On December 8th, the security company FireEye disclosed that it had been breached by an advanced, supposedly nation state-backed, attack group, and as a result- tools developed and used by the company’s red teams were stolen.
It was later disclosed that the attackers were able to infiltrate FireEye’s network by infecting updates of a popular IT infrastructure management software named Orion, with their malware. Orion is a SolarWinds product, used by many organizations, including many Fortune 500 companies and the US Treasury Department, which was affected by the campaign.
The malware is believed to had been distributed in Spring 2020, compromised Orion versions 2019.4 HF 5 to 2020.2.1, and most likely resided in breached networks for months without being detected.
The trojanized updates delivered a backdoor, dubbed “SunBurst” by FireEye and “Solorigate” by Microsoft, that allowed the attackers to steal data, which is assumed to be the attack’s primary goal. To avoid detection, the attackers had limited the malware’s capabilities, tracked security software installed, and put a lot of effort into making SunBurst’s network activity look normal. The breadth, sophistication, and scope of the attack indeed indicate it was perpetrated by an advanced threat actor with ample, state-level resources and motivation.
Although the attackers had likely planned for their actions to be hard to attribute to any specific attack group, many in the cybersecurity and intelligence communities believe that the attack group APT 29, aka “Cozy Bear”, was behind these attacks. The Russian Embassy in the USA denied this accusation.
The story of “SunBurst” trojan is still unfolding, and more chapters will probably be added to it in the upcoming weeks. It’s likely that more organizations, that were compromised by the malware, will realize it and publicly disclose this information, as well as the effect it has on their clients or others. The large interest in the attack and its scale will probably result in the release of more technical details and behavioral evidence, as many in the cybersecurity field investigate the attack and analyze the malware samples.
Putting Out the Fire
As mentioned earlier, the attackers stole tools developed by FireEye’s red team, to test their customers’ security. These tools can be used dually for malicious purposes as well, so knowing that they are in the wrong hands, FireEye released rules and IoCs, that can help security vendors detect and prevent the use of the stolen tools in the networks they are entrusted with.
Moreover, SolarWinds released an update and urged its customers to install it, so it could replace the compromised versions. We call on our customers and partners to update SolarWinds software where applicable.
As one of the leading cybersecurity companies today, Deep Instinct is always on the alert for new attacks of this kind and does everything in its power to ensure our customers are protected from any threat they might face. We are focused on expanding and monitoring all relevant IoCs and making sure Deep Instinct’s cybersecurity product line protects against them.

As people get more educated about phishing scams and how to spot them, we continue to see scammers create outlandish campaigns in order to bait people into entering their login credentials.
Such is the case with this new phishing email that states you wont be able to use you Excel due to a “system delay” unless you first login.
If a user clicks on the “Configure Excel and PDF Settings”, they will be brought to a login form hosted on SharePoint that pretends to be an Excel shared document.
If a user enters their credentials, the information will be saved so that attackers can access and it used for BEC scams or take over other accounts the victim owns.

Threat Analysis keeps a watchful eye on the dangers posed to SLA Operatives, employees and civilians alike, informing those whose job it is to deal with them; you, the Operatives. The classification of threats is split amonst the Four Cs – Corporate, Conflict, Cult and Collateral. Collateral threats are those that come from the corporate greed and exploitation resulting from the progress SLA Industries imposes in the World of Progress.
These are the enemies spawned from the universe SLA Industries has created.
The Cannibals, Carrien and Dream Entities are all a direct result of the actions of SLA Industries but the Aethernauts and Aether Trackers of Naga 7 do not stand alone in their fight against these enemies of SLA Industries. They are joined by an old ally, as the Manchine threat shows signs of returning to the fold.
Threat Analysis 1: Collateral is 224 lavishly illustrated pages of horrifying threats and supportive allies for SLA Industries: 2nd Edition. This tome contains dozens of threats for Operatives to deal with, familiar and new, all with easy-to-read stat blocks, updated for the S5S rules, and descriptive art and text to the standard you’ve become accustomed to from Nightfall Games. In addition to these challenges, you get chapters about the numerous gangs of Downtown, deadly Serial Killers, terrifying Manchines, and creepy Dream Entities.
Mort’s Collateral Threats
Introduction: SLA Industries has extensive files on Mort’s Collateral threats, stretching across sentient enemies like the Carrien and Cannibals, a wide variety of deadly fauna, and more recently, the esoteric Dream Entities. This introductory chapter covers what to expect with the book, and then provides a brief synopsis of the chapters that are to come.
Dream Entities: They are creatures that are born of fear, folklore and memory. Dream Entities materialise as a result of anomalies in the fabric of the universe. They appear as monsters to outsiders because their basis in reality is the bleakest thoughts and darkest desires. Despite their disturbing and horrifific visages they are closer corporeally to the people of Mort than they may dare to realise.
Mort City Gangs: They are the discarded and abandoned children of Downtown and Suburbia. Rather than end up as statistical deaths these desperate youths enter into the Charter of Gangs, taking that which was previously denied by force. The gangs in Downtown have changed over the decades, adapting to the streets that are ever changing before them, wherein the latest generation are the most aggressive, inventive and determined in recorded history.
Manchines: They are the horrors of a bygone age, created by SLA Industries to quell the riots in the Fall of 300. The switch from ally to enemy was swift in the Manchines, they had their own agenda and a new driving force: to shape themselves in the image of their creators and failed miserably. The Manchines are feared not simply because they are epitome of the blank, emotionless killer in robotic form, but because they crudely dress themselves in the skin and flesh of their victims.
Serial Killers: They are the broken, misled aberrations in Mort society, raised on a diet of televised gore, junk food and ingrained malaise. Serial Killers in Downtown are Civilians who have been swallowed by hate and frustration and left with nothing but an insatiable craving for fame and murder. Though they are utterly loathsome in nature, they are the media darlings and aspirational figures in Mort City.
Scary Monsters: They are the cruel invention of a scientist lacking in sanity, morals or restraint. The Vodanoy are a terrible combination of the worst genetic elements of countless species, but they take their physical strength and ingenuity from the Shaktars. Like their father Scarogg, they are devoid of feeling and will kill, steal, abuse and utilise anyone or anything that the Vodanoy believe is of use to them. They are greatly feared in Mort City and in Cannibal Sector 1, the place where they began their unnatural lives, the place where they earned their most common name – The Scavs.
The Children of Scarogg: This chapter provides information on a form of energy that underpins the world of SLA Industries. Understood only by the Ebonites and a few ancient species, the chapter begins with what the Ebb is and how it is used, before providing the rules of using it in game. The various “disciplines” that users of the Ebb specialize in finish the chapter.
Planet Mort Fauna: They are creatures twisted and altered by Mort’s pollution and an increasingly hostile environment. Whether in Downtown, the Cannibal Sectors or No-Go Zone the animal, insect and bird is forced to struggle and fifight, until it is as fifierce and tenacious as the Carrien and Cannibal.
Naga 7 Division: They are a cryptic organisation who date back to the Formation Era who have now returned to aid SLA Industries in a time of crisis. Naga 7 Division have been charged with examining and resolving anomalies within the World of Progress.
Index: An alphabetical list of stuff, with page numbers, for easy reference.

Cisco’s Talos intelligence and research group announced on Monday the availability of a new open source framework designed for automatically generating antivirus signatures from malware.
The tool, named BASS, has been described as an automated signature synthesizer. The framework creates signatures from malware belonging to previously generated clusters and its main goals are to improve resource usage and make malware analysis easier.
Talos says BASS is designed to reduce the resource usage of Cisco’s ClamAV open source antivirus engine by generating more pattern-based signatures instead of hash-based signatures. The tool can also help reduce the workload of analysts who write pattern-based signatures.
The Python-based framework is implemented as a cluster of Docker containers, which makes it easily scalable, and it leverages web services to interact with other tools.
According to Talos, thousands of signatures are added to the ClamAV database every day and many of them are hash-based. The problem with hash-based signatures, compared to bytecode- and pattern-based signatures, is that a signature is used to identify a single file instead of an entire malware cluster. This has several disadvantages, including a bigger memory footprint.
Pattern-based signatures are easier to maintain compared to bytecode signatures, which is why Cisco prefers this type of signature.
The BASS framework takes malware clusters from various sources and each file is unpacked using ClamAV unpackers. Once the malware cluster is filtered to ensure that the files correspond to the input expected by BASS (i.e. Portable Executable files), the binaries are disassembled using IDA Pro or other disassembler, and the tool searches the samples for common code that can be used to generate the signature.
The source code for the Alpha version of BASS is available on GitHub. Cisco Talos will maintain the tool, but the company welcomes any feedback for improving its functionality.

Acer may be the first manufacturer out of the gate with a Google Chrome OS netbook in the second half of next year, according to the latest Internet rumors. JT Wang, the computer manufacturer's chairman recently told DigiTimes that he was confident his company would be "the first vendor to launch [a] Chrome-based netbook" by next year.
Acer's interest in bringing a Chrome-based network to market quickly isn't surprising, given that Acer also wanted to be the first manufacturer to bring a Google Android netbook to market.
Google was clear when it first announced Chrome OS earlier this year that netbooks running the Web-centric operating system would be available in the last six months of 2010. But the report by DigiTimes show how bullish computer manufacturers might be about Chrome OS. Acer has been developing its Chrome OS netbook since mid-2009, according to unnamed industry sources who spoke with DigiTimes, which would have been several months before the company launched its dual-boot Windows XP/Google Android netbook in October.
That dual-boot netbook has not fared especially well, though. DigiTimes reports that demand for the machine has not been as "strong as expected." And, in his review of Acer's dual-boot machine--the Acer Aspire One D250-1613--PC World's Darren Gladstone was ambivalent about the device, and said it was "an update away from a better recommendation."
Regardless of the D250's fate, Acer may be confident that a Chrome OS device would fare better than its Android counterpart. The DigiTimes report didn't mention whether Acer would use Chrome OS in a dual-boot device, but given Google's focus on producing simplified devices running a Web-centric operating system that seems doubtful.
Acer is not the only company interested in producing Google Chrome OS devices. Google says it is working with several manufacturers in addition to Acer including Asus, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Qualcomm, and Toshiba. So far no launch dates or product specifications for any Google Chrome OS netbooks have been announced.
Get Chromium OS Now
Of course, you don't have to wait six months or more to run Google Chrome OS on a netbook. Several developers have already created builds based on Chromium OS--the open source version of what will become Chrome OS. PC World has a guide to help you get Chrome OS on a bootable USB key or you can use a version built specifically for the Dell mini10v.
The downside of these resources is that you're dependable on homebrew developers for any system updates. Actual Chrome OS devices, on the other hand, will update automatically in the background. But if you're dying to try out Chrome OS, and don't mind a little experimentation, then there's no reason to wait for Asus, HP, or any other company to bring Chrome OS products to market.

N2 - Despite rapid technological advances in computer hardware and software, insecure behavior by individual computer users continues to be a significant source of direct cost and productivity loss. Why do individuals, many of whom are aware of the possible grave consequences of low-level insecure behaviors such as failure to backup work and disclosing passwords, continue to engage in unsafe computing practices? In this article we propose a conceptual model of this behavior as the outcome of a boundedly-rational choice process. We explore this model in a survey of undergraduate students (N = 167) at two large public universities. We asked about the frequency with which they engaged in five commonplace but unsafe computing practices, and probed their decision processes with regard to these practices. Although our respondents saw themselves as knowledgeable, competent users, and were broadly aware that serious consequences were quite likely to result, they reported frequent unsafe computing behaviors. We discuss the implications of these findings both for further research on risky computing practices and for training and enforcement policies that will be needed in the organizations these students will shortly be entering.

Lockheed Martin Corp, the No. 1 information technology provider to the U.S. government, is working hard to better predict and protect against increasingly sophisticated and stealthy cyber attacks.
Lockheed, also the Pentagon's biggest contractor, is opening a second internal security intelligence center in Denver this week to complement the one it opened in May 2008 in Gaithersburg, Maryland, north of Washington.
Some analysts and software developers at the Gaithersburg center starred in a video Lockheed recently posted on YouTube, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSSBjpljvOA), which portrays the cyber security problem as a complex chess match between U.S. government and industry on one side, and a host of smart attackers from nation states and criminal groups on the other.
"It is a cat-and mouse game between the two sides," said Eric Hutchins, a Lockheed cyber intelligence analyst. "They're constantly trying to develop new ways of attacking us and we're constantly trying to develop new ways of defending us."
Cyber attacks are becoming more sophisticated, persistent, stealthy and targeted, Lockheed officials say, which points to greater activity by nation states and more criminal entities rather than the random, individual activities of the past.
Hitchens said Lockheed's analysts were processing 1 million "incidents" a day, trying to sort through the "white noise" to identify the highest-risk activities as well as possible patterns and likely targets. He declined to say what percentage of those events could be considered high-risk.
"The threat is increasing so fast and the impact is becoming more important that ... we have to be very creative and innovative and pick up our game," said Curt Aubley, chief technology officer, of Lockheed's NexGen Cyber Innovation and Technology Center (NexGen), a cyber research and development center that opened at the Gaithersburg facility in November.
The 25,000-square-foot center, built by Lockheed and a long list of corporate partners for nearly $17 million, features large open spaces for collaborative work by Lockheed, its partners and customers like NASA and other federal agencies.
It allows live technology exercises and is the anchor for a new live cyber "test range" that allows testing of software resilience in real and simulated environments. The cyber range is due to be completed by the end of the year, officials said.
PILING IN
Lockheed's increasing openness about its cybersecurity activities comes against the backdrop of heated competition with other companies like Northrop Grumman Corp, General Dynamics Corp, Raytheon Co, and Science Applications International Corp, for a share of the growing but fragmented market for cybersecurity and defense.
Boeing Co last year also made several acquisitions in the cyber sector to muscle in on a field where Market Research Media recently estimated the federal government will spend $55 billion between 2010 and 2015.
Loren Thompson, of the Virginia-based Lexington Institute, sees spending by the civil and defense parts of the federal government as somewhat lower, around $30 billion over the next five years, but said that does not include hard-to-estimate classified offensive cyber initiatives.
At this point, Thompson said none of the defense companies had a clear lead in the market. "Nobody has 20 percent of the market, and at the rate people are piling in, it's possible that no one will ever have 20 percent of the market," he said.
All of the traditional defense companies are also reaching out to commercial customers, given increasing concerns about financial losses and security breaches, especially after news in January that Google Inc, the world's top Internet search engine, had been targeted by cyber attacks from China.
Aubley called the Google attack a "digital commercial Pearl Harbor" that dramatically increased awareness.
Lockheed's approach is to try to get ahead of the threats, using a more proactive style that examines behavior patterns and detailed pattern analysis to identify possible cyber "campaigns," said Rick Johnson, chief technology officer for Lockheed's Information Systems and Global Services sector.
"You can look for patterns that look like they can do harm. You can get ahead of those before they manifest themselves as a known threat," Johnson said.
Rather than just focusing on any specific attack, analysts are using a "macro view" that can help predict targets before they are hit, Johnson said.
At the same time, Lockheed recognized that it would not achieve "100 percent prevention," and was working to increase the resilience of networks so that companies and government agencies could still operate even if they were attacked.
"The types of threats, especially in the security space, change every single day. So the ability to quickly adapt is huge," Aubley said, noting that Lockheed was working with customers at the new research center to provide solutions as quickly as a week after new threats emerged.

June 26, 2012 | By Jillian York Sudan Continues Crackdown, Arresting More Bloggers Sudan may not have "pulled a Mubarak" and shut off the Internet, but that hasn't stopped the government's attempts to silence vocal citizens online. Four days after we first reported his arrest, Usamah Mohammed Ali (better known as @simsimt) remains in detention, his whereabouts unknown, while Maha El-Sanosi was released over the weekend only to be arrested again today.
Last year, following the protests in Tunisia and Egypt that ousted Presidents Ben Ali and Mubarak, respectively, Sudan's ruling National Congress Party (NCP) stated that it had created a "cyber jihad unit" to "crush online dissent." Activists familiar with the unit believe that the government is now targeting bloggers and activists with the ability to reach an international audience, in an effort to ward off media attention. Although telecommunications have not been cut, some Sudanese Internet users have reported decreased upload speeds. EFF condemns the Sudanese government's attempts to stifle dissent and demands the immediate release of Usamah Mohammed Ali and Maha El-Sanosi. We will continue to provide updates on the situation in Sudan.

Adelaide may not be Australia’s largest city with just over one million inhabitants, but it certainly holds its own as a great place to live and work. Adelaide is one of the most progressive cities in Australia. From its earliest beginnings, Adelaide has been known for its religious freedoms, political progressivism, and promotion of civil liberties. The city also owes a deep debt of gratitude to one of its early founders for having the foresight to choose a location along a river and laying out the city in a grid pattern made up of wide boulevards and large public squares. He also chose to surround the city entirely by park lands. Not too shabby!
Adelaide is South Australia’s seat of government as well as a major commercial center. It has well-developed financial and business centers and is the site of many government institutions. Coupled with being a major center for health and technology research, the demand of IT professionals is strong. Adelaide cyber security jobs remain strong performers in the city’s growing economy.
Cyber Security Jobs in Adelaide
Adelaide and South Australia experienced a series of economic setbacks over the years due to periodic droughts and regional and global economic recessions. But each time, the city regrouped and bounced back even stronger. Investment and building projects led the way during these periods of recovery. The economy of Adelaide has evolved from one of a mining and agricultural-based economy to a well-diversified one.
The region’s largest employment sector is health care and social assistance. Retail, manufacturing, defense, technology and research, and services round out South Australia’s economic landscape. Auto manufacturing is also prominent and almost half of the cars in Australia are produced there. The defense and technology industry in Adelaide counts companies such as BAE, Lockheed Martin, and Raytheon as residents.
An interesting employment trend towards part time employment has taken hold in Adelaide. This may not be good news for expats seeking to live and work in Adelaide, but it makes things more flexible for Australian nationals. The good news is that the cost of living in Adelaide is substantially lower than in other Australian cities, particularly when compared to pricey Sydney!
Well-qualified IT professionals and those with STEM degrees have many employment options within Adelaide’s defense and technology sector as well as with private companies in most of the other economic sectors. Cyber security jobs in Adelaide can be found with not only defense and technology research companies, but also with financial services firms and banks.
Living and Working in Adelaide
Adelaide has a Mediterranean type climate and its summers are much less oppressive than Sydney. The city is ringed by outer suburbs, whose growth is causing the city’s highway system to get maxed out due to congestion. Adelaide has long been known as the “Twenty Minute City” due to being able to get end-to-end within twenty minutes.
Adelaide has much to offer in the way of sport, entertainment, and culture. There is a great deal of ethnic and religious diversity in Adelaide and it’s known as “The City of Churches.” The city is host to many international cultural fairs and being the state capital, is home to a great many cultural institutions such as museums, libraries, as well as a botanical garden.
Adelaide is a destination worth considering for living and working for both Australian citizens as well as foreigners seeking to relocate to Australia. You can find more information on obtaining an Australian work visa on our Melbourne cyber security jobs page.

The National Command & Operation Centre (NCOC) in collaboration with National Database And Registration Authority (NADRA) has launched a digital app to verify vaccination certificates issued to the people after their vaccination.
The step has been taken after fake certificate cases were reported in the media.
The vaccinated citizens can now verify the authenticity of their vaccination certificates using the “Vaccination Pass App”, according to NCOC.
The app allows the users to download the Covid vaccination certificate issued through Nadra and save it on the phone.
The digital certificate is official proof of Covid-19 vaccination, which is required for domestic and international traveling.
Using the QR Code, the digital certificate can be verified rapidly.

The NCOC earlier this week announced that complete Covid-19 vaccination certificates would become mandatory for air travel after September 10.
The nerve center of Pakistan’s virus response also took a major decision to speed up the vaccination process across the country.
The forum announced that the partial vaccination certificate would become invalid after September 10 “whereas all the provinces had been informed regarding this decision”.
The forum added that the interval between the second dose of all types of vaccines is reduced from 42 to 28 days.

March 20, 2008 | By Fred von Lohmann Monetizing File-Sharing: Collective Licensing Good, ISP Tax Bad Last week at SXSW, music industry veteran Jim Griffin broached the idea that file sharers pay a small fee through their ISPs in exchange for unlimited file sharing. There is a great deal to recommend an idea like this (as we've been saying since 2004), but there's a right way and a wrong way to go about it. We are big fans of a collective licensing solution for the music file-sharing dilemma: music fans pay a few dollars each month in exchange for a blanket license to share and download whatever they like; collecting societies collect the money and divvy it up between their member artists and rightsholders. It's not a radical idea -- that's roughly how we pay songwriters for radio play, concert hall performances, and the music playing in your favorite restaurant. But this should not turn into, as some have called it, an "ISP tax." Any collective licensing solution should be voluntary for fans, artists, and ISPs alike. We don't have a compulsory "restaurant tax" for songwriters -- there's no reason to have a compulsory "Internet tax" for file sharing. It should give fans what they want, rather than trying to withhold things from them -- after all, artificial scarcity is what got us into this mess. And it must give artists the freedom to choose among competing collecting societies, which is the only mechanism that will guarantee the kind of transparency and efficiency that much of the current music industry lacks. Read on for a quick reference guide to help distinguish a good collective licensing plan from a bad "ISP tax."
Voluntary for Music Fans. People who do not share music shouldn't have to pay for a license they don't need. After all, we don't have a "music tax on restaurants." Restaurants are free to experiment with no music, public domain music, or CC music, as they see fit. Internet users should have the same freedom. But this means that there will still be some enforcement against those who don't pay but keep downloading. That seems fair, and enforcement to get people to become paying subscribers will look very different from today's "mount a few heads on spikes to scare the rest" approach being used by the RIAA and MPAA.
Voluntary for Artists. Artists shouldn't be forced to participate if they don't want to. That said, the vast majority of creators and rightsholders will likely opt in, rather than opt to sue individual Internet users. After all, 99% of all songwriters are members of one of the three performing rights organizations (PROs) we have today. It sure beats having to find and sue every radio station every time it plays your song. Not a Collecting Society, but Collecting Societies. Freedom of choice for artists only means something if they have options to choose among. Competition is critical to keeping collecting societies honest and transparent. If you compare the three PROs that service songwriters in the US to the unitary, government-backed collecting societies in the rest of the world, our system wins hands down on these fronts. Voluntary for ISPs. There is no need to force ISPs to offer blanket sharing licenses to music fans. Some ISPs will voluntarily bundle the license with their offerings ("buy the all-you-can-eat music package for $5 more"), some ISPs may choose not to. Universities might choose to buy campus-wide licenses in bulk in order to stop the RIAA's college litigation campaign. Software companies like LimeWire might choose to bundle the license fee into their software, paid either by subscription fees or advertising. At the end of the day, it's the individual fan who needs the license, and she should have lots of ways to buy it. All the Music, From Anywhere. Music fans have made it clear that they are going to use whatever software they like, to download anything that can be found in any "Shared" folder on the planet, including the unauthorized concert recordings, the rarities, the old b-sides, and the alternate takes. It's time to figure out who should be paid for them, rather than wishing for a world where you can somehow make them disappear.
Technology Agnostic. Linux, Mac, Windows, iPod, cell phone. Downloads, streaming, buffered streams. Music fans want their music in whichever format, on whichever device, works best for them. Once you've paid, it's nobody's business where your music comes from or where it ends up. It should go without saying that DRM is has no place in this future.
Protects Privacy. Paying for music sharing shouldn't entail giving up your privacy. While the collecting societies will need to have some metrics of popularity in order to divide up the revenue pie, we should take our cue from television, where we divide up huge advertising revenues by relying on sophisticated sampling systems like Nielsen's. Sampling and surveys are good -- a perfect census of what every person listens to is not.

Before we move on, I'd like to say that geoFence is easy to use, easy to maintain.

LinkedIn has suffered a data breach of more than 92 percent of its user base including information phone numbers, physical addresses, geolocation data, and inferred salaries.
This personally identifiable information is seriously valuable to fraudsters who can use it to create sophisticated phishing and impersonation attacks.
The hacker who obtained the data has posted a sample of 1 million records. Various checks undertaken by industry watchdogs confirm that the data is both genuine and up-to-date.
The four leaked files contain different information about various LinkedIn users. There are ongoing concerns with how the threat actor will use the data, leaving many open to activities like phishing campaigns.
Examining the issue for concerned Digital Journal readers is OneSpan’s Chief Technology Evangelist, Benoit Grangé.
According to Grangé, the biggest concern relates to the type of data relating to users that is held within a social media system like LinkedIn. Here, just because LinkedIn focuses on ‘professionals’, this does not make the data entered any less vulnerable compared with something like Facebook.
Grangé says: “This breach is an unfortunate reminder of how vulnerable our personal data is online and that consumers must take action over their digital identity by taking extreme caution when dealing with any unsolicited communication that they receive and ensure that they have multi-factor authentication enabled wherever possible.”
This is an essential step, says Grangé: “That way, when identity leaks like this inevitably happen, consumers can be certain that they remain safe online. There is a lot of really sensitive information in this breach that fraudsters will look to exploit by targeting individuals with uniquely tailored phishing attacks to gain access to accounts or trick unwitting consumers transfer money.”
Following this, Grangé states: “No trusted organization would ever ask someone to part with money or their sensitive information via email, SMS or phone.”
There are other measures that need to be taken in relation to sensitive data holding institutions. Here Grangé observes: “Banks need to have tools in place to prevent fraudsters from committing application fraud using information like this to set up new accounts in the victim’s name.”
In terms of the appropriate measures, Grangé recommends: “By using the latest identity verification technologies such as AI and biometrics in their onboarding processes, financial institutions will be able to quickly and remotely verify whether an applicant is in fact who they say they are or not.”

Great event planning is about considering all of the possibilities surrounding your project, and ensuring you have the answers before you get asked the questions. When things go wrong at events, too often this is because the event organiser hasn’t considered the possibility of the incident or action occurring – almost all event failures are avoidable.
In thinking about risk for events, we believe that in great event planning the focus of ‘risk’ is broader than looking only at OH&S or safety risks that most of us think of. While these are no doubt vitally important, equally deserving of attention are reputational, financial and organisational risks.
A company staging a daring product launch involving a group of performers blocking traffic on Flinders St during peak hour for example certainly must consider the safety risk of people within live traffic, but arguably the biggest risk is reputational – will major disruption to the lives of thousands of people leave a positive brand association with potential clients or customers? Probably not.
To develop your own risk assessment for an event or project, think of the process of the assessment as a planning tool for your event – not just a way to create a document that no-one looks at. There are many templates and models available for risk assessments (RAE uses the ones from Worksafe Vic), however at its simplest, good risk assessment involves only two questions –
In answering question 1, think broadly about the outcomes you are trying to achieve from your event, and what might happen to prevent these from happening. Someone could be hurt at your event, your key speaker might not turn up, poor weather might ruin your plans, or you might not sell as many tickets as you anticipated.
To answer question 2, ensure that you have a realistic response (or range of responses) to the problem you have posed. For example, covering your entire outdoor event in a temporary structure in case of rain is unlikely to be a feasible solution, but some simple investigation of alternative locations that your event could be moved to in case of poor weather, or a simple and effective event cancellation plan could well be.
Importantly, you then need to ensure that the actions you have identified in your risk assessment become part of your event planning – a risk assessment full of ideas and strategies that are never implemented is worse than useless.
Right Angle Events always perform a basic risk assessment of any project at the very beginning of the planning phase. We find it helps us to identify a range of strategies and plans we can build into the event design to ensure the smooth running of the event on the day.
Over the years we have been faced with a huge number of challenging and bizarre event circumstances, but know from experience that making the risk assessment a central part of your event planning process is a major part of ensuring you have the answers on event day.

INSERT, the Information Security Research Team, has created a proof of concept that exploits Google’s SMTP service bypassing Google’s 500-address bulk e-mail limit and identity fraud protections.
This vulnerability enables an attacker to bypass blacklist/whitelist based email filters and freely forge all fields in an email message by having Google’s SMTP servers tricked into functioning as open SMTP relays. We were able to confirm that this vulnerability is indeed exploitable by assembling a proof of concept (PoC) attack that allowed us to use one single Gmail account to send bulk messages to more than 4,000 email targets (which surpasses Gmail’s 500 messages limit for bulk messages)

Windows Server 2008 Beta 3 memory requirements, as published at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/sysreqs.mspx, state that you need a minimum of 512MB of RAM, it is recommended to use 1GB of RAM and the optimal amount of RAM is 2GB for a Full installation and 1GB for a Server Core installation.
However, I imagined that would just make sense that Server Core could run with less RAM than a Full install. How much less, though? With a virtual machine with a brand new Server Core installation of Windows Server 2008 Beta 3 running under Virtual PC, I though it was easy enough to test it. Of course, you should stick to the published specifications, but it was interesting to see what happens if you have less memory.
My installation was a minimum one, with no roles configured. My test procedure was basically to install the system properly with the required 512 MB of RAM, shut it down, lower the amount of memory on Virtual PC, boot the system with the new configuration, logon as Administrator as soon as possible, immediately open Task Manager to inspect system memory, run a few commands (dir, ipconfig, netsh) and finally attempt to perform a clean shut down.
I was surprised to see that the system loaded just fine with 256 MB of RAM, with Task Memory showing 56 MB of free physical memory. It was only at 128 MB that I felt a significant performance hits due to page swapping:
At 128 MB, Task Manager showed only 2 MB of free physical memory, but that number quickly fell to zero after running a few commands. Some operations seemed to cause disk swapping.
At 64 MB, Task Manager showed 0 MB of free memory from start. 48 MB was the lowest memory where the system was able to run a few comands and shut down gracefully. Below that, the system wouldn't even boot anymore:
At 32 MB, the system failed to load with a message from “Windows Boot Manager” saying that “Windows failed to start” and pointed to the “Windowssystem32driversfltmgr.sys” under File with a status of 0xc0000017 and “Windows failed to load because a system driver is missing, or corrupt” under Info.
Up to this point, it was still possible to click F8 during boot to bring up the “Advanced Boot Options” menu.
At 8 MB, the system failed to load and apparently just stopped with a blank screen in graphical mode, right after switching from text mode after the initial BIOS POST.
At 4 MB, the system failed to load with a message saying simply “No physical memory is available at the location required for the Windows Boot Manager. The system can not continue.”
I also tried loading another virtual machine, originally configured with a Full instal of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise. I got much less impressive results. With a full install, the 128 MB VM was already swapping a lot, showing 0 MB free physical memory from start. At 64 MB, the system showed a severe performance hit and took over 15 minutes to show the desktop. I didn't try any lower than that.
Another interesting find is that the Windows Server 2008 DVD setup application will require more memory to boot than an already installed server. This happens because it creates a RAM disk. At 128 MB of RAM, the error message from "Windows Boot Manager" reads "Ramdisk device creation failed due to insufficient memory". With 192 MB of RAM, the DVD started to load but froze with a weird dialog box with a red X error icon and a button with no text inside.
With 256 MB of RAM, the DVD loaded properly. However, shortly into the initial wizard, setup refused to proceed with a message saying "Windows detected that the computer has 256 MB of RAM, but 512 MB is required for installation. Installation cannot proceed." I guess that messages do not get any clearer than that. The real interesting fact is that the setup did not complain about running after I gave the system 384 MB of RAM and the installation procedure ran fine.
So the Windows Server 2008 Beta 3 Install says it need 512, won't run with 256 but will not stop you if you have 384, although you will be in unsupported territory.
Although certainly unsupported, 384 MB of RAM seemed like enough memory to run Server Core with a basic role. I got around 150 MB of free physical memory after the system loaded. In fact, I loaded the DNS Server role and still had over 100 MB free...

A researcher who late last week pulled his planned public presentation on some newly discovered and deadly SCADA bugs contends that Siemens is unfairly attempting to publicly downplay the flaws and the nature of their exploitability.
Dillon Beresford, a researcher with NSS Labs, canceled his talk at TakedownCon 2011 in Dallas at the eleventh hour due to concerns about the contents' possible risk to human life. He had planned to reveal vulnerabilities and proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit code for flaws in Siemens SCADA industrial-control systems products.
Details of the research and on the bugs themselves are being closely held by Beresford, his colleagues, ICS-CERT, and Siemens, but the description of the so-called "Chain Reactions—Hacking SCADA" presentation certainly raised alarm and interest: "Combining traditional exploits with industrial control systems allows attackers to weaponize malicious code, as demonstrated with Stuxnet. The attacks against Iran's nuclear facilities were started by a sequence of events that delayed the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
"We will demonstrate how motivated attackers could penetrate even the most heavily fortified facilities in the world, without the backing of a nation state," the description continues. "We will also present how to write industrial grade malware without having direct access to the target hardware. After all, if physical access was required, what would be the point of hacking into an industrial control system?"
In posts to the SCADASec security mailing list today, Beresford noted that while he is free to give his presentation at any time, he'll wait until it's safe to do so given the potential ramifications. He said in a post today that "until the products are fixed and the patches have been carefully validated the presentation will remain out of the public domain. As for a definitive timetable on patches, who knows..."
Beresford and NSS Labs had been collaborating as of last week with Siemens and ICS-CERT to come up with fixes for the flaws. But, according to NSS Labs, the fixes Siemens came up with didn't do the job.
Meanwhile, Beresford has taken issue with a statement Siemens issued that says the bugs were found "under special laboratory conditions with unlimited access to protocols and controllers." The researcher contends that the bugs are not difficult to exploit: "I put the code into a series of Metasploit auxiliary modules, the same ones supplied to ICS-CERT and Siemens. For the explicit purpose of helping ICS-CERT and Siemens CERT in validating the vulnerabilities and the IMPACT of these vulns. These modules were going to be demonstrated during my presentation, not released until patches went out, but demonstrated for the 300 people who flew into Dallas, TX to see my presentation," Beresford said in a post today.
He says the "security feature" suggested by Siemens to remedy the vulnerabilities failed because he was able to bypass it within 45 minutes. Beresford says he notified the vendor and ICS-CERT of that finding. "I knew the feature was flawed from the moment they proposed the solution and explained it to me, because I broke much more than the PLCs," he said. The researcher used real controllers in his research, he said.
Siemens had not responded to press inquiries as of this posting.
ICS-CERT and Siemens were provided with details of the vulnerabilities and PoC exploits, and that both ICS-CERT and Siemens confirmed the NSS Labs discovery, according to NSS Labs.
NSS Labs says there are mitigation techniques that ICS operators can deploy prior to any patches. "Due to the serious physical and financial impact these issues could have on a worldwide basis, details are only being made on a restricted basis. Owners/operators of leading SCADA PLCs may contact us for further information and remediation advice," the company said in a statement.
But Beresford is not happy with the way Siemens is handling things PR-wise in the wake of the decision to hold off on disclosing the bugs. "The clock is ticking and time is of the essence. I expect more from a company worth $80 billion and so do your customers," Beresford said in his post.

BOSTON, April 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CSPi (NASDAQ:CSPi), a provider of security solutions, packet capture products and IT managed services, announced today the release of microHSM, at the 2018 RSA Conference, a new capability of the ARIA(TM) SDS platform - microHSM - providing full encryption and key management onto a CSPi Myricom ARC Secure Intelligent Adapter (SIA) FIPs-protected NIC.
By offloading this advanced security capability onto the Myricom SIA, microHSM not only replaces the need for a standalone HSM appliance, but it also improves application performance, decreases network latency and is deployable within any server. This approach saves customers 50 percent cost and delivers performance gains of up to ten times more than a traditional hardware security module (HSM). Additionally, the ARIA microHSM capability leverages industry leading key management technology from KeyNexus, combined with robust key management interoperability protocol (KMIP) capabilities from P6R to deliver a simple and seamless end-to-end KMIP experience not seen in the industry today.
"Our ARIA microHSM capability provides a secure, easy and low cost way for organizations to adopt and manage KMIP-based software encryption applications and still maintain a fully secured KMS server," said Gary Southwell, general manager, CSPi. "Others who wish to have the encryption functions, as well as the key management executed on our SIA will still have the full benefits of an HSM appliance outputting encrypted data at 40G but without the expense, latency and footprint."
There has been sizable market consolidation and lack of technology investment in the HSM market, resulting in stagnant, yet expensive solutions. Customers who rely on HSM appliances for highly-secure data encryption are faced with extremely high costs when rolling out such a solution at scale. In many cases, customers are forced to be reliant on out-of-date technology due to the lack of options. This leaves a gap in the market - a need for a plug-and-play, low-cost solution that can provide low latency and wire rate encryption speeds with all the security they expect from a FIPS 140-2 level 3-compliant HSM.
CSPi, in partnership with KeyNexus and P6R, has developed such a solution - ARIA microHSM. Leveraging KeyNexus' expertise in simple to deploy Universal Key Management, P6R's standards based KMIP technology, and CSPi's leadership in high-speed, intelligent adapters form a superior approach to fulfilling encryption and key management requirements.
"We believe that CSPi's microHSM with built-in KMIP technology is a potential game changer in both the key management and HSM marketplace," said Jim Susoy, chief executive officer, P6R. "The approach of merging KMIP and HSM functionality into a single endpoint is the future of these technologies and CSPi is leading the way."
ARIA microHSM empowers end users with an easy-to-use solution to manage encryption keys across the enterprise, including public, private, hybrid or multicloud environments. ARIA microHSM runs on a Myricom SIA NIC card that can be inserted into any PCIe server slot.
"The ARIA microHSM delivers much-needed innovation in the key management and HSM markets where the need to secure keys and data across a multitude of on-premise, cloud and SaaS environments has altered the traditional landscape for enterprises," said Jeff MacMillan, chief executive officer, KeyNexus. "Combining the power and secure architecture of CSPi's SIA with KeyNexus' unified key management approach delivers the performance, relevance and disruption enterprises have been seeking for years."
This approach is compelling as it not only eliminates the need to purchase a separate proprietary, single-function appliance but it is also highly scalable. Since the ARC SIA plugs into any server, it is simple to deploy additional ARIA microHSMs and have all instances centrally managed by a single ARIA SDS orchestrator. Having the HSM functionality resident in the server reduces latency, as well as network-connectivity issues. By offloading the encryption functions onto the Myricom SIA, application performance is improved. It's easy to deploy the SIA where and when needed as it fits in already existing equipment while doubling as a high speed NIC card.
CSPi (NASDAQ:CSPI) maintains two distinct and dynamic divisions - the High Performance Products, including the Cybersecurity Center of Excellence, and Technology Solutions - with a shared vision for technology excellence. CSPi's cybersecurity solutions protect an organization's critical assets to minimize, or remove, the impact of the inevitable data breach. Our ARIA Software Defined Security platform solves the complexities associated with securing devops environments, while our Myricom nVoy Series appliances provide automated breach identification and notification, enabled by the 10G dropless packet capture inherent in our Myricom® ARC intelligent adapters. CSPi's Technology Solutions division helps clients achieve their business goals and accelerate time to market through innovative IT solutions and security services by partnering with best in class technology providers. For organizations that want the benefits of an IT department without the cost, we offer a robust catalog of Managed IT Services providing 24x365 proactive support.

"Phishing is still the easiest way to compromise a user," says Ragan. Spear phishing hits specific users with a malicious attachment; for example, an Office document with macros enabled or a PowerShell script that overtakes their system.
Fincher agrees phishing is the simplest means to an end for cybercriminals looking for easy targets. She consistently sees users tricked into clicking on links via email or text, a method known as SmShing.
"The cost and threat is low, requires low technical ability on the part of the attacker, and has the potential to reach many targets as once," Fincher adds.

In the past few years, disruptive cyberattacks on retailers have become more common. Besides these companies having advanced cybersecurity measures being implemented, but still, cybercriminals tend to install malware to get hold of the confidential customer information leading to massive data breaches. According to Bloomberg, nearly 400 million customer records were exposed through the attacks on these companies.
Recently, the Cyble Research Team came across a leak post in which the Netwalker ransomware operators allegedly breached Canadian Tire and in possession of sensitive data of one of their stores located in Kelowna, Canada.
Founded in the year 1922, Canadian Tire is a retail company that operates in the automotive, hardware, sports, leisure, and housewares sectors. With 1686 store outlets, around 58,000 employees the company has been earning annual revenue of around $14.534 billion.
Netwalker operators have claimed the attack through the message posted on their online blog-:
The Netwalker group has also shared a few screenshots to support their claim in which you can spot data folders and files such as employee details, financial statements, bank reconciliation statements, staff login credentials, manager data, and much more. Below are the snapshots of the sample of the data leak of Canadian Tire.
It seems that the Netwalker ransomware group would tend to publish the company’s sensitive data within a period of 8 days.
Cyble is an Atlanta, US-based, global premium cyber-security firm with tools and capabilities to provide near real-time cyber threat intelligence.
Cyble Inc.’s mission is to provide organizations with a real-time view of their supply chain cyber threats and risks.

Concerted industry efforts are likely to produce a decryption tool for the WannaCry ransomware attack within months, the head of one vendor’s security team has predicted while warning that the attack’s emboldened creators may be using it as a distraction for other malicious activity.
Every security vendor has turned its sights to reverse-engineering the WannaCry code in the wake of its high-profile worldwide outbreak, Bitdefender chief security strategist Catalin Cosoi told CSO Australia, and the sheer numbers pitted against it meant a solution was going to happen one way or another.
“There is a war room in every security vendor’s offices,” Cosoi explained. “At some point it will open up – and while I’m not saying we will necessarily be the ones to do it, it will be a joint effort. These guys caused too much attention for us to not find a solution to the problem.”
Whether through sheer determination or by exploiting vulnerabilities in the code, researchers have previously been successful in developing tools to help victims of ransomware attacks including TeslaCrypt, CryptXXX and CryptoLocker.
In the case of TeslaCrypt, the crack came after the ransomware’s authors gave researchers the encryption key they had used – leading Cosoi to suggest that even WannaCry’s creators may end up pulling the plug in a similar way if they feel the attack has blown way out of control. This might be in exchange for a reduced penalty if they are caught, or simply because they are worried that the attack is causing much more damage than they ever expected.
Another possible scenario bodes much more poorly for victims, with Cosoi warning that the whole thing may be a distraction. “Since the entire industry is focusing on this ransomware,” he said, “it may be that other perpetrators are working their way around in a targeted attack on an institution where they want to steal something very important.”
The attack has served as a painful reminder of the importance of patching for companies that have failed to patch their old Windows systems – which WannaCry targets – and have often left them unchanged for years. Yet with the worm still very much in play and its creators likely to be reworking their use of the NSA-originated EternalBlue exploit, even companies that have patched their systems may be left exposed and many in the industry are warning that the worst may well be yet to come.
The success of WannaCry confirms earlier predictions, such as a new analysis by the Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology that predicted 2016 would be “the year ransomware holds America hostage”.
“One reason that ransomware is so effective is that the cybersecurity field is not entirely prepared for its resurgence,” the report noted. “Attacks are more successful when effective countermeasures are not in place. Information security systems exist to detect and mitigate threats, to prevent data modification, to question unusual behavior, etc.”

“After it is on a system, ransomware bypasses many of these controls because it effectively acts as a security application. It denies access to data or encrypts the data. The only difference is that the owner of the system does not own the control.”
Ultimately, the runaway success of the WannaCry ransomware has not only served as a wakeup call to businesses – but has forced the security industry to reassess its approach to handling vulnerabilities. The damage it has caused might, for example, create additional impetus for mandatory software updates that vendors have previously been reluctant to push onto users.
Whatever change comes from WannaCry – and however long it takes to crack as law enforcement picks up the investigation – Cosoi says the incident will be remembered for a long time to come.
“A phenomenon like this happens once every five years,” he said. “Since it has been a very media-ised event, it will be a wakeup call for all those people believing that nobody will target them – which is often why they didn’t update their systems. It’s a reminder for institutions and companies that security isn’t a joke – and that something will eventually happen that will bite you on the arse.”

LONDON — It's May and the sun is finally out after a long British winter. For many that means one thing: festival season.
It's a good occasion to disconnect from technology, go off the grid and enjoy a few days of carefree excitement. Or not.
Along with booze, music and mud — a lot of mud — British festivals may have another feature: mass surveillance.
Last year, Leicestershire police scanned the faces of 90,000 festival-goers at Download Festival, checking them against a list of wanted criminals across the country. It was the first time anywhere in the UK that facial recognition technology — NeoFace — was used at a public outdoor event.
Privacy campaigners — and Muse frontman Matt Bellamy — expressed their fury at authorities after they casually mentioned the use of the surveillance project on Police Oracle, a police news and information website. Police didn't use any other method to warn festival-goers about the controversial initiative.
Digital footprints
It's not yet clear whether UK authorities will use facial technology at music festivals this year.
Leicestershire Police told Mashable: "There are no plans to use live time facial recognition technologies during music festivals or other events in the next few months."
But they added that NeoFace will continue to be used by the force to identify suspects.
Glastonbury says it won't be using facial recognition.
Facial recognition is similar to obtaining an individual's fingerprints. Authorities told Mashable facial recognition technology is "speeding up investigations," and results over the past few months "have been very promising.
"The force has demonstrated how the NeoFace system can also save officers hours, even days by cutting out the need to go through its database of detained people’s photographs one by one," Leicestershire police said.
The software can compare dozens of measurements between key facial features on the subject's face from CCTV or police body cameras images against the 120,000 photos on the Leicestershire force's database of people it's has arrested and held in custody over the past few years.
Police told Mashable there is "absolutely nothing to concern privacy campaigners. "Since we began using the system in May 2013, the force has been as open and as transparent as it can and recognises legitimate concerns."
However, campaigners say its accuracy remains questionable, besides other issues around lack of consent and lack of understanding about how the data is processed, shared and stored.
Biometrics commissioner Alastair MacGregor, an independent advisor to the British government, has warned that image databases and face recognition could be used to track people's movements by "combining widespread CCTV and access to a huge searchable database of facial images. "The concept of facial recognition is moving towards a Blade Runner-type future. The question is: did I really give informed and explicit consent to this? Where's the transparency?" Raj Samani, CTO at Intel Security, told Mashable.
"In the case of festivals, it raises a lot of questions around what is done with our data once the event is over," he says.
In order for facial recognition to be of use, the data has to be stored. But it's unclear how the data is stored and protected or for how long it remains and when it's deleted.
It's nearly impossible to find out who the dataset is shared with or cross-referenced against, Christopher Weatherhead, technology officer at Privacy International, told Mashable.
"For example is the imagery being compared to law enforcement databases, medical databases, or social media profiles?" he said.
"Festival-goers should not be treated like suspects just because they wish to enjoy an event."
Privacy risks from apps
Many of the larger British music festivals are non-transferable, ticketed events, requiring a photograph — meaning there's a clear link between the ticket and the reveller purchasing it.
Weatherhead says it means festival organisers "have a large dataset" of unique and personally identifiable information before the attendee even arrives at the event.
The dataset includes contact and account information, payment and billing, information posted online or on a third-party social media site, personal preferences about products and so on.
Then, at the event, credit card transactions, open Wi-Fi access, and mobile apps can all leak private information.
Apps can be susceptible to exploitation because unlike web browsing they offer no guarantees that secure communication is taking place. Browsers are also risky as password and private information can be easily hacked by authorities and criminals from the open Wi-Fi, Weatherhead said.
"The organisers and their various partners are potentially able to access attendees’ data footprint, which can be huge and highly revealing," says Weatherhead.
With official apps, organisers can collect information about the user's GPS location, the device's unique identifier, the type of device or version of the operating system used; they can look at how often the app is used and where it was downloaded; they can also scan the music library in order to send information about events in the area. Not every festival app is set up to collect all this information.
When you download the Download Festival official app, a series of requests to access the user's accounts, profile data, calendar, location, photos, files and Wi-Fi info shows up.
Organisers of festivals such as Download, Isle of Wight, British Summer Time, Latitude say in their privacy statements that private data may be shared with parent companies, event partners, selected third parties, service providers, police and government agencies.
In some cases, the information-sharing includes the transfer of data to other countries, even outside the European Union, with laws that may not protect privacy rights as extensively as those in the UK.
Image: Download Festival App
"The digital footprint we generate at festivals creates a picture of our tastes, our interests, our friends, and our habits," Sara Ogilvie, Policy officer at Liberty told Mashable.
"Recent attacks by hackers on major companies like TalkTalk show just how easy it is for criminals to get hold of such highly valuable information too. Festivals are supposed to be relaxing, but getting back to work to discover you have to change your passwords isn’t fun."
Find out what's happening with the data you're sharing, experts say.
Generally speaking, British people aged 18-24 are slightly less concerned about privacy when using the Internet when compared with the general population, according to polling of 52,000 people by YouGov.
The least worried are the so-called "Selfie-stylers," a term coined by YouGov to indicate individuals who keep up with web trends. While just 36% agree with the statement, "I don't worry too much about privacy when using Internet," that figure rises to 46% among "Selfie-stylers."
"Digital data is like a tattoo, it's difficult to erase," said Samani.
"Once you give up your data, it's out there and as the case of Ashley Madison shows, it's not easy to delete it.
"What are they going to do with my data? That's the question you should ask yourself before buying your festival ticket. And make sure you're comfortable to whom you give information with."
As the festival season approaches, it's something you might want to consider, along with the weather forecast.

If you happen to use Microsoft Windows, you'll probably notice a lower inside your laptop overall performance more than time. Several authorities in the field have really provided this a term: "Windows rot". The general concept is that your Microsoft Windows computer just performs worse the longer you use it. This can be an untrue assumption. Slow laptop overall performance is usually a controllable aspect and in countless circumstances can simply be prevented and enhanced. Below are eight uncomplicated things you can do to stop a sluggish pc:
1.Do not install and uninstall a great deal of software program. The even more application you install and uninstall from Windows, the slower your laptop or computer will get. This can be simply because several applications leave traces within the registry of the pc, even just after they're removed. Be cautious about what you install and only use the software program you will need.
two.Be cautious of downloading freeware and shareware programs. Most freeware and shareware tend not to contain spyware or viruses. But, they're produced with a pretty limited budget and little testing is usually carried out. As a result, lots of freeware programs are so poorly written they are able to negatively impact your computer system performance. Attempt to read as various critiques about freeware goods as you're able to prior to downloading them.
3.Usually do not install games you download from the world wide web. Gaming web sites providing tons of totally free downloads are tremendously famous. As with porn web sites, a wide range of these free gaming web sites contain spyware and adware which will infect your system, run in the background with no your information, track your usage in the Web and reduce your laptop or computer efficiency.
4.Run Microsoft Windows Disk Cleanup utility at the least once a month. Microsoft's Disk Cleanup utility checks the tricky drive for unnecessary programs and other clutter like temporary World wide web files. You are likely to acquire Disk Cleanup located in the Begin menu below Accessories/System Tools.
5.Stay away from "shady" Internet websites. Websites supplying freebies, very good offers, pornography or gaming are notorious targets for adware and spyware.
6.Usually do not install "warez" or pirated application from newsgroups or file sharing services. Apart from the reality that pirating software program is copyright infringement and is illegal, it is also dangerous to your pc. This pirated computer software is usually made use of by hackers as a car to download spyware, malware and viruses.
7.Do not install too several fonts. Just about every font you install in Microsoft Windows utilizes memory. A program with as well a great number of fonts installed could possibly take a lot more than 5 minutes just to boot up. You might have plenty of fonts on your pc with no even understanding it, as several widely used office and desktop publishing applications can install them automatically. To help keep fonts from affecting personal computer efficiency, don't install a lot more than 200-400 in the most.
eight.Scan your laptop every day with an antivirus/antispyware system a minimum of once. This can assist eradicate the threat of infections and assist speed up a sluggish laptop bogged down by spyware. Stop-Sign's Web Safety Suite functions an all-in-one virus and spyware scanner you are able to easily schedule to clean your computer system automatically on a daily basis.
Following these eight straightforward actions will assist preserve your Microsoft Windows laptop efficiency as rapidly and efficient inside your computer's third year because it was on its third day.

Disclaimer: This is not particularlized, foolproof IT advice. We do NOT recommend that you “DIY” your company’s information security systems. Things change too quickly.
Nevertheless, I know that many of you will not heed that advice and instead will take a calculated risk and DIY-it anyway. So this is just my two cents. Maybe it will be useful – maybe not.
Was catching up on some admin today and as I clicked “send” on some of my client invoices, I realized that for all of the work that I do advising clients who have experienced phishing-related cyber incidents, I sure do send them a lot of things that say, implicitly or explicitly, “click here.”
Warning: It’s a bad idea.
Some of the most robust endpoint screening technologies remove links altogether, block non-whitelisted URLs, and pull together a barrage of technologies.
So while there are many excellent and affordable automated systems, there is always the core human element that is the weakest link in a security system.
OK, so you’re ready to hit send. BUT BEFORE YOU DO: Do you *Really* know this vendor? Have you sent payments to them before via this method? Have you spoken to them by phone and know that this online request would be coming your way?
Many times I’ve gotten a phone call 48 hours a well-suspecting employee authroized a wire transfer to a new vendor, without having ever (1) spoken directly to the vendor, or (2) spoken — and I do mean speak, as in real time, voice / video conversation, not an email — to their *boss* about the payment that they later initiated to Mr. Bad Guy with an overseas account.
So what I’m saying is that if you ever get an email from “[email protected]” saying to “Please immediately wire $765,000 to a brand new vendor in Singapore, to help close an exciting new deal for the company!” consider the possible alternatives.
Wire transfers are nearly impossible to reverse. International wires, REALLY nearly impossible. Otherwise you might end up a very sad panda. 🙁
TLDR: Be like Jim Gordon, not like sad panda.

January 11, 2010 (PhysOrg.com) -- The mathematician who deciphered the final, encrypted page of a letter sent to President Thomas Jefferson in 1801 will visit the University of Oregon to tell how he did it. The encrypted page -- a mystery to Jefferson and everyone else -- was solved in 2007 by Smithline, then 36, an expert in code-breaking. He detailed his solution in the American Scientist.
The letter was written by Jefferson's colleague in the American Philosophical Society, Robert Patterson, a math professor at the University of Pennsylvania. The ciphered page was devoid of capital letters or spaces and scrambled in a way that left no readable segments. Preceding pages had described the nature of the code but not the specific key required to unlock this message. The code was unlike any normally used at the time. Patterson predicted it would never be broken.
"This is a fascinating topic for historians as well as puzzle enthusiasts," says UO computer scientist Eugene Luks, who met Smithline in California, where Smithline described his solution to a group of cryptanalysts. "Jefferson, an expert cryptographer himself, was enthusiastic about the code. He recommended that it be used in diplomatic correspondence, but others did not appreciate his warnings about the weakness of the codes they were already using."
The solution involved both linguistic intuition and a computer algorithm to find the digital key. While the required 100,000 calculations would be easy on today's computers, Smithline's method could have been done over time in Patterson's day. In his talk, Smithline will tell how he was pulled into the mystery, how he broke the code and what was written on the page.
Lawren Smithline of the Center for Communications Research in Princeton, N.J., will speak at 4 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 26, in Room 100 of Willamette Hall, 1371 E. 13th Ave. Admission is free. The talk is part of the Distinguished Lecture Series of the UO's department of computer and information science and co-sponsored by the math department.

Magento is one of the best eCommerce CMS systems available today. Based on numerous IT-technologies, it has flexible modular architecture and an agile ecosystem that can be continually adapted, customized and extended for an e-commerce website, benefiting from a large variety of embedded features like data catalog management, marketing tools, analytics, SEO engine optimization, reporting, etc. Choosing the right platform is the only first step.
The other, equally important, side of the coin is how to ensure the eCommerce system is constantly available for lots of concurrent users. The answer is in proper system architecture and in the ability to be scalable both vertically and horizontally.
Thus, to enable you to launch such a solution with minimal effort, the Jelastic team has developed a dedicated auto-scalable clustered Magento package.
Being deployed in a single-click manner, the Magento Cluster runs a complex container-based failover topology.
Below you’ll find some details on each cluster component’s functions, preconfigured auto-scaling settings, and a simple step-by-step Magento user guide describing how to get your own highly-available clustered Magento CMS up and running within the Cloud in several minutes.
MySQL DB Cluster – MySQL database servers with asynchronous master-slave replication between them to achieve high availability, improve data protection, and alleviate system failures.
Herewith, each container within a cluster receives the default vertical scaling limit up to 8 cloudlets (equal to 1 GB of RAM and 3.2 GHz of CPU) and a set of load alerts (to notify you when the resource consumption is close to the limit).
Also, it’s worth noting that when you scale either Load Balancer or Application Server layer, the appropriate configurations are automatically adjusted to include the data on all application server nodes the load should be distributed across. In addition, the application servers layer is automatically scaled by the system based on the amount of incoming traffic in order to handle the changeable load. Further, we will cover how such complex topology can be deployed in Jelastic.
1. Open the Marketplace frame, search for the Auto-Scalable Magento Cluster package and press Install. Note that this clustered solution is available only for billing customers.
2. In the installation popup window, type Environment name and optional Display Name (environment alias), select the preferable region (if several are available) and click Install.
3. The environment installation and cluster configuration will take a few minutes until you see a popup window displaying your direct link to the Magento Admin panel with credentials to access it via a web browser.
4. Press Open in a browser to reach a landing page of the pre-configured Magento Theme LUMA, that allows using your Magento eCommerce system right after installation.
5. From the same popup window, you can access an admin panel of the eCommerce system. Here you can find a big variety of store management tools, categorized within separate tabs according to the provisioned options – e.g. Marketing, Sales, Catalog, Customers, Stores, etc. To start with, you can build a catalog for your online store as the very base of any e-commerce service. For that, compose the required catalog structure and fill it in with the proposed merch items.
6. Let’s take a look at the topology you got after installation. As you can see it is pretty complex. Also, it can be tuned with respect to scaling needs to ensure high availability, especially during different commercial events e.g. “Black Friday”.
You can adjust or create new triggers, applying them to all of the stacks in your environment. To do that, click on environment Settings button, then open Auto Horizontal Scaling and follow the guide.
For Magento Auto-Scalable Cluster the appropriate modifications are automatically applied to add/remove application server nodes. And you will receive the corresponding email message on each scaling operation. Each new application server instance is automatically added to the load balancer configurations, and nodes in the LB layer are restarted to apply the updated settings.
The Varnish instance can be scaled manually based on the alert notifications from the platform in case of necessity. The default alert settings can be reviewed and changed in the Settings > Monitoring > Load Alerts section.
Normally for Magento eCommerce systems in production, the External IP address is used for the cluster entry point (Varnish in our case) for more secure connection. It should be bind to a custom domain and registered in DNS as an A records. If Varnish is scaled out, a new instance must be bind to the same custom domain and registered in DNS as the A record with a different public IP.
This clustered solution can help you build an eCommerce system from scratch or move existing Magento project to the scalable cloud. There is a special package that imports data from other Magento platforms to ease the process of migration.
Get rid of any doubts and experience the easiness and flexibility while running your own Auto-Scalable Magento eCommerce system pre-configured by Jelastic PaaS.
Interested in building Magento managed hosting business? Automated installation, scaling and updates simplify the management and support of customers requiring little to no involvement. Start offering this cluster to your users with minimal investment of time and efforts.
Jelastic team will contact you within 24 hours.

I have been thinking about vulnerability lately, a lot. My family had a weird week. Four members of our family were in the hospital within the last week, three ER trips, one ICU stay. We were spread out, at work at home, states apart. All of us checking in and connecting, trying to make sure everything was OK, that everyone was OK. I am so thankful for things like modern communication. We didn't have to write letters and send them by pigeon or pony express. We didn't ring up insane phone bills on our land lines. We Facetime talked with each other and texted back and forth. Extended family and friends kept in touch via Facebook, it was all so very closely linked and in real time.
Then over the course of the week I read another post by my dear friend Sarah where she expressed an entirely different vulnerability (read here it is beautiful). Of course we all have areas where it is difficult for us to feel entirely comfortable in our own skin, circumstance or situations that bring to light our deeply held insecurities and fears. Facing them head on is such a tremendous challenge, but honestly it is probably the best way to move forward.
While I was in the ER with Elise on Friday they gave her some medication as they set her arm and had someone there to monitor her breathing, little tubes in her nostrils giving her oxygen. I had to sign the "just in case" paperwork that makes me want to vomit and grab my family and live in a padded room off the grid... but then there would be other worries I suppose.
As I held Elise in my arms that day I was struck by how very delicate we are, on so many levels. Her little body is so very small in a big and dangerous world. My heart, as well as everyone else who knows her, is so fragile when it comes to her or Cordelia or anyone else that I care about (and I care an awful lot).
Later that evening I was talking with Eric about it and he sagely reminded me that vulnerability is one of the best parts about being human. Darn it. I know he is right. Our greatest joys are often our weakest points. Of course we do have to find a balance and not live in padded off the grid caves. Our internal vulnerabilities, those things about which we are personally delicate---our insecurities---are often the places we find our greatest strengths too.
Oh this life we are living you guys, it is mighty strange.
And, for those of you in need of an Elise update we went into the orthopedic doc yesterday (don't get me started on what a hassle it was to get in) and they X-rayed the bone. Thankfully the set they did at the hospital seemed to be good, meaning no more bone moving. He was afraid that removing the plaster splint would undo that set and decided not to put her in a cast yesterday. So the nurse did a solid job of wrapping the plaster and it is a firm wrap with a hard interior. Feels pretty sturdy. We will go in next week to X-ray again and see what the next step is. I would also like to mention that Elise was freakishly charming and I overheard the doctor and the X-ray tech discussing adorable things she had said and done in their presence. When we left she was coated in stickers (see photos) before we left, everyone was charmed and heartbroken by the little lady with the broken arm. In fact, when people would crouch down and say, "ooooooooooh what happened?" Her response was, "I broke my arm, but I be OK. I got my mommy."

These new releases advance VMware Cross-Cloud Architecture, which enables customers to run, manage, connect, and secure their applications across clouds and devices in a common operating environment. The Cross-Cloud Architecture delivers consistent deployment models, security policies, visibility and governance for all applications, running on- and off-premises, regardless of the underlying cloud, hardware platform or hypervisor.
“We’re thrilled with the innovations, the new products, the technology,” said Pat Gelsinger, CEO of VMware, speaking on stage at the event. “Again, we will face forward to the future.” “Some researchers have suggested that the efficiency and scale of the cloud will lead to a decrease in the overall IT budget, but I firmly disagree,” he continued. “We believe that a cloud that makes IT more accessible, more efficient, more operational, becomes a force to expand IT.”
Enterprises count on their hybrid cloud environments to boost business agility and accelerate application deployment on the path to digital transformation, added Raghu Raghuram, executive vice-president and general manager, Software-Defined Data Center Division, VMware.
“These new releases will deliver significant new customer benefits including support for containerized applications in production and simplifying operations at scale with these new releases. They represent important building blocks of our Cross-Cloud Architecture to help customers scale out their hybrid clouds.”

Since the age of 8, I have been interested in all things religious. Being raised as a Catholic, I never felt like that belief system was for me .
While living about 45 min away from Salem Massachusetts, Home of the Salem Witch Trials, I had the opportunity to learn what the tragic consequences of religious intolerance can be. Today the prejudice lives on of one and other. From that point, I sought to create an environment , where all could worship in their belief as they choose freely, without fear of persecution from those who know nothing about them and yet label them ‘Enemy’ . It is my goal to provide a place for all to worship their God(s)(ess) whoever, whatever and however they believe.
After all it is your relationship with your higher power that counts.
After much research, I personally chose my own path to enlightenment and have stayed with it for the past 25 years. Although I do not believe in a singularity I am blessed to see and experience the vastness of other belief systems throughout the world at an arms reach.
Though ordained with the universal faith system, I felt it was time for a new concept of an Universal /Coexist church from the ground up. I have appointed my Officers and their faiths are as diverse as one can get making this Axis Sanctuary and Chapels truly universal/Coexist Church from the ground up.
We all have a voice and in unity (or simply united) through an ideal that is stronger than the differences we all have can bring us together in acceptance or at least tolerate the differences. Only then can we stand together and stronger for our common goals.

September 14, 2016 Information, Technologies and Telecomdata breach, jeskie, personal information, privacy, Sandra Jeskie, security, spokeo, standingSandra A. Jeskie
Since the Supreme Court’s decision in Spokeo v. Robins, courts have begun to ratchet back prior decisions on the minimum standard to plead an injury sufficient to establish Article III standing. The recent Eighth Circuit opinion in Braitberg v. Charter Communications adds to the growing number of cases defendants will rely upon to get data breach cases dismissed at the pleadings stage. Braitberg addressed standing in the context of the retention, use, and protection of personally identifiable information. Although the case did not involve a data breach, its holding is however instructive when defending against such cases.
In Braitberg, plaintiff alleged that he was required to provide personally identifiable information to purchase cable services and that the cable provider improperly retained his information long after he cancelled the services in violation of the Cable Communications Policy Act (“CCPA”).
Prior to Spokeo, such claims would have been sufficient to establish Article III standing because the Eighth Circuit permitted the actual injury requirement to be satisfied solely by pleading that there was an invasion of a legal right that Congress created. The Supreme Court in Spokeo held that Article III standing requires a “concrete injury” even in the context of a statutory violation.
With the benefit of Spokeo’s guidance, the Eighth Circuit acknowledged that Spokeo superseded its prior precedent. Accordingly, the panel affirmed the district court’s dismissal of the complaint for lack of Article III standing and failure to state a claim. In doing so, the panel rejected arguments that CCPA created standing to sue where the defendant merely retained the data in violation of the statute with no other injury. It further rejected an economic argument that retention of the data deprived plaintiff of the full value of the services received from the company.
This decision is important for two reasons. First, the Eighth Circuit further narrowed the scope of allegations that will give rise to Article III standing in a post-Spokeo world. Second, in denying the economic argument, the court cut off an alternative avenue by which plaintiffs have successfully alleged harm.

Twenty years ago, Michael Treacy’s The Discipline of Market Leaders, argued that market leadership came from a laser focus on dominating in one of three key areas: customer intimacy, product leadership, or operational excellence. You could be good in many things it argued, but you had to dominate your space in one of these categories to be the leader. While these are still important, they won’t provide the edge a business needs in today’s world to gain ground on its competitors.
Competitive advantage in the near future will not come from a focus on traditional business models. It will be achieved by embracing machine learning (and increasingly artificial intelligence). Any company that is willing to accept this reality and take it to heart can compete against much larger competitors.
There will still be plenty of challenges, even for companies that integrate deep learning technology in their business model. Artificial intelligence can only help your business if you are asking it the right questions. You must be focused on gathering data that you can use. Machine learning algorithms will not work if you have not done the ground work to gather the right information from your customers.
[ 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. ]
Google and Amazon can tap into massive data sets and they are using them to their advantage. That might not be so important without artificial intelligence technology, but with it, it is a game changer. It is the reason that they can win in any business they choose to take on – including yours.
Both companies have embraced machine learning and integrated it into their corporate culture. For them it is not just another tool, it is the driving force behind their business model. This philosophy sets them apart from almost every other business, including other tech giants. They can use artificial intelligence to analyze a library of digital data and gain valuable insights into any industry they chose to enter.
Big data analysis drives the AI business model
In recent years, we have witnessed an astounding increase in the availability of digital data for analysis. Google and Amazon are using machine learning to find patterns and gain insights that otherwise would not be available. Every business they are involved in now uses artificial intelligence to help drive success. It gives them a competitive advantage, but other companies can still compete if they embrace the technology as well.
Sure, Google and Amazon have an edge because of the real time and constantly updated flow of information they have access to, but any company can emulate their model with forward thinking. Your CIO needs to be an integral part of business decision-making – not an afterthought. Any business that continues to look at technology as just another business tool is going to struggle.
The artificial intelligence revolution will transform business
Artificial intelligence is going to transform business and industry. Those that do not embrace it will quickly be left behind. Machine learning software can discover insights from massive amounts of data that simply would not be possible using traditional methods. These insights will drive business innovation and open possibilities we have not even thought of yet.
Amazon and Google are already operating with a business model that embraces artificial intelligence. The belief that technology exists to empower workers, but not to create innovation is an outdated concept that needs to be abandoned. Businesses that use artificial intelligence to analyze data and develop strategies will be the corporate leaders of the future.
Change the way you look at the corporation
Amazon and Google are looking at all possibilities to incorporate deep learning analysis in every facet of their business structure. It will become the central plank around everything they do – if it is not already. This is bound to lead them to create new branches that do not exist today. No business or industry is safe from this competitive threat.
The only way to remain competitive against these innovation leaders is to become more innovative. We need to rethink how we view the corporation and how it operates. In the next decade, the CIO will become the most important component in a firm’s success – with the possible exception of the CEO. Companies that fail to recognize this need for a realignment of their structure will continue to lose ground.
Using artificial intelligence to drive business success is already a common practice in many industries. Machine learning software is used for everything from recommendations of what to watch on your favorite streaming site, to what ads are displayed while you surf social media.
Human behavior cannot be controlled by artificial intelligence, but it can be understood by it. That understanding can lead to a greater focus on offering the right product or the right service to the right customer. Amazon and Google already know this, and it is time for everyone else to make the transition or risk being the victim of their next success.

Researchers devise encryption key approach that cannot be cloned, reverse-engineered.
By A'ndrea Elyse Messer
Data breaches, hacked systems and hostage malware are frequently topics of evening news casts — including stories of department store, hospital, government and bank data leaking into unsavory hands — but now a team of engineers has an encryption key approach that is unclonable and not reverse-engineerable, protecting information even as computers become faster and nimbler.
"Currently, encryption is done with mathematical algorithms that are called one-way functions," said Saptarshi Das, assistant professor of engineering science and mechanics, Penn State. "These are easy to create in one direction, but very difficult to do in the opposite direction."
An example of this is multiplying two prime numbers. Assuming the original numbers are very large, reverse engineering from the result becomes very time and computer-resource heavy.
"However, now that computers are becoming more powerful and quantum computing is on the horizon, using encryption that relies on its effectiveness because it is monumentally time consuming to decrypt won't fly anymore," Das said.
Only truly random encryption keys are unclonable and not capable of being reverse-engineered because there is no pattern or formula in the process. Even so-called random number generators are really pseudo-random number generators.
"We need to go back to nature and identify real random things," said Das. "Because there is no mathematical basis for many biological processes, no computer can unravel them."
The researchers, who also included Akhil Dodda, graduate student in engineering science and mechanics; Akshay Wali, graduate student in electrical engineering; and Yang Wu, postdoctoral fellow in engineering science and mechanics, looked at human T cells. They photographed a random, 2-dimensional array of T cells in solution and then digitized the image by creating pixels on the image and making the T cell pixels "ones" and the empty spaces "zeros."We need something secure, and biological species-encrypted security systems will keep our data safe and secure everywhere and anytime." — Akshay Wali, graduate student in electrical engineering and research team member "When we started there were a few papers out using nanomaterials," said Dodda. "However, they weather (nanomaterials) out of the material and are stationary."
"We need a lot of keys because the population of the world is 7 billion," said Das. "Each person will generate a megabyte of data every second by 2020."
Besides encryption keys for personal computers, the keys are also needed for medical, financial and business data, and much more. If something is hacked or malfunctions, this method would also allow rapid replacement of the encryption key.
"It is very difficult to reverse-engineer these systems," said Dodda. "Not being able to reverse-engineer these keys is an area of strength."
The researchers are currently using 2,000 T cells per encryption key. The team reports in a recent issue of Advanced Theory and Simulation that even if someone knows the key generation mechanism, including cell type, cell density, key generation rate and key sampling instance, it is impossible for anyone to breach the system. It is simply not possible from that information to bust the encryption.
Other Penn State researchers working on this project include Andrew Pannone, undergraduate in engineering science and mechanics; Sahin Kaya Ozdemir, associate professor of engineering science and mechanics; and Ibrahim Ozbolat, associate professor of engineering science and mechanics.

Micro Focus has purchased Interset to unlock machine learning and user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) capabilities to aid with threat detection analysis.
The software giant said its acquisition of cybersecurity startup Interset will help drive deeper data insights and help customers quickly and accurately validate and assess risk. Interset provides security analytics software that's focused on protecting businesses from cyberthreats.
"We're bringing in some industry-leading analytics and domain expertise that will enhance the technologies we already have," said Joe Garber, Micro Focus's global head of strategy and solutions.
The deal will enable Interset to honor its original mission and vision around security operations while at the same time providing the company with a broader platform to extend its vision, said Ross Sonnabend, Interset's SVP of strategy and operations. Sonnabend will lead Interset's operations within Micro Focus since Interset CEO Mark Smialowicz will be stepping away from the company.
Interset and Micro Focus have been working together for more than a year as part of an OEM arrangement, Sonnabend said. As a result, Sonnabend said Interset was exposed to Micro Focus's people and culture, determining that both organizations are very focused on engineering.
"It was just a good fit," Sonnabend said.
In the short-term, Interset will continue to operate as a separate entity and be sold as a standalone tool, Garber said. But over time, Garber said Micro Focus wants to leverage Interset's capabilities across its analytics portfolio through integrations with the ArcSight security information and event management (SIEM) platform and NetIQ identity and access management tool.
Analytics will be increasingly important to security customers going forward, Garber said, as customers look for more insight into how they should best go about securing their applications and infrastructure.
"You don't need to protect everything all the time," Garber said. "You need to protect the right things in the right way."
From a channel perspective, Interset and Micro Focus partners will continue to sell their own product portfolios until the integration work is complete, with cross-sell opportunities remaining limited, Garber said. But once the two businesses are integrated nine to 12 months from now, Garber said Interset's channel program will be incorporated directly into Micro Focus's.
Interset has primarily worked with OEMs and MSSPs, while Micro Focus has a broader partner portfolio with expertise in security, risk and governance as well as legal and compliance and analytics, according to Garber and Sonnabend. All of Interset's employees except for Smialowicz will be joining Micro Focus, Sonnabend said.
Interset was founded in 2015, and employs 83 people, according to LinkedIn. The company has raised $24 million in two rounds of outside funding, according to CrunchBase.
Interset is the 13th acquisition Micro Focus has made in its more than four decades of existence, according to CrunchBase, and comes nearly 14 months after the company purchased COBOL-IT, a vendor of open-source COBOL offerings. Security capabilities acquired by Micro Focus via acquisition include ArcSight and Fortify in 2010, Identity and Access and ZENworks in 2014, and Voltage in 2015.

To explain in more detail how all of this works let me first quickly recap Thunderbolt 3 security levels: Thunderbolt tunnels PCIe to connect peripherals and thus allows for direct memory access (DMA); this makes in fast but can be used as an attack vector. In order to prevent DMA attacks Thunderbolt 3 introduced different security levels: none (SL0), user (SL1)2, secure (SL2) and dponly (SL3).3 In both user and secure mode the device needs to authorized before the PCIe tunnels to the peripherals are established. This is done by boltd, a system daemon that manages a list of trusted devices. After Thunderbolt devices are enrolled, i.e. stored in boltd trust device database, the daemon will automatically authorize those devices as soon as they appear. Devices are identified via a unique identifier (UUID). But since the device itself is reporting the UUID to the system, a malicious devices could pretend to have the UUID of a already trusted device. To prevent this secure (SL2) mode uses a per-device key that is generated by the host and stored in the device so it can be used to verify the device identity.
As mentioned above, boltd is the user space component that will authorize the devices. As a consequence if boltd is not running, nobody is authorizing the device and the device will not be able to function. Two of important instances where boltd is NOT running but you might want use the mouse and keyboard in BIOS setup and probably way more important during early boot, to enter the LUKS password.
Recent BIOS versions enabled support for storing a limited list of UUIDs directly in the thunderbolt controller. This is called the pre-boot access control list (or preboot ACL), in bolt simply called "bootacl". The devices corresponding to the devices in the bootacl will be authorized during pre-boot (and only then) by the firmware. One big caveat about this feature should be become obvious now: No device verification can happen because only the UUIDs are stored but not the key, so if you are using SECURE mode but enable preboot ACL in the BIOS you effectively will get USER mode during boot.
The kernel exposes the bootacl via a per-domain sysfs attribute boot_acl. Every time a device is enrolled, boltd will automatically add it to the bootacl as well. Conversely if the device is forgotten and it is in the bootacl, boltd will automatically remove it from the bootacl. There are is small complication to these seemingly straight forward operations: in BIOS assist mode, the thunderbolt controller is powered down by the firmware if no device is connected to it. Therefore when devices are forgotten boltd might not be able to directly write to the boot_acl sysfs attribute. In a dual boot scenario this is complicated by the fact that another operating system might also modify the bootacl and thus we might be out of sync. As the solution to this boltd will write individual changes to a journal file if the thunderbolt controller is powered down and re-apply these changes (as good as possible) the next time the controller is powered up.
Meanwhile I have released bolt 0.7 'The Known Unknowns', which contains fixes for a few bugs that slipped into 0.6.
This security mode is the default on most systems.
A option called usbonly (SL4) was added to the new TitanRidge Thunderbolt 3 controller (and support for it was added to kernel 4.17).

Phishing is the term given to attempts made by fraudsters to steal someone’s personal information. These attempts are usually made through emails and websites. Phishing scams look exactly like the genuine ones and are aimed at stealing information.
The best way to stay protected from phishing is to recognize what it looks like.
For example, take a phishing website.
Unlike genuine websites, phishing scams are designed to last for a short span of time. They are built with a sense of urgency. This is why the images are often of poor quality. The logo or the resolution of the website is of poor quality as well. The text is usually filled with grammatical and spelling mistakes.
The link or URL
The URL of safe websites starts with “https”. But the URL for phishing scams starts with “http”. There is no S. Here the S stands for the word secure. If you don’t see “https” written on the website URL, do not proceed with it.
Websites starting with numbers or IP addresses are also likely to be phishing websites. For example, :http://12.55.66.77/accountupdate/
Suppose you are on a website which is a copy of another. You have opened it and it is asking for your login details. You are not sure whether you should. Simply type in the wrong password and wait. If you get signed in, then you are on a phishing website. Do not reveal any more information and simply close the page.
Install anti-phishing software for maximum protection from phishing websites.

In this year's annual Pwn2Own battle of browser-hacking prowess, Google Chrome was the first to fall--and in the first five minutes of the competition.
French vulnerability research firm VUPEN Security stormed to an early lead in the annual Pwn2Own cracking contest, which is part of this week's CanSecWest information security conference in Vancouver. VUPEN received 32 points for the Chrome hack from officials at TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative, a bug-bounty reward program that sponsors the contest. By day's end Vupen was in the lead with 62 points, after also hacking Safari 5 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Firefox 3 on Windows XP. The contest continues through Friday.
According to a tweet from VUPEN, its Chrome exploit involved "code execution and sandbox escape (medium integrity process resulted)" against a copy of Chrome running on Windows 7. VUPEN has previously discovered zero-day vulnerabilities that exploited Chrome after bypassing its sandbox, although this is the first time in three years that Chrome has been exploited in the Pwn2Own contest, the lead-up to which typically sees browser makers furiously issuing patches.
[ Here's how you can address some of today's greatest security challenges to help keep your company's data safe. See 10 Lessons From RSA Security Conference. ]
"We wanted to show that even Chrome is not unbreakable," VUPEN CEO Chaouki Bekrar told Ars Technica.
Also Wednesday, veteran Chrome researcher Sergey Glazunov earned a quick $60,000 for an attack that bypassed the Chrome sandbox using only code native to Chrome and which allowed him to execute an arbitrary exploit, as part of Google's alternative "Pwnium" contest.
While Google has helped sponsor the Pwn2Own prize in recent years, this year the company announced that it was pulling out, due to a change in contest rules. "Originally, our plan was to sponsor as part of this year's Pwn2Own competition," said Chris Evans and Justin Schuh, part of the Google Chrome security team, in a blog post. "Unfortunately, we decided to withdraw our sponsorship when we discovered that contestants are permitted to enter Pwn2Own without having to reveal full exploits (or even all of the bugs used!) to vendors. Full exploits have been handed over in previous years, but it's an explicit non-requirement in this year's contest, and that's worrisome."
Instead, Google created Pwnium, promising to issue up to $1 million in prize money in exchange for full disclosure (and Google promising to share all flaws with relevant vendors). "We will issue multiple rewards per category, up to the $1 million limit, on a first-come-first served basis. There is no splitting of winnings or 'winner takes all,'" said Evans and Schuh.
"We require each set of exploit bugs to be reliable, fully functional end to end, disjoint, of critical impact, present in the latest versions, and genuinely zero-day--i.e., not known to us or previously shared with third parties. Contestant's exploits must be submitted to and judged by Google before being submitted anywhere else," they said.
Beyond the $60,000 prize--awarded for any attack that exploits only Chrome bugs--contestants can win $40,000 by combining a Chrome bug with another bug, and $20,000 for exploiting a bug in third-party code, such as browser plug-ins, Flash, or Windows. All Pwnium winners also get a Chromebook.

these fixes need to be installed on all servers which have SharePoint installed.
SQL server has its own separate security fixes which I do not cover in my blog.
in my Sharepoint 2013 Server environment, i noticed this “KB 4475527 – SharePoint Foundation 2013 (core component)” is installed.
As my farm is ” Sharepoint 2013 Server”, i wondering why this KB4475527 can be patched successfully in this version, i would expect product not found or something else. do you have any idea why?

Understand the new requirements for consent under GDPR, and how to do ensure your best practices comply.
The identity of the controller, the exact purposes of the data use, the processing activities involved and the right to withdraw consent should all be included to ensure the individual is fully informed.
Establish clear withdrawal mechanisms and regularly review procedures to ensure any changes to processes are responded top as required.
"It's crucial that it's sustainable," says Wood. "It has to be embedded in the organisation. There's got to be a range of people who actually can take responsibility for different parts of the process."
When consent is needed
Consent will likely be required if there is a need to give a real choice and control over data use, such as sending marketing material, installing mobile apps or tracking website cookies.
However, consent isn't always essential. If offering a choice is not possible, there may be other more appropriate procedures for data use in some circumstances.
Common examples of when consent would not be appropriate are if the data use is a precondition of using your service, it would be lawfully processed anyway or you are in a position of power over the individual consenting, it's legally required, a public task, or not doing it would endanger an individual's life.
Other lawful foundations for the data use could be legitimate interests, the processing being necessary for the performance of a contract, the performance of a public task it serving a vital interest, or processing it being of vital interest.
The requirements may appear daunting at first, but they also offer an opportunity for organisations to build customer trust and strengthen their reputations. The value of data will continue to rise, and it will become ever more important for companies to manage it accurately.

Somebody will always chime in with Zero-day attacks and other vulnerabilities, but those are hacking topics. An antivirus wont protect you from these types of problems to begin with. They aren’t really so much about malware. When it comes to Linux Malware, there simply is not very much of it. Linux for the desktop doesn’t have the big red target on it that Microsoft Windows does. Linux isn’t as widely used on personal computers as Windows is and the criminals using malware to their advantage prefer to cast a wide net by targeting users of Windows. Linux web servers may be targets of hackers that want to use vulnerabilities to spread malware to unwitting Windows users, but even then Windows is the target rather than Linux.
Linux, when used in a corporate or government environment, or used as a popular web server may be a target for hackers, but Windows is the target of Malware generally speaking. Linux servers are often used as a carrier, but they aren’t the target of the infection.
Geeks love to argue about why Linux isn’t targeted. Some say it is security and others cite scarcity. I tend to think there are valid pieces from both of those arguments. Whatever you choose to believe, the fact is that there isn’t enough malware out there to justify a home user installing an antivirus suite on a Linux distribution.
There are a few antivirus suites for Linux. Unless you run a file server or a web server don’t waste your time installing one. If you run such a server you would still be scanning for Windows malware anyway. If you are really paranoid or have a need to scan a windows partition or a wine directory from Linux Clam should suffice. Clam isn’t a real time scanner, it is an on demand scanner and it should be enough to ease your mind. A real time scanner is just a waste for a Linux desktop PC that doesn’t act as a file server.
The Security Argument
When speaking strictly of malware you are about as safe on Linux as you would be from Windows with a decent antivirus installed. For malware to infect a computer running Linux it needs write access. Most of the software on a properly configured Linux installation is run from an unprivileged user account, not from root or an account with open administrative access to system files and folders. Simply put, the user account can run software that is already installed, but malware would need root access to install and make changes in most cases.
Distributions like Ubuntu and derivatives install with an unknown encrypted root password and require the use of sudo to do anything that requires administrative access. The user is prompted to enter a password for each instance before a program can modify the system. Even if malware did manage to be installed it would have a heck of a time doing anything on a Linux computer. There is more to the argument like the construction of network protocols, a monolithic kernel, and most of the software being open source but I wont detail any of that here. Suffice it to say that Malware has an uphill battle on a Linux PC that just isn’t present on Windows to begin with.
Exercise Caution
Linux may not be a target in the way Windows is. It may very well be more secure by design, but it can still be compromised. Malware for Linux does exist. It may be rare by comparison but it is out there. You should remain aware of that fact. The best thing to do is practice “Intelligent Computing” just like you should when using a Windows environment. The main difference is that Windows requires the use of antivirus and Linux doesn’t (yet). A properly configured system will go a long way. Do not root unless you absolutely have to. Run from a normal privilege level account and use sudo instead. Never use a web browser with elevated privileges. Get software from trusted sources like your distributions repositories. Don’t download suspicious files, run software that isn’t patched, visit insecure web-sites, or use plug-ins like Java or Flash in your web browser. As you know if you have read my previous articles I don’t advocate the existence of Flash let alone the use of it as a plug-in. Keep in mind that if you don’t take basic steps to protect yourself you can be compromised using any operating system.

In a world where cybersecurity has taken center stage. Businesses still need access control. An access control system manages entry into buildings and specific areas within them. It increases security and allows you to control who is entering and exiting the building.
Like cybersecurity, access control systems can integrate different forms of authentication. These include physical credentials such as a card or key fob, or even a pin or password. Biometric systems can use retinal scanners or fingerprint readers. Access control can provide multiple layers of security that incorporate video cameras and automation systems.
Some indicators that your business needs to improve access control include:
Keys need to be duplicated any time an individual is given access to the building. Changing the locks every time is cost-prohibitive, but if a disgruntled employee can get in your building with the same key, there’s no telling what kind of damage they can do when inside.
You don’t know who is entering or exiting the premises. A modern access control system includes badges with embedded codes or wireless transmitters that enable wearers to access a building. Everyone in the building is therefore authorized to be there, so all employees will be protected.
At some point, it’s likely an employee has forgotten to lock a door. Even though it wasn’t intended, this can leave your company vulnerable to break-ins, putting valuable business assets at risk. Access control systems lessen the burden on your employees and reduce the risk of negligence.
Employees get locked out of the building. It doesn’t help productivity if someone can’t get inside and access their work area. Preventing such a scenario means employees won’t be stranded outside if they leave for a brief time. Nor do they have to wait for someone to open the door for them.
Your company could benefit from better employee tracking. If employee lateness or theft is a problem, an access control system can help managers determine who’s to blame. For example, if something was stolen over the weekend, you can check to see who was there at what time.
Workers can get into the server or supply rooms at will. You might not want your entire workforce to have access to all areas. Access control can keep certain locations off-limits, so this problem is avoided.
Building automation is limited, which makes heating/cooling systems and lighting equipment less efficient. Automation systems connected to access control systems can turn on lights or adjust temperatures based on where employees are, which is energy and cost-saving.
There’s little or no means to control who accesses the company database. A simple key card can allow or deny employees access to parts of the company network, even certain computers. Confidential information and sensitive data can, therefore, remain protected.
Traditionally one of the most useful security assets, video provides real-time coverage of incidents and emerging threats. There are really no limits here. For example, food processing plants and other manufacturing facilities will continue to use video for training, regulatory compliance, and to prevent food recalls and other issues. Video coverage of harsh environments, such as oil and gas facilities, helps reduce the need for personnel in hazardous areas.
With video data, information can be used for everything from real-time situational awareness to providing forensic coverage. Nonetheless, the increasing use of video in smart homes has given rise to privacy concerns. Security companies must have internal controls over who can access feeds. Organizations must adhere to privacy laws such as those that have been introduced by the EU, which govern the use of applications that involve the collection of video and other data on people and assets.
2. Cloud-Based Security
Developing cybersecurity protocols is critical, especially for servers, digital video recorders, IP cameras, smart sensors, and other network-connected devices connected to the cloud. This applies to organizations reliant on CRM systems such as Salesforce and home users who leverage Dropbox and other storage services.
The cloud-security platform industry is already predicted to top $460 million, as it can scale to various requirements, provide greater intelligence and protection, and reduce costs.

Nasdaq Stockholm and its clearing operation have been fined by the Swedish financial services regulator over security management failures.
This is part of a crack-down by the regulator, Finansinspektionen (FI), amid increasing cyber crime. Trading venues such as Nasdaq Stockholm are vital cogs in the financial systems and economies of countries and are therefore a target of cyber attacks.
By submitting your personal information, you agree that TechTarget and its partners may contact you regarding relevant content, products and special offers.
You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
The two organisations, which outsource information security to parent company Nasdaq Inc, were fined a total of SEK 55m (£4.7m) by FI for not adequately managing information security.
“The investigation looked at how the two organisations manage cyber risk given the fact that information security is outsourced,” said a statement from FI.
“Both companies have demonstrated deficiencies of such a degree that FI has made the assessment that there are grounds on which to intervene against them.”
In particular, due to security being outsourced, the regulator looked at the companies’ independence in security management.
“FI finds that neither Nasdaq Clearing nor Nasdaq Stockholm have acquired the information required to assess the quality of the delivered services and place sufficient requirements on the service provider,” said FI.
It also found that local conditions were not taken into consideration when decisions were made.
Nasdaq Clearing and Nasdaq Stockholm were not fined as a result of a particular breach, but because they lacked oversight of the information security service from Nasdaq Inc.
Businesses that outsource security cannot outsource the risks and will be fined by regulators even when the failings are the fault of the supplier. Controls imposed on suppliers are not always the same as those imposed internally by businesses and can expose a business to cyber risk.

From 31st of to 2nd of February the conference also featured a cybersecurity technology exhibition - Training & Exhibition - at AIT, at which Austrian and international companies in industry and research showcased their portfolios. This gave the international conference participants the chance to discover leading-edge high-tech solutions and services and provided ample opportunity for networking. Exhibitors included: A1 Security Services, Advenica, AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, Antares-NetlogiX, Cryptas, Cyberbit, CyberTrap, Desoma, Energypact Foundation, HuemerIT, IKARUS, iQSol, MASS, RadarServices, SBA Research, SecureGUARD, Sezame, Synack, Timewarp, Wiener Städtische, and X-Net.
The technology exhibition also featured special training sessions for the international guests. The AIT presented opportunities for advanced cyber security protection capabilities for critical infrastructures based on the AIT Cyber Range training and simulation platform. In addition, the IAEA presented concepts and backgrounds for policy making measures.
The technology exhibition was organised by the Cyber Security Cluster Austria for the first time, involving the joint efforts of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber, the Kuratorium Sicheres Österreich (KSÖ), the security software specialist IKARUS and the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology.
Reinhard Marak, CEO Defence & Security Industry, Austrian Federal Economic Chamber: "An early dialogue between the governmental demand side and the private entrepreneurs on the supply side is essential for the maintenance of this important strategic industry."
Alexander Janda, general secretary of KSÖ: "In the global competition for the best and most innovative answers to cyber security threats, Europe needs more technological sovereignty and competence. Know-how from Austria can make an important contribution to this. The AIT as a bridge between research and industry is a central actor."
Joe Pichlmayr, CEO of IKARUS Security Software, summarizes: "Smart cities are built by smart citizens - security is becoming more and more part of every critical success factor consideration. However, without sufficiently qualified security junior staff it will remain with just considerations. All the more urgent is the imperative not to leave the emergence of security excellence to chance, but to institutionalize it through targeted measures and programs!"
Helmut Leopold, Head of Center for Digital Safety & Security, AIT: "Austrian companies impressively presented their leading security technologies for the protection of critical infrastructures to an international audience. These technical solutions must now be placed in a context of international dialogue in order to effectively counter future global cyber threats."
This pioneering international multi-stakeholder conference and the integrated technology exhibition of the Cyber Security Cluster Austria have allowed Austria to strengthen its position as a high-tech cybersecurity location on the international scene.

Data security is one of the largest concerns impacting the world today.
The increasing sophistication of cyber attacks coupled with the overall lack of cybersecurity has led to the greatest data breaches and the loss of data records on a global scale.
However, not all data breaches are the same worldwide — various factors such as laws, population, and the size of data breaches influence the number of stolen records in each country.
Data Breaches Worldwide
The number of lost or stolen data records varies around the world. Data records refer to any piece of information that can put an individual or organization at risk, including email address, date of birth, account credentials, medical files, and banking details. Using data from the Breach Level Index, we visualized where these records are concentrated based on the locations of the organizations that reported them.
The map puts into perspective the discrepancies in data records on a global level.
Almost 64 percent of the total stolen data records occurred in the United States, whose large population, concentration of major companies, and rate of technological adoption make it the most massive “hotspot” on this map. Countries like China and India are also major centers of data breaches.
However, we also see densely populated countries like Brazil and larger countries like Italy represented as small regions on the map. This means that having a large population is only half of the picture, especially if we take a look at the ratio of the population to data breaches.
According to the Breach Level Index, over 9.7 billion data records have been lost or stolen globally since 2013 as a result of data breaches and cyber crime. Here a few of the most alarming data breach statistics:
Data Breaches by Country and Population
The below graphic shows the countries that have the highest ratio of data records stolen relative to their population. With over 6 billion stolen records, the total number of records in the U.S. exceeds the population by 19 times.
However, countries like South Korea and Canada have substantial data theft in relation to their smaller populations, suggesting that other factors influence stolen data records.
Identity Theft Worldwide
While data breaches refer to specific incidents that lead to data loss, identity theft is the moment one’s compromised data is used for malicious purposes. There have been a total of 10 million stolen identities stolen since 2013. Like the total number of data records, identity theft also contains geographic differences that aren’t caused by just population.
The United States leads other countries with almost 85 percent of identities stolen worldwide. While population size explains this amount, the United States’s stringent data breach reporting requirements suggests that the identity theft count in other countries may be underreported.
Despite their smaller populations, countries like South Korea and Canada are among the most hacked. According to Symantec, these countries were affected by “mega breaches” — breaches affecting more than 10 million identities. For example, the Dailymotion breach in France exposed 85 million identities, almost equal to the total data records stolen for the whole year. We also see other smaller countries like Sweden and the Netherlands sized much larger proportionately.
These geographic views reveal that dense populations and first-world power are not the sole sources of data breaches. Specific events and laws create gaps between countries, leading to major breaches that steal more data records than the populations that exist in some countries. With global data privacy regulations like GDPR and NDB taking place, it’ll be interesting to see how data breaches continue to impact the world.

Cymatic unveiled exciting new features to its client-side web application firewall, CymaticONE + VADR—the only WAF solution that combines client-side WAF defenses with a proprietary vulnerability, awareness, detection, and response (VADR) engine to deliver continuous in-session intelligence and cyber threat defense for users and applications.
Click. Click. Done. It’s that simple. CymaticONE + VADR installs at the client with a single line of JavaScript to combat modern-day cyber threats such as Magecart, cross-site scripting (XSS), code-injection attacks, session hijacking, account takeovers, credential stuffing, bot attacks, and poor user security hygiene.
“Analysts at a top research firm recently published that traditional WAF technology has failed to deliver on the promise to automatically enforce positive security models; we’re on a mission to reverse that trend and fulfill the promise,” said Cymatic Founder and President Paul Storm.
“Attacks like Magecart that steal credit card data from form fills during an online purchase are difficult to detect and thwart with existing security tools—which is worrisome when you consider that 98% of websites use forms to collect confidential information.
“In less than half an hour, we relieve that worry and allow our customers to better protect their web properties from even the most malicious and persistent attacks.”
Cymatic delivers capabilities unmatched by other web application security providers. Full end-to-end visibility identifies threats at page-load—before text and images render—to stop threats at the point of attack.
In addition to blocking application-based threats, intelligent remediation uses advanced AI- and ML-based controls to eliminate user-based risk such as poor security hygiene, device vulnerabilities, and browser/plug-in updates.
Additionally, detailed playbooks help organizations combat the OWASP Top 10, the CWE Top 25, and other growing attack scenarios with the easy configuration of active control settings.
“When you realize that the average website integrates third-party code from dozens of providers or code libraries, the need for instant, continuous script integrity and execution control becomes paramount,” said Jason Hollander, Cymatic founder and chief executive.
“Unlike signature-based solutions that rely on whitelisting and known threats, we deliver in-session streaming intelligence and defense to determine in real time if something or someone has compromised a session. Our client-side WAF + VADR is unique in its ability to stop untrusted scripts from listening and siphoning data from form fields on the fly.”

TinyEdit is tiny, and tautological statements are tautological statements. Weighing in at just under 600K, it's a perfect fit for a flash drive or a cheap netbook. Combined with its syntax-highlighting features and tabbed interface, it's the perfect text editing program to go on any sysadmin's digital, or actual, Swiss army knife.
Tabs and syntax highlighting give TinyEdit an edge on Notepad.
Its built-in syntax highlighting supports an impressive array of languages and markups, focusing strongly on those used for scripting, batch programming, and Web development-- including PHP, SQL, AWK, and CSS--among many others. However, this list is immutable; the user can't add a language or change the highlighting used, nor can a user tell TinyEdit which files on his system should use which highlighter. If you use a non-standard extension for a given file type (for example, using .txt for HTML files as a means of avoiding some types of auto-run exploits), there's no way to get TinyEdit to process it as if it were HTML. The exact file extensions it associates with file types are not explicitly listed, but testing on a variety of files shows it follows most expected conventions; you should rarely be surprised by what it does.
TinyEdit manages its small size by keeping its feature list small. To paraphrase Henry Ford, you can view your text in any font you like, as long as the font you like is 12 point Courier. TinyEdit provides basic load/save functionality, search and replace, unlimited undo and redo, word wrap, and not much else besides the ability to have multiple files open concurrently in a tabbed interface. It's absolutely not going to replace your favorite IDE (such as Eclipse) or full-featured programmer's editor (such as UltraEdit), but it's not trying to. It's trying to give you a better tool for quick-and-dirty text editing with limited system resources than Notepad does, and at that, it succeeds.
As such, I recommend TinyEdit for anyone who even occasionally needs precisely this: a small, syntax-aware text editor that fits in a single .exe and just runs from wherever it's located. It's freeware, so it is even easier on your financial resources than it is on your system resources.

The Internet of Things (IoT) aims to enhance the way we engage with devices around the home and we are now beginning to see the growth of this technology reach our driveways. Specifically, our automobiles. According to IHS Automotive, within five years there will be 152 million vehicles connected to the Internet via mobile apps that are now available with some car models. These apps can control your vehicle’s climate systems to providing Wi-Fi “hotspots” for mobile Internet access within the vehicle.
However, the growth of connected cars has raised some concern. Following the hacking trend directed at IoT devices in the household, the question is being asked: How safe is the public from hacked automobiles?
Imagine this scenario: you’re driving along a busy highway when without warning, your car’s brakes or steering wheel locks up. Or, you slow down as you approach a traffic light and your vehicle starts accelerating. Is this possible? If so, would this affect the car industry with determining culpability? Furthermore, what does this mean for public safety?
As more automobiles connect drivers and passengers with onboard systems, the more similar these systems are to mobile computers and this evolution could very well carry hacking over to our cars. Just recently, the Operations Chief for Apple Computers, Jeff Williams, alluded to Apple’s interest in the automotive market stating, “…the car is the ultimate mobile device…” This statement shows how attractive the automobile industry is to technology companies.
The more that vehicles are equipped with technology, however, the greater the increase for vulnerabilities. During a security conference in the summer of 2014, students from Zhejiang University successfully hacked into Tesla’s Model S and were able to open its doors and sunroof, switch on its headlights, and engage the vehicle’s horn – while the car was in motion. The Tesla brand is not unique in this regard. Numerous examples and exploits have been recently published on the hacking of vehicles.
In February 2015, U.S. Senator Edward Markey, from Massachusetts, released a report that discusses how vehicles may be vulnerable to hackers and how driver information is collected and protected. Some of his key findings state that nearly 100% of cars on today’s market include wireless technology that could pose an opportunity for hackers and that most automobile manufacturers weren’t aware or were unable to report on past hacking incidents. Senator Markey is so concerned that he and Senator Richard Blumenthal, from Connecticut, have proposed legislation that would direct the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to establish federal standards to secure automobiles from hackers.
This threat doesn’t stop at traditional autos. It was recently reported by Consumer Affairs that driverless cars may also become vulnerable. Predicted to roll out to the roads of America by 2020, self-driving cars will be outfitted with various sensors to navigate through different environments. If a hacker were to remotely access one of its sensors, such as LiDAR (light detection and radar), which helps avoid obstacles, the vehicle could be forced to accelerate into the object in its path instead of yielding or stopping.
Most of the software leveraged by car manufacturers is well known and consists of open systems, making the programming and networking standard. Therefore, not only do we see how low the barriers of protection are for hacking into an automobile, but the threat landscape is quite hospitable for attackers. Once you add motive, such as retaliation, this may provide a whole new category for destructive delivery devices.
If car manufacturers are going to heavily promote the online/connectivity capabilities of their vehicles and use those features as a means to drive purchase, there needs to be a heavier burden to lock down those products. The most exposed products that hackers will concentrate on will be the ones that are most likely to have online features activated by the user. Unfortunately, the average consumer is not adept at configuring security on the product beyond what is in place. In the end, closed and proprietary software systems need to be implemented by manufacturers of connected products.
The pressure to dramatically increase security in a product offering is, of course, not entirely new. As more products become connected, we see vendors delay product shipments in order to ensure they are offering the latest security solutions to expectant customers. We’re also in the age of technology companies who offer free, official OS security software – these solutions were previously offered only by third parties, to varying degrees of success and at a high cost. There’s no doubt that in the world of connected services and products, the first step of security comes from the vendor. In this case, it’s one more thing that car manufacturers must ensure they address.
For instance, it’s important that manufacturers ensure connections to cars, such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, don’t allow the user to reach control of powered operational functions. This can be accomplished at the most fundamental system layer, ensuring that control of powered functions is isolated from other systems. In cases where specific connections and exchange of data may be essential, manufacturers can work to implement systems where command input or data flow is only possible in one direction. Additionally, various proprietary measures can be put in place to ensure software cannot be rewritten or tampered with while in use.
As we enter a new era of connected transportation, there’s no question that a new threat arises and a new responsibility falls on manufacturers, vendors and legislation to help protect not only the consumer, but also the general public. The faster vehicle manufacturers begin to integrate cyber safety testing into the R&D process and the faster the government steps up to pass stricter car safety laws, the safer our future roads and public at large will be.

2015 is set to see a huge rise in the number of IT professionals taking action to address insider threat in their organizations. Currently 56% of IT professionals in the US have an insider threat program already in place, and 78% of those remaining, or 34% of the total, are planning to put one in place this year. A further 6% are planning an insider threat program within five years.
The findings are part of research revealed in IS Decisions’s new report based on a survey of 250 IT professionals in the US and 250 in the UK, the study found that combating insider threat is high on the agenda following a string of high-profile internal security breaches. An average of 37% across the two countries are planning an insider threat program this year.
The research also found that IT professionals are spending more on security in general, with the proportion of IT budgets spent on security increasing by a third in the last year (based on research conducted by IS Decisions in November 2013). In addition, 73% stated that they expect their expenditure to increase further. However, a disproportionately tiny 3.6% of overall IT budget spend currently goes toward internal security issues.
IT professionals in 2015 are planning a combination of tactics to tackle insider threat, with the majority including “technology, tools and data’ (66%), and “organization-wide security training and awareness’ (57%) in their plans.
However, IT professionals are also craving guidance on mitigating insider threat, with 91% believing that industry-wide collaboration is needed and 78% wanting clearer guidelines on tackling the issue.
Fran?§ois Amigorena, CEO of IS Decisions, said: “2014 has been dubbed by many as the “year of the breach’. We kept seeing big-name businesses hitting the news as a result of major internal security breaches week after week.
“That has carried over into 2015 to some extent with examples like the US health insurer Anthem. However, it looks like IT professionals are very much taking heed of what they’re seeing, meaning 2015 could be set to be the “year of tackling insider threat’.
“It’s also encouraging to see that IT professionals are not just thinking up hypothetical plans, they are putting their money where their mouths are in allocating budget. But there is a need there for more collaborative help and guidance, which is interesting given insider threat is an organizational issue. Clearly IT professionals are now open to working together to understand how best to address it.”

Addonics announced CipherUSB, a USB pass-through adapter that provides a way to encrypt data stored on flash drives, flash media, USB hard drives as well as Blu-ray, DVD or CD media.
The CipherUSB is the size of a typical flash drive. Just plug the USB drive, flash drive or optical drive to the device end of the CipherUSB, and then plug the CipherUSB into your computer’s USB port.
The drive will appear on your computer in seconds and is ready for use like an ordinary USB drive. There is no password to remember or software or drivers to install.
Data written to the USB drive or burnt onto Blu-ray, DVD or CD media is automatically encrypted on the fly with AES 256-bit hardware encryption. You can even mix encrypted/unencrypted burning sessions onto the same optical media. The encrypted drive is accessible on any computer with a USB port as long you have the matching CipherUSB.
The CipherUSB encrypts everything stored on a standard USB drive or flash media, including the MBR and partition tables. Access to the encrypted data is not possible without using the CipherUSB with the matching cipher code.
An encrypted hard drive or flash drive attached directly to a USB port will appear as a blank drive and the encrypted session in a Blu-ray, DVD or CD disc will become invisible.
Designed with a NIST certified crypto engine from Enova Technology, the CipherUSB leaves no trace of any cipher code in RAM or any part of the computer.
Each CipherUSB adapter comes with a software utility for programming personal key codes up to 32 characters long. This code is then secured with AES 256-bit encryption and stored inside the CipherUSB adapter.
The CipherUSB has an MSRP of $29.95 and is now shipping.

In cybersecurity it's what you "don't know that you don't know" that can get you. Most companies and their staff only have a cursory, fleeting awareness of security and how important it is. There isn't, unfortunately, a simple one, two or just three things you can do, purchase or implement and be secure. The list is long and overwhelming of everything that needs to be done right.
SEIRIM helps you understand the complete, big picture and enlighten you to the main points that should be concerning you and the processes that can put into place to account for every small detail.. We quickly highlight the possible and most dangerous weak points in your organization's infrastructure, systems and processes and what it will take to secure them.
Neutrality Guaranteed
We are platform agnostic and do not make commission or get discounts from recommending any vendor's particular solutions. We specialize in helping SME's and guarantee to recommend the most cost effective measures possible for your budget and needs. And only what you really need and no more.
Your risk profile, comprised of the nature of your business and the type and value of your assets, will determine the appropriate level of security services, hardware, systems and training that we recommend for you. Some companies by the nature of their work must go to the greatest lengths, others may be well protected with less.
Risk Assessments are all about getting specific.
We work together with you to identify all assets (data, networks and physical), their worth to the organization and the potential liabilities for their loss. We determine with you to what lengths and at what cost they should be protected and secured.
Regarding planning, we assist to determine and prioritize the application of our security recommendations. And with our Systems Hardening services we can implement them for you if you wish.
We help devise the administrative and technical policies your company should put in place to ensure all of your staff have clear and proper guidelines and standards to follow to remain secure.
- RMF (Risk Management Framework) - Very useful as it informs steps in an ongoing cycle of cybersecurity improvement and strengthening.
- CSF (Cybersecurity Framework) - Leaned on heavily by us as we like the process it lays out to Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond and Recover.
Our Vulnerability testing, scanning, probing and researching will go to great lengths to immediately and quickly uncover every weakness in your digital sphere you will want to be patching and resolving ASAP.
Using a very wide array of tools, methods, premium services and more we will provide your company a very large amount of information about what is currently good and what is very concerning and needs immediate attention.
The idea behind Penetration Testing is that instead of waiting for the day a hacker attacks your company (because it's only a matter of time) and hoping you're prepared enough, you have a trusted firm do it now to really put your systems to the full test.
This goes beyond the Vulnerability Assessment (which you absolutely want to have done first, and have implemented all the recommended fixes) to actually attack your systems and personnel to "find any way in possible". This uses force and methods beyond the more passive scanning to uncover weaknesses deeper in the system.
This is a labor intensive process beyond scanning, though we can apply the relative amount of manpower and limited scope to the testing as you require. We further will detail in advance the nature of attacks we will employ for your company's selection and approval.
We're not going to sugarcoat it, we're taken aback by the moral depravity of these malicious actors wrecking the productivity of companies large and small, including those handling critical infrastructure or medical services. Even if you're company isn't in an industry where life is immediately on the line, if all your business activity is suddenly frozen up it can certainly affect your livelihoods.
In the face of such drastic threats, we fight back with greater dedication, resources and creativity.
Comprehensive Strength
You want to be the company that doesn't have to pay the ransom, that can tell them to bugger off because your preparations were so thorough and resilient that you can weather the loss of all the data and capability that they could reach.
How can this be achieved? Well, we don't want to give our whole system and concepts away and create a weakness by having doing so, but we can summarize it by these terms: Aggressive Data backups and Security, and Resiliency of Capability. In these two veins, your data is backed up and safe and can be restored, and also importantly your company's ability to work is redundant and unstoppable.
Aggressive Data Backups and Security
We all learned a long time ago we have to back up our data, many of us the hard way. But "just backing it up" isn't good enough anymore. Malicious actors can reach those backups and lock them up, too. Even just accidents can occur, whether technical errors or natural disasters, your backups also must be protected and they themselves backed up.
We advise and follow industry best practices for conducting multiple backups, in multiple locations and ways, with encryption, redundancy, over write protection, versioning and more to help protect against malicious intent, accidents and errors. So, if the first level of backups is contaminated, the second or third (or more? for critical data yes) can still be called upon. If the latest version is affected, then historical versions are available, and so on.
The data generated by your company can reach mind-boggling amounts, and backing it all up can prove to be cost prohibitive. In your Risk Assessment process you will want to carefully identify the most important, valuable, and sensitive data in varying levels, to choose the extent of extreme safeguarding appropriate for each if you cannot budget enough to do it for all.
Resiliency of Capability
How would you do your job tomorrow with your workstation? What if the workstations of all your employees were to be wiped out, locked down or washed away in a flood? How would your machines operate? It's not just the data, but the ability to work that is a major issue.
We can help prepare for the worst with the build up of redundant workstations which are mirrors of your existing ones, whether they be Virtual Desktops ready in the cloud, actual physical ones in reserve or combinations of both.
Your company's threat profile and the nature of your work will determine the exact systems required and the extent and expense you will want to go to in their preparation.
And Beyond...
The #1 most important protection against ransomware is user training, actually, as the users are the weakest link in an organization. But when they remain trained, all your vulnerabilities are well managed and you are monitoring your security closely hunting down threats, the next step is to build up extreme resiliency to be strong enough to bounce back from any attack.
We do all of the above and more with creativity and dedication to help keep your company secure.
We assist your company to be prepared for data breaches, accidents, hacks, internal rogue actors and more. We will formulate documentation covering all steps and procedures to handle any situation that may occur. You will be prepared for the worst, and we can be there to help if needed.
This goes beyond IT solutions to also account for communicating with senior management, internal and external communications, human resources actions, informing your legal teams and law enforcement with detail if required.
It's important to recognize that not every security issue is equal, with not every incident requiring maximum resources in response and our planning will prepare you to act effectively to any occurrence.
Identification & Containment
We can help identify the nature and severity of abnormal activity in your IT infrastructure to help calculate the best response.
Quick action is most often required, and we can help you act quickly, augmenting or your leading your IT team to take the best steps to quell any damage.
We can also help preserve snapshots of forensic evidence to assist later investigations into who may be at fault, identify the attacker and understand what defenses failed.
We work on data restoration, system repair, and re-starting the networks, servers and infrastructure that may have been taken offline by the attack or for safety during the incident response.
We also include fixing of all the issues as possible that allowed for the attack in the first place.
We can help you document all aspects of incidents covering from their origin, the vulnerabilities exploited, the remedies employed and the solutions for preventing further occurrences.
The team will work hand in hand with your internal IT department to ensure monitoring services are installed, configured and functioning properly. We will spend the majority of time continuously reviewing logs and studying abnormal findings looking for indicators of compromise, misconfigurations and attack.
The team will work to make sure firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention systems and anti-malware are all functioning well on a daily, ongoing basis.
Vulnerability Management
Our team will be tracking and work to fix as much as is allowed within their remit all found vulnerabilities always focusing on the most critical. Our analysts are backed up by SEIRIM web and software application developers, and network security engineers who all specialize in systems hardening who can be called on to help resolve issues in case your IT team would like the support.
The team will run new vulnerability scans weekly or as desired so as to always be working with the most up to date perspective of your network's actual security posture.
Scanning, testing, probing, attacking - the Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing will most probably have uncovered a wide range of fixes, optimizations and security systems and implementations to be made.
SEIRIM can help your firm apply them properly and ensure the configurations are correct. We can work closely with or for your own IT teams to support the evolution of creating better and better defenses.
We are Developers and Programmers
Our cybersecurity team is comprised of not only cybersecurity practitioners such as penetration testers, vulnerability scanners and consultants, but also by actual software and web application developers who have worked building production applications for decades each and now apply their considerable skills to fortifying your IT assets with a cybersecurity mindset and focus.
Whether its websites, networks, web applications, software or devices we have the years of experience, training and skills to help you make them steadfastly more secure.

Leafly reached Novak at his home in Lake Forest Park, Wash. He was happy to talk about it. To answer the main question: He’s not out to steal anyone’s identity. He was, in fact, surprised the information landed in his lap.
“I had no idea this was going to include the entire application process,” he said. “That’s not what I was going for. I just wanted email exchanges because I’d heard people were getting screwed in the process. I just wanted to see if there were any irregularities, and then Whoa what is this? Holy crap.”
Novak is what government officials call a “super-requester,” a government watchdog who files massive and frequent public records requests. The recent flap over the WSLCB’s erroneous release of applicant info came out of a sprawling request Novak made for all information on collective gardens. In early May, the WSLCB sent Novak a collection of records that included a “redact” folder, which contained sensitive tax and financial information about some license applicants. WSLCB official Melissa Norton later to wrote Novak that “It is our belief that in error the ‘redact’ folder was included” in the release. On June 8, the WSLCB sent out a letter to a number of license applicants informing them of “a data security incident” and that “your personal information may have been potentially exposed to others.” For those in the industry whose personal data was leaked, it was an unsettling letter to receive. A copy of one such letter was obtained by KOMO 4 News: Novak sees himself as more a public servant than a gadfly.
“The goal [of 420Leaks] is running an open government, with accountability,” he told Leafly. “We’re trying to get a spotlight on the fact that medical patients are getting knocked out in this whole process,” he added, referring to Washington state’s efforts to bring the medical marijuana system under the umbrella of the legal recreational cannabis industry. The rift between the state’s medical marijuana community and its recreational cannabis system is a wide one, and 420Leaks is emblematic of the MMJ community’s distrust of the state regulators in charge of that system.
Novak and his main collaborator on the site, John Worthington, began simply as medical marijuana patients growing their own cannabis. However, both were the subject of multiagency raids — Worthington in 2007 and Novak in 2010 — which sparked their ire. The experience, Novak said, transformed him from a medical marijuana activist to a transparency hawk.
“The reason I’m still big on this is that I was raided back in 2010 by a big task force team in Okanogan County under the false assumption that I was a big criminal kingpin,” said Novak. It also soured him on the state’s fledgling legal cannabis industry, ushered in under Initiative 502. he said, as he felt the persecution of patients and adult-use legalization went hand in hand.
“I realized very quickly that this thing is corrupt, and there’s no freaking way in hell I’m going to get involved with it because of everything I saw and the corruption around my raid,” he said. “It’s taxes and it’s controlling the resource. It’s capitalism. It’s everything that’s wrong with America right now. It’s happening in the cannabis world now, and it’s ruthless.”
Novak doesn’t see himself as an outsider. And he’s not exactly an anticapitalist crusader. When it comes down to it, he said, he’s just a guy who wants to grow his own, which isn’t allowed under I-502.
“I’m not anti-business,” he said. “I’m not even really anti-502. 502 was never supposed to do this. Maybe [it was supposed to stop] the [medical marijuana] storefronts, but not the home grows.”
While his research team for the site includes more super-requesters, such Arthur West, notorious for achieving multiple six-figure settlements with Washington state’s government agencies over public records requests and open meetings violation complaints, Novak said he doesn’t see himself as a career transparency activist.
“I just want to grow my plants and share with my friends and family,” he said. “I’m pretty much out of this whole thing as soon as they allow all adults to grow some plants themselves. I’m done. I want to go back to selling petunias and fruit trees.”

Graham Cluley, Senior Technology Consultant at Sophos, reveals the identities of the people who have written some of the most troublesome viruses in history, and the profile of the typical virus author. He describes the different levels of damage that viruses can cause, including the impact on corporate confidentiality and credibility.
In the early days, virus writers communicated with each other via Bulletin Board Systems, then progressed to electronic newsletters where virus writers formed gangs. They then set up websites that distributed thousands of viruses. Today over 75,000 computer viruses are in existence, and up to 1000 new viruses are released each month.
The webinar will be held on 5 November 2002 at 1:00 PM EST, and you can register on webex.com.

A recent NTT Security’s report showed that one third of business decision makers globally said that they would prefer to pay malware ransoms to hackers than to invest more money over the long term in cyber security. Why would they do that?
By taking this path, business leaders are showing an unprecedented confidence that their businesses will not be impacted by data breaches and other cyber threats. They might not see cyber risks as one of the most important ones for their firms’ survival. Unfortunately, this approach guarantees trouble once a cyber attack comes their way; no preparation means the adoption of a short-term, reactive approach to security that will instead drive up costs.
Part of the problem is certainly awareness; business leaders have not been informed of proactive steps they can direct their IT organization (and beyond) to take, and the impact of their non action in the bottom line (in case of for profit enterprises). These are areas I will speak about at my upcoming cybersecurity seminars with Terrapinn Training, Marcep and GLDNAcademy.

Security experts at MicroWorld Technologies inform that “Trojan. Win32.Inject.t’ or “W32/Inject-H’ is a new peer-to peer worm with IRC backdoor Trojan capacities. “Inject.t’ can run in the background of a computer by working as a Server that allows a hacker to control the system via IRC channels.
Exploiting Windows vulnerabilities, this worm will proliferate in networks. First it copies itself into a shared folder on the local machine. From there, the P2P network takes over to contact other computers in the network and helps them download and execute the infected file.
MicroWorld experts observe that it even mimics network protocol of specific file-sharing networks by responding to file requests and distributes the infected component across the network.
“This one can get quiet nasty if an attacker is eying the business critical information of an enterprise. Through a single point, this Trojan spreads wide and fast to other computers to expose the total network to a hacker. Sitting in remote place, the hacker has your enterprise at his finger tips,” explains Govind Rammurthy, CEO, MicroWorld Technologies.

Derek Erwin Apple has released a software update for iTunes to version 11 that comes with both new and enhanced features worth falling head over heels for. The new iTunes includes “a dramatically simplified player, a completely redesigned Store, and iCloud features you’ll love,” says the company. Apple’s 197.8 MB update to iTunes 11 includes very noticeable design changes; however, information on the security content of this update has yet to be released.
TechCrunch offers a really good overview of the major feature changes to iTunes. They have a lot to say about it, noting that iTunes 11 is “one of the biggest overhauls of the media management service yet.” Apple’s introduction to the new iTunes cites the following changes were made:
Completely Redesigned. iTunes makes it more fun to explore and enjoy your music, movies, and TV shows. You’ll love the beautiful edge-to-edge design, custom designs for each album, movie, or TV show in your library, and getting personal recommendations any time you click In the Store.
A New Store. The iTunes Store has been completely redesigned and now features a clean look that makes it simpler than ever to see what’s hot and discover new favorites.
Play purchases from iCloud. Your music, movie, and TV show purchases in iCloud now appear inside your library. Just sign-in with your Apple ID to see them. Double-click to play them directly from iCloud or download a copy you can sync to a device or play while offline.
Up Next. It’s now simple to see which songs are playing next, all from a single place. Just click the Up Next icon in the center display and they’ll instantly appear. You can even reorder, add, or skip songs whenever you like.
New MiniPlayer. You can now do a whole lot more with a lot less space. In addition to showing what’s playing, MiniPlayer now includes album art, adds Up Next, and makes it easy to search for something new to play—all from a smaller and more elegant design.
Improved search. It’s never been easier to find what you’re looking for in iTunes. Just type in the search field and you’ll instantly see results from across your entire library. Select any result and iTunes takes you right to it.
Playback syncing. iCloud now remembers your place in a movie or TV show for you. Whenever you play the same movie or episode from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it will continue right where you left off.
From the sound of Apple’s horn, everything about the software was improved. Right? Well, with any big Apple update there always follows a big response from Apple fans and even naysayers. So I thought it would be fun to share some perspective on how others, at least initially, feel about the new iTunes. Twitter users never fail to chime in with amusing thoughts, unusual opinions, and sometimes even helpful feedback:
First impression of iTunes 11: far less radical changes than I thought (and was hoping for). Mostly a new theme on top of the old app.
For iTunes 11 users in the same boat as Twitter user @jcafarley, here’s a quick tip: if you want your purchases from the iTunes store to be downloaded automatically to your other computers or devices—not just the one you use to make purchases—you’ll need to adjust some settings on your Mac and iOS devices. You must turn on iTunes in the Cloud for it to work properly. This feature can be turned on from iTunes Preferences > click Store, and select the items you want automatically downloaded. On your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, tap Settings > tap iTunes & App Stores, and then turn on the items you want. Now all of your purchases will automatically be downloaded to all of your devices and computers!
The new iTunes is available at the Mac App Store, or when you’re ready to download and install it you can choose Apple menu > Software Update. You can also head over to Apple and download iTunes 11 for Mac and PC.

Pros: New, uncluttered iOS-style apps replacing iTunes. Improved security. New app for finding lost devices even if they're sleeping. Ability to use iPad as a second screen. Lets developers port iOS apps to the Mac.
Cons: Won't run 32-bit apps. Like all beta versions, expect glitches and bugs.
Bottom Line: macOS Catalina, now in public beta, will be a major update, making it easy for iOS developers to port their apps to the Mac, and for iPad owners to use their tablets as a second screen. It won't support 32-bit apps, though.
Pros: Smooth, effortless upgrade from OS X El Capitan. Improved performance over predecessor. Smaller footprint. Siri voice-enabled assistant now integrated. Tabbed interface available everywhere. Enhanced security features.
Cons: No touch or pen input capability. Many new features require premium iCloud subscription. Siri is harder to wake than Cortana. Siri and Spotlight return different results.
Bottom Line: macOS Sierra and Windows 10 are both mature, powerful, easy-to-use operating systems, but macOS holds the edge when it comes to coherence, convenience, and being pleasurable to use.
Pros: OS X notifications. Scans for Windows malware. Safe Web browsing. Antivirus scans.
Cons: No firewall. No parental control tools.
Bottom Line: Bitdefender brings, antivirus scans, and safe Web browsing tools to the Mac in an app that's tightly integrated with OS X.
Pros: Strong detection scores from third-party labs. Parental controls. Firewall tools. URL advisor. Enhanced protection for financial transactions.
Cons: Poor performance in our hands-on Web protection test. Uneven protection against Windows threats.
Bottom Line: Kaspersky Internet Security for Mac has strong third-party lab test scores and all the tools you need to keep your Apple computer safe.
Pros: Very good scores from two testing labs. Bottom Line: F-Secure Safe for Mac gets high marks from two independent antivirus testing labs. It offers simple multi-device parental control, but it can't match the rich feature collections of the best Mac antivirus tools.
Pros: Certified by one independent antivirus lab. Webcam protection. Very good phishing protection. Ransomware protection. Remote management. Inexpensive.
Cons: Parental content filter foiled by secure anonymizing proxy. Lacks exploit protection, malware deep-clean, download reputation check, keylogger protection, and other advanced features found in the Windows edition.
Bottom Line: Sophos Home Premium offers Mac antivirus protection at a very reasonable price, but the absence of many advanced features found in the Windows edition is disappointing.
Pros: Fast full scan. Cons: Poor score in antiphishing test. Repeatable crash in testing.
Bottom Line: While it may not be the best protection against phishing websites, Webroot SecureAnywhere Antivirus (for Mac) is by far the fastest Mac antivirus scanner we've seen.
Pros: Expensive.
Bottom Line: Newcomer Airo Antivirus for Mac earns top scores from one testing lab and has a refreshing Mac-centric interface, but some of its components aren't yet ready.
PCs get infested by malware; Macs don't. Yeah, right. That old belief was never true, though for quite some time the likelihood of an attack was lower for Mac users. However, the latest report from Malwarebytes indicates that at present, Macs are more vulnerable than PCs, not less. According to the report, malware detections per macOS endpoint more than doubled last year, bringing the Mac detection rate to almost twice the rate for Windows PCs. If you don't have antivirus on your Macs, you're living in the past. Check our reviews now and pick the Mac antivirus that suits your needs best—don't wait!
As with Windows antivirus tools, the most common price is just under $40 per year for a single license. ProtectWorks is unusual in that a single $29.95 payment lets you protect all the Macs in your household, with no subscription needed. McAfee goes beyond that, with a $59.99 per year subscription that protects all your Macs, PCs, Android, and iOS devices. With Sophos Home Premium, $60 per year lets you install and remotely manage protection on 10 Macs or PCs. At the high end, you pay $99.99 per year for a three-license subscription to Intego Mac Internet Security X9 or Airo Antivirus for Mac.
When macOS Mojave came out, it advanced security in various ways, including tracker blocking in Safari, a password manager, and a tighter rein on AppleScript. macOS Catalina piled on more security features, with enhanced control over data-access permissions, weak password warnings, a strengthened anti-malware gatekeeper, and more. Still, nothing we've seen suggests that upgrading to Catalina will obviate the need for an antivirus utility.
Seven commercial macOS antivirus products that earned 3.5 stars or better appears in the chart at top. Another eight managed a decent three-star rating, but there isn't room for all of those. I chose to favor three products that originated on the Mac platform, Airo Antivirus for Mac, ClamXAV, and Intego Mac Internet Security. ProtectWorks is also Mac-focused, but there just wasn't room.
Avast Security Pro (for Mac), ESET Cyber Security (for Mac), Malwarebytes for Mac Premium, and Vipre Advanced Security (for Mac) also earned three stars. These four didn't make it into the chart. If you're using a Windows security product from one of these companies, it might make sense to do the same on your Macs.
Malware Protection Lab Certifications
When you go to select a new washer, refrigerator, or other appliance, chances are good you research it first. User reviews can be helpful, as long as you discard the very best and very worst of them. But actual test results published by an independent lab give you more reliable information. Two large labs include macOS antivirus products in their testing, but the slate of products for testing is variable. When we first rounded up Mac antivirus products, all those in the chart below had at least one certification, but at present, many of them don't appear in either lab's test results.
The researchers at AV-Test Institute evaluate Mac antivirus products on three criteria: protection, performance, and usability. A product can earn up to six points for each. Protection against malware protection is essential, of course, as is a low impact on performance. A high usability score reflects a small number of false positives, legitimate programs and websites identified as dangerous. Several products achieved a perfect 18 points, all six points for all three criteria.
In the macOS malware test by AV-Comparatives, most charted products scored 100 percent. This lab, too, included a test using malware aimed at Windows. Yes, these samples can't affect a computer running macOS, but they could conceivably escape to Windows machines on the network. Scores in the Windows malware test ranged from zero to 100 percent, which is quite a span.
Results in macOS-specific tests have a much smaller point spread than in tests of Windows antivirus utilities. It's good that many products in the chart received at least one certification for Mac protection, and even better that some received two certifications.
Hands-On Phishing Protection Testing
When we test malware protection on Windows, we use live malware inside an isolated virtual machine. We've coded a number of analysis tools over the years to help with this testing. Little of that testing regimen carries over to the Mac.
Phishing, however, isn't platform-specific, and neither is our antiphishing test. Phishing websites imitate secure sites, everything from banks and finance sites to gaming and dating sites. If you enter your credentials at the fake login page, you've given the phisher access to your account. And it doesn't matter if you are browsing on a PC, a Mac, or an internet-aware sewing machine.
Almost all the products in the chart below include protection against malicious and fraudulent sites. With ClamXAV and Intego, this just isn't an included feature. Malwarebytes and ProtectWorks also lack an antiphishing component.
The wily malefactors who create phishing sites are in the business of deception, and they constantly change and update their techniques, hoping to evade detection. If one fraudulent site gets blacklisted or shut down by the authorities, they simply pop up with a new one. That being the case, we try to use the very newest phishing URLs for testing, scraping them from phishing-focused websites.
We launch each URL simultaneously in four browsers. One is Safari or Chrome on the Mac, protected by the Mac antivirus that's under test. The other three use the protection built into Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. Discarding any that don't fit the phishing profile, and any that don't load correctly in all four browsers, we report the product's detection rate as well as the difference between its detection rate and that of the other three test systems.
Most of the products in this roundup beat the combined average of the three browsers. Kaspersky and Trend Micro top the list with 100 percent detection, while Bitdefender's score of 99 percent comes close behind. All three of these winners scored precisely the same when tested under Windows.
Ransomware Protection
The scourge of ransomware is on the rise. While ransomware attacks are more common on Windows devices, Macs have suffered as well. Of course, any antivirus utility should handle ransomware just as it handles spyware, Trojans, viruses, and other malware types. But since the consequences of missing a ransomware attack are so great, some security products add components with the sole purpose of preventing ransomware attacks.
We've observed a wide variety of ransomware protection techniques on Windows. These include blocking unauthorized access to user documents, detecting ransomware based on its activity, and recovering encrypted files from backup. Of the products listed here, Bitdefender and Trend Micro offer a ransomware component that blocks unauthorized modification of protected documents.
As with Bitdefender's Windows edition, the Safe Files feature prevents all unauthorized access to your documents. On a Mac, it also protects your Time Machine backups. Trend Micro offers multiple layers of Windows ransomware protection. Folder Shield, which, like Safe Files, prevents unauthorized document access, is the only layer that made its way to the macOS edition.
Sophos Home Premium includes the same CryptoGuard behavior-based ransomware protection found in its Windows equivalent. Our Windows test sytsems are virtual machines, so we feel free to release real-world ransomware for testing. We just roll back the virtual machine to a clean snapshot after testing. We don't have the option to do that on the physical Mac testbed, so we just have to figure that since it worked on Windows, it probably works on macOS.
Spyware Protection
Any kind of malware problem is unpleasant, but spyware may be the most unnerving. Imagine some creeper secretly peeking at you through your Mac's webcam! Other types of spying include logging keystrokes to capture your passwords, sending Trojans to steal your personal data, and watching your online activities to build a profile. As with ransomware protection, we've observed more features specifically devoted to spyware protection on Windows-based security products than on the Mac, but a few products in this collection do pay special attention to spyware.
Under Windows, Kaspersky's Safe Money feature opens sensitive sites in a secure browser that's hardened against outside interference. The Safe Money feature on the Mac doesn't do that, but it does check URLs to make sure you're on a legitimate secure site. Kaspersky offers an onscreen keyboard, so you can enter passwords with no chance of capture by a keylogger. Its webcam protection isn't as configurable as it is on Windows, but you can use it to disable your Mac's webcam whenever you're not using it. It even includes the ability to block advertisers and others from tracking your online activities. If spyware is your bugaboo, you'll like Kaspersky.
Sophos Home Premium offers protection for the webcam and microphone that's more substantial than Kaspersky's. You get a notification any time an untrusted program attempts to access either; you can allow access or stop the program. There's also an option to whitelist a program, so you don't get a popup every time you use your off-brand video chat tool.
Bonus Features
Many antivirus tools on Windows pack in a ton of bonus features, packing in everything from tune-up utilities to VPNs. That behavior seems less common on the macOS side, though Norton now includes a VPN with no bandwidth limits. Even so, some vendors don't have a standalone Mac antivirus, opting instead to offer a full security suite as the baseline level of protection, and a few others include suite-like bonus features in the basic antivirus.
A typical personal firewall component blocks attacks coming in from the internet and also manages network permissions for programs installed on your Mac. Intego, McAfee, and Norton each include a firewall component, while Kaspersky's Network Protection comes close.
Parental control is another common suite component. With Sophos (free or premium) and Trend Micro Antivirus for Mac, a content filter can block access to websites matching unwanted categories. Kaspersky goes beyond that, with content filtering, screen time limits, and control over apps used. An additional $14.99 per year unlocks all the features of the powerful Kaspersky Safe Kids.
Protect Your Mac
Manyof the products covered in this roundup earned certification from at least one independent testing lab; some managed two certifications. There really are no bad choices here, as far as basic antivirus protection goes. Even so, a few products stood out. Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac not only achieved certification from both labs, it earned the maximum score in every test, and took the top antiphishing score. Kaspersky Internet Security for Mac also earned high scores. It offers a full suite of Mac security tools, at the same price competitors charge for basic antivirus protection. Norton 360 Deluxe (for Mac) is also a suite, and its features include a no-limits VPN. These three are our Editors' Choice winners for Mac antivirus protection.
However, these aren't the only choices. The blurbs below include every commercial Mac antivirus that received three stars or more. Look over the reviews, pick the product that suits you best, and get your Mac protected. Once you've done that, you should also consider installing a Mac VPN. While an antivirus protects you, your devices, and your data locally, a VPN extends that protection to your online activities, protecting both your security and your privacy.
Editors' Note: We are aware of the allegations of Kaspersky's inappropriate ties to the Russian government. Until we see some actual proof of these allegations, we will treat them as unproven, and continue to recommend Kaspersky's security products as long as their performance continues to merit our endorsement.

\$\begingroup\$ What is the code supposed to be doing? You're apparently trying to get all combinations of 4-bit binary numbers... but what are you trying to get from that? \$\endgroup\$ – Jeff Mercado Nov 20 '12 at 7:52 \$\begingroup\$ @JeffMercado the problem was homework. There was an encryption algorithm given and some sample cyphertext - this code does an exhaustive search for keys that fit with the ciphertext, and encrypts a message using the same algorithm for each valid key. \$\endgroup\$ – jsj Nov 20 '12 at 10:31 \$\begingroup\$ I know this is not really what you were looking for, but you could leave the loops and optimize their runtime using cython or numba. \$\endgroup\$ – yoavram Nov 27 '12 at 14:00
But really it looks to me as though you don't want to be working with bit strings at all. You just want to be working with integers.
So instead of get_all, just write range(16) and instead of bytexor, write ^. Your entire program can be written like this:
// https://stackoverflow.com/a/4421438/1273830
System.out.println(String.format("%"+len+"s", Integer.toBinaryString(i)).replace(', '0');
