Titans24 co-founder and CEO Mateusz Romanów. Image: Titans24
Our Start-up of the Week is Titans24, a security-as-a-service platform designed to protect SME enterprise data.
Based in Wrocław, Poland, Titans24 is a cybersecurity start-up co-founded by CEO Mateusz Romanów. Prior to starting the infosec business, Romanów was head of business at a creative agency called 25wat.
With a portfolio of 240 clients in six countries, Romanów quickly became aware of the need for accessible cybersecurity for those clients and other businesses that use the internet to communicate with existing and potential customers.
“In 10 years of leading my creative agency, I’ve seen enough neglect in the digital security sphere among the clients we served in Poland and abroad,” he told Siliconrepublic.com.
“I spoke to CEOs and many admitted that they [would] fortify their cybersecurity if somebody could do that for them at a good price. It just wasn’t an immediate priority for them.”
As well as his creative and cybersecurity ventures, Romanów also co-founded Arbuzz, which is one of Poland’s first augmented reality applications.
When asked to described Titans24 in a nutshell, Romanów said that, first and foremost, the start-up was founded to protect businesses from cyberattacks.
“Titans24 is a security-as-a-service platform for SMEs that host web services, data and documents. [We protect these files] in containers with 11 active protection layers. Think of it as a digital bank vault.”
For now, the start-up is targeting European businesses. “Our niche in the $4.5bn e-commerce market is where SMEs require enterprise-level data protection that costs less than single cloud solutions from AWS, Azure or IBM Security,” Romanów continued.
“Titans24 was designed for those responsible for maintaining web services and web applications – non-technical business owners and also system admins, web developers and freelancers. There are at least 23m companies in the European Union that we can connect with.”
However, he added that it can be challenging to be present in two dimensions at once – the user dimension and the technological dimension. “Our users, who are often non-technical company owners, would rather stay away from the technological world.
“My everyday challenge is to bring the human-centred design aspect into the technology we produce, so that the platform is seen as adaptable regardless of the confusion that the subject of cybersecurity might bring to some.”
The technology behind Titans24
Romanów believes that “everyone has digital resources that must be secured”, and that Titans24 will be able to stand out from other cybersecurity start-ups.
“The shared responsibility model employed by almost every large cloud and hosting service provider is deeply flawed. Providers only secure their parts of the software stack and the customer is obliged to make sure that their applications are used in a secure and compliant manner.
“Our platform was designed to secure assets in a fail-safe environment with all-year-round technology updates that do the heavy lifting. Each project is placed in a container, which is protected by 11 active security layers. These include swarm intelligence, multi-level firewall and risk mitigation, among others.”
Each data container is stored on three different servers, which are connected to each other in real time. To keep costs down, these servers are rented.
“The underlying infrastructure consists of hardware located in EU countries within server hubs from Ataman, OVH and GCE,” Romanów explained. “Titans24 tech stack includes Cloudflare, GitHub, Drone, CoreOS, Docker, Swarm, Elasticsearch and Prometheus.”
Plans for the future
The company has a number of ongoing commercial projects at the moment and plans to finalise another version of its client panel, which will allow the start-up to connect with a larger audience. “Our next milestone is to service more than 200 projects,” Romanów said.
Titans24 is currently on the lookout for investment, with the goal of raising $5m to $6m in the next three years. “The focus here is also on acquiring a business mentor with a network of tech contacts. We’d use the funding to expand the team, launch an internal R&D lab, run further penetration tests and to crank up marketing,” Romanów added.
“In two to three years from funding, we’d like to scale our platform to cover smart devices for intelligent houses, IoT hardware, drones, AR and VR devices and autonomous vehicle software.”
Romanów joked: “Further on, we aim to cover all the gimmicks from Blade Runner – software for artificial limbs and biomechanical components, autonomous assembly lines and chip implants.”

It’s true-ALL Oklahomans value their privacy! Young, old, right, left and even some that cannot be so easily defined, turned out to stand up for their right to be let alone. We busted paradigms, expanded our networks, made new connections and put Big Brother in Oklahoma on notice. And we have only just begun to fight.
If you missed the Intenational Day of Privacy event at the state capitol today but want to help, here is our ation items on important privacy protecting legislation active in Oklahoma. In a nutshell, these bills cover drones, phones and RFID.
HB1559 (the last item on the list) is actually the most time sensitive of the three bills. Please send your emails out this weekend and follow op with calls on Moday morning if you can.
1.House Bill 1556-the Oklahoma Unmanned Aerial Surveillance Act
HB 1556 by Rep. Paul Wesselhoft requires law officers, absent an emergency, to obtain a warrant first before using drones for surveillance purposes and prohibits the state from outfitting drones with weapons.
The FAA estimates as many as 30,000 drones could be flying in US skies by 2020 and Oklahoma is poised to become a state leader in the drone industry. In fact, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security launched one of its first test flights for civil use of drones over the skies of Oklahoma in December 2012.
Drones are capable highly advanced surveillance. Law enforcement drones can carry various types of equipment including live-feed video cameras, facial recognition, automatic license plate readers, infrared cameras and more. Drone manufacturers admit some are designed to carry “less lethal” weapons such as Tasers or rubber bullets and law enforcement has openly expressed interest in utilizing these weapons.
HB1556 will be heard in the House Aerospace and Energy Committee.(contact info below) Call and tell them that you want them to support HB 1556 for these reasons:
Drones should be deployed by law enforcement only with a warrant, in an emergency, or when there are specific and articulable grounds to believe that the drone will collect evidence relating to a specific criminal act.
Images should be retained only when there is reasonable suspicion that they contain evidence of a crime or are relevant to an ongoing investigation or trial.
Usage policy on domestic drones should be decided by the public’s representatives, not by police departments, and the policies should be clear, written, and open to the public.
Use of domestic drones should be subject to open audits and proper oversight to prevent misuse.
Domestic drones should not be equipped with lethal or non-lethal weapons.
Aerial, warrantless surveillance is a violation of our Fourth Amendment rights and our right to privacy!
2.House Bill 1557 – the Geolocation Information Protection Act
HB 1557 by Rep. Paul Wesselhoft requires a warrant for law enforcement access to cellphone data except in certain emergency situations.
All cell phones register their location with cell phone networks several times a minute, and this function cannot be turned off while the phone is getting a wireless signal. Our travels reveal many intimate details about our lives. Do you drink or go to bars, how about church? Are you faithful to your spouse? What medical treatment are you receiving? Are you politically active and if so, what political groups do you associate with?
HB1557 has been sent to the House Aerospace and Energy Committee but has not been scheduled to be heard yet. Please call or email the Chairman of this committee and ask that HB1557 be scheduled. Then contact the members of this committee and ask them to please support HB1557. Tell them that:
· The government should have to obtain a warrant based upon probable cause before tracking cell phones.
The state of Oklahoma already prohibits the implantation of RFID microchips in human beings.
RFID on our driver’s license and state ID cards would be the next best thing to actually implanting them in our bodies because we carry our ID documents with us everywhere we go.
RFID readers are becoming more and more prevalent and will eventually enable tracking us wherever we go revealing our travels, habits and associations.
Tagging and tracking of human beings is inappropriate and violates our right to privacy.

Whether an obligatory return to the classroom will make a difference in countering those threats is at the heart of a debate spurred by a proposal to license cybersecurity professionals that work for or contract with the government. The mandate is part of an ambitious cybersecurity measure the Senate initiated, and it would affect tens of thousands of information technology workers.
Proponents see the measure as money well spent to improve information security through a more professional, better-trained cybersecurity workforce. But opponents believe mandatory licensing will tie up the industry in red tape and hinder its ability to keep training up-to-date with rapidly changing technology.
The measure, sponsored by Sens. John “Jay” Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), would direct the Commerce Department to develop or coordinate and integrate a national licensing, certification and periodic recertification program for cybersecurity professionals.
It would then become unlawful for a person lacking the proper license and certification to provide cybersecurity services to an agency or for an information system or network designated as critical infrastructure.
Opinions about the proposal’s potential impact vary, but the different camps agree on one point: There are still many unanswered questions. For example, people wonder how “cybersecurity services” would be defined. They also speculate on which skills would need certification or licensing and whether using company-based certifications would be the right approach.
There are also questions about enforcement, legal liability, the value of certification versus licensing, and how federal requirements would impact states' rights and their traditional role in licensing various professions.
The Senate measure would apply to all federal IT systems and any others the president deems critical infrastructure, which could include privately owned assets such as the electric grid.
It wouldn’t be the federal government’s first attempt at demanding proof of training for cybersecurity professionals. The Defense Department has had a mandatory certification — but not licensing — requirement for its information assurance workforce since 2004. The program has certified only one-third of the department’s information assurance workforce so far, and though officials have yet to complete an extensive assessment of the program’s performance, they see signs that it is having a positive impact.
Licenses vs. certifications
The new proposal would affect the entire federal IT industry — from contractors to government employees and the many companies that provide information assurance certification and training.
The use of certification as a tool for hiring, placing and promoting employees is certainly nothing new. However, a mandatory licensing program would be unprecedented, and that proposal has proven particularly contentious.
“A lot of people have problems with where do you draw the line: Who has to get a license, who doesn’t, who would be the licensing authority, what would be the extra cost, what are the liability issues?” said Lynn McNulty, director of government affairs at (ISC)² and a former federal information security program manager. (ISC)² is one of numerous organizations that constitute an expansive training and certification industry.
McNulty said he’s not hearing a lot of complaints about the certification requirement, but many people have a problem with the licensing requirement.
During a roundtable discussion on certifications (ISC)² hosted in early June, several participants said the licensing requirement would represent a departure from the state-based approach to validating the qualifications of professionals such as doctors and lawyers.
Federal licensing of cybersecurity professionals “would fly against that principle, and it just doesn’t make a lot of good sense in my opinion,” said John Lainhart, public-sector service area leader for security, privacy, wireless and IT governance at IBM’s Global Business Services. He participated in the (ISC)2 roundtable discussion as a representative of the Information Systems Audit and Control Association, which provides cybersecurity training and certifications.
Critics say another problem with licensure and its added layers of federal oversight is that the government’s training and testing programs would not evolve as quickly as industry-driven certification programs.
That would be a significant slowdown for an industry that changes as rapidly as IT does, and could dampen rather than boost the growth of a newly trained cybersecurity workforce, said Dan Liutikas, another roundtable participant and senior vice president, chief legal officer and corporate secretary at CompTIA, an IT industry and training association.
Yet another issue with licensing is what form the testing should take. Alan Paller, director of research at the SANS Institute, a cybersecurity training, certification and research organization, supports the idea of evaluating security professionals’ skills in operational situations, as airplane pilots are tested.
He added that if the government establishes a licensing program for IT security professionals, it shouldn’t belong to the commercial world. “It should be owned by a completely independent organization that isn’t trying to sell something already, and they should not be able to do any training at all — none,” Paller said.
The current state of play
Establishing certification or licensing requirements would force the government to define skill sets and career paths for cybersecurity professionals. Such tracks are common for other government jobs but nonexistent for IT security.
“Everything always points back to the fact that we are calling things apples and oranges and grapes,” said Brenda Oldfield, director of cyber education and workforce development in the Homeland Security Department’s National Cybersecurity Division. “We do not have common terminology across the mission areas. Everything that we attempt to do in developing any plans for training and education of the civilian workforce or of the federal workforce depends upon this common lexicon.”
On that issue, the legislation might be getting ahead of itself, said Patricia Titus, former chief information security officer at the Transportation Security Administration and currently CISO at Unisys Federal Systems.
The Office of Personnel Management still hasn’t designated a job series for IT security professionals, she said. Right now, such workers are categorized as IT specialists, managers or program analysts.
“I think OPM needs to develop an IT security job series, and part of that series then would be the requirements of what the individuals have to do,” Titus said. Those might include certification, appropriate training and relevant job responsibilities, she added.
Oldfield has been working for years to establish a common set of skills for information security professionals in the government. Most recently, that effort has been folded into the education component of the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative, the multiyear, multibillion-dollar program launched by the Bush administration. Oldfield co-leads the education initiative for DHS in cooperation with DOD.
“We have to be able to validate that cyber professionals have the skills needed, but we have to identify what those skills are uniformly,” she said.
Officials have identified numerous federal documents that specify different IT security competencies that workers should possess. The challenge is to bring them all together. That’s the job of an interagency work group being established to identify critical roles and unify agencies’ training efforts. Such consolidation will also likely produce cost savings by eliminating duplicative efforts.
“Many times there are high-end training classes and laboratory experiences conducted that have empty seats, and they could offer those seats to other agencies if we were comparing apples to apples,” Oldfield said.
DOD’s experience
As experts weigh the potential value of a governmentwide cybersecurity certification or licensing requirement, they are turning to DOD for lessons about how its program has fared.
DOD’s certification requirements cover a spectrum of management and technical information assurance roles for some 90,000 military, civilian and contract employees. Officials created the program in 2004 in response to departmental Directive 8570, released a manual of instructions in 2005 and updated that manual in 2008. Under the program, they identified commercially available, accredited certifications that information assurance employees and contractors need to have to work on DOD systems.
“The idea of a common lexicon that’s provided by these certifications is something that was lacking before,” said George Bieber, director of DOD’s Information Assurance Workforce Improvement Program.
At the launch of the program, Pentagon officials created a working group with representatives from the military services to define the functions or skills the certifications would cover. Then they examined which existing certifications aligned most closely with the desired skills.
DOD’s legal representative originally said they needed to use certifications rather than licensure because the latter is not a federal or DOD function, Bieber said. Officials also decided to take advantage of existing commercial certifications rather than develop custom programs so that employees would have skills they could use in the private sector or at other agencies.
DOD’s program hasn’t moved as quickly as officials had hoped. Their goal was to have about 40 percent of targeted workers certified by now, but only about 30 percent have been. Bieber blamed the shortfall on an aggressive schedule, funding constraints, changing culture and the extra work needed to make changes in supporting systems, such as personnel databases. However, DOD officials still hope to have all 90,000 certifications done by 2011.
Studies conducted by a couple of DOD offices have shown that security seems to improve as more employees are certified. DOD officials are in the process of collecting data to assess the program more broadly.
Bieber said he has heard that certifications help increase a cybersecurity staff’s problem-solving abilities by providing them with a common lexicon when addressing incidents.
“It’s really enabled the security issues to be handled at a lower level, whereas before it was going up,” he said.
The DOD model expanded?
It’s uncertain whether the requirements outlined in the Rockefeller-Snowe bill would expand the DOD model of using commercial certifications or prompt the development of new standards. And experts disagree on which approach is best.
Paller said the way DOD developed its program by surveying commercial certifications was a huge error. He believes a certification program should measure specific skills that people use in specific jobs — something he said DOD’s approach doesn’t do. Rather, it found a lowest common denominator, he said.
“My sense is if we care about this enough to make it a national law, we ought to make it much more technical and much more sophisticated,” Paller said.
However, others see expanding DOD’s approach as the way to go.
Lainhart said DOD’s program, which is based on U.S. and internationally recognized certifications, is preferable.
“Let’s not reinvent the wheel,” Lainhart said. “We’ll achieve a global standard that way by using the certifications that are out there, and I think that’s again consistent with [President Barack Obama’s] cybersecurity policy review.”
Indeed, what will follow from the administration’s recently completed 60-day review of cybersecurity policy could be a big factor in determining the new proposal’s fate.
The reviewers’ report recommends that the federal government initiate a national public awareness and education campaign. It adds that shared training and rotational assignments across agencies — and potentially with the private sector — would be efficient and beneficial. However, the administration hasn’t said whether it favors mandatory certifications and licenses for cybersecurity professionals.
Even with all the unanswered questions, some experts are happy just to be having the conversation. Bieber said he thinks all the focus on cybersecurity will turn more attention on training and certification efforts.
“One of the things I love about the Rockefeller-Snowe bill is it's provocative, and it’s creating these discussions,” said Mason Brown, director of the SANS Institute and a participant in the (ISC)2 roundtable discussion. “If we expect something in draft format and out of committee or out of the gates to be perfect, we’re a little bit nutty.”
Mon, Jun 22, 2009 D. Certification Central Texas
The DoD Information Assurance Certification program (DoD 8570.1M) would work much better if it did not rely on commercial-type security certifications that do not teach and test Information Assurance technical and management professionals on how DoD does IA. As already noted, they have been a big money making opportunity for several "non-profit" organizations.
None of these commercial certifications test DoD personnel on their knowledge of DIACAP, Information Assurance Vulnerability Management, background investigations required for various levels of access, DoD password controls, INFOCON, etc, etc, etc. What DoD needs is a national- or service-level school and test program taught by DoD or by the services (NDU, AFIT, Naval Postgrad School, Army Signal Center, et al).

Training needs to be broken into levels. There are common factors that come into play (base level) but then you get more specific based on the job requirements and the network sensitivity based on classification, mission need, etc.
The other thing that needs to happen is to identify those critical positions and pull them back to government positions. Nothing against contractors, but if your lead admin or information assurance person works year to year wondering what's going to happen to the contract, you are putting those networks at risk because of lack of continuity.
Once the government pulls those positions back, they need to look at the salaries and scale the benefits and salaries to match the technical expertise. Once again, you don't want to train people and then lose them to the commercial world. Be secure and keep continuity in your security program by rewarding those valued employees.

When you’re playing games at 4K resolution, the Titan X’s 12GB of memory is overkill, but hardcore high-performance computing tasks can gobble up all the RAM you’re able to throw at it. AMD’s new FirePro S9170 satiates the professional graphics crowd by dropping a mammoth 32GB of GDDR5 memory onto the board, practically sneering at the 24GB of RAM that comes standard on Nvidia’s dual-GPU Tesla K80.
AMD says the FirePro S9170 is “the world’s first and fastest 32GB single-GPU server card.” Nvidia’s next-gen Pascal GPUs, due in 2016, will also be able to support 32GB of RAM.
AMD’s press release stays mum on processor specifics besides saying it’s based on the second-generation Graphics Core Next (GCN) GPU architecture. That said, the lack of cutting-edge high-bandwidth memory technology, paired with the 512-bit memory interface and 320GBps of total memory bandwidth, suggests the FirePro S9170 is based off the Grenada core found in AMD’s R9 390X, rather than the company’s hulking new Fiji GPU.
[ Further reading: Best graphics cards for PC gaming ]
While memory’s a major concern for compute uses, it’s not the only one. The FirePro S9170 offers an eyebrow-raising 2.62 teraflops of peak double precision performance—far more than the 1.66 TFlops Nvidia’s single-GPU Tesla K40 offers, and even more than the dual-GPU Tesla K80 pumps out when humming along at base speed. (The Tesla K80’s boost clock capabilities can give it an edge over the FirePro S9170 when needed though, topping out at 2.91 TFlops.)
AMD’s new 275W card hits 5.24 TFlops of peak single precision compute performance, and includes full OpenCL 2.0 support. Further details have yet to be disclosed. Look for the FirePro S9170 to land at the top of AMD’s professional graphics product stack sometime in the third quarter for an as-yet-undisclosed amount of money.

Alcaul. O is a virus that spreads to other computers by copying its code to other files or programs.
Alcaul. O uses the following propagation or distribution methods:
Exploiting vulnerabilities with the intervention of the user: exploiting vulnerabilities in file formats or applications. To exploit them successfully it needs the intervention of the user: opening files, viewing malicious web pages, reading emails, etc.
File infection: it infects different types of files, which are then distributed through any of the usual means: floppy disks, email messages with attachments, Internet download, files transferred via FTP, IRC channels, P2P file sharing networks, etc.
Alcaul. O uses the following infection strategies:
Prepending: it enters its code at the beginning of the file it infects. By doing this, it ensures that the virus is run every time the infected file is executed, but without interfering the functioning of the file.

It’s not possible to always be strong.
It’s stressful to always be strong.
To have balance, every person must be able to sometimes show strength, and sometimes show vulnerability.
Vulnerability is not weakness. Vulnerability can be a source of power in the same way that sometimes there is weakness inherent in a position of strength.
If you are vulnerable, you are open to feel and be real, rather than be detached and strong to protect yourself.
Vulnerability is the yin to the yang that is strength. We all need a balance of yin and yang to survive and be healthy and happy.

Orange County medical device design & development company DeviceLab shares top news and blogs the week ending 3/5/2017.
DeviceLab is keenly interested in diverse aspects that relate to medical device design and development—in particular, mHealth and healthcare IoT.
When we find information particularly exceptional or interesting, we often share it on our @devicelab Twitter feed (which we encourage you to follow). This is a weekly post that shares the best medical device design and development information that we found from the previous week.
3. Which Low Power IoT Network protocol will prevail? Bluetooth, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, or SigFox
Similarly, this is noteworthy because the “Top 10 Internet of Things Technologies” did address low-power IoT networking—twice! What also makes this is interesting is the “comments” section creates almost as many answers and it does questions.
DeviceLab’s ideal balance of proven experience and cutting-edge ideas for medical device development includes mHealth/wireless medical device design services and medical software development. Contact us to learn how we can advance your medical IoT device from concept to commercialization!
If you weren’t affected by what some are calling “the Internet apocalypse”, then you almost certainly heard about the massive distribution denial of services (DDoS) attack earlier this month that has made the topic of cybersecurity one that is more than just a threat to be discussed by U.S. Presidential candidates.
Likewise, if you’ve been following our blog, you’ve also likely heard us talking about cybersecurity as it relates to wireless medical devices—most recently in Wireless Medical Device Cybersecurity: FDA Draft Guidelines.
If there is one “benefit,” for lack of a better word, for the recent DDoS attack is that it is thrusting IoT medical device cybersecurity into the mainstream discourse. Unfortunately, it might also be unfairly lumping all IoT manufacturers together—which might not be entirely fair to IoT medical device companies.
For instance, NBC News recently published an online article, Internet of Things: Have We Bitten Off More Than We Can Chew? in which it addressed some very interesting points about IoT—both in general and specifically in regards to wireless medical devices.
IoT: Getting Too Big Too Fast?
The article said there are approximately 6.4 billion IoT devices currently in use, with estimates for the figure to reach 20.8 billion by 2020. This should come as no surprise to anybody that is engaged in wireless medical devices.
The article next explained that the DDoS attack was in part due to IoT device vulnerabilities that enabled “harmless Web-connected home devices” to function as “cyber soldiers in a ‘botnet’—a network of ‘bots.’” Further, it explained how IoT security has “by far the most spectacular vulnerabilities.” For instance, the relative ease in hacking an electronic wheelchair has been demonstrated by hackers that work with manufacturer security teams to identify security flaws.
With IoT device being so capable—and vulnerable—for maligned activities, the need for improved security is evident. However, the article indicated that it not a priority for manufacturers because “it’s an economic disincentive” to invest additional time and money into an IoT device because they want to “rush it out to market to sure they land the first punch.”
Are IoT Medical Device Manufacturers More Proactive About Cybersecurity?
Perhaps for consumer IoT, the “rush it to market” sentiment is true, however, it’s perhaps not as true—and per-haps a bit insulting—to IoT medical device design and development companies. And this precisely one of the reasons why we discuss matters such as what we covered in Wireless Medical Device Cybersecurity: FDA Draft Guidelines.
As we wrote in that blog, “Wireless medical device data takes the level of personal information to an entirely new level.” In short, IoT medical device designers, developers and manufacturers are keenly aware of the risks involved with IoT cybersecurity—risks that don’t just result in “an inconvenience for everyone” (as the NBC article said), but instead, the health and privacy of IoT medical device users.
There’s no doubt that cybersecurity—no matter the user or market—is an important issue and one that will never have a perfect solution. But hopefully all IoT manufacturers can learn not just from flaws that are sometimes brought to light in unpleasant ways—such as with the DDoS attack—but all can embrace the challenges (and risks) that we can definitely say that IoT medical device manufacturers have embraced.
The annual conference is a hotbed of education and networking for Orange County medical device innovators and investors—which, for us, as an Orange County medical device design and manufacturing company, is a special opportunity to mingle with the community at our exhibition booth.
It’s also a prime time and location for us to unveil new and exciting exhibits—and this year was also no exception! Last year, we introduced our wireless medical device electronic systems platform display.—which, if you haven’t yet seen it, is quite a sight!
Featuring a full-size translucent male-form mannequin that we call “Apollo,” on a custom-designed examination table, the display demonstrates our state-of-the-art Apollo™ wireless medical device electronic systems platform.
This year, we unveiled “Athena,” a full-size translucent female-form mannequin that stands upright by Apollo’s exam table. Together, they help demonstrate how multiple complementary technologies such as touchscreens, sensors, RFID, wireless charging, digital signal processing and IO devices (e.g., USB) can be seamlessly integrated.
Thanks to Apollo and Athena, we had more visitors than ever! Approximately 200 guests dropped by to meet them and to engage in conversations about IoT medical device applications and innovation.
However, as intriguing as the mannequins look, it’s the Apollo platform to which they are connected that truly exciting people. We greatly enjoyed talking to them about it provides solutions to numerous medical industry needs, including rapid development time, longevity in product lifecycle, RTOS certified for safety critical applications and robust processing capability.
If you’d like to learn more about the Apollo platform and how DeviceLab can bring your IoT medical device from concept to commercialization, please contact us.

On the heels of a string of hacks and other online intrusions that exposed the credit card numbers and other personal data of millions of American consumers, President Barack Obama is proposing new legislation to bolster cybersecurity and combat identity theft.
Among other proposed measures, the Personal Data Notification and Protection Act would require companies to notify customers within 30 days of a network breach that exposed confidential information.
“In the recent breaches, more than 100 million Americans have had their personal data compromised,” Obama said during a speech Jan. 12, 2015, at the Federal Trade Commission in Washington, D.C.
“So this is a direct threat to the economic security of American families and we’ve got to stop it,” said the president, who will further discuss his cybersecurity initiatives during his State of the Union address Jan. 20.
If approved by Congress, the Personal Data Notification and Protection Act would establish a “single, strong national standard” for notification requirements that would replace “a patchwork of laws” at the state level.
“In addition, we’re proposing to close loopholes in the law so we can go after more criminals who steal and sell the identities of Americans, even when they do it overseas,” Obama said.
The president also said he would introduce a Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights that would regulate how companies use and store customers’ personal data.
Recent “polls show that 9 in 10 Americans feel they have in some way lost control of their personal information — and that can lead to less interaction with technology, less innovation, and a less productive economy,” according to The White House.
The president’s announcement comes just weeks after the Federal Bureau of Investigation unveiled a campaign to hire Cyber Special Agents to join the widening fight against online criminals.
The FBI is seeking individuals with a bachelor’s degree from an accredited university, as well as a background in areas such as computer security or database administration.
Major retailers from Home Depot to Target and Neiman Marcus to Michaels have been targeted by cyber thieves in the past year, as have grocery chains and healthcare operators, among other companies. In December 2014, the hacking of Sony Pictures Entertainment exposed corporate documents and confidential data relating to the movie studio’s employees.
The suspects in these online intrusions have ranged from Eastern European cyber thieves to a Russian crime ring and hackers tied to the government of North Korea.
Worldwide, the costs associated with cyber crime are estimated to exceed $445 billion a year, with the United States accounting for nearly one-fourth of that total, the Center for Strategic and International Studies reported in June 2014.
The FBI and other government agencies are competing with private businesses to hire in-demand cybersecurity professionals. From 2012 to 2022, jobs for information security analysts are projected to jump by 37%, the U.S. Department of Labor reports. Meanwhile, a 2014 report by Cisco found that almost 1 million additional cybersecurity professionals are needed globally.
“If we’re going to be connected, then we need to be protected,” President Obama said during his speech at the FTC. “As Americans, we shouldn’t have to forfeit our basic privacy when we go online to do our business.”

Microsoft has completed work on the first version of Windows 10 designed specifically for Chinese government agencies, according to a report from the People's Republic of China (PRC) last week.
In an interview with the China-based publication Caixin, the head of Microsoft's efforts in the PRC said that the initial version of the special edition had been finished.
Haupter did not detail the changes Microsoft made for the Chinese government edition, although he alluded to some of the same differences between the consumer and the top-end commercial Enterprise SKU (stock-keeping unit), including a de-emphasis of consumer-oriented features and applications.
In December, Microsoft announced that it would partner with China Electronics Technology Group (CETC) to create C&M Information Technologies to license Windows 10 to government agencies and some state-owned corporations, including those that control energy, telecommunications and transportation.
Under the deal Microsoft struck with CETC, C&M was to be the exclusive licensee of Windows 10, would create custom Windows 10 images for those customers that will include government-mandated antivirus software, and provide activation and update services -- presumably based on Microsoft's current technologies -- as well as deployment services and support.
CETC was an interesting partner for Microsoft, as it is one of 10 state-owned defense contractors. CETC manages scores of research institutes and more than 180 commercial subsidiaries, most of them involved in defense-related research and development, the production of defense and dual-use electronics, or supplying the People's Liberation Army (PLA), government agencies and state-run companies with technology.
Microsoft holds a minority stake of 49% in C&M; CETC controls the remaining 51%.
When it announced the joint venture, Microsoft stressed that it, not the PRC's Communist government, would retain control of the operating system. "We will maintain ownership of the core Windows 10 technology while working, as we've always done, to allow customers and partners to build components that plug into our platform," said Yusuf Mehdi, a senior executive in the Windows and devices group, in December.
Windows 10 maintains a tenuous beachhead in the PRC. According to Baidu, China's largest search provider, Windows 10 powered just 4.5% of the PCs that reached 150,000 websites in the country last month.
Meanwhile, Windows 7 accounted for 51% of the usage share measured by Baidu, while Windows XP, the OS Microsoft retired nearly two years ago, ran 32.9%, or nearly a third, of all personal computers. Altogether, Microsoft's various versions powered almost 94% of all PCs in the PRC during February, a slightly higher percentage than worldwide, according to U.S.-based analytics firm Net Applications.
This story, "Microsoft wraps up a special Windows 10 edition for China's government" was originally published by Computerworld.

This computer virus could kill…
Wired Magazine is reporting that US Predator and Reaper drone aircraft have been known for at least 2 weeks to be infected with a keystroke logging virus which records the remote pilots’ every keystroke and computer action.
So far the virus — which is of unknown origin — isn’t known to have caused problems on missions or — it is hoped — to have sent secure information to foreign powers, but military software experts and the defense contractors who make the drone aircraft have not been able to find out anything much about it — or kill it.
So much for the computer acumen of the U.S. defense establishment, eh?
H.R. McMaster doesn’t know anything about it — except that Jared Kushner’s attempt to set up a Russian-controlled communications backchannel between the Trump team and the Kremlin is nothing to worry about.
Neither one nor the other… but both.

With this launch, we’ll show whether apps are Google verified in the Admin console on the app details page and the App Access Control summary page. We hope this visibility will make it easier to make informed decisions about access to G Suite data within your organization.
Apps often require access to G Suite data to help your users get work done. Google works with app developers to make sure that third-party apps comply with Google privacy and security requirements.
If apps meet certain verification requirements, they are considered “Google verified”. If they don’t complete the verification process, they are considered “unverified” and might be subject to restrictions. You can control which apps can access sensitive G Suite data via App access control, and choose to authorize unverified apps if you want.

Taylor asked her what she did. She said she wrote back to the programmer telling him not to do anything.
Taylor told the CISO that the university should have reported the breach. The CISO disagreed, saying, essentially, that because very few people review system log files and because only one or two people at the university understood the systems and the data in them, it was probable that the breach would go unremarked and undiscovered. “I was thinking, Wow,” Taylor recalls. “That’s a risky chance to take.”
According to Behnam Dayanim, a privacy attorney with Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker, state security breach notification laws are among the most frequently ignored types of security regulation. About 35 states have passed security breach notification laws, which lay out, to varying degrees, when an enterprise needs to notify customers and clients if their private information may have been exposed to an unauthorized user. According to CIO and PricewaterhouseCoopers’ “The Global State of Information Security 2006” survey, 32 percent of U.S. organizations admit to not being compliant with state privacy regulations.
There are two possible explanations for why the noncompliance rate is so high. First, the risk of being caught is low because it has been extremely difficult to tie a specific instance of fraud to a specific breach at a specific company, says Jim Lewis, a security expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, D.C. (Recent lawsuits filed against TJX—owner of discount retailers TJ Maxx, Marshalls and other stores—which claim credit card numbers stolen during a security breach in 2005 and 2006 led to specific instances of fraud, may indicate that this fact of security life is changing. For more on the TJX breach, see Financial Penalties for Security Breaches Will Promote Change.)
Second, these laws tend not to be terribly specific regarding situations and requirements. For example, California’s security breach notification law, the first in the nation, does not require notification of a security breach if the private data was encrypted. However, it also does not require encryption.
For that reason, how companies protect private data has become a risk-based business decision, says Sony’s Spaltro. Sony processes about 5 million credit card transactions a month, mostly associated with its PlayStation consoles and the massively multiplayer online games it sells. Although Spaltro declines to talk about Sony’s security practices, he says that while Sony Online Entertainment is fully compliant, every company weighs the cost of protecting personal data with the cost of what it would take to notify customers if a breach occurred. Spaltro offers a hypothetical example of a company that relies on legacy systems to store and manage credit card transactions for its customers. The cost to harden the legacy database against a possible intrusion could come to $10 million, he says. The cost to notify customers in case of a breach might be $1 million. With those figures, says Spaltro, “it’s a valid business decision to accept the risk” of a security breach. “I will not invest $10 million to avoid a possible $1 million loss,” he suggests.
That reasoning is “shortsighted,” argues Ari Schwartz, a privacy expert at the Center for Democracy and Technology. The cost of notification is only a small part of the potential cost to a company. Damage to the corporate brand can be significant. And if the FTC rules that the company was in any way negligent, it could face multimillion-dollar fines. In 2006, the FTC fined information aggregator ChoicePoint $15 million after the company admitted to inadvertently selling more than 163,000 personal financial records to thieves. The FTC ruled ChoicePoint had not taken proper precautions to check the background of customers asking for the information.
Crime and Punishment
How can a CIO know that the security measures he’s taken will be adjudged customary and reasonable by federal or state regulators? Looking at the 15 security breach cases the FTC has ruled on since 2002, a picture emerges as to what regulators deem reasonable (the FTC plans this spring to release a document that will set out more specific guidelines), and by looking at the 14 cases the FTC has settled against companies that have experienced security breaches, one can get a sense of what’s deemed customary. (For a look at some of the more recent cases, see When Companies Violate the Rules.)
In 2005 the FTC handed down a judgment against BJ’s Wholesale Club. BJ’s was found to have “engaged in a number of practices which, taken together, did not provide reasonable security for sensitive customer information.” The FTC ruled that BJ’s had failed to encrypt personal data transmitted over the Internet; had stored personal data after it no longer needed the information; used commonly known default passwords for access to files containing personal information; and did not use commercially available technology to secure wireless connections, detect intrusions or conduct security audits.
“We know security can’t be perfect, so we don’t expect perfection,” says Jessica Rich, assistant director of the Division for Privacy and Identity Protection at the FTC. “But companies need to try, and if you do that, you will be much better off.”
But for some, “trying” requires a lot more than receiving an “A” for effort. You better know what you are doing, says Joe Fantuzzi, CEO of the information security company Workshare. He says the FTC’s ruling against BJ’s was intended to send the message that if you claim to protect your customers’ personal data in your privacy statement (as BJ’s did), your security had better be up to the task.
“The point is that companies make risk management versus compliance management trade-offs all the time,” Fantuzzi says. “Just make sure you do your homework so you know you made the right trade-off.”

I wrote this article to help you remove Jaff Ransomware. This Jaff Ransomware removal guide works for all Windows versions.
Jaff ransomware, also known as Jaff Decryption System, is a malicious win-locker. The nefarious program encrypts 423 different file types. The list encompasses text documents, archives, images, videos, audios, spreadsheets, presentations, scripts, databases and others. Jaff ransomware uses AES and RSA algorithms as the basis for the encryption. In addition, the hackers exploit CryptoAPI, an encryption system which is implemented into the Windows OS. The virus marks the locked objects with the .jaff file extension. Win-lockers use encryption algorithms to render the code schemes of vulnerable files. They can be set to encrypt a different number of formats. Jaff ransomware has an extensive target range.
Researchers have been able to identify the propagation vector of the infection. Jaff ransomware is distributed by the Necurs botnet. The malicious client transfers the virus through spam emails. The containing messages have an appended attachment titled nm.pdf. Inside the attachment, there is a .docm file with a name consisting of 10 random letters. When you open the text file, a message will inform you that it is protected. You will receive instructions on how to make the content accessible. First, you will have to click on “Enable editing” and then on “Enable content”. If you do so, Necurs will establish a connection with a command and control (C&C) server. The botnet will proceed to download and install Jaff ransomware to your system. To avoid contacting malware through spam, proof the reliability of the emails you receive.
The Jaff Ransomware
Jaff ransomware performs the encryption through background processes. Before you know it, your personal files will have been locked. Upon completing the encryption, the win-locker drops a set of files. Jaff ransomware produces ransom notes in .txt, .html and .bmp format. The files share the title ReadMe. You will find a copy of them in every folder which contains encrypted data. To convey the message clearly, the sinister program sets the graphic version of the note as the desktop background. This way, the win-locker makes sure that the victims will find the instructions. All three notes list the same information.
Jaff ransomware assigns a 10-digit ID to every infected computer, referred to as a decrypt ID. The hackers require people to download and install the Tor web browser. The note contains a link to a payment website where you will find complete instructions on how to pay the ransom. It should be noted that the authors of Jaff ransomware have copied the payment platform of Locky ransomware. There is currently no word on whether or not the same people are responsible for the two programs. The renegade developers have already produced several builds of the win-locker. The amount of the ransom has gone up with the later variants. The hackers had initially set the ransom at 1.82196031 Bitcoins (BTC). The sum has since been increased to over 2 BTC and it currently amounts to about $3,700 USD.
The cyber criminals have selected the Tor web browser and the Bitcoin cryptocurrency for a reason. This browsing client was created to enable people to browse the web anonymously. It prevents third party websites from tracking users’ geographic location. Similarly, Bitcoins were devised as a secure means of payment. The platforms which trade them do not require users to disclose personal details. The owners of Jaff ransomware use these options to protect their identity and hide their coordinates.
The attackers will tell you that the only way to have your files decrypted is with a unique key which only they can provide. Be advised that cyber criminals cannot be trusted on their word. There is no guarantee that paying the ransom would resolve the issue. They may not provide the decryption key. Even if they do, they can launch another attack in time. The only solution to the problem is to delete Jaff ransomware from your computer. Upon removing the win-locker, you can attempt to restore the lost files from their shadow volume copies. For further instructions, please refer to the guide below.

Top Five IT Security Webinars of 20122012-12-152016-12-31https://business.brighttalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/logo.svgBrightTALK Businesshttps://business.brighttalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/ddos-webinar.jpg200px200px
2012 gave rise to a whole host of new threats for IT security managers. Hackers are no longer just out for notoriety; they’re skilled professionals with deep-pocketed backers. Significant growth in the mobile economy has also lead to greater scrutiny of mobile application security, and the proliferation of mobile devices has forced security professionals to scramble in order to accommodate them in the corporate infrastructure.
These threats won’t be abating in 2013, so it’s important to have a solid knowledge of them. Take a moment to view these webinars, which distinguished themselves as the best of 2012 in terms of views, ratings, and audience engagement.

The correct password is required before WinZip® can unzip an encrypted file from a WinZip file. If WinZip does not already know the correct password from a previous operation during the same session on the same archive, it will ask you for the password when it is needed.
Note that WinZip unzips files not only for the Unzip operation but also when you view or open a file and when you use features such as Test, Unzip and Try, and Install. To enhance the security of your encrypted Zip files, when WinZip is done with the temporarily unzipped files, it will wipe the files prior to deleting them. This will prevent any unauthorized people from being able to recover these temporary files.
The most efficient way to encrypt files is to do so while you are adding them to an archive. In the WinZip Ribbon interface, click the Encrypt icon on the Create/Share or Edit tabs OR turn on the Encrypt option in the Actions pane of the main window BEFORE adding files to the Zip file. WinZip will then display the Encrypt dialog during the Add operation, where you will specify the password and encryption method.
When you add files to a Zip file from Windows Explorer, you will have an option to encrypt the files if the Add dialog is displayed. In some cases, however (e.g., when you choose Add to recently used Zip file), there is no Add dialog and therefore no opportunity to encrypt the files while they are being added. In these cases, you can encrypt files after they have been added, as described in the next section.
Open the Zip file, select the files that you want to encrypt or select all of them, open the Tools tab, and click Selected Files to open the Convert Selected Files dialog where you can choose to encrypt the selected files.
WinZip will display the Encrypt dialog asking for the password to use to encrypt the selected files and then encrypt ONLY the selected files.
Open the Zip file, in the Actions pane on the right, toggle on the Encrypt option in the Convert & Protect section, which will enable the Options button at the bottom of the section, click the Options button and select Apply to all files in the Zip.
in Windows Explorer, right click on the Zip file and choose Encrypt from the WinZip shortcut menu.
WinZip will ask for a password and encryption method and then encrypt all files currently in the Zip file.
If a file in the Zip file is already encrypted, it will first be decrypted and then re-encrypted using the method and password you specified. WinZip will first try to decrypt the file using the current encryption password; if the file cannot be decrypted with this password, WinZip will ask you for the correct decryption password. If you are unable to supply the correct password, the file will be skipped, and it will remain unchanged in the Zip file.
Note that it is more efficient to encrypt files while they are being added to the Zip file than to encrypt them after they are already in the Zip file.
Notes on using encryption
The main WinZip window marks encrypted files with an asterisk following the file name or a lock icon in the Encrypted column. The Encrypted column indicates whether a file is encrypted or not and once the correct passphrase has been entered, indicates that the encrypted files are unlocked and accessible.
In the Encrypt and Decrypt dialogs, check the Hide the password check box to prevent the password from being displayed as you type it. If you check this option, the Encrypt dialog will require you to type the password twice for confirmation (to avoid typographical errors).
The quality of the passwords you choose can greatly affect the security of your encrypted documents. Please read about passwords.
Be sure to keep track of your passwords! You will not be able to extract or open any files for which you do not have the correct password.

Yesterday a tweet by Duminda, a fellow developer on Twitter, caught my eye. In that tweet he said that he has been warned by Have I Been Pwned about a data breach at PayHere, an online payment processor in Sri Lanka.
#SriLanka payment gateway @PayHereLK 's hacked data dump is listed on https://t.co/DFEEZx7yZz
You can check whether you're included in it.
It's massive, 65GB data of 1.5 million accounts including partial credit card data, addresses, purchase history, etc. #lka #Cybersecurity
— Duminda Jayasena (@dumindaxsb) May 2, 2022
PayHere may well be one the largest and most significant data breach to occur in Sri Lanka, and it’s the only data breach from Sri Lanka to be included in Have I Been Pwned.
Since I may have submitted my personal and payment details though a merchant that uses PayHere as their payment processor, also since I too have tried to apply as a merchant on PayHere several years ago, I decided to search my email on Have I Been Pwned and there it was, my email is in the PayHere data breach.
But the thing is, I never received an email about a data breach from PayHere. They never asked me to change my password or never informed me abut the what the hackers managed to steal from about me from their database. Are my banking details at risk? Did they manage to get my credit card information?
The account that initially posted this tweet, “MyWayReach” is now suspended. Even though the breach happened in March/April, apart from few social media posts, PayHere never informed their customers about the incident.
Users can easily miss social media posts about a breach. It is not a responsible way to handle a serious data breach, and informing your customers about an incident.
According to Have I Been Pwned, the breach contains 1.5+ million email addresses, personal information, partially obfuscated credit card data, etc.
It took nearly a month, for them to acknowledge the breach in a blog post. They are yet to inform their customers individually about the breach.
Data protection act loophole?
PayHere exploited a loophole in the Sri Lankan data protection act to get away from informing their customers about the data breach. The act binds companies to inform any potential data breach to the data protection authority. However, the act does not explicitly bind companies to inform a data breach to their customers.
However, there is a moral obligation for companies to inform about a data breach to their customers, and something that most global companies follow when handling a serious data breach as of this nature.
As AccessNow which has done a through research on the Data Protection Act suggests, companies should be given a deadline no less than 5 days to inform the public about a potential data breach to the data protection authority and to the public.
You can read about the Access Now analysis of the current data protection act in Sri Lanka – https://www.accessnow.org/cms/assets/uploads/2022/02/Policy_Brief_Sri_Lanka_Data_Protection_Bill_February_2022.pdf
PayHere’s data breach is a good lesson for tech companies on how to handle a potential data breach in a responsible manner. And we hopefuture amendments to the data protection act closing down these loopholes for better disclosure of data breaches.

After a 2017 data breach that affected nearly 150 million people, courts have ordered credit reporting bureau Equifax to pay upwards of $700 million in fines and monetary relief to consumers.
For consumers affected by the data breach, personal information such as Social Security numbers, birthdates, addresses and even driver’s license numbers were potentially exposed.
As part of the court-ordered settlement, Equifax is paying $425 million to affected consumers to help cover the time and money spent to protect themselves from identity theft that may have resulted from the breach.
So, just what does all of this mean for you? Well, under the settlement, people whose information was exposed in the leak will be eligible for free credit monitoring. Or, those who already have credit monitoring services can request restitution in the form of a $125 cash payment.
If you can document that time and money spent recovering from the leak cost you more than $125, you may also qualify for cash payments of up to $20,000.
To see if your information was affected by the breach, you’ll need to fill out some basic information on the official Equifax Breach Settlement page here. If you qualify, follow this link to choose the settlement option that fits your situation.
There’s only one catch: the fine print on the settlement agreement states that if a large enough group of qualifying consumers apply for relief, payouts may be reduced from the stated amount of $125 per person. Still, something’s better than nothing, right?
Thanks for stopping by but it looks like the contest you tried to enter is over. Keep an eye on your email for a chance at the next one!

Blue Microphones has teamed up with Blizzard Entertainment to launch the Yeti X World of Warcraft Edition microphone.
The special edition microphone features a voice modulator that allows you to make your voice sound like Azeroth-based characters, including Orcs, Gnomes and Demons.
Hundreds of HD samples have also been taken from the upcoming World of Warcraft: Shadowlands expansion, providing oodles of variability for your Twitch streams or vlogs.
Related: Best Laptop 2020
The Blue VO!CE software – available via Logitech’s G HUB platform – will allow you to tweak the microphone settings and perfect the character voice you want to adopt. You’re also able to play World of Warcraft flavoured sound effects midstream, whether that’s to celebrate a victory or amuse your audience.
A multi-function smart knob makes it easy to adjust vocal levels, mute your voice and tweak headphone volume. Logitech also claims the four-capsule condenser microphone delivers ‘exceptional focus and clarity’ for a professional-standard quality.
This also means you can use the microphone in multiple ways, whether you want it focussed solely on your voice so it doesn’t pick up background noise, or switch it to ‘Bidirectional Mode’ to accommodate two people for podcasts and interviews.
Related: Best PC Games 2020
The special edition Blue Yeti X microphone has also been given a World of Warcraft styled makeover, with runes lasered into the base and the game’s logo printed on the side.
Otherwise, it offers all the same features as the standard Yeti X microphone that launched last year, including compatibility with both Windows PCs and Macs. It’s apparently easy to set up too, simply requiring you to plug the USB cable into your PC.
The Yeti X World of Warcraft Edition microphone will become available this month for £189.99. That’s slightly more expensive than the standard edition microphone, but who can put a price on sounding like your favourite World of Warcraft characters?
The post Blue's World of Warcraft microphone makes you sound like an orc appeared first on Trusted Reviews.

Three researchers from Nashville, Tenn.-based Vanderbilt University wrote to JAMA Internal Medicine to question the findings of a recent study on hospital data breaches.
In the initial study, published in JAMA Internal Medicine in June, lead author Ge Bai, PhD, an assistant professor at Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins Carey Business School, worked with two co-authors to analyze HHS statistics on data breaches reported from late 2009 to 2016. Dr. Bai and her colleagues determined teaching hospitals and facilities with high bed counts were most at risk for breaches.
However, in a November letter to the editor, the Vanderbilt researchers questioned whether the study methods hold "inherent biases" against larger institutions, which might lead them to overlook smaller, targeted attacks. HHS only requires healthcare facilities to notify the agency within 60 days of detecting a breach of protected health information that affects 500-plus patients.
"Better-staffed organizations, in concert with more advanced technologies, will likely find more issues and produce a greater quantity of breach disclosures," the Vanderbilt researchers wrote in the letter. "Moreover, the HHS data are biased because larger organizations inherently have a greater chance of reaching the 500 patient threshold than their smaller counterparts, and have more employees at risk for attacks."
In response, Dr. Bai and her colleagues acknowledged the HHS threshold of 500 patients increases the likelihood of identifying data breaches in large hospitals — a limitation they had also noted in their initial research. However, they also highlighted large hospitals might prove an appealing target to cybercriminals because they possess "a significant amount of protected health information. "Combined with teaching hospitals' needs for broad data access, this creates significant targets for cybercriminals compared with smaller institutions that might be the main reason for their relatively high risk of data breaches," Dr. Bai and her colleagues wrote.

I'm writing a script in which I need to parse firewall's log, but as I only have access to iptables, it's the only one that I have added so far.
So if you have access to, or know the format, CISCO, Juniper, Checkpoint, etc firewalls, can you paste here an entry of the logs? Basically I'm interested in the syntax of source IPs, but if you paste the full entry would be better.
just got this log right here: "domain-udp"58153"Host_one of our public add"Host_8.8.8.8"
In that log, that would be Host_10.56.2.157:49257 to 10.159.60.49:3000
Yes, but is that the sum total of your use case? Log scrapping en masse doesn't get you much without real intelligence built into it and we have been through that numerous times in *NIX and even Windows over the years where we go through this exercise only to have the human who must manually react to things that have already happened eventually stop reacting to it or not react to it in a timely manner w/o some sort of escalating intelligence built in which means that you are back to a SIEM like application (or even an IDS) and thus recreating a wheel better served by actual programming vs scripting.
Stated another way, if you are good enough to script everything required then your time would be much better served by building(programming) a better application...unless you have a particular use case that scripting somehow works better for than the many solutions to log collating, analysis and escalation that already exist for free. Try not to be offended or defensive by any of that, it is genuine interest in what you are doing and why.
You are saying that I conjectured but in fact I asked first and you responded obliquely. It would have just been better to say "None of your bloody business" or "I can't get into it." vs replying as if you were doing that same thing 1000's of sysadmins have done over the years that eventually falls on deaf ears.
Meh....because if you doing any of that which I was forced to conjecture on so as to make a point then you are just recreating a wheel that already exists. Thus, without a spectacular use case...I would say your intelligence would be much better spent elsewhere but it's your time to waste.

steal intellectual property, and were increasingly hitting the manufacturing sector as well as small businesses, which were the target of 31 percent of these attacks.
Small businesses are apparently attractive targets themselves and a way in to ultimately reach larger companies via “watering hole” techniques, Symantec said, citing a threefold rise in the number of attacks on these size businesses compared to 2011.
It said that while small businesses could feel they were immune to targeted attacks, cybercriminals were enticed by these organisations’ bank account information, customer data and intellectual property. Attackers hone in on small businesses that may often lack adequate security practices and infrastructure, the company said.
Web-based attacks increased by 30 percent in 2012, which Symantec said originated from the compromised websites of small businesses.
It pointed out that these websites were used in massive cyber-attacks as well as “watering hole” attacks. In a watering hole attack, the attacker compromises a website, such as a blog or small business website, which is known to be frequently visited by the victim of interest. When the victim later visits the compromised website, a targeted attack payload is silently installed on their computer.
Shifting from governments, manufacturing moved to the top of the list of industries targeted for attacks in 2012. Symantec said this was because cybercriminals were attacking the supply chain as a result of finding contractors and subcontractors susceptible to attacks and often in possession of valuable intellectual property.
Often by going after manufacturing companies in the supply chain, attackers gain access to sensitive information of a larger company, the company pointed out.
On the consumer front mobiles seemed to be the worst hit, with malware increasing by 58 percent. Around a third of all mobile threats attempted to steal information, such as e-mail addresses and phone numbers.
Apple’s iOS had the most documented vulnerabilities, it only had one threat discovered during the same period and Android, by contrast, had fewer vulnerabilities but more threats than any other mobile operating system.
Webwise 61 percent of malicious websites were found to be legitimate websites that had been compromised and infected with malicious code. Business, technology and shopping websites were among the top five types of websites hosting infections.
A growing source of infections on websites was malvertisements – when criminals buy advertising space on legitimate websites and use it to hide their attack code.

Company issued laptop encrypted with McAfee Enpoint Encryption V5.2 and story like others , I'd like to get my data back.
I am working with my IT Dept. but I think this is first for them (for me too).
One day when trying to power up my laptop I get " the following file is missing windows/system32/windows/config ".
To make long story short , stupid me I ran "fixboot" on the machine.
The IT guy tells me that he removed the encryption but sees 160GB HD with no data on it.
BTW to make it clear we are working with 2 clones here , original drive has NOT been touched.
One drive has IT one drive I have at home.
nope - your partition recovery tool found the FAT32 records for the pre-boot file system. Unfortunately, it's not stored as a real partition, so all it will be able to do is recover the root folder structure - none of the files will work or be recoverable. It's messed things up even more so discard this - it's worthless and no help whatsoever.
You need to give your IT team a full binary image of your whole drive, not a partition image (or the real drive) and they need to do either an eboot or a decryption. Tinkering will get you nowhere.
I have used EaseUs Disk Copy ,2.3.1 and the company states that their software creates sector by sector 100% identical clone of the original HD.
This is what I gave to my IT Dept along with my laptop.

(Bloomberg) -- The Central Intelligence Agency’s hackers have developed tools letting them break into devices from iPhones and Android phones to Samsung “smart” televisions to monitor conversations and messages, according to WikiLeaks.
WikiLeaks, which specializes in disclosing government secrets, posted 8,761 documents and files Tuesday that it said came from the CIA’s Center for Cyber Intelligence.
The trove, if legitimate, discloses malware, viruses, security vulnerabilities known as “zero days” and several hundred million lines of code used by the Central Intelligence Agency. It also reveals that the agency has the ability to break into devices and intercept messages before they can be encrypted by applications such as Facebook Inc.’s WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram and Confide.
“At first glance it is probably legit or contains a lot of legitimate stuff, which means somebody managed to extract a lot of data from a classified CIA system and is willing to let the world know that,” Nicholas Weaver, a senior researcher at the International Computer Science Institute at the University of California at Berkeley, said in an email.
CIA spokesman Jonathan Liu said in an email, “We do not comment on the authenticity or content of purported intelligence documents.”
Hard to Replace
The types of hacking capabilities purportedly disclosed by WikiLeaks aren’t easily replaced once they are disclosed and targets can develop defenses against them, according to a former National Security Agency cyber engineer, who asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the information. The alleged leaks are a reminder of how important, yet difficult, data protection is for intelligence agencies, added the former official, who said there appears to be a crisis in operational security over maintaining confidentiality.
WikiLeaks boasted Tuesday that its CIA leak “eclipses” the number of pages in Edward Snowden’s 2013 disclosures of National Security Agency programs.
"It could be potentially more dangerous than Snowden," said Bob Stasio, a fellow at the Truman National Security Project. “The Snowden leaks were damaging but were never linked to an actual threat of life that we know of. If this leak turns out to be genuine, the lives of people who have worked with the CIA could be at risk."
Last year, WikiLeaks posted thousands of stolen emails to and from Democrat Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign chairman. WikiLeaks has denied that it obtained the Clinton emails from Russia, which U.S. intelligence agencies have said was responsible for hacking during last year’s campaign to hurt Clinton and, ultimately, help Donald Trump win the White House.
In an analysis it released Tuesday, WikiLeaks said the CIA’s Remote Devices Branch has a group called UMBRAGE, which maintains a “substantial library” of attack methods from malware produced in other countries, including Russia.
WikiLeaks said the CIA documents showed the agency is able to defeat encryption on popular applications such as WhatsApp by simply hacking into the devices “that they run on and collecting audio and message traffic before encryption is applied,” WikiLeaks said.
WhatsApp has 1.2 billion monthly users, while Telegram has more than 100 million. Signal was the 32nd most popular app on Google’s Play app as of Monday, according to App Annie, which tracks app data. Telegram was 37th and WhatsApp was second.
Islamic State
Activists, journalists and others often turn to such outlets for secure communications, while terrorist groups such as Islamic State have used Telegram to go undetected. U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies have said that they need new powers to break into encrypted applications and devices.
WikiLeaks said the material it disclosed “appears to have been circulated among former U.S. government hackers and contractors in an unauthorized manner, one of whom has provided WikiLeaks with portions of the archive.”
While the material may reveal sensitive CIA techniques, it doesn’t list “executables or exploits” -- details on actual attacks that have been carried out and the targets -- according to Weaver, who was beginning to analyze the documents.
Google’s Android runs more than 85 percent of the world’s smartphones, while Apple’s iOS runs 13 percent, according to research firm IDC. Spokeswomen for Google and Apple Inc. didn’t immediately respond to emails seeking comment about the WikiLeaks disclosures. Facebook declined to comment.
The CIA also “runs a very substantial effort to infect and control” Microsoft Windows users with its malware, including infecting removable media such as USB drives, WikiLeaks said. The Windows operating system runs more than 90 percent of desktop computers, according to Net Applications.
A Microsoft representative said in an email: “We’re aware of the report and are looking into it.” ‘Weeping Angel’
In a tactic dubbed “Weeping Angel” in the documents, hackers attack Samsung smart TVs, “transforming them into covert microphones,” according to WikiLeaks. The agency uses the U.S. consulate in Frankfurt as a “covert base for its hackers” covering Europe, Middle East and Africa, according to WikiLeaks.
Samsung didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
WikiLeaks said it redacted and removed some identifying information in the content, including tens of thousands of “CIA targets and attack machines’’ in Latin America, Europe, and the U.S. The group said it has withheld releasing “armed” cyberweapons until “a consensus emerges on the technical and political nature of the CIA’s program and how such ‘weapons’ should analyzed, disarmed and published.”
The leaked documents show that the government has “deliberately maintained vulnerabilities in the most common devices used by hundreds of millions of people,” Ben Wizner, director of the ACLU Speech, Privacy and Technology Project, said in a statement. “Those vulnerabilities will be exploited not just by our security agencies, but by hackers and governments around the world.”
He said helping companies patch “security holes immediately, not stockpiling them, is the best way to make everyone’s digital life safer.”

CEOs perceived cybersecurity as the global economic or social trend most likely to affect their organizations in the near future, according to Mercer's "2018 Global Talent Trends" report. With this concern lies a mandate for HR professionals everywhere: If you are not regularly engaging your workforce in its responsibility for cybersecurity, you are doing your organization a disservice.
While nation-states may seem the scariest kind of attack, let's look at the cyber breaches that are closer to your control. Your organization may be more likely to be hacked through inadvertent actions by your own workers -- a threat that can be avoided with cybersecurity education and yearly reminders.
The Ponemon Institute reported that 25% of breaches are inadvertent, such as when an employee opens an infected file or email on the desktop or on his or her cellphone. With the plethora of mobile devices exposed to the corporate network while at work or outside the office, the gateway for destructive code is magnified. Ensuring that all workers with network access of any sort understand what phishing and spoofing look like is critical.
Monitoring employee sentiment
Much is made of employee engagement and sentiment, but monitoring it for cyber concerns can be overlooked by HR. A finger on the pulse of both employee and contractor sentiment can avert disaster and is increasingly considered a major step in risk management. Software that monitors mood, emotions and opinions through written text analysis -- sometimes using AI -- can forewarn behavior that could lead to a compliance, regulatory or security risk. Sentiment monitoring tools, such as Wootric or KeenCorp, are often used to gauge sentiment to determine employee engagement, but can also be applied to risk management.
In addition, some corporations today successfully use computer monitoring software to scan email and social media posts to flag disgruntled employees or aberrant behavior, such as file downloads at odd hours or excessive downloads of corporate information. Interguard, for example, provides monitoring capabilities that can record, report and alert on unusual online activities.
Cybersecurity training tips for HR
Begin at onboarding -- cybersecurity education should be part of all new employee orientation.
Ensure all employees know that neither valid financial institution nor one's own company will ever ask them to submit private information via email.
Emphasize to all employees that they should never open suspicious emails, even if the message has gotten through your corporate IT spam filters. They should not click links in untrusted email or emails from someone or a company they do not know. Such links often take them to a bogus login page, and in logging in, they are surrendering their information. This can be an example of phishing, which is an attempt to fraudulently acquire sensitive information by masquerading as a trusted contact.
Instruct employees to only access the sites they want to go to outside your internet at its www address, never through any links sent within emails or IMs.
Run an internal test -- work with IT to create an "internal" phishing letter, alert employees after training them, and see how many fail to recognize a fraudulent request to update a password or some other seemingly legitimate request. You will be surprised.
Urge employees to slow down a bit in opening up emails and text messages to see who they really come from and to ensure that they do not open attached files. Sometimes the need for haste inflicted on workers leads to carelessness. Yearly reminders of the cost to the company from negligence or ignorance can spur better diligence.
Spoofing is a forged email header so that the message appears to have originated from someone or somewhere other than the actual source -- perhaps from your own corporation, or your own HR group. It is tricky because people are more likely to open an email when they think it has been sent by a legitimate source. Educate employees to look at the actual URL addresses behind the "from" to see who the sender may actually be. A good place to start is with examples of phishing emails and looking at the actual sender.
Curbing purposeful cyber malfeasance
The training tips above can alleviate inadvertent lapses in security, but there are two other insider types whose behavior can lead to breaches: rogues and actual malicious insiders. Rogues are renegade employees who are likely to be more technically savvy than others and feel that they understand the issues, but choose to ignore them. They may be the ones who really want a different browser or app at work that they use at home, and know how to get it -- so they do. They generally did not mean to cause harm and educating them as to why the rules apply to everyone can help quell rogue behavior.
Malicious internal hacktivists are a more serious issue. They may think there is monetary gain to their behavior, like a ransom, or they may hold a grudge against the firm or some of its members. Sabotage and espionage are also drivers of untoward cyber conduct.
There are four points that pertain to malicious insider attacks:
They are most likely triggered by a negative work-related event.
Most perpetrators had acted out at work previously.
They planned their activities in advance.
On average, it takes 50 days to resolve a malicious insider attack and costs and time to recover are both increasing.
Annual compliance training on cybersecurity should be a requirement; employees need reminders and new employees are always entering the organization. There are several areas of coverage on which to focus, starting with maintaining the security of the employee's office workspace. We all know the danger of passwords on sticky notes, but check around your organization to see how many passwords are exposed in plain sight or in unlocked desk drawers. A laptop screen left open in a vacant office can prove an invitation for rogue access.
One of my favorite stories on that front is from a cyber manager in the Netherlands. When she saw a laptop open and abandoned, she walked into the office and sent everyone an email from the laptop saying, "I will bring in cupcakes for everyone tomorrow." After a few times, employees who had to go home and bake cupcakes were much more careful with their office security.
Cybersecurity education should also extend to travel, such as securing laptops and mobile phones when working on a plane and checking for devices let in airline pockets, seats or hotel rooms. Managing data or email in crowded planes or airline lounges is another issue where awareness is needed.
Foremost, it is imperative that the organization foster a culture in which it is safe to raise concerns when employees see or suspect something is amiss that can impact corporate security. Cybersecurity in the workplace is everyone's responsibility; create a plan to ensure your employees are prepared to keep your business safe.

Before we continue our quest to getting the best of both words, let me say 1 thing. You will need to back up all files that are important. When error will occur, you don't know. You may format the wrong partition and shed everything. Basically what you want to do is make a DVD or CD,e depending on how much data you have that you don't want to lose if something goes wrong, you could even look for an external hard drive if you've got that much. Again you do not need to deal with losing everything. Granted, if you follow things guide, That should not happen.
In effect, once Burnbit"burns" a file, it treats the server as the first seed of a torrent. Everyone can load the .torrent file and not only will they be downloading the HTML-served file, but anybody using the Burnbit .torrent document will be able to share with one another.
Certainly, there are reasons folk treat their cars. They want it also stay trustworthy and survive for years. That shiny exterior malware wordpress will not stay greatlooking if it's got to sit out in the weather. You could finish up with paint or rust. There's a reason garages were devised. A time without garage door repairs can create dearer issues. A scary thought is a vandal visiting with your car, while it was parked outside. Someone could scratch on it, which makes read this article it look terrible.
From the distribution that is hacked website, there's MintInstall. This is where this hacked website process gets it right and seems to have almost made it simple . There are a few different features about MintInstall that makes it valuable.
A single extremely frequent approach that these programs use is a pop-up ad that statements to have observed privacy risks to your laptop or computer. If you click on the pop up you will be directed to a web-page that will display an anti-malware scanner. When the scan finishes, it will exhibit exaggerated or bogus final results, the goal of which is to scare you into setting up the program. These exaggerated outcomes will indicate 1000's of threats a lot of which are marked severe. The reality is there are no infections and you require to get rid of this malware rapidly.
(2) fix my website Windows: You must keep up with the broken i loved this windows, steps, railings or another hazards. Any appliances that you leave in your house should be properly repaired since it can benefit the appraiser paying the best value for your home.
At the time of writing there are literally hundreds of Linux Distributions available from hundreds of different companies all offering their own "flavour" of Linux. Since there's absolutely nobody company in charge of Linux development distributions can fork off and take their leadership, where Smoothwall is a firewall, for example Slackware is aimed at the Linux specialist. Chances are there's a distribution which fits your personal criteria.
There are. Not all of try these out these are effective. And this is the reason why before you make a purchase you will need to be careful. There are a few, which can remove malware from your system but will not prevent viruses from penetrating your computer. You must have something, which prevent intrusions and can save your computer from the malware that is already there.

The cyber-underground menu of criminal services now includes on-demand, human-assisted CAPTCHA-breaking functionality, researchers are warning — meaning that website admins should look to implement additional anti-bot protections as a result.
CAPTCHAs are familiar to most Internet users as challenges that are used to confirm that they’re human. The Turing test-adjacent puzzles usually involve typing in a word presented visually as blurred or distorted text, for instance, or clicking all photos in a grid that contain a certain object. The idea is to weed out bots on e-commerce and online account sites.
However, there has been a bit of a space race when it comes to CAPTCHA efficacy; tougher puzzles like those that present twisty letters or numbers to interpret can now be defeated by machine learning, for instance. That has sparked the rise of more advanced CAPTCHA challenges, such as rotating an askew object to be in its correct position, according to a recent Trend Micro analysis. However, cybercrooks now have options to get around these too.
"Online service operators face a slew of different challenges when automated Web traffic defeats CAPTCHAs not by using bots, but by using human CAPTCHA solvers," explained researchers at Trend Micro. "Several services that are primarily geared toward this market demand have been created."
To use a CAPTCHA-solving service, bot operators can create automated attack scripts that automatically capture the CAPTCHA when presented, sending it in real time via an integrated API call to the service provider, according to Trend Micro. The CAPTCHA-breaking service taps a human solver to work out the solution, and sends the answer back to the automated script a few seconds later to be input into the answer field on the targeted website.
The researchers noted that such services are seeing uptake; for instance, a recent real-world attack was observed on the Poshmark social commerce marketplace for buying and selling used fashion, home, and electronics items.
"Our observations show that there are numerous CAPTCHA-solving task requests to a known CAPTCHA-breaking service that are targeting CAPTCHAs from Poshmark's website," according to Trend Micro. "From the data we've gathered, these CAPTCHA-solving requests originated from a known Poshmark bot."

Employers should be aware of what to do to prevent employee identity theft as well as what to do if accused of identity theft.
It is not just consumers who have to worry about identity theft in the state of South Carolina, but employers as well. Companies should be sure they are well aware of steps they can and should take to protect their employees' identities as well as how they should respond should a data breach occur.
In the event of an identity theft or another data breach, both employers and employees should know whom to contact. For instance, credit reporting agencies, financial institutions and law enforcement should all be alerted. Depending on the breach, it might also be necessary to call in computer forensic experts to determine exactly what happened and what needs to happen next. The information such experts provide can be essential for knowing what to do next and preventing a future breach.
It is possible you might become an unwilling participant in an identity theft case in South Carolina, despite the above suggested measures. Should you ever be accused by an employee or even your customers or clients, be sure to reach out to an attorney to explore your legal options.

So an A would be replaced by D, B with E and so on. This course requires a properly maintained computer with high-speed internet access and an up-to-date web browser (such as Chrome or Firefox). Most of the math in the course was more logic-based like it is in discrete math. Unfortunately for me, too many people on Twitter are shitposting bullshit and honestly said I don't want to find bullshits related to politics or other people fucks on Twitter. I know I'm a bit late to this party, but can you send it to me too? As others are saying, definitely number theory and discrete math.
Simon Singh speaking at the IMECT conference in July Plus met Simon Singh to talk about the science of secrecy in the art deco monolith of Senate House , part of the University of London... an appropriate meeting place, since Senate House is thought to be the inspiration behind the "Ministry of Truth" in George Orwell's 1984! This method has been widely used to ensure security and secrecy in electronic communication and particularly where financial transactions are involved. Some superstars in the field of cryptography are Bruce Schneier, Clifford Cocks, and Phil Zimmermann. How long was this unit? Some devices needing encryption such as cell phones do not have the same processing capability of a PC.

Continue reading >, Applications of Number Theory in Cryptography Science and Its Times: Understanding the Social Significance of Scientific Discovery Applications of Number Theory in Cryptography is a division of applied mathematics concerned with developing schemes and formulas to enhance the privacy of communications through the use of codes. And we don't compromise your privacy.
The method depends on the fact that while it is easy to calculate the product of two large prime numbers (particularly with the help of a computer) it is, for all practical purposes, impossible to find the factors of a large number if it has only very large prime factors. These keys are in fact large numbers that get created using different mathematical algorithms, and then are passed through to determine if the communications are legit.
This lesson will require two class sessions (50-60 minutes each) for completion, and the only prerequisite is a 9th grade level of mathematics knowledge.

The Bangladesh central bank had no firewall and was using a second-hand £6 network switch when it was hacked earlier this year. Investigation by British defence contractor BAE Systems has also shown that the SWIFT software used to make payments was compromised, enabling the hackers to send money around the world without leaving any trace in Bangladesh.
In February, unknown hackers broke into the Bangladesh Bank and almost got away with about £700 million. In the event, their fraudulent transactions were cancelled after they managed to transfer $81 million (£56 million) when a typo raised concerns about one of the transactions. That money is still unrecovered, but BAE has published some of its findings.
The SWIFT organization is owned by 3,000 financial companies and operates a network for sending financial transactions between financial institutions. Institutions using the network must have existing banking relationships; SWIFT transactions do not actually send money but instead send payment orders that must then be settled by having the institutions involved moving money between accounts.

15. Legal basis for the processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the is necessary for the performance of a contract to which party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the may be necessary to protect the vital interests or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned .

In conclusion, Dr. Forno emphasised that cybersecurity is both an art and a science. Addressing the human factor requires a holistic approach that combines technical expertise with a deep understanding of human behaviour. He urged educators to foster the hacker mindset and encouraged students to think broadly about technology and its risks.
In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, Dr. Forno's insights remind us that to secure our digital future, we must first understand the complex interplay between technology and the human condition. Cybersecurity is not merely a matter of code and algorithms; it is a reflection of how we, as individuals and as a society, interact with the digital world.

We have good news and some bad news. The good news is that right now, it seems that xHelper just gives you annoying pop-up spam and notifications. It’s goal? To get you to install more applications, and likely these applications could come with additional threats.
It is also suspected that xHelper can download and install apps on its own. It hasn’t been officially detected doing this in the wild yet, but if it could do that, then you would essentially lose control over your device.
The malware seems to get installed from scammy websites. The app isn’t found on the Google Play Store (at least at the time of writing this). Only install apps from the Google Play Store, and never from any other website. Google has a vetting process that keeps most apps on the Google Play Store relatively safe (it’s not a perfect system, but it does weed out most of the danger).
When it comes to cybersecurity, the best place to get started is being aware of the threats and employing safe habits. That, and ensuring that your business data is thoroughly protected. Don’t wait for a problem to happen, give Global Tech Solutions a call at (800) 484-0195 today.

Melbourne, Australia and BOSTON (August 25, 2020) – BackupAssist®, a leading provider of automated backup and recovery software for small and medium enterprises (SMEs), today announced the general availability (GA) launch of BackupAssist ER™ – fully automated, disk to disk to cloud backup for Windows Servers. With the ever-present threats of hacking and ransomware, the ability to quickly recover from an attack is an essential capability that all SMEs must have. The new software provides Express Recovery options that enable its users to achieve fast, predictable recoveries of data and systems, and to perform recoveries both locally and in the cloud. With an SME-friendly price point, BackupAssist ER, provides a compelling alternative to the far more expensive disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS) options.
“We’ve known for some time that legacy backup systems are becoming less effective each day, as cyber-attacks increase in sophistication and target backup data in addition to primary data,” said Linus Chang, Founder and CEO, BackupAssist. “To compound problems, the COVID-19 pandemic has meant that traditional backup procedures, such as swapping hard disks, are difficult or impossible during a lockdown.”
BackupAssist ER helps SMEs adequately prepare for disaster scenarios by providing “unattended resilience.” By always having a local onsite copy and a cloud offsite copy of backup data, businesses can survive and recover from cyber events, with resilience against destruction to on-premise infrastructure.
“BackupAssist ER provides the balance of cyber-resilience and affordability that many SMEs need. It’s easy to be resilient if you have an unlimited budget but in the real world, you have to pick your priorities. BackupAssist ER, provides automatic geo-redundancy of backup data and CryptoSafeGuard features to shield the backups from ransomware. Engineering choices like enabling users to choose inexpensive cloud storage or even back up to their own private storage keep costs low. Overall, BackupAssist ER meets the needs of a lot of SMEs at a fraction of the cost of many DRaaS solutions – and without the vendor lock-in,” said Stuart Bryan, President of I-M Technology. “Solutions like BackupAssist ER can provide the robust resilience required in 2020 and beyond.”
BackupAssist ER installs on Windows Servers, to perform disk to disk to cloud backups, and is bare metal capable across both. It provides three disaster recovery/business continuity methods, including virtual machine (VM) Instant Boot, Bare Metal Recovery (BMR) and Download Cloud Backup to Anywhere. It also includes three data recovery methods: granular files – to any point in time, granular exchange – to any point in time, and granular applications – to any point in time. All of this, at a cost that is as much as 75% cheaper than competing solutions.
“BackupAssist has a long and rich history in this space, and we’re proud to deliver our latest backup software in BackupAssist ER. We continue to engineer and deliver solutions that meet real-world IT, business and budgetary requirements. Our partners and end customers spoke, and we heard – they wanted automatic offsite backups with history and retention, fast local recoveries, and the option to recover in the cloud when needed – all at a price an SMB could afford,” said Chang. “With BackupAssist ER, all backups are recoverable from any machine and can be used for both full system recoveries and granular recoveries. The backups will always be there for you as its built-in CryptoSafeGuard feature shields your backups directly from potential malware attack, while also preventing them from being polluted with corrupted data.” He continued, “BackupAssist ER protects your organization and its data, and provides a clear path to a predictable, successful recovery.”

Network security monitoring is a critical component of any organization’s IT security program. It is an ongoing process of identifying, tracking, and responding to security threats to an organization’s network. It involves monitoring the activity of computers, networks, and applications on the organization’s networks, as well as the activity of users, systems, and applications that access the organization’s networks.
Effective network security monitoring is essential in today’s digital world, as organizations are increasingly relying on networks to store and process sensitive information. Without proper network security monitoring, organizations are at risk of data breaches, malicious attacks, and other security incidents.
One of the keys to implementing an effective network security monitoring program is to have a comprehensive understanding of the organization’s network. This includes understanding the network architecture, the types of devices and applications used, and the types of data stored. Knowing the network architecture is essential for properly configuring the monitoring system and for understanding the network traffic patterns. It is also important to have an understanding of the types of data stored on the network, as this can help the organization identify potential threats and ensure that the monitoring system is properly configured to detect them.
Another key element to implementing an effective network security monitoring program is having the right tools. There are a variety of tools available that can be used to monitor networks, including network analyzers, intrusion detection systems, and firewalls. Organizations should choose the tools that best fit their needs and make sure that they are properly configured and kept up-to-date.
Organizations should also have a plan in place for responding to any security incidents that are detected. This should include procedures for alerting the appropriate staff and for taking the necessary steps to address the incident. It is important to have a plan for regular security audits and reviews, as this can help identify any potential vulnerabilities and ensure that the organization’s networks are properly protected.
Finally, organizations should ensure that they have a security policy in place that outlines the guidelines for network security monitoring. This policy should include clear definitions of what is monitored, what is considered a security incident, and how the organization will respond to any security incidents that are detected. Having a policy in place will ensure that everyone in the organization is aware of their responsibilities in regards to network security monitoring.
Implementing an effective network security monitoring program is essential for any organization. By taking the time to understand the organization’s network, selecting the right tools, and having a plan in place for responding to security incidents, organizations can ensure that their networks are properly monitored and secured.

In an increasingly digital world, the security of sensitive data has become a paramount concern for individuals and organizations alike. Data breaches, where unauthorized access to personal information occurs, can have far-reaching consequences, from financial losses to reputational damage. To address this threat, governments around the world have enacted data breach notification laws as a means to promote cybersecurity compliance and protect both consumers and businesses.
Understanding Data Breach Notification Laws: Data breach notification laws require organizations to notify affected individuals and relevant authorities when a breach compromises personal or sensitive information. These laws often outline the specific criteria triggering notification, the timeframe within which notifications must occur, and the information that must be provided to affected parties.
Key Components of Data Breach Notification Laws:
Scope and Definitions: Laws typically define what constitutes personal information and the types of breaches that require notification. This ensures that both the breach and the data compromised align with the legal criteria.
Timelines: Breach notification laws set specific timeframes within which organizations must inform affected individuals and regulatory bodies about the breach. Prompt notification is crucial to minimize potential harm and demonstrate transparency.
Contents of Notification: Laws specify the information that must be included in breach notifications, such as the nature of the breach, the types of data exposed, potential consequences, and steps individuals can take to protect themselves.
Regulatory Reporting: In some cases, breach notification laws require organizations to report breaches to relevant regulatory agencies. This helps authorities monitor cybersecurity incidents and trends.
Promoting Cybersecurity Compliance: Data breach notification laws play a pivotal role in incentivizing organizations to prioritize cybersecurity. Knowing that they must disclose breaches to the public and potentially face legal consequences for non-compliance, businesses are more inclined to implement robust security measures and prevention strategies.
Challenges and Considerations: Despite their benefits, these laws present challenges. Organizations that operate across jurisdictions must navigate a complex landscape of varying notification requirements. Additionally, the rapid evolution of technology and cyber threats can render existing laws outdated or inadequate.
Best Practices for Compliance:
Proactive Security Measures: Implement strong cybersecurity protocols, including encryption, regular software updates, and employee training to prevent breaches.
Incident Response Plans: Develop clear and comprehensive breach response plans that outline the steps to take in the event of a breach, including internal investigation, containment, and communication procedures.
Collaboration: Engage legal, IT, and communication teams to ensure a coordinated response that adheres to legal requirements and effectively addresses potential reputational damage.
Continuous Monitoring: Regularly assess and update security measures to adapt to evolving cyber threats and changing legal requirements.
In conclusion, data breach notification laws serve as a crucial tool in enhancing cybersecurity compliance. These laws encourage organizations to adopt proactive security measures, prioritize incident response planning, and maintain a culture of vigilance regarding data protection. By adhering to these laws and implementing best practices, organizations can navigate the complex realm of cybersecurity while safeguarding both their interests and the privacy of their customers.

Constant developments within the cyber industry have resulted in old systems becoming more vulnerable to advances, and the inability to accurately identify threats means we are just waiting for disaster to strike. New technology is being implemented quicker than it can be secured, and many systems are just an open invitation to malicious attacks. A perfect example of this is the speed at which IoT has expanded. In practise IoT will help individuals in organisations make better decisions based on real-time data. However, if the data fed is wrong or skewed in some way, the outcomes can be drastically different.
There is a magnitude of laws and regulations which are limited and inconsistent; this means that there is a gap within the framework through which exploitation can occur. Regarding airports, this means that sensitive material is available to manipulate. Moreover, there is limited interconnectivity between systems which allows for threats to go undetected for months.
Furthermore, this perfect storm of cyber-security comes from an array of unpredictable entities. In International Airport Review’s recent webinar, Mark Weatherford, Global Information Security Strategist at Booking Holdings, said: “The unfortunate thing is a lot hasn’t changed in the past decade or so”, resulting in a range of problems in the industry. He highlighted “the supply chain ecosystem has become significantly more complicated and complex over the past decade, and we’ve become incredibly dependent on cyber-security as part of that supply chain ecosystem”.
The physical and digital worlds are becoming increasingly blurred and supply chains must now focus on effectively converging.
Security convergence
Security convergence refers to the convergence of two historically distinct security functions – physical security and information security – within enterprises. Both are integral parts of any coherent risk management plan.
It is important because control systems, physical security and IT security are now converging on an incredibly regular basis. Where we previously saw silos in companies, many are now merging and integrating these systems. This means that the system efficiency has increased incredibly, but at what cost?
Security convergence has become a critical factor in airport cyber-security and risk management. Technology is driving convergence, but as the rate of progression within the security industry continues exponentially, each of these new technologies is not an isolated procedure.
For many organisations, increasing their security means changing their cultural concerns around it.
The perception that physical security personnel are more blue collar, while the IT security industry is considered more white collar is one that needs to be overcome. This creates a divide within the workforce which has the potential to become the biggest threat to a security system. There is a need to bridge the gap between physical and IT security and look upon it as one entity.
Airports are taking action to reduce the rate of insider offending. A focus on the employee to make sure that they are content within their role, and that their wellbeing is a priority to the airport, is integral.
In the webinar, Chris Cole at San Antonio Airport highlighted the need to ensure that new employees are the right fit for the role. This comes from extensive background checks to make sure that these people will not pose a threat to the integrity of the airport later.
Cole said: “Background checks are effective to a certain extent. I think there are certain signs that a background check can tell us, like theft for instance. We can then say that this person will not be working with a till, and that is something we must be mindful of. However, I think you should look at it a little bit more like a collusion type of activity. At San Antonio Airport we’re looking at technology that doesn’t give us a disqualifier for an individual but raises the question as to the level of access we are prepared to give them. I think background checks are good, but I do believe we could do better.”
This cultural change does not just apply to how security services at the airport are received but stretches across how employees are managed. Frank discussions about mental health and wellbeing are crucial to employee satisfaction which in turn can limit and potentially mitigate the insider threat.
Insider threat
The webinar informed us that 46 per cent of the most costly cyber-crimes were conducted by an insider. This emphasises just how important it is to detect, mitigate and prevent insider attacks.
The size of an airport poses the first problem when considering how an insider can carry out such an attack. So many people use airports, from passengers, to contract workers, construction workers, badged employees and airline workers. Additionally, airports have many access points meaning it is even easier to gain quick entry, and then leave again under the radar.
There are three kinds of insider threat: Comprised user, those who do not know they are compromised; careless users, those who leave computers or terminals unlocked or otherwise are careless with the security measures they take; and the malicious users, who usually have legitimate access to the system and wilfully take the data or information that is available to them.
Cole explained how San Antonio Airport has gone about implementing best practise across the airport to ensure that insider threats are not as crippling as they can be. The focus on background checks, random inspections and a constant investment in technology will help to detect abnormal behaviour. He said: “In most cases, airport operators don’t control the hiring process, or even the vetting of the employees. We do it to meet the TSA requirements, but we don’t do a lot of their vetting until the employee applies for a badge. So that makes it complicated for airports. Lots of badges, that’s the challenge, when you talk about an insider, anyone could pose an insider threat.”
Jupp Gill from AlertEnterprise also discussed how following the prevent, detect, mitigate model allows technology to assist in protection. He said: “The prevention starts with the onboarding process. We control access permissions before they are administered.”
Patterns of behaviour
When insider threats are considered, the thought process is often about detecting the threat rather than putting an initial stop to it. With the help of developed technologies, management can detect warning signs and act on them before a threat arises.
With the use of CCTV, normative behavioural patterns of staff can be witnessed and documented. This means that if, and when, there is a change to what is expected, airports have the time to stop a threat before it can materialise.
With the physical changes in someone’s behaviour, the digital footprint they leave can be just as telling. With badged employees there is a physical footprint and change which can be intercepted before a malicious attack is carried out.
When asked if there any regulations in place in the U.S. to reduce cyber-security threats at airports, Cole answered: “From the airport side, the TSA has issued information guidance that can be forwarded onto the IT department working for the security side of airport operations, but this is more of a best practise type guidance than strict regulations. When I attended a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) event it was evident that cyber-security is vital to our homeland security. San Antonio Airport is working with the wider community to ensure that if an attack occurs, we know how to respond.”
Moving forward
Digital transformation within airports has produced major advancements in productivity, efficiency and customer experience. But it is clear that the transformation has also opened up new blended cyber-physical risks that could bring airport operations to their knees. With the help of advanced technologies to detect threats, the convergence of systems which remove silos from companies and the change in the cultural practises within organisations, companies can boast a secure cyber-environment. Additionally, a focus on the employee, both professionally and in terms of wellbeing, can ensure that the insider threat is caught before it makes the airport vulnerable. From patterns of behaviour, to digital footprints, airports can protect themselves against the threat from within.
To elaborate further on these topics, International Airport Review’s forthcoming Airport IT & Security Conference will delve deeper into the insider threat, the threat posed by drones, and the use of VR, AR and data-sharing. Find out more here.

.HOW ransomware is file-encrypting malware that belongs to the notorious Dharma ransomware family. It gets in using the usual malware distribution methods, and once inside, it will scan for and encrypt certain files and add the .HOW file extension to them. Once files are encrypted, users will be unable to open them until they decrypt them. They will be offered to buy a decryption tool from the operators of this ransomware, but that is not a good idea. While these crooks will reassure users that a decryptor will be sent to them once they make the requested payment, there are no guarantees that it will happen. Furthermore, by paying, users would be encouraging cyber crooks to continue their criminal business and putting a target on their backs again.
For users who have backup, they need to first remove .HOW ransomware before they access the backup files. Otherwise, they too may get encrypted. If backup is not an option, users should keep in mind that malware researchers are sometimes able to release free decryptors. It is possible that they will be able to recover files this way.
Having good browsing habits often allows users to avoid all kinds of malware infections. The following section of the report will explain how one can avoid installing malware by following a few simple rules.
Ransomware distribution methods
Ransomware is very often spread using spam email campaigns. Malicious files may come attached to spam emails, and once users download and open them, the malware could initiate. But fortunately, it’s quite easy to differentiate these kinds of emails. They are often sent from nonsense email addresses made up of random letters and numbers but claim to be official correspondence from known companies, banks, goverment agencies, etc. The first thing users should always check when they receive an unsolicited email is the sender’s email address. Even if it does look legitimate, users should always make sure it belongs to whoever the sender claims to be. Another sign of a malicious email is the grammar and spelling mistakes. If there are many of them and they are obvious, users are likely dealing with spam. Finally, even if everything checks out, users should still scan the attached file with anti-malware software or VirusTotal before opening it.
Users also often pick up ransomware by downloading pirated content via torrents. Those sites are full of malicious software, and it’s often disguised as episodes of popular TV shows, movies, games, software, etc. While downloading pirated content from torrents may seem harmless enough, it is essentially stealing. It’s also potentially dangerous for the computer because of the malware. If users insist on downloading torrents, they should at least make sure it’s safe to do so.
Being careful with unsolicited emails with attachments, avoiding downloading pirated content via torrents, and installing updates regularly can go a long way towards preventing a malware infection.
What does ransomware do?
As soon as the .HOW ransomware is initiated, it will start encrypting certain files. It mainly targets photos, videos, documents and similar files because those are the ones users would be willing to pay for the most. All encrypted files will be renamed to include the victims ID, [email protected], and the .how file extension. A ransom note will also be dropped and it will explain that files can be recovered if the victim is willing to pay a decryptor. Victims are asked to send an email to the provided email address with their IDs. The price for the decryptor is not included in the ransom note, but it will likely vary from $100 to $1000. Paying the ransom is not recommended because it does not guarantee file decryption. There’s little stopping these cyber crooks from simply taking the money and not sending victims anything.
If users do not have backup, we suggest they back up all encrypted files somewhere safe and wait for malware researchers to release a decryptor. If users do have backup for the encrypted files, they first need to remove .HOW ransomware before starting file recovery.
Download Removal Toolto scan for .HOW ransomwareTo scan for .HOW ransomware, use our recommended security tool. The trial version of WiperSoft detects infections like .HOW ransomware and can assist with their removal for free. You can delete detected files, registry entries and processes manually, or you can purchase the full version of the program for automatic removal.
You can find more information about WiperSoft on its official website, and find its uninstallation instructions here. Before installing, please familiarize yourself with WiperSoft EULA and Privacy Policy. WiperSoft will detect malware for free and gives Free trail to remove it.
WiperSoft is an anti-virus program with real-time threat detection and malware removal features. It detects all types of computer threats, from adware and browser hijackers to trojans, and easily removes them.
STEP 2 Use System Restore to uninstall .HOW ransomware
STEP 3 Can you restore files encrypted by .HOW ransomware
For .HOW ransomware removal, we have provided the following steps
STEP 1 .HOW ransomware removal using Safe Mode with Networking
For successful .HOW ransomware uninstallation, restarting your system in Safe Mode with Networking will be necessary. In case you’re not sure about how to proceed, you can follow the instructions provided below.
When the options become available in Startup Settings, select Enable Safe Mode with Networking.
Step 2: Using anti-malware software to remove .HOW ransomware
When the computer restarts, it will be in Safe Mode, and it’s different from the mode you usually use. When in Safe Mode, you will be able to delete .HOW ransomware. Unless anti-malware software is already installed on your computer, you will need to download and install it. To make sure you pick the correct software, do some research. Scan your system and uninstall .HOW ransomware with the anti-virus software.
It is possible that the ransomware will not let you use anti-malware software. In which case, you’ll have to try System Restore .HOW ransomware removal.
Then type rstrui.exe and press Enter.
When the System Restore window pops up, press Next, select the restore point dating back to before the infection and click Next to begin System Restore.
Press Yes in the warning window that pops up after you read what it says.
System restore should completely delete the malware. Nevertheless, just in case, it’s suggested to scan your computer with trustworthy anti-malware software.
ransomware
You may start thinking how you could restore files as soon as your computer is no longer infected. There are a few options for you to try to recover files locked by .HOW ransomware, if you haven’t backed up your files before the infection occurred. Unfortunately, the available options do not always result in successful file decryption. It’s still not a good idea to pay the ransom.
Data Recover Pro. But do take into account that Data Recovery Pro cannot decrypt files, it instead scans your hard drive for copies of them.
Use the official website to get Data Recovery Pro. Carry out a scan of your system once the software is installed. You can restore any files that come up.
Shadow Explorer. Shadow Explorer may be used to restore shadow copies of the files if they were not deleted by the ransomware.
After you use its official website to get it, install Shadow Explorer. In the launched application, select the disk in which files you want to restore are stored. You can Export any folders that come up. However, in many cases, in order to pressure users into paying the ransom, ransomware does delete the shadow copies.
Regularly backing up files would help prevent future file loss. And install trustworthy anti-virus software with ransomware protection. The anti-virus would prevent the ransomware from causing any hard, including file encryption.

Amid mounting concerns about cybersecurity due to today’s increased reliance on remote work, Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solutions provide an innovative approach to corporate security needs. Boston-based Timus Networks can help businesses achieve more efficient workflows by securely connecting employees, devices and applications wherever they are.
“Working remotely and using cloud applications has become the new normal in the post-pandemic era,” Chris Perry, Timus Networks Channel Sales Manager, says. “It’s worth noting, however, that this new way of working has given rise to novel cyber threats.” According to Perry, attack surfaces are becoming larger while the effectiveness of conventional VPN solutions is waning. “This is where the ZTNA concept comes in. It is based on the ‘never trust, always verify’ principle.”
ZTNA adds an extra layer of security to your network connections, thus ensuring that only trusted users and devices can gain access. During the verification process, key data is used – such as the device, connection time and location – along with standard controls such as usernames, passwords and single-use codes.
3 of 5 businesses will adopt ZTNA by 2023
According to Gartner, 60% of all companies will transition from VPN to ZTNA by the end of next year. Timus is a cloud-based platform that reduces reliance on expensive hardware-based cybersecurity technologies. It automates operations and allows enterprises to manage their network security settings through a single interface. Timus Intelligent Insight Engine, meanwhile, provides comprehensive access logs, threat analytics, and identity-based insights.
It’s no secret that decentralizing business processes has rendered traditional security methods much less effective. According to Perry, Timus lets businesses manage their networks easily and efficiently from virtually anywhere. Timus solutions feature cloud-based SASE architecture specifically designed to meet the network security needs of the 21st-century workplace. They also include cybersecurity components, such as Dynamic Firewall, AI-powered Secure Web Gateway, Malware Protection and Intrusion Prevention System.
SMEs are vulnerable to cyber threats
A growing number of US businesses, including SMEs, now face the threat of ransomware and phishing. Cyber-attackers typically target smaller businesses that fail to prioritize cybersecurity. According to Advisor Smith, nearly half of all small businesses (41.8%) suffered cyberattacks in 2021, while 30% of all SMEs lack adequate data security. Timus helps businesses manage their remote access processes, cloud connectivity and threat prevention from a single platform, effectively doing away with the need for hardware and software licenses. To put it simply, Timus helps businesses boost their immune security system.
“Built on the latest cloud and AI technologies, Timus provides a superior user experience than traditional hardware-based solutions. We aim to have the best business partner and service ecosystem for our customers.” Perry says.

The European Insolvency Regulation has a separate chapter on data protection of insolvency registers and data transferred when selling an insolvent company. The General Data Protection Regulation takes effect on 25 May 2018. How will it influence the EIR?
In June 2017 the European Insolvency Regulation (Recast) (‘EIR Recast’) entered into force. The EIR Recast is set in today’s mode of technology and data protection. Chapter VI on Data Protection (Articles 78 – 83) is, compared with the Insolvency Regulation of 2000 which has been replaced, entirely new. It is a logical consequence of the introduction of a system of interconnected insolvency registers, which will increase flows of information transcending national borders, and gathered and exchanged throughout the EU, often electronically. The recitals to the EIR Recast explain the principles which form the foundation for the rules on data protection. The Regulation respects the fundamental rights and observes the principles recognised in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, amongst others by promoting their provisions concerning the protection of personal data. Recital 84 adds: ‘Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council apply to data within the framework of this Regulation’.
The allocation in the EIR Recast of a separate chapter on data protection indicates the heightened importance of this topic at the EU level. In the cross-border insolvency context, this issue becomes particularly relevant when applied to information contained in insolvency registers and (standard) notifications and claim forms. This information often contains the name, postal address, e-mail address (if any) and personal identification number (if any) of a creditor, which may all constitute personal data. Furthermore, in insolvency practice information regarding debtors of the insolvent debtor or data of subscribers or clients of an insolvent debtor (for example a child day-care centre, a fitness centre or a list of clients from a shop or an employment agency) will frequently be transferred separately as part of the sale of an insolvent business. Insolvency, indeed, is rather privacy sensitive.
As the recital referred to above stated at the time of the adoption of the EIR Recast (20 May 2015), the major European instruments dealing with personal data apply: Directive 95/46/EC (‘Data Protection Directive’, DPD) and Regulation (EC) No. 45/2001. The former applies to data by a natural or a legal person, public authority, agency or any other body, while the latter has a narrower scope and applies to data by the Community institutions and bodies. Chapter VI of the EIR Recast refers to both of these instruments, while providing clarifications in light of the (cross-border) insolvency context. Three years after finalising the text, and close to a year after the coming into force of the EIR Recast, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679 will take effect as of 25 May 2018, repealing the Data Protection Directive on the same date. Unlike the latter Directive, which required transposition into national laws, the GDPR introduces a single set of mandatory rules and is directly applicable throughout the EU.
While Regulation (EC) No. 45/2001 remains in force, its application should be adapted to the principles and rules established in the GDPR and applied in light of it (Recital 17 GDPR).
Leaving aside the different, though somewhat overlapping, scope of the EIR Recast and the GDPR, in practice the responsibilities regarding data will be a topic of concern. The responsibilities related to data within the operation of the EIR Recast are divided between Member States and the European Commission (EC). Article 79(1) EIR Recast obliges Member States to communicate to the EC the name of the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or any other body designated by national law to exercise the functions of controller with a view to its publication on the European e-Justice Portal. For example, as of April 2018, national data controllers include the Federal Ministry of Justice in cooperation with the Federal Computing Centre (Austria), the Ministry of Justice (Estonia) and the Council for the Judiciary (the Netherlands). According to the definition given in Article 4 GDPR, a controller is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of data. Both the DPD and GDPR impose a primary obligation related to data processing on data controllers. Therefore, being able to ascertain a controller is important to ensure legal certainty and the lawful and fair within the EIR Recast framework.
In addition, Member States are required to adopt technical measures to ensure the security of personal data processed in their national insolvency registers (Article 79(2) EIR Recast). Such measures should protect against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage of personal data. Concrete ways to reach this goal are left to the Member States to work out. One of the additional duties of Member States is the supervision of data controllers to guarantee that data kept in the insolvency registers is accurate and up to date. They should also provide information to affected persons to enable them to exercise their rights, and in particular the right to the erasure of data. The existence of this latter right is among the most notable achievements of the GDPR (Article 17 GDPR) [Previously this issue was dealt with by the CJEU in the Google Spain SL case, which essentially recognised this right to exist in the Directive 95/46/EC]. However, this right is not absolute and as long as personal data is necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed (e.g. as long as personal insolvency proceedings are ongoing and publicity of the insolvency process is mandatory), personal data shall not be erased from the insolvency registers. At the same time, in order to grant sufficient protection to information relating to individuals not exercising an independent business or professional activity, Member States should be able to make access to that information subject to supplementary search criteria such as the debtor’s personal identification number, address, date of birth or the district of the competent court, or to make access conditional upon a request to a competent authority or upon the verification of a legitimate interest (Recital 79, Article 27 EIR Recast).
The EC, itself being a data controller, is entrusted with a number of responsibilities in connection with data. In particular, like any other controller, it shall define the necessary policies and apply the necessary technical solutions to fulfil its responsibilities within the scope of the function of the controller (Article 80(2) EIR Recast). In particular, the EC must implement technical solutions required to ensure the security of personal data while in transit, that is in any transit to or from the e-Justice Portal (Article 80(3) EIR Recast). Importantly, the EC does not maintain its own insolvency register. Instead, it supports the system composed of the national insolvency registers and the European e-Justice Portal, which serves as a central public electronic access point to information in the system (Article 25(1) EIR Recast). Precisely because of this framework, the EC does not store personal data related to data subjects. This data is stored in the national databases operated by the Member States (Article 83 EIR Recast). This only covers data protection as far as it concerns registers. The separation of duties and responsibilities between Member States and the EC when it comes to personal data protection generally places all risks on the Member States, as they bear the ultimate responsibility for data processing in the insolvency registers.
Insolvency practitioners, when processing (collecting, recording, storing, using, disclosing or transmitting) personal data, particularly special categories of personal data (sensitive data), should be acquainted with the GDPR. Evidently there will be other contributions, but a useful outline is provided on the site of the Squire Patton Boggs (UK) LLP Data Privacy & Cybersecurity Team.
I am indebted to Ilya Kokorin, lecturer on company and insolvency law, University of Leiden, for the entertaining discussions we had on the topic.

Much to my wife’s chagrin but to my delight I have just completed another book, this time with my boss, Steve Lipner. It’s a bit of a departure for me, as my prior books have been totally developer-centric. But that doesn’t mean I’m any less excited to do it; in fact, I think this book is more important than Writing Secure Code.
This time the book documents the Security Development Lifecycle (SDL), a process that we’ve made part of the software development process here at Microsoft to build more secure software. Many customers, press, analysts, and, to be honest, competitors want to know more about what we’re doing in the software engineering space to shore up our software’s defenses. And thanks to the SDL, we’ve seen good progress to date (read: in the range of 50% reduction in vulnerabilities, sometimes more!)
In my opinion, what sets this book apart is the fact that it’s based on real-world software engineering, not theory, and is written by two guys whose job it is to work every day with software engineers and management to help them ship more secure software. We know what works and we know what doesn’t work. In fact, many people ask me, “If you had to choose two things from the SDL, what would they be?” and my answer is always the same, “Everything, because if it doesn’t work, it’s wouldn’t be in SDL!”
Ch 3 Steve did a wonderful job of outlining the history of the SDL at Microsoft. It’s a real eye-opener and a very candid look into the security issues we, and the industry, face.
Ch 4 What managers need to know about implementing SDL, in terms of benefit and cost.
Ch 9 This is a highly updated and streamlined (and more pragmatic) look at our threat modeling and risk analysis framework, and it includes a real-world fully worked example.
Ch 12 This chapter introduces many security testing techniques, including fuzz-testing, and the book includes the source code for a file fuzzer.
Ch 15 Another Steve-chapter, this is an exposé of the Microsoft security response process. Again, it’s very candid, outlining many of the lessons we have learned building the best response process.
Ch 18 There has been zero security guidance for Agile methods, until now. This chapter was written in conjunction with the MSN and Windows Live team.
Ch 22 When we started threat modeling, we asked development teams to build threat trees. It turns out that unless you know what you’re doing, you will never build good threat trees. Then we realized that there are threat tree patterns that apply to the various threat types. This chapter outlines all the threat trees and how you can use them to design and test your application.
The book includes a CD that includes a six-part video presentation of the “Security Basics” class we deliver to all new employees here.
Steve and I are really excited about this book, in part because today is the day we sign off on it! The galleys are all reviewed and the cover looks great.
But we’re mostly excited because we believe this in an important book—the first book to document REAL software development process improvements that yield more secure software. It ain’t perfect, and that’s why we update the SDL twice a year, but it’s a great start.
The book will be available in June this year. You can find more info here http://www.microsoft.com/MSPress/books/8753.asp.

Lesson #1: Don’t Skimp on Training. Training can’t prevent every social-engineering or spam attack from being successful, but effective training (and enforcement) can go a long way in reducing the effectiveness of such attacks. Such malware-laden E-mails tend to increase after natural disasters and during the holidays. We can expect to receive a few “click on this great Santa video” E-mails, so it may be a good time to reinforce the training with all your employees.
Lesson #2: Strong User Authentication is Your Friend. Two-factor authentication is not the same as multiple passwords. It means using two completely separate methods of identification, from among the following: Something you know (user ID and strong password); something you have (e.g., token or other physical device); or something you are (fingerprint or handprint).
Lesson #3: Protect Your Sensitive Data. A lot of South Carolina’s problems might have been eliminated had the data been protected with strong encryption accompanied by solid key management procedures.

Due to a phishing attack encountered by Saint Alphonsus Health System based in Boise, ID, the information of its patients was potentially compromised, including the data of patients of Saint Agnes Medical Center located in Fresno, CA.
Saint Alphonsus detected strange activity in the email account of an employee on January 6, 2021. The provider immediately secured the email account and investigated the incident to determine the source and nature of the activity. Saint Alphonsus established that an unauthorized individual accessed the account on January 4, 2021, giving the person access to the account and the information stored therein for 2 days. The attacker used the account to send phishing emails to other people in an effort to get usernames and passwords.
The worker whose credentials were stolen helped in some business functions that call for access to protected health information (PHI), such as doing billing tasks for the West Region of Trinity Health, including Fresno.
An evaluation of all email messages and file attachments revealed that the account held the PHI of a number of patients. The PHI in the account varied from one patient to another. The following data elements were included full names along with at least one of the following data elements: date of birth, address, telephone number, email, medical record number, treatment details, and/or billing data. The account additionally had a number of Social Security numbers and credit card numbers.
Although the investigators confirmed the unauthorized account access, it was not possible to find out which emails, if any, were seen. During the time of issuing notifications, there was no evidence found that indicates the misuse of any patient data. The provider offered credit monitoring services to the affected persons. Employees received supplemental training on email and cybersecurity to avoid the same breaches again.
The number of patients impacted by the breach is still not yet certain at the moment. Updates will be given when additional information becomes available.
4,122 People Affected by Phishing Attack on Southeastern Minnesota Center for Independent Living
Disability and support services provider, Southeastern Minnesota Center for Independent Living (SEMCIL) located in Rochester and Winona, has found out an unauthorized individual acquired access to the email account of a worker that contained the PHI of 4,122 people.
An investigation into the phishing attack showed the account was compromised on August 6, 2020 and the hacker had potential access to the account until September 1, 2020. The investigation affirmed on December 22, 2020 the exposure of PHI, including names, addresses, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, Social Security numbers, and a number of medical treatment data. The provider started sending notification letters to affected persons on February 19, 2021.
The investigation did not see any proof that suggests any PHI was viewed or obtained, and there were no reports obtained that indicate the improper use of any PHI. As a safety precaution against identity theft and fraud, people who had their Social Security number or driver’s license number exposed got offers of identity theft protection services for free.

This is really a tough thing to maintain your pc secure and safe in this highly hacking society especially in case of cyber attacks. I would like to suggest few measures according to my knowledge:
The technology is upgrading every day and the risks due to cyber attacks are also increasing. For high-risk corporate networks or users, protecting PC server is only possible through DMZ(demilitarized zone). Though the NAT router connected to your PC protect against a lot of inbound traffic, it is important to maintain the router that is protected by a strong password. The traditional WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) system can be cracked in minutes. Hope this will be useful to you."

Cybercriminals are evolving their tactics, and the security community anticipates voice and video fraud to play a role in one of the next big data breaches — so start protecting your business now.
Deepfake fraud is a new, potentially devastating issue for businesses. In fact, last year a top executive at an unidentified energy company was revealed to have been conned into paying £200,000 by scammers using artificial intelligence to replicate his boss’s voice — simply because he answered a telephone call, which he believed was from his German parent company. The request was for him to transfer the funds, which he dutifully sent to what he presumed was his parent company. In the end, the funds were stolen by sophisticated criminals at the forefront of what I believe is a frightening new age of deepfake fraud. Although this was the first reported case of this kind of fraud in the UK, it certainly won’t be the last.
Recently, a journalist paid just over $550 to develop his own deepfake, placing the face of Lieutenant Commander Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation over Mark Zuckerberg’s. It took only two weeks to develop the video.
When the Enterprise Evolves, the Enemy Adapts
We’re no strangers to phishing emails in our work inboxes. In fact, many of us have received mandatory training and warnings about how to detect them — the tell-tale signs of spelling errors, urgency, unfamiliar requests from “colleagues,” or the slightly unusual sender addresses. But fraudsters know that continuing with established phishing techniques won’t survive for much longer. They also understand the large potential gains from gathering intelligence from corporations using deepfake technology — a mixture of video, audio, and email messaging— to extract confidential employee information under the guise of the CEO or CFO.
Deepfake technology is still in its early days, but even in 2013, it was powerful enough to make an impact. While serving at the National Crime Agency (NCA) in the UK, I saw how a Dutch NGO pioneered the technology to create the deepfake of a 10-year-old girl, identifying thousands of child sex offenders around the globe. In this case, the AI video deepfake technology was implemented by a humanitarian-focused organization with the purpose of fighting crime.
But as the technology evolves, we’re seeing how much of the research into deepfakes surrounds its unlawful and criminal applications — many of which present seriously detrimental financial and reputational consequences. As more businesses educate their employees to detect and thwart traditional phishing and spearphishing attacks, it’s not difficult to see how the fraudsters may instead turn their efforts to fruitful deepfake technology to execute their schemes.
How Deepfakes Will Thrive in the Modern Workplace
With the sheer amount of jobs requiring their employees to be online, it’s critical that workforces are educated and provided with the tools to detect, refute, and protect against deepfake attacks and fraudulent activity taking place in the workplace. It’s not difficult to see why corporate deepfake detection in particular is so crucial: Employees by nature are often eager to satisfy the requests of their seniors, and do so with as little friction as possible.
The stakes are raised even further when considering how large teams, remote workers, and complex hierarchies make it even more difficult for employees to distinguish between a colleague’s “status quo” and an unusual request or attitude. Add into that equation the fast-tempo demands to deliver through agile working methodologies, and it is easy to see how a convincingly realistic video request from a known boss to transfer funds could attract less scrutiny from an employee than a video from someone they know less well.
A New Era of Employee Security Training
Companies must empower employees to question and challenge requests that are deemed to be unusual, either because of the atypical action demanded or the out-of-character manner or style of the person making the request. This can be particularly challenging for organizations with very hierarchical and autocratic leadership that does not encourage or respect what it perceives as challenges to its authority. Fortunately, some business owners and academics are already looking into ways to solve the issue of detecting deepfakes.
Facebook, for instance, announced the launch of the Deepfake Detection Challenge in partnership with Microsoft and leading academics in September last year, and lawmakers in the US House of Representatives recently passed legislation to combat deepfakes. But there is much to be done quickly if we are to stay ahead of the fraudsters.
If organizations can no longer assume the identity of the email sender or individual at the other end of the phone, they must develop programs and protocol for training employees to over-ride their natural inclination to assume that any voice caller or video subject is real, and instead consider that there may be a fraudster leveraging AI and deepfake technology to spoof the identities of their colleagues.
So start protecting your business sooner rather than later.

Compensation granted for moral damages suffered as a result of discrimination cannot be exempted from tax except if it is granted in the context of judicial proceedings or a mutual settlement agreement procedure conducted by the Centre for Equal Opportunities and Opposition to Racism, with determination of the individual moral damages actually suffered by the worker.
In principle, all amounts granted as compensation by reason or on the occasion of the termination of an employment contract are considered to be a taxable professional income.
The tax administration has only allowed the exemption of such compensation amounts in a very limited number of cases, especially when they cover individualised moral damages and are granted by a court decision.
In a recently published Circular of 4 January 2013 (Ci.RH.241/621.336), the tax administration nuances this position in the specific case in which a compensation is paid to a worker as a result of a mutual settlement agreement between the victim and the author of the discrimination following the intervention of the Centre for Equal Opportunities and Opposition to Racism within its legal mediation mission.
Such compensation can be exempt from tax, even in the absence of a court decision, provided that it is specifically determined to compensate an individual moral damage actually suffered by the worker and it does not cover any loss of income.
In the absence of a judicial decision, the NSSO states that an indemnity for moral damage is subject to social security contributions. However, as far as we know, the NSSO has never taken position with regard to this specific situation.

Municipalities provide a wide range of services to the public, including safety, waste management, infrastructure, and social services. They also face a wide range of risks that can significantly impact the delivery of those services, the safety and well-being of citizens, and the financial stability of the municipality. Some of those risks are internal, impacting operations and finances, others are external, such as pandemics, natural disasters, or cybersecurity threats.
Risk management is a critical undertaking that helps municipal governments identify, assess, prioritize, and mitigate risks. Without proper risk management, municipal governments can face profound consequences, such as financial losses, service disruptions, reputational damage, and legal liabilities.
Risk management helps municipal governments identify and assess those risks, understand their potential impact and, and develop strategies to mitigate or manage them.
In this blog post, we will discuss the importance of risk analysis for municipal governments, and the key steps involved in developing and implementing a risk management plan.
Once the risks have been identified, municipalities need to evaluate the potential impact on its residents, the economy, and the environment. This might involve examining the potential consequences of a cyberattack, or the financial costs of a system failure. They can also analyze historical data, consider scientific research, and solicit the opinions of experts to determine the severity of any potential fallout.
3. Develop a risk management strategy
Based on the results of the risk assessment, municipalities need to develop strategies for managing or mitigating risks. These could include an investment in infrastructure. A resilient emergency response plan. The establishment of a strong social safety net to deal with economic setbacks. Counter measures for dealing with a cybersecurity attack.
They should also implement control measures to reduce the likelihood of a risk occurring, develop contingency plans to respond to risks if they do occur, or transfer certain risks to a third party through insurance or other methods.
4. Monitor risk management strategies
Once the risk management strategies have been developed, the municipality needs to implement them and monitor their effectiveness. This involves establishing processes to track and report on risk management activities, regularly reviewing and updating the risk management plan, and ensuring that the plan is integrated into the municipality's overall strategic plan.
Technology Risk Assessment
Technology has enabled local governments to improve their operations and services significantly. Online platforms can enable electronic voting or online public services delivery. Technology has made it easier and more efficient for local governments to serve and connect with their citizens. However, technology also comes with risks that local governments must consider in their risk assessments.
One of the most significant risks associated with technology is cybersecurity. Governments are at risk of cyber-attacks from hackers looking to gain access to sensitive information or disrupt operations. Cyber-attacks often result in the theft of personal data, the disruption of critical services and even physical damage.
To mitigate cybersecurity risks, local governments must take steps to ensure the security of their technology infrastructure. This includes implementing strong access controls, regularly updating software and hardware, and conducting regular security audits. Additionally, local governments should have a plan in place for responding to cyber-attacks to minimize damage and recover quickly.
They should also ensure their staff is trained in best practices, especially when dealing with the personal information of residents, including names, addresses, and other identification markers.
To protect personal data, local governments must implement robust data privacy policies and procedures. This includes limiting access to personal data to only those who need it, ensuring that data is encrypted during storage and transmission, and regularly monitoring data access logs for suspicious activity.
Technological obsolescence is a risk that is often missed or overlooked, and for understandable reasons. Technology is constantly evolving. Today’s innovative solution can quickly become outdated and vulnerable tomorrow. Local governments need to stay up to date with technological advancements. To do this they must regularly assess their technological infrastructure to ensure it remains secure and effective.
Risk assessment is by no means a once and done endeavor. It should be regularly monitored and updated as new information becomes available. Governments should be prepared to adjust their strategies in response to changing risk profiles. They need to update their strategies and controls as needed to stay ahead of emerging threats and changing technologies.
By identifying and assessing risks, developing risk management strategies, and implementing and monitoring those strategies, municipal governments can better manage potential risks and minimize the negative impact to their communities.

2019 is shaping up as a year when ransomware infection frequency declined by orders of magnitude, compared to the year 2017 when such malware variant made headlines for causing trouble for millions globally. It was very hard not to notice the everyday news about a firm or a public agency becoming the newest victim of ransomware and their struggle with the ransom demand (the money the victims have to pay to restore their files). Of course, that does not mean that news about company X becoming a ransomware target, it still happens but very far few in-between.
Some other ransomware was too old, predated WannaCry for years, but making a comeback this year, 2019. This scenario is what Shade ransomware is exhibiting at the moment, last known active in the wild five years ago in 2014 by Kaspersky Labs. Palo Alto’s Unit42 team meanwhile detected some instances of its resurrection in the United States, India, Thailand, Canada, and Japan.
“Recent reports of malspam pushing Shade ransomware have focused on distribution through Russian language emails. However, Shade decryption instructions have always included English as well as Russian text. The Shade ransomware executable (EXE) has been remarkably consistent. All EXE samples we have analyzed since 2016 use the same Tor address at cryptsen7f043rr6.onion as a decryptor page. The desktop background that appears during an infection has been the same since Shade was first reported as Troldesh in late 2014,” explained Brad Duncan, Unit 42’s Threat Intelligence Analyst.
The way Shade ransomware spreads are no different from any contemporary malware of our time. The sample Shade ransomware examined by Unit 42 was proliferating using spam emails. The strongest campaign for this ransomware infection was when there was a huge number of spam emails way back Feb 2019. These emails had an attached pdf or a compressed zip file, with the body of the email describing the attachment as a billing statement from the victim’s service provider.
The pdf or zip file attached aren’t normal files, but just a launcher for executing a malicious Javascript code that will download the actual Shade malware from the command and control servers. The payload itself has not seen any significant changes compared to the Shade variant that Kaspersky Labs first examined in 2014. Once the Shade payload is downloaded, it is executed automatically by the script contained in the zip/pdf file – this is when the encryption of files and generation of text-based warning notification occurs.
The wallpaper set by the user will be replaced by a black background with red text announcing the infection saying: “Attention! All the important files on your disks were encrypted. The details can be found in README.txt files which you can find on any of your disks.”
Unlike the previous iteration of Shade ransomware, the newer variant has a direct destination, as the most number of infection cases are in the United States, it was previously wreaking havoc in India, Thailand and Japan’s Windows-based computers. There is also visible indications that certain sectors of specific geographical location are targeted, with victims usually from the telecommunications, wholesale/retail and education industries. Unit 42’s hypothesis points to non-Russian speaking countries as the most vulnerable of receiving spam emails carrying Shade malware.

I installed the Win 10 Home Single Language from the downloaded iso. Was getting wierd error messages so updated Malwarebytes and ran a scan. It came up with about 15 trojans and worms which it got rid of. I thought this version of windows was supposed to have better security? I did disable UAC and Windows Defender because I got tired of all the popup messages.
Note to self: Don't do that again.
Even formerly legitimate software outlets are now serving up malware. They get paid to offer software salted with malware, popups, etc. Cnet, etc. Even "freeware" authors are doing this. They get extra money for embedding the crapware in their programs. You have to beware, don't install things by default. Read every message carefully as you install even pre-virus scanned software. Don't be a goldfish in a shark tank.
Using both Windows Defender and the paid version of Malwarebytes will block a lot of this, but you still have to beware.

September 14, 2018: The cyber security industry’s female workforce is a paltry 8% in the UK (and only 7% in Europe) and they earn on average 15.5% less than their male colleagues. Globally, the percentage of women in the field is just 11%, a number that has remained steady since 2013. This gender imbalance may have serious implications for our safety.
According to Jane Frankland, managing director of Cyber Security Capital, “Women are far better at assessing odds than men, and this often manifests itself as an increased avoidance of risk... [Women’s] preference for detailed exploration makes them more attuned to changing patterns of behaviour – a skill needed for correctly identifying threats and protecting environments.”

A new vulnerability study from cloud security vendor NopSec Inc. questioned the accuracy of the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) and claimed social media can offer better indicators for critical vulnerabilities.
NopSec's "2015 State of Vulnerability Risk Management" report looked at more than 65,000 vulnerabilities contained in the National Vulnerability Database over a 20-year period. Among the study's conclusions was that CVSS scores alone are not sufficient metrics to determine risk, and that other factors "need to be considered in order to establish a true technical risk score."
One such factor is the response on social media, specifically Twitter. According to the study, Twitter was among a handful of useful metrics in analyzing vulnerability risks and prioritizing enterprise security responses. NopSec said social media mentions of vulnerabilities are useful in predicting potential risk.
"We found that the response in social media gives an indication of how important the vulnerability is as opposed to the score represented by the CVSS," said Michelangelo Sidagni, CTO of NopSec. "The professionals and the people in your organization, if they feel the vulnerability is important, they talk about it in social media. We wanted to show the correlation between vulnerability criticality and social media mentions, specifically on Twitter."
Without the value of social media response, Sidagni said, a major vulnerability that receives a low to medium CVSS score might not set off the necessary alarms for enterprise security personnel. He cited the Heartbleed vulnerability as an example; the open source encryption flaw revealed last year was seen by experts as one of the worst vulnerabilities they had ever seen, yet Heartbleed only received a CVSS score of 5 out of 10, which is "medium" severity.
But Heartbleed received a lot of attention on social media, Sidagni said, as it should have. NopSec's study found what it classified as a "critical vulnerability" -- such as Heartbleed -- was on average mentioned 748 times on Twitter. Vulnerabilities that received "high" scores from NopSec received 89 mentions on average, while "medium" scores only received 8 mentions.
The Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST), which maintains the CVSS, has received criticism and backlash recently over concerns with CVSS scores and, specifically the low CVSS score Heartbleed received.
Some concerns about the system were addressed in version 3 of the CVSS, released May 28, 2015, according to Seth Hanford, chair of the CVSSv3 special interest group at FIRST. "We heard quite a bit of feedback from the vulnerability scoring community that CVSSv2 had a number of issues that needed to be addressed," Hanford said.
Other vendors have tried to use or even push their own vulnerability scoring systems, such as Tripwire in 2014, although experts generally believe a standardized approach is best for vulnerability risk assessments.
"While CVSS can be a powerful indicator, it -- like all generic values -- is generalized," Ben Rothke, senior eGRC consultant at Nettitude Group, said in a blog post for Dell. "For the best efficacy, it needs to be customized to the specific entity using it. But the reality is that most organizations don't do that. They will simply use the information from Rapid7, Qualys, and Tenable without tailoring it to their specific risks and environment."
Rothke argued the CVSS, which is a free and open industry standard, is used as a quick and dirty measure of threat, but that to be truly effective, it needs to be adapted for individual companies.
"What if the company has a vulnerability with a high CVSS score with no exploit for it, but also another vulnerability with a lower CVSS score that does have an exploit," Rothke asked. "Which takes preference?"
Hanford argued each enterprise needs to analyze a vulnerability and CVSS score in the context of their own environment and risk tolerance.
"For example, if there's a vulnerability in Microsoft Windows, CVSS can tell you how damaging it is to that Windows OS -- but a business has to decide how important Windows is to the business," Hanford said. "So if it's Windows on the CEO's desk, that may be more important than Windows in their call center."
NopSec, meanwhile, sees Twitter as the de-facto media for IT and IT security people to share information on. While the study did not identify the specific people tweeting about vulnerabilities, the company found its own vulnerability ratings correlated extremely well with mentions on Twitter.
"It's not that we recommend [using] it as a sole measure of the risk," Sidagni said. "Our feeling is that the CVSS score is not the only measure of the risk. It's actually not an exact measure. The technical risk belongs only to the technical aspect of the vulnerability, but the other aspects [of the vulnerability] include availability of the exploit, the presence of malware, the popularity of the vulnerability in social media, as well as [relevance to] the client base or the customer host."
CERT/CC's Art Manion says CVSS scoring needs to be replaced Security expert Art Manion discusses what he calls major problems within the Common Vulnerability Scoring System and explains why CVSS needs to be replaced.
CVSS v3.0: What does Oracle's move mean for vulnerability assessment? Oracle has moved from using a modified version of CVSS v2.0 to CVSS v3.0. Expert Michael Cobb explains criticism of the old version, and the changes in vulnerability scoring in v3.0.
CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) The CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) rates the severity of software vulnerabilities so organizations are able to prioritize mitigation.
Flaw in ASN.1 compiler potentially critical, hard to find A critical flaw was discovered in the ASN.1 compiler used by leading telecommunications and networking vendors, and the extent of the vulnerability has yet to be determined.
Oracle patches now more critically rated with CVSS 3.0 Oracle patches 136 security flaws in various products and a number of vulnerabilities were rated more critical because of a switch to CVSS 3.0.
CVSS as its name stands, is an indicator for severity, not risk, so I would not mix them and analysed them both in a risk assessment. I usually manage technical vulnerabilities as another cycle process inside risk management, usually technical vulnerabilities are been reflected in risk maps as just a couple of risks where We take into account multiple information(publication, exploits, relevance, severity) to estimate probability and impact for that risks.
Another point worth to mention is that CVSSv2 already take into account another criteria such as exploitability and relevance to each organization, in their Temporal and Environmental Metrics, however they are not used widely, because involves knowledge and analysis for each organization.
Social media could be another dimension to take into account, but in my opinion is less reliable than current CVSS metrics.

The reason for this is that if both products have their automatic (Real-Time) protection switched on, your system may lock up due to both software products attempting to access the same file at the same time.
Also because more than one Antivirus and Firewall installed are not compatible with eachother, it can cause system performance problems and a serious system slowdown.
So you have to make a decision here and keep the Antivirus you prefer and uninstall the other one.
Then reboot after uninstalling.
Also, I see you have Viewpoint installed...
Viewpoint Manager is considered as foistware instead of malware since it is installed without users approval but doesn't spy or do anything "bad". This will change from what we know in 2006 read this article: http://www.clickz.co...cle.php/3561546
I suggest you remove the program now. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove the following programs if present.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply! I got rid of AVG, but I couldn't find my Norton anti-virus. I believe I have Symantec anti-virus because it is required by my college.
To be honest, I rather recommend AVG than Norton, this since AVG is for free and isn't such resource hog as Norton.
That's why.. * To fully remove Norton AntiVirus or other Symantec related products, select the product you want to uninstall from this list in order to download the removal tool.
Please read the instructions first before you use it.
For older versions of Norton (2000, 2001, 2002), choose this link.
Also read the next article in case you're having problems with uninstalling Norton if above instructions didn't work, or noticed problems after uninstalling Norton: http://basconotw.mvps.org/SymRem.htm * Open notepad - don't use any other texteditor than notepad or the script will fail.

Whether you’re looking for classic slots, video slots with complex bonus rounds, or progressive jackpots, there’s something for everyone. Just make sure to read some slot reviews before playing to ensure you’re getting the most out of your time and money!
Payout Percentage – Every slot has a payout percentage that shows how much you’re likely to win for each dollar you bet. The higher the payout percentage, the more likely you are to win big.
You can find this information in the rules or info page for a slot, or on the casino’s website or game developer’s site. It’s important to understand this percentage because it can affect your decision as to which game to play.
RNG – Random Number Generators are used to determine the outcome of each spin on an online slot. These are independently tested and monitored by regulatory agencies to ensure they’re completely unbiased.
They’re the key to winning big on online slots!
Unlike in traditional casino games, where the reels are fixed, in online slots they can be moved and repositioned. This makes them more exciting and helps increase your chances of a big win.
They’re also easy to understand and work well with any type of computer or device. The graphics are bright and colorful, and the sound effects are often quite impressive.
If you’re a beginner, start with free demos before you deposit any real money. These demos will give you a feel for the game and help you decide if it’s for you.
When you’re ready to play for real money, look for a casino that accepts your preferred currency and offers a wide selection of payment options. Some casinos even have live chat support so you can ask questions or get assistance whenever you need it.
Some casinos also have special promotions for their slot players. These can include free spins and other bonuses. These promotions can be a great way to test out new online slot machines and learn how they work before you invest your money.
The best place to find these types of promotions is in the Promotions section of the casino’s website. You’ll often see a list of the best bonuses available.
These bonuses can range from free spins to cash rewards, and can be a great way to try out a new game before you wager any real money. Be sure to read the terms and conditions carefully to understand what you’re agreeing to before committing your hard-earned money.
Paylines – Most online slots have several paylines. These can be vertical, diagonal, or horizontal lines that run across the reels. These can be a good way to increase your chances of winning, but you’ll need to be aware of how many paylines you activate and how much you’re paying for each one.

The move may impede the delivery of machinery such as tractors, which is unfortunate timing as the planting season for summer crops is underway.
AGCO put out a short statement on its website disclosing the ransomware attack, and confirmed it continues to impact some of production facilities.
The company is currently investigating the extent of the attack, but expects business operations would be adversely affected for at least several days.
Resuming full operations across all services might take longer depending upon how quickly AGCO is able to repair system, hinting at the seriousness of the attack and potential measures to control the spread. AGCO said it would provide updates as the situation progresses.
AGCO may not be a familiar name to everyone, but it is the owner of the Challenger, Massey Ferguson, Fendt and Valtra brands of agricultural machinery, and thus supplier of a large number of tractors and other farming equipment to various markets around the globe. Its biggest rivals include John Deere maker Deere & Company, Komatsu, and Caterpillar Inc.
The company has so far given away little detail regarding the actual attack, not yet naming the specific ransomware variant involved, which systems were and are affected, whether a ransom has been demanded, or the extent of its spread within the AGCO infrastructure.
However, according to reports in the French media, the Massey Ferguson tractor production lines in Beauvais, north of Paris, were shut down at the end of last week and the assembly line workers were sent home after servers at the facility were rendered inaccessible. And according to German media reports, workers in the Bavarian production facilities of AGCO’s Fendt brand haven’t come into work as the IT outage continues.
Meanwhile, Reuters reports that the attack has come at a bad time, when agricultural machinery makers are facing supply chain disruptions and other issues that had already seen them struggling to keep up with demands for new equipment.
The news follows a report from the FBI that cybercrime cost victims around the globe at least $6.9 billion last year, with the volume of attacks and their related costs growing larger every year. According to the FBI, the three top variants of ransomware that were deployed against critical infrastructure companies last year were Conti, LockBit and REvil/Sodinokibi.
AGCO reported net sales for the first quarter of 2022 of $2.7 billion, an increase of nearly 13 percent compared to the first quarter of 2021.
Prior to the ransomware attack, AGCO raised the full-year outlook for net sales and net income per share, declared a special dividend of $4.50 per share payable in June, and said it had increased quarterly dividend payouts by 20 percent. ®

In the previous section, we found out that there is only one asset “10.4.31.174” present in ControlsInsight. The asset with IP 10.4.27.138 is missing from the asset table as shown in the below screenshot:
Currently, Nexpose is the only data source for ControlsInsight so let's navigate to Nexpose and look at the details of the site and the assets.
Go to Nexpose and click on the site “LA Systems”. As shown in the screenshot, the asset with IP 10.4.27.138 has 4 vulnerabilities found where as the 10.4.31.174 has lot more. This gives us an indication that something is messy with asset 10.4.27.138.
Digging further, we click on the asset 10.4.27.138 and are now at the asset detail page. Enable “fingerprint listing section” by clicking on the link on the top right corner as shown in the snapshot:
Going to the bottom of the page, we will find that the fingerprint listing shows that the highest certainty it reached was 0.85. ControlsInsight will only pull in assets when the certainty is 1.0.
When we navigate to the asset detail for 10.4.31.174 we see that the fingerprint certainty is 1.0 so we were able to get that asset in ControlsInsight.
To solve this issue, we need to add the right credentials during site creation. We can change or add more credentials by going through the “manage site” process. This time let's make sure to do the credential verification by using the asset 10.4.27.138
ControlsInsight depends on the data collected from Nexpose to assess controls coverage and provide prioritized guidance. Validating proper site configuration will help ensure that all assets are being accurately assessed.

A shredding company works with paper and electronic documents to ensure that they are properly destroyed. This ensures that when sensitive documents are destroyed, your personal information cannot be accessed by anyone.
When people use the term "shredding company", it usually refers to a physical location where companies take their sensitive documents to be shredded. However, in some cases, they may also provide mobile shredding services where they come directly to your location and shred documents on-site.
Another term for a shredding company is "document destruction." If you are interested in finding out how you can protect yourself from identity theft, contacting a local document destruction company may be helpful.
What do shredding companies do with your documents?
When you shred documents, the information is destroyed beyond recognition. This means that it is impossible for anyone to piece the information back together and access it. Even if someone had all of the pieces of paper, they still would not be able to understand what was once on them.
Shredding is one of the most secure ways to dispose of confidential information. Not only does it protect your personal data, but it also helps to protect against identity theft and other fraud-related crimes. If you are looking for a way to keep your information safe, be sure to use a shredding company.
Once a shredding company has shredded your documents, they typically recycle the paper. This helps to reduce the amount of waste that is sent to landfills each year. In addition, recycling helps to conserve natural resources and reduces the amount of pollution that is created.
Shredding electronic documents is just as important as shredding physical documents. When you shred electronic documents, it destroys the information beyond recognition. This helps to protect your personal data and keeps your information safe and secure.
Why Should We Use a Shredding Company?
Data security is an important topic that has gotten more attention in recent years. If you are interested in keeping your information safe, you may be wondering how often you should shred your documents. While there are many ways to dispose of paper files securely, shredding companies offer one of the most secure options. This is because they use cross-cut shredders that ensure sensitive information cannot be read once it has been shredded.
Data security also needs to be taken seriously when it comes to electronic documents. When you destroy paper documents, the only way someone could access them would be to take out all of the pieces and put them back together. That is not the case with electronic documents. These files can be accessed by anyone who knows how to use a computer and an internet connection. If you do not want your information to fall into the wrong hands, it is important that all of your sensitive information has been properly destroyed.
What Documents Should You Shred?
It's important to use a shredding company when you need to destroy a variety of documents. The following are examples of materials that should be shredded:
Government documents - If your office handles any official government paperwork, make sure all of these papers have been properly disposed of. This ensures that your business will not get in trouble for mishandling important information.
Payment history documents - If you are in the process of applying for a loan, it's important that you do not have any records of your payment history. This information can show lenders whether or not you've missed payments on previous loans.
Medical documents - If you're preparing to apply for health insurance, be sure to shred all medical-related documents. This includes information about a medical condition, written prescriptions, and dental records.
Tax documents - If you have tax-related documents at home, it's best to let a professional take care of them for you. These materials may include any documents that identify how much money you earn, all of your deductions, and whatnot.
What You Should Look for in a Shredding Company
In order to hire a shredding company, you need to determine which types of services they offer. In addition, you may also want to consider the following factors:
How Much Does it Cost - Before hiring one shredding company, it's important that you compare them with another option. That way, you can choose the service that offers the best value for your money.
What Type of Shredding Equipment Do they Use - Before hiring a shredding company, it's important to determine how they destroy documents. While some may use cross-cut shredders, others may use strip or micro-cut equipment. You should understand the difference between these options before making your final decision.
Do They Provide Mobile Shredding Services - If you are not able to take your documents directly to a location where they will be destroyed, you may want to consider services that offer mobile shredding services. These companies typically come directly to your office or business with their shredding equipment so that your documents can be destroyed onsite.
Using a shredding company is one of the most secure methods to get rid of your sensitive and confidential paperwork. These firms can assist you to avoid identity theft and other fraud-related crimes by using a cross-cut shredder. If you want to keep your personal information private and safe, a shredding company may be the ideal choice!

Cyber security experts says that the self-driving cars are at risk to cyber-attacks because of having interconnected devices. These cars have the connections, they are working on the connectedness. This technology is using the artificial intelligence, by this car are able to see the roads, and make the decisions about how to drive. In this vehicle high autonomous techniques are used, so greater the autonomy and greater the risk of cyber-attack.
Connection means that these devices are interconnected they can talk to other devices, networks and vehicles. For example, Tesla company making the cars that use the “neural system” to operate the camera-based system. This makes the connection more efficient and effective. There are many ways that the vehicles are interconnected so in this way there is high risk of hacking. Hackers are working on the technologies; they are working on the problems and bugs in the software.

We regret to notify you that Absa has identified an isolated internal data leak whereby personal information of a limited number of Absa customers was shared with parties external to the Bank. We are contacting all affected customers directly.
Unfortunately, some of your personal information was part of this data which included identity number, vehicle description financed, address and contact details. Absa takes the protection of personal data extremely seriously and has taken proactive steps to address the potential risk to our customers.
Based on our investigation we have reason to believe that the data was intended for telemarketing purposes.
Easy fix. The guy selling the data is as guilty as the one paying for it. Arrest them on the Popi act violation..O wait..no one cares to enforce the laws
POPI is not there to stop people buying or selling PII. POPI is there to make organisations accountable for the information they store.
In short: you cannot screw up people having PII under POPI. You are also not going to stop direct marketing and similar. But you can actually make sure that organisations that process consumer information protect it. That is the POPI act in a nutshell.
Edit: it is also going to be a heck of a long time before the act gets a real run for its money from a litigation aspect. My thoughts at any rate.
We’re reaching out to you, our valued customer, to assure you that we have taken precautionary measures to protect you and your financial interests.
We maintain a comprehensive set of controls and processes to protect your data, and constantly improve them to ensure we adapt to the evolving techniques, used by criminals, to bypass them. We have already refined our controls and processes, in light of this compromise, to further strengthen our defences and reduce the risk of an incident like this from re-occurring.
I'm never nasty with telemarketers, unless they go on and on after I say that I'm not interested.
I see it as a person doing their job, they didn't pick that job, but it's the best job they could get and they are trying to make a living.
I actually had one not too long ago, good day sir I'm calling you about XYZ, are you interested? Me, no. Ok sir have a great day thank you for your time. That's how it's supposed to be, it probably took 30 seconds of my time.
It's in pubs where the world's greatest ideas begin.
My take is not to be rude to the person calling you... they did not solicit the list, they are trying to earn a living.
Ask them to put you through to their supervisor, then the next level until you get high enough to scream at them...
+1 and what I also didn't add to my post earlier, that person didn't choose to dial your number, they were told by a boss to dial your number. Even that boss probably wasn't the one who got your number in some dodgy way.

Before we can process your Haron case, we first analyze the hacker attack you have suffered. In many cases, you won’t even have to come to our lab to do this. We can perform the evaluation via remote access or analyze a sample file you send us via email. After that we will inform you about individual solutions, duration and costs of the recovery.
If in an exceptional case a data recovery should be technically impossible, there will be no costs for you. So you do not take any risk. We always work in advance, because we are sure that we can convince you with our service and extensive expertise. Your data will be handled confidentially and will be in safe hands at our company.
After the diagnose our team starts the process of procuring the stolen data using the most advanced technologies. In doing so, we adhere to strict security protocols to protect the confidentiality of your data at all times.
Our experience from handling hundreds of ransomware infiltrations is what they draw on.
We take pride in our high success rate in recovering ransomware data.
We offer an express analysis for particularly urgent cases.
You will receive a non-binding offer from us.
Our service is fast and results-oriented.
We perform all work exclusively in Germany or on-site at your location.
We use proprietary decryption software that we developed ourselves and have extensive knowledge about ransomware.
Data protection is extremely important to us. Our work complies with the DSGVO regulations and we offer the option to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA).
We have over 20 years of experience in data recovery.
Hundreds of satisfied customers, national and international, trust us – including SMEs, corporations, municipalities, government agencies, medical practices and law firms.
A so-called Ransome Note is left behind (A text with the ransom demand. Mostly in Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency).
All or a large number of files have an additional file extension.
Many files cannot be opened even if you change the file extension by hand.
Some RAID systems, NAS, virtual machines or other network storage are simply not recognized anymore.
The system will no longer boot up, and the Ransomware extortionist message will show instead.

Soldiers of Germany's new Cyber and Information Space command line up during their unit's inauguration in April 2017. Wolfgang Rattay/Reuters
Europe's approach to cyber defense is a mix of good intentions, guidelines, and an alphabet soup of organizational acronyms. If the EU wants to be taken seriously, its cyber defense efforts need an overhaul.
Now is the perfect time to develop a comprehensive EU cyber defense strategy given that Europe's foreign policy and defense establishment is currently debating the future of its common foreign and security policy. Earlier this year, the European Commission—the bloc’s bureaucracy—made the case that Europe should strive to achieve what it calls "strategic autonomy"—the ability to defend itself and deter external threats without needing to rely on NATO or the U.S. security umbrella.
The Commission’s push for strategic autonomy is an appealing aspiration, but it is completely at odds with the way cyberspace works. Responding to cyber incidents requires collaboration given that attack infrastructure can be located anywhere in the world. Furthermore, attributing cyberattacks requires a robust information sharing infrastructure between the private sector and government, and between governments. Europe doesn’t have the capability to do this on its own, and will always need to rely to a certain extent on NATO, the United States, and the United Kingdom (when it eventually leaves) for these services.
Instead of pursuing strategic autonomy, the EU should strive for strategic interdependence. The bloc’s 2014 Cyber Defense Policy Framework was almost prescient on this point. It encourages EU Member States to review their cyber defense capabilities and ensure they are compatible with the EU Common Security and Defense Policy and NATO alliance commitments, where applicable. Another example of strategic interdependence is the EU-NATO coordination in combating hybrid threats—a term often used to refer to Russia’s mix of active measures and cyber operations campaigns. Finland, the EU, and NATO are collaborating to support the European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats in Helsinki.
If the EU decides to pursue a strategic interdependence approach, it should work with NATO to agree on what triggers the right for self-defense in cyberspace. There has been a lot of policy work done over the years to identify how states should act in cyberspace, particularly at the UN Group of Governmental Experts and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. There has also been progress in developing the tools to respond to an incident below the threshold of an armed attack, like the EU cyber diplomacy toolbox. However, there’s little guidance in Europe whether a serious attack on critical infrastructure should also allow for an immediate military response, either through cyberspace or through conventional means. There has been little talk at the European level on how members would reach consensus on attribution and whether a common EU response would preclude a member state, especially the victim of a catastrophic cyber incident, from acting on its own.
Finally, if the EU wants to be taken serious in the cyber defense space, it needs to pool its defense capabilities into a single agency. Currently, the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA) is responsible for ensuring member states are capable of responding rapidly in emergency situations and fostering EU-wide cooperation. However, the exchange of cyber threat information is weak between its member states and the EU, and among EU agencies such as Europol, Eurojust, the European Defence Agency and ENISA. These organizations do not have formal cooperation mechanisms given that they are often limited by the frequency and nature of the information member states choose to share with them. The EU cannot have a successful digital single market if the threats to the market are not widely shared within the bloc, and response mechanisms are ad hoc.
Europe’s approach to cyber defense is at a crossroads. Russia is getting more aggressive in its active measures campaigns, and rudimentary but effective cyber operations, such as WannaCry, can temporarily knock out critical infrastructure. It is likely that the EU will face a cyber-related crisis and its current organizational structure is ill-equipped to respond to the challenge. Reforms are needed now to ensure that Europe can properly defend itself.
