Young people said and did plenty of stupid things before the Internet.
There is nothing new about the hurtful gossip, angry threats or outrageous pranks that have long been a part of growing up. But for previous generations, much of that careless behavior faded over time.
Not so for teens and young adults today.
The widespread use of social media is creating a whole new kind of “permanent record” for all those who take part, and most young people do. A recent Pew Foundation survey showed that 78 percent of teens have a cellphone, 93 percent have access to a computer at home, 95 percent use the Internet and 81 percent have a social media site.
Without question these new media are changing the way young people communicate, but experts warn the photos, videos and opinions posted can be preserved indefinitely in the digital world. Poor judgment could haunt users for years to come.
Already many employers, colleges and graduate programs check job seekers or applicants online before making hiring decisions. This week, Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey commented that he feared that over time all the information shared could have even greater impact.
“I worry a bit about ... the young men and women who are now in their teens, early teens, and who probably underestimate the impact of their persona in social media and what impact that could have later in life on things like security clearances and promotions,” Dempsey said during the conference.
About 150 students from Huntington East Middle School and Duval Middle School in Lincoln County got some of the same advice Tuesday during a cyber safety summit, sponsored by Marshall University, the FBI and the Appalachian Institute of Digital Evidence.
The dangers of making online contact with predators is still a great concern, but speakers also covered the problems that can result from posting explicit photos or online bu l ly i ng.
“It’s not just about protecting themselves now,” said John Sammons, an assistant professor of Integrated Science and Technology. “It’s about protecting their futures.” That is an important message that parents need to continue to stress, and programs such as the Marshall summit need to be a regular part of the school curriculum.

WhatsApp’s owner Meta sued three companies for developing an unofficial WhatsApp Android app that allowed developers to steal over one million WhatsApp accounts earlier this year.
Meta’s complaint alleges that defendants doing business as HeyMods, Highlight Mobi, and HeyWhatsApp, coaxed over a million WhatsApp users into “self-compromising their accounts as part of an account takeover attack.”
Three entities, one registered in mainland China, one in Hong Kong, and one in Taiwan, distributed “unofficial” WhatsApp versions through their website heymods.com, Google Play Store, and other outlets.
“The malicious applications contained malware and, once installed, were designed to collect the victims’ account authentication information in order to take over the victims’ WhatsApp accounts for unauthorized use, including sending commercial spam messages,” read Meta’s complaint.
According to the complaint, attack victims were prompted to enter their WhatsApp credentials and authenticate their WhatsApp access on malicious apps, providing developers of the fake apps with their credentials.
“Defendants also programmed the malicious applications to send the victim’s access information to computers controlled by defendant,” the complaint said.
The data developers of the fake WhatsApp Android application collected was used to send “thousands of spam messages” via WhatsApp. The alleged scam lasted from May 2022 until at least July 2022.
Spam messages directed users to various promoted websites. Some of the websites encouraged victims to take up gambling. Mainly users in Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore were targeted.
Meta claims the company has informed the defendants and Google that some apps on its Play Store contained malware used to carry out account takeover attacks.
While developers behind the apps did not respond to Meta, they announced on Telegram that they would no longer update the ‘unofficial’ WhatsApp apps.

Verizon Wireless Tuesday revealed that there are five additional data tiers over and above the six tiers announced with its Share Everything plans earlier this summer.
The new top tier costs $150 a month for 20GB, a spokeswoman said.
The five new tiers, which are not detailed on Verizon's Web site, join the six buckets of data unveiled in June with the Verizon Share Everything program.
The original plans range from a low of 1GB for $50 a month to 10GB for $100 a month. The data can be shared among up to 10 mobile devices under the program. The other tiers above the top 10GB one listed on the web site are 12GB for $110 a month, 14GB for $120 a month, 16GB for $130 a month, 18 GB for $140 a month and 18GB for $150 a month, the spokeswoman tols Computerworld today.
The maximum that can be purchased in advance is 20 GB, she added.
RELATED: AT&T vs. Verizon: Shared Data Plans
The Verizon Wireless spokeswoman, Brenda Raney, said the carrier has been offering the higher tiers of data to customers since June, mainly through customer service via phone or in its stores.
The upper tiers were not posted with the original six tiers on the Verizon web site in order to keep the program simple and because "the majority of customers use under 2GB a month," Raney said. "Who would need 20GB?"
Computerworld contacted Verizon about the upper tiers after a reader, Bryan Sherman, commented on a Computerworld story that compared Verizon's shared data costs with those of AT&T's coming Mobile Share plans.
Sherman noticed that Verizon's charge of $150 for 20 GB would be $50 less than AT&T's $200 monthly charge for sharing 20 GB across 10 users. Sherman derived the Verizon 20GB charge by noticing a footnote on its Web site that says Verizon will charge $10/month for 2GB if a customer needs more than 10GB of data.
Raney said that customers needing more than 10GB in a given month can buy 2GB for $10 by logging into their account on the tab "My Verizon" at www.verizonwireless.com.
However, she said that capability only applies to purchasing one allotment of 2GB of extra data per month, not multiple ones.

The protection of smartphones, tablets, laptops, and the networks they connect to from threats and vulnerabilities associated with wireless computing is known as mobile security. The consequences of a malicious third-party gaining access to personal financial information could be disastrous and irreparable. The three main targets for threats are information, identity, and availability.
Mobile security broadly encompasses the protection of mobile devices (smart devices) from malware threats, data theft, unauthorized access, and accidental loss. Mobile security solutions protect mobile devices against viruses, spyware, hacker attacks, and online identity theft. It also helps block spam calls and messages and eliminate malicious apps that may risk privacy. Mobile security is seen as the key to win the war against new generation of cyber attackers.
Mobile security comes in many forms such as inbuilt in devices. For instance, iPhone comes with a default auto lock feature that requires the user to enter a password after a few minutes of inactivity. Other mobile security protections are built into the network such as strong encryption standards for data travelling across cellular networks.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday announced new requirements for U.S. pipeline operators to bolster cybersecurity following a May ransomware attack that disrupted gas delivery across the East Coast.
In a statement, DHS said it would require operators of federally designated critical pipelines to implement “specific mitigation measures” to prevent ransomware attacks and other cyber intrusions. Operators must also implement contingency plans and conduct what the department calls a “cybersecurity architecture design review.”
It’s the latest response by the Biden administration to a series of ransomware attacks and intrusions hitting critical U.S. infrastructure and raising fears about American cybersecurity.
DHS did not immediately release further details about the guidance, which comes after another directive issued weeks after the May 7 attack on Georgia-based Colonial Pipeline.
U.S. agencies on Tuesday also disclosed that Chinese government-linked intruders targeted 23 natural gas pipeline operators from 2011 to 2013. Thirteen of those attacks were confirmed intrusions, according to a government advisory.
The Colonial attack led to the shutdown of a system delivering about 45% of the gasoline consumed along the East Coast and sparked long lines and gas shortages in several states.
Colonial paid an estimated $4.4 million ransom, most of which was recovered by the Justice Department. The FBI has blamed the attack on a Russia-based gang of hackers using the DarkSide ransomware variant.
The Biden administration has repeatedly accused Russia of granting safe haven to criminal gangs and trying to steal from government agencies and private organizations in various sectors. It imposed sanctions in April for a range of activities including hacking.
Russia has broadly denied being involved in cyberattacks of U.S. institutions, decrying “unfounded accusations” in a statement last month.
The U.S. and key allies this week accused China of complicity in a massive hack of Microsoft Exchange email server software that victimized thousands of organizations. That announcement, however, was not accompanied by sanctions against China, which has accused the U.S. of making “groundless attacks” against it regarding cybersecurity.

Over $60,000 in cryptocurrency have been reportedly stolen by modified ransomware.
The malware modifies users’ BTC addresses to direct payments to attacker’s wallets.
An old ransomware program has reportedly been modified to steal an estimated 8.4 Bitcoins, currently worth over $60,000, from unsuspecting users. The way the malicious program works is by altering BTC address copied to users’ clipboards to their own. This allows the attackers to redirect payments.
The attackers trick users into thinking that their transactions are associated with the intended addresses by using the same characters at the beginning and end of their cryptocurrency addresses as those the user copied.
Several security software products have detected the ransomware program as “file-locking malware” due to minimal changes made to its original code. This, despite the malicious script stealing users’ digital currency. Reportedly, there are other cryptocurrency-stealing programs being developed and posted in secret online forums.
Repurposed Ransomware
Researchers at Fortinet, a California-based cybersecurity company, have traced the cryptocurrency stealing malware’s origins back to a program called Jigsaw. Jigsaw was a ransomware program, discovered in April 2016, that hijacked users’ systems and threatened to delete their files if they did not pay a ransom in crypto.
Notably, the original Jigsaw ransomware program was first labeled BitcoinBlackmailer.exe and it locked the users’ desktop after encrypting their files. The locked screen also showed a picture of Billy the Puppet, a character from the horror film Saw.
Jigsaw is written in the C# programming language and its code has been widely shared online. , Any bad actor with basic coding knowledge could potentially modify the malicious program to fit their agenda.
In this recent instance, the source code for the modified program actually mentions that it’s a “BitcoinStealer,” but this can only be seen by people who are able to reverse-engineer the cryptocurrency stealing script.
Notably, crypto malware replacing copied addresses is nothing new. As covered, a malware dubbed “ClipboardWalletHijacker” reportedly infected over 300,000 computers throughout the world to steal by tricking users who copied bitcoin and ethereum addresses.

Security reasearchers have warned the users who deals in digital currencies need to be more vigilant and keep their accounts secure and safe.
After the recent ''WannaCry'' ransomware cyber attack, experts have released an advisory to all those who uses Bitcoins. The ransomware has affected millions of users around the world, which locks users computer, and then ask for ransom in form of Bitcoins.
"Quantum computers are able to create a 'large factorisation' and can detect the public and private keys used in Bitcoin transactions.
"The threat is when the 'private key' is sniffed by third parties, they are free to make transactions using a hacked account as the 'private key' proves the ownership of a Bitcoin address (used to send and receive the currency)," she told Bernama.
Zuriati, a lecturer at Universiti Putra Malaysia's Communication Technology and Networking department, said that the Blockchain is a public digital database that keeps records of all bitcoins transactions needs to be protected using Bitcoin's private key. If anyone managed to access to the private key then they could easily hack the value of Bitcoin.
She said studies have proved that the use of Bitcoins are more secure, fast and cheap, they are more convenient rather than use of credit or debit card.
Bitcoin is backed with mathematical calculations. The currency cannot be controled by the countries central banks and due to this it has become preferred mode of transactions for small business.

There are ongoing issues regarding the safety and integrity of cloud storage. These digital assets provide always-on infrastructure that many firms desire, but not all of them are prepared to maintain and control their resources. Understanding security threats can produce a positive outcome for companies that are ready and aware.
According to CSO Online, many organizations were caught unaware by the newest government oversight revelations. The source reported that the RSA, one of the biggest providers of corporate security software, had intentionally programmed in a backdoor option for the NSA to spy on the provider’s business clients. That means if firms were making use of this cloud storage outlet without using encryption software and in-house management, they may have lost sensitive information to the federal government.
Being aware of these risks can help organizations take the proper precautions when it comes to cloud security. Even if a portal is not secured, a company that goes through all the motions of planning and mitigating fallout can ensure that its operations remain protected and compliant. Ensuring ongoing oversight of internal property is vital for firms that want to increase their client relationships and remove the threat of snooping in their systems.

The past year has done more than just remind the world how important healthcare is, it has highlighted the importance of protecting healthcare services and individuals. As the pandemic hurtled across the globe, telehealth and remote patient monitoring (RPM) solutions became increasingly relevant, their value highlighted by the need rapid shift from contact-based care to virtual and the need for patient support in multiple locations and situations. The market also shows that telehealth and RPM are here to stay – the global telemedicine market is expected to reach $185 billion by 2026 with a CAGR of 23.5% and a report from S&P Global found that telehealth patient volumes increased by almost 4, 000% throughout the year. This is a technology and medical solution that’s here to stay and has far reaching impact on medicine and healthcare.
Of course, it’s important to consider the technology that drives telehealth and RPM. Devices driven by the Internet of Things (IoT) offer the medical sector enormous potential in refining telehealth functionality and RPM capability. And this is reflected in the statistics with the expected size of the IoT market expected to reach $543 billion by 2025 with an expected global savings of $63 billion.
How telehealth transforms
The rise of connected care and IoT devices and remote toolkits has seen remarkable advances in RPM and telehealth solutions. Using artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality, medical professionals can step into hospitals and medical facilities around the world to provide immediate care to patients in hazardous or remote areas. They can use wearable devices to monitor patient vital signs such as heart rate or oxygen saturation, minimising the risk to healthcare practitioners while ensuring round the clock patient care.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth has exceeded expectations, using mobile health technologies, RPM tools, live video, virtual reality, drones and wearable devices to create ecosystems for digital health. These tools have been refined and adapted over the past year, improving how healthcare managed the care of chronic conditions and elderly patients, as well as those suffering from disabilities and who appreciate the intervention of telehealth. This technology has evolved over the past year and is now better at reducing the risks of in-person contact, reducing the need for admissions and emergency room visits, managing staff shortages, and providing people with an alternative to the traditional forms of medical engagement when ill or at risk.
The risks in RPM
However, as with any technology, there are risks. Around 82% of organisations that have deployed medical devices with Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities have experienced a cyberattack, and this is not a trend that’s exclusive to IoT. A recent article in the Wall Street Journal highlighted how hospitals in the US are being threatened by aggressive cyberattacks and this is not a new thing, it’s a trend that can directly impact hospitals around the world. This puts pressure on IT teams to ensure that security is both round the clock and embedded into system and human interaction. To add weight, there is also the need to protect all endpoints and to ensure that connectivity is both seamless and secure.
This is a concern that has been recognised by leading healthcare organisations and has already seen significant innovation. One has developed a direct-to-cloud platform that simplifies the integration of Patient General Health Data (PGHD) into traditional clinical systems. It blends cellular IoT technology with stringent healthcare privacy practices to ensure systems are secure and accessible anywhere in the world.
For the Thales Group, healthcare cybersecurity is a priority, one that can be embedded from the ground up throughout the process of medical digital transformation. Security by design, it ensures that as cyberattacks become increasingly sophisticated, so do the systems that protect patient, practitioner and medical institution. The Thales solution provides security measures that are compatible with government regulation and deliver an optimised blend of safety, security, data protection and realistically manageable security controls.

On May 3, 2021, we became aware of an incident that involved unauthorized access to one Neff Pharmacy Management, Inc. (“Neff”) employee email account. On June 11, 2021, we learned that the incident may have led to unauthorized access to personal information maintained by Neff.
On July 28, 2021, we mailed notifications to individuals whose personal information could have been accessed without authorization as a result of the incident. Unfortunately, we did not have sufficient contact information to provide written notice to some individuals. With regard to those individuals for whom we did not have sufficient contact information, we are providing the following information about the incident, including our toll-free call center telephone number below. That number can be called to determine whether an individual’s personal information was included in the email box that was impacted by this incident.
At this time, we have no indication that any of this personal information has been inappropriately used by anyone. We are providing this notice as a precautionary measure to inform potentially affected individuals of the incident and of protective steps that can be taken. We recommend that you closely review the information provided below for some steps that you may take to protect yourself against potential misuse of your information.
What Happened
On May 3, 2021, we learned that an unauthorized person had gained access to a Neff email account. As soon as we learned this, we immediately launched an investigation to understand what happened and, more importantly, prevent something like this from happening again. We also engaged legal counsel with an expertise in data privacy, who then hired a cybersecurity firm to assist with the investigation.
The investigation revealed that there had been unauthorized access to one Neff employee’s email account beginning in January of 2021 through May 3, 2021. Based upon the results of the investigation, Neff determined that it was possible for the unauthorized individual to have accessed the contents of individual emails and email attachments within the account. Although no specific evidence was found that such access occurred, it could not be ruled out.
Because we could not determine whether actual access to emails occurred or what, if any, specific information may have been accessed, we reviewed the entire contents of the compromised email box in order to find out what information was in each email, who may have been affected, and, when possible, where those people resided so that we could provide notification to potentially affected individuals. On June 11, 2021, we learned that the compromised email account contained personal information.
When we discovered this incident, we immediately disabled the affected email account and reset the password. To further enhance our security and help prevent similar occurrences in the future, we have taken or will be taking the following steps:
1. Closely monitoring and restricting outside access to our systems; 2. Increasing the complexity of passwords and the frequency of our password reset policy; 3. Adding two factor authentication to access our network; 4. Migrating all employee email accounts to a secure, self-hosted server; 5. Strengthening our firewalls and spam filtering to help block dangerous emails; 6. Updating our response procedures to more quickly and effectively respond to incidents; and 7. Providing additional cyber training to staff in order to increase cyber awareness.
In addition, consistent with our compliance obligations and responsibilities, we are providing notice of this incident to appropriate state and federal regulators.
What Can You Do
Although we are not aware of any inappropriate use of your personal information, we recommend that you remain vigilant to the possibility of fraud and identity theft by monitoring your account statements and free credit reports for any unauthorized or suspicious activity. You should report any incidents of suspected identity theft to your local law enforcement, state Attorney General and the major credit bureaus.
If you did not receive written notice regarding this incident, but think that your information, or your relative’s information, may have been included in the breach, please call our toll free hotline number 888-707-1586, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 pm EST. The hotline will be available through October 26, 2021.
We are very sorry this incident happened and for any inconvenience you may have experienced. The privacy and security of your information is very important to us and we remain committed to doing everything we can to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
You should also monitor your credit reports. You may periodically obtain your credit reports from each of the national consumer reporting agencies. In addition, under federal law, you are entitled to one free copy of your credit report every 12 months from each of the three nationwide consumer reporting agencies listed above. You may obtain a free copy of your credit report by going to www.AnnualCreditReport.com or by calling (877) 322-8228. You also may complete the Annual Credit Report Request Form available from the FTC at www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles/pdf-0093-annual-report-request-form.pdf and mail it to Annual Credit Report Request Service, P.O. Box 105281, Atlanta, GA 30348-5281. You may also contact any of the three major consumer reporting agencies to request a copy of your credit report.
If you discover inaccurate information or a fraudulent transaction on your credit report, you have the right to request that the consumer reporting agency delete that information from your credit report file. Even if you do not find any suspicious activity on your initial credit reports, the FTC recommends that you check your credit reports periodically, which can help spot and address problems quickly.
You have the ability to place a security freeze on your credit report at no cost to you. A security freeze is intended to prevent credit, loans and services from being approved in your name without your consent. To place a security freeze on your credit report, you may be able to use an online process, an automated telephone line, or a written request to any of the three credit reporting agencies listed above. The following information must be included when requesting a security freeze (note that if you are requesting a credit report for your spouse, this information must be provided for him/her as well): (1) full name, with middle initial and any suffixes; (2) Social Security number; (3) date of birth; (4) current address and any previous addresses for the past five years; (5) a legible copy of a government-issued identification card, (6) proof of current address, such as a legible copy of a recent utility bill or bank or insurance statement, (7) a legible copy of a recent W-2, pay stub, or Social Security card, and (8) if you are a victim of identity theft, a copy of either the police report, investigative report, or complaint to a law enforcement agency concerning identity theft. It is essential that each copy be legible, display your name and current mailing address, and the date of issue. Under federal law, you cannot be charged to place, lift, or remove a security freeze.
After receiving your freeze request, each credit reporting company will send you a confirmation letter containing a unique PIN (personal identification number) or password. Keep the PIN or password in a safe place, you will need it if you choose to lift the freeze. If you do place a security freeze prior to enrolling in the credit monitoring service as described above, you will need to remove the freeze in order to sign up for the credit monitoring service. After you sign up for the credit monitoring service, you may refreeze your credit file.
Additional Helpful Information
Even if you do not find any suspicious activity on your initial credit reports, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recommends that you check your credit reports periodically. Checking your credit report periodically can help you spot problems and address them quickly.
If you find suspicious activity on your credit reports or have reason to believe your information is being misused, file a police report with your local law enforcement agency and contact your Attorney General. Be sure to obtain a copy of the police report, as many creditors will want the information it contains to absolve you of the fraudulent debts. You may also file a complaint with the FTC at the information provided above.
If your personal information has been used to file a false tax return, to open an account or to attempt to open an account in your name, or to commit fraud or other crimes against you, you may file a police report in the city in which you currently reside.

The use of a company-wide Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is necessary in modern IT infrastructures. Certificates are necessary for different requirements, e.g. public certificates for communication with external partners via web servers (SSL/TLS), VPN gateways (IPSec) or for email encryption (S/MIME use).
Trusted certificates are also required for internal resources to secure different processes. These include strong password-independent authentication options (using smart cards), other certificate-based authentication methods in LAN and WLAN infrastructures, as well as digital signatures or machine certificates for device authentication.
The design of a PKI is highly dependent on security and confidentiality requirements. Planning is often carried out on the basis of best practice papers, which are far too complex or sometimes undersized for the actual requirements. The respective requirements for using a PKI in terms of the security level, availability, integrity and scalability of an appropriate solution should be captured in the context of a risk assessment.

Welcome to the Internet of Things. Please check your privacy at the door.
Several things can happen to your IoT data, and most of them are bad. Here are the biggest things you need to worry about.
7 out of 10 IoT devices have some kind of security flaw -- with an average of 25 vulnerabilities per device.
The fact is, hackers probably aren't all that interested in how many steps you took today or how hard you're cranking the air conditioning. The bigger threat is when they exploit vulnerabilities in IoT devices to gain access to information they do care about, like the traffic flowing across your home network, which may include banking passwords and other valuable information.
[ Related: IoT's dark side: Hundreds of unsecured devices open to attack ]
To an attacker, a vulnerable IoT device is no different than misconfigured server, laptop, or desktop computer, says Richard Henderson, a security strategist for Fortinet's FortiGuard Threat Research and Response Labs.
“I am aware of security issues in some popular devices that create 'smart outlets', as well as devices like webcams,” says Henderson. “We know that advanced attackers will use any vector available to them to gain an initial foothold into their target's environment. Using a smart outlet as a springboard is no different than using a laptop.”
Right now, smart home devices are at low risk from being targeted by attackers, says Mika Stahlberg, director of strategic threat research at F-Secure. That's partly because there just aren't enough smart home devices, and because there are far richer targets available -- like corporate servers containing millions of records. Eventually, though, they could become a target.
“If you are extremely worried about your privacy and security, the only way to really stay safe is to not buy and use these gadgets,” writes Stahlberg. “However, for most people, the time-saving convenience benefits of IoT and the Smart Home will outweigh most privacy and security implications.”
The risks of the IoT are not lost on government or industry officials, either. But what they can do about it is fairly limited.
In January, the FTC issued a series of guidelines for private companies to follow to minimize some of the threats posed by the IoT. The feds recommended beefing up the pitiful security found in most of these inexpensive devices, minimizing the amount of data they collect, urging companies to retain that data for as short a period as practical, and giving users notice and choice about how their data is being used.
The agency has also taken action against companies that advertised their IoT products as “secure” when they were in fact not. In addition, several independent organizations are working on security standards for IoT devices, thought they are still likely years away.
Members of the US House of Representatives have formed a new Congressional caucus to educate legislators on the security risks inherent in the IoT. (Whether that's a cause for celebration or concern is a matter of debate.)
Meanwhile, the Internet of Things continues to grow at a phenomenal pace. By the end of this year, some 25 billion devices will be connected to the Internet – a figure that's expected to double by the year 2020, according to Cisco's Internet Business Solutions Group.
What will happen to the petabytes of data the IoT will generate is a question no one today can really answer. But we're forging blindly ahead anyway, hoping solutions appear before anything truly awful happens.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in the TrueVector service (VSMON.exe) in Zone Labs ZoneAlarm 6.x and Integrity does not search ZoneAlarm's own folders before other folders that are specified in a user's PATH, which might allow local users to execute code as SYSTEM by placing malicious DLLs into a folder that has insecure permissions, but is searched before ZoneAlarm's folder. NOTE: since this issue is dependent on the existence of a vulnerability in a separate product (weak permissions of executables or libraries, or the execution of malicious code), perhaps it should not be included in CVE.

A customer has an existing OnCommand 5.x Unified Manager server that runs Core services, Performance Advisor and Protection Manager (PM). Due to growth in their data protection environment, the customer elects to deploy a second PM server that will only be used only for PM services. They want to move some - but not all - data protection relationships from the current PM server to the new PM-only server. The customer has the following requirements:
All data protection relationships being migrated must be kept in-tact. No re-baseline should be required.
For migrated relationships, all existing backups created by the current PM server should be retained and capable of being used for restores.
For migrated relationships, all existing backups created by the current PM server should expire according the backup policy and be deleted appropriately to reclaim space.
NOTE: In this scenario, the customer is electing to not restore the current DFM database to the new PM-only sever. It is a fresh install with a clean DFM database.
This document explains how to accomplish the customer's objectives in the above scenario. It only covers the migration process, not the instruction for building of the PM-only server.
PREPARATION CHECKLIST
Before migrating relationships between PM servers, one should perform a number of checks to ensure a smooth migration.
Is hostname resolution working correctly on the new PM-only server? Test both the hostname and FQDN of the storage controllers used in the data protection relationships.
Have all of the storage controllers been discovered by the new PM-only server? If not, add them now.
Have the login credentials and transport protocols been specified for each storage controller in the new PM-only server? If not, specify them now.
Have NDMP credentials been specified for each storage controller in the new PM-only server? Protection Manager cannot operate without proper NDMP credentials.
It is highly recommended that you perform a "Diagnose Connectivity" on each and every storage controller on the new PM-only server. Verify that all protocols used pass their connectivity test. These are typically: SSH, HTTP/HTTPS, NDMP, and SNMP (v1 or v3).
Re-create any custom data protection policies, schedules, and throttles used by the data protection relationships. Compare the policies on both PM servers to verify they're identical.
Create necessary resource pools.
Verify all PM-specific server settings are identical between both servers. For example, "dpMaxFanInRatio", "dpReaperCleanupMode" and "dpRebaselineMode".
Copy any backup or fail-over scripts used by the existing PM server to the PM-only server. Verify they run correctly.
Once all of the above have been addressed, give the PM-only server some time (15-30 minutes) and verify that it has discovered all of the existing data protection relationships. They will all be listed as "external relationships" in the PM-only server because it's not aware of the original PM server. If any relationships do not get discovered, run through the checklist again for the storage controllers in question.
MIGRATION STEPS
Plan on migrating a single source:destination pair at a time. For example, if it's a VSM relationship, you'll only be migrating one relationship. If its a SV relationship with multiple qtrees, you'll be migrating each relationship established between the source and destination volume in a single attempt.
NOTE: If you have multiple source volumes & qtrees that fan-in to a single secondary volume, you would have to migrate all of the relationships at once. The reason is that we have to relinquish the secondary volume from the original dataset, so all relationships that rely on it must be migrated at the same time.
Plan the migration so that it will not occur during a scheduled local or remote backup. Check the protection policy or dataset for the backup schedule. NOTE: Do not attempt to suspend the original dataset in order to avoid a backup window.
If it doesn't exist already, plan ahead by creating an empty dataset on the PM-only server which will import the relationship. Create the dataset and do not assign any physical members to the primary node. Give it the correct protection policy, and do not assign any physical members to the backup node. It should be a completely empty dataset.
On the new PM-only server, verify that the relationship you're about to migrate is already shown as an "external relationship". If not, review the preparation checklist again and resolve the issue.
On the original PM server, relinquish the data protection relationship(s) from the dataset that owns them. Do it in exactly this order:
Relinquish each relationship that is part of the source:destination volume pair. "dfpm dataset relinquish { [ <destination-volume-name-or-id> ] | [ <destination-qtree-name-or-id> ]"
Edit the original dataset, and remove the primary volume from the primary node.
Edit the original dataset, and remove the secondary volume from the backup/mirror node.
Verify that the original PM server now shows the relationship(s) as an external relationship.
Do not delete the original dataset. Do not suspend the original dataset. The original dataset must remain to allow for restores from older backups. The original dataset also manages the retention & expiration of the local and remote backups created by the original dataset. Once all of the original backups have expired, then you can delete the dataset. NOTE: In order for the original dataset to perform restores and expire the backups, the original PM sever must still have connectivity to the controllers and volumes. If the customer's desire is to eventually remove the controllers from the original PM server, do not remove them until all of the original backups have expired and been deleted.
On the new PM-only server, import the relationship(s) into the appropriate dataset.
After importing the relationships, the dataset will show a status of Warning. When you investigate the warning, the dataset reports, "no backup history exists". To clear this warning event, either run an on-demand backup job or wait for the next scheduled backup to occur. Either way, the backup job will force an update of the relationship and create a new backup snapshot. Once the new dataset creates the first backup for the imported relationship, the warning status will go away.
At this point, the relationship is now under the management of the new dataset on the PM-only server. It should run backups according to the dataset's protection policy and schedule. The original dataset on the original PM server will no longer be creating backups or updating the relationship(s). However, it will continue to expire and delete the backups it had created (on primary and secondary volumes) according to its protection policy. It will not expire or delete any new backups created by the new dataset because it won't be aware of them. The original PM server will continue to see the relationship, but only as an external relationship.
Based on the retention periods for your backups, set a calendar reminder to delete the original dataset once all of its backups have expired. It will not be needed after that point.
NOTE: Protection Policies have both a retention period AND a retention count for backups. Even if all backups have exceeded their retention period, Protection Manager will always retain [n] number of backups based on its retention count. On the original PM server, you may want to set the protection policy's retention count to 0 to ensure the original dataset deletes any/all backups it created. Be careful that this change doesn't impact other datasets using the same protection policy.
The main disadvantages of using the import instead of db restore are the following.
We loose the dynamic referencing, and there by auto relationship creation of qtree(for QSM and SV) which are created after the dataset was created.
We also loose the ability of dynamic secondary sizing of the imported destination volumes as they are not marked dp_managed.
Though this could be over come using the Secondary Space Management feature by migrating the destination volumes.
Dynamic referencing is applicable only for primary volumes, where as Dynamic Secondary Sizing is applicable only for PM provisioned QSM and SV destination volumes. PM tracks this by using a flag and is applicable as long as you import the relationship into any dataset within the same server where this volume was provisioned. Whereas Dynamic referencing is specific to each dataset and is lost as soon as you move a relationship outside a dataset/import to another dataset within the same server.
To answer you specific question, Dynamic referencing will be lost where as DSS will be intact in your case.

When pay equity advocates sued the White House and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for pulling back the pay data reporting portion of an annual workforce survey, they wanted the EEOC to have the ability to direct anti-bias enforcement efforts.
They also wanted to use the data to provide training on how to address pay discrimination charges, Democracy Forward senior counsel Robin Thurston told Bloomberg Law. The Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit was one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit against EEOC and the White House’s Office of Management and Budget.
Now that a federal judge has ruled that the EEOC can begin collecting the data, employers and government cybersecurity pros warn that collecting the detailed information could put employees at risk of identity theft and companies at risk of having talent poached.
Collecting bulk amounts of sensitive personal data is a risky endeavor for any agency because government-controlled data is subject to a high hacking risk, former U.S. officials told Bloomberg Law. Agencies must balance the benefit of collecting the against the risks of it falling into the wrong hands, they said.
If the data does fall into the wrong hands, worker identities could be stolen, or competing firms could poach talent by knowing how much employees earn.
“One of the lessons of the last few years for both the federal government and the private sector alike, is that large—seemingly innocuous—data sets are attractive to our adversaries, especially when paired with other data sets at speed and scale,” Lisa Monaco, former White House homeland security adviser and co-chair of the Aspen Institute’s cybersecurity group, said. Agencies should think about the data sets they hold and ask whether the information is “being treated consistent with the risk, should it be exposed,” she said.
Drilling Down on Data
The data at stake is a comprehensive breakdown of a company’s workforce, collected establishment by establishment, showing information that drills down to the individual worker’s demographic. Employee data is organized into categories of race, sex, ethnicity, and one of 10 job categories, and then sorted into a designated pay band, one of 12. The result is a grid that shows an individual establishment’s intersectional workforce diversity.
That grid is then turned over to the EEOC for analysis, and to help the agency target outreach efforts intended to limit discrimination.
To its credit, the EEOC doesn’t have glaring cybersecurity or data security problems, according to a government-ordered fiscal year 2018 audit report. The agency “generally had sound information security controls” but could further protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of its systems, the Brown & Co. report said, referring to the commission’s Federal Information Security Modernization Act compliance.
The EEOC, though, can’t let its guard down, former officials said. “As an agency that deals with protecting data related to complaints against an enterprise as well as enterprise survey data, the EEOC needs to have a strong security program,” Joe Stuntz, who served on President Barack Obama’s OMB cyberpolicy team, said.
Employers submit the information annually using the Employer Information Report EEO-1. The EEOC didn’t request the pay data from employers when the EEO-1 report opened on March 18, but that doesn’t mean the agency won’t ask for the data before the submission deadline of May 31.
The agency issued a statement saying additional details are forthcoming but didn’t comment on whether the data will be collected before the deadline.
GOP members and attorneys submitting the information have expressed concerns about how the data will be secured and kept confidential, while Democrats and pay equity advocates have called those concerns false.
“Federal laws prohibiting pay discrimination must be vigorously enforced, but the proposed changes to the EEO-1 will do nothing to prevent pay discrimination while putting employees’ confidential pay data at risk,” Committee for Education and Labor GOP spokesperson Marty Boughton said.
On the other hand, an aide on the Democratic side of the committee told Bloomberg Law that no security concerns have been raised.
And Stuntz, now vice president of cybersecurity at One World Identity, said there are risks any time data is collected, but for EEO-1 data, much of it is already available online through other means.
A cybercriminal may “have an easier time using the available websites, like LinkedIn and GlassDoor, versus trying to get the data out of the EEOC,” Stuntz said. This social media data can be used in combination with other public information online to steal employees’ identities, he said.
Hacking Threats
Pay equity advocates say the EEOC has a long history of keeping such information private. It has collected workforce data since 1966 without issue, they said.
But that was long before the real-threat of government hacking attacks. The Office of Personnel Management was hit with a data breach in 2015 that exposed the Social Security numbers of 21.5 million people. In a separate 2015 attack, personnel records of 4.2 million current and former government employees were also stolen. The OMB still deals with fall-out from the breach, and other agencies need to step up to prevent future attacks.
“There’s a lot of work to be done across the government to adequately protect information,” said. Michael Bahar, co-lead of Evershields Sutherland’s global cybersecurity and privacy practice. Agencies are facing “state-of-the-art threats and need state-of-the-art protections,” he said.
Even if parts of the data are leaked, there’s enough information on the dark web already leaked from major hacking attacks against private and public-sector organizations. For example, a cybercriminal could use EEO-1 data combined with credit reporting bureau data to steal the identities of thousands of workers.
“The more information that is out there about you, the more chances there is a complete profile out there as well,” Bahar, former deputy security adviser to the National Security Council in the Obama administration, said.
Cybercriminals will use complete consumer profiles to launch identity theft campaigns, cybersecurity pros and former government officials said. There’s also a concern that foreign adversaries may use this information against companies to extract trade secrets and other confidential company and employee data, they said.
Competitors may also want to get in on the action.
“If I’m a competitor, and I’m trying to poach from your company, and I somehow get my hands on this data, and you’re the only person of that race and gender combination in the EEO-1 category at that location, I could easily figure out what it would take to lure you away from your current employer and over to my company,” said an attorney with experience preparing the data reports.
But, if the EEOC can keep the information secure, it is a worthwhile effort to combat pay disparity issues, Bahar said.
Security v. Litigation Concerns
Data breaches may be one concern for agencies trying to keep the EEO-1 data private. Freedom of Information Act requests, especially routed through other agencies, may be more worrisome for agencies.
“The EEOC can be hacked,” the Institute for Workplace Equality’s David Cohen said in an email. The agency has partnered with outside researchers to provide full access to EEO-1 reports in the past, he said.
“What sort of confidentiality agreements do they have with the researcher? What happens if the researchers release the data, either on purpose or on accident” Cohen said.
However, there is no evidence that data has been hacked “by a foreign government, or intentionally or unintentionally disclosed by a current or former EEOC employee,” attorney Alissa Horvitz of Roffman Horvitz told Bloomberg Law. FOIA requests are much more of a concern than security issues, she said.
The pay data collected by the EEOC, as well as the already collected workforce data, can be requested via FOIA through the Labor Department’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, according to the agency’s website. Some of the information might be subject to exemption, but it also might be readily turned over.
When soliciting the data through an OFCCP FOIA request, the companies in question are allowed “an opportunity to raise objections to the release of information pursuant to Exemption 4,” which protects “trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person that is privileged or confidential.”
But with the new pay information requirement, employers can no longer shun demands for pay data under the guise of burden, former EEOC director Lawrence Lorber told Bloomberg Law, even in litigation proceedings related to equal pay. He is now a partner with Seyfarth Shaw.
“Now you’re not going to be able to say we don’t have it, and we’re not going to put together a report,” he said.

Homomorphic Encryption Homomorphic encryption alludes to encryption where plain texts and cipher texts both are treated with an equivalent algebraic function. Homomorphic Encryption allows server to do operation on encrypted data without knowing the original plaintext.
Fig. 2 A general framework for data protection over cloud Homomorphic encryption allows complex mathematical operations to be performed on encrypted data without using the original data. For plaintexts X1 and X2 and corresponding ciphertext Y1 and Y2, a Homomorphic encryption scheme permits the computation of X1 Θ X2 from Y1 and Y2 without using P1 Θ P2.The cryptosystem is multiplicative or additive Homomorphic depending upon the operation Θ which can be multiplication or addition. Existing System A Homomorphic encryption has different Homomorphic schemes according to its properties:

This isn't exactly a CCNA-V or CCVP question, but it's certainly related. For those who have done these sorts of large deployments your input would be greatly appreciated.
Essentially, I want to deploy 35 phones for our internal staff and another 15 phones for our half dozen tenants. The tenants won't need any access to our internal network so that means one big VLAN for our 25-person staff (25 phones for each staff member + 10 phones for conference rooms, kitchen, storage, etc. = 35), and probably an individual VLAN for each of the 6 tenants (2-3 phones per tenant) since none of them actually work with each other none of them would want packets broadcast on their network from another tenant. Chime in here if I'm already off-base.
We have two 3560G switches which are PoE capable, and right now we're thinking of going with 7942G phones. Since they're only FastEthernet though I'm wondering if it'll be worth it to go for the 7945G phones with Gigabit as a long-term investment since we very rarely upgrade phones (as in every 15 years). In fact, since we do a lot of file copying from PC to NAS, and since our PC would be plugged directly into the 7942G phones, limiting ourselves to 100Mbps seems pretty silly if we're only talking an extra $3000 for GbE as a 15 year investment.
We'd also be upgrading our router to a 2921 with Call Manager Express, which as far as I know goes up to 100 phones, more than enough for the foreseeable future (worse case we can upgrade to Call Manager Business Edition in the far off future). Our service provider for these 50 extensions is saying they offer SIP trunking and potential for 48 simultaneous calls (VoIP compressed via G.729 to 32Kbps over 24 T1 channels). Incoming calls are free, outgoing minutes uncertain right now but the final cost ends up being just $500/month which seems crazy good. I am concerned about uptime and since this is a router with no redundancy should it fail, and since our phones haven't gone down really, well, ever in 20+ years, redundant links (hell, even POTS lines?) would be in order. Though I'm not certain about our failover service options yet.
Sounds like a cool network. You will probably want to invest in a Unity Express for voicemail and IVR.
If you have a T1 line, a physical T1 line, that should be pretty reliable -- no need for more. I have no idea how reliable the SIP provider or your ISP is, but a T1 should be pretty dependable.
If you don't want to invest in gigabit phones, you can run 2 network lines to each desk and keep them seperate. On the other hand, gigabit is good, but what do your users do? Gigabit won't make Microsoft Outlook run any faster So it depends on what they do with it.
In 1998, Gig was released. So it has been 12 years since this revolution, and already 10 gig and more are being implemented. So 15 years from now I think if you don't have gig networking you would probably be behind the criteria.
Then again, it depends on the need of your network. But if I was investing for 15 years, I would get gig.

Every few months, someone comes out with a clever attack on LastPass. In January, for example, Sean Cassidy released his LostPass phishing attack that “allows an attacker to steal a LastPass user’s email, password, and even two-factor auth code, giving full access to all passwords and documents stored in LastPass.”
LostPass is a clever phishing attack. Essentially an attacker creates a fake notice that a user’s LastPass session has expired and asks them to log in. The fake version is visually identical to the actual notice LastPass uses, and even technical users would be unable to distinguish between the real notice and a phishing attempt.
LastPass responded by removing the button in its session expiration notices (so users will, presumably, be able to better distinguish fake versions which would need to have some sort of “login” button). LastPass also now requires users to go through an email-based process to approve logins from any previously unknown device or IP address.
LastPass also points the finger at Google, saying it identified these sorts of problems with the way Chrome displays notifications, but that its complaints fell on deaf ears,
A point that was only briefly raised in Cassidy’s research was the role that the browser itself plays in this attack. LastPass has encouraged Google for years to provide a way to avoid using the browser viewport for notifications. As a true solution to this threat, Google should release infobars in Chrome that give extensions the capability to do proper notifications outside the DOM. You can see our plea for this back in January 2012 with still no resolution; please star this issue to help us raise awareness.
It is good that people like Cassidy are out there looking for ways to get around LastPass’ security, and also good that LastPass generally responds to these sort of attacks much more quickly and effectively than a lot of companies. Every time a vulnerability in LastPass is found, people I know ask me whether they should still use LastPass, and my answer so far has always been “yes.”
So far the vulnerabilities that have been found in LastPass are of the sort that I still feel far more secure using it to manage my passwords than using some other password manager or (even worse) some other method for creating and managing the passwords to the dozens of services I have credentials for.

Meridian wowed us at CES 2015 with its MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) audio demos. This year, MQA is taking a big step towards getting its high-quality audio technology into people’s hands, announcing deals with the Scandinavian music-download store 2L and with audiophile equipment manufacturers Auralic, Aurender, and Bluesound.
MQA is a new encoding and playback technology that promises to deliver studio-master-quality recordings in files that are small enough to be streamed and downloaded. The “Authenticated” part of the name stems from a digital fingerprint embedded in the file attesting that the recording artist, recording engineer, or producer certifies that the track was sourced from the original studio-master recording.
You’ll need an MQA-compatible player to decode the tracks at their highest quality, but that player can be either hardware or software—provided the device you’re playing it on has the horsepower to run the decoder. If you don’t have an MQA player, you’ll still be able to play the track back on just about any device with at least CD quality.
Bluesound
The Bluesound Powernode 2 is combination power amplifier and wireless music streamer.
2L will be the first place where music fans will be able to buy MQA music files. The Scandinavian music label, which has garnered 23 Grammy nominations, is considered to be one of the premiere download sites for audiophiles and music lovers who demand the highest-quality recordings.
“Meeting Bob Stuart [MQA’s creator] and discovering MQA has been a total revelation,” said 2L founder Morten Lindberg. “I have spent many hours with Bob listening to original recordings and being constantly amazed by the incredible sense of space and clarity brought by MQA. The end-to-end process allows us to more accurately capture the original sound and to deliver it perfectly all the way through to music lovers.” 2L’s curated catalog is eclectic, so the number of albums that people will be able to acquire in MQA format might not be very large at first. That should change quickly, however, as the digital music stores 7digital and Japan’s HQM, and the Tidal music-streaming service make good on their commitments to bring MQA music to consumers.
Auralic
The Auralic Aries is a high-end streaming bridge that can fit in between your home network and your other high-end audio components.
On the playback side, MQA announced partnerships today with audiophile equipment manufacturers Auralic, Aurender, and Bluesound. Bluesound’s MQA-compatible products will include the Node 2, Powervault 2, Pulse Flex, Pulse Mini, Vault 2. All of Bluesound’s legacy components will also support MQA, presumably after a firmware update. MQA will be available on all three of Auralic’s streaming bridges: The Aries, Aries LE, and Aries Mini.
[ Further reading: The best smart sprinkler controllers ]
The support of these high-end audio partners will help MQA deliver on its promise to become an integral part in the home-audio chain, whether the component is a DAC, a media server, or wireless speakers. MQA also announced that several other boutique audio brands have joined its official supplier list: Berkeley Audio, dCS, Ixion, and Kripton. Each of these companies intends to integrate MQA into its product line, as have the previously announced Meridian Audio, Mytek, Onkyo, and Pioneer. And to demonstrate that MQA can operate even on portable music players, HTC will be at MQA’s booth showing MQA running on an HTC One A9 smartphone.

Files that you stipulate as trusted will not become sandboxed. If a process is sandboxed and you stipulatee do not isolate again the file is added to the trusted list.
Processes that are considered safe will generate appropriate alerts for resource access for as long as you do not stipulate that CIS should create a rule by checking ‘remember this’ If you have ‘create rules for safe applications’ checked, then no additional alerts are created, but resource access control list entries are automatically made by CIS for the process. These are generic ‘allow’ rules.
If you do NOT have ‘create rules for safe applications’ checked, then for each resourc access requested CIS will generate an alert. In the former case, the resource access control will become ‘allow’, in the latter the resources access control will remain ‘ask’. For example; ‘Protected Files and Folders’ will automatically become ‘allow’ and no additinal alerts will be generated for that resource, otherwise each incident of file folder acces will generate an alert and depending on your response a specific resource access control list entry will be made for that specific file / folder the process requests access to; the resource type will remain ‘ask’ and addiitional alerts can be generated if other file / folders are requested to be accessed.
Which feature will add the signature back to my safe list? I will disable this setting.
P.S. Thank you Chiron and WxMan1 for that information, it helped, however I’m not done yet. After somebody answers these questions I will ask about the exclusions for Execution Control Settings, then, the Antivirus exclusions.
Chiron494 September 20, 2012, 11:54pm #8
CIS will automatically add the file to the safe list.
I believe this will be either through the TVL, which cannot easily be disabled (but can once V6 comes out). You will also need to disable all cloud lookups.
That said, doing so will drastically impact the usability of CIS.
If you remove your app from the trusted files list, but the app is distributed by the Trusted Vendor program, as soon as you run the app: presto boingo right back into Trusted Files. This is not bad!
What that does is prevent the app from being sandboxed. What you want is create a leash for the app: create a D+ rule and implement custom policy and ensure that all resource access controls are set to ‘ask’.
Now, anytime the app wants access to any system resouce: an alert will be generated. Certain things are required for the app to function. If you deny the app access to whatever arbitrary system resouce, the app won’t run right (or might outright crash). A good example of this would be if the app has file open functionality.
For the file open dialogue to function, you’ll probably need to grant access to Explorer.exe outright (as executable), or access Explorer in memory. This might cascade alerts, in that Explorer may want to hook the app in memory, or run a DLL as EXE, etc. any one of which may end up hooking back to the app in some fashion. Unless you have sincere belief in being compromised, this is all normal processing for that app. Once you’ve estabhlisehd the security baseline for the app - allow & remember this - the app will run just ducky (and never alert you again).
That being said, if you’re in ‘paranoid’ mode and a ‘safe’ app asks for access to any resource, you’ll get an alert. If you allow the access, the app runs off happy as a pea’s pod (but no rule gets created). If, instead, you remember this, then a general rule for the app gets created where ALL resource access controls are ‘ask’ and the specific resouce within whatever arbitrary control mgegersdorfer September 21, 2012, 9:02am #10
WxMan1, unfortunately, that does not work. I have a COMODO signature in the Trusted Software Vendors list and a Defense+ Rule. I explicitly created a rule, which prevents COMODO Dragon accessing some protected files and folders. However CIS still lets me access those files and folder through COMODO Dragon. I also don’t have Dragon in the Trusted Files list.
I tried the following whilst in Safe Mode with GIMP but only got some of the job done. I found the best way for me is. disable both the “Perform cloud based behavior analysis of unrecognized files” and “Automatically scan unrecognized files in the cloud”, also make sure the file you want to secure is deleted off the Trusted files list and delete any signature for that file off the Trusted Software Vendors list. Then create the Defense+ Rule, then load the app, CIS immediately displays Defense+ Alerts, letting me configure the rules manually. However, when I add a rule which prevents access to a group of protected files and folders, it does not work.
e.g. CIS lets me access my image files on my USB through GIMP, even though the prevent rule is there. I don’t want this.
It does not work even in Paranoid Mode. I want it to work under Safe Mode. How can I fix this?
P.S. I should mention, CIS will prevent writing, but does not prevent reading. Might this be a bug?

Many of us always find some secure USB flash drive integrated with encryption technology such as Cosair Padlock series. But do you think this really necessary if you own the lock-shaped USB flash drive?
It’s really great idea. Undoubtedly, the USB flash drive exploit the most original and more efficient hardware encryption. All your data will be locked by the metal lock. You think whether a saw or a cracking tool can be more easily available in Internet Age.
However, the lock-shaped USB flash drive is only a design concept by dialog05. It’s unclear when the USB flash drive can be available.

Encryption technologies have been playing a crucial role in data security and privacy. It provides an added layer of protection to the data by converting it into unreadable code, which a party with access to the decryption key can only read. As technology evolves, encryption has become increasingly important in protecting sensitive information from cyber threats such as identity theft, data breaches, ransomware attacks, and cyber espionage.
Encryption technologies safeguard data when transferred or stored in emails or cloud storage services. In transit encryption protects the information while it’s being transmitted between servers, devices, or networks, making it more difficult for intruders to intercept and read the information. On the other hand, at-rest encryption secures any data stored on a device or server, ensuring that it remains unreadable if it falls into the wrong hands.

1. $\;\;$ the $\:$ time $\:$ function is efficiently computable 2. $\;\;$ [pubkey,privkey] $\:$ pairs are generated with $\:$ time(privkey) = 0 3. $\;\;$ when encrypting under $\:$ pubkey $\:$, $\:$ the encryptor chooses a value of t in the appropriate range ${}$4. $\;\;$ given privkey0 and t such that $\:$ time(privkey0) < t $\:$ and t is in the appropriate range,
One approach can be found in this paper by Canetti, Halevi and Katz. To summarize the approach:
This generate a tree of private keys; from a node, you can generate private keys downwards (to child nodes), but you cannot compute upwards (to the parent nodes). This achieves forward secrecy by generating child nodes and erasing parent nodes.
The public key can be used to encrypt to any private key node; if we have the private key for that node (or we can generate it because we have one of its parents), we can decrypt the message; if the private key for that node has already been erased, we cannot.
The size of the public key is constant (that is, independent of the number of time steps supported).
The size of an encrypted message is $O(\log t)$ (where $t$ is the number of time steps supported).
The size of the private key for the entire system is $O(\log t)$; this includes the number of private keys nodes stored in memory at any one time.
Encryption and decryption both take $O(\log t)$ time.
The algorithm uses a bilinear mapping that meets the BDH (Bilinear Diffie-Hellman) assumption.

Mozilla is working on a major overhaul of the Firefox mobile user interface for Android. The developers are transitioning away from XUL—the cross-platform user interface toolkit used by Firefox on the desktop—in favor of native widgets. This major design change will offer smoother performance, better platform integration, and a look and feel that is a bit more consistent with the rest of the Android environment.
We looked at the new native Firefox mobile tablet interface when it surfaced in September for Honeycomb devices. Mozilla’s mobile team is currently preparing to deliver a similar native interface for the smartphone flavor of the browser. It shares visual style of the tablet implementation, but is designed to fit well on a phone-sized screen.
The new interface was developed in an experimental Firefox mobile branch called Birch. The changes aren’t just skin deep—the transition to native widgets involved some significant architectural changes in addition to bringing a new look and feel. Mozilla is seeking volunteers to help test the overhauled version of the browser before the changes are rolled out in a stable release.
I conducted some hands-on tests with the latest Birch nightly build, which is available from Mozilla’s FTP server. I downloaded the APK and side-loaded the application on my Nexus One smartphone. It installs as “Nightly” and can be used alongside the stable Android Market version of Firefox mobile. It needs more work before it will be ready for day-to-day use, but it seems like a compelling step forward for Firefox on Android.
The user interface has been dramatically simplified and streamlined. The distinctive sidebars that slide out from the left and right in the current stable version are gone. In the new native user interface, tab management is done with a simple menu that is accessed from an arrow on the left-hand side of the navigation bar.
Although I’m a bit sad to see Mozilla abandon the nifty thumbnail-based tab switcher, there are arguably some usability advantages to the new approach. In particular, the spacing makes it easier to hit the close button for a tab and reduces the risk of hitting the close button by accident. I think the placement of the tab menu button also helps make tab management more discoverable.
When you tap the page title at the top of the screen, the browser will give you a URL box. It displays a list of bookmark and history items that will be filtered as you type, with AwesomeBar-style completion. This interface also shows tabs for quickly navigating through your bookmarks and recent history.
Most of the peripheral functionality has been relocated to the native Android menu, which is accessible by tapping the standard hardware button. The reload and forward functions are located in the menu. There is no back function exposed through the user interface-the user can simply hit the phone’s physical back button.
The menu also has buttons for bookmarking and sharing a page. Bookmarks are completely flat now—you can boomark and unbookmark a page, but there doesn’t appear to be any way to manually organize bookmarks or even choose custom names. It’s not clear if the new limitations in the bookmark system are intentional or if the feature simply hasn’t been fully implemented yet.
The old tabbed sheet with preferences, add-ons, and downloads that used to be accessible from the gear button is gone. The add-on manager is accessible from the overflow section of the menu and opens as a separate tab. The actual add-ons interface hasn’t been fully implemented yet. The preferences have been moved to their own native Android sheet which is also accessible from the menu overflow.
The Gecko-based embedded HTML renderer still has some minor issues. For example, any physical contact with the rendering area is interpreted as text selection, which made the browser awkward to use. Scrolling through a page was fairly smooth, but pinch-zooming was sluggish and unpredictable. The browser also doesn’t appear to have support yet for reflowing text after zooming.
Despite the glitches, the general direction of the new browser is promising. The extensibility of a XUL-based user interface makes great sense on desktop computers, but it’s arguably just wasted overhead in an Android version of the browser. Moving to native widgets on Android will make mobile Firefox more competitive—it greatly reduces the startup time and also reportedly decreases the memory footprint. The difference in startup performance was really noticeable during my tests.
It’s important to remember that my test was conducted with a nightly build, so it’s not intended to be fully functional yet. The problems I encountered all appear to be things that are fixable, so we can expect to see a lot of improvements before this new interface lands in a stable release.
Mozilla’s quality assurance team is planning a special test day tomorrow (November 11) for the new native mobile interface to help identify technical issues. As we have said on several previous occasions, participating in the Firefox QA process is a great way for non-developers to contribute to the project. You can find more information about how to obtain and test the nightly from the Mozilla wiki.

Trade bodies representing the construction industry have written to the government to call for the implementation of reverse charge VAT to be delayed for at least six months.
Addressed to Chancellor Sajid Javid, the letter cites a number of reasons to justify the call for delaying the changes to the VAT system.
These include coinciding with the UK's date to leave the EU, particularly if there is no trade deal in place, which is looking increasingly likely.
Introducing reverse charge VAT will additionally place another burden on construction companies faced with other challenges such as material price rises, increased pension contributions and skills shortages.
Additional impacts could include lower productivity, reduced cashflow and companies forced out of business, the letter says.
The introduction of reverse charge VAT by HMRC will have particular effect on smaller businesses in the supply chain, with companies registered for VAT and within the Construction Industry Scheme no longer required to "pay VAT to the majority of their subcontractors".
VAT will only be paid to companies supplying labour and those that sell building materials, such as merchant businesses.
Federation of Master Builders (FMB) chief executive Brian Berry said: "The fact that 15 of the leading construction trade bodies have come together to speak to the government with one voice on this issues shows the extent to which we are concerned.
"We urge the government to rethink the timing of these changes and announce a delay of at least six months," he said.
Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) head of Legal and Commercial Services Debbie Petford said her organisation is continuing to advise its members and help them prepare for the change.
Electrical Contractors' Association (ECA) chief executive officer Steve Bratt said: "The government needs to urgently reconsider the timing of their reverse VAT introduction.
"With insolvencies already at such a high level, and a no-deal Brexit on the horizon, these changes could hit business cashflow at a pivotal time for industry."

Of course, formalisation and digitisation weren't supposedly the original objectives.
Those buzzwords started being thrown around only when it became obvious that most of the cancelled notes would return.
Moreover, if the government had actually been serious about digitisation, it would have spent the past two years putting in place an ecosystem to promote and support that digitisation.
Instead, we live in a country where a data protection law still doesn't exist.
Large chunks of India continue to be hobbled in terms of the physical infrastructure required to support digitisation.
India has among the world's slowest 4G data transfer speeds -- about a third lower than the global average.
It also has one of the highest rates of mandated shutdowns.
There is an Internet shutdown somewhere in India every third day or so.
Local administrations and the law enforcement machinery respond to any hint of potential law and order disruption by cutting off data networks.
These blame for these issues can be laid squarely at the government's door.
It has displayed no urgency whatsoever in drafting a data protection Bill, and by following it up by using its parliamentary majority and whatever equity it may possess, to pass such a Bill.
Instead, it chose to waste a great deal of time arguing that privacy was not a fundamental right.
Nor has the government cracked the whip, or considered deploying a carrot and stick policy to encourage telecom service providers to build faster networks, with higher capacity.
It could, for instance, have offered better spectrum licensing terms for networks with higher speeds, and at the same time, it could have threatened service providers with punishments if they didn't meet minimum standards.
Where the attitude of the administration in relations to shutdowns is concerned, the less said the better.
Network shutdowns are ridiculously easy to mandate in the prevalent culture and deployed as a default option, rather than a last resort.
As a result of this lackadaisical attitude, it's looking odds-on that there won't be a data protection law on the statute books before this edition of the Lok Sabha is dissolved.
A draft might be ready by the Winter Session of Parliament, but that session is bound to be marked by massive disruptions and dominated by the fallout of the five assembly elections scheduled in the next few weeks.
The Budget Session will be even worse in terms of noise-to-work ratio because the general election will be looming ever closer.
If those two windows are missed, we'll have to wait until the next government is installed before a data protection Bill is tabled.
That implies another eight months, at the very least, of limbo, when it comes to data protection.
That limbo has enabled all sorts of businesses that would be illegal in countries that do have data protection laws.
India's politicians have made a great deal of noise about Facebook and Cambridge Analytica misusing data.
The fact is, homegrown data mining outfits -- 'Jhumritilaiya Analytica' and 'Kakinada Analytica' if you like -- have misused Indian data to a far greater extent.
The ongoing series of elections campaigns will be based on heavy-duty data mining.
There are multiple outfits blatantly offering data, linking voter IDs to Aadhaar numbers, mobile numbers, credit card and debit card usage, and social media accounts.
For a small fee -- about Rs 10 per voter seems to be the going rate -- they will push out messages designed to micro-target and influence voters.
During a recent media investigation, some of these 'miners' made tall claims about swinging 5% to 6% of voters through their messaging.
Tall claims aside, mining data of this type should be illegal.

In Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5, you could perform most of your Exchange directory administration chores with relative ease if you had a good spreadsheet and knew how to use the Microsoft Exchange Administrator program's GUI. However, Exchange 2000 Server depends more on the tools available to support Active Directory (AD), so some old tricks and tools are no longer available. For example, the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins used to administer Exchange and AD don't offer a bulk import/export utility; therefore, you can't use a directory export/import operation combined with Microsoft Excel to mass-manipulate mailbox properties.
As time goes on, both Microsoft and third-party developers will likely provide tools that let you perform many tasks. Meanwhile, let's look at how you can begin to build solutions for directory administration.
Fortunately, one of AD's core protocols is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). Exchange 2000 uses LDAP in a variety of ways, and you'll soon find that LDAP can be a heavyweight tool if you understand how to use it. Let's look at what LDAP is and how you can use it to fill the administrative void in Exchange 2000 and even simplify some of Exchange Server 5.5's more difficult and tedious tasks.
What Is LDAP?
LDAP is a slimmed-down version of the X.500 Directory Access Protocol (DAP) specification. X.500 DAP is rarely used because it has an incredible amount of overhead associated with the functionality you must implement to be X.500 compliant. LDAP version 3 (LDAPv3) defines a standard way to query and update a directory. LDAP specifies the syntax to let you query directories (e.g., AD, the Exchange Server 5.5 directory) to retrieve attribute and configuration information and create and update information within that directory.
Table 1, page 2, defines some of the latest Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request for Comments (RFCs) for LDAP. The Microsoft Developers Network (MSDN) and the Microsoft Windows 2000 Resource Kit have quite a bit of information about how to use LDAP with Microsoft products, so you don't necessarily need to read the RFCs to use LDAP. The RFCs will, however, give you a deeper understanding of how LDAP works and make it easier for you to define LDAP queries and troubleshoot LDAP problems.
When you're building tools, Microsoft recommends that you access the LDAP API through Active Directory Service Interfaces. ADSI is a set of COM interfaces that give you access to a directory through a set of providers. One of these providers, the LDAP provider, gives you access to the Exchange Server 5.5 Directory Store or AD. Because ADSI is a set of COM interfaces, you can use any COM-capable programming language, such as VBScript, to access the directory. Figure 1 shows the relationship between your application, ADSI, LDAP, and the directories.
If you're working with an Exchange 2000 deployment, you already have access to ADSI because Windows 2000 includes ADSI. If you haven't begun to move to Win2K, you need to install ADSI 2.5 on the systems on which you'll run the applications you want to work with. You can download ADSI from http://www.microsoft.com/adsi. The installation is simple: The only prompt is to accept or decline the license agreement; no configuration is necessary.
Specify an LDAP search string to locate a point in the directory hierarchy or a specific object within the directory.
Read the attributes of one or more directory objects.
Set, modify, or use the attribute information to perform tasks such as create a new mailbox, change the phone numbers in a department, or generate a report about each person's mailbox quota settings.
Let's look at the details of each step.
Specify the LDAP search string. With an LDAP search, you can access one item or all items in the directory. An LDAP search can have four elements: searchbase, filter, selection, and scope. The searchbase, filter, and selection elements are mandatory; the scope element is optional. You must use semicolons to separate the elements. No spaces can precede or follow the semicolons. For example, in the LDAP search string
the search base LDAP://server/ou=Site,o= Org, for example, defines the starting point for the search (e.g., the root of your organization, a specific site or container, even a specific object within the directory). The filter (objectClass=Person) lets you define what objects you want the search to return. You usually use a filter to select a specific group of objects (e.g., all mailboxes). The selection determines what attribute information the query returns. In this example, cn,distinguished name,Home-MDB, returns the display name and distinguished name of the objects matching the query and the distinguished name of the Information Store (IS) that holds each object. Finally, the scope Subtree determines how the search progresses from the search base.
The choices for the scope are base, one level, or subtree. As Figure 2 shows, a search scope of Base causes the query to look only in or at the object the base component of the LDAP search string specifies; a one-level search searches the objects immediately below the base but doesn't include the base; and a subtree search searches the base and all objects below the base. The sidebar "LDAP Query Idiosyncrasies" provides some information about LDAP object names and other items you need to know about when you use LDAP and define your searches.
The structure of both the Exchange Server 5.5 Directory Store and AD is a hierarchy that the directory schema describes. Some attributes designate objects as containers; which make them capable of holding other objects and thus forming the hierarchy. Objects that aren't containers are referred to as leaf nodes. You can see this structure if you look at the hierarchy in Exchange Administrator. The Configuration object is a container that holds the Site Addressing object (a leaf node) and the Connections container. The Connections container then holds objects such as the Internet Mail Service (IMS) and Site connectors.
For LDAP to search, it needs to know which directory server to query and where in that directory to start looking. The search base provides this information. The search base usually takes a form similar to one of the following examples:
The most complex and cryptic-looking part of an LDAP query is usually the filter. The filter specifies what you're trying to reference in the directory when your base doesn't specify a leaf-node object. The LDAP query from Exchange 2000 that generates the default address list, which Figure 3 shows, is a good example of a complex LDAP filter.
Although this string looks intimidating, it is fairly simple when you unwind it. In their most basic form, all LDAP filters have an attribute, a value, and some comparison operation enclosed in parentheses. For example, in Exchange Server 5.5, an LDAP filter
returns only one object, my mailbox.
Read the object's attributes. For most uses, LDAP filters must specify some combination of attributes and values to make the search meaningful. To specify attributes and values, the filter encloses each attribute and value set in a separate set of parentheses and uses another operator to logically combine the results. The most frequently used operators are AND (&), OR (|), and NOT (!).
For example, if you want to select all mailboxes in the Washington, D.C., area (i.e., Maryland and Virginia in addition to the District of Columbia), you create the LDAP filter (&(objectClass=organizationalPerson)(|(st=DC)(st=MD)(st=VA)
In this filter, (objectClass=organizational Person) specifies that only mailbox objects are selected; st is an LDAP definition for a state or province. When these terms are in parentheses and preceded by the | operator, the expression evaluates to "return any object that has one of these three values." Finally, surrounding the objectClass and state expressions with the & operator says that both the objectClass and one of the specified state expressions must be true to be included in the results list.
With regard to Exchange 2000's LDAP filter for the Global Address List, the GAL holds four types of objects: public folders, groups, contacts, and users. Each AD object has a category and a class attribute. You use the combination of these two attributes to determine an object's type. For public folders and groups, you can easily determine the object's type by looking at the objectCategory value. Because Exchange can contain Contacts as well as mail-enabled and non-mail-enabled users, which all have a person objectCategory, you must also examine the objectClass attribute.
If you stretch out the GAL's LDAP filter so that almost every logical and comparison operation is on a separate line, as Figure 4 shows, interpretation becomes easier. As you can see from the lines that define the Object Class attribute (objectClass), that attribute divides the person category into users and contacts. To determine whether a mailbox is enabled, you evaluate the homeMDB and msExchHomeServerName attributes.
The lines at callout A in Figure 4 select the mailbox-enabled and non-mailbox-enabled users, the lines at callout B select any group or public folder items, respectively, and the lines between callout A and callout B select the contact items. After these items have been selected from the directory, the & operation on the first line says that these items must also include a mailnickname (or email alias in Exchange Server 5.5 terminology) to be included in the LDAP query's results.
To define additional address lists or to modify the default address lists, you can change the LDAP filter. In the unlikely event that you want to add each computer object with a mailnickname to the GAL, insert (objectCategory=Computer) after callout B.
Use the attribute information to perform tasks. Using VBScript and the LDAP principles I've discussed here, you can create utilities that use LDAP to perform tedious or difficult tasks. Recently, I was working with a group that was joining an existing Exchange organization. The staff needed to change more than 700 distribution lists (DLs) to include a prefix on the display name and to remove SMTP addresses and leave only the X.400 addresses. We couldn't use Exchange Administrator to perform an import to make these changes because the site addressing specified both an SMTP and an X.400 address. When we did an import, the site-addressing specification kept causing the SMTP address to be recreated.
Our solution was to write a script to locate and modify the DLs. Listing 1 is an abbreviated version of that script. This version only modifies the display name; I've removed the code that obtains the addresses and keeps only the X.400 address.
The first nine lines of Listing 1 set up the ADSI objects needed to make the connection to the LDAP directory. Callout A in Listing 1 builds the LDAP query for identifying the DLs, excluding any DLs that have a Trust Level (Replication-Sensitivity) set to 100. The query includes all the LDAP query parts (i.e., searchbase, filter, selection, scope), separated by semicolons. The result of this query is a set of Exchange distinguished directory names that uniquely identify each DL. The core of the program uses these directory names to retrieve the objects to modify.
The next section loops through each DL object that the LDAP query returned. The code at callout B makes up the core of the program that performs the interesting LDAP update operations. The GetObject function moves the DL's attributes into a buffer. The put operation modifies the attribute, and SetInfo moves the changes from the buffer back into the directory, where they become permanent.
For More Information
I've given you some new information for using LDAP to make your systems better. If you want to begin to use LDAP through scripting, you can obtain more information from many sources. For VBScript examples, you can begin with the Win2K and BackOffice 4.5 resource kits. Both kits have examples that use LDAP to retrieve and update information. The sidebar "LDAP Resources" provides a few additional links.
If you decide to use LDAP to modify your directory settings, be careful. If you're not sure what you're doing, you can easily disable or corrupt your directory to the point where your only recourse will be a restore. However, if you use these techniques successfully, you can make your life easier.

Visa-based entrance to the United States may soon depend on whether you are willing to give authorities your social media passwords, as part of President Donald Trump’s “extreme vetting” policy, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said in a congressional hearing on Tuesday, according to NBC News.
Those who refuse would be turned back.
“When someone says, ‘I’m from this town and this was my occupation,’ [officials] essentially have to take the word of the individual,” he said. “I frankly don’t think that’s enough, certainly President Trump doesn’t think that’s enough. So we’ve got to maybe add some additional layers.”
It was only recently that DHS announced visitors had to share their social media profiles when entering the country, as part of a stronger cybersecurity strategy. The password proposal was also considered by the Obama administration, but never moved forward.
Kelly made the comments the same day judges received arguments for Trump’s travel order to ban refugees from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Libya and Yemen. The controversial order has been perceived as a “Muslim ban” and has been blocked by a judge for now.
“It’s very hard to truly vet these people in these countries, the seven countries,” Kelly said. “But if they come in, we want to say, what websites do they visit, and give us your passwords. So we can see what they do on the internet.”
Kelly is also interested in receiving visitors’ financial records.
“We can follow the money, so to speak. How are you living, who’s sending you money?” he said. “It applies under certain circumstances, to individuals who may be involved in on the payroll of terrorist organizations.”
No final decisions have been made yet.

Expert Jacob Appelbaum’s keynote at CCC describes the deep catalog of hacks and backdoors at the NSA’s disposal.
Cryptographer, developer and activist Jacob Appelbaum took to the pages of Germany’s Der Spiegel and the keynote dais of the 30th Chaos Communication Congress this weekend to deliver a damning expose of the catalog of backdoors, monitoring programs and products that potentially have and could be compromised by the National Security Agency.
Appelbaum’s hour-long keynote, culled from top-secret agency documents provided by Edward Snowden and written about in the German publication, described the scale of surveillance the NSA has and hopes to achieve worldwide.
“Their goal is to have total surveillance of everything they’re interested in. There really is no boundary to what they want to do,” Appelbaum said. “There is only sometimes a boundary of what they are funded to do and the amount of things they are able to do at scale. They seem to do [those things] without thinking too much about it. And there are specific tactical things where they have to target a group or individual, and those things seem limited either by budgets or simply by their time.”
Appelbaum described the intricacies of the agency’s dragnet surveillance system carried out by an elite team of hackers known as the agency’s Tailored Access and Operations unit, or TAO, whose job is to break down or scale digital hurdles standing between the agency and data it wishes to collect, store and analyze, Appelbaum said. The system is threefold, starting with a passive, deep-packet inspection system known as TURMOIL that feeds data into another system called TURBINE that turns loose any number of off-the-shelf or zero-day exploits that are injected into a data stream to compromise a vulnerable machine.
At the hub is a third component known as QFIRE that Appelbaum said uses nodes known as diodes to regionally compromise home routers and other available equipment to inject attacks into packets before they reach their destination, exploiting a race condition.
“For these systems to exist, we have been kept vulnerable,” Appelbaum said, referring to the government’s practice of buying vulnerabilities and exploits from brokers under non-disclosure agreements that the vulnerabilities will be kept from the vendor in question and, as a result, never patched. “The NSA has retarded the process by which we secure the Internet because it has established a hegemony of power in secret to do these things.”
Appelbaum also showed top-secret slides and provided information from documents stolen by Snowden while working as a NSA contractor that describe a number of tools used for surveillance not only to exploit endpoints and networks, but to link contacts between targets, maintain persistence and monitor communication such as phone calls, email and Internet surfing and searches.
Appelbaum also went into more detail about the FoxAcid program, which was first described in October by Bruce Schneier in the pages of the Guardian. FoxAcid matches vulnerabilities found on a particular compromised system with any number of attacks available at the NSA’s disposal. Appelbaum exposed a number of QUANTUM-X tools that include everything from the NSA’s stockpile of zero days, to tools that tamper with security measures such as host-based intrusion detection, to man-on-the-side attacks that exploit the lack of encryption on certain Internet services. He also brought up a program called QUANTUMCOPPER which he equated to the NSA’s version of the Great Firewall of China, except it could interfere with TCP/IP and file uploads and more for the entire planet.
Appelbaum also showed slides describing compromises for server hardware from a number of vendors including Dell and Sun at the BIOS level. He explained the exploits work on a number of platforms, including Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and Sun’s Solaris UNIX OS. By name, he said Dell PowerEdge commodity servers (1850, 1950, 2850 and 2950) are vulnerable to BIOS-level attacks, and HP Proliant servers are vulnerable to another exploit that enables the agency to siphon data. All of these attackers are possible, he said, because the NSA tampers with hardware either in shipping or via physical access.
Mobile exploits were also among the trove of information in the documents, specifically targeting Apple iOS devices and Windows CE devices that allowed for complete compromise of the phones in question.
Appelbaum said the TAO unit is younger than average NSA staff and that the agency has tapped into the geek generation, actively recruiting at hacker conferences such as DefCon where Director Keith Alexander spoke two summers ago. Appelbaum wrote that the TAO unit has units in five states nationwide.
Their activities, meanwhile, have transformed the agency into the most powerful such-organization in the world, Appelbaum said, adding that the majority of U.S. legislators are not skilled enough to adequately discuss and propose solutions.
“Encrypting the Internet ends it all in a sense, but it will come back in another sense,” he said. “We need a marriage of a technical and political solution. We don’t have those two things yet so we’re stuck here. At the moment, I feel the NSA has more power than any one person or agency in the world.”

Governance definition is a critical precursor to any Zero Trust initiative. For this blog we’ve leveraged TIC 3.0 Zero Trust principles and aligned with respective NIST SP 800-207 and NIST CSF controls. Our fifth focus point is insider threat monitoring and these standards have a wealth of information aligned to this principle. The diagram below highlights the key takeaways and requirements from the standards.
Trusted Internet Connections (TIC) is a federal cybersecurity initiative to enhance network and perimeter security across the United States federal government. The TIC initiative is a collaborative effort between the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the General Services Administration (GSA).[ii] The TIC 3.0: Volume 3 Security Capabilities Handbook provides various security controls, applications and best practice for risk management in federal information systems.
NIST Cybersecurity Framework. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed the Cybersecurity Framework to address risks highlighted in the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014 with a goal to identify “a prioritized, flexible, repeatable, performance-based, and cost effective approach, including information security measures and controls that may be voluntarily adopted by owners and operators of critical infrastructure to help them identify, assess, and manage cyber risks. ”[iii] The Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity outlines these principles.
Microsoft Azure Government has developed an 8-step process to facilitate insider threat monitoring for federal information systems in Microsoft Azure which is aligned with the security monitoring principles within the TIC 3.0, NIST CSF, and NIST SP 800-207 standards. Note this process is a starting point, as insider threat programs require alignment of people, processes, policy and technology so refer to organizational requirements and respective standards for implementation. Azure has several offerings to facilitate insider threat monitoring including Azure Advanced Threat Protection, Azure Active Directory Identity Protection, Azure Information Protection, and Azure Security Center.
Azure Advanced Threat Protection is a cloud-based security solution that leverages your on-premises Active Directory signals to identify, detect, and investigate advanced threats, compromised identities, and malicious insider actions directed at your organization. *Note offerings, features, and availability may vary between government clouds, for more information see Azure Advanced Threat Protection Security Government service description.
Azure Active Directory Identity Protection is a tool that allows organizations to automate detection and remediation of identity-based risks, investigate risks using data in the portal and export risk detection data to third-party utilities for further analysis.
Labels can be applied automatically by administrators who define rules and conditions, manually by users, or a combination where users are given recommendations. *Note offerings, features, and availability may vary between government clouds, for more information see Azure Information Protection Premium Government Service Description.
Azure Security Center is a unified infrastructure security management system that strengthens the security posture of your data centers and provides advanced threat protection across your hybrid workloads in the cloud – whether they’re in Azure or not – as well as on premises.
Your Azure ATP instance is automatically named with the Azure AD initial domain name and created in the data center located closest to your Azure AD.
Click Configuration, Manage role groups, and use the Azure AD Admin Center link to manage your role groups.
Monitoring for insider threats in zero trust models requires data classification. Classification facilitates more detailed monitoring, access control and security. The following picture shows an example of Azure Information Protection in action on a user’s computer. The administrator has configured a label with rules that detect sensitive data. When a user saves a Word document that contains a credit card number, a custom tooltip that recommends the label that the administrator has configured. This label classifies the document and protects it.
After your content is classified (and optionally protected), you can then track and control how it is used. You can analyze data flows to gain insight into your business, detect risky behaviors and take corrective measures, track access to documents, prevent data leakage or misuse, and so on. For more information on getting started with Azure Information Protection, see Quickstart: Get started with Azure Information Protection in the Azure portal.
Anomalous activity is an indicator of possible insider threat activity. Security teams can leverage user baseline activity, set deviation tolerances and alert on anomalies outside respective risk tolerances. Azure ATP monitors and analyzes user activities and information across your network, such as permissions and group membership, creating a behavioral baseline for each user. Azure ATP then identifies anomalies with adaptive built-in intelligence, giving you insights into suspicious activities and events, revealing the advanced threats, compromised users, and insider threats facing your organization. Azure ATP’s proprietary sensors monitor organizational domain controllers, providing a comprehensive view for all user activities from every device.

Our internal and external penetration testing identifies cyber-security threats to your organisation, giving you awareness and understanding of the issues.
The increased frequency and sophistication of hacking techniques necessitates the continual testing of your organisation’s cyber defences to ensure your organisation is protected from the latest threats.
Our penetration testing provides the assurance you need as we test your network, devices, applications and cloud systems against the latest attack vectors.
Improve your security posture with an ISO 270001-certified company. We’ve built secure technology solutions for organisations in the business, government, education and not-for-profit sectors. Focus on what you do best while we protect you.
CT’s cyber multi-stage maturity assessment provides an evaluation of your organisation’s security protocols and practices to help you measure and improve your cybersecurity posture and preparedness.
Download our assessment now to determine your organisation’s level of cyber maturity.
Phishing attacks use fraudulent emails, text messages, instant messages and websites to steal personal information from users, such as passwords, bank account details, and credit card numbers.
Malware is software designed to damage or disable computers and computer systems, often to hold your systems and data for ransom. Attackers install it on a device through covert methods or encourage someone to click on a phishing email link to initiate malware installation inside your organisation.
Denial of Service (DoS) makes a device or network unavailable to users by flooding the target with so much traffic it crashes.
Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attacks leverage a middle man to intercept information between two devices to read or modify information sent over the network.
Brute force attacks gain unauthorised access to a computer or other electronic device. The attacker tries many passwords or passphrases to get the correct answer to force their way into your systems.
Zero-day exploits leverage unknown vulnerabilities in software or hardware. Attackers discover these vulnerabilities and exploit them before the software developers become aware of them and fix them.
How to prevent cyber threats?
Like most threats, prevention is better (and a lot more affordable) than the cure, and fortunately, there are numerous ways to prevent malicious attacks on your organisation’s systems.
Encouraging staff awareness of cyber security best practices and following the Essential eight guidelines provided by the AASD and ACSC can prevent an estimated 85% of breaches.
Utilising professional cyber security solutions, including firewalls, anti-virus and malware software, and repeated end-user training can ensure you are protected from all forms of cyber attack.

We get asked this question a lot, for multiple languages.
It's far to complex for one person to write an effective antivirus. Entire companies are based around the technologies employing teams of programmers & beta testers. It isn't as simple as reading a file & determining if the file is a virus. One would need the understanding of how computers work at an Operating System & Networking level, possibly even file systems (such as Fat32/NTFS) in order to begin to code a program to automatically perform the detection.
It is possible, but not without the human understanding of trying to perform it. Since you don't indicate one way or the other that you have (or don't have) this knowledge, it's to be assumed that you don't. & the teaching of that would be beyond the scope of any programming language.
If you truly wish to learn about antivirus technologies, you should checkout the project ClamWin, as it's both free & open source.

CrowdStrike is a security vendor that provides cloud-based device protection. When the PrintNightmare vulnerability (CVE-2021-34527) became public, security vendor CrowdStrike suspected that this vulnerability would likely be exploited by threat actors. This is because the vulnerability provides remote code execution (RCE) and local privilege escalation (LPE) capabilities. This assessment has now been proven correct. In the following tweet, the vendor points to a thwarted ransomware attack exploiting the vulnerability.
CrowdStrike security researchers recently observed new activity related to a 2017 ransomware family known as Magniber. The CrowdStrike security solution detected and prevented a malware attack on victims in South Korea on July 13, 2021. The malware attempted to exploit the PrintNightmare vulnerability on Windows Server systems. However, the security software stepped in before any encryption occurred, the company writes in this blog post.
According to the company, the CrowdStrike Falcon® platform provides multi-layered threat protection by using machine learning (on the sensor and in the cloud) and indicators of attack (IOAs) to identify malicious processes or files associated with known or unknown threats, targeting the tactics and techniques used by attackers to compromise endpoints. This strategy likely prevented the successful attack.
I had written quite a bit about the PrintNightmare vulnerability here on the blog (see links at the end of the article). The timeline of the PrintNightmare vulnerability published by CrowStrike in his blog post is interesting.
June 8, 2021: The PrintNightmare vulnerability (CVE-2021-1675) is discovered by security researchers and reported to Microsoft. In their investigation, they attempted to bypass an earlier patch that addressed the PrintDemon vulnerability (CVE-2020-1048).
June 21, 2021: Although Microsoft released a patch for CVE-2021-1675 as part of Microsoft Patch Tuesday in June 2021, no further information about exploitation of the vulnerability was disclosed. At that time, it was assumed that the vulnerability could only be exploited by a locally authenticated user. However, the vulnerability was upgraded to critical by Microsoft on June 21 because it could allow RCE.
June 29, 2021: Separately, one of three other security researchers investigating a similar flaw in the Windows Print Spooler service accidentally published a proof of concept (POC) exploiting the vulnerability (CVE-2021-1675) to a GitHub repository on June 29. Although the flaw was corrected shortly thereafter, the GitHub repository was reportedly forked and the POC entered the wild, leading to possible exploitation by attackers.
July 1, 2021: Although Microsoft fixed the CVE-2021-1675 vulnerability by releasing a patch, the POC that became public exploits a different attack vector that triggers the print spooler vulnerability. As of July 1, several different proofs of concepts have been released that exploit the print spooler vulnerability. As a result, a second CVE (CVE-2021-34527) was created on July 1, with Microsoft stating that "CVE-2021-1675 is similar but different from CVE-2021-34527."
July 6, 2021: Beginning July 6, Microsoft released several out-of-band (OOB) updates intended to mitigate the CVE-2021-34527 vulnerability. Hours later, however, security researchers found that it was again possible to bypass the imposed mitigations under certain conditions. Popular exploit tools such as Metasploit and Mimikatz began to inject the exploit code, paving the way for arming attackers with a vulnerability that had not yet been fixed.
Then, as early as July 13, 2021, Crowdstrike was able to detect and thwart the Magniber ransomware gang's cyber attack. Knowing now that the Print Spooler service has more vulnerabilities (see Windows PrintNightmare, next round with CVE-2021-36958), it is a matter of time when the next attacks will happen.

KPMG firms can help you integrate the management of cyber threats into your organization’s decision making and culture.
While cyber security has a strong IT component, it is also a wider business issue that requires board-level leadership. It is critical for cyber security to be integrated into an organization’s culture and key decision making processes. Failure to establish a connection between cyber threats and an organization’s culture may lead to the decline of a business’s reputation and, ultimately, competitive advantage in the marketplace.
The integrate phase of KPMG’s Cyber Security Framework is about embedding cyber security in the culture and decision making of an organization to help ensure it stays one step ahead.

A penetration test simulates an attack on your organization's network infrastructure or applications. The focus of penetration testing is to determine what attackers can access and what trouble they can cause.
During these controlled tests, a trained, experienced consultant reviews the security of your network infrastructure and applications using the same tools and techniques that an attacker would use. Testing can even be performed covertly, without the knowledge of the people who manage and operate your systems.
By emulating a real-world attacker, we demonstrate where holes exist and procedures fail, how much access an attacker could gain and how to properly secure your systems.
A penetration test checks various aspects of your organization's security program that involve both your staff and technology. It evaluates if your firewalls, intrusion prevention systems and other technical controls are effective and configured correctly to prevent unauthorized access to your systems. The testing determines if all of the necessary security patches have been applied, as well as if your IT staff can detect and respond appropriately to an attack.
The value of a penetration test is its ability to demonstrate the impact of any security vulnerabilities. Senior management and other decision makers can sometimes overlook reports from IT auditors (and internal staff) indicating the potential for a malicious attack. The results of a penetration test, however, capture their attention by exposing how attackers got into your systems and what they were able to do, such as taking control of a financial server or gaining access to sensitive information. It puts your defenses to the test.
The proven and flexible methodology used by InfoSecure provides high-value testing without sacrificing the performance or availability of your systems. Testing is split into the following phases:
Reconnaissance and Discovery - InfoSecure performs a survey of your network or application and enumerates devices, services and software versions.
Vulnerability Analysis - We identify security holes and vulnerabilities, and verify vulnerabilities are legitimate, not "false positives."
Attack and Penetration - Our experienced consultants attempt to exploit vulnerabilities, escalate privileges and expand access to other systems and accounts.
We know that, first and foremost, you have a business to run. We test your systems in a manner that poses minimal risk to your normal business operations, while still discovering the weaknesses that an attacker could use to disrupt those operations.
Historically, nearly 20 new vulnerabilities are discovered every day. A network infrastructure test focuses on how well your network is configured to prevent intrusion.
In addition to our proprietary vulnerability scanning solution, we also perform manual testing to uncover potential holes in your network. We test your network devices, segmentation, servers, and workstations. This testing goes above and beyond vulnerability scanning. Once attack areas are identified, a trained consultant attempts to exploit the vulnerabilities to gain access to your systems.
Physical Controls Testing
Physical controls are countermeasures such as locks, cages, video surveillance and security guards. These controls are usually visible, but their effectiveness is often overlooked by security reviews.
InfoSecure simulates the steps a real attacker might take when trying to breach your environment. We'll use multiple methods, including impersonation, shoulder surfing, and even dumpster diving. Leverage the results of this testing to shore up your defenses.
Application Testing
Applications present some of the most significant risks to your organization's data, and web applications are critical to your online presence. This makes attacks on applications some of the most complex, and successful, types of attacks.
Securing and testing applications are complex and require specialized knowledge. In addition to commercial and custom-developed tools, InfoSecure uses manual inspection methods to discover application vulnerabilities.
Through web application testing, InfoSecure helps you uncover weaknesses, including those in the Open Web Application Security Project's Top 10 Web Application Security Risks, that target your organization's data and systems as well as those that target your customers and their web browsers.
Social Engineering
Social engineering is a fancy name given to the technique attackers use to manipulate your staff to gain sensitive or confidential information about your organization or a particular individual. It's been proven to be one of the most effective attack methods, rendering many technical and administrative controls ineffective.
Our security consultants attempt to gain sensitive information through multiple methods, including "pretext" telephone calls and "phishing" email campaigns. Our testing is designed to uncover threats to your organization due to information disclosure, employee misuse, and ineffective user credential management.

OnePlus used to be the inexpensive Google android maker challenging the leading Android producers, great it has high-end range topping items that will press the remainder forwards while also coming in at a slightly low cost. However , 1 area in which the OnePlus phones nevertheless are unable to beat Search engines or even Samsung is usually pictures. This particular brand new collaboration is designed to deal with that segment.
As you can take a few amazing photos with OnePlus phones, the particular fast breeze from regular users won’t compare to other cell phones. A new three-year partnership along with Hasselblad can hopefully produce substantial improvements and a couple of weeks we will have the very first leads to the renewed camera program within the OnePlus nine collection.
Furthermore: OnePlus 8T hands-on: Will there be an area the Capital t series within the OnePlus lineup?
OnePlus programs to get a lot more than $150 million on the next three years since it increases its imaging abilities. The phones curently have among the best shows, gorgeous hardware, well-timed up-dates, plus sophisticated specs therefore it will be interesting to find out in the event that Hasselblad can assist improve the computational photography as well as other aspects of the particular OnePlus imaging experience.
We all formerly saw the Hasselblad Moto Mod that didn’t meet requirements and so i is positive that will Hasselblad’s active wedding along with OnePlus may have more success. Based on OnePlus, the particular relationship will begin along with software improvements with the Hasselblad Digital camera regarding Cellular, including a brand new sophisticated Professional (manual) setting.
Looking at the particular OnePlus Tweets give food to we have noticed lots of blog post lately centered on moon photos and so i envision we might discover some kind of astrophotography features within the OnePlus nine. Huawei started along with superb celestial satellite pictures, then Search engines plus Samsung offered experiences that produced astrophotography something which mobile phone users can take pleasure in. We will quickly find what OnePlus and Hasselblad could create. Nonetheless, Hasselblad cameras captured the very first human ways on the celestial satellite so all of this moon buzz might be particular to the Hasselblad relationship.

WASHINGTON — At Armstrong Elementary School in Fairfax, Va., teacher Sharon Burns began circulating a petition asking for security doors on classrooms. In the District of Columbia, a parent of a student at Deal Middle School asked why her daughter had never participated in a lockdown drill.
Virginia Gov. Robert McDonnell called for a review of safety practices at all of the state's schools and a series of other initiatives to examine such issues as funding, threat assessments and emergency plans.
"I don't think we need to throw away the playbook on school safety, but we need to make sure best practices are being implemented," said Kenneth Trump, a school security consultant.
Trump said the deep concern that prevailed immediately after the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School has diminished. "The conversation and the training that we have today is not at the same level of consistency and intensity," he said.
Michael Dorn, executive director of Safe Havens International, a nonprofit that has developed safety plans for thousands of schools, said districts are likely to feel pressure to upgrade security, as they did after Columbine and later at Virginia Tech.
"There's a shift from concern to panic, if you will, and you have parents pushing to do something to improve safety," Dorn said.
Access to schools is a central issue, Dorn said, noting that less than 10 percent of schools around the country have strong access control, with locked entries, buzzers, protective laminated glass and camera or intercom systems.
"We have school districts that are incredibly good at this stuff, impressive and advanced," Dorn said. "One district has a gun safe with a tactical gun and a police officer there all day. Other districts are way behind."
Another big issue is training, many experts agreed.
Where cats are more popular than dogs in the U.S.-and all over the world
We all know there are only two types of people in the world: cat people and dog people. But data from market research firm Euromonitor suggest that these differences extend beyond individual preferences and to the realm of geopolitics: it turns out there are cat countries and dog countries, too.
Russia said earlier this week that it had no intention of answering Western sanctions by making it harder for Western companies to conduct business in Russia.
But all bets are off, apparently, when you threaten the Russian waistline.

U.S. NSA granted extension to collect bulk phone data
The U.S. National Security Agency has been allowed to continue to collect phone records in bulk of people in the country, while lawmakers consider new legislation that would block the agency from collecting the data.
The government’s application for reauthorization of the program for a period of 90 days was approved by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), according to a joint statement Friday by the Department of Justice and Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The government argued that it was seeking the extension as the relevant legislation has not been enacted yet.
The bulk collection of phone metadata in the U.S. by the NSA was first disclosed in June last year by former agency contractor, Edward Snowden, through news outlets.
In the wake of criticism of the surveillance program, President Barack Obama proposed in January changes in the program, including requiring that the government should not collect or hold the data in bulk, and deciding that, except in an emergency situation, the FISC will have to approve any queries to the phone records database. Obama also decided that the government should pursue phone calls that are two-steps removed from a number associated with a terrorist group, instead of the three hops previously authorized.
In March, Obama said that the data should remain with the telephone companies, but said that Congress would have to pass the appropriate legislation.

Risk assessment is the determination of qualitative estimate of risk related to a situation and a recognized threat (also called hazard). Quantitative risk assessment requires calculations of two components of risk (R) the magnitude and the probability of loss.
Environmental safety is the practice of policies and procedures that ensure that immediate surrounding environment, including work areas, laboratories or facilities, is free of dangers that could harm to a person working in those areas. A safe place to work is the key component of environmental safety.

Data breaches can cause your business to experience major setbacks, such as loss in profits, legal fees, a decrease in customers and missing or lost critical data.
With increasingly connected businesses, there’s never been a more pressing need to secure your data and IT systems.
This post will overview security risks associated with unprotected data, such as hackers gaining access through weak networks and employees not utilizing strong passwords, and how to provide your business with necessary data and IT protection.
Hackers gaining access to information through unsecured or unpatched servers.
Employees creating weak passwords when using their own devices, as well as company systems and equipment.
Outdated systems or security equipment unable to support the latest upgrades or security features.
Not enabling remote location and device wipe for mobile phones or tablets.
Individuals leaving your business and still having access to company resources.
Employees using unsecured Wi-Fi connections.
Loss of information due to not backing up critical data.
Now that you know some key data security risks, let’s talk about how you can help prevent them.
How to Provide Your Business With Proper Protection
When creating a data and IT security policy, there are many factors you should consider including to ensure maximum protection. Here are some examples:
Run a risk assessment or cyber threat assessment to determine the threat to your company from compromised data.
Secure networks with the necessary firewalls, antivirus and malware software.
Conduct a security audit to assess current security equipment and ensure it supports modern standards and is working properly.
Limit access to confidential information to only the necessary individuals.
Ensure all systems and equipment have the latest software updates.
Isolate critical data, such as Point of Sales (POS) systems or patient information, on a secondary network.
Encrypt sensitive data, such as confidential information, IP surveillance video, monitored alarm and access control systems.
Ensure employees using “Bring Your Own Device (BYOD),” wearable technology or working remotely are accessing information through secured networks.
Utilize professional installation and monitoring services to ensure equipment, networks and systems are working and communicating properly.
Require all employees to utilize strong passwords or passcodes for all devices and systems and encourage them to be changed regularly.
Conduct regular security training sessions for all computer users and remind them of ways they can reduce risk when using email and accessing websites.
When developing your data security policies and procedures, work with your security vendor and IT team to ensure all vulnerabilities have been covered.

Password management software firm LastPass says one of its DevOps engineers had a personal home computer hacked and implanted with keylogging malware as part of a sustained cyberattack that exfiltrated corporate data from the cloud storage resources.
LastPass on Monday fessed up a “second attack” where an unnamed threat actor combined data stolen from an August breach with information available from a third-party data breach, and a vulnerability in a third-party media software package to launch a coordinated attack.
“Our investigation has revealed that the threat actor pivoted from the first incident, which ended on August 12, 2022, but was actively engaged in a new series of reconnaissance, enumeration, and exfiltration activities aligned to the cloud storage environment spanning from August 12, 2022 to October 26, 2022,” the company explained in a note posted online.
“The second incident saw the threat actor quickly make use of information exfiltrated during the first incident, prior to the reset completed by our teams, to enumerate and ultimately exfiltrate data from the cloud storage resources,” LastPass added.
LastPass worked with incident response experts at Mandiant to perform forensics and found that a DevOps engineer’s home computer was targeted to get around security mitigations.
The attackers exploited a remote code execution vulnerability in a third-party media software package and planted keylogger malware on the employee’s personal computer. “The threat actor was able to capture the employee’s master password as it was entered, after the employee authenticated with MFA, and gain access to the DevOps engineer’s LastPass corporate vault,” the company said.
“The threat actor then exported the native corporate vault entries and content of shared folders, which contained encrypted secure notes with access and decryption keys needed to access the AWS S3 LastPass production backups, other cloud-based storage resources, and some related critical database backups,” LastPass confirmed.
LastPass, which is owned by GoTo (formerly LogMeIn), originally disclosed the breach in August 2022 and warned that portions of its source code had been stolen. In January 2023, parent company GoTo said it also suffered a breach that included the theft of account usernames, salted and hashed passwords, a portion of Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) settings, as well as some product settings and licensing information.
LastPass claims more than 30 million users and 85,000 business customers worldwide.

Kaspersky's Ban On U.S. Federal Networks
This September, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), issued a directive to civil agencies to stop using Kaspersky software within 90 days after concerns that the antivirus may help the Russian government in infiltrating U.S. networks and stealing sensitive information.
The government previously accused Kaspersky of stealing classified information from a national security whistleblower called Reality Winner. Kaspersky admitted that it got the documents in a routine scan of Winner’s personal computer, but it said it immediately deleted those files once it learned what they were. It also offered to allow independent parties to review its antivirus’ source code, but the government didn’t think that was sufficient.
Last week, the new National Defense Authorization Act of 2018 included a clause that would ban any Kaspersky or Kaspersky-associated software from being used in the U.S. federal government. Guilty or not, this seems to have left Kaspersky no choice but to sue the U.S. government in order to save its reputation (and revenue).
Kaspersky’s Open Letter
Along with the lawsuit, Kaspersky also wrote an open letter to the U.S. government. The company argued that it has not been given the opportunity to defend itself properly before its technology was banned from use on federal networks. This has harmed its reputation and revenue, and Kaspersky believes that such actions violated the U.S. Constitution, more specifically the right to due process.
The company said that the U.S. government relied mainly upon uncorroborated media reports, not evidence, to support its conclusion that the Kaspersky antivirus is a security risk for U.S. federal networks.
Kaspersky also noted that although the revenue it obtained from licensing its software to U.S. federal agencies was only a small percentage of its revenue, the ban on its software had a disproportionate negative effect both in the U.S. as well as globally.
Kaspersky is now suing the U.S. government to try and repair that damage to its sales as well as its reputation (presuming the U.S. court will find Kaspersky innocent).
Stupid. If the government doesn't want to use a piece of software for whatever reason... It shouldn't be forced to use that software... The government has the authority to chose what software to use and what software not to use.
I can only assume the lawsuit will be with regard to the accusations (or insinuations) that Kapersky was engaging in espionage/colluding with the Russian government. Maybe alleging slander or libel, resulting in damages to Kapersky's reputation and therefore profits. Because you're right, suing the government just for not using your software doesn't make any sense.
This raises the question in my mind of whether the government documents in question somehow triggered Kaspersky's antivirus to suspect they had possibly malicious code in them. Virus sample submission back to anti-virus software vendors seems pretty typical and I personally wouldn't consider possession of the documents by Kaspersky to be outside of the normal operation for this type of security software, provided the right set of circumstances.
The government could very well be the instigator here, embedding things in their files to see where they end up.
No matter if the document was containing suspect code, Kaspersky is in no right to just yank files for testing in Russia without asking permission. A permission they'd never been granted in this case. That is the reason the US doesn't trust them. They have admittedly taken US government documents to servers based in Russia.
By installing and using Kaspersky, the operator of the computer is bound by the licensing terms, which can include automatic sample submission. Are there reputable antivirus offerings that don't have some sort of sample submission? The permission is also often tacitly expressed by the use of default settings. In this case, we don't even know if the user was ever presented the opportunity to enable or disable such a feature, so we can only assume whether Kaspersky had been explicitly granted permission. Furthermore, if users are ignorant of what the software they are installing is going to do, is it really the fault of the software developer? In some cases I would say, sure, when the behavior can't be known by the user, but there are far more cases of plain laziness or ignorance on the part of the user.
The user in this case, Reality Winner, took documents from her work facility, which she wasn't supposed to do. This doesn't exactly strike me as the behavior of the most stellar computer user or employee. It isn't as though Kaspersky breached any sort of high security measures to acquire the documents. The initial breach seems to have been via sneaker net.
Finally, cloud based software solutions have to be expected to be hosted and operate, in the cloud, which means it can be anywhere in the world. Since Kaspersky Lab is headquartered in Moscow, it doesn't strike me as a far fetched idea that perhaps their cloud based servers are somewhere in say, Russia.
If you want cloud based antivirus software, but don't want it based in Russia, don't use Kaspersky. If however you choose to use Kaspersky, you don't exactly have a lot of room to complain when a document that triggers automatic sample submission ends up in Russia. I think ultimately it boils down to the poor decisions made by the NSA agent.

The Security+ certification is entry-level and is for those individuals who wish to pursue a career in computer security. Although it is not a requirement, CompTIA does recommend that the candidate has at least two years of hands-on experience in computer networking with emphasis on security. It also recommends that the candidate get the Network+ certification before getting the Security+ certification. Like the Network+ certification, the Security+ certification can also be attained by passing only one exam: SYO-101.
Each of these CompTIA certifications is covered in this book, and if taken appropriately, each trackcan get you an entry-level job in the IT field of your choice. These exams just give a head start to your IT career. You can further enhance your career in any of the IT fields by pursuing more advanced certifications from other vendors. Several IT industry leaders, such as Microsoft, IBM, or Hewlett Packard, recognize the CompTIA certifications. For example, Microsoft recognizes the combination of A+ and Network+ certifications as one of the elective exams in its MCSA and MCSE tracks.
The focus of this bookis on providing the core knowledge to prepare you for the two A+ exams—the Network+ exam and the Security+ exam. This book is meant to be used as part of your final preparation, and not as your only preparation. Thinkof this as the notes you’d have written down if you were to highlight and then record every essential nugget of information related to the skills being measured in the A+, the Network+, and the Security+ exams.
Basically, what I did was to boil the required knowledge down to its finest core. Thus, rather than having 500 to 700 pages covering each exam, there’s just approximately 150 pages for each. With this in mind, the best way to use this bookis as part of your final review. So after you’ve built sufficient hands-on expertise and studied all the relevant texts, grab this bookand study it cover to cover as part of your final exam cram.
Most of the individuals start their IT support career with the A+ certification, and then move on to the Network+ certification to prove their skills in computer network support. The Security+ certification is basically meant for those individuals who either workin a secure computing environment or wish to attain more advanced security-related certifications. It is highly recommended that if you are just starting your IT career, you should start with the A+ certification, choosing an appropriate A+ track.
One of the good things about the CompTIA exams is that once you pass the exam for any of the available tracks, the certification never expires so you don’t have to worry about the retirement of exams. But this certainly does not mean that you should quit studying. Studies are as essential as hands-on experience in any technical field. So, upgrading yourself with newer exam objectives in order to keep you updated with changes in technology is not a bad idea.

Despite all protective measures, security incidents in the field of information technology can never be ruled out. Examples of this are numerous and range from a system failure caused by a malware infection to information theft by means of a targeted hacker attack. In such situations, it is crucial to react quickly and correctly. As an experienced partner, SCHUTZWERK will help you to minimize the negative effects of specific security incidents in the best possible way.
An ever-increasing dependence on IT as well as rising crime rates have seen the risk of IT security incidents in companies on the rise from year to year. Their effects can be complex and serious, which means that IT forensic analyses of IT systems alone cannot meet these challenges. Rather, it is important to first recognize the overall context and take immediate measures to minimize damage. Furthermore, the structured handling of security incidents (Incident Response) also involves controlled communication with employees and external partners, as well as with authorities and the media, if necessary.
If a company is acutely confronted with a security incident, it is often difficult to act in a composed and coordinated manner. Usually, this situation is an exception to daily operations and there is often, not surprisingly, a lack of appropriate routine and / or resources. Therefore, the “backing” from an experienced partner such as SCHUTZWERK GmbH is a good choice. With the aim of minimizing the effects of the security incident as best as possible and returning to normal operations as quickly as possible, we offer you the following support:
Identification and coordination of possible immediate measures to minimize damage (data backup, deactivation or exclusion of neuralgic IT systems, etc.)
Identification and coordination of possible immediate measures to further specify and limit the security incident (forensic analyses on individual IT systems or network environments, activation and evaluation of extended system log files, implementation and analyses of multi-level virus scans, etc.)

While connecting to a wireless network, it is necessary to ensure its security, especially when you are in the office or in any public place. Because insecure wireless connectivity may lead the hackers to gain unethical access to the router IP address and alternatively your personal info and data may be not safe. When it comes to setting up a wireless network security key for your own router, then it must be your top priority to ensure its security from all aspects. You have to setup a key that may be not easy every one to guess and apply.
There are different levels of security, several types of password combinations to secure your network. So give brief research and avoid to use common password combinations like:
Date of birth, person or famous place name, or some common alphanumeric combinations, email addresses, first name, last name etc.
The password or key phrase must be unique to ensure its use for you as well as your friends and family.
Don’t miss to find a Printer IP address.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)-it was the first most basic security and assumed as the weakest so discarded now.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access),- It uses the message integrity check and has become common now.
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access with advanced levels of securities)– It is the most advanced security feature that has become a standard for wireless networks.
There are two ways to set up the security key for your wireless network. you can do it with through your router. When you go to set up it, it will guide to stepwise to encrypt and secure your network.
The second method is to create a network key manually. We will learn to create a network security key for windows 7.
So follow the steps below:
Click Start Menu > Open Control Panel and go for Network and Internet header.
Under Network and Sharing Center, click View network status and tasks. This will open your current network.
Go for the Set up a new connection or network option to create any number of network connections you want.
On the next screen click Set up a new Network. On the next screen choose your router and wait for about 90 seconds to the computer to set up a wireless network.
You will be prompt to enter your PIN number, that can be found on the backside of your router.
Once your Router is accepted, you can change the settings and finish setting it up.
On the screen, you can change your network name, select the best security encryptions and passwords.
In most cases, Windows 7 automatically generate the best security options like password and security level for your wireless network. However, you can choose it as you desire.
In this way, you can secure your connections by setting up a wireless network security key.

What is trust? The philosophy of trust is fascinating. The definition of trust is "Assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something".
Where does the trustor's belief come from? My point of view is that the trustor must have a past experience or foundational belief on behalf of the trustor to inform the level of trust or distrust the trustor will have in the trustee. Without some prior knowledge to an interaction, there is likely to be no foundation for trust or distrust. Every adult human on the face of the earth will have a weighted perspective on how much they believe a trustee will act in a way that is beneficial to the trustor.
So far this post has been a very philosophical discussion. Why am I even talking about the concept of trust? In information security, trust is the bedrock for nearly interaction (or at least it should). When a person attempts to redeem a gift card online, the web application owner assumes that if valid card details are entered, then that must be the owner of the gift card. The online shop will then add the balance of the gift card to the person's account. It would be amazing if the world was this simple, but online fraudsters will take advantage of this inherent trust. Fraudsters can brute force gift card validation endpoints using automation (aka bots) to redeem balances on gift cards.
This is not an exhaustive list and there are many sub categories of these different fields that could be utilized as well. This is especially true with rate of traffic. If there are a million requests being sent within a 5 minute time frame from a single user, then that would likely be considered abusive or fraudulent by most web applications. These 5 million requests would not be considered trustworthy since it vastly exceeds the normal user usage. However, there are applications where this may be acceptable behavior. What qualifies as "normal" requires some prior knowledge or definition to define what "normal" really is.
We cannot infer trust in a vacuum. We must rely on prior knowledge to guide if something or someone is trustworthy. As we continue to progress in cyber security to fight fraud, it will be interesting to see how an individual's history is recorded for good or bad behavior.
Here are some questions that I have for maybe a later past.

According to Symantec in their Internet Security Threat Report 2015, there were 317 million new pieces of malware released in 2014, as well as 348 million identities exposed. In a report by security specialists Cyber Edge Group in 2014, across the U.S. and Europe, 71 percent of industries surveyed had suffered a successful cybersecurity attack. And with these increasing threats come increasing costs. The price of a cyber breach can be staggering, as shown in a report by HP and the Ponemon Institute on the Global Cost of Cyber Crime, with the average cost of a security breach being $12.7 million per organization, a rise of 96 percent in 2014.
These types of figures have placed cybersecurity firmly on a seat at the Board of Directors table.
Cybersecurity issues are a companywide problem. They affect not only finances, but also the reputation of the company and the Board members themselves. One of the most high-profile cybersecurity incidents in recent years, the Target breach, has resulted in their Board members facing a lawsuit for being negligent in their fiduciary duties of care of internal processes and protection of consumer data (Civil Action No. 0:14-cv-00266-PAM-JJK). Lawsuits aside, company reputation is often adversely affected by a cybersecurity attack and having to “clean up” afterward is also costly, as exemplified by the recent decision to do a multi-state investigation into JPMorgan’s compliance structure after the company suffered a major data breach in 2014 – something which will be very costly in terms of personnel requirements and general costs for JPMorgan.
This current sweep of data security issues and non-compliance by the law courts has sent ripples through all industries, and according to law firm Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, “Cybersecurity oversight is the second most important topic for Boards in 2015 — just behind strategic planning.”
But to be insightful in how to tackle an ever increasing cybersecurity threat landscape, cybersecurity and compliance need to be communicated effectively to Board members who may well not specialize in this area. Approaching the often complex arena of cybersecurity and compliance means you need to have a logical approach that’s informative and offers resolutions. Some ideas of where to start in talking to the Board about these issues include:
Defining the Threat
“There are only two types of companies. Those that have been hacked and those that will be.” — Robert Mueller, FBI Director
Definition is the most important aspect of communicating cybersecurity and compliance issues to the Board. As with anything in business or life, clarity is key. To gain a clear picture of the problem at hand, determine the threat landscape for your company; this will be central to your discussion.
Board members are interested in certain areas. They need to understand the risk to the company itself from cyber threats. This needs to be done in clear and understandable language. This is not the time for technical detail. To communicate your company’s cybersecurity efforts, use terms Board members are likely to understand, and ask questions that they see an interest in. Questions which can set the scene for creating this landscape are:
An overview of the current trends in security, including the security threat landscape and security tool availability. Use your imagination and make this overview accessible to a non-technical person.
What is the business risk to the company? Perhaps use a traffic light system or similar to highlight the criticality of each risk area.
Has the company addressed compliance standards and laws surrounding privacy and security of data, including SOC examinations, ISO 27001 certification, PCI-DSS validations and HIPAA assessments? Noncompliance can result in fines and even imprisonment for directors.
What areas are vulnerable? This should include discussions around insider threats and employee education on cybersecurity.
Progress reports are vital to communicate the changing situation of security concerns and remedies within an organization. They can inform security strategy going forward. Board members are likely to want to see how the company’s cybersecurity policies are implemented and progressing. For example, if you’ve explained your company’s vulnerabilities, the Board will want to see the progress in closing off those vulnerable areas.
If possible, provide the Board with regular metrics on vulnerability scans, the network of known and authenticated devices and software or business measures. CIO Magazine suggests communicating these metrics with the Board every quarter.
The SANS Institute has an excellent paper on what type of detail should be included in security metrics for Board members.
Founded in 2010, CCI is the web’s premier global independent news source for compliance, ethics, risk and information security.

We’re seeing a mess of reports of something many refer to as Conduit Search appearing on client Pcs in the course of the most recent not many weeks, initiating issues extending from a powerlessness to get to certain sites to getting totally bolted out of your Internet association. Channel Search is basically a program ruffian: a system or an extra that appends to your web browser and changes settings in ways you didn’t approve. In this case, browsers that are tainted with Conduit will have their home page changed to search.conduit.com, and any quests performed will experience Conduit’s web crawler instead of Google, Bing, Yahoo, or whatever web search tool you are accustomed to utilizing. This hunt data is gathered by Conduit for promoting and ads, then indexed lists are shown that profit with every click.
So, how to remove conduit search? You can find the tutorial on this site http://removal-guides.com

We often discuss the growing threat of cybersecurity breaches among businesses of all sizes and industries and underscore how important it is to properly protect your company’s network and data.
Still, despite the prevalence of cyber security threats, and the fact that a significant breach or loss of data can result in thousands of dollars in fallout, many companies are quite lax when it comes to protecting their businesses. At least, that is what a recent survey by Paycheck uncovered.
A false sense of security
One of the most alarming findings of the recent survey was that 27 percent of business owners admitted that their companies do not use any sort of data security software. Of the others that responded to the study, 48 percent used on-premises software, 11 percent used Cloud-based software and 14 percent used a combination of both.
Even though the 27-percent figure might be alarming, it didn’t seem to register with many of the business owners that were included in the survey. A stunning 81 percent of the respondents felt very confident that they were doing everything they could to protect business and customer data and 84 percent were confident that they could recover lost data if needed.
Sadly, business owners can feel confident about their ability to sustain business continuity in the event of an IT emergency, but they can find out the hard way that they are unable to.
One final stat that illustrated the struggles of adopting strong cyber security as a small business showed that large corporations were a lot more likely to provide their teams with training compared to smaller businesses.
Of businesses with 100 to 500 employees, 89 percent said that they do train employees on data security. That number was just 59 percent for companies with one to 19 employees.
Many small businesses either don’t have the resources to provide comprehensive cyber security measures, or they don’t think they’ll ever be targeted. It’s important that small businesses treat this as the business-saving investment that it truly is.

I have found ESET NOD32 Antivirus Business Edition to be a good security solution. This is the one I advised the local charity I provide free IT support to use and now it is. Reasonably priced depending on the amount of machines on the LAN/WAN and the licence required(duration).
Low on system resources overall and quite effective but take into consideration whatever else security software may be in use less a system conflict occurs and overall online protection is lessened.......... Off course this would depend on if a workstation has internet access or not and or how the LAN/WAN is set up etc and the actual Server. It is 64 bit compatible also.

It is good that you simply’re again from trip. Hope you loved.
I simply wished to remind you that you have to replace your security data.
knock Right here to finish your course of.
Info shared in OOO replies can improve the chance of customized phishing assaults. Due to this fact, create policies and tips for what the OOO reply must be.
Whereas every group maintains its personal set of insurance policies with regards to cyber hygiene, it is suggested that OOO replies don’t embody customized emails, cellphone numbers, or names. As an alternative, if forwarding e mail have to be used, think about using a devoted mailbox handle that could be disabled shortly thereafter. Don’t state the rationale for the OOO or the placement of journey. Preserve it protected preserve it brief.
1. Present workers with summer season tips for securing company gadgets
Workers who journey overseas, particularly for a protracted trip, could take their laptops or different company gadgets with them. Laptops may be stolen or forgotten in a random espresso store, and even with out that danger, unsanitary work circumstances expose workers to greater than traditional Wi-Fi networks. Public Fi’s are usually not protected, with the next probability of putting in malware.
We suggest offering workers, simply previous to journey, together with your coverage on laptop computer safety, the usage of public Wi-Fi, which programs may be accessed by way of public Wi-Fi, and the right way to test emails on non-personal gadgets.

This software program checks the content material of emails, web sites, and different methods to entry knowledge over the Web after which warns the consumer of a menace. This security web also can block emails that could be spoofed earlier than they attain an individual’s inbox.
3. Why is it essential to run phishing simulations each month?
Working phishing simulations constantly, not less than as soon as a month, offers a useful sensible expertise for studying and sustaining good cyber habits.
Phishing simulations, particularly the personalized ones, train workers the right way to take care of phishing assaults via real-world follow, enabling better retention. Such consciousness coaching applications are only once they happen recurrently and extra continuously and deal with the threats workers are prone to face based mostly on their job function, division, or location.
Organizations that practice their workers earlier than the vacation season can relaxation assured that this information shall be retained all through the summer season.
When coping with hackers, let’s not overlook that they’re advancing every single day. Solely constant coaching of your workers is the antidote to preserving your group protected.

Update: All three Office for iPad apps received updates to version 1.1 on July 31, including the ability to export documents in PDF format, resize images, and other features unique to each app.
When Apple announced that its iWork suite would be bundled, free of charge, with new iOS and Mac devices, it seemingly slammed the door on Microsoft’s Office ambitions for the iPad. How could Microsoft bring its pricey Office suite into a world of free (and almost free) apps?
The answer: Outdo iWork in both form and function. Apple claims that products like its Pages are the most beautiful office software for iPad and other Apple devices. With Office for iPad, Microsoft has stolen that crown.
Clean, bold, and easy to use: Microsoft Office for the iPad.
Microsoft’s Office for iPad is a collection of three apps: Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. (OneNote for the iPad has been available since 2011, and Microsoft's Lync, Skype, and Yammer are also available.) Users can download each, free of charge, from Apple’s iTunes on an iPad running iOS 7.0 or above. And each is free to use to view documents that have been created elsewhere.
But Office 365 also includes a subscription to OneDrive, Microsoft’s cloud storage solution, a central repository from which one can withdraw and store documents. In a nice twist, you can connect both your personal OneDrive and OneDrive for Business accounts and connect to SharePoint as well. However, to create or edit documents, you must subscribe to Office 365: either Office 365 Home Premium ($9.99 per month), the upcoming Office 365 Personal ($6.99 per month), or one of several business options. Each Office 365 subscription includes at least one tablet subscription, which covers Office for iPad.
According to Michael Atalla, director of product management for Office, Office for iPad represents neither a “blown-up” Office Mobile for iPhone nor a stripped-down Office for Windows, but rather a custom version of Office designed expressly for the iPad.
Working with docs in Office for iPad is a far cray from editing in Office Mobile for iPhone.
I completely agree. Office for iPad represents the distilled Office experience, poured into an iOS glass. Quite frankly, I prefer it to working in Office 2013, if only because Microsoft organizes the most commonly-used functions so intuitively, using an icon-driven ribbon at the top of the screen. In Word, for example, Office for iPad preserves the footnoting capability but cuts out the “Mailings” and “References” headings. Chances are you won’t miss them.
Working with text in Office for iPad should be intuitive to anyone who has used iOS: Tapping once on a word moves the cursor to that location; tapping twice creates a series of slider bars to highlight a block of text. Pressing and releasing brings up a set of options to select or insert text. Holding down your finger brings up the zoom or spyglass icon. Atalla said that Microsoft developed an elongated, widened zoom that highlighted a word. All I saw was the default circular view, however.
Images can be resized and moved at the touch of a finger.
For most of my testing, I paired Microsoft’s preloaded iPad Air with a Pi Dock-It Pro keyboard case from Parle Innovation, but I also found myself banging away on the tablet itself. Touch is simply so intuitive for moving images around and resizing PowerPoint slide headings, especially as the text realigns itself to flow around the newly-sized art. It’s not perfect: I ran into situations where I almost had to tap randomly to select a field, then edit the text within it. But eventually I was able to accomplish what I set out to do.
Editing text should be familiar to anyone who has used iOS.
Functionality preserved, mostly
Occasionally Microsoft will get too cute, however. Take find-and-replace, a fairly common function. In Word 2013, typing CTRL-F automatically brings up the Find and Replace menu. In Office for iPad, however, there are no keyboard shortcuts. And to find a word, you’ll need to tap the magnifying-glass “search” icon at the top right, then tap the settings gear to the far left. Only then will you find the replace function you were looking for. It’s not totally unintuitive, but a bit awkward nevertheless.
In general, Office for iPad retains some of the value-added features that have become associated with Office, including the ability to track changes and to co-author documents. Tracking changes, for its part, takes up the bulk of the “Review” menu in Word for iPad and seems especially well implemented. Coauthoring is supported, so that many people can work on a document at the same time.
Excel comes with a custom keypad for easier data entry.
And in Excel Online, the default options for “Home” appear to exceed what Microsoft has built into Excel for iPad, including the “tell me what you want to do” search box. In fact, there’s no obvious help functionality in Office for iPad at all. (It's there, though: Click the autosave “button” in the top left corner to see a Help and Support option.)
There's one notable omission: printing, which seems inexplicable in an office suite. But Microsoft executives implied that it should be added in a future release, and soon.
But from a feature perspective, comparing Microsoft’s Office Web Apps and Office for iPad reveals that the tablet app is just a few steps up from the Web-based app. In Word, for example, you have the ability to add a shape or a footnote to a selected piece of text. This function isn't available in the iPad version, but everything else remains the same between the two. Like Word Online, there’s spell-checking, but no grammar checker or thesaurus. Power users will find that some of the more sophisticated section formatting options aren't available.
On the other hand, some lovely little touches help ameliorate any angst those omissions cause. For example, Microsoft built a custom keypad into Excel to smooth data entry and speed the entry of formulas. For that matter, the formulas (not functions, as Excel Online calls them) are neatly organized by category, similar to how Excel 2013 organizes them. Again, the templates (16 in Excel for iPad, versus 9 for Excel Online, and 26 default templates for Excel 2013) prove exceedingly useful, as do the default options for charts and graphs.
Microsoft includes numerous useful templates for Excel for iPad.
A solid tablet tool
One feature that Microsoft has excluded—for now—is the “live data” functionality, such as PowerMap, built into the PowerBI functionality for Office 2013. When I asked about this, Atalla gave a very Google-like response: Office 365 is “moving fast” and will add new features in the future.
Traditionally, Office Web Apps (now Office Online) felt a bit like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football: Just when a particular feature was desperately needed, Microsoft would try to upsell you to its full-fledged Office suite. I never ran into that in Office for iPad, nor did I run into too many situations where it simply couldn’t perform a basic but vital task.
At present, I haven’t spent enough time with Office for iPad alongside the Apple iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) to definitively give one suite the edge over the other. My thinking, however, is that you’ll prefer Word for iPad over Pages, with perhaps a slight edge to Excel, as well. I’ve always been very impressed with Keynote, however, and I suspect that most iPad users will prefer to stick with it.
A number of transitions ship with PowerPoint for Excel.
Nevertheless, kudos to the Office for iPad team. They’ve created a suite of “free” apps as good or better than anything Apple has created. My only remaining question is this: What will the new version of Office for the Mac look like? If Microsoft can make lightning strike twice, Apple’s iWork team will have its work cut out for it.
Correction: An Office 365 subscription is required to edit as well as create documents. This review was also updated to note the lack of printing features in the original version.

Enable filters on your email programs: Most ISPs (Internet Service Providers) and email providers offer spam filters. However, depending on the level you set, you may wind up blocking emails you want. It’s a good idea to occasionally check your junk folder to ensure the filters are working properly.
Report spam: Most email clients offer ways to mark an email as spam or report instances of spam. Reporting spam will also help to prevent the messages from being directly delivered to your inbox.
Own your online presence: Consider hiding your email address from online profiles and social networking sites or only allowing certain people to view your personal information.
Phishing
Phishing attacks use email or malicious websites (clicking on a link) to collect personal and financial information or infect your machine with malware and viruses. Spear Phishing
Spear phishing is highly specialized attacks against a specific target or small group of targets to collect information or gain access to systems.
For example, a cybercriminal may launch a spear phishing attack against a business to gain credentials to access a list of customers. From that attack, they may launch a phishing attack against the customers of the business. Since they have gained access to the network, the email they send may look even more authentic and because the recipient is already customer of the business, the email may more easily make it through filters and the recipient maybe more likely to open the email.
The cybercriminal can use even more devious social engineering efforts such as indicating there is an important technical update or new lower pricing to lure people.
Don’t reveal personal or financial information in an email, and do not respond to email solicitations for this information. This includes following links sent in email.
Before sending sensitive information over the Internet, check the security of the website.
Pay attention to the website's URL. Malicious websites may look identical to a legitimate site, but the URL may use a variation in spelling or a different domain (e.g., .com versus .net).
If you are unsure whether an email request is legitimate, try to verify it by contacting the company directly. Contact the company using information provided on an account statement, not information provided in an email. Information about known phishing attacks is available online from groups such as the Anti-Phishing Working Group. Report phishing to the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG)
Keep a clean machine. Having the latest operating system, software, web browsers, anti-virus protection and apps are the best defenses against viruses, malware, and other online threats.
What to Do if You Think You are a Victim?
Report it to the appropriate people within the organization, including network administrators. They can be alert for any suspicious or unusual activity.
If you believe your financial accounts may be compromised, contact your financial institution immediately and close the account(s).
Watch for any unauthorized charges to your account.
Consider reporting the attack to your local police department, and file a report with the Federal Trade Commission or the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center.
On Guard Online Protect Yourself with these STOP. THINK. CONNECT. Tips:
When in doubt, throw it out: Links in email, tweets, posts, and online advertising are often the way cybercriminals compromise your computer. If it looks suspicious, even if you know the source, it’s best to delete or, if appropriate, mark it as junk email.
Think before you act: Be wary of communications that implores you to act immediately, offers something that sounds too good to be true, or asks for personal information.
Secure your accounts: Ask for protection beyond passwords. Many account providers now offer additional ways for you verify who you are before you conduct business on that site.
Make passwords long and strong: Combine capital and lowercase letters with numbers and symbols to create a more secure password.

Verizon Wireless’ newest TV ad brags that it has “America’s largest 4G LTE network”—an obvious response to AT&T’s claims of “the nation’s fastest 4G LTE network.”
In the continuing war between the nation’s two largest wireless carriers, the battle of late has come down to, essentially, LTE network size vs. LTE network speed. That fight is reflected in the ads each carrier is now pitching.
A new Verizon ad shows crowds of people dancing, biking, and sweeping through streets at night carrying sparklers and smiling in a Fourth of July-type celebration. That ad comes just as the carrier rolled out its 500th LTE cityon Thursday.
Meanwhile, AT&T continues a series of months-old TV ads featuring children talking to an adult and saying funny things while seated on the floor. The underlying theme: AT&T has “the nation’s fastest 4G LTE network.”
Earlier this week, AT&T said it had activated LTE in 291 cities.
It wasn’t too long ago that Verizon claimed it had the fastest LTE network. However, AT&T has repeatedly bragged at having the fastest overall network nationwide, citing tests conducted by Root Metric and PC Magazine.
In some major cities, Verizon was, on average, faster in the PC Magazine test, sparking a few analyst reactions that network speeds can be highly variable depending on the number of users, and that speeds will certainly improve as newer technologies like LTE-Advanced emerge.
Asked in a conference call on Wednesday about the LTE battle with AT&T, Nicola Palmer, chief network officer at Verizon, touted a comprehensive approach to LTE that includes speed, “yet more than speed,” including reliability and broad coverage. Palmer noted that Verizon has even pushed into Alaskan cities and rural areas of the U.S. to offer LTE with 20 smaller carriers. She noted that Root Metrics and JD Power had found Verizon had the most LTE coverage of any network, increasing the likelihood of a customer accessing LTE.
Palmer stuck with Verizon’s standard definition of its average LTE speeds: 5Mbps to 12Mbps on downloads and 2Mbps to 5Mbps on uploads.

October marks the European month of Cybersecurity. Cybersecurity is not a new topic in aviation, but recent increases in the number of hacks, data theft and phishing have brought the issue into the spotlight. Behind the scenes, A4E and its members are heavily involved in a variety of initiatives to create a cyber resilient aviation system in Europe.
The complexity of developing a cybersecure environment is not only technological, but also human and organisational. Indeed, all stakeholders must be part of the equation, including service providers and passengers.
• a system-of-systems capable to adapt and withstand new threats without significant disruptions.
“We are as strong as the weakest link”, EUROCONTROL reminded us, hence the growing importance of collaboration, best practice sharing and dissemination of threats. The recent launch of the European Centre for Cybersecurity in Aviation, where some A4E members are active, is a great example of such cooperation.
We lead by example
Our members also have dedicated teams or ad-hoc working groups to tackle cybersecurity threats, often combining colleagues from their Security, Information Systems, Operations and Maintenance departments. For instance, Air France set up a “Cyber Committee” back in 2017 to cover both regulatory requirements but also ongoing initiatives on a six-month basis.
A4E welcomes the work of the Juncker Commission on Cybersecurity, with the adoption of the NIS Directive and the Cybersecurity Act in particular. We call on the new EU leadership to keep up the political momentum of this dossier. A4E airlines stand ready to continue to liaise with the EU authorities and work across sectors to make aviation and Europe cyber-resilient!

Linux Foundation & Linux.com multiple server compromised
The Linux Foundation has pulled its websites from the web to clean up from a "security breach". A notice posted on the Linux Foundation said the entire infrastructure including LinuxFoundation.org, Linux.com, and their subdomains are down for maintenance due to a security breach that was discovered on September 8, 2011.
Multiple Servers that are part of the Linux Foundation & Linux.com infrastructure were affected during a recent intrusion on 8 September which "may have compromised your username, password, email address and other information".
More from the Linux Foundation announcement:
We are in the process of restoring services in a secure manner as quickly as possible. As with any intrusion and as a matter of caution, you should consider the passwords and SSH keys that you have used on these sites compromised. If you have reused these passwords on other sites, please change them immediately. We are currently auditing all systems and will update this statement when we have more information.
We apologize for the inconvenience. We are taking this matter seriously and appreciate your patience. The Linux Foundation infrastructure houses a variety of services and programs including Linux.com, Open Printing, Linux Mark, Linux Foundation events and others, but does not include the Linux kernel or its code repositories.
The kernel.org site is still offline after that compromise which was discovered on August 28th. The Linux Foundation's servers, linuxfoundation.org and linux.com, and services associated with them such as Open Printing, Linux Mark and Foundation events, are all offline while the administrators perform a complete re-install on the systems. In the meantime the Foundation is advising users to regard any passwords and SSH keys used on these sites as compromised, and they should be immediately changed if they were used on other sites.

Cybercriminals often use legitimate websites in their phishing attacks as a way to get around the security systems that your organization has in place. A recent example of this is the use of Canva, a popular graphic design platform. Canva provides users with a variety of ways to create and share visual content. Cybercriminals are using Canva to create an official-looking document that contains a clickable, malicious link. Creating and storing this document on Canva allows the attackers to get through security measures because Canva is a legitimate website.
Once the scammers have created and stored their file on Canva, they will send you an email that includes a link to this malicious file. The email claims the link leads to an important document that needs your attention. However, if you click this link, you are taken to the Canva file and prompted to click another link in order to view the document mentioned in the email. Clicking this second link will redirect you to a phony login page for your email provider. Any information entered on this page will be sent directly to the scammers. Don’t be fooled!
Remember these tips:
Never click a link in an email that you were not expecting.
Call the sender to be sure the email and link are legitimate. Do not call the phone number provided within the email as it may be a fake number.
When you’re asked to log in to an account or online service, navigate to the official website and log in. That way, you can ensure you’re logging in to the real site and not a phony look-a-like.
Stop, Look, and Think. Don't be fooled.

Phishing is the criminally fraudulent process of attempting to acquire sensitive information, such as user names, passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. Communications purporting to be from popular social websites, auction sites, online payment processors or IT administrators are commonly used to lure the unsuspecting public. Phishing is typically carried out by e-mail or instant messaging, and often directs users to enter details at a fake website whose look and feel are almost identical to the legitimate one. You should ALWAYS consider any e-mail asking for your account information to be fraudulent.
There are often misspelled words in the e-mail, or poor grammar, but not always.

The popularity and use of ransomware appear to be spreading at record pace in 2016 as cybercriminals are actively using ransomware to hold businesses, institutions and even individuals hostage. No one is immune to this sort of attack. If you’ve been following the news, you’re probably aware that authorities and security experts are calling this the new crisis in cybercrime today.
The rise of ransomware within the hacking economy can be attributed to how simple and fast attackers can potentially capitalize on thousands or millions of their victims in a short period of time as opposed to a targeted attack, which requires more work and time to monetize from a single data breach. To date (as of July 2, 2016), the SonicWall Threat Research Team has observed a 78% growth in ransomware variants over 2015.
With thousands of daily ransomware attacks, your success in maintaining normal operations is paramount towards the achievement of your business objectives. So it’s best to conduct routine security reviews, and take any and all necessary steps to improve your cyber-defenses and prevent ransomware from spreading across your networks. This is a risk that can easily be mitigated by following these seven recommendations:
Since phishing emails are predominantly used by attackers to distribute ransomware, you want to deploy a capable email security solution that can scan all attachments for malicious content and isolate all files embedded with ransomware.
3. Use a multi-layered approach to network security
Cyber-criminals are very good at using the latest exploit kits and web vulnerabilities to infect systems and devices with ransomware. Enhance your security posture by eliminating siloed security architecture. A more effective way is to employ an adaptive cyber defense platform that leverages multiple integrated threat prevention capabilities to provide many different ways to break the malware infection cycle, including advance threat protection, gateway anti-malware, intrusion prevention and other available network-based security services.
Not long ago, Yahoo users were targets of one of the largest malvertising campaign after a criminal entity bought an ad space on Yahoo’s website in order to plant malicious ads with the purpose of installing ransomware on users’ computers visiting the site. The redirection code planted in the malicious advertisements used SSL/TLS encryption, which made it difficult for traditional defense systems to detect.
If you’re currently not inspecting HTTPS traffic, then you are effectively blind to any attacks utilizing SSL/TLS. Therefore, it is absolutely essential that you deploy the next-generation firewall that has a high performing SSL inspection engine to rapidly decrypt and inspect all internet traffic coming from or going to clients for threats hidden within those SSL sessions.
