “carrying an outfit vulnerable to disturbing the peace,” will be denied entry, it would not specify what kind of clothes would warrant this.

The vast majority of children in New Zealand use digital devices to support their learning, placing a demand on parents to support and actively protect children in this digital environment. Ensuring children are cybersafe and cybersmart is particularly important during this period of school closure. Being cybersafe or cybersmart is about developing the knowledge and skills required to make smart decisions and behave in safe, responsible, and respectful ways online. It is about behavior rather than technology. Here are four ways you can promote cybersafety at home.
1. Adjust the security settings on all digital devices
This involves logging into the security settings of each device, checking that software and operating systems are fully up-to-date and ensuring that security features, including firewalls, have been enabled. Tech experts suggest that firewalls are particularly important as they control the access that external networks and websites have to individual devices. It is also important to have strong passwords that are unique combinations of letters, numbers and symbols and that you change them every 30, 60 or 90 days. While some tech experts recommend installing specialised software that protects a device from external invasion such as viruses and spyware, they warn that many of these tools, or ‘tech solutions,’ are incomplete and should be used in combination with other approaches.
Digital security tools
There are dozens of security-oriented software programmes and apps available for parents and teachers. Organisations and online magazines like NetSafe New Zealand, Consumer NZ and Tech Radar post annual reviews of the best security software. Further, there are online tutorials that walk through the process of checking security settings and enabling features such as firewalls on devices using Microsoft Windows and Macs.
2. Establish clear guidelines for viewing digital content
Experts argue it is critical that we establish clear guidelines for the frequency (how often), duration (how many minutes/hours), and content of the material that children view in the home, taking heed of the latest research and following the recommendations of trusted national agencies. Here in New Zealand, guidelines for screen time are published by the Ministry of Health. Current guidelines state that screen time be avoided in children under two years of age and limited to less than an hour per day for children 2 – 5 years of age. International guidelines recommend that screen time be limited to two hours per day at home and four hours per day at school for children aged 6 – 17. They also recommend that access to inappropriate content be blocked and that we talk to children about what is acceptable and unacceptable content to view online. In most cases, it will be sufficient to have conversations about screen time and appropriate online content, although there are digital tools called parental controls that can help with monitoring screen time as well as tracking, managing or controlling the access that children have to specific websites, programmes and apps. Some are free to download while others have to be purchased.
Parental control tools
All Google and Apple (Mac) operating systems have in-built parental control restriction settings that can be adjusted to limit activity. Once these settings have been adjusted, you may wish to install additional controls. Some of the most popular tools on the market today are: ScreenTime (Free), Our Pact (Free), Google Family Link (Free), Norton Family Premier (Free for 30 days), McAfee Safe Family (Free for 6 months). Additional information about effective, free parental control tools can be found in Tech Radar’s Review of the Top 20 Parental Control Apps for 2020. It is possible to have more than one parental control tool installed on a device at a time, or to operate without any parental controls.
3. Educate children about safe online practices for creating, posting and reporting content
Educating children about safe online practices is no small feat. It involves imparting knowledge and providing opportunities for children to learn how to create and post appropriate online content as well as helping them identify inappropriate online content and report it. There are numerous resources available to support parents with these important tasks.
In addition to posting original content online, children may also post personal comments on educational sites or social media sites such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and Reddit (although it should be stressed that access to these sites is restricted to children 13 years of age and older). It is critical that they are taught how to post appropriate comments, which should be positive, constructive, informative, educational and/or supportive. They should not be in any way negative, hurtful, aggressive, derogatory, inflammatory, insensitive or prejudicial.
Some great educational resources have been created to help students craft online posts, create positive digital footprints, and respond to others in positive, productive ways. Parents can find more information here.
Net Aware, a British-based information site, is a fabulous resource for parents interested in keeping up to date with the latest apps, games and social networks. The site has articles and opinion pieces, links to relevant information, and the opportunity to ‘speak’ online with a digital tech expert. Here in New Zealand, Net Safe does much the same thing, providing accurate information on all ‘things’ tech.
There is a strong consensus that digital devices provide children and parents with incredible opportunities and genuine challenges. They are powerful tools for facilitate learning and social connection when used appropriately. Cybersafety is critical to enjoying these benefits and should be a main priority for everyone engaged in home-based learning. The single most useful site on this topic for New Zealanders is the Netsafe New Zealand website.

Open-Source INTelligence (OSINT) is produced from publicly available information and is collected, exploited, and disseminated in a timely manner to an appropriate audience for the purpose of addressing a specific intelligence requirement, as defined in the U.S. Public Law. For example, online searching through websites or social media to profile an organization or a person of interest is a form of OSINT gathering.
Cyber attackers collect OSINT for reconnaissance to develop weapons customized to the targeted victims. Cyber defenders can turn OSINT inward to identify vulnerabilities, or to investigate a cybercrime, such as to identify the point-of-entry of an attack.
This workshop covers the fundamentals of OSINT. It introduces several tools for OSINT gathering, from manual searching to integrative tools, to deep web searching. It is tuned towards a hands-on practice approach.
1. Open-source intelligence gathering on the Internet 2. Graphical intelligence exploration tool 3. Tor browsing and intelligence gathering from the dark web

In the first case I was removing malware from a friends infected machine. A notable top-level malware scanner removed all the bad stuff and gave a clean bill of health. However, when I visited Google from the machine it was obvious that one of the Google hijacks was still in place (Clicking a google search result takes you to an advertising or malware site). I installed and ran several other top rated malware scanners in deep scan mode– nothing to report.
I used autoruns to investigate everything that was hooking IE – couldn’t find anything overly suspicious. Finally Spybot’s RunAlyzer tool happened to display the hosts file – and there I could plainly see several search sites redirected. One reason I hadn’t check here was because I figured malware scanners would flag and remove search sites from here – especially ones like Google. Apparently not. I reported this to one of the vendors and received an email stating “While this may appear simple to you, it is in fact not. We may in the future add a host file fix routine but right now it is not high on the list of 'things to do'.”
I go do a google search and I’m still redirected to incorrect and damaging sites.
Google.com should NEVER be in anyone’s host file (well maybe a few Google employees).
hosts is a simple text file – easily editted by any malware scanner.
Maybe I’m missing something here, but to me it seems not only simple, but misleading to say a system is clean when host file redirects remain. I think some people will write this product off due to not being able to solve the most obvious external evidence that they have or had a malware infection.
Scenario 2: Certificate Stores not scanned
The second scenario was on one of my own machines. My son has a game which requires a CD to run. We paid for the game and own it, but I know how kids treat CDs – so I want to keep the original tucked away. The CD is, of course, copy protected. So I load up a popular tool for emulating a protected CD. This tool installs two things of grave concern – one is a service which protects its own service registry keys via in-memory monitoring of the key. This part is relatively well known and some research showed most malware scanners ignore this service because this software is so widely used and does not seem to have reports of being malware.
(It also turns out that the restore point created during this install is unusable (at least on my machine). Attempting to use it generated the error: “An unspecified error occurred during System Restore. (0x80070057)” - a previous restore point did work properly.)
I have taken to monitoring everything I install with a filter I have created for Sysinternals Process Monitor (procmon.exe). Install monitoring on a live system is more challenging than on a clean reference workstation due to all the additional processes and activity. One of the reasons I use process monitor for this is that I can customize it to leave out all the processes on my system that I know are doing good work – it is also easy to update the filter when I add software that has active processes. I will eventually be posting this filter to the CSI Windows Toolkit once I’ve got it working a little more smoothly. (If you would like to know when it goes live, be sure to subscribe to our blog here: Keeping In Touch.)
The monitoring showed a certificate being added to my certificate store. I investigated further and found a self-signed certificate added to my Trusted Root Certification Authorities store and flagged to be enabled for “All Purposes”. This means all future software and any websites that use this certificate will generate unalarming messages during UAC prompts and when I visit the websites. Some Googling revealed this certificate has probably had the same name for more than three years.
I re-ran my malware scanners and (drum role please)…you guessed it, nothing was flagged or removed.
Within this second scenario I was obviously installing some shady software (and was taking extra precautions by monitoring the install) – however, since there are no additional controls on certificate installations (above those provided for software installs themselves) – this approach could be used by any installer.
After this experience I feel some changes in malware scanners and Windows would be very helpful in protecting against these exploits:
Malware scanners and antivirus should be checking and fixing the hosts file – is never appropriate to find “google.com” be in my hosts file.
Malware scanners and antivirus should be checking and flagging added certificates that are not part of known and trusted certificate authorities – self-signed certificates should generate a warning and well known ones should be considered malware.
Since a certificate can give an unmerited level of trust to future software installs and website visits - Windows should prompt me when a new certificate is being installed – even if I have authorized the installer to run.
If anyone out there has experience with either of these scenarios and knows of scanners that catch them, I would love to hear from you – please use our contact form.

In the wake of a series of healthcare data breaches, the Electrical Trades Union (ETU) of Australia has joined the chorus of critics pushing back against the government’s plans to mandate use of its My Health Record (MHR) scheme.
Designed to improve the flow of healthcare data between hospitals, doctors, pharmacists and other allied health practitioners, MHR was recently shifted from an opt-in to an opt-out model in order to boost its takeup.
Australians have until 15 October to opt out of the scheme or automatically have an MHR record created for them – and a growing tide of dissent is pushing many to take that option based on an uncertain cybersecurity environment and the privacy risks that a centralised digital healthcare record poses.
Warning that the public “has been kept in the dark about the monumental changes to their health records,” ETU national secretary Allen Hicks said in a statement that the MHR program has “the potential for privacy breaches that could negatively affect their private and professional lives.”
The concerns of the ETU – which called for “urgent ministerial intervention” to improve privacy controls – revolve around unfettered access to data, which it says could adversely affect workers attending pre-employment medicals or those undergoing workers’ compensation assessments.
But they are just some of the risks of MHR that have emerged as the push towards the opt-out program gains momentum.
Days ago, for example, Singapore suffered its worst-ever cyber attack as the personal details of 1.5m patients – including prime minister Lee Hsien Loong and several ministers – were exfiltrated from major healthcare operator SingHealth.
A top-level inquiry has been launched into the incident, with the government’s Smart Nation initiatives – including mandatory participation in the National Electronic Health Record (NEHR) project – paused for the moment.
Closer to home, last month it was revealed that medical bookings service HealthEngine was selling patient information to third parties such as law firms for targeted advertising purposes.
In 2016, Medicare was forced into an embarrassing backflip after a purportedly deanonymized data set was released, then rescinded, after it was found to be vulnerable to reverse engineering.
Earlier this month, New Zealand’s Privacy Commissioner was warned about a potential privacy breach involving identifiable medical records of up to 800,000 Auckland residents.
Yet even as the Australian government pushes ahead with its MHR program – the Australian Digital Health Agency recently distributed nearly 20,000 MHR education kits to health practitioners and Australia Post offices across the country – security specialists are warning that the program must have better controls over access to patient data, particularly during medical emergencies.
“There is no such thing as an organisation that can’t be breached,” One Identity vice president Bill Evans warned in a statement. “With that in mind, the main concern for Australians should be the security of their medical data.” “Limiting damage after a breach of medical records is difficult. Unlike a credit card breach where you can simply turn-off the card and obtain a new one with a different number, medical records and specifically medical history cannot be changed. It is who you are and that is the real risk with this system: once breached, the ability to limit the damage is almost non-existent.”
Healthcare records are regularly found to be particularly vulnerable to compromise, with Verizon’s Data Breach Investigations Report 2018 finding that 56 percent of 750 analysed healthcare breaches were due to mistakes or abuse by internal staff. This gives the healthcare industry the “dubious distinction of being the only vertical that has a greater insider threat than it does an external threat,” the report noted.

John Savill Jul 28, 2016 Q. What on-premises components are required when using the Azure Site Recovery protection for VMware?
A. The protection of VMware VMs is enabled through an in-OS agent that sits between the file system and the volume manager and acts as a volume filter driver. As writes occur from the file system down to the volume manager the write is also sent to the provisioning server which is then sent to a master target component which duplicates the writes to its own mounted virtual disk, one for each protected disk.
For the components required on-premises is an ASR configuration server instance which is a VM that also acts as the provisioning server to act as the target for the initial writes. This is the only piece required on-premises. The master target component in Azure is now transparent and is just part of the ASR service and not an instance you have to manage.

Back in 2018, [Salah] created a prototype display that seems to defy logic using little more than a Pringles can and a fast motor. While not volumetric, this hack does show the same 2D image from any vantage point in 360 degrees around it.
How can cardboard create this effect? Somewhat like a zoetrope uses slits to create a shutter effect, this display uses a thin slit to limit the view of the image within to one narrow vertical slice at a time. When moving fast enough, Persistence of Vision kicks in to assemble these slices into a complete image. What we think is so cool about this hack is that the effect is the same from any angle and by multiple viewers simultaneously.
The project page and video demonstration after the break are light on details, though the idea is so simple as to not require additional explanation. We assume the bright LED seen in the video below was added to overcome the relatively dim appearance of the image when viewed through the narrow slit and isn’t strictly required.

Late last year announced the first-ever Google Android version that data on smartphones and tablets standard would encrypt, but now the Internet giant seems this measure does not oblige manufacturers. Android 5.0, better known as Lollipop, would "encryption by default" application.
Once users would turn on their device for the first time would be automatic data encryption. A measure that Google criticized investigators came to be, because this would complicate the fight against crime and terrorism. Ars Technica discovered that several Lollipop sets, including demonstration copies of the Samsung Galaxy S6 this week at the Mobile World Congress Barcelona can be seen, no default encryption application.
It also showed that Google earlier this year the guidelines for manufacturers regarding the proper implementation of Lollipop had adjusted devices. The document dated 11 January ( pdf ) is full-disk encryption is highly recommended, but not required. Google however, that the measure is likely to be required somewhere in future versions. One possible reason to drop the requirement is the load for the device, which would slow down by the continuous encryption. Whether this is the real reason is unknown. Namely Google has not yet written a comment.

Completely everything on WhatsApp is now encrypted end-to-end irrespective of the operating system you are using. The implication of this now is that even the engineers handling WhatsApp can’t even read your messages neither can they generally have a view of videos sent by its users. And they can’t even provide any data from your chat even if a courts orders them to.
No one else can read your WhatsApp chat as WhatsApp gets end-to-end encryption.
“WhatsApp’s end-to-end encryption ensures only you and the person you’re communicating with can read what is sent, and nobody in between, not even WhatsApp,” going by the explanatory details published WhatsApp’s website.
The user base of WhatsApp now runs into over a billion users therefore enthroning it firmly as the world’s most famous chat app. This end-to-end encryption move was not entirely a bolt from the blue, WhatsApp has been gradually pushing it on board as some hundreds of millions were already having a little taste of this encryption on Android since November 2014; only that the encryption wasn’t covering every message like photos, group chats and videos. Moreover there was no encryption for other systems like Windows Phone or Apple’s iOS.
“Now every message, photo, video, file, and voice message you sends , is end-to-end encrypted by default if you and the people you message use the latest version of our app. Even your group chats and voice calls are encrypted,” WhatsApp co-founder Jan Koum explained via means of a Facebook post on Tuesday.
Some signs informing the users that encryption has taken centre stage. There is now the appearance at the top of every new chat a text bubble which confirms that calls as much as calls are currently covered with end-to-end encryption. As a user, you can now also make verifications manually as to the encryption of a chat by making comparison of a 60-unit string of codes which is generated for each and every chat. Another way to know is via making a scan of very distinct QR code.

The Internet Crime Complaint Center received 2,474 ransomware reports in 2020, causing millions of dollars in damages, and those numbers will likely increase when the 2021 numbers are revealed. Ransomware is constantly in the news, leading to the question: what is ransomware and why is it so prevalent?
Various state agencies and the private sector keep track of ransomware attacks and related tactics worldwide, but malicious actors change and evolve their ransomware strategies all the time, making it hard to detect and block every attack. We’ve put together a comprehensive guide that will define ransomware, how to detect it, and what steps to take if you’ve fallen victim to a ransomware virus attack.
What Is Ransomware?
Ransomware is any type of extortion malware that locks your computer and demands payment in exchange for freeing your systems, hence the name. The ransomware definition can be boiled down to any type of cyberattack that encrypts its victims’ files where once attackers have infiltrated a system, they then demand a ransom in exchange for returning access to the data.
As part of the attack, victims are provided with instructions on how to obtain the decryption key by paying the ransom. Ransom fees can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, and in some rare cases, rising into the millions. In recent years, ransoms to hackers are often paid in cryptocurrency.
Locker Ransomware: Prevents the victim from accessing their machine. Once access is denied, the victim is prompted to pay the ransom to unlock their device.
Crypto Ransomware: Encrypts the user's data and prevents it from being accessed. The cybercriminal then demands money to decode the information. Cryptoware has become the most popular type of ransomware in recent years.
Master Boot Record (MBR) Ransomware: Makes it impossible for victims' PCs to boot into a live OS environment.
Extortionware or Leakware: Steals compromising or damaging information that attackers then threaten to release if the ransom is not paid.
Mobile Ransomware: Infects cell phones through drive-by downloads or fake apps.
Ransomware attacks have had success amounting to billions of dollars. Here are a few examples of recent ransomware attacks:
WannaCry: WannaCry was a ransomware outbreak that spread over 150 countries in 2017. It was created to exploit a Windows flaw and infected over 100,000 machines by May 2017. The attack wreaked havoc on several UK hospital trusts, costing the NHS £92 million when users were locked out and a Bitcoin ransom was requested. The hack revealed the dangers of relying on out-of-date technology and resulted in approximately $4 billion in global financial damages.
Ryuk: Ryuk spread in the middle of 2018. On PCs, the Windows System Restore feature was disabled by the ransomware, meaning users weren’t able to recover encrypted files without a backup. Victims paid the ransoms, and the total loss is believed to be $640,000.
KeRanger: KeRanger is considered the first ransomware attack to target Mac machines using the OS X operating system. KeRanger was included in an installation of Transmission, an open-source BitTorrent client. After three days of inactivity, it encrypted 300 distinct sorts of data. It then downloaded a file containing a ransom note that demanded Bitcoin and instructions to pay the ransom. The victim's files were decrypted when the ransom was paid.
Petya: Petya caused everyone a scare, but it was considerably less devastating than WannaCry. Petya mostly hit Ukraine with more than 90% of assaults, but victims also reported efforts in other parts of the world.
How Does Ransomware Work?
Ransomware attacks may disrupt business operations and leave companies without the data they need to operate or deliver mission-critical services, not to mention the damage to a company’s reputation after suffering a security breach. As a supplementary type of extortion, malicious actors have modified their ransomware techniques to include pressing victims for payment by threatening to expose stolen data if they refuse to pay. The monetary value of ransom demands has also risen, with some surpassing $1 million in extreme cases.
Malicious actors use lateral movement to target sensitive information and spread ransomware across entire networks. These actors also increasingly employ techniques that make restoration and recovery more difficult (or impossible) for targeted businesses, such as destroying system backups. Ransomware spreads swiftly and strikes hard, from malicious email attachments and false links to social media frauds.
Here are a few methods used by ransomware attackers:
Social engineering is a phrase used to describe the process of fooling individuals into downloading malware via a phony file or link. Malicious files are frequently disguised as legitimate papers (order confirmations, invoices, bills, and notifications) and look like they came from a trustworthy organization. It's as simple as downloading one of them to your computer, trying to open it, and bam! You've been infected.
Malvertising is the term for sponsored advertisements that transmit ransomware, spyware, viruses, and other malicious software at the click of a button. Hackers will invest in ad space on popular websites to obtain your personal information.
Exploit kits are ready-to-use hacking tools that contain pre-written code. As you might expect, these kits are designed to exploit vulnerabilities and security flaws created by out-of-date software.
Drive-by downloads are hazardous files that you didn’t request and may be completely unaware of. While you're surfing an innocent-looking website or watching a video, some dangerous websites take advantage of out-of-date browsers or applications to quietly download malware in the background.
Infection: The ransomware installs itself on the system and any network devices it can access after being transmitted through an email attachment, phishing email, infected program, etc.
Secure Key Exchange: The ransomware communicates with the hackers behind the attack's command and control server to create the cryptographic keys utilized on the local machine.
Encryption: The malware encrypts any data it finds on local computers and across the network.
Extortion: Once the encryption is complete, the ransomware shows ransom payment instructions, threatening data destruction or publication if payment is not made.
Decryption: Companies can pay the ransom and hope the hackers decrypt the files or recover data. This is done by removing infected files and computers from the network and restoring data from clean backups. Negotiating with cyber thieves is typically futile, as a recent study revealed that 42% of businesses that paid a ransom did not get their files decrypted.
Who Does Ransomware Target?
There are many methods through which ransomware criminals select the organizations they attack. It's also a matter of timing. For example, attackers may target colleges since they have smaller security teams and a wide user base that shares numerous files, making it simple to breach their defenses. On the other hand, large corporations are appealing targets because they appear to be more inclined to pay a ransom quickly and have the means to do so.
Government institutions and medical facilities, for example, frequently require rapid access to their information. Law firms and other businesses with sensitive data are more likely to pay to keep an attack hidden from the public, since these organizations may be particularly vulnerable to leakware assaults.
How To Detect Ransomware
Ransomware attacks are difficult to identify fast enough to avoid serious consequences. They’re installed through devious social engineering tactics, and sensitive data is scrambled using military-grade encryption algorithms. Once a computer or other endpoint has been compromised, ransomware may swiftly spread throughout the network, making it virtually impossible to respond in real-time. Often, the infected business is only aware of the attack after the ransomware has encrypted its data and made an announcement demanding payment. The following are signs of a ransomware attack:
Hundreds of unsuccessful file changes, among other strange file system activities due to the ransomware attempting to access those files.
Unexpectedly high CPU and disk activity due to the ransomware searching for, encrypting, and removing data files.
Access to some files is restricted, a result of ransomware encrypting, deleting, renaming, or relocating data.
Suspicious network communications as a result of the ransomware's contact with the attackers' command and control server.
How To Prevent Ransomware
The best form of ransomware protection is prevention. In order to take preventative measures, you'll need a keen eye and the proper security software. Vulnerability checks can also aid in the detection of intruders on your network. First and foremost, ensure your machine isn't a prime ransomware target. Make sure that you always keep your device’s software up to date to benefit from the most recent security updates.
Furthermore, proceed with extreme caution online, mainly when dealing with fraudulent websites and email attachments. However, even the most nuanced preventative measures might fail, emphasizing the importance of having a backup plan. A backup of your data is a good contingency plan in the case of a ransomware attack.
While no company is immune to cyberattacks, there are a few best practices that can decrease your chances of becoming a victim:
Educate your staff. Give workers a checklist of what to do if they get a questionable email or visit a suspicious website. Teach them to look for red flags in phishing emails.
Analyze your systems for any unusual activity. You should regularly scan file systems for unusual behavior, such as hundreds of unsuccessful file changes.
Monitor all incoming and outgoing traffic. Determine the usual user activity baseline and search for anomalies ahead of time. Investigate any odd behavior right away.
Set up honeypots. Honeypots are decoys, or false file repositories, that appear to be authentic. Honeypots will be targeted by hackers, allowing you to detect them before they widen their attack to your system. Early detection aids in the safe eradication of malware and saves your infrastructure from being hacked.
Implement anti-ransomware solution. Use whitelisting software in conjunction with antivirus and anti-ransomware software to detect risks.
Systematically examine and filter spam or questionable email content. Configure email settings so that incoming mail is automatically filtered and suspicious messages are not delivered to a user's mailbox.
Disconnect from the internet. First, disconnect all virtual and physical connections. This can help to prevent ransomware from spreading throughout the network. Wireless and wired devices, external hard drives, storage devices, and cloud accounts are all examples. If you believe that additional places have been impacted, follow the procedures below to restore those areas as well.
Use your internet security software to investigate. Use the internet security software you've installed to run a virus scan—this aids in detecting dangers. If you find any potentially harmful files, either delete or quarantine them. You can manually delete dangerous files or use antivirus software to do it automatically. Manual virus eradication is only suggested for experts.
Use a decryption tool. If a system has been infiltrated by ransomware, you will need a decryption program to restore access to your files.
Recover your data from a backup. Create a backup of your system externally or in cloud storage. Cleaning and restoring your device is far more difficult if you don't have any backups. It’s suggested that you generate backups regularly to avoid this problem. If you have a habit of forgetting essential items, employ automated cloud backup services or create calendar notifications to remind you.
Ransomware detection rate and speed are crucial in countering fast-moving assaults before propagating across networks and encrypting sensitive data. The first thing to do is isolate it from other computers and storage devices. Remove it from the network (wired and wireless) as well as any external storage devices, as you don't want the ransomware's command and control center to communicate across the network.
Be careful as there might be more than one patient zero, indicating that the ransomware may have infiltrated your business or household via numerous machines or that it may be dormant and has not yet shown itself on certain systems. Suspect all linked and networked devices and take precautions to guarantee that none of them are infected.
You can either try to eradicate the malware from your devices or wipe and reinstall them from secure backups and fresh OS and application sources. However, it's uncertain if you can successfully and eradicate a ransomware infection as there isn't a viable decryptor for every known ransomware attack. The newer the ransomware is, the more sophisticated it’s likely to be, and the less time there is to build a decryptor.
The most reliable approach to ensuring that malware or ransomware has been eradicated from a system is to erase all storage devices and reinstall everything from the ground up. You should format the hard drives on your system to guarantee that no vestiges of the virus remain.
Ransomware: The Bottom Line
Hackers are constantly refining their methods of delivering ransomware. The only way to mitigate the threat posed by online extortionists is to know how to recognize malicious actors and keep a close eye on the evolution of ransomware attacks. Unfortunately, this requires time and resources that may need to be reallocated from business-critical activities.
To stop ransomware attacks that come via email, you can implement next-generation integrated cloud email security that provides protection against the most advanced attacks, including ransomware, business email compromise, and more. Adding a solution on top of your Microsoft or Google environment will provide you with the best possible protection to prevent malware, ransomware and other attacks.

Although multi-nationals and SMBs alike have been targeted with ever greater frequency and success over the past few years, the Colonial Pipeline attack appears to have been a wake-up call for the government. It was followed just days later by a major ransomware-related outage at the world’s largest meat processor, impacting food supplies in North America and beyond.
Now Deputy National Security Advisor for Cyber, Anne Neuberger, wants US businesses to step up on cyber-security. “All organisations must recognise that no company is safe from being targeted by ransomware, regardless of size or location," she wrote. "We urge you to take ransomware crime seriously and ensure your corporate cyber defence match the threat."
All companies, regardless of size or sector, should certainly take note. Ransomware attacks have become the number one existential threat to their operations. Supply chains, including just-in-time manufacturing and distribution, have already been weakened due to the pandemic. Now they’re exposed to the threat of serious disruption through ransomware. It’s perhaps no surprise that the White House is gearing up to treat these attacks with the same gravity as terrorism.
For those ransomware affiliates launching global attacks with impunity, there’s currently little risk with high rewards. That means every year threat actor groups get richer and bolder in their tactics. Mitigating risk of ransomware attacks can only be achieved holistically. Organisations are transferring risk through larger Cyber-insurance policies, however these big payouts can be perpetuating the problem and causing big challenges for insurance companies. They are looking to change their policies or are moving to cancel or restrict their underwriting.
Government can play a broader role to reduce risk. They can increase regulation in hopes it creates risk reducing behaviours, however they could have an even greater impact by incentivising organisations to take action. This could take the form of grants or no interest loans issued by sector specific agencies to owner operators that adopt the NIST cybersecurity framework or provide them access to lower liability programmes in the form reduced tort liability, or limited indemnity. The federal government could also streamline regulation to reduce massive audit burdens and reward organisations through tax incentives.
Changing individual and organisational behaviour is a complex thing. And it will not happen overnight. But by showing how serious they’re taking the issue, the federal government and its industry partners can start to make a positive difference.
Check out my first blog where we looked at the three administrative sections and assessed their potential to be “bold changes” that rapidly reduce risk across the federal enterprise. We also assessed the potential impact to the other sectors.

Since the publication of the first edition of Good Practice Review 8 on Operational Security Management in Violent Environments a decade ago, the global security environment has changed significantly. New conflict contexts have created new sources of threat to international humanitarian action. Increasing violence against aid workers and their operations, including more kidnappings and lethal attacks, has had serious implications for humanitarian relief work in insecure contexts. Meanwhile, agencies themselves have become much more conscious of the need to provide for the safety and security of their staff.
To reflect these changes, the Humanitarian Practice Network has published a new version of GPR 8. The new edition both updates the original material and introduces new topics, such as the security dimensions of remote management programming, good practice in interagency security coordination and how to track, share and analyse security information. The new edition also provides a more comprehensive approach to managing critical incidents, in particular kidnapping and hostage-taking, and discusses issues relating to the threat of terrorism.

In its current situation report on IT security, the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) identified weaknesses in hardware and software as one of the greatest dangers. The office does not mention the fact that secret services and law enforcement authorities sometimes deliberately leave such security gaps open and – also according to the revised cybersecurity strategy of the federal government – are allowed to use them for the use of state Trojans.
After the BSI has declared “Red Alert” – at least in some areas – experts from science, politics and industry discuss what can be done better and how the authority, which is growing in importance, should be set up. “If security gaps are deliberately left open, then it is only a matter of time before they are maliciously exploited,” warns the Wuppertal professor for IT security and cryptography, Tibor Jager. Hoping that only the “good guys” would find a weak point was “completely naive and unrealistic”: “In this respect, every gap left open is a ticking time bomb.”
National security over IT security
Too often, legal politicians take the view that national security interests have priority over IT security, explained the Bremen professor for IT security law Dennis-Kenji Kipker to the Science Media Center. With this justification, ever more extensive powers of intervention would be created. “It should have been known for a long time that online access to IT systems in particular must meet the highest constitutional requirements and can therefore legitimately only be considered in absolute exceptional cases.”
The current balancing act “in no way does justice to this principle,” complains Kipker. For a very small number of potential interventions, the state is currently keeping open the option of “weakening countless IT systems across the board through inconsistent handling of security gaps”. It should not be “that authorities under the aegis of the Federal Ministry of the Interior should on the one hand promote IT security, but on the other hand actively undermine it”. It would only be consistent to provide for an immediate reporting obligation to those affected for all security gaps that have become known to the state and not to take advantage of weak points to consciously compromise IT systems.
Martin Schallbruch, director of the Digital Society Institute at the European School of Management and Technology (ESMT), believes that the entire preparation of serious crimes is increasingly taking place via encrypted communication. An important instrument for this is “the intrusion into the computer systems of such suspected criminals”. To do this, tools are used “which are necessarily based on security gaps”. In this respect, the state has a legitimate interest in using such weak points.
Report and close security vulnerabilities
In addition, it is important to protect citizens and companies from cyber attacks and to close security gaps, knows the former IT director in the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI). If the state became aware of particularly serious weaknesses, “they must be closed quickly by informing the manufacturer”. However, this does not apply to every loophole used by investigators and agents.
According to Schallbruch, the fact that authorities are subordinated to a ministry – as with the BSI to the BMI – serves “to ensure a democratically legitimized control of the administration with the help of the political responsibility of the government and control by the parliament”. At the BSI, for example, this does not affect its statutory mandate. For example, it has to report security gaps to the manufacturer “and must not hold them back”.
Nonetheless, the public has “an interest in advice on IT security issues that is independent of government and politics,” explains the future head of the Govdigital cooperative, which specializes in digital administrative services. As in the area of food safety, this could be organized “by setting up a federal institute for IT security that is independent of instructions”. This should provide scientific advice, but have no operational powers and impose no fines.
Sebastian Golla, junior professor for criminology, criminal law and security research in the digital age in Bochum, demands that “the existing confused system of state institutions for the protection of IT security as a whole must be critically evaluated”. The BSI, which emerged from an agency of the Federal Intelligence Service, could not take over all tasks related to the provision of IT security. It has received numerous new powers in recent years. When dealing with weak points, however, it would be better to “commission institutions to control areas of security and intelligence services that are sensitive to fundamental rights”.
The unchanged high level of danger in Germany in the IT sector makes it clear that a “stringently conceived IT security strategy” must finally be implemented, emphasized the technology policy spokesman for the FDP parliamentary group, Mario Brandenburg. In order to be able to react more agile to dangerous situations in the future, a comprehensive reporting obligation for discovered security gaps is necessary. Furthermore, “a really independent advisory” BSI is needed.
The Green parliamentary group deputy Konstantin von Notz has also been calling for “real proactive measures” for more IT security for years: “These include, among other things, a renouncement of state trading in security loopholes, end-to-end encryption and the strengthening of independent supervisory structures. ” Norbert Pohlmann from the eco-Verband der Internetwirtschaft emphasized: “Both the private sector and the public sector must give IT security the highest priority even more intensively than before and think along in all IT projects at all times.”

Purpose: Assess key county preparedness indicators. Identify partnership strengths and opportunities for improvement.
Top hazards in West Virginia were found to be diverse, spanning natural, technological, and human-causes. The 2018 West Virginia JRA State Report makes recommendations to guide future public health-led risk assessments, with specific considerations made for West Virginia’s unique demography and geography. See the links below to access the State Report and the 2018 JRA Tool. If you have any questions about these materials or the 2018 JRA please contact the Center for Threat Preparedness at (304) 558-6900.
In May 2011, the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health’s Center for Threat Preparedness (CTP) conducted a process to prioritize Public Health Preparedness Capabilities in order to plan activities for the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Public Health Emergency Preparedness five year (2011-17) grant period. Capability 1, Community Preparedness was identified as a priority for West Virginia. To develop this Capability, the CTP included a jurisdictional risk assessment (JRA) as an activity in the 2011/2012 grant application. The CTP renamed the JRA as a “Health Risk Assessment” or HRA, to distinguish it from the Hazard Vulnerability and Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessments (THIRAs) conducted by emergency management.
When the CTP initiated the development of its HRA in the fall of 2011, no states or jurisdictions had experience in conducting this type of assessment. In addition, only a single jurisdictional risk assessment tool was publicly available. This tool, built by the University of California, Los Angeles, appeared targeted to large urban health departments with significant data and resources. The CTP recognized the need to develop and conduct a HRA that would fit the unique capacity and requirements of West Virginia and other rural states interested in a community-based, participatory assessment.
To that end, the CTP engaged an Advisory Committee and a Working Group comprised of representatives from 6 state agencies, 7 local health departments and 2 hospitals. The concept for West Virginia’s HRA was developed using a literature review (including disciplines such as environmental health, hospital preparedness and emergency management), informational interviews with other state health departments, academic institutions, and continuous partner feedback and evaluation from both the state and local levels. The CTP adopted an integrated tiered approach to the HRA, with data from assessments within the 49 local health jurisdictions, covering 55 counties. The approach was utilized to provide a baseline data set to drive local, regional, and state public-health and medical preparedness planning.
Materials included in this assessment process are provided below. For more information or to access additional materials, please contact the Center for Threat Preparedness at 304-558-6900.

Apply Network Settings simply writes the required information to the Windows answer file (sysprep.inf, unattend.txt, or unattend.xml) and Windows Setup does the actual domain join in the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr step.
If Windows Setup fails to join the domain, it does not report an error back to the caller. However, it logs the attempt to join the domain to:
c:\windows\debug\netsetup.log (detailed logging of join attempt)
Consequently, if the domain join fails, the Task Sequence is not aware that something went wrong and continues to execute without reporting an error. This has been the source of some confusion. If the Apply Network Settings step succeeds, this simply means that the settings were successfully written to the Windows answer file. It is still possible for the domain join to fail during Windows setup.
Since the domain join is performed by Windows Setup, the machine will be joined prior to resuming the Task Sequence in the new operating system. If your infrastructure requires domain membership to access network resources, then this is likely the preferred method.
Apply Network Settings is designed to work seamlessly with Capture Network Settings to migrate domain membership from the old operating system to the new operating system.
Join Domain or Workgroup
Since Join Domain or Workgroup runs in the new operating system, after the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr step, the machine is not domain-joined until this step runs. Join Domain or Workgroup actually attempts to do the join itself. If the join attempt fails, then the Join Domain or Workgroup step will fail and report status to the Task Sequence Manager.
Join Domain or Workgroup is not designed to work with Capture Network Settings by default, so you'll have to add a custom step if you want to use the two together. In my next blog post, I'll explain how to customize your task sequence to use Capture Network Settings and Join Domain or Workgroup to migrate domain membership from the old operating system to the new operating system.

The track speaks of the time to heal our world and to belief that our world will all the time be a greater world for our youngsters. “Unfold love and good cheer everybody,” the Philippines Consulate captioned the video that has already garnered round 8,000 views, 20 hours after it was posted on Fb.
The music video begins with a newscast and clips present how the COVID-19 pandemic has modified the world. Then it exhibits a Filipina residing in isolation for a number of days. As Christmas attracts close to, the girl turns into apprehensive and determined, however she quickly will get cheered by household and associates. Greetings and presents are then shared to carry happiness to everybody. The music video additionally incorporates a cross-section of Filipino expats within the UAE: Knowledgeable who misplaced his job however continues to be optimistic in regards to the future; a volunteer who overcame his concern of the lethal virus and helped within the distribution of reduction materials to the needy; a frontline employee; and a COVID-19 survivor who shares her knowledge that now’s the time to “treasure each second with family members”.

Hackers are exploiting the Telegram messaging app by embedding its code inside a dangerous remote access Trojan, called ToxicEye, which can help them take control of your computer remotely, as per researchers at Check Point Software Technologies. How powerful is this malware? The ToxicEye remote access Trojan (RAT) can get inside your PC, leak its data, allow a hacker to remotely control your system and also install ransomware, claim the researchers, who also claim to have tracked over 130 ToxiceEye cyber attacks in the last 3 months.
According to the researchers, the ToxicEye malware has been used to steal sensitive information from systems like passwords, browsing history, cookies and other system information, delete and transfer data, record audio or video, kill the PC processes, steal clipboard contents, deploy keylogger etc.
How do the ToxicEye attacks happen?
As per the researchers, first hackers create a Telegram account with which to operate from and also a dedicated Telegram bot. This gives them the opportunity to connect with other users on Telegram via chat, adding people to groups or sending direct requests by entering the Telegram username of the bot and a query. Next, they bundle the bot token with the ToxicEye RAT or any other malware and send it as an email attachment. An example of the sort of infected attachment is a file named “paypal checker by saint.exe”, the researchers have divulged.
You open that email, which leads to your system being connected to the Telegram account of the hacker, which then opens a channel for nefarious activities. After you have opened that email, it doesn’t matter if you have Telegram installed on your computer or not. Since the Trojan has been implanted with the help of an email attachment, even deleting the Telegram app from your system won’t break up the connection of the device with the hacker’s Telegram account.

C-DAC has embarked on a comprehensive technological solution to combat COVID19 virus and strengthen our country’s efforts to take on the deadly pandemic called SAMHAR-COVID19 (Supercomputing using AI, ML, Healthcare Analytics based Research for combating COVID19). The programme is in partnership with National Supercomputing Mission (NSM) Consortia Members, Start-ups and Industries. This opportunity will provide researchers to find solutions for Identifying, Tracking and Forecasting outbreaks of COVID19 and Facilitating Drug Discovery as well.
Under the SAMHAR-COVID19 Program of C-DAC, a platform called NAADI: National Analytical Platform for Dealing with Intelligent Tracing, Tracking and Containment of COVID-19 for infected persons and quarantined people along with the Mobile applications for Health Experts, Law Enforcement Agencies and Citizens has been developed.
NAADI platform has many features that would be helpful to Administrators, Decision Makers, Health Workers and Common Citizens.

The University of California San Francisco (UCSF) admitted that it paid a ransom of $1.14 million to cybercriminals who threatened to release sensitive data stolen from UCSF School of Medicine.
“We made the difficult decision to pay some portion of the ransom, approximately $1.14 million, to the individuals behind the malware attack in exchange for a tool to unlock the encrypted data and the return of the data they obtained,” the institution said on a recent news release. “The data that was encrypted is important to some of the academic work we pursue as a university serving the public good.”
This attack reflects the growing use of malware–specifically, a software called Netwalker– by international hackers seeking monetary gain from U.S. universities.
Michigan State University and Columbia College Chicago were also affected. Michigan State announced last month that it decided not to pay the ransom.
The hackers initially demanded $3 million to UCSF. The ransom amount was settled on 116.4 Bitcoin ($1.14 million). A BBC Newes reporter, Joe Tidy, acceded the live chat room where UCSF negotiated with the cybercriminals and posted the terms of extortion.
Europol advised victims not to pay the ransom, as this finances criminals and encourages them to continue their illegal activities. “Instead, they should report it to the police so law enforcement can disrupt the criminal enterprise.”

This opinion piece is receiving coverage in a number of publications and has ignited the debate about just how effective anti-virus is today and why File Integrity Monitoring is now essential.
Whether due to complacency or naivety, the vast majority of organizations have failed to adapt security processes and procedures to reflect the changing threat landscape. For the vast majority of organizations Anti-Virus (AV) software, along with its Firewall side-kick, has been the standard weapon against Internet-borne threats for the past two decades. But in a changing threat landscape, AV is fast beginning to look past its sell-by date.
