In today’s cash- and liquidity-focused business environment, transparency, standardization, and efficiency are paramount. Many organizations are putting heavy emphasis on straight-through processing (STP) of payments and receivables to help boost efficiencies across the supply chain. But how a company defines the scope of the STP process can have a major effect on whether the project reaches its ultimate potential for cost savings and streamlined workflows. The scope definition can impact which department owns the process, and process ownership is an important variable in determining the extent and effectiveness of STP development.

The demand for skilled IT security professionals is growing everyday in both the private and public sector, and much of today’s security training is dangerously out of step with current threats.
A recent Ponemon Cyber Attack study found that cyber crime was up 78% in 2013 vs. 2012, with resolution and recovery time more than doubling over the past year, costing organizations tens of millions of dollars annually.
Federal Computer Week has discovered a sudden demand for trained cyber security professionals that far outpaces supply, with 5,000 cybersecurity professionals being sought after by U.S. Cyber Command, the federal government needing 10,000 cybersecurity experts and the Department of Homeland Security demanding 600 new cybersecurity employees. The Cisco Annual Security Report, released last week, shows a shortage of more than a million security professionals across the globe in 2014.
To support the need for highly trained cybersecurity professionals, Cisco is releasing major updates to its industry leading CCNP Security Certification, as well as a new Cybersecurity Specialist Training and Certification program. The training offers hands on experience using multi-vendor products, and is based on real world data, teaching principles that can be used immediately in the workplace. Cisco is dedicated to providing network security engineers, analysts and product specialists with development opportunities to ensure on-the-job readiness to meet the future challenges of cyber defense.
Check out the video from CSO John N. Stewart about Cisco’s commitment to tackling the cybersecurity skills shortage and learn more about the New Certifications and Training here: www.cisco.com/go/securitycertifications
The current version of the Social Rewards program will be discontinued in August 2018.

SINGAPORE: An online poll sexualising female Muslim religious teachers has been assessed to have breached Singapore’s Internet regulations, said the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) on Friday (May 28).
The poll ranking female asatizah (religious teachers), which was posted on the MeWe social media platform, “promotes sexual violence or sexual activity involving coercion or non-consent”, said IMDA in a statement.
“Such content is unacceptable and has no place in Singapore. IMDA has assessed it constitutes prohibited content under Singapore’s Internet Code of Practice,” added the authority.
IMDA said it has contacted MeWe to request that it removes the “offending poll if it still remains on the platform”.
It has also contacted other social media platforms to ensure the post does not surface there.
In a Facebook post on Friday, Mrs Teo called the poll “revolting”, saying that “whoever is behind this isn’t just trying to be funny”.
“They have designed a deliberate exercise to demean women, and especially women who have dedicated themselves to upholding their faith. I’m appalled by it and join in the many calls to condemn this poll in the strongest terms,” said Mrs Teo.
She said her ministry will continue its work of protecting women and girls from “online harms”.

“Whether offline or online, respect and safety for women must be the norm. There should be no question about it,” said Mrs Teo.
President Halimah Yacob and Minister-in-charge of Muslim Affairs Masagos Zulkifli are among leaders who called on the authorities to investigate the poll.
In response to CNA’s queries, the Singapore Police Force said on Thursday that they have received a report about the poll and investigations are ongoing.
On its website, MeWe says its platform is for “law-abiding” people.
“We have a strict and clear Terms of Service protecting our members: Haters, bullies, porn, spammers, bots, lawbreakers, violence inciters, etc are prohibited.”
Responding to CNA’s queries, the social media platform said its team investigated the poll and found that it is no longer on MeWe.
“The user who created it deleted their own account, removing the poll and all of their content in the process,” said a MeWe spokesman on Saturday.

Capital One Financial announced late Monday it had learned of a data breach that it says involves the personal information of more than 100 million customers, as federal authorities arrested a suspected hacker in the case.
Paige A. Thompson — who also goes by the handle "erratic" — was charged with a single count of computer fraud and abuse in U.S. District Court in Seattle. Thompson made an initial appearance in court and was ordered to remain in custody pending a detention hearing Thursday.
The hacker got information including credit scores and balances plus the Social Security numbers of about 140,000 customers, the bank said.
In a statement to news media, the credit card giant said it learned of the problem on July 19, and acted quickly to prevent further exploitation.
Cokie Roberts Dies at 75
Longtime political journalist Cokie Roberts has died at the age of 75.
(Published Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2019) "Capital One immediately fixed the configuration vulnerability that this individual exploited and promptly began working with federal law enforcement," the company said in its statement. "The FBI has arrested the person responsible and that person is in custody. Based on our analysis to date, we believe it is unlikely that the information was used for fraud or disseminated by this individual. However, we will continue to investigate."
The FBI raided Thompson's residence Monday and seized digital devices. An initial search turned up files that referenced Capital One and "other entities that may have been targets of attempted or actual network intrusions."
A public defender appointed to represent Thompson did not immediately return an email seeking comment.

The company said most of the stolen information was taken from credit card applications filed by individuals and small business owners between 2005 and 2019. It said the stolen data includes names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, and income. Capital One also said about 140,000 customers' Social Security Numbers were accessed, along with 80,000 linked bank account numbers.
According to the FBI complaint, someone emailed the bank two days before that notifying it that leaked data had appeared on the code-hosting site GitHub, which is owned by Microsoft.
And a month before that, the FBI said, a Twitter user who went by "erratic" sent another user direct messages warning about distributing the bank's data, including names, birthdates and Social Security numbers. That user later reported the message to Capital One.
"Ive basically strapped myself with a bomb vest, (expletive) dropping capitol ones dox and admitting it," one said. "I wanna distribute those buckets i think first."
Capital One said it believes it is unlikely that the information was used for fraud, but it will continue to investigate. The data breach affected about 100 million people in the U.S. and 6 million in Canada.
The company will directly notify affected customers of the breach, and offer free credit monitoring and identity protection.

Equifax, one of the three giant credit-scoring agencies on Thursday announced that hackers had broken into a trove of personal data that could potentially affect some 143 million U.S. consumers.
“The information primarily includes names, Social Security numbers, birth dates, addresses and, in some instances, driver’s license numbers,” Equifax said in a statement. “In addition, credit card numbers for approximately 209,000 U.S. consumers, and certain dispute documents with personal identifying information for approximately 182,000 U.S. consumers, were accessed.”
In other words, this is a Big One – a Category-5 breach in the world of data breaches, to borrow a hurricane metaphor. The hack exposed the sort of personally sensitive information that in the hands of criminals allows them to engage in identity theft, fraud and blackmail.
“If you have a credit report, chances are you may be in this breach,” Pamela Dixon, executive director of the nonprofit World Privacy Forum, told The New York Times. “The chances are much better than 50 percent.”
Equifax has provided a site where you can find out if you have been impacted by this incident. Click here and then click on the red “Check Potential Impact” link, and follow directions. It takes just a second to enter the required information and get a result.
My result: “Based on the information provided, we believe that your personal information was not impacted by this incident.” (Phew.)
Whether it says you were affected or not, Equifax is also offering to enroll you free-of-charge for a credit file monitoring and identity theft protection program, which includes:
… 3-Bureau credit monitoring of Equifax, Experian and TransUnion credit reports; copies of Equifax credit reports; the ability to lock and unlock Equifax credit reports; identity theft insurance; and Internet scanning for Social Security numbers – all complimentary to U.S. consumers for one year.
That only requires a single click on “Enroll.”
The Equifax breach, was first detected on July 29, according to the Atlanta-based company, which then launched its own investigation, and continues to work with law enforcement. The cyberattack was not as large in scale as the one hitting Yahoo in 2016, but the threat to consumers is far more severe because of the nature of the data, The Times noted.
The event, “strikes at the heart of who we are and what we do,” said Equifax Chairman and CEO Richard F. Smith, in an apology to customers.
“I’ve told our entire team that our goal can’t be simply to fix the problem and move on. Confronting cybersecurity risks is a daily fight. While we’ve made significant investments in data security, we recognize we must do more. And we will.”
This is a reminder that, even if you dodged this bullet, you also must not be complacent.
“When breaches like these happen, consumers need to be diligent — and not just in the short term,” says Matt Schulz, senior industry analyst for CreditCards.com. “Just because nothing looks amiss on your bank statements or your credit report now, that doesn’t mean you haven’t been compromised. Bad guys can be very patient, so it’s important to keep an eye out long after this story fades from the headlines.”
He urges checking your online bank statements and credit card statements on a regular basis, “ideally weekly.”
If you see suspicious activity, the Federal Trade Commission urges you to report it immediately. You can do so by clicking here and following the instructions on the FTC website.

July 30, 2017 | Center for Cybersecurity | [email protected]
Asked to summarize what he learned at the week-long University of West Florida Center for Cybersecurity GenCyber Camp, West Florida High School sophomore Andrew Thompson rattled off password protection, detecting suspicious emails and how to use the Linux operating system among others.
“I wasn’t expecting a whole lot to be honest, but I really did like it,” Thompson said. “It was a lot of fun. I wouldn’t change a thing about it.”
In July, the University of West Florida Center for Cybersecurity hosted the only two National Security Agency / National Science Foundation Program funded GenCyber camps in Florida. Each week-long camp targeted high school students and teachers to increase interest in cybersecurity careers and workforce diversity, enhance cybersecurity awareness and improve cybersecurity content and teaching methods for high school curricula.
Students and teachers learned about the Cybersecurity First Principles, career opportunities in the region and networked with cybersecurity experts through engaging curricula and hands-on activities such as a scavenger hunt, NSA Day of Cyber and a private-eye program.
“Our GenCyber camps provide an opportunity for high school students and teachers to learn about Cybersecurity principles and career opportunities through hands-on learning and mentoring from cybersecurity faculty and professionals,” said Dr. Eman El-Sheikh, UWF Center for Cybersecurity director. “We hope that the experience inspires them to pursue cybersecurity educational opportunities at UWF and a career in our region’s growing cybersecurity community.”
UWF Center for Cybersecurity faculty, Anthony Pinto and Dustin Mink, and undergraduate student members of the UWF Cyber Club mentored camp participants. The hands-on training at the camp impressed Gulf Breeze High School junior Noah Zalar.
“I usually don’t like going to camps, but I actually enjoy this camp,” Zalar said. “Rather than just listening, you actually get to work on what you learn.”
Diana Hanks, a 2017 Pace High School graduate and incoming UWF freshman, cited learning code and applying the skills she learned in activities among the highlights of the camp.
Florida Virtual School sophomore Nicholas Baston said he benefited on Day 3 of the first camp from hearing a panel of experts offer their insights.
Edward Hart, Cigna information security automation consultant, Russ Holloway, lead information security engineer at Navy Federal Credit Union, NSA GenCyber Manager Tina Ladabouche and Tom Skinner, Northrop Grumman cyber solutions division deputy program manager, advised students to develop communication skills and learn to speak cyber language if they plan to pursue careers in cybersecurity.
Holloway and Ladabouche warned campers to be careful when posting material online.
“Everything you post is always online,” Ladabouche said.
“Online presence is like a big billboard,” Holloway added.
Holloway said what cybersecurity students learn now will in all probability be obsolete in two years, but the capacity to learn will pay dividends throughout their careers. Holloway touched on the challenges sophisticated hackers present Navy Federal Credit Union.
“We’re seeing such a high spike in attacks,” he said. “It’s all day, every day. We have a security operations center that is 24/7.”
Participants at the second camp heard from a panel that included Marine Corps Lt. Col. Warren Dickey, Jeremy Emerson, a cyber systems administrator at Northrop Grumman, Hixardt Technologies CEO and President Mike Hicks Jr. and GBSI Founder and CEO Randy Ramos.
Hicks put the earning potential for a cybersecurity professional in perspective when he said a UWF grad started at his company as an intern making $8 an hour. That same employee now earns $90,000 annually.
Ramos advised students to build up their fundamental skill-sets by concentrating on operating systems, programming languages, databases and networks.
Students asked the panel what steps the panelists took to be in administrative roles.
“The best way I’ve found to lead people is by empowering people,” Emerson said.
Escambia High junior Robert Schoonover said his cybersecurity knowledge grew exponentially from listening to the panel and participating in the camp activities.
“I’ve learned a lot of stuff I didn’t know before and learned to protect myself from cyber attacks,” Schoonover said. “It took me off guard how easy it is to hack. I was like, wow, that’s how people do this. It doesn’t take much effort.”
Local students and teachers attended the camp with one exception. Ethan Dickey, the son of Lt. Col. Warren Dickey, traveled from the Tampa area for the camp. The high school senior returned to UWF after touring the campus two months earlier.
“I wanted to visit UWF again, especially since they specialize in what I like to do,” Dickey said of cybersecurity.
Students and teachers learned separately in the morning but then paired up in the afternoon sessions. Teachers utilized their morning training to assist students with activities.
Teachers received a set of curricular materials and resources to integrate cybersecurity into their classes. They spent their final day of the camp presenting 10- to 15-minute lesson plans to their colleagues. The lesson plans ranged from password protection to how to detect phishing.
“I have learned so much. It’s good to be working with students and teachers,” said Bellview Middle School teacher Tia King, a computer fundamentals teacher. “All of the (teacher assistants) and instructors were wonderful about explaining things to us.”

Welcome to the third part of basics of SQL for SQL injection. As in the last part we took this url "http://fakesite.com/report.php?id=23" as an example and then assumed some basic queries by looking at the URL and then we tried different injections and learnt how to figure out which type of query we are facing. In this tutorial we will learn how we can understand which comment type we should use and why and how to find the number of columns
As discussed earlier following are the different types of comments used in SQLi.
so as i showed above test for '--' type comment in the same manner you can check for all commenting types and the one which gives same output as giving with "http://fakesite.com/report.php?id=23" then that can help you understand the type of internal query alongwith the comment that you can use.
Now as we have understood understanding and knowing the internal query and then finding the type of command we can use. First of all we will understand the basics of injecting.
So we have analysed above that if we try to sort our output with any number which is more than our column count then it will create error. So we can easily understand that we can use order by to know how many columns we have inside the query.
Now again lets take an example URL "http://fakesite.com/report.php?id=23" and start injecting it from starting:

So, shortly after posting yesterday's blog, my computer somehow became infected with a virus. I have anti-virus software, but it didn't really do it's job I guess, because I ran a scan just after discovering the virus and it wasn't picked up. My computer has been goofy for awhile, with it's screen being broken (apparently it's something to do with the display part of the motherboard so it's not easily fixable), and being unable to pick up the wireless signal after every 24 hours automatically like it's supposed to. I need a new laptop, but *SURPRISE* I haven't got the money to buy a new one, so I'm trying to make this one last as long as I can. Anyway, I did some research on my phone about the virus, and found that it's not an uncommon virus, but fixing it will be sort of tricky. So far today at work, I've printed out three different webpages with instructions and troubleshooting possibilities to rid my computer of this virtual pathogen. I've got my work cut out for me when I get home. Normally I'd just divert to my dad and see what he can do, but he's got enough on his plate and this looks like something I can do myself. Plus, if I do it, it will go much quicker. And if/when I fix it, I'll have just one more reason to like me.
But thank goodness for having a computer at work. I doubt I'll get my computer cleaned up enough to actually write a blog tonight (I'm actually planning on doing a little work on it tonight and then do a full-on overhaul tomorrow during the day), so I'm writing early today. I was thinking about getting drinks with my long-lost friend "Dane" tonight, but I think I'll probably postpone that.
I don't have too much more to write about yet, because it's still just noon, but I've still got like 5 hours here. I'll probably write some more in a few hours.

This study on reducing HIV/AIDS vulnerability in Central America was carried out with the following specific objectives: 1) Review the epidemiology of HIV and AIDS in Central America; 2) Assess National AIDS Programs, including surveillance systems, laboratory capacity, prevention, treatment and clinical care; 3) Assess the legal and regulatory framework, and discrimination against people with HIV and AIDS - particularly women - and its impact on treatment and prevention; and 4) Review successful interventions and good practices related to HIV in Central America carried out by NGOs and public organizations, including development of monitoring and evaluation systems. This study was conducted to support the current policy dialogue on strengthening HIV and AIDS national responses, in particular to: (i) build political leadership and commitment to prepare a regional action plan with coordinated strategies and common policies, (ii) strengthen and harmonize the legal and institutional framework for addressing the HIV epidemic in the region, (iii) identify and disseminate "best practices" for prevention through integrated efforts by the health sector, other government agencies and civil society and promote monitoring and impact evaluations, and (iv) set out the rationale for establishing a regional procurement process for HIV-related pharmaceuticals and supplies. Finally, this study established a baseline against which to measure progress and to identify new challenges for the World Bank-financed Regional HIV/AIDS Project to address. This paper presents information on the HIV and AIDS situation in Honduras. It begins with a discussion of the epidemiology of HIV and AIDS, and describes how the epidemic is perceived among the population. It then presents information on the national response.

The common advice — and practice — about passwords is wrong, says cyber security expert Hoyt Kesterson. The former chairman of the international committee involved in creating digital signature credential protocols, the current senior security architect for Scottsdale-based Terra Verde Services points out that oftentimes, being required to frequently change their password puts people in the position of having to write them down somewhere to remember them — and yet there are programs that make it very easy for computers to break them. In fact, tables have been generated that contain all possible combinations for seven- or eight-character passwords, so whatever “new” password a user creates already exists. Criminals may gain access to the files of a bank, credit card company or other authenticator — such as by an employee opening a perhaps innocent-looking email — and get into the virtual vault where passwords are stored. “The only thing of value is long passwords, or passphrases the user could easily remember. Not complexity, not frequent change,” Kesterson says. Most systems will allow long passwords even though they may ask for only seven or eight, but Kesterson says they deal with them in a way that defeats the effort: “They take a 14-character password and break it into two seven-character passwords,” he explains. Since those sequences are already known, criminals can simply try the finite combinations of the two sequences.
For individuals, passwords may be broken through social engineering — the attacker simply studying a person’s postings on Facebook or other social media sites.
Businesses that conduct transactions through wire fund transfers are susceptible to significant losses because of these password breaches. “By a variety of technical means, people can pretend to be a company and tell the bank to wire transfer funds,” Kesterson says. He recommends businesses use dual-factor authentication with their financial institution, for instance having the bank verify the transaction via both phone and computer. “It’s hard [for criminals] to compromise two devices at the same time.” While this is more expensive than single-factor authentication, a risk assessment by the business should also consider impact beyond just the loss of funds. Shares Kesterson, “It has put companies out of business.”
Kesterson also notes that a business’s IT staff may not have security expertise, pointing out that, usually, “the IT staff is just focused on getting the company’s job done.”
Paul Schaaf, special agent with the Phoenix Division of the FBI, describes three trends in security attacks: distributed denial of service, compromises of Web-based applications and credit card point-of-sale compromises. Phones and tablets are as susceptible as computers. “If it has code in it, it can be corrupted and written to,” Schaaf says.
Denial of service attacks result in a computer being simply overwhelmed by commands. “Hacktivist groups rent bot-nets (a bunch of computers),” says Schaaf, describing them as Internet bullies. Companies can get denial of service protection through their Internet service provider or can hire another company to provide it.
Compromises of Web-based applications, such as payroll service in the cloud, occur through viruses on individual computers. “They’re not hitting the application, but an individual account such as the person in a pizza shop who logs in.” Schaaf notes that two-factor authentication can thwart these attacks, a strategy that is also valuable when working with companies remotely. “To verify an IP address, have them send a code to your phone [for you] to type in.”
With credit card point-of-sale compromises, the malicious code is on the device at the check-out stand, and grabs account information when a credit card is swiped.
Another problem Schaaf identifies is ransom-ware, whereby the attack encrypts a person’s files and a ransom payment is demanded to decrypt them. ”They do a two-factor encryption. You have the public key, but they have the private key [that they introduced]. So back up your system, either off-site or in the cloud — and use a read-only copy.”

Data security is one of the most important topics across all major industries and the emerging cannabis industry is no different. If recent events have taught us anything, it is how crucial it is to protect client data and implement security processes to mitigate the risk of intrusion, data theft or even worse complete data loss. Traditional industries have the benefit of experience and mature regulations that help enforce fail proofs. The cannabis industry on the other hand is still largely unregulated and protocols for data security are even scarcer, leaving it up to the industry to self-regulate.
Humor me for a minute and let us assume that all software providers are disciplined and leverage data security best practices. How can you be assured that your data is not being shared or sold to third parties without your knowledge or consent? In an ever evolving technology driven world where API integrations are as valuable as gold, ask yourself how does your service provider manage your data. To understand thismore clearly, let us dive deeper into the technology.
There are likely infinite use cases of API’s in the cannabis industry and as more industry solutions emerge there are even more opportunities for collaboration resulting in benefits to operators. Here are a few examples that exist today.
Compliance Data Management: Many states and regulatory bodies leverage centralized compliance tools to collect data from licensees. Metrc is the service provider in Oregon and Coloardo. BioTrackTHC in Washington. California is in the process of selecting their vendor. These tools are great for regulators to manage licensees, but fall short for operators who require a more intuitive solution that integrates seamlessly into the operational flow. By leveraging APIs, service providers that are focused on operators collect the necessary compliance data and feed it into the state system, providing licensees an alternative for managing compliance data.
Supply Chain Automation: Most service providers focus on niche aspects of the value chain, be it cultivation, manufacturing, distribution or retail. However, most operators will have requirements that touch functions across the entire value chain. API integrations allow operators to choose the best solution for each area of their business and have their data flow consistently across each tool. For example, a cultivator may use one tool to manage their production and another tool to manage their customers and orders. If those two systems are integrated through an API, data like lab test results or LOT information can carry forward automatically without the user inputting data twice, saving time and providing a powerful user experience.
Benchmarking & Analytics: Not unique to the cannabis industry, knowledge is power. Over the last few years, a number of providers have emerged who aggregate data from operators across the industry and offer business intelligence that empower operators to make better decisions. Like most things in life, the quality of the output is only as valuable as the quality of the input. API integration allows operators to send their data to these third party platforms and receive comparison insights, however, the value of these insights is based on the integrity and scale of the data collected, which is often a significant issue.
Buyer Beware
It all sounds really great, right? Regrettably, we are seeing some troubling trends in the cannabis industry with horror stories of service providers providing full, personally identifiable data to third party platforms without the consent of their clients. Until cannabis regulations catch up to more traditional industries (e.g., retail, banking, etc.), it is a buyer beware market in the cannabis industry. That being said, there are steps operators can take to protect themselves.
Ask The Tough Questions: It is critical that you ask any software provider you are contemplating what their data security and ownership protocols are, especially during these times of regulatory ambiguity. Ensure your search includes multiple service providers and see how they compare with their data security and ownership responses.
Make Data Security and Ownership a Priority: Too often we see operators focused solely on cost or product functionality, but completely disregard the value of their core asset: the data. Only you will know just how valuable the data is, but at a minimum in this highly controlled cannabis industry, you can be assured that data security is high on the list for regulators.
Read Your License Agreement: Your software license agreement is one of your only protections against the unauthorized use of your data, which makes it all the more important to read the agreement and ensure there is adequate language regarding the ownership and use of data. If the language does not reflect your intentions or is omitted completely, hold the service provider accountable.
As seed-to-sale providers constantly receive requests by third parties to access client data, we implore the industry to adopt the philosophy of empowering clients with powerful tools to manage their data and control who gets access. By working with third parties to build API calls, seed-to-sale providers lay out the bridge to allow for communication between two platforms, but should ultimately provide complete control to the client to open the gates and grant access to third parties. As the industry continues to evolve and data becomes more valuable, data monetization will become a key concern, making it that much more important to have precise clarity on data ownership up front.

In order to help small to medium-sized businesses (SMB) in the fight against email-borne threats, GFI® Software today announced the availability of GFI MailEssentials 2012 UnifiedProtection. The solution features robust anti-spam functionality, now combined with up to five virus detection engines, including the award-winning GFI VIPRE®antivirus, to give SMBs comprehensive protection against phishing, spam and virus-carrying emails.
Email is a critical business function that is also a conduit through which malware can enter an organization and wreak havoc. A continuing battle for organizations of all sizes, spam emails represent more than 70% of all emails sent on a daily basis and a recent GFI survey of SMBs found that nearly half of respondents (44%) had suffered a data breach as a direct result of email-borne malware. 84% of those surveyed said the volume of spam in their organization had either increased (52%) or remained the same (32%) in the past year. One of the main reasons SMBs are still struggling with the influx is that 48% simply rely on the anti-spam component of their antivirus solution to block spam, rather than employing a dedicated email security solution. GFI MailEssentials 2012 UnifiedProtection combines GFI’s top email security technologies to deliver a spam capture rate greater than 99% with low false positives and multiple antivirus engines, mitigating the risks associated with malware-laden email.
To help SMBs protect their networks and intellectual property from email-based threats, GFI MailEssentials 2012 UnifiedProtection has bolstered its robust anti-spam and anti-phishing capabilities by adding GFI VIPRE and Bitdefender virus scanning engines to its protection capabilities. For heightened protection, administrators may also license additional engines from Kaspersky Lab, McAfee and Norman. By integrating robust virus detection into GFI MailEssentials, IT administrators can now deploy a complete, easy-to-use email security solution, all managed from a single, redesigned and intuitive, web-based dashboard.
Existing GFI MailEssentials customers* will be able to easily upgrade to GFI MailEssentials 2012 UnifiedProtection and enjoy the same reliable spam detection they have come to value and expect, together with the benefit of award-winning antivirus capabilities. Similarly, GFI MailSecurity* customers will be able to upgrade to GFI MailEssentials 2012 UnifiedProtection and avail themselves of top-notch spam filtering in addition to the robust email security they have grown accustomed to.
“It is clear that email-bornethreats are as dangerous as ever, and although spam is not a new problem, it is one that SMBs still need to adequately address,” said Phil Bousfield, general manager, Infrastructure business unit, at GFI Software. “Spammers and malware writers are well aware that even the most savvy end-user can be fooled into clicking a link in an email and infecting their computer or entire company network. GFI MailEssentials 2012 UnifiedProtection gives administrators more peace of mind, knowing that far fewer spam and virus-carrying emails will make it to end user mailboxes.” “SMB administrators want solutions that provide robust features and capabilities without requiring heavy management and time commitments,” continued Bousfield. “With GFI MailEssentials UnifiedProtection, they will be getting a powerful, complete, best-in-class email security solution that allows them to spend more time addressing the needs of their end users and less time worrying about them clicking on malicious links contained within their emails.”

Time is money, or so the saying goes. And even if you’re plunked down in front of your PC for fun or a hobby project, every unnecessary click and hassle you bump into burns away precious seconds of your life.
Nobody wants to waste time endlessly navigating menus. Fear not! Dr. PCWorld has the cure. Take these 15 secret Windows tricks to streamline your computing experience and eradicate little irritations that trip you up throughout the day. You won’t need to call me in the morning.
Launch taskbar programs with your keyboard
Many of us—especially users of the Start Menu-less Windows 8—use the Windows taskbar as a quick launch bar, populating it with our day-to-day programs. Opening those programs is as simple as clicking them, but there’s actually a faster way to launch software on your taskbar: Simple keyboard combinations.
Every program to the right of the Start button is assigned its own numerical shortcut, with the first program being “1,” the second being “2,” and so on, all the way to the 10th taskbar shortcut, which gets “0.” Pressing the Windows key, plus the number of the program you want to open, launches it. For example, in the image at left, pressing Win + 3 launches the Chrome browser.
Quickly launch a new instance of a program
Those taskbar icons can also be used to quickly launch a second (or third, or fourth, or…) instance of a program—a fresh browser window alongside an already populated one, for instance, or another Windows Explorer window.
Doing so is easy: Just hold down the Shift button, then open the program as you normally would, either via a left click of the mouse or the aforementioned quick-launch keyboard trick. Boom! A new, clean version of the software appears alongside the one you already have open.
Copy a file path to the Clipboard
Why would you ever want to copy a file path to the Windows Clipboard? Well, you may just want to tell someone how to browse to a common location for a given application. I, however, use it to mark the spot of a local file I’ve found using Windows Explorer, so it’ll be handy later—to upload photos to Facebook or document attachments to Outlook emails, for instance.
To copy a file path to your Clipboard, hold down the Shift key, right-click the file or folder you want, then select the newly revealed “Copy as Path” option. Now you can paste the info wherever you’d like—including the “File name” portion of Browse dialog boxes, with no extra browsing required.
More secret right-click options
Secret right-click options revealed by the Shift key don’t end with file paths, though.
The basic Send to tool that appears as an option when you right-click on a file or folder is handy enough indeed, allowing you to move the item quickly to a handful of locations on your PC, add it to a .zip archive, or send it off in an email or fax.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg! Holding down the Shift key as you right-click a file or folder will add an absolute ton of new folder locations to the basic Send to menu.
When you’re shuffling files around willy-nilly, you’re bound to accidentally drop one in the wrong folder—or almost more irritating, errantly make copies of a slew of files rather than simply dragging them to a new location. Arrrrrrrrg.
Rather than trying to track that missing file down or manually delete the legion of copies, whip out the universal Get Out of Jail Free card that, somewhat surprisingly, also works within Windows proper: Crtl + Z. The keyboard shortcut undoes your last action, restoring order when chaos suddenly appears. (Crtl + C and Crtl + V for copying and pasting, respectively, also work properly within Windows.)
Add mouse-friendly checkboxes to icons
For every geek who swears by keyboard shortcuts, there are a dozen casual users who rely on their mice. Activating icon checkboxes lets you select multiple files to manage simultaneously, without having to hold down the Ctrl button as you click each one.
…unless you add checkboxes to Windows icons, that is. In Windows 7, type Folder options into the Start Menu’s search bar. Next, open the “View” tab in the window that appears and ensure the “Use check boxes to select items” checkbox is checked. In Windows 8, just open Windows Explorer, open the “View” tab, and check the “Item check boxes” box in the Show/Hide pane.
Aero Snap desktop windows
One of the most appealing aspects of Windows 8’s touch-friendly side is its ability to “Snap” multiple open apps side-by-side. The feature comes in very handy on the desktop as well if you need to start multitasking. Simply click an open window and drag it to the left or right edge of the screen to automatically resize it to fill that half of the desktop. Dragging a window to the top edge expands it to full screen.
If you’re more into keyboard commands, Windows key + left arrow, Windows key + right arrow, and Windows key + up arrow snaps the selected window in the same manner.
Windows’ powerful, rarely used search tools
Most people search Windows using the Start menu or Windows 8’s “start typing to search” Start screen. But for more granular results, try the search box in the upper-right corner of Windows Explorer.
The advanced search tools let you add fancy filters, from date and file type to Boolean operands. This Microsoft page offers a full list of such commands in Windows 7. In Windows 8, you’ll find similar functionality in the Search Tools section of the File Explorer’s Ribbon UI.
You can create a shortcut to a custom search by simply dragging the magnifying-glass icon in the File Explorer location bar to the desired location. Clicking it will always give you up-to-date results.
Pin common items to Jump Lists
You can also pin the custom search shortcut to the File Explorer Jump List, causing it to appear when you right-click File Explorer’s taskbar icon. Which brings up another point: Jump Lists rock.
Right-clicking a taskbar icon brings up that’s program’s Jump List—quick links to the most recent files you’ve opened with that program. Got a file or template you open often? Pin it to the Jump List by dragging it onto the program’s taskbar icon, or by clicking the pin icon to the right of the file name in the Jump List itself. Jump Lists can skirt around Windows’ frustrating refusal to pin individual folders to the taskbar, pinning folders to the Jump List instead.
Increase the number of items in Jump Lists
If you come to lean heavily on Jump Lists (as yours truly does), there may eventually come a time when you have so many files pinned to programs that the default 10-item limit on Jump Lists just won’t cut it. Fortunately, it’s easy to alter the number of files displayed by Jump Lists.
Right-click on the taskbar, select Properties, then open the Jump List tab in the dialog box that appears. Here, you’ll find some basic tools that let you fiddle with how Jump Lists behave—including the number of items you want displayed when you open a Jump List. Set it to the number you desire (more than 15 to 20 gets unwieldy) and click OK to save your changes.
Add new folders to File Explorer’s Favorites
Another way to quickly open favored folders is, well, by adding them to the Favorites section at the top of File Explorer. The process for doing so isn’t exactly obvious, however.
Drag the folder itself onto the Favorites icon in File Explorer’s left-hand pane, or navigate to the chosen folder directly, then right-click the Favorites icon and select Add current location to Favorites.
Dropping common folders into Favorites is especially handy when it comes time to save files. If you wind up filling your Favorites with too much stuff, just right-click the icon in File Explorer and select Restore Favorites links to wipe the slate clean and bring back the default folders.
DIY keyboard shortcuts
Windows has a ton of keyboard shortcuts baked right in, but you can roll your own to open the software of your choice lickety-split—no mouse-clicking or launcher-hunting required.
Right-click the program’s launch icon and select Properties. Open the Shortcut tab, then click in the “Shortcut key” field and press the key you want to use to launch the program. Windows will assign Ctrl + Alt + <key of your choice> as a keyboard shortcut to open the program. It’s a seriously useful trick, especially if you don’t want to stuff your taskbar full of quick-launch program icons. Don’t forget to click OK when you’re done to save the shortcut.
Browse all of the web or all of your PC from your taskbar
If your taskbar isn’t already overflowing with software icons and their associated Jump Lists, you can add even more functionality with toolbars.
Right-click on your taskbar once again, select Properties, then open the Toolbars tab. A list of Windows’ available toolbars appears/ Simply check the box next to ones you want to add to your taskbar and click OK. I like the Address and Desktop toolbars. Address plops a URL bar in your taskbar, which you can use to browse directly to any website in your default browser. Desktop adds a drop-down (drop-up?) menu you can use to browse to any folder or file on your PC. Sweet!
Old-school task switcher
Okay, okay, this won’t cure any headaches, but it’s just plain cool. By this point, most people know the age-old Alt + Tab keyboard command to quickly switch between open programs (and the desktop). But did you know the classic Windows XP-style task switcher is still hidden within even the latest versions of Windows?
Just hold one Alt button, press and release the other Alt button (while still holding the first one), then start pressing Tab to rotate through software like it’s 2001.
Deeper, darker, more powerful secrets
These tips are just the tip of the iceberg. If you truly want to squeeze Windows for all its worth, check out PCWorld’s guide to 17 obscure Windows tools and tricks too powerful to overlook. Windows is so deep and flexible that many of us never touch its more potent tools—and beneath Internet Explorer and the Start button hides a universe of features that are positively brimming with potential.

Year after year, I have noticed that my thoughts seem turn to Russia during this season. Back in the 1980s, at a time when the Cold War was raging and we were praying for Russian Christians to know freedom to worship in their land, the thought that we would be able one day to feast on Russian worship at the click of a button, was beyond anything we could have imagined.
We cannot afford to be naïve, however. The hinges that hold the door to this corridor of relative freedom are fragile in the extreme and vulnerable to pressure. Western sanctions remain in place against Russia, and Russian ‘push back’ continues at many levels. We have spoken before in some depth about the speed at which Russia is developing its armed forces – a fact that has so concerned their neighbours that Scandinavian countries are now reintroducing conscription.
We have stressed many times the importance of praying about the cyber threats that exist in today’s world. One of the main challenges now is something almost as simple and old-fashioned as snipping a thread with scissors. The armed forces have known for a long time something that has only recently come to public attention: that Russia has developed sophisticated techniques to cut the all important but highly vulnerable transatlantic cables that link America, Europe and the rest of the world.
Since something like 97 per cent of all our internet communications and £8 trillion of daily financial transactions pass along a network of just over 200 fibre optic cables no thicker than a can of beer – and some much thinner still – laid at great expense along the floor of the oceans, where would we be without them? They are as indispensable to modern society as bees are in their work of terms of pollinating crops.
You may well have seen this threat highlighted in the news recently, but for those of you would be like to explore it in more detail, you may find the following articles, The internet’s Undersea Cables and This physical network is the indispensable infrastructure of the 21st century) interesting, readable and informative. Russian surface ships and submarines have been seen operating extensively in the location of these cables now for some years.
Year by year Russian forces creeping have been creeping ever further into Georgian territory. This article explains why this is significant, along with similar advances into Ukraine.
It seems entirely appropriate to make such matters a major part of our focus on Russia in prayer.
What we are really longing for is to see the Lord at work in Russia! We thought you might enjoy dipping into some Russian worship therefore!
Join the four and a half million people who have soaked in this powerful YouTube as we pray for that vast country.
There is no translation, which makes it a good opportunity to pray as the Spirit leads. If the style is not in your usual tradition take time to adjust to it – there is much to draw from here. And may the power of the Lord pierce the veil that clouds the spiritual sight of so many in Russia, just as it does in our own nation: from the humblest dweller in city, village or institution right up into the places of power and the machinations of the Kremlin.

Fears over cloud cybersecurity are mounting after a massive data breach at Capital One.
The country's 10th largest bank revealed last week that a hacker had gained access to the personal data of more than 100 million customers stored in the cloud in one of the biggest data breaches in history.
FBI agents arrested Seattle systems engineer Paige Thompson shortly after the breach was announced. According to a Justice Department complaint, Thompson previously worked at a cloud hosting company used by Capital One, though it didn't specify which. Amazon Web Services confirmed that Thompson worked there three years ago.
Capital One says the hacker accessed the personal data of credit card applicants, including names, addresses, phone numbers, income, credit scores and payment history. The hacker gained access to 140,000 Social Security numbers, one million Canadian Social Insurance numbers and 80,000 bank account numbers. The data was stored in the AWS cloud.
The case appears to confirm the worst fears of businesses about storing data in the cloud.
Many financial institutions have declined to migrate customers’ personal data to the public cloud, citing security concerns and unease about sharing cloud capacity with rivals. Instead, they have tended to maintain their own data centers or have adopted private cloud strategies where data is protected by their own internal fire walls.
Capital One stands out from other financial institutions in its adoption of the public cloud, proudly unveiling its cloud strategy on the main stage at an AWS event in 2015.
The bank sees itself as a technology-driven company and has moved many of its apps on to AWS. It views security as one of the big pluses of moving data on to AWS because the cloud vendor could leverage its specialized knowledge to update security systems faster and more effectively than any financial institution.
But was Capital One’s faith in cloud security misplaced? Perhaps not. The Verge website casts doubt on whether the breach was a cyberattack in the usual sense. “The closer you look, the stranger the story is,” says the site.
It points out that Thompson, an experienced systems engineer, appeared to have taken no steps to cover her tracks when accessing the data and that she was easily tracked down.
There is no information on what she did with the data, but neither is their evidence that she tried to sell it. And the site says that the vulnerability in the firewall was a misconfiguration rather than an exploit – leading some to wonder if Thompson might have been a well-intentioned researcher who went a little too far.
Unusual data theft
This may not have been data theft in the traditional sense. But even if the attack was carried out with malicious intent, some analysts believe that the cloud is still far safer than company-owned data centers. The breach, they say, was not so much a cloud security issue as the action of an individual worker.
As the data collected by businesses explodes, they are finding their own data centers are ill-equipped to handle the flow. They are increasingly renting compute power and storage space from third party vendors – cloud providers such as AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. But in the process, they are putting the security of their data into the hands of separate companies.
Data regulators place the onus squarely on the shoulders of data controllers to protect personal data from theft or corruption.
Huge fines have been levied on companies for data breaches. Equifax has agreed to pay up to a $700 million penalty for a data breach in 2017 that affected more than 147 million customers. Hackers exploited a weakness in a company database, showing that on-premise data storage is vulnerable to attack.
In Capital One’s case, an investigation has been launched by the New York state attorney general’s office, which says that personal-data safeguards were lacking. Depending on the outcome, the bank could face a substantial fine.
More will become known as the case unfolds, but it suggests that insider cyber threats can be just as devastating as those launched from outside a company’s network.

China's largest search engine Baidu is deleting millions of documents from its online library platform, in response to growing criticism from a group of authors that the company offers pirated copies of their works.
Baidu evaluated about 2.8 million files in the library's literary works category, deleting most of the files, according to spokesman Kaiser Kuo. The company continues to delete files as it processes other sections of the library.
Baidu Library, or Baidu Wenku as it is known in Chinese, allows users to upload documents to the site to share them. This has drawn complaints that the platform is a hotbed for piracy. In mid-March, the site held more than 20 million documents, but now the total has fallen to 16.5 million. The literary works category currently contains a mere 1,231 files.
Baidu launched the online library at the end of 2009, prompting a stream of complaints. Those concerns, however, turned into a public outcry earlier this month when a group of 40 Chinese writers released a letter slamming Baidu for the piracy on the site.
While the authors continue to express their dismay with the search giant, Baidu hopes its recent action to rid the site of piracy will show its critics that the company is intent on protecting intellectual property.
"We hope that authors and publishers will recognize this as a sign of good faith and of the seriousness of our intention to keep infringing materials off the site going forward," Kuo said in an e-mail.
Baidu is China's largest search engine with a 75.5 percent market share, according to Beijing-based research firm Analysys International. But the company has faced numerous allegations that the site supports online piracy.
For years, Baidu's MP3 search has been accused of providing links to illegal songs hosted on third party sites, with a recent U.S. government report naming Baidu as a "notorious market." But the MP3 search service continues to operate and has so far withstood lawsuits.
Baidu's MP3 service has not been shut down because it only searches the Web for what music links are already available, said Mark Natkin, the managing director of Beijing-based Marbridge Consulting. In contrast, Baidu Library actively stores and hosts all the documents uploaded to the site, making the company responsible for its contents, he said.
The uproar has also drawn the attention of Chinese authorities such as the General Administration of Press and Publication, forcing Baidu to take action, Natkin said: "Baidu is remarkable adroit at gauging exactly where the line is and knowing when it needs to step back."
During a conference held earlier this week, Baidu CEO Robin Li said the company would pull the plug on the library platform if it could not be managed correctly.
But Natkin said he doesn't expect the problems with Baidu Library to reach that point, considering the measures the company is already taking. "I would not be surprised to see Baidu navigate this without having to shut down (Baidu) Wenku," he said.

A bipartisan bill that would create a way to detect national security risks in the supply chain likely won’t be taken up this Congress, one of the legislation’s cosponsors said Wednesday.
Outgoing Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), who introduced the bill alongside Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.) earlier this year, said she doesn’t “know if there’s going to be a chance to work on that before the end of Congress.” “I can’t imagine it’s going to get in anything,” McCaskill said.
{mosads}“It could, I guess, but I doubt it,” she added.
A spokesperson for Lankford said the Republican “is still working to get it done before the end of the year.”
If passed, the bill would create the Federal Acquisition Security Council, which would evaluate foreign-made products for any potential threats they pose to national security.
The council would, with the help of private firms, also create criteria for assessing supply chain threats. And the group would require the government to establish its own strategy for handling the risks once they are discovered.
The legislation is currently under consideration by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
A spokesperson for the panel’s chairman, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), told The Hill that the senator is optimistic that the measure could still pass before the end of the year.
Sen. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) is set to take over as ranking member of the committee after the current ranking member, McCaskill, lost her reelection bid last month.
Peters told reporters on Wednesday that he is considering replacing McCaskill as the cosponsor on the legislation.
“I don’t have any announcements on that right now, but it’s something we’re taking a look at,” he said.
The supply chain has emerged as a hot topic for both Trump administration officials and lawmakers in recent months, spotlighted by concerns over tech made in China by firms like Huawei and ZTE, as well as software created by the Russian Kaspersky Lab.
The White House reportedly had a pair of executive orders addressing supply chain risks in the works earlier this year, but appears to have handed off the responsibility to Congress.

Congress on Friday approved its first major cybersecurity bill in years as part of a sweeping end-of-year spending deal.
The legislation, which provides incentives for companies to share data on hacking threats with the government without fear of facing customer lawsuits, became law when President Obama signed the $1.15 trillion omnibus spending bill.
{mosads}Now that all the votes have been cast, here’s who came out on top, and who suffered setbacks.
WINNERS
Sens. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.)
McConnell, the Senate’s majority leader, has struggled to unify his caucus on surveillance and privacy legislation.
During the high-profile debate over reauthorizing the National Security Agency’s collection of data, McConnell and Burr, the Senate Intelligence Committee chairman, were rebuked by the GOP’s civil liberties wing.
This time around, Burr led the charge on the Senate’s cyber bill with Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), the Intelligence panel’s top Democrat.
The pair was able to secure considerable bipartisan support for a bill that was opposed by much of the same coalition that successfully overrode McConnell and Burr during the NSA debate.
After the bill passed Friday, McConnell told reporters the cyber bill was “near the top of my list” for 2015.
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Big business groups such as the Chamber of Commerce, the Financial Services Roundtable and the National Retail Federation made the cyber bill a top legislative priority this year.
The groups won concessions during the final negotiations as the House and Senate combined three bills into the compromise text that passed Friday.
According to people tracking the final discussions, negotiators bowed to industry pressure and dropped a clause that would have directed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to evaluate the cybersecurity readiness at roughly 65 companies behind critical infrastructure.
The White House
In January, the White House issued its own cyber info-sharing legislative proposal, which some believed might rival the offering from Burr and Feinstein.
Initially, the two efforts seemed far apart. But the White House and its Capitol Hill allies, including Senate Homeland Security Committee ranking member Tom Carper (D-Del.), were able to inject a series of administration-favored clauses into the final bill.
They worked with Burr and Feinstein to craft a manager’s package that was adopted as an amendment shortly before the Senate bill passed.
The White House has said it is mostly pleased with the final compromise language.
Jeb Bush and Carly Fiorina
Bush and Fiorina have been the two Republican presidential candidates stumping hardest for the cyber bill.
Both have criticized Obama for not moving swifter on efforts to better engage the private sector on combating cyberattacks.
Earlier this week, Fiorina, the former head of tech firm Hewlett-Packard, reiterated her support for the measure while laying out her cybersecurity plan.
The cyber bill’s passage is a serious blow to privacy groups’ efforts to scale back the government’s surveillance arm.
Since the 2013 disclosures by Edward Snowden, a coalition of digital rights groups, libertarian Republicans and tech-focused Democrats have recorded a number of incremental victories, including the NSA reform bill where they won out over McConnell and Burr.
Friday’s vote puts a stop to that winning streak.
While the final bill is an improvement over similar legislation that nearly passed last year, the language did not go nearly far enough to draw privacy advocates’ support.
“Ultimately this will be embarrassing for Congress,” said Nathan White, senior legislative manager at digital rights group Access Now.
A last-ditch amendment from Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), the chairman of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, would have stripped the cyber text from the omnibus. It failed to get a floor vote.
Lawmakers opposed to the bill acknowledged they ended up on the losing side.
“It’s an ongoing battle and this is a major step backwards from the progress we’ve been making,” said Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.).
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.)
Many thought Sen. Rand Paul would use the cyber bill as another chance to take a stand against government surveillance.
His White House bid got off to a hot start with his long tirades against government surveillance during the NSA debate.
But aside from a brief floor speech shortly before the Senate passed its cyber bill, Paul was mostly absent from the overall debate.
Wyden led the charge against the cyber bill in the upper chamber, solidifying his tech bona fides and his place as a favorite ally of the digital rights community.
In speech after speech, Wyden ranted against the bill’s lack of privacy provisions, arguing the measure would boost government surveillance without improving cyber defenses.
Ultimately, Wyden failed in his bid to alter the text. But his favored amendments received more support than many expected, which Wyden saw as evidence he was getting through to some senators in Congress.
“When you have a reactive Congress — we’ve all seen these cyberattacks — and somebody says here’s a cybersecurity bill, you always have a big educational challenge,” he told reporters just before the Senate bill passed.
Silicon Valley
Major Silicon Valley players such as Apple, Twitter and Yelp all came out against the Senate’s measure before it passed.
Several prominent tech trade groups, including the Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA), joined them in a push to alter the bill.
A number of the group’s requested changes were made through the Burr-Feinstein manager’s package that was adopted as an amendment.
Despite this, none of these tech companies or trade groups ultimately supported the final bill.
Numerous top tech firms and social media have indicated they will simply not participate in the information-sharing program set up under the bill.

Mobile telecommunications services in Latvia, a small republic on the frontier between the European Union and the old Soviet Union, may already have been the target of a cyber attack in August 2017.
Now Latvijas Mobilais Telefons (LMT), the country’s largest mobile operator, is inviting would-be belligerents to test their cyber weapons on its network — or rather, on a simulation of it, called the Mobile Cyber Range.
The range was used by NATO’s Cooperative Cyber Defense Centre of Excellence as part of Exercise Crossed Swords in February 2018. Crossed Swords is the training ground for the “red team” that simulates attacks on NATO cyber infrastructure in another NATO exercise, Locked Shields.

Since its fall 2016 launch, Claroty has enjoyed an extended period of tremendous momentum and achievement. During this time, the company has differentiated itself in several areas:
• A Singular Platform: Claroty competes with other ICS/OT security vendors and a growing list of vendors who have followed Claroty’s lead and attempted to imitate its approach. While these competitors offer point solutions, Claroty delivers a single pane of glass for continuous threat detection, secure remote access (for third-party vendors) and enterprise management. As such, the company stands alone as the only provider offering a full suite of solutions in one platform.
• Global Customer and Partner Traction: Serving and targeting the S&P 500, and Fortune 500 and 1,000 communities, Claroty has secured multiple seven-figure deals with thousands upon thousands of devices monitored. Currently, the Claroty Platform is deployed in complex enterprise-class production environments in 10 vertical markets across 6 continents. Additionally, Claroty has approached the market with a determination to partner with the world’s largest industrial control vendors, systems integrators and security companies. Over the past year, Claroty has quickly become the strategic partner of choice for high-profile brands such as Rockwell, Schneider Electric, Cisco and Accenture.
• Unmatched Executive Leadership: Earlier this year, Claroty named former Executive Chairman, CEO and Chairman of the Board of FireEye Dave DeWalt as Chairman of the Board. With more than 20 years in the technology space, Dave brings a track record of identifying innovative, high-growth security companies and fueling their market dominance. In addition to his deep security industry expertise, Dave’s role as Vice Chair of Safety and Security on the Delta Airlines Board of Directors provides him with an intimate understanding of the issues confronting OT network operators across nearly every major industry. With his unparalleled expertise, Dave solidifies Claroty as the one-to-watch in ICS/OT security.
Brief Overview
The Claroty Platform is designed to address the unique safety and reliability requirements necessary to protect ICS, SCADA, IIoT and other critical networks. Claroty dives deep into control networks to uncover hidden issues, and generates actionable insights to secure and optimize the most complex Operational Technology (OT) environments. The Claroty Platform extracts critical data by monitoring all network communication, establishing a high-fidelity baseline model for rapid detection of anomalous behavior. Combining native OT knowledge with advanced models and algorithms, Claroty produces context-rich alerts that notify engineers, operators and security professionals to malicious attacks and process integrity issues that may impact industrial operations.
With CISOs seeking to deploy an integrated ICS/OT security platform, rather than cobble together disparate point products, Claroty integrates across multiple plants for better visibility into anomalies and threats. The Claroty Platform provides the deepest visibility across all OT layers; the broadest protocol coverage; superior anomaly and change detection; continuous, real-time monitoring; enterprise scalability; and “passive” deep packet inspection that is safe for all devices and imposes zero impact on OT networks. Notably, Claroty recently introduced several features that enable industrial asset owners to significantly reduce risk, and manage and audit access to their most critical systems.
These key capabilities include:
• Access Control: Users can granularly control who has access, what they have access to and even time of access to address critical tasks without leaving an open door.
• Workflow: Users can manage, approve and track all requests for remote access to the most important systems.
• Session Recording: High-definition recordings provide full accountability for each session.
• Password Vaulting: Password change policies eliminate shared passwords, protect credentials and enable compliance without needing to coordinate changes across multiple organizations.
• Integration: Claroty can be integrated with ticketing systems for improved workflow automation, and also provides syslog output for integration with SIEM and log management products.

The number of successful cyber attacks against organizations is increasing, according to the “2015 Cyberthreat Defense Report” from CyberEdge Group, which surveyed 814 IT security decision makers and practitioners from organizations – in 19 industries – across North America and Europe.
Altogether, 71 percent of respondents said that their organization's global network was compromised by a successful cyber attack in 2014 – a number that jumped up from 62 percent in the year prior – and 22 percent said that their organization experienced six or more successful attacks, according to the report.
Not patching vulnerabilities is one reason successful attacks are on the rise, Steve Piper, CEO of CyberEdge Group, told SCMagazine.com in a Thursday email correspondence. He pointed to the report, which shows that 33 percent of organizations conduct full-network active vulnerability scans less often than quarterly, while 39 percent do so at least once per month.
Another reason for the rise is that attackers are refining their tactics – for example, they perform reconnaissance to carry out targeted spear phishing attacks involving malware, Piper said. In the report, respondents cited phishing attacks, malware and zero-day attacks as the top threats that are causing concern.
The issue is compounded because not enough investment is going into employee security awareness training, Piper said. “Our workforce is our last line of defense,” he said. “If employees are better trained to recognize the telltale signs of spear phishing attacks, our industry would experience far fewer successful data breaches.”
In the report, respondents indicated that low security awareness among employees is the top inhibitor to defending against threats – furthermore, less than 20 percent said they were confident their organization has made the proper investments in training.
Mobile presents another problem for organizations. For the second year in a row, respondents cited mobile devices – such as smartphones and tablets – as the weakest IT security link, meaning mobile is the area where organizations have the hardest time defending against threats.
“Our research indicates that mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM) are the most commonly cited mobile security technologies planned for acquisition in 2015,” Piper said. “These technologies are designed to significantly improve an organization's mobile security posture.”
On the spending front, 70 percent of respondents said their organization is allocating more than five percent of their IT budget to information security, and 62 percent indicated that they expect their IT security budget to rise in 2015, according to the report. Piper indicated that there is no “magic number” for IT security spending, and that organizations will have to allocate funds based on how they value their data.
Some other arbitrary findings in the report: nearly a third of respondents do not feel they have the tools necessary to adequately inspect SSL-encrypted traffic for threats, 23 percent are confident their organization made sufficient investments to monitor privileged user activity, nearly two-thirds view software-defined networking (SDN) as having a positive impact on defending against threats, and 68 percent cited network access control (NAC) as being most regularly used to reduce the network's attack surface.

The global hardware security module (HSM) market is fairly consolidated with a few leading players that enjoy key market shares, states a recent market publication by Transparency Market Research (TMR). Savvy players are hard-focused on product improvement in order to strengthen their presence in this competitive market. Further, some of the leading players are collaborating with integrators and small vendors to develop advanced HSMs as part of their growth strategy. Investments in research and development to offer innovative HSM devices is also on the cards of some key vendors in the global hardware security module market.
Prominent participants in the global hardware security module market to name a few are Ultimaco GmbH, Thales e-Security Inc., Futurex, Gemalto NV, IBM Corporation, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development L.P., Ultra Electronics Group, Yubico, and SWIFT.
As per the estimations of the TMR report, the demand for hardware security module, across the globe, will increment at an impressive 11.6% CAGR over the forecast period of 2017 to 2025. By the end of 2025, the revenue of this market is projected to be worth US$40.43 bn. The market was evaluated at US$13.40 bn in 2015.
The remote interface HSM type holds the leading market share amongst all. However, USB tokens and smart cards are anticipated to display the leading growth rate over the forecast period.

"The demand for HSM is anticipated to be on the rise in the upcoming years for comprehensive data protection," says a TMR analyst. Hardware security module has become an important part of an organization's encryption and key management program within two to three years. Going ahead, the trend for the adoption of HSM is more likely to be observed among organizations in the U.S., Germany, and Japan. The adoption of cloud-based HSM is on the rise predominantly because of its feasibility and cost-effectiveness among small and medium-sized enterprises.
With the rising adoption of hardware security module, developed countries such as the U.S. and the U.K. are laying stringent regulatory standards for vendors to adhere to. The federal information processing standards (FIPS) denote the set of quality standards that approve cryptographic module. For example, the FIPS 140-2 denotes security pertaining to level 1, level 2, level 3, and level 4. The standards help the end-users to select the HSM device depending upon their data security requirement.

The newly released version of the Mathematica scientific number-crunching software allows users to enter calculations in plain English, the company announced Monday.
With Wolfram Research's Mathematica 8, now available, the user can simply type in the desired calculation and the software will interpret the input and, presumably, return the correct answer. The company calls this feature "linguistically controlled computing. "Traditionally, getting computers to perform tasks requires speaking their language or using point-and-click interfaces," said Stephen Wolfram, CEO and founder of Wolfram Research, in a statement. "Free-form linguistics understands human language and translates it into syntax." [ Further reading: The best free software for your PC ]
This new form of input comes courtesy of Wolfram|Alpha, the company's online Mathematica-powered computation engine.
Someone who needs to, say, get the value of pi to the 200th digit would enter "pi 200 digits" into the command box, rather than encode the question in the Mathematica syntax ("N[Pi, 200]"). Or a user could enter an entire math problem, such as "2a-b=3, a+b+c=1, c-b=6," and the software will intuit that the values of a, b and c will be needed, and return the result.
Overall, version 8 of the software has more than 500 new features and functions, according to the company.
For the first time, the software can generate answers as working C code and standalone executable programs or libraries, eliminating the middle step of translating the Mathematica output. It can also take advantage of the computational power offered by GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) and multicore processors. The software also has an expanded library of functions for statistical and financial and image analysis.

All stall holders should take responsibility for their own risk management. But that doesn’t mean that as an event planner, you can wash your hands of the task. It’s important that you have a general overview of what risk assessments have taken place and how risks are managed.
Our advice would be to ask all stall holders at your event to complete a uniform risk assessment, or at least one that is uniform for each stall type.
In this article, we’ll go through a few areas of risk that we think your assessment should include, and explore what type of checks and risk management your stall holders could put in place.
INJURY
If the stall has workers who are required to move around and carry large items, your risk assessment should ensure that they’re not risking injury.
MANUAL HANDLING: An easy way for stall holders to become injured is from manual handling. If staff are picking up large objects in an incorrect fashion they risk causing damage to their neck, back or levers. Any staff required to carry objects should have appropriate training to do so, but you can further limit risks by providing trolleys or implementing a ‘two person per object’ rule.
TRIPS, SLIPS AND FALLS: Stall holders should note all wires and any floor-level equipment that they plan to use. They should then have a system which prevents those objects becoming a trip hazard. This could include specifying certain walkways through the stall, or using tape to cover any loose wires. Stall holders should also set a time limit on the clean-up of any spillages.
Weather
This section won’t be relevant to you if your event is inside. But stall holders for fun days and fayres should be aware of the dangers that high winds or storms could cause.
ADVERSE WEATHER: Any loose items should be tied down. Any electrical items should be covered. But adverse weather for some stall holders doesn’t necessarily mean rain, high winds or storms. For instance, if a stall involves a fire display (e.g barbeque), a summer heatwave with a gentle breeze could be just as hazardous. In those circumstances, guards should be placed around the fire to prevent sparks or flames escaping.
Equipment
For any risk assessment, your stall holders should make a list of all the equipment they plan to use.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK: All portable equipment should be subject to PAT and display evidence as such. All equipment should have a history of regular checks and inspections and have been signed off by a professional to have been in perfect working order.
TRAPPED OR CRUSHED BY MOVING VEHICLES: Trapping or crushing by moving vehicles is more common than we’d like it to be. If your stall holders are using vehicles to set up their stall or move stock around, they should put measures in place to make sure that their path is clear. This could include a drivers ‘mate’ to clear the way for the driver, and a clear warning sound when the vehicle is reversing.
FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS: Some event owners will take the blanket approach of banning all flammable liquids from their event, but we know that’s not plausible for everyone. If stallholders need flammable liquid, you should ask them to prove that they’re carried in appropriate containers and they’re under supervision at all times.
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE: Much like flammable liquids, stallholders should have a valid reason why they’re absolutely necessary. They should prove that they’re in suitable containers and under supervision at all times.
Stall
An area of risk management that people often forget about is the stall itself and the way it’s set up. It’s important that space is utilised effectively and safely.
COLLAPSE OF STALL: If stall holders are setting up their own stall, they should supply plans prior to the event, detailing how they will create safe walkways and spread items out so they’re not creating trip or crush hazards. At this stage, it may be appropriate for you to hire a risk management professional to check these plans.
RESTRICTED SPACE: If space is restricted, limits should be placed on how much stock or equipment is allowed on the stall at any one time.
FALLING OBJECTS: If items are stored on a shelf or high up, the stallholders need to evidence that the items are properly secured. This also applies to the shelves themselves. On that note, if your stallholder is using a stepladder to reach shelved equipment, the ladder should be properly maintained and the person trained in its use.
“When I am on site setting up, or during the event, I rarely ever see anyone checking that we are working safely and that the details supplied match up with our actual activities. I would recommend that event organisers aim to take the time to meet the stall holders when they are setting up and then to also do a walk around check once all are set up and at regular points during the week event. This way they can be more dynamic and respond to points as they crop up during the day.”

It will be like the internet of humans was. Everyone will be in a gold fever. Everyone will want to join the train and everyone just HAS to get with the latest fad and have a sock drawer that has some kind of internet connection. Every petty, crappy, useless gadget will need to have some sort of internet access.
And of course the manufacturers will deliver it. Everything and their dog collar will be online.
Then the first people, I'd predict some geeks with a rather odd sense of humor, will start to piss people off by "talking" to their fridge and telling it to put some milk bones and condoms on the next shopping list, just to make your friends wonder about your ... private life should they get their hand on it.
And given time, someone will come up with a way to abuse the whole shit not just for fun but also for profit. And only THEN we'll stand there and ask why oh why security has not been a core topic right from the start because that should have been obvious... and it probably was.
It was just way cheaper to ignore it. And as long as people buy it (who will react just like the very first person in this thread, i.e. "who's going to hack your fridge?"), why bother with security? Security costs money and it's no selling point. So... to the crapper with it.
It's not specifically about fridges, but it points to the widespread terrible security practices, and how a single vendor who makes the underlying stuff can basically destroy security for all of it.
As you add more and more stuff with the same vulnerabilities, the scope of the problem just gets magnified.
So, your internet connected CCTV, your smart TV, your notional smart fridge, and from the sounds of it possibly even your router ... these are all subject to vulnerability through their weakest links. And it sounds like there's a lot of weak links.
As long as these companies have a culture of lax security and other terrible practices like this, this problem isn't going to go away.
If it works on the hardware in question, what's wrong with that? Sometimes being newer isn't better, it's just newer.
I don't see this as a huge problem for embedded systems.... Unless it's something like a firewall or a router that lives on the internet, then it *might* be worth looking at. If it's something like a media player or printer on your private network, who cares? (unless you are member of the tin foil hat society).

The malware responsible for infecting more than 650,000 Mac computers worldwide can thank compromised WordPress sites for its spread, experts say.
The Flashback trojan, first discovered in February, infiltrated Mac OS X platforms through a now-patched Java vulnerability, giving attackers the ability to perform a number of mischievous actions, including stealing data, installing additional malware and intercepting search engine traffic.
To spread the malware, its authors relied on infecting WordPress sites so that when unsuspecting users visited, they were silently redirected to a site that installed Flashback, a tactic known as a drive-by download, Alexander Gostev, head of Kaspersky Lab's global research and analysis team, said Thursday in a blog post.
From February to March, thousands of sites created on the popular publishing platform were poisoned, Gostev said. Researchers believe the sites' webmasters were running vulnerable versions of WordPress.
“Websense put the number of affected sites at 30,000, while other companies say the figure could be as high as 100,000,” Gostev wrote. “Approximately 85 percent of the compromised WordPress sites are located in the United States.”
In late January, Websense began tracking the outbreak on WordPress, one of several that have appeared in recent months and years.
The Kaspersky analysis states that contrary to popular belief, the invulnerability of the Mac OS X is a myth. It is, in fact, no safer than any other operating system. The size of the botnet has dramatically decreased in April as a number of patches released by Apple have cooled the activity.
Although the main infection vectors are the hacked sites, user oversight is ultimately to blame, said Roel Schouwenberg, senior researcher for Kaspersky Lab, in an email to SCMagazine.com on Thursday.
“WordPress is a very popular platform for attackers to target,” he said. “There's not a whole lot WordPress can do if people neglect to update their WordPress or plug-in software.”
It's unclear what the Flashback botnet is being used for. Currently, researchers have not received reports signaling fraudulent activity, Shouwenberg said.
Representatives from Apple and WordPress could not be reached for comment.

The key to one-way masking being effective is to use the best mask available, says Chicago-based internal medicine physician, Vivek Cherian, MD. If you can use an KN95 mask, this will offer you a high degree of protection. But if you can’t, Dr. Cherian says wearing a surgical mask or cloth mask is ultimately better than wearing no mask at all.
Double-masking will also offer more protection. Dr. Parikh suggests wearing the medical grade mask on the inside (like a surgical mask) and the cloth mask on the outside. Or if you have no medical grade masks, keep the tightest-fitting mask on the inside. Be sure the mask covers your nose and mouth completely, and fits snugly against your face.

The energy sector has undergone a wave of innovation and the application of electronic and digital equipment and information technology has allowed it to bring parts of the system together. This synchronization and simulation have allowed the energy sector to use some of the ground-breaking technologies. PLC, SCADA, and DCS have made the operations of collecting data, moving, and controlling machines, valves, actuators, etc. by programs, logical, simple, and something that can be done on a continuous basis. With these devices, interconnectivity has evolved the threats of a security breach. Incidents like the Shamoon malware attacks in November 2016 and January 2017 against Gulf state organizations have made security imperative for the energy sector. The upstream, midstream, and downstream of all the levels in the energy sector have become prone to cyber-attacks and security is the utmost need to avoid any downtime. Any stopping or destruction of the energy sector services can prove catastrophic, as many other industries (chemical and power) are directly or indirectly dependent for their operations on them.
Alongside the increasing connectivity, the number of electronic control units and codes length aligning the processes have increased the complexity of the products. Thus, the concerns for cyber security are on the rise. Furthermore, in the energy sector market, it is difficult to monitor the security policies at every stage as the industry operates on a large scale to reduce the operating cost to revenue ratio. To counter these security risks, cloud security has become an indispensable aspect of the energy sector. Also, the government regulations and evolving industry standards of operations have been instrumental in driving the adoption of cloud security in energy sector market.
Application-related Threats and Security in the Energy Sector
To monitor and control the physical processes across the oil & gas segment, the energy sector applications use operational technology. This is done by acquiring process variable data, such as temperatures, pressures, levels, and valve positions, and further analyzing this data, to automate processes.
This automation of processes or parts becomes possible by means of electric, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic actuators, and control valves, getting handled and operated by industrial automation and control systems, such as SCADA, distributed control systems (DCS), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), open platform communication (OPC) servers, and field devices. The applications that control these systems are known to be the most targeted areas, since they are used to control and automate all the operations of factories. Industry 4.0 developments, the pressure to reduce operational expenditure to net sales, coupled with the increased demand for transparency through all the operations of the industry supply chain, industrial automation, and control systems have witnessed robust adoption. This has boosted the security approach, due to the participation of all the stakeholders in the supply chain to safeguard it from any security breach-associated vulnerabilities.
Since these systems control various vital operation and process-related equipment and machinery, from sensors to data acquisition systems, there is a need for resilient security applications to prevent intrusions and breaches. Thus, the need contributes positively to the growth of the application security segment.
May 2017 - For the IBM Corporation, the technology solutions & cloud platforms segment accounted for around 44% of the total revenue in 2016. The company continues to capitalize on acquisitions, to broaden, complement, and enhance its product and service offerings, and expand their technology capabilities.
November 2016 - The Company integrated with complementary businesses, which often contributed entirely new products and services that added to its revenues and profitability. The company focuses on investing in R&D for artificial intelligence, analytics, nanotechnology, secure cloud computing, the blockchain, and advanced computer architectures. It invested close to 7% in R&D.

As websites get more and more complex, we see an increasing number of sites that are being compromised by malicious code injections.
These attacks are designed to steal user data such as credit card numbers from websites, and if left unchecked, can result in significant data breaches and huge fines for the website owner.
Magecart attacks often go unnoticed for weeks, months or even years. One reason that they escape scrutiny is that the injected JavaScript code is heavily obfuscated, making it hard to detect malicious script actions and data leaking to unauthorized domains. However, a significant number of these obfuscated scripts seem to share a pattern.
The obfuscated code doesn’t make a lot of sense at first, but upon closer inspection we can see that it has a structure that repeats across many different Magecart scripts that we have analyzed. It uses two main techniques.
1.Javascript syntax manipulation
This involves using any number of Javascript language tricks to manipulate data (e.g., using non-decimal values for strings and numbers, randomizing variable names, using chained commas in return statements, etc.)
Some obfuscation techniques don't have a Content layer. In such cases, the Decryption layer is parsing data tokens directly from the Logic layer
Some obfuscation techniques might have more than one decryption function.
let code = fs.readFileSync(MAGECART_CONTENT_PATH, {encoding: 'utf-8'});let match = DECRYPTION_FUNCTION_REGEX.exec(code);
code = code.replace(decryptionFunctionCall, `"${dataValue}"`); match = DECRYPTION_FUNCTION_REGEX.exec(code);
DECRYPTION_FUNCTION_REGEX.lastIndex = null;
I don’t recommend executing any unfamiliar code in your local environment without knowing what you're doing.
Malware comes in all shapes and colors, and this post discusses a commonly found Magecart script structure. This is not an exhaustive analysis of all possible code injection techniques.

A key challenge facing healthcare organizations is meeting Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance rules while reducing risk from an evolving threat landscape—all with limited resources.
Caring for patients takes priority.
As such, the industry often falls short in investments toward data security technologies and skilled personnel to manage them. Without a comprehensive approach to data privacy and security—and without the correct controls and resources in place—this can be a recipe for operation disruption and other cyberattacks that lead to reputational damage, financial losses and protracted regulatory investigations.
When healthcare organizations do start looking for security tools, they get hit with misguided approaches that overlook the real issue. Too many security solutions and recommended best practices focus on finding known malware or identified anomalies, as though your risk exposure is automatically remediated as soon as the vulnerability or exploit is discovered. But your work isn’t done just because you’ve found that proverbial needle in the haystack; in some ways, the real work is just beginning.
The next step after finding the needle
This is the common scenario: A suspicious event or activity has been discovered and requires immediate investigation and containment to keep it from causing further damage. This is where post-event forensics comes in.
Forensic analysis evaluates what led to the situation in the first place, with the goal of preventing it in the future. Much like a car accident or aviation event, crash investigators arrive on the scene to secure evidence and determine what caused the accident in hope of preventing a repeat incident.
However, a better goal is to catch this anomaly before it causes business-disrupting damage. This disruption includes not only a break in regular operations but temporary or permanent loss of patient data, reputational harm and even the risk of patient injury or death due to compromised medical devices, systems or technology. And then there are the potential financial losses: ransom payment, investigation, system remediation, lost billable hours and regulatory fines.
Healthcare compliance penalties are a real concern. While many organizations struggle with risk analysis, cybersecurity controls and third-party management mandates from HIPAA and HITECH (the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act), the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) continues to impose record-setting fines. As breaches continue to evolve, the OCR has made it clear that much of its future focus will be enforcement through audits and breach investigation, including incidents under 500 or fewer individuals.
Compliance is often a complicated and subtle process, which is where automation can come in. Healthcare IT teams can use automation to find anomalies, which is when it comes to the attention of the security operations center (SOC) analyst.
Further investigation
From here, the SOC analyst can start digging to examine the anomaly and investigate. The analyst can triage and do what’s called a full packet capture. This process collects an identical copy of all the traffic streams that are going in and out of the network. This creates a DVR-like replay capability, where the analyst can see exactly what was going on in the network’s traffic: where it came from, where it went and what was contained in it.
This is where it’s important to understand what kind of packet capture service you have. For example, a service may capture only the headers of HTML traffic, which provide only basic information. The analyst can see that the packet was an email and that it went to a certain location but cannot see the email itself. Full packet capture enables the analyst to open that packet and read that email. This is how inspection of every packet using full packet capture stops threats that would otherwise be missed. And it gives the analyst a way to replay the traffic before the incident occurred to determine what caused the problem in the first place.
When it's time to report a breach
Healthcare threats have become increasingly complex, and motives are evolving. Criminal attacks comprise only part of this threat landscape, though. Third-party error or breach, stolen devices, unintentional employee actions and malicious insiders also play a part.
When a breach occurs, it’s essential to get your general counsel involved quickly—because they’re responsible for protecting the business. Your legal and compliance departments can also evaluate the situation in light of the regulatory and privacy laws your organization must adhere to.
If you believe the attack involves an employee or another insider in an intentional capacity, law enforcement will definitely need to get involved.
Healthcare firms represent an opportunity to extract more value for cybercriminals’ efforts. With patient data and even physical well-being at stake, firms need to have systems, processes and controls in place to protect patients’ physical and data safety. Whether it’s mitigating risk from a third-party breach, preventing a ransomware infection from shutting down life-saving systems or detecting a malicious insider, healthcare providers need to approach the cybersecurity challenge with a damage-control mindset.
Focus on spotting network anomalies before they can cause damage, and make sure the tools you have enable you to make that process as fast and accurate as possible.

In the ever-evolving landscape of medical device cybersecurity, one document that stands above the rest is the newly released FDA’s Premarket Cybersecurity Guidance for 2023.
Pivoting away from the status quo, this guidance falls in line with other federal agencies that demand more responsibility be put on medical device manufacturers and suppliers to keep their devices secure and patients informed. It also further entangles quality and security, preferring to eliminate vulnerabilities over mitigating them, ensure interoperability, and strongly suggests that resources provided by other agencies, such as CISAs known vulnerability database, be utilized.
Up until now, the FDA’s April 2022 PMA Guidelines were the go-to source of truth for preparing a device for market approval to the agency. As of September 2023, that document has changed.
While much remains the same since the April 2022 draft, we’ve outlined 5 changes that product security teams need to be aware of.
This new emphasis on elimination promotes a proactive approach to cybersecurity.
It underscores the importance of assessing vulnerabilities at the component level from the earliest stages of development.
Difference #2: Interoperability
Interoperability is a completely new section that requires companies to look at periphery cybersecurity challenges that may arise in the field– one of them the basic methods of communication between new devices and those already in the field.
The guidance recognizes the growing importance of interoperability in medical devices, highlighting potential cybersecurity considerations when devices interact with other medical devices, healthcare infrastructure, or general-purpose computing platforms. It highlights the need to assess security controls for common technology and communication protocols, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of the device.
Interoperability with healthcare infrastructure (e.g., network, Electronic Medical Records, medical imaging systems); and
General purpose computing platforms.”
It also adds, “When common technology and communication protocols are used to enable interoperability (e.g., Bluetooth, Bluetooth Low Energy, network protocols), device manufacturers should assess whether added security controls beneath such communication are needed to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device (e.g., added security controls beneath Bluetooth Low Energy to protect against risks if vulnerabilities in the Bluetooth Low Energy protocol or supporting technology are discovered).”
The 2023 guidance allows device manufacturers more flexibility regarding source code access. While the previous version advocated custodial control of source code, the new guidance recognizes that manufacturers may face challenges related to licensing restrictions or supplier agreements. In addition, manufacturers are now encouraged to include plans for updating or replacing third-party software components.
“Manufacturers may not have control of source code due to licensing restrictions, terms of supplier agreements, or other challenges. While source code is not required to be provided in premarket submissions, manufacturers should include plans for how third-party software components could be updated or replaced if support ends or other software issues arise in premarket submissions.”
Manufacturers are now requested to identify all known vulnerabilities associated with their devices, including those listed in CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog. This shows greater communication between federal agencies who are working towards a common goal of better securing America’s infrastructure.
“As part of the premarket submission, manufacturers should also identify all known vulnerabilities associated with the device and the software components, including those identified in CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog.”
Why it matters
Provides a specific catalog for comparison.
Vulnerability assessment to include all known vulnerabilities.
Highlights the importance of referencing the CISA catalog as a baseline.
Aligns product security with product quality.
Reflects a growing trend in various industries to connect safety and security considerations.
Addresses industry concerns about regulations being perceived as burdensome.
What does the 2023 Premarket Guidance mean for the ecosystem?
For many product security professionals, these changes don’t set off alarm bells– and for many, they bring a feeling of relief.
While there is work to be done, these guidelines give clearer guidance on what is the baseline. For companies who are already managing SBOMs and automating their vulnerability detection and prioritization activities from a single centralized location, this allows them to pin what they’ve implemented against a benchmark.
For those who are still on their journey towards a more mature product security operations this benchmark presents an opportunity. It allows for operations to be realigned in one location instead of a patchwork of tools so the full product security journey can be conducted harmoniously and automatically. This allows for teams to sharpen communication with end users, boost product security, ensure quality, check interoperability capabilities, and manage a device’s full lifecycle.

Companies are being founded whose sole purpose is to track the E911 signal and provide that to others - for a fee. This includes parents tracking children, spouses tracking spouses, care givers tracking disabled relatives, stalkers tracking victims and employers tracking employees. Some of these uses are beneficial; some, clearly, are not and amount to unauthorized surveillance of private individuals.
A future theoretical abuse of the E911 system would be retail businesses tracking nearby potential customers and sending a voice or text message offering a coupon as they approach their store location. The movements of individuals also could be recorded and entered into a profile of that individual.
Readers report that the following cell phones allow them to turn off the E911 tracking feature. Be aware that our concern is only with non-emergency personnel misusing the feature. We make no distinction between phones that disable the tracking feature for non-emergency personnel and phones that disable tracking for everyone.
We do not recommend using this as the sole determining factor when selecting a cell phone. However, we would recommend against selecting a cell phone that does not allow the feature to be disabled. Currently we do not have the model number of any phones that do not allow the user to disable tracking.
Not being in this list does not mean that the phone doesn't allow you to disable the feature. It just means no one has reported to me about it one way or the other.
Several readers mentioned that the phones which came with their Verizon and Sprint PCS plans included the option to disable the tracking.
One reader wrote to say that the Nokia 6340i includes E911 tracking but was unsure whether or not it allowed them to disable it.
If you notice an incorrect listing or wish to let us know whether or not your E911-enabled cell phone allows you to turn off the feature, send us an email.

The question is no longer when your business will be hit with a cyber attack, but when.
What is cyber resilience? Our definition is: “The ability of complex cyber-systems to continuously deliver the intended outcome despite ongoing shock and acute stressors.”
Business Consultation Services will make sure that your business is given the tools and knowledge to become cyber-resilient to its next attack. Make sure that your business isn’t the easy target that cyber criminals go for. As a result, you want to make sure that your business isn’t “low hanging fruit” that is ripe for the picking. You want to make sure that if someone wanted to get into your system, they have to work for it.

These questions, and more, were the basis of the “2022 State of Web Security” survey, recently commissioned by Reblaze and conducted by Global Surveyz. Three hundred security professionals around the world—with a variety of roles, including CISO/CIO, SRE, and DevOps/DevSecOps—answered questions about the greatest threats their organizations faced last year, their current security postures, and their plans and strategies for 2022.
The full report of the survey results is now available. Here are some of the highlights:
The most common attacks experienced by respondents in the previous 12 months, and how this varied by region (page 7).
The respondents’ largest blind spot: half admitted they didn’t have the ability to detect (and therefore, could not block) this increasingly common threat, and most of the rest underestimated its severity. (Is your organization making the same mistake? See page 8.)
The growing interest in non-traditional security technologies (p. 12)
Which security technologies are gaining, or losing, popularity at large companies versus small firms (pp. 15 and 16)
Changing attitudes about native cloud provider WAFs (p. 16)
How respondents are shifting their security strategies for 2022 (pp. 11, 14, and 15)
The fastest-growing security technologies for this coming year (pp. 16 and 17).

There is no such thing as 'internet accelerators' that speed up internet connections.
Simply put, web accelerators are just a cache. And when you cache pages, you likely miss new content and/or sacrifice the quality of the pages you want to see. As a host and web dev myself, I really hate the way some folks are forced by ISPs to see the web in a bogus way. ISPs who employ bandwidth saving 'accelerators' to con their users into thinking the web really looks that way are just scum peddling con artists by my thinking.
Internet Accelerators do not speed up your internet connection. They simply use it in a different way.
There are several ways that Internet Accelerators may create the illusion of faster Web browsing. First, they may edit your Hosts file to pre-record the IP address of sites that you visit—saving you, perhaps, a second or two of time, but at the risk of breaking your ability to access a Web site if its IP address happens to change—something that can happen at any time. When a user complains about the classic "page cannot be displayed error," one of the first things I ask them to do is rename their HOSTS file to HOSTS.OLD to rule out this very common problem.
Second, Internet Accelerators sometimes use something called 'read-ahead caching'. Basically, this is where the Accelerator scans the page you are currently reading, and then downloads all linked pages in the background just in case you want to read them. Depending on the Accelerator's settings, a heavy demand can be placed on your hard drive free space, and on your Internet connection—not a good thing if you pay per byte, or have a broadband account that is slowed down once you hit a certain download/upload limit. Also, this downloading places an unnecessary load on the server hosting the site. Granted, this is not a problem if only a few people are using Accelerators—but imagine what would happen if the majority of visitors to a site were all using Accelerators. Internet Accelerators may also use something called 'smart caching,' in which the Accelerator takes over Internet Explorer's cache and only downloads content from the Web if it doesn't already exist on your hard drive. Again, your Internet connection is not faster—all that is happening is the content on your hard drive is being used more efficiently. This type of Accelerator only works if you visit a page on a regular basis and you do not delete downloaded content to free up hard drive space.

Okay, I've had it. I'm tired of telling people that what they're seeing on their screen isn't really what my site looks like. I'm tired of explaining to site users that I did not populate my site with sucky graphics. In point of fact, I'm sick and tired of the entire concept of "Accelerated Dialup" that ISPs have been selling for years. It's a myth, an illusion people; it doesn't exist. Now, I realize, of course, that my audience here is primarily web developers and that this isn't anything they don't already know, but I just can't stand it anymore. I'm sure you understand my need for a rant here.

It's one matter when the search engine caches a page you can't get anymore; that's a copyright violation but an all-in-all benign one in the sense that it's only giving you content you could not otherwise see (no different from, say, the web archive).
But it's quite another matter for Google to get in the way of serving current content. This means that the page is served from Google rather than from a publisher's server, which means that the publisher cannot count the traffic and serve targeted and dynamic advertising.
It also means that Google is copying content on its servers and serving it from there and thus is violating copyright.
And it means that Google is in a position to snoop on data on consumers' usage of sites that Google does not own: That is, Google will know what the consumers on my site are doing better than I will for these "accelerated" pages.

If you want to get the wrong content from the sites you visit or want third parties to have your surfing habits or you want to waste drive space, perhaps one of the so called 'accelerators' is just what you need.
A server could, theoretically, be brought to its knees by the unnecessary demand.

Organizations can now purchase CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform with volume licensing, the company said. CrowdStrike also plans to offer its Falcon platform across Dell’s commercial PCs and other products in the coming months.
Together, CrowdStrike and Dell will “make cyber defense frictionless, automated and cost effective,” CrowdStrike Chief Business Officer Daniel Bernard said.
They are increasing market access to Falcon, enabling organizations to use this platform in lieu of multiple legacy and point security products. At the same time, the companies are ensuring that organizations are well equipped to use Falcon to stop data breaches.
CrowdStrike Appoints New President, Adds to Leadership Team
The Dell partnership comes after CrowdStrike in February 2023 promoted Michael Sentonas to president. Sentonas is responsible for managing CrowdStrike’s product and go-to-market functions, including its sales, marketing, product and engineering, threat intelligence and corporate development teams. He had been serving as CrowdStrike’s chief technology officer since 2020, and originally joined the company in 2016.
Previously, CrowdStrike in January 2023 hired Bernard as its chief business officer and Raj Rajamani as chief product officer for its data, identity, cloud and endpoint (DICE) division.
Bernard is responsible for driving revenue from CrowdStrike’s global channel and growing the company’s partner ecosystem, the business indicated. Prior to joining CrowdStrike, Bernard served as chief marketing officer at SentinelOne. He also has held channel partnership and business development roles at Cylance (now Blackberry Cybersecurity), Dropbox and other SaaS, cloud and cybersecurity companies.
Rajamani is responsible for product strategy, management and delivery across CrowdStrike’s platform offerings, the company stated. He most recently served as chief product officer at SentinelOne. In addition, Rajamani has held technology leadership roles at McAfee, Marketo and Cylance.
CrowdStrike offers cloud, endpoint protection and other security products to global organizations. MSSPs, MSPs and other technology providers can join CrowdStrike’s Elevate Partner Program to integrate the company’s products into their services.

As we enter this holiday weekend, ITS would like to remind you to beware of malware or phishing scams - especially via email. It has become quite common for malware and phishing scam campaigns to be launched over holiday weekends to delay detection and remediation by IT staff. ITS has already seen an increase in communications of phishing or malware scams that ask users to validate account information by clicking on a malicious link or reading a malicious attachment. Below is a sample malicious message:
Typically, these messages will appear to come from a generic "IT" or "ITS" account. Often times they will contain poor grammar or generic wording of technical terms (unlikely to mention Manhattan-specific terminology).
If you receive a message that asks you to click an unknown link or suspicious attachment, DO NOT OPEN the link or attachment. Instead, please verify authenticity with ITS by forwarding the message to [email protected]

Jan 25 21:24:25 my.server.com systemd[1 ]: Started Netfilter Tables.
2. In the Documentation Host Access Control page (ver. 100 - last mod. 2021-12-15) it says that in the last (REJECT) rule we should "Enter ALL IP in the IP Address/CIDR text box".
However this brings an error: "IP addresses must be a valid v4 or v6 address".
See attached file.
I found somewhere that "ALL" instead of "ALL IP" could also work, and it seems to create the rule ok. But is it related to that the REJECT rule does not reject any IP?
3. In the same docoumentation page, it states that "You may apply your rule to multiple IP addresses by entering a comma-separated list of IP addresses or a CIDR subnet mask".
However, upon entering "w1.x1.y1.z1,w2.x2.y2.z2" (with actual IPs, of course) it displays the same error: "IP addresses must be a valid v4 or v6 address".
So it does not seem that the comma separated list works.
I tried to search similar problems but I did not find anything related (most entries are about CentOS 7, which does not rely on nftables, as CentOS 8 does).
May I also add that a few (graceful) restarts have been initiated, so it does not seem to be a "restart the service" issue.
I believe the 3 questions are not related.
I did some testing on my end and I am not able to reproduce issue #1. Here is what my WHM interface looks like:
and I confirmed I can only access SSH from the IP that is blocked out in red. All other addresses received a connection failure:
ssh: connect to host 10.2.33.138 port 22: Connection refused
For issues #2, I've filed a documentation case with our team to get that updated, as just "ALL" is correct, when "ALL IP" is not.
The same with issue #3 - I've reported that to our documentation team so they can get that adjusted.

Get-VM -VMMServer "vmm server FQDN" | where {$_.Owner -eq "Unknown"} | Set-VM -Owner "domain\account"
Presto, now your VMs have an owner as dictated by the account you used above. So why might the owner even matter? Well one instance where this is important is when you want to use the self-service portal to display all the VMs since to accomplish this the owner value need to be set to an account that is part of a Self-Service user role.
The VMs that show up in Self-Service are for Self-Service users only, not necessarily administrators, although an administrator can be part of a self-service user role. However, he or she will only see the VMs that they own. If the user is not part of a Self Service user role, they will not be able to log into the web site.
There may be other reasons too but that’s the big one, and now if you ever find a need to do a mass change over the script above should hopefully save you a little time.

More than 150 years after Bull Run—the long, bloody battle that foretold of a long, bloody Civil War—a new Bull Run is the symbol of a very different, bloodless fight.
“Bull Run” is code for a National Security Agency program that asks U.S. Internet security providers to poke holes in their systems (also known as “back doors”)—and to keep those requests—and weaknesses—a secret. “The conceit here is that only the NSA can exploit this vulnerability,” and gain access to encrypted Internet traffic, explained computer security and privacy specialist Bruce Schneier at a recent NSA surveillance briefing convened by the Open Technology Institute on Capitol Hill…

Phishing is an online scam through which criminals send you an email. That email appears to be from a legal organization and asks you to give personal and sensitive information about your account data. It is done by including a link that appears to take you to that organization’s website to fill in your information. But all this is a clever fake and the information that you give goes to the criminals behind this scam. The word phishing is a spin on the term fishing. Study results, 96% of executives worldwide failed to differentiate between real and phishing email. The problem is, it is so easy to create a forgery email and if the wrong person knows how to do this, you could be targeted with a realistic phishing email that manages to give the hackers your personal details or even your money. As a business owner, your company reputation could be at stake and this is an issue which you cannot ignore.
The study, which was carried out by Kapost, explained how dangerous this growing form of crime can really be. They say that phishing is effective because people trust their company emails and assume that their security technology will catch all threats. However, hackers are sophisticated, finding out details about you, your customers or your colleagues to lull you into false security.
Many companies have fallen victim to cyber-crime. For instance, Keith McMurtry, financial corporate controller for Scoular Company, lost $17 million of the company’s money due to a phishing email. Keith McMurtry was sent an email from Scoular’s CEO, Chuck Elsea. This email asked him to send over $780,000 to a bank account in China. He trusted this email and sent the money over. Over the next few days, the hackers asked for more and more, and the employee did so without question because all the consequences seem right.
Obviously, this is one extreme example, but smaller companies have also been affected and their businesses brought down because of it. However, there are some things you can do to safeguard yourself or your company from a phishing attack.
The easiest way to find out if something is a scam via email is to hover your mouse over the link. If you see that the link is not directed to a real domain, then it’s probably an email trying to steal something.
You can also catch an email out, by the way, it is formatted and in some cases, the grammar is all wrong. If it seems a little off, report it and do not click any links.
You can call the reputable company up directly on their number (not a number provided by the email as this is likely to be a fake line!)
As a business, you might also be worried about how your customers might react if you have a data breach. Perhaps a hacker uses your details to target some of your customers. A similar thing happened to Wonga, and quite quickly, the team at Wonga set up a Fraud Hotline that customers could call to log their concern and to gain some peace of mind from the company. It might be wise to set aside a dedicated line and have a plan of action in place to minimize damage and protect your reputation.
You might also consider investing in cyber-crime insurance in order to safeguard your business. This enables you to have the peace of mind that you have some damage control on standby if the worst should happen.

You're welcome. Pretty likely, unfortunately. Vundo is an older malware with many new variants and means of propagation. However, I do believe that at some point AVG resident protection would have warned you (had this been a real infection).
You already have quite a bit of A/S protection. If you don't already use a hosts file, I would recommend the one at MVPS. If you use Internet Explorer, I would also recommend adding SpywareBlaster. Neither uses any system resources, but are very effective at preventing infection in a layered defense strategy.

This past Tuesday, June 14, a vulnerability (CVE-2011-2110) in the Adobe Flash Player was patched. This vulnerability is actively being exploited in the wild - prior to the patch, the earliest exploitation that we have seen in our logs thus far, dates back to early last Thursday (June 9th).
Attackers have/are embedding redirects into compromised legitimate websites (including an Indian government site, a US airport site, and an aerospace site, among others). The redirects direct user's web-browsers to access the flash exploit - once the victim machine is exploited it downloads, decodes, and executes malcode.
Working with Steven from Shadowserver we were able to collectively share information to benefit the community and a public, detailed report was subsequently released on their website. Their report lists the sites/servers that we helped identify that have hosted the malicious content, as well as provides guidance for handling this threat. Among the recommended guidance:
Patch! Flash Player older than 10.3.181.26 (or 10.3.181.24 for Android) is vulnerable. You can check your version here.
Block the identified malicious servers/pages/binaries - this has already been done for customers using our cloud.
Block/monitor for additional sites using the same attack pattern - this has already been done for customers using our cloud. Shadowserver released a Snort signature in their report to assist with identifying this pattern as well.

A new report recommends DoD create standards for cyber insurance for the defense industrial base. (U.S. Air Force photo by Justin Connaher)
One way the Pentagon could improve the cybersecurity of its supply chain would be for standardized insurance policies that cover cyberattacks, according to a new report to be released today from the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.
The report, titled “The Time for Cyber Insurance: Coverage Improves Supply Chain Resiliency,” stems from a tabletop exercise the thinktank and brokerage firm Lockton Companies held with former government officials and private sector leaders and using real-world cyber incidents.
“The most important finding from the exercise was that ubiquitous application of cyber business interruption (cyber BI) coverage across the Department of Defense’s (DoD’s) supply chain would materially improve supply chain resiliency and reduce unwanted supply chain behaviors throughout the DIB,” the report states.
Cyber disruptions can lead to a freeze in contractor operations, a failure to perform under contract or the need to find replacement parts to due to supply chain disruption. However, “due to a lack of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement requirements, many critical DIB businesses still lack this important coverage,” the report states.
What’s more, traditional insurance models are based upon factors that don’t always apply to defense companies such as personally identifiable information or health information.
Thus, getting insurers, defense companies and the DoD itself on a level playing field is of the utmost importance, Trevor Logan, one of the report’s authors, told C4ISRNET.
He said a contractor may spend a lot of money on a cyber insurance policy only to later discover a breach wasn’t covered in the policy.
“That’s pretty scary stuff,” he said. “There’s not a standardization behind how this process is laid out, but it is ultimately what is going to get us better cybersecurity at the company level, which is better for all of us.”
By giving us your email, you are opting in to the C4ISRNET Daily Brief.
The report recommends DoD study how cyber insurance across the industrial base improves the security and resiliency of the supply chain.
Logan said potential disruptions can hurt small and medium sized businesses the most because those companies may have to cease manufacturing when notifying the insurance broker of the cyber incident. This puts companies in a rough place putting in jeopardy their ability to fill contract requirements thus hurting the reliability DoD needs to get equipment, parts and systems to operators that need them.
Logan also noted that there needs to be greater clarity between how cyber insurance polices relate to the forthcoming Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC), a tiered cybersecurity framework that grades companies on a scale based on the level of classification and security that’s necessary for the work they’re performing.
“There are unclear and sometimes conflicting standards and models for cybersecurity, leaving companies – especially the small and medium-sized enterprises critical to the DIB – confused and uncertain,” one of the report’s key findings state. “Some insurance companies are seeking to underwrite to Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) guidelines. DoD could advocate for this approach (or others) to be included in cyber insurance underwriting and could help socialize these guidelines to the broader DIB.”
He said clarifying how cyber insurance impacts underwriters’ assessments as it relates to CMMC compliance would be helpful.

It comes as quite a surprise that Psconfig (or Wizard, I suppose) needs to be run, since there's no mention of it in the security bulletin or the download page (I originally thought this was a Windows Update, but it appears that it isn't).
Perhaps the instruction comes at the end of the install.
I did find this interesting statement in the bulletin, however: "There are no more service packs planned for this software. The update for this issue may be included in a future update rollup."
I guess that answers the service pack question. Odd.

A CSR or Certificate Signing request is a block of encoded text that is given to a Certificate Authority when applying for an SSL Certificate.
It contains information that will be included in the certificate such as the organization name, common name (domain name), locality, and country. It also contains the public key that will be included in the certificate.
Common Name - This field must contain a fully qualified domain name. Format should be alias/hostname.domainname.com. This must not contain any wildcard characters for the hostname. For example: services.visa.com
Organization Unit Name - Name of the division within your organization. For example: Debit Card Processing Unit
State Name - Name of the state or province where the server is located. For example: California
Country Name - Two-digit International Standards Organization (ISO) 3166-1 country code. For example: US
A private key is usually created at the same time when you create the CSR, making a key pair. A certificate authority will use a CSR to create your SSL certificate.
You can generate your own CSR using either OpenSSL or the Java Keytool.
keytool is a key and certificate management utility. It allows users to administer their own public/private key pairs and associated certificates for use in self-authentication or data integrity and authentication services, using digital signatures.
The keytool command works on any file-based keystore implementation. It treats the keystore location that is passed to it at the command line as a file name.
Below are the steps that needs to perform in case of using keytool command to generate csr.
First you will need to create a Java Keystore, in PKCS12 format by executing the below command.
GeneratingYour Own CSR for Mutual SSL
keytool -genkeypair -alias client -keyalg RSA -keysize 2048 -keystore -storetype PKCS12 clientkeystore.p12 -storepass <password> -keypass <password> -dname "CN=<common name>, OU=<organizational unit>, O=<organization name>, L=<city/locality name>, ST=<state name>, C=<country name>, UID=<CSR Unique Id>"
For Mutual SSL, you will need to provide the CSR Unique Id (UID) when generating the CRS. This is required for Certification or Production environment only
openssl rsa -in private-key.pem -out private-key_rsa.key
If you have any queries or comments, please let us know in the comment section below.

You may think that digital software and platforms are perfect because we don’t see anything wrong with it at a glance. However, in the backend of software and websites, there are weaknesses that could pose a huge risk to your business.
These digital weaknesses are called vulnerabilities. Much like how your physical business needs risk management in place your digital software requires vulnerability management too. In today’s article, we’re going to discuss what vulnerability management is and why it’s crucial that you have it.
What is Vulnerability Management?
Companies utilize the internet to connect with clients, business partners and to use digital resources & tools to complete tasks. However, there are many risks involved when connecting your company’s network to the internet.
Cybercriminals can use unsecured networks as a means to steal your sensitive information or plant malware onto your devices. Furthermore, these criminals can view your online activity and even use up your internet data by hacking your Wi-Fi password.
All of this can be done because there are weaknesses in your network such as an unreliable antivirus and firewall protections. Additionally, you’ll be susceptible to attacks if your servers aren’t private. To prevent cybercriminals from hacking into your company’s system you must have vulnerability management.
The process of vulnerability management is identifying potential threats, evaluating them, eradicating them and then reporting these flaws to the developers of the software you’re using. It’s the constant maintenance of digital systems to prevent breaches in your network.
Who is at Risk?
Any company that utilizes the internet to operate their business will be at risk of cyberattacks. It doesn’t matter what size your business is or which sector you fall under, you’ll be at risk if you don’t have proper vulnerability management.
Vulnerability management is not a once-off task. Your systems need constant inspections, scans and maintenance to prevent cybercriminals from hacking into your system.
The criminal can subsequently sell the information they’ve found, on the black market. Another scenario includes holding your information for ransom by using ransomware. This is a type of software used to encrypt and lock your digital information so you can’t access it until you pay the criminal a hefty fee.
You don’t want your information to be sold or held for ransom. This will cost you a lot of money and potentially ruin your business. This is why it’s crucial that you implement vulnerability management for every software package you’re using on all your company’s devices.
Furthermore, cyber-attacks are always advancing and becoming more sophisticated. Therefore there must be consistent change in cybersecurity to counteract hacking technology.
Since vulnerability management must be done on a regular basis, it can be extremely time consuming to do it manually. So you’ll need an automated system to assist you. The system you pick must have safe and reliable technology & it must have regular updates.
Automated systems are faster and much more affordable than manual system management.
Select a solution that changes with your business. As your company grows you’ll require more stable and secure systems. Your vulnerability management platform must be able to complete tasks no matter how big your company gets over time. Contact our team to find the right solution for your company as it continues to grows
We provide our clients with peace of mind. We make sure your IT Infrastructure is up to date, secure and working, and have assembled a portfolio of tools, services and products to deliver that efficiently.

Sponsorship to Cybersecurity Nonprofit: HDR Global Trading, the operator of crypto exchange BitMEX, is giving a $400,000 grant to the cybersecurity nonprofit Shadowserver Foundation.
In an April 6 statement on the company’s blog, HDR Global Trading announced that it would offer $400,000 to the organization over the next four years. The BitMEX operator will be acting as a member of the nonprofit’s new industry alliance for Internet security.
Richard Perlotto, Shadowserver Director, thanked HDR for “their rapid response to our call for help” and emphasized the organization’s commitment to fighting cybercrime. The director is referring to IT firm Cisco Systems pulling their support for Shadowserver in February, precipitating a call for new sponsors.
The trading giant has courted controversy in recent weeks, especially after unexpectedly going offline at a critical moment in trading, causing the price of Bitcoin (BTC) to plummet to $3,700 on March 13. BitMEX blamed the event on “two DDoS attacks” responsible for crashing the platform, but some questions remain unanswered.
The crypto exchange is also one of seven targeted in 11 lawsuits filed in a New York federal court on April 3. The lawsuit alleges that the exchange has sold unlicensed securities without broker-dealer licensing and engaged in market manipulation.

Earlier reports based on Snowden's documents revealed the existence of the NSA's PRISM program, and indicate that the National Security Agency spied on Brazilians.
On other End, President Obama said that the Syrian government used chemical weapons on its citizens and The United States may have to take military action against Syria.
Against same issues, yesterday various pages on NASA's website were hacked by a Brazilian Hacker named "#BMPoC" and the visitors to the pages were first greeted with a pop-up window which reads "DO NOT ATTACK THE SYRIAN" followed by another reading "U.S. SPY STOP THE BRAZIL" before the deface page appears.

While the industry focuses on exotic attacks – like the SolarWinds incident — the real risk to enterprises comes from older exploits, some as much as 20-years old. “While organizations always need to keep up with the latest security patches, it is also vital to ensure older system and well-known vulnerabilities from years past are monitored and patched as well,” says Etay Maor, senior director of security strategy at Cato Networks. “Threat actors are attempting to take advantage of overlooked, vulnerable systems.”
Our research showed that attackers often scanned for end-of-life and unsupported systems. Common Vulnerability and Exposures (CVE) identified were exploits targeting software, namely vSphere, Oracle WebLogic, and Big-IP, as well as routers with remote administration vulnerabilities.
Patching may address the problem, but enterprises find that staying on top of patching is challenging, and legacy security systems are often insufficient to stop threats. Furthermore, threat actors are constantly changing their signatures and characteristics to avoid detection.
Application vulnerabilities expose many enterprise networks to attack
During its analysis of network traffic, several security risks have been identified. Microsoft Office and Google continue to dominate, but widespread use was seen of remote access software, such as Remote Desktop Protocols (RDP), Virtual Network Computing (VNC), and TeamViewer.
If not properly secured, these applications can be targeted by threat actors with disastrous results, as was made apparent by the recent attacks on the Florida water supply system, Molson Coors, and Colonial Pipeline.
“The prevalence of remote access software is troubling from a security perspective. Many attacks on critical infrastructure involved attackers exploiting vulnerabilities and weak passwords. If organizations need to run such software, special care must be taken to ensure their security,” says Maor.
Enterprise networks also continue to be populated by consumer applications, with the most popular being TikTok that had millions of more flows than Google Mail, LinkedIn, or Spotify.
In recent months there was also a significant increase in Robinhood and eToro transactions – likely driven by the recent GameStop-Reddit-Wall Street. The data transmitted to these trading applications surpassed more popular applications such as CNN, The New York Times, and CNBC.
“The increase in consumer applications not only consumes bandwidth but poses a security risk to enterprises,” Maor said. “As the type of data flow and applications changes, so does the way in which threat actors exploit vulnerabilities, and in turn, the way enterprises secure their networks must change as well.”
Threats originate from countries other than Russia or China
To keep in front of attackers, enterprises will often block traffic from certain countries, such as Russia and China. Such an approach is ineffective. The analysis shows that during the first quarter of 2021, most threats did not originate from China or Russia. In fact, more malware attacks originated from the United States than any other country.
“Blocking network traffic to and from ‘the usual suspects’ may not necessarily make your organization more secure,” Maor said. “Threat actors are hosting their Command & Control servers on ‘friendly’ grounds including the U.S., Germany, and Japan.”

The BlackCat Ransomware group claims to have hacked SOLAR INDUSTRIES INDIA and to have stolen 2TB of “secret military data.”
The BlackCat Ransomware gang added SOLAR INDUSTRIES INDIA to the list of victims published on its Tor leak site. The company is a globally recognised industrial explosives manufacturer, it provides complete blasting solutions, including packaged, bulk explosives and initiating systems to meet its customer needs across the globe.
The BlackCat Ransomware group claims to have breached the company infrastructure and to have stolen 2TB of data, including secret military data related to weapons production.
“Because of low security, more than 2TB of sensitive data related to weapons production was stolen from Solar Industries India Limited.” reads the message published on the leak site. “The data leakage affected all products and classified documents of the company. The data includes full descriptions of engineering specifications, drawings, audits of many weapons, among others:
BlackCat published images of the stolen documents and pictures taken from the company’s security cameras as proof of the hack.
The group invites anyone wishing to bid on all Solar Group data within 24 hours of the publication of its blog to contact them in TOX.
It is interesting to notice that the gang claims have serious evidence of industrial spying in other countries (including friendly states).

Twenty years ago today, the United States invaded the nation of Iraq, intent on removing the regime of dictator Saddam Hussein and installing a stable democratic government. What followed instead was two decades of political instability and horrible sectarian violence that has yielded a modern Iraqi state that remains plagued with corruption and other problems, and is increasingly under immense pressure from the nearby regime in Iran.
To gain perspective on the legacy of the U.S. invasion of Iraq and how it continues to shape the relationship between the two countries today, Lawfare Senior Editor Scott R. Anderson sat down for conversations with two individuals whose personal and professional lives have been intimately tied up in the last two decades of the U.S.-Iraq relationship. First, Scott sat down with Ambassador Doug Silliman, who is now the president of the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington, and who previously served in numerous capacities in Iraq, including as ambassador, over his decades-long career as a U.S. diplomat. Scott then sat down with Salem Chalabi, an individual who has held numerous positions across several administrations in the Iraqi government over the past two decades, most recently serving as the head of the Trade Bank of Iraq until January of this year. In each conversation, they discuss the legacy of the U.S. invasion, how it impacts the bilateral relationship today, and the central role Iran has come to play in the country.

If you are a computer user, it is your responsibility to do everything in your power to protect your computer from malicious software or malware.
Computer virus, spyware, adware, ransomware… you’ve probably encountered these terms at least once in your life. All these terms are covered by one generic term: malware.
Many computer users fall into the notion that because they have an antivirus installed on their computer, they no longer have to be cautious about malware. This is not a good way to think if you want to keep your computer safe.
Computer viruses, ransomware, spyware, and all other malware, are continuously growing and evolving. Each day, new malware gets developed. If your computer can be fully protected by your antivirus today, that might no longer be the case tomorrow.
That said, your system can be infected by a virus, keystroke logger, or some other nefarious identity, even though your computer has an antivirus program installed.
To prevent the existence of adware on your computer, make sure that all your programs and your operating system are always updated to the latest version.
Always make sure that your firewall is activated when you’re using the Internet.
If you think that your computer has already been infected by adware, you can use an antivirus that has a built-in adware cleaner. For better measure, hire our services! We will send a computer technician to you who can make sure that all traces of malware are removed.
Ransomware is one of the more advanced and dangerous types of malware.
It is notorious for preventing the user from being able to access their computer and demanding a fixed amount of cash for the restriction to be removed.
Some ransomware will even set a deadline for the payment. Failure to send the payment results in the deletion of all your data.
Causes
Ransomware can enter your computer either through an infected email attachment that you downloaded or through your browser if you happen to visit a malicious website.
Ransomware can also access your computer through the network you are connected to. That said, it’s very important to keep your network secure. Get My Computer Repaired also offers network security services!
To prevent this dangerous type of malware from getting into your computer, it is necessary to keep all of your software up to date. Make sure that your operating system, your browsers, as well as any extensions and plug-ins you use.
Your computer’s firewall plays a huge role in protecting your computer so always make sure that it’s activated.
If your data is already being held for ransom, it’s time for you to call the experts! Get My Computer Repaired is skilled when it comes to saving computers from malware. Just ring us up and we will send a computer technician your way.
This malware’s name is already a perfect description of what this type of malware does.
Unlike the other types of malware, spyware can be pretty hard to detect. Hackers use spyware to spy on your personal information and other sensitive information like credit card numbers, passwords, and the like.
Spyware usually uses the Internet to pass the information it collects from you to a third party.
Browser hijackers and keyloggers are both a type of spyware.
Causes
Spyware often comes bundled with other software so it’s important to make sure that the software you download comes from a verified source.
If you download files from file-sharing sites, you might be putting your computer at risk of getting spyware.
Your computer can also get infected by spyware when you download an infected email attachment.
The first step to take in protecting your computer from spyware is making sure that you have an antivirus and antispyware software installed.
You should also make sure that your operating system, along with all your software, is always up to date.
Malware infection is often caused by lack of cautiousness when browsing the Internet. Keep yourself protected by increasing your browser’s security and privacy level. Take extra precaution if you frequent file-sharing sites and do not click on any pop-up ads.
If your computer has already been infected, hire our services! Get My Computer Repaired offers spyware removal among other malware removal services.
People often assume that a computer virus is the same thing as a malware. A computer virus is just one type of malware. Not all malware is considered a virus.
A computer virus is a program that infects your computer without your knowledge.
Although some viruses are more annoying than harmful, most viruses are created with the intention to destroy or gain control of vulnerable computers and networks.
A virus can easily spread through computers and networks by replicating itself, similar to what a biological virus does.
Causes
Viruses are usually hidden in seemingly harmless commonly used programs such as PDF viewers or video games.
Another common way to contract viruses is through downloading infected files from an email or from unsecured sites.
Viruses actually need human interaction in able to be activated but all it takes is one click and the virus will be able to run on your computer automatically.
The best way to keep your computer safe from a virus is to make sure that everything that is installed or downloaded on your computer is from a reliable source.
Avoid opening any attachments from unknown senders whether it is via email or other messaging platforms.
Sometimes, even though you take the utmost precaution, viruses still manage to get into your system. You can prevent the viruses from doing any damage by regularly scanning your computer using a virus scanner. Make sure to get rid of all the detected viruses and possibly harmful files.
Knowing the differences between each type of malware and how to prevent each one of them goes a long way when it comes to protecting your computer. However, there are still cases when a malware still manages to infect your computer despite your best efforts. This is where our computer services come in. Get My Computer Repaireds has both the skill and experience that will allow us to provide you with nothing but the best malware removal services.
For malware removal, computer virus removal, and other computer repairs and services, just give us a call and we will be right at your service! We are ready to remove from PC, laptops, and Mac.

Instagram users have been the target of several new credential stealers, appearing on Google Play as tools for either managing or boosting the number of Instagram followers.
Under the detection name Android/Spy.Inazigram, 13 malicious applications were discovered in the official Google Play store. The apps were phishing for Instagram credentials and sending them to a remote server. Altogether, the malicious apps have been installed by up to 1.5 million users. Upon ESET’s notification, all 13 apps were removed from the store.
All the malicious app seem to be using the same technique in their operation. They operate by harvesting Instagram credentials and sending them to a remote server. Ironically instead of their own boosting, these users accounts end up being used to increase followers for other people.
The question is what happens to stolen credentials? Apart from an opportunity to use compromised accounts for spreading spam and ads, there are also various “business models” in which the most valuable assets are followers, likes and comments.
In our research, we’ve traced the servers to which the credentials are sent off and connected these to websites selling various bundles of Instagram popularity boosters.
The scheme below explains how it works:
There are several measures you need to put in place to ensure that you are protected.
If you’ve downloaded one of these apps, you will find one of its icons under your installed applications. to clean your device, uninstall the above mentioned apps found in your Application manager or use a reliable mobile security solution to remove the threats for you.
Change your Instagram password immediately you notice from Instagram about someone attempting to log into your account to secure your account. In case you use the same password across multiple platforms, change these as well as malware authors are known to access other web services using the stolen credentials, you are advised to use a different password on each of your accounts.
Also avoid putting sensitive information to these third party apps.
Have an up to date antivirus to protect and control the download of third party apps for example ESET that has help in blocking of these malicious apps.
Its every business desire to have the right software in order to protect its assets and importantly remain compliant. Patch management is an easy concept to understand, and it is the software that automates the process is an easy product to grasp. What’s difficult and requires insight, however, is the process through which a business purchases patch management software.
This article basically gives tips on the buying out process, explaining patch management process and even giving out few vendors that could best assist in addressing management strategies.
The suitable patch management software for your business should offer many benefits beyond increased productivity and efficiency. It should helps companies remain secure from exploitation by hackers. This, in turn, can cause a great loss of assets.
Regulatory compliance is also another important area that can be secured with patch management tools. This enables businesses to give priority to certain operating systems and software in the patching process
To hence take advantage of the important and protections benefits that the software can offer, having a know how on how procure the right tool is substantial. Assessing the product’s usability, the systems it integrates with and how, and its features are just ways to ensure that the right patch management tool is chosen. Prioritizing a business needs means that a business is then ready to select the best patch management software for them.
In procuring the best software, there is need to read and know about the different business use cases where an enterprise would need automated patch management tools, how they alleviate productivity and resource issues and can help mitigate risk. This will help achieve at a decision on the best software to go for.
It’s important to learn on how to evaluate the software tools. These covers a wide range from cost to functionality. ESET Antivirus for example offers the cost of its products while also explaining their functionality to its customers for easier purchase. This helps an organization or company know which software to buy.
Selecting the right software means an organization must match up its patching strategy needs to vendors’ offerings, the systems tools which integrate with and the budget the business has set aside.
The most suitable software for an organization is then a software that closely matches its patch management and its overall strategies and within its budget. Follow this tips and get the best deal for your company.
In the past years, hacking and phishing has evolved to a whole new level. This leaves us wondering will you know you are being hacked or even if it’s just a scam that can cost you loads? Today if you were to receive a scam email, how confident are you that you would not open or download any attachments?
According to previous reports, 40% of fraudulent e-mails are opened and attachments downloaded. The numbers may seem small and harmless but in the world of e-mail open rates, that is poisonous. On this note, it is scary that Gmail phishing is on the rise since it is going beyond bounds to effectively trick users.
How it works
The new tactics are so good that the e-mail will not fall under the scam folder. This is why Gmail scams are affecting many victims. First and foremost, it all begins by receiving an e-mail from someone you know and maybe trust. Someone that may have been hacked and account stolen. The email contains information that looks familiar.
This familiarity of the details makes you open the email and even download the attachments. At one look everything looks legitimate to you. When downloading or previewing the attachments, it will take you to a Gmail login page that looks so real with no grammatical errors or even unrelated images and the graphics are perfect. The only error would be in the URL but who checks when the rest is fine? At the start of the URL, you’ll see “data:text/” and yet it should not exist. You may also see a green lock symbol at the start of the URL if you are using Chrome.
For the many who do not take note of the above, just quickly sign in and once the submission of your credentials is successful, everything is over and you know become the victim with your email being used to scam others. With your account in the hand of the hacker, they are now poisoned to compromise your personal and professional life and that may just be the beginning.
This does not happen only to Gmail users. Everyone is in danger. It only takes one to be naïve and lack legitimate and proper antivirus software that would have noted the phishing emails and the fake redirected cite. ESET products have the sole purpose of protecting you against this situations, whether on your mobile phone or tablet or computer. Enjoy safer technology today with ESET.

It may sound melodramatic—you’re not likely to see IT teams waxing sentimental about the good old days—but it is fair to say Office 365 is a game changer.
If anything, we can agree that the adoption of Office 365 is skyrocketing unlike any business app we’ve seen in the last decade. For the year ending 2017, Microsoft has claimed an Office 365 growth rate of 43% and an impressive 120 million monthly active users. Within the Zscaler ecosystem, we’re seeing a similar dynamic. On any given day, our security cloud is processing upwards of 1.3 billion Office 365 requests, and each month we process more than 2.8 petabytes of O365 traffic. Petabytes? Yeah, I struggle to wrap my brain around that, too, so let’s type it out for perspective: 2,800,000,000,000,000 bytes each month!
While the business adoption is dramatic, the true impact that O365 software is having on the user experience and the network is even more profound. To this end, it seems appropriate that we dust off our crystal ball and explore how the adoption of Office 365 has the potential challenge the way IT approaches pretty much everything from here on out. And, don’t worry, I’ll tone it down from here.
For many companies, Office 365 may be the most significant application platform to leave the data center. To be sure, you’ve most likely migrated other apps to SaaS, but with Office 365, you’ve signaled that you’re all in on this SaaS thing. While this seems like the logical choice given Office 365’s general awesomeness, the journey you’re on is one that is slowly adding cracks to the foundation of your WAN and network.
In a previous paragraph, you may have noticed that I underlined “properly deployed.” If there’s any aspect of Office 365 that causes the most grief, it is the question of how to properly deploy it. In a 2017 Tech Validate survey of 200 companies, nearly 70 percent of companies experienced weekly latency issues after deploying Office 365. Why? Because most doubled down on their existing network infrastructure and gateway appliances. It might have made sense; after all, their existing WAN had been their trusted partner for some 30 years. But, upgrading firewalls and adding bandwidth are not what Microsoft recommends for deploying Office 365. In its latest connectivity guidance, Microsoft recommends direct internet connections. Why? Office 365 traffic opens significant network connections per user—so much so that most gateways just can’t handle it. Latency climbs, the user experience drops, and frictionless access turns into anything but
To deliver the best user experience, Office 365 traffic needs to be routed directly to the internet, bypassing your network and gateway security. Add to that the fact that Office 365 apps like Skype need UDP and other ports sent direct-to-internet, and you suddenly have all your traffic headed straight to the great beyond—not just 80 and 443 traffic. This means your WAN and network have just been relegated to second fiddle for one of your most critical application platforms. As you can see, there’s a transformation that’s happening today, and it’s displacing traditional WAN and network approaches
The change Office 365 brings to the world of users is proving to be a good thing. Users get to embrace a world where frictionless access enables their productivity and creativity. But is it good for IT departments? Absolutely!
At Zscaler, we’re here to tell you that you don’t have to sacrifice control in the name of progress. No matter the user location, connection type, or internet destination, Zscaler can be your IT waystation. We’ll help you restore the control and visibility you need, while delivering the frictionless access and performance your users desire. In addition, the Zscaler security cloud has been optimized for Office 365 traffic and enables direct internet connections, Microsoft’s recommended connection method. Your users get a fast, secure connection for all their application requirements, and you’ll get a quicker deployment and save on costs and administration time.
If you’d like to learn more, please do read up on our Office 365 or Internet Access solutions, but be forewarned: nothing is likely to be the same again. And that’s no exaggeration.

The first major peak traffic event for online shopping in the United Kingdom is Mother's Day, held this year on Sunday, March 31.
As we did during peak holiday traffic events last year, we tabulated and analyzed aggregate statistics from global online retail traffic that touched nearly 100 retail websites and mobile retail apps, providing Akamai with more than 5 billion daily data points. We also extracted data for the United Kingdom and its most closely related countries, along with the United States for comparison.
GLOBAL TRAFFIC
Evaluating session traffic for the United Kingdom and related countries we compared the 2019 baseline (Feb 1 to Feb 28) against the same baseline period for Mother's Day 2018; traffic was up overall (the only exception being Canada).
On Mother's Day itself, session traffic dropped as you might expect. Let's believe that most people were visiting their Mom and not shopping online! The key exceptions are Australia and New Zealand on this specific date (March 31); which is logical since they are over the international date line.
From Mother's Day 2018 to Mother's Day 2019, Desktop as a percentage of the total dropped 6.69% while Mobile increased by 11.24%. Tablet as a percentage decreased by a whopping 29.98%, which continues to reinforce how much shoppers are using their smartphone as the preferred way to shop online, especially while out and about, away from home.
Also, according to a survey by Yes Marketing, "about 57% of more than 1,000 consumers said they have used a retailer's mobile app while in-store, often to redeem or find coupons or discover items on sale which points to how retailers are increasing their marketing efforts through loyalty or other promotions via their branded mobile app in order to entice shoppers into their stores."
This is reinforced by a slight increase in footfall traffic as reported by Ipsos Retail Performance (written in early March, hence the lack of information about April); "overall year-on-year numbers (Jan & Feb 2019) were down by -4.6%, while month-on-month figures fell -16.2%. March is expected to bring little respite. Although a repeat of last year's Siberian weather conditions is not anticipated, neither will there be an Easter boost to shopping, as it falls in April this year.
Footfall is likely to remain placid in the month ahead, with average weekly numbers forecast to edge up by +1.9% on February and by +1.0% on last year."
Mobile OS conversion rates remained consistent with what we saw last shopping season as well, with iOS users showing a higher propensity to purchase than Android users. However, both sets of OS users increased their conversion rates substantially, perhaps due to an increase in mobile user experience (UX) focus and better incentives for mobile users via their branded apps:
Examining conversion rates for key United Kingdom and related countries, in addition to the United States, the conversion rate drops off as Mother's Day approaches and shoppers begin to complete their shopping. But it does begin to pick up slightly on Mother's Day itself, perhaps for those last-minute purchases. Overall, the mobile conversion rates are still below desktop and tablet conversion rates; tablet conversion rates are high despite being the lowest device usage:
Aside from the U.S., country conversion rates held fairly steady the week leading up to Mother's Day, with a slight decrease closer to the actual day. This seems logical as most of the gift purchases would (or should) have been completed prior to Mother's Day.
This is consistent with what we observed globally during the 2018 peak holiday period. Desktops and tablets, with their larger screens, are more conducive to shoppers researching and searching for the merchandise they wish to purchase. According to research by Contentsquare, "users are increasingly using mobile as their preferred channel for online shopping, however poor user experience because sites aren't optimised for mobile stops them spending more".
Image optimization is a key area that retailers need to continue to focus on, as they strive to provide a superb UX for mobile shoppers in order to gain a competitive advantage and increase sales. Serving images, and increasingly, video that is optimised for mobile devices, including today's larger smartphone screens, will pay off for those providers that make the investment. High quality mobile experiences are increasingly important as shoppers are showing a greater propensity to purchase online and visit a store to pick up their merchandise, an approach referred to as Buy Online, Pick Up in Store (BOPIS), listed as the #1 2019 trend for retailers.
Mother's Day is the first major U.K. holiday of the year, and comparing it to a similar U.K. holiday, Boxing Day (2018), the number of attacks are higher in all categories, with the exception of Remote File Inclusion attacks.
Threat actors are not slowing down, as evidenced by the above-mentioned SOTI report and the 2018 numbers. Retailers should continue to take measures to detect, mitigate and prevent web application attacks.
Bot Attacks
The Akamai report 'State of the Internet / Security: DDoS and Application Attacks' highlights bot-generated automated credential stuffing attempts that we track. According to our research, bots can represent up to 60% of overall web traffic, but less than half of them are actually declared as bots - making tracking and blocking difficult. Compounding this is the fact that not all bots are malicious, which the SOTI report elaborates on.
As with all the peak holiday traffic events we monitored and reported on in 2018, the U.S. was the top country targeted for attacks; logical due to the high number of online users.
For this holiday, the U.S. was the highest source country, also consistent with other 2018 holidays like Boxing Day. However, as always, it's very easy for threat actors to obfuscate their true origin so it's challenging to ensure 100% accuracy.
SUMMARY
The Performance and Security peak holiday traffic trends that we analyzed and reported on in 2018 have continued into 2019, demonstrating that retailers cannot and should not relax their security vigilance and efforts to provide an optimal user experience (UX). This first major online U.K. holiday has provided us the opportunity to assess actual global data to validate our recommendations for our retail customers.
These recommendations center on providing a secure online environment for their customers along every stage of the transaction, including research, purchase, capture and storage of identity information, to help comply with regulations and address data privacy concerns. Bots in particular poses a significant challenge to distinguish between 'good' and malicious intent. Retailers should seek a partner such as Akamai to provide solutions and expertise.
In 2018, Janrain (now part of Akamai) polled U.S. internet users, putting this question to respondents: "The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will give European Union citizens greater control over how businesses can use their personal data. Would you like to see similar laws enacted in the US?" The majority of respondents (68%) said yes, while 10% said no and the remainder were unsure.
Performance matters too, retailers need to be prepared for ANY peak traffic event that could potentially stress and negatively impact the responsiveness of their site to customer's use. And, regardless of peak traffic, customers are expecting, and demanding, a superior UX. This primarily means optimizing images and videos, for each and every device (desktop, mobile, tablet) and access method (browser, mobile app).
While mobile devices should continue to be used more than desktops, it's clear from the data that tablets and desktops are still an integral part of the customer's buying journey. Each of these devices presents their own requirements for how information is presented to the user. Akamai has solutions that can automate this management, thereby freeing up your resources, and help you understand the business impact of performance with real user monitoring so you can react and make measurable changes.
Prepare for peak traffic by testing your website and mobile application performance at any load and request your CloudTest demo.

Security researchers have discovered a design flaw in a feature of the Microsoft Exchange email server that can be abused to harvest Windows domain and app credentials from users across the world.
Discovered by Amit Serper, AVP of Security Research at security firm Guardicore, the bug resides in the Microsoft Autodiscover protocol, a feature of Exchange email servers that allows email clients to automatically discover email servers, provide credentials, and then receive proper configurations.
The protocol is a crucial part of Exchange email servers as it allows admins an easy way to make sure clients use proper SMTP, IMAP, LDAP, WebDAV, and other settings.
Serper said he found that this autodiscovery mechanism used a “back-off” procedure in case it doesn’t find the Exchange server’s Autodiscover endpoint on the first try.
This “back-off” mechanism is the culprit of this leak because it is always trying to resolve the autodiscover portion of the domain and it will always try to “fail up” so to speak. Meaning, the result of the next attempt to build an autodiscover URL would be: http://autodiscover.com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml. This means that whoever owns autodiscover.com will receive all of the requests that can’t reach the original domain.
The researcher said Guardicore ran honeypots on these servers in order to understand the scale of the problem.
For more than four months, between April 16, 2021, and August 25, 2021, Serper said these servers received hundreds of requests, complete with thousands of credentials, from users that were trying to set up their email clients, but their email clients were failing to find their employer’s proper Autodiscover endpoint.
“The interesting issue with a large amount of the request that we received was that there was no attempt on the client’s side to check if the resource is available or even exists on the server before sending an authenticated request,” Serper explained in a report published today.
“Guardicore has captured 372,072 Windows domain credentials and 96,671 unique credentials from various applications such as Microsoft Outlook,” the researcher added.
All the collected credentials came via unencrypted HTTP connections, but Serper also detailed in his report today ways to collect credentials from more secure forms of authentication such as NTLM and Oauth.
While Serper provided some mitigations to prevent these leaks for system administrators and email software makers, an update from Microsoft’s side to the Autodiscover protocol design would also be needed.
Microsoft did not return a request for comment seeking additional details on Guardicore’s discovery.
The post Microsoft Exchange Autodiscover bug leaks hundreds of thousands of domain credentials appeared first on The Record by Recorded Future.

A security group operates as a virtual firewall that controls the traffic for your EC2 instances. To protect the instances within your web tier from unauthorized access, an explicit security group must be created and configured to secure access by adding inbound rules that allow traffic for specific application protocols and ports, by referencing as source the security group associated with the web-tier load balancer.
Note: Make sure that you replace all <web_tier_tag>:<web_tier_tag_value> tag placeholders found in the conformity rule content with your own tag name and value created for the web tier.
04 In the navigation panel, under NETWORK & SECURITY, click Security Groups.
05 Paste the tag set copied at step no. 1 in the Filter by tags and attributes or search by keyword box, then add a space before and after the separation colon (i.e. : <web_tier_tag_value>) and press Enter. This filtering method will return only the EC2 security groups tagged for the web tier. If no results are returned, there are no security groups tagged within your web tier and the audit process ends here. If the EC2 dashboard lists one or more security groups, continue the audit with the next step.
06 Select the EC2 security group that you want to examine.
07 Select the Inbound tab from the dashboard bottom panel.
08 On the Inbound panel, check the Type, Protocol, Port Range and Source attributes for each available inbound rule. For compliance, the security group must allow inbound connections from the web-tier ELB security group for explicit ports such as 80 and 443, i.e.
09 Repeat steps no. 6 – 8 to check other EC2 security groups, provisioned in the selected region, for compliance.
10 Change the AWS region from the navigation bar and repeat steps no. 5 – 9 for other regions.
If there are no rules that allow inbound traffic from the web-tier ELB security group on specific ports, i.e. the "UserIdGroupPairs" attribute value does not contain the ID of another group (e.g. GroupId": "sg-1234abcd"), the selected EC2 security group does not qualify as compliant web-tier security group.
08 Repeat step no. 4 – 7 to verify other EC2 security groups, provisioned in the selected region, for compliance.
09 Change the AWS region by updating the --region command parameter value and repeat steps no. 2 – 8 to perform the entire audit process for other regions.
In the Security group name box, enter a name for your new web-tier security group. Use the naming conventions recommended for this type of AWS resource.
In the Description box, provide a description to reflect the resource usage.
In the Source section, select Custom and enter the ID of the appropriate web-tier ELB security group (e.g. sg-1234abcd).
Provide a short description for the newly added inbound rule within Description box.
Click Create to deploy your new web-tier security group.
07 Select the newly created resource and choose the Tags tab from the bottom panel.
08 On the Tags panel, click Add/Edit Tags button to add the tags that will help organize the identity of the new security group within the web tier.
09 In the Add/Edit Tags dialog box, click Create Tag button and use the following format when you define your own tag set: <web_tier_tag>:<web_tier_tag_value> and ensure that the tag name (<web_tier_tag>) and the tag value (<web_tier_tag_value>) match the tag set used to organize your web-tier resources, copied at step no. 1. Once your tags are defined, click Save to apply the changes.
10 Now that the compliant security group is created and configured it is safe to replace the source security group with the new one within the EC2 instance(s) network configuration. To replace the reference to the required resource, perform the following actions:
Click Assign Security Groups to apply the changes.
Repeat steps b – e to replace the necessary security group for other EC2 instances within the web tier.
11 If required, change the AWS region from the navigation bar and repeat the entire process for other regions.
08 If required, change the AWS region by updating the --region command parameter value and repeat steps no. 2 – 7 to perform the remediation/resolution process for other regions.

A federal court in New York has charged Venezuelan cardiologist Moises Luis Zagala Gonzalez in the creation and sale of malicious software that cybercriminals used in extortion attempts, the U.S. Justice Department said May 16.
The 55-year-old physician was formally charged with attempted computer intrusions and conspiracy to commit computer intrusions.
According to the federal complaint, the "multitasking doctor" treated patients and built two ransomware strains, Jigsaw v.2 and Thanos in his spare time.
Beginning in 2019, Dr. Zagala is accused of selling and renting out the ransomware tools to cybercriminals and teaching them how to use the programs.
If convicted, the physician faces up to five years’ imprisonment for attempted computer intrusion, and five years’ imprisonment for conspiracy to commit computer intrusions.

User Behavior Analytics. Network threat detection. The increasing focus on using security data analytics to extract insight and find or predict ‘bad’ has brought with it an influx of marketing promising close-to-magical results. Among the offenders are those machine learning products suggesting data can be thrown at an algorithm and – voila! – insight will appear.
The hype around ‘ML’ in a lot of today’s infosec tooling typically obscures the less glamorous, but fundamental, aspect of data science: data collection and preparation (the latter being about 80 percent of a data scientist’s time). The truth is, machine learning and other algorithms need to be applied to appropriate, clean, well-understood data to even return valid results.
The fact that there’s misinformation in security marketing is hardly a surprise, but in an infosec context, it can have a pernicious effect. Infosec has so many complex, disparate data sets that use automated analysis to pull them together and make sense of what they mean for different stakeholders (the CISO, SecOps, IT Ops, the Risk Committee).
If machine learning products set expectations high and then fall short, lots of data skeptics can be left in their wake – including the people who hold the purse strings to security’s budget. Get it wrong the first time, and you may not get them to buy into a data-driven solution again.
Some analysis products simply can’t work without data that comes from systems tuned in a certain way. For example, if the platform you’re looking to buy uses web proxy data, what level of logging is required to get the fields it needs compared to what’s actually turned on in your solution right now? Will infosec be able to request increased logging? What about the increased storage required?
Others require data from the whole network to give you the visibility you’re looking for. Otherwise, you may be making decisions based only on the alerts you can see, not necessarily on the alerts that matter.
The vendor should inform you of how the completeness of information you’ll be making decisions on differs from what’s stated on the marketing material if there’s certain data or data fields you weren’t able to get access to.
Also consider the red tape you’ll need to deal with to get access to each different source required. Is the data owned by infosec or by a third-party, such as Infrastructure or an external vendor? Will you be able to get access to it, and in what format – i.e. has the data been modified? This is important because if it has, this can affect the analysis that’s possible.
How quickly can you ingest data, and how soon can you ingest it after it’s been created? Can you just pull it from the cloud via an API (e.g. vulnerability data), or will the network team have to move logs across your infrastructure (e.g. active directory event logs)? A lag between data being generated to being ingested may affect your ability to take timely action.
If your new threat detection solution produces 1,500 alerts daily that then need investigation by SecOps, the people to do that need to come from somewhere. Furthermore, has your vendor indicated how many of those alerts are likely to be “true”?
Machine learning models will always return “false positives,” so make sure you ask your vendor about the precision (number of true positives/ (number of true positives + number of false positives) of their algorithm and how much tuning is required to achieve this. If precision is low, your team will be wading through a lot of noise. If it’s high, but the tool requires analysts on the vendor side to do lots of tuning to achieve this, be aware of the dependency you’ll have on their skills.
It may not be an issue if you need to ingest seven data sources that are high effort to get access to and move across the network. It may not be an issue if you then need to wait for nine months for an ML model to be trained before you know if your investment delivers a strong ratio of cost to value. But it will be an issue if you don’t know about this when you sign up because these are the factors that will impact the way you approach your investment of time, effort and money – and the way you set internal expectations for what the result of your efforts will be.

The 2FA process, first we need to pair the app on the device with the User Id. So let's look at the process that does this.
The aim here is to make the mobile device as anonymous as possible and by that I mean there is nothing on it that will expose the first factor credentials.
When this is complete the user has a "paired" device with the server and although the phone knows only that it has a DEVID it knows nothing about the user at all.
When the user's phone is online the app will register it's presence by sending a request to the server saying "I am here and I am online".
Lastly the server pushes an message to the DEVID and the app generates a prompt for the user where they must click OK or CANCEL to continue.
If the app returns the user's response to the server and the response is stored in the Transaction DB as OK or CANCEL. If the request times out with not response then the status on the DB is set to FAILED.
The user's browser has been polling the server looking at the Transaction Table and notes the transaction change. If it changes to OK then the SAML token is constructed and is sent to the Smartcloud server. Any other change results in an error being displayed on the users browser.
You will note that no information about the phone is sent or stored in the browser and no information about the browser or user is sent to the phone. The connection is conducted through the server.
From a user perspective, they enter their UserID and Password, Click the SIGN IN button if 2FA is required a window will appear telling them to get their 2FA device. They open their device, open the app, tap OK and they are signed on.
YIPPEEEEE! I hear you say you have 2FA up and running.
I know for most of us Geeks we are never far from our mobile devices, we keep them close and do the "WKP" check at least every 5 minutes (WPK== Wallet,Keys,Phone). Users don't they forget their phones, they drop them into toilets, sinks, swimming pools, jacuzzi (with or without buxom ladies) ,bend them, break them, put them in the mircowave (Honestly this happened, to and i quote "Dry it out after I dropped it in a pint of beer" ) , get them stolen ("She seemed like such a nice lady in the bar")... and you can be rest assured that this calamity will occur just when they are expecting an email that they really need to read and reply to or "ALL HELL WILL BREAK LOOSE!". I am sure you know what I mean.
Given that we all know what eejits users are we need to give them an alternate method of achieving Sign-In on those occasions when they for whatever reason find themselves without their paired devices and these alternatives I will expand on in the next post.

A new study of a ransomware attack reveals the dialogue that takes place between the attacker and the victim including live chat support, a negotiated discount and a surcharge for paying in bitcoin.
Research by blockchain analytics firm Elliptic published Monday examines the case of a small business being contacted by REvil ransomware attackers demanding $50,000 in monero for a decryption tool.
In the ensuing dialogue on a "victim portal" reminiscent of live chat support on an IT help website:
The victim stated that $50,000 was too steep and asked for a reduction, to which the attacked replied "My boss can offer 20% discount."
Rather than paying in the anonymity-focused crypto monero, the victim asked to pay in bitcoin as it was easier to obtain. The attacker accepted the request, albeit with a 10% surcharge, reflecting the increased traceability of bitcoin.
The victim asked for reassurance that the attacker could perform the decryption by requesting a demonstration with two of the affected files, which the attacker appeared to oblige.
The attacker rejected a request to cut the payment to $10,000 or $20,000, finally agreeing to "25K and okay not lower."
Elliptic's research then shows the steps REvil took to launder the bitcoin received, splitting it into different streams, transferring it to different wallets and combining it with bitcoins from other sources. The analytics firms said it was able to make the information available to law-enforcement bodies, crypto exchanges and financial institutions to identify coins and wallets associated with cybercrime to take appropriate steps in preventing the criminals from being able to cash-out.
"This laundering process in this case is still ongoing, but nevertheless we can already trace some of the funds to exchanges," the report said. "Those exchanges will have information on the identities of people whose accounts received the funds – providing strong leads for law enforcement."

LAS VEGAS — Texas Instruments today announced a new technology that could dramatically change the perception and appeal of front projectors. Its new Brilliant Color DLP chipset works with a PhlatLight Light Emitting Diode (LED) light source to produce images.
Traditionally, DLP projectors relied on a color wheel and mirror design, which would produce color images in conjunction with a lamp light source. Competing projector technologies 3LCD, which uses red, green, and blue LCD panels, and LCOS both require a lamp as well.
Texas Instruments’ design is the first full-size LED projector to be shown. But the idea of using LEDs as a light source for displays is not a new one. A handful of pocket-size projectors have used LEDs as a light source, including Toshiba’s TDP-FF1AU, the Mitsubishi PocketProjector, and models from Samsung and Boxlight. Both ViewSonic and 3M have shown prototypes, as well. And LCD television and monitors have begun using LED-backlighting in the past year and a half.
No Lamp, No Fuss
Roger Carver, manager of DLP Front Projection at Texas Instruments, calls the new design a major innovation “that will be a breakthrough for the industry. It will change the face of consumer projectors,” he says.
That statement may not just be hype: Lamps, which can often cost around $300 to $500, and filters are a big chunk of the total cost of a projector over its lifetime. By not requiring a lamp, these projectors will eliminate the kid-glove treatment (being careful of the lamp, making sure the lamp has sufficiently cooled before powering off the projector) needed by current models.
By contrast, the new DLP technology is “maintenance-free: There’s no lamp replacement, no filter replacement. The LEDs last the entire life of the projector,” Carver says. “This will enable greater penetration of projectors for consumers.”
Now that Texas Instruments has cracked the secret of how to use LEDs as a light source, the company says that DLP technology is “uniquely positioned” to take advantage of LEDs.
“Other technologies, like LCD, requires you to use polarizing filter that throws away half of the light generated by the light source,” Carter says. “But it’s important to use all of the light, to maximize the brightness for consumer applications. With LEDs, DLP can use all of the light offered, because the technology doesn’t need a polarizing filter.”
Instead, red, green, and blue LEDs pulse really fast, which eliminates the need for a color wheel.
The LEDs have other benefits as well. An LED-based projector consumes less power than a lamp-based model; and the projector runs cooler, too. That in turn means an LED projector is quieter than a lamp-based projector, since manufacturers won’t need to place fans inside to cool down the lamp.
Carter says the lamp-free design of the DLP chipset and LED light source will enable projector manufacturers to produce models that are the same size, or even smaller, than current models.
More Colorful, Too
Another benefit for the new LED-based DLP technology: It extends the color gamut beyond traditional lamp projectors, just as the technology does with LED-backlit LCD televisions and monitors.
“The light spectrum of a lamp is limited compared with LEDs,” explains Carver. “LEDs have a larger light spectrum, which in turn enables a wider color gamut.” Texas Instruments says you get 50 percent more colors with LEDs than with a standard lamp projector.
Again, the company says its technology is well-matched with the LED technology. LEDs have a fast switching speed–they can switch in microseconds, notes Carver. “The DLP chipset’s mirrors can match that switching speed. You can pulse the LEDs and pulse the mirrors to get the right colors on the screen,” Carver says. “It’s the best use of the available light.”
Products Coming This Year
Currently, TI is aiming its new LED design to transform the home theater projector market. The prototype, on display as a technology demo at the InfoComm trade show here in Las Vegas, is between 500 and 1000 lumens range, Carver says. That’s the sweet spot for home theater projectors, which is why Texas Instruments chose to focus on home theater projectors first. However, business projectors need to be brighter — from 1500 to 3000 lumens — because they’re often used in ambient light environments.
The company says it expects its partners to release the first LED-based home theater projectors by the end of 2008. However, the technology will come to corporate and education projectors soon, and with sufficient lumens to serve those markets.
“This has the potential to be a game changer for corporate and education markets,” adds Carver. He expects the lumen range to grow over the next year or so, and that products will be available by end of next year.

Oracle delivered its quarterly montage of patches and updates this week. The quarterly release cycle–like Microsoft’s monthly Patch Tuesday–is designed to provide some stability and predictability for the IT admins who have to test and implement the patches, but at least one security expert thinks the Oracle system needs some work.
The January 2011 CPU (critical patch update) from Oracle addressed a total of 43 Oracle security vulnerabilities, and another 23 related to Sun software. It is a bit on the low side compared with recent CPUs, but still within the realm of normal for an Oracle quarterly update. So, why is that a problem?
Amichai Shulman, CTO of Imperva–a Web and database security company–has reviewed the Oracle CPU and provides the following analysis. “Oracle patching needs fixing.”
Shulman elaborates, “The quarterly patch cycle has seen a slowdown in fixing database vulnerabilities since the acquisition and incorporation of so many companies and products during the past year. I can’t believe there is only one database fix quarter-to-quarter when there must be dozens or even hundreds of vulnerabilities,” adding, “In the past, when Oracle had far fewer products, they would patch 100 database vulnerabilities at a time. One would assume that more products require more fixes, yet we are seeing smaller patches with less fixes for more products.”
To that point, during the two year timeframe that Oracle has been following the quarterly patch update cycle, it has also acquired an additional fourteen companies including Virtual Iron and Sun Microsystems. It seems reasonable to expect that incorporating products and tools from fourteen new companies should make the vulnerability and patch count increase. To be fair, though, Java updates are not included in these numbers because Oracle has established a separate update cycle dedicated to Java.
Shulman also takes issue with the lack of clarity or disclosure from Oracle. Oracle has chosen to make it a policy not to elaborate on vulnerability details, citing concerns that hackers would use the information to develop exploits. However, attackers probably knew about the holes before Oracle, and have the ability to reverse-engineer the patch to find the root vulnerability, so really it is only Oracle customers who are left in the dark without the information necessary to make informed risk assessments.
“Without such insight, Oracle customers cannot develop a work-around for their production application and I find it hard to believe a company would patch critical applications without months of testing,” proclaims Shulman. “This lack of transparency is outrageous behavior. Vendors expect researchers to share details with them responsibly, yet they fail to do the same with security vendors and their customers.”
Stability and predictability in the update process is a good thing, but perhaps quarterly is not frequent enough for an organization like Oracle to meet the demand of vulnerability patching necessary for the range of products and technologies it has to address. There comes a point where the vulnerabilities that are left unpatched are bigger news than the flaws that are fixed, and customers are left in limbo to fend for themselves until the next update.

IDC expects the cloud workload security software market to grow from $2.2 billion in 2021 to $5.1 billion in 2026.1 “The past few years have demonstrated that in challenging times, businesses increasingly rely on cloud services to modernize their operations and deliver more value to customers. This trend is expected to continue as public cloud providers offer more ways of extending cloud services to on-premises datacenters and edge locations. These expanded deployment options reduce many barriers to migration and will facilitate the next wave of cloud adoption. … A rising tide raises all boats. Growth in cloud drives growth in cloud security solutions,” said Frank Dickson, Group Vice President, Security & Trust at IDC, and Philip Bues, Research Manager, Cloud Security at IDC.
Organizations across every industry are migrating to the cloud at a rapid pace as part of digital transformation initiatives. However, the rapid movement to hybrid and multi-cloud environments has increased the complexity of the attack surface. Today’s hybrid environment of interconnected endpoints, applications and compute infrastructure across the data center and in the cloud creates new entry points for attackers. With the rise of Zero Trust, the ethos is “assume breach” and the goal needs to shift from “keep them out and find them fast” to “minimize the impact and stop the spread.” Zero Trust Segmentation is a modern security approach that contains and minimizes the impact of breaches.
“As attacks grow more frequent and severe and IT environments become increasingly complex, security teams are adopting an ‘assume breach mindset’ which acknowledges that even with the best prevention and detection tools in place, breaches are going to happen,” said PJ Kirner, CTO, and Co-founder at Illumio. “Our mission is to prevent breaches from spreading with Zero Trust Segmentation, an essential pillar of Zero Trust that builds internal barriers to stop attacks from proliferating across and between cloud environments. We’re excited to join CSA because our missions both share a common purpose to help organizations make their hybrid networks, critical infrastructure, and communities resilient to attacks.” “While organizations become more hyperconnected and the threat landscape becomes more volatile, most security leaders understand the importance of Zero Trust as a concept, but many face challenges in developing and acting on these security plans,” said Jim Reavis, Co-founder, and CEO of CSA. “Illumio’s expertise and leadership in Zero Trust Segmentation as a strategic pillar to a Zero Trust Architecture will be an invaluable resource joining the CSA.”

Economic losses caused by cyber attacks are now being considered as potentially damaging as those caused by disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and Superstorm Sandy.
A new report from Lloyd’s of London has found that a cyber attack on a global scale could result in losses of £40.48 billion, a figure that has grown in line with the increasing formidability and profile of cyber threats.
Due to difficulty in calculating the true financial cost of a cyber attack, Lloyd’s of London gave broad margins to the estimate, with potential losses set at between $15 billion and $121 billion. The report was co-written by risk-modelling firm, Cyence.
To put the top end of this scale into perspective, natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, and U.S. Superstorm Sandy incurred losses that surpassed $100 billion.
A figure of $53 billion (£40.48 billion) is the midpoint given by the insurer, representing an attack on a large enough scale to halt a cloud service provider.
The hypothetical scenario used in the report involves malicious code being inserted into the software of a cloud provider that would come into effect a year later triggering crashes. In the meantime the malware would have spread among customers and service providers alike, resulting in vast losses.
Cyber attacks on a global scale are beginning to be recognised in the mainstream, with instances such as the WannaCry ransomware attack causing worldwide chaos that grabbed headlines. Major, critical organisations such as the National Health Service and Telefonica were rendered inoperable.
Examples such as this could explain the reason cyber attacks are being viewed so seriously by Lloyd’s of London.
Fears are also growing surrounding the potential for successful cyber attacks on critical infrastructure; an example of this is the SCADA attack on the Ukrainian power grid that resulted in a mass outage.

More recent news pertaining to global cyber attacks on infrastructure include a report from the FBI and Homeland Security in the US that revealed attacks on nuclear power plants.
In instances such as this, not only could potentially massive economic losses be incurred, but there is also a question of whether human life could be endangered. A new form of malware geared specifically toward attacking infrastructure called Industroyer has also been recognised globally.

IronNet Cybersecurity released a report assessing timely topics such as the estimated cost per enterprise of the SolarWinds cyberattack, executive-level engagement in attack responses, and the effect of information sharing on an organization’s overall security posture.
Sapio surveyed 473 IT security decision makers in the technology, public services, financial, and utilities sectors across the United States, United Kingdom, and Singapore.
Organizations report high level of cybersecurity posture confidence
The report revealed a complex relationship between the reported level of confidence organizations have in their cybersecurity posture and their ongoing attack volume and impact: that is, despite rising confidence, incidents are increasing, too.
While 92 percent of respondents express confidence in their current security technology stack, adversaries are still evading traditional defensive technologies. Nearly half of respondents cited a rise in cyber incidents in the past 12 months, in part due to the increasing sophistication of attacks; and the SolarWinds attack cost, on average, 11 percent of affected respondents’ annual revenue.
What is helping is information sharing
Responses revealed positive effects of cyber-related information sharing on an organization’s overall cybersecurity posture.
90 percent of respondents indicated that the security posture of their company has improved over the past two years.
72 percent of companies who have increased information sharing with industry peers report their overall security posture has improved over the past two years.
Despite the reported benefits of information sharing for improving cybersecurity, respondents indicated that there are still obstacles that limit collaboration among industry peers: concerns about data privacy and liability (53 percent), the lack of an automated or standard mechanism to share information with peers (34 percent), and the fact that shared information is not timely or relevant by the time companies receive it (33 percent).
General (Ret.) Keith Alexander, Co-CEO of IronNet, said, “Organizations are clearly struggling to keep up with the volume and impact of cyberattacks coming from well-funded and well-organized nation states. We believe that the main reason for this is that every organization is still trying to battle these attacks individually, when they should be working together to create an exponentially stronger defense.
Answering calls to action
Calls for faster, more relevant threat information sharing continue to come from industry- and national-level cybersecurity initiatives. Former President Barack Obama initiated momentum on this concept with his 2015 Executive Order on Cybersecurity, which promoted private sector cybersecurity information sharing.
In March 2020, the U.S. Cyberspace Solarium Commission report emphasized this same call to action, as did President Biden’s U.S. Presidential Executive Order on Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity in May 2021, emphasizing threat information sharing as a primary theme and signaling to the public and private sectors that still more of this type of collaboration is needed in a timely, immediate, and relevant way.
The report’s findings related to the SolarWinds/SUNBURST attack revealed that organizations are urgently turning toward a threat-sharing model. The report provided an inside look into the financial damage stemming from this widespread supply chain attack that struck 18,000 companies and nine U.S. government agencies.
Among the 85 percent of respondents affected by SolarWinds, nearly one third said their organization felt a significant financial impact from the attack. In fact, the attack cost affected companies, on average, 11 percent of their annual revenue.
These findings demonstrate the pressing need for a transformative approach to cybersecurity — an approach that operationalizes timely, relevant, and actionable threat sharing among industry peers and with the government.

The above site takes those eager to hand over personal information to the cleaners – there’s a wide variety of data harvested including Online ID and passcode, name, DOB, social security number, drivers license number, email address and password. That’s not all – there’s also 3 security questions and payment information / address to complete the carefully laid out steps.
That’s a lot of info to hand over to scammers, and anybody who thinks they may have been caught by something similar to the above should contact their bank immediately. Some of the images on the website are apparently broken and none of the URLs look remotely like legitimate BoA URLs so that will hopefully deter a few would be banking disasters.
While in the process of drafting this blog we’ve noticed the second site which asks for the bulk of the banking customer information is being flagged by Chrome for phishing, so hopefully that will help to reduce the potential victim pool still further.
We’ll update the post as we test with different browsers, but for now watch what you click and be very cautious should you see either of the two URLs pop up in an unsolicited email…

'100 Women in 100 Days' is a career development program made possible by a $160,000 gift from Craig Newmark Philanthropies.
A new professional development initiative will give 100 women the opportunity to revamp their careers and prepare for new roles in cybersecurity in only 100 days. "100 Women in 100 Days" is the result of a $160,000 philanthropic investment by Craig Newmark Philanthropies.
Cyber-risk management firm Inteligenca will manage the program and provide free security training to students. CEO Carmen Marsh shared her idea for the program on LinkedIn last October. So far, nearly 200 women have registered and await their turn to participate.
Allegiant Giving, an organization that aims to support students, athletes, and veterans in local community programs, helped Marsh confirm trainers, mentors, facilities, and potential employers. On the program's website, registrants can choose to pursue a certification: CompTIA A+, CompTIA Network+, CompTIA Security+, and Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH). Intel, IBM, Sutter Health, Centene, and other organizations have signed on to accept students into internships and apprenticeships.
The inaugural class will kick off in Sacramento, Calif., this summer, and Marsh plans to expand the program nationally in 2020 and beyond. Craig Newmark, founder of Craigslist and Craig Newmark Philanthropies, supports the plan to take the program across the county. Newmark works with several groups to create opportunities in security; last year, he gave $1 million to VetsinTech to support bringing veterans into the industry.

The year 2017 will be recorded as the year in which the threat to cyber security became fully weaponised, bursting the bounds of any perceived non-proliferation measures.
Cutting-edge cyber tools are no longer the preserve of advanced nations’ intelligence agencies or the most sophisticated criminal gangs. Cyber attacks no longer major on the pilfering of financial credentials for purposes of fraud, or the covert theft of national secrets or intellectual property in support of political or industrial espionage. Such surgical, precise targeting — if it ever was a dominant feature — is now merely one approach available to attackers.
There has been a tectonic shift. Its cause is the theft and deliberate dissemination — by a hacker group calling itself the Shadow Brokers — of a wide range of nation state-calibre cyber tools that were cutting edge in their day and that remain potent and highly destructive. We saw their effects all too vividly in the mayhem caused by WannaCry and NotPetya in mid-2017. Public sector bodies like the UK’s National Health Service were severely hit. But so too were major international businesses — including Nissan, FedEx, Telefónica, and Maersk.
What does all this mean? It means that business is firmly in the crosshairs of cyber attackers, and that the weapons at their disposal now bring both physical and virtual harm, including damage to and even destruction of data. It means attacks are increasingly indiscriminate: You don’t have to be specifically targeted to be at risk.
The actors in this space have multiplied, their capabilities have proliferated across attacker groups and across sectors, and further contagion across a great variety of unintended victims is a very real likelihood.
India can choose to see this as an opportunity or a threat: Get ahead or get hit harder. Currently, with some honourable exceptions, the target landscape is a rich one for cyber attackers, so it is particularly welcome that the Reserve Bank of India has made better governance of the cyber risk a priority across the banking and financial sector.
But better understanding of the risk is necessary across all business sectors: Diligence, curiosity and priority need to be watchwords around every board and executive committee table. How might a negative cyber event affect our business? What if cyber thieves steal information on our networks — whether covertly or overtly — with subsequent publication causing crippling reputational damage? What if someone maliciously distorts or changes the information and data we hold? What if we suddenly find access to our data, the lifeblood of our business, disrupted or denied, or the data itself destroyed?
Such fundamental questions quickly raise others. Where is our data held? How well is it protected (and by whom)? Who can access it (do we know and log who accesses what and when)? Which organisations other than ours have access to that data? What data belonging to third parties do we hold?
These enquiries should prompt a battle rhythm of attention from company leaders. Boards and excoms (executive committees) need to build clear organisational structures and reporting lines, and an enterprise-wide sense of responsibility for cyber risk, founded on expert, current and independent advice. The penny must drop that this threat cannot simply be pigeon-holed as a technical issue and delegated to the IT department: Cyber risk is now a primary business risk.
I write this as a great admirer of modern India, and with an intuitive belief that India is in a position to leapfrog others in this space. And the government attaches real priority to the digital agenda, IT excellence in the shape of world-class firms radiates from India, regulators are thoughtful, business leaders listen and act.
But the clock is ticking. The time to act is now.

Microsoft has announced the discovery of a zero-day vulnerability affecting all supported versions of Microsoft Windows and Windows Server 2008 and 2012. Reports are also coming in that this specific vulnerability has been exploited and used in attacks against the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and several European industries and sectors.
According to reports, this vulnerability (CVE-2014-4114) was exploited as part of a cyber-espionage campaign of attackers dubbed as the “Sandworm Team.” This particular vulnerability has allegedly been in use since August 2013, “mainly through weaponized PowerPoint documents.” Details of the vulnerability have been made available, including the following:
This vulnerability exists in the OLE package manager in Microsoft Windows and Server.
The OLE packager can download and execute INF files. “In the case of the observed exploit, specifically when handling Microsoft PowerPoint files, the packagers allow a Package OLE object to reference arbitrary external files, such as INF files, from untrusted sources.”
If exploited, the vulnerability can allow an attacker to remotely execute arbitrary code.
Microsoft has announced that it will release a patch for this vulnerability as part of this month’s Patch Tuesday. We encourage both users and admins to immediately download and install the patches as soon as they are made available.
We are currently analyzing the related sample. We will update this entry as soon as more details and solutions are available.
Cybersecurity in 2020 will be viewed through many lenses — from differing attacker motivations and cybercriminal arsenal to technological developments and global threat intelligence — only so defenders can keep up with the broad range of threats.

These days botnets are all over the news. Often we hear them described in vague, ominous terms designed to grab people’s attention. In simple terms, a botnet is a group of computers networked together running a piece of malicious software that allows them to be controlled by a remote attacker, better known as a botmaster. Often I think people abuse their readers to a certain extent by over-hyping certain threats. I would like to take a more reasonable approach here.
Our team has a lab dedicated to running malicious software that we refer to as our malware lab. We use the lab to ensure our security products work against various real-world threats. Basically, we do things like intentionally leaving hosts un-patched behind security devices and purposefully infect and attack boxes protected by various devices. This helps to ensure that in a worst-case scenario we know our products work. To that end, I periodically track down new samples of malware. Recently, I came across a sample that could be used to create your own botnet.
I will explain exactly what this bot does; I’ll even show you some of the code. This is a very simple and generic example of a bot and is very likely no threat to your network. It’s designed as a kit to be distributed to inexperienced botmasters. It’s the Easy-Bake Oven of botnets, but the concepts I will cover extend to the most complex botnets.
This will be the first in a series of posts exploring a bot written in the Java programming language. Because the Java is easier to read than most, throughout this series we will explore the actual code for the more interesting features.
We will begin exploring this sample by first determining what type of file the botnet payload executable is. The vast majority are in portable executable (PE) format, the standard Windows executable file format. Since most of the good guys are fairly proficient at analyzing standard binaries these days, more often than not, malware authors encode or otherwise obfuscate a binary. Often they use what is known as a packer to try to make it more difficult to analyze. Every now and then we’ll find something slightly different.
The easiest way to determine most formats is to simply use the file command. The file command will parse the file and attempt to determine what type of file it is. The strings command is also fairly useful. This command extracts printable characters from a file and prints them as strings. Things like compression can obfuscate a file since the file’s contents are compacted. You can usually use strings to immediately tell if a file has been obfuscated. An obfuscated file usually does not have any strings consisting of words or sentences. In the real world, binary packers can be used as compression algorithms designed to shrink the size of a binary. When seen in malware, the design of a packer usually focuses on hampering reverse engineering. I usually find that packers either encode nearly all strings as non-printables or encode them as long strings of random characters. In unobfuscated files you will normally see quite a few printable strings consisting of words and sentences, although they may not always be in English. In this case, I started out with the strings command just to see what stood out.
Immediately I noticed that this was not in the standard PE format. Also, all of the legible ascii strings are a good indicator that the file is not packed or otherwise encoded/encrypted.
The .class entries were a huge give-away; this was simply a Java archive (JAR) file. It’s not necessarily typical for a JAR file to contain all of the source code needed to compile the program, but in this case we got lucky. I had not come across a Java-based bot before so I decided to dissect it further. After extracting the files with a sample decompression program I was pleased to see the author even included a project file for an open-source development platform called Eclipse. I use virtual machines to do most of my analysis. Once I loaded Eclipse onto my virtual machine, the project file loaded all of the source code without any issues.
You can see here that the author does a very nice job of organizing his code to make it easy to follow. A quick glance at the various files gives you a pretty accurate picture of the botnet’s abilities. While in theory it is possible that a bot written in Java is capable of infecting and functioning on a variety of operating systems due to the nature of Java, at this time the bot is only capable of installing itself on Windows machines. It is possible that the author chose Java since some anti virus companies may not be able to properly parse Java byte code.
In the following posts in this series we will focus on several areas. First, we will explore the ways the botmaster controls his network of bots. We will also cover the different ways the botmaster updates and maintains his network of bots. Next we will discuss different types of denial of service (DoS) attacks, digging into the ones supported by our bot. We will then explore combining the actions of several bots to create an effective distributed denial of service attack (DDoS). And finally, we will dig into the features I find most impressive about this bot. These include features that in the past we’ve only seen in much more complex botnets like ozdok, conficker, or waledac.

An analysis of iPad 2 finds that Apple's total cost to produce the tablet is almost identical to that of the original iPad introduced a year ago.
Apple was able to keep costs down despite the fact that a number of iPad 2 components, including the display subsystem and battery, are considerably more expensive than those of the original tablet.
The analysis breaks down the components of the iPad 2, assigns a price tag for each, and estimates the actual manufacturing costs to come up with a total. There's only a $3 difference between the GSM- and CDMA-equipped 32GB iPad 2 models: $336.60 for the former, $333.25, according to IHS iSuppli.
TEARDOWNS: iFixit looks inside the iPad 2 and its Smart Cover
Most of that total is a tally of the bill of materials (BOM) -- all the chips, memory, the display components, and so on -- totaling $326.60 for the GSM model, and $323.25 for the CDMA model. iSuppli estimates the cost to manufacture each tablet is $10.
The most expensive components: display, at $127; memory (for the 32GB model) at $65.70; mechanical/electrical (enclosure, connectors, etc.), at $35; and the battery, at $25.
The total BOM for the iPad 2 is only just a few dollars more than the total for the original iPad, which iSuppli put at $320 when it the tablet was released in April 2010.
In Video: Unboxing the iPad 2
Among other things, Apple may have been able to leverage its supply chain relationships in light of the much higher anticipated unit sales of iPad 2. The original iPad sold about 15 million units in the nine months it was available in 2010. Estimates of iPad 2 sales typically start at about twice that and go up.
iSuppli's analysis shows that the components and vendors for iPad 2 are little changed from the original tablet. "The iPad 1 and iPad 2 use the same components and suppliers for the NAND flash, the multi-touch controllers and touch screen drivers, as well as the same core chip in the wireless section as was found in the iPhone 4," says Andrew Rassweiler, senior director and principal analyst and teardown services manager for IHS, in a statement. "Many of the other components -- including the apps processor and the Bluetooth/frequency/global positioning system/wireless local-area network chips -- have the same suppliers and are essentially new revisions of the chips found in the previous iPad and other iPhones."
Holding the iPad 2 cost flat is all the more remarkable considering that the new tablet's screen is quite a bit more expensive than the original's, by about one-third, according to iSuppli. The firm estimates the iPad 2 display/touch screen subsystem carries a price tag of $127, compared to the its estimate of $95 for the first iPad.
There are a number of reasons for the jump in costs, most traceable to the manufacturing challenges faced by suppliers. iSuppli: "Production yields, though they have been improving, have been very low throughout 2010, and drove prices to be much higher than initially expected. Furthermore, refinements in the touch screen specifications have driven the price point even higher for the iPad 2. Contributing factors to that cost increases include more expensive glue to improve the efficiency/performance in the bonding, thinner Gorilla cover glass and a more detailed inspection process requiring additional equipment for optical and panel examination."
The new tablet's battery is more expensive, at $25 versus $21 in iPad 1. For the new tablet, the battery is much thinner and uses three cells instead of two. The associated power management circuitry for these batteries is a key reason why Apple can maximize battery life while holding down battery size and weight, according to iSuppli.
The other notably more expensive component is the A5 processor, the first dual-core version of Apple's custom-designed, and Samsung-built, CPU. According to iSuppli, the A5's estimated price of $14 is 75% higher than that of the A4 used in the original iPad. The firm notes that this cost will drop over time as chip production volume increases.
Those components alone add $39.50 to the cost of the original iPad. Yet, somehow, Apple was able to hold down the total cost of the iPad 2 components list plus manufacturing, perhaps by squeezing out other costs from its supply chain. This may explain why one analyst's predicted price cut for the iPad 2 didn't materialize: (See "Will the hottest thing about iPad 2 be the price?")
Former equities analyst Anton Wahlman noted that with iPad 2, Apple "is probably looking to sell 60 million units worldwide starting this March" compared to about 15 million for iPad 1. The much higher volume gives Apple supply chain leverage. Wahlman wrote: "When you go from planning under 10 million units to 60 million, you can negotiate much better manufacturing prices. Components can also be optimized for cost, to a different degree. Apple is pre-paying for critical parts, such as memory and displays, taking risk out of the contract manufacturers, which pressures the price down."
Squeezing out those extra costs let Apple absorb the higher-priced iPad 2 components, keep the total iPad cost almost level, and keep the consumer price tag unchanged, giving it a price advantage compared to rival Android-based tablets, perhaps for many months.

The incident came to light after a reader tipped off BleepingComputer about links to exposed systems listed within the references section.
The reference links would lead the readers to a remote administration dashboard of the exposed IP cameras or video devices, allowing any users to watch live camera feed or exploit the flaw.
The original source of the security mishap was a security writeup posted by Chinese security researchers on GitHub. Several vulnerable links were added as examples in that write-up.
MITRE's CVE entry for the flaw was reserved and awaiting production. However, the references section included the links to the vulnerable live IoT devices, which could be accessed and misused by attackers.
A large number of sources use MITRE for getting vulnerability feeds. The advisory has already been broadcasted by various public sources, vendors, and services providing CVE data.
