Machine learning and cyber security-…
Over the last few years, Middle Eastern economies have increased their dependency on technology and state-of-the-art ICT solutions to deliver high-quality, efficient, and effective services. With this increased dependency comes the need for organisations and governements alike to protect these critical infrastructure.
We sat down with Mariana Pereira, a Director at Darktrace, the world leader in Enterprise Immune System technology for cyber security. She gave her take on some of the cyber security challenges prevalent in the MENA region and how machine learning/artificial intellignece could be the answer to some of those challenges.
Cyber security is one of the greatest technical challenges of our day. Nation states, enterprises and individuals are today routinely outpaced both by sophisticated attackers and internal threats, who are successful not only in infiltrating fortified network borders, but also in going unnoticed inside their systems for long periods of time. At Darktrace, we are seeing three main challenges emerge in the MENA region.
Firstly, we are seeing new areas of vulnerability arise as modern companies embrace the Internet of Things. The proliferation of new connected objects multiplies the inroads to critical networks and data, yet organisations often have remarkably poor visibility of these hidden outposts of their networks.
Secondly, the threat posed by insider-related activity is expanding. These incidents are not necessarily malicious; however, the increasing digitization of everyday work processes means that legitimate network users can expose data and systems to significant vulnerabilities.
Finally, the thriving ecosystem of cyber criminals means that malware can be bought easily and cheaply on the dark web. Attackers can therefore easily outpace the efforts of human security teams to identify and block new variants of threats.
Some of these challenges could prove a hurdle to economic development across the region. How can your company support national efforts to collectively tackle cyber security?
These challenges threaten not only economic development, but critical infrastructure as well. While hundreds of potential attacks are being blocked every day, it’s critical to recognize that a significant number of advanced attacks will get through the border and into the network. This reality of pervasive threats means that it is vital that organisations are continually monitoring for abnormal activity and remediate emerging threats before they escalate. Artificial intelligence can help here, because it is constantly learning: it can detect and autonomously respond at the first subtle signs of threats within a network.
In an age of limitless data and complex networks, there is simply too much happening, too quickly, for legacy information security methods to be able to deal with. The principal reason for this is that legacy security tools typically depend on pre-defining the threat, and using rules based on these prior assumptions in an attempt to stop the attack at the network boundary. However, threats are evolving too quickly for rules and signatures to be sufficient.
To catch advanced threats, it is often necessary to look across a number of slight, subtle changes in order to establish a pattern of abnormality. Humans can be very effective in performing this nuanced task, however they do not have 24/7 attention spans, and get bored. This is why we need machine learning.
Advanced machine learning is at the forefront of the fight against sophisticated cyber-threats, overcoming the limitations of rules and signature-based approaches. Firstly, it learns what is normal within a network – it doesn’t depend upon knowledge of previous attacks. Secondly, it thrives on the scale, complexity and diversity of modern businesses, where every device and person is slightly different. Thirdly, it turns the innovation of attackers against them – any unusual activity is visible. Fourthly, it constantly revisits assumptions about behavior, using probabilistic mathematics. And finally, it is always up to date and not reliant on human input.

Last week, Microsoft released Windows 10 Insider Preview build 14955 for PCs and phones in the Fast ring. Some users reported issues with installing the Mobile build, but Microsoft later published a workaround for those problems.
Recent builds from the Development Branch, like 14955, have been referred to by the codename 'Redstone 2' - but last week, Microsoft announced that RS2 builds will eventually roll out to all users as the Windows 10 Creators Update. In addition to revealing a range of features - including improvements to the communications experience, and new additions for gamers - Microsoft also said that it would release a new Creators Update build by the end of the week... but it never materialized.
But today, Microsoft rolled out Windows 10 Insider Preview build 14959 to the Fast ring, although it's a bit light on new features.
The new Mobile build is the first to be published through Microsoft's new 'Unified Update Platform' (UUP), which promises significant improvements to the update process. Microsoft says that it will eventually "enable differential downloads for all devices built on the Mobile and PC OS", delivering "only the changes that have been made since the last time you updated your device, rather than a full build". You can find out more about the UUP here.
We fixed an issue for Insiders resulting in the automatic brightness setting unexpectedly being turned off after upgrading. In doing so, we’ve re-enabled automatic brightness adjust for users that have never changed their auto-brightness setting. If you have already manually configured your auto-brightness setting, then this fix will not affect you. If you would like to enable or disable automatic brightness adjustment, please go to Settings > System > Display, where you can adjust your preferences.
We fixed an issue Insiders on domain connected PCs may have experienced where login might fail when the computer was disconnected from its domain network.
We fixed an issue resulting in certain apps, such as Outlook Mail and Calendar, failing to update for some Insiders with the error code 0x800700B7.
We fixed an issue for Insiders with certain device models where ejecting an SD card might result in a system crash.
We fixed an issue where disliking one of the Spotlight lock screen images would show the new image immediately, followed by a transition animation from the previous image to the new image.
We fixed an issue where launching an app from another app while in Tablet mode no longer launched it side by side, and instead launched it fullscreen (for example, when launching a web link from the MSN News app).
The list of known issues is pretty short for this build:
If you have a 3rd party antivirus product installed on your PC – your PC might not be able to complete the update to this build and roll-back to the previous build.
We’re aware of an issue where Internet Explorer may crash a few seconds after launch and working.
Microsoft has said that the Windows 10 Creators Update will be released in "early 2017". The company has made references to the update as "Version 1703", indicating that it's aiming to begin its general rollout in March.

The publisher Forbes appears to be the most recent victim of malicious actors pushing Magecart POS skimming malware.
Security researcher Troy Mursch, of Bad Packets Reports, set off the alarm on Twitter indicating Forbes magazine subscription website had been infected and was removing credit card data, Tripwire reported. As with other Magecart cases, the malware copied payment card numbers, expiration dates, three digit CVV/CVC security number, carhdholder names, addresses, and phone numbers.
The malware may have gained access to Forbes through a third-party vendor that was used to supply icons to the website and which has since been taken down, Tripwire said.
Forbes joins a long and growing list of companies that have been hit with Magecart, the most recent being the Atlanta Hawks online store, Ticketmaster and British Airways.

A new unpatched vulnerability in Windows means attackers could exploit it and steal information and dupe people into installing malware.
In a security advisory issued, Microsoft said attackers can use a bug in Windows’ MHTML (MIME HTML) protocol handler to run malicious scripts within Internet Explorer (IE).
Cross-site scripting bugs (XSS) can insert malicious script into a Web page that can then take control of the session.
“Such a script might collect user information, for example e-mail, spoof content displayed in the browser or otherwise interfere with the user’s experience,” said Angela Gunn, a Microsoft security spokeswoman, in a Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) blog.
The vulnerability became clear when the Chinese Web site WooYun.org published proof-of-concept code.
MHTML is a Web page protocol that combines resources of several different formats — images, Java applets, Flash animations, etc. — into a single file. Only Microsoft’s IE and Opera Software’s Opera support MHTML natively: Google’s Chrome and Apple’s Safari do not, and while Mozilla’s Firefox can, it requires an add-on to read and write MHTML files.
That means IE users are most at risk.
All supported versions of Windows, including Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7, contain the flawed protocol handler.
There is no patch available right now. However, in lieu of a patch, Microsoft recommended users lock down the MHTML protocol handler by running a “Fixit” tool it has made available. The tool automates the process of editing the Windows registry, which if done carelessly could cripple a PC, and lets IE users continue to run MHTML files that include scripting by clicking through a warning.
You can access the Fixit tool at Microsoft’s support site.

1. IT/Cyber security budget vs. cyber security program maturity
While it is important to have an adequate budget for cyber security, how a program is organised and governed may be equally if not more impactful than how is spent relative to a company’s overall IT budget or revenue. Indeed, many companies with below average cyber security budget allocations managed to achieve a high program maturity level, while some that had higher than average spending were actually less advanced (see the different cyber security maturity levels in the image below).
Cyber security maturity levels 2. Large vs. small financial service institutions
According to our survey, company size is likely to be a factor in an financial service institutions cyber security reporting structure. More than one-half of the CISOs responding from smaller companies reported directly to the CEO, which is likely to reflects a flatter organisational structure. At the largest responding companies, the CISO was more likely to report the CIO, COO, or CRO.
3. Cyber innovation as top priority
When it comes to new investments, survey respondents indicated that innovation and emerging technology are top-of-mind for CISOs, with cloud, data and analytics and social media topping the list of technology items that warrant attention at the larger firms.

Southern Glow and Madeline are the best in the business! Being fair skinned it is very hard for me to find any kind of spray tan or sunless tanner that does not turn me orange. Let me tell you, I have found it! Not only is it a convenient in-home tan sesh, it leaves you with a natural looking, NON-orange bronze that lasted for an entire week. Highly recommended. Thank you, Madeline!
I recently got a tan from Madeline and I really love the results. The last, and first spray tan I had was too dark and super streaky, so needless to say it wasn't the best experience. The fact that Southern Glow on the Go will come to your home makes is very convenient. The customer services was awesome, Madeline was very professional and easy to talk to. I highly recommend!

During the official launching ceremony of Titan System Integration’s latest office in Kuala Lumpur, CEO Melvin Foong did a brief comparison of their latest endpoint antivirus (AV) security solution Cylance against two other AV solutions in the market.
Three aspects were measured – detection capabilities, CPU usage and RAM usage – and each AV was put in its own virtual machine which each contained 70 mutated malwares. These malwares’ signatures are also not currently recognised by free online scanning service, Virus Total.
Needless to say Cylance beat out their traditional AV competitors, detecting all 70 malwares in its environment while still maintaining pretty low RAM and CPU usage.
(L-R): A traditional AV solution is being pitted against Cylance. The goal? To detect 70 zero-day malwares with the least impact upon computing resources.
As opposed to traditional malware detection which is signature-based and resource-consuming because of the side-by-side signature comparison method, Cylance works on something called ‘file energy’; you can tell if a file is good or bad at a glance.
Moving forward, Cylance foresees detection methods moving beyond signatures comparison on towards something similar to their ‘aura’ detection technology.

Think this doesn’t apply to your Company? Think again.
The process of contingency planning can get an entire organization optimistically thinking about the importance of numerous business practices, procedures, policies and safety measures.
Do you remember when the Y2K hysteria underscored the urgency for contingency planning? The worldwide WORRY of, what is going to happen? What will everyone do about food, water, electricity? What if I can’t get into my bank account? How will I get to my children? What if transportation goes hay-wire? What will happen if we lose all of our inventory data? What if safety devices fail? What do we do if we have a hazardous spill?
Today, most quality driven and safety minded organizations will have a contingency plan and contingency planning process. Why, you ask? Bottom line! A contingency plan can reduce or completely alter various business risks, property damage, transportation emergencies and possibly even save lives during a worst case scenario.
A contingency plan should be attainable by all employees, provide detailed procedures on how to initiate emergency response personnel including contact information, prepare for worst case scenarios, provide steps and chain of events to limit down time, evacuation and hazard awareness, personal safety and first aid locations, mechanical shut off valve(s), safe zone location and maps, containment and mitigation procedures, accountability procedures before, during and after.
In preparing a contingency plan, notification, access or ability to obtain important or critical data, staff and response personnel arrangements need to be addressed and in place. The following is an example of emergency responders and other vital personnel that may be required to fulfill your contingency plan.
Creating a company contingency plan will be time consuming and pull numerous resources. However, the end results will be worth it with the knowledgeable and prepared personnel.
Tips in starting a contingency plan.
• Decide who the lead for contingency planning is. (Usually Quality Assurance Quality Control, Health & Safety and Risk Management departments are best suited to fill this role.
• A contingency plan is a Federal, State or Local requirement for many Companies. It is a good idea to research and document your industry requirements for guidance while drafting your plans.
• Figure out and list all areas to be addressed by your contingency plan.
• Provide the list to each department it applies to, to review and communicate what is important and critical in each department, any policies or procedures already in place, issues and wareness, as well as prevention plans.
Test Your Contingency Plan
It is very important to test your contingency plan to check for critical errors and flaws. The idea for testing your contingency plan is to catch and repair errors before they happen in the critical time. Each department should test another departments plan. This will be truly beneficial in testing all areas and provide a better insight for any questions, additions or corrections that need to be addressed.
Make sure to contact all emergency response personnel and test for accurate contact information, data, and accessibility. (Announce that this is a test and not a live response request)
Final draft and completion
Once you’ve completed testing and making any adjustments, provide a final draft to all parties involved for final proofing, editing and comments. Save as a hard copy and an electronic copy. One or more copies should be available in each department and accessible to all employees at all times.
Check out further assistance on contingency planning or on the requirements specific to your company and industry.

Omni Hotels & Resorts has reported that point-of-sale systems at some of its properties were hit by malware targeting payment card information.
The attack on the systems of the luxury hotel chain follows similar breaches of point-of-sale systems at various hotels and retailers like Hyatt Hotels, Target, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide and Hilton Worldwide Holdings.
Omni in Dallas, Texas, said in a statement Friday that on May 30 this year, it discovered it was hit by malware attacks on its network, affecting specific POS systems on-site at some of its properties. “The malware was designed to collect certain payment card information, including cardholder name, credit/debit card number, security code and expiration date,” Omni said. There isn’t evidence that other customer information, such as contact information, Social Security numbers or PINs, was compromised, it added.
[ Learn 12 tips for effectively presenting cybersecurity to the board and 6 steps for building a robust incident response plan. | Sign up for CSO newsletters. ]
The chain did not disclose how many of its 60 properties were affected and the likely number of cardholders that could have been affected. As there is no indication that reservation or select guest membership systems were affected, users were unlikely to be affected unless they physically presented their payment card at a POS system at one of the affected locations. The malware may have been in operation between Dec. 23 last year and June 14 this year, although most of the systems were affected during a shorter timeframe, according to the hotel.
The hotel chain, which offers hotels and resorts in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, could not be immediately reached for comment over the weekend for further details.
Omni said after discovering the malware attack, it had immediately hired IT investigation and security firms and has now contained the intrusion. It did not specify why it had delayed to inform customers.
Hackers have been using information stolen in the breach to make fraudulent purchases since late February, Andrei Barysevich, director of cybercrime research at Flashpoint, which worked with payment card issuers and payment processors to investigate the hack, told the Wall Street Journal. One hacker who went by the moniker JokerStash sold more than 50,000 payment card numbers related to the breach, Barysevich told WSJ.
[ Prepare to become a Certified Information Security Systems Professional with this comprehensive online course from PluralSight. Now offering a 10-day free trial! ]
Omni informed customers than even if they had used their cards at any of the affected properties of the hotel, they may not be affected by the issue. However, it advised users to in abundant caution review and monitor their card statements if they used it at an Omni Hotel between Dec. 23 and June 14.
Over a dozen types of malware were found last year that target point-of-sale systems, as cybercriminals redouble efforts to steal payment card information from retailers before new defenses are put in place, FireEye said in March.

Tax time is here again and that means two things: writing big checks to Uncle Sam and, of course, a new season of tax scams brought to you by industrious and persistent malware authors.
Americans feeling the rising panic of ensuring that they are squared up with the federal government before April 15 are searching for help online and downloading the financial statements they need for filing. The bad actors are counting on it and, as you read this, there's a high probability that somewhere in your inbox is a link to a scam attempting to collect sensitive information from you. The IRS has been warning people about some of the tax scams this season using its annual “Dirty Dozen” compilation of phishing and online scams.
Of the following scenarios, which do you think is more likely? Will you be phished by a dodgy-looking IRS website, or will you get phished by a bogus financial website? Here at Zscaler, the ThreatLabZ research team has been monitoring such traffic and we've seen an increase in attempted generic phishing attacks posing as financial institutions. This trend makes sense because tax preparation usually means getting tax documents from several different financial institutions—your bank, your mortgage holder, your retirement and investment accounts, and so on. The following figure depicts financial and tax refund phishing events observed in the Zscaler cloud over the past two months.
An EIN (Employer Identification Number) is a Federal Tax ID number required by businesses or other entities to file taxes. Required persons/entities can apply for an EIN on the IRS website and can get it immediately at no cost. Scammers have been active out there, attempting to phish unsuspecting users of their information and money by advertising themselves as experts in filing for Tax IDs.
A Google search of “irs tax id” resulted in multiple scamming websites among the top ads.
Page 1: start.php requesting name and address
Page 2: claim_details.php displaying the information entered in start.php and fake amount
Page 3: details.php requesting detailed personal information and credit card details
The IRS has warned about a “Tax Transcript” email scam used by attackers to distribute malicious documents containing malware. ThreatLabZ has also noticed tax-themed malicious documents delivering Emotet and Nymiam malware, which are well-known Trojans used for stealing data and credentials, among other malicious functions.
The following is the report of a recent Nymiam malware sample observed in the Zscaler Cloud Sandbox and delivered through a malicious URL: djaccounting[.]tax/wp-admin/98-14691361298-580222944834109973.zip
Every year during tax season, our researchers identify various kinds of phishing campaigns performing tax-related social engineering tactics in an attempt to collect sensitive information from unsuspecting users. You can read about some of the phishing campaigns that we observed during last year’s tax season here. The IRS has also been alerting tax filers about active tax scams and providing guidelines for safely filing taxes.
At ThreatLabZ, we have been actively monitoring the latest tax scam campaigns and providing protection for Zscaler customers.

Saturday, Black Hat USA opened in Las Vegas and will end on the same day Defcon begins making this week very important for cybersecurity professionals. The deluge of hacker happenings, from networking and groundbreaking research to new products and new hacks makes it a must for San Antonio security firms.
Larry Hurtado, CEO of Digital Defense Incorporated, estimates that 15-20 local firms will be present saying the week could represent a lot of business.
"There are definitely deals that are going to be won in and around Black Hat," says Hurtado.
Digital Defense is a sponsor of the event and Hurtado says he and other staff will be there reconnecting with the community as well as talking about their products.
John Dickson with Denim Group says the multiple conferences, private meetings and happy hours, make the week a blur.
"But it is also quite an efficiency play. Instead of flying all over the planet to meet with folks, they all come to one place for one week."
Nation state cyber security attacks and popular ransomware attacks like the recent New Petya attack will be big topics of conversation at the conferences.
Hundreds of vulnerabilities will be presented on devices and software like popular operating system, Windows 10. Dickson estimates there were 500 presentations last year between the two conferences, and far fewer than half applied to him or his business.
When it affects a tool they use, Dickson says that could mean lots of additional work as a result, but he is often surprised by his colleagues' discoveries and methods.
"That's why it's exciting because you kind of know, but you don't fully know till you get there. And there's that hubub and there's the human interactions between people in industry [asking] 'What are you seeing? What are you seeing?' and, you know, that's the part that's the fun part that doesn't get old."
Black Hat and Defcon have both been around for a long time. Black Hat turns 20 this year and Defcon holds its 25th conference. Both have grown from a few hundred to tens of thousands of participants, but the conferences have evolved in different ways.
Black Hat is the more corporate of the two, where business leaders go to make the big deals, and more mainstream security research is done. The program is sponsored hundreds of companies -- like Cisco, IBM, and Raytheon.
Defcon is known for its irreverence.
"I don't take a computer. I don't use any ATMs while I am there. I turn my phones WiFi off," says Jungle Disk CEO, Bret Piatt explaining that pranks are the norm at Defcon.
Skimmers have been installed on the ATMs to steal credit card numbers. Fake public WiFi hotspots have been posted, and other methods have been employed to steal and publicly embarrass Defcon goers on a wall showing people's private login credentials.
Both conferences will be monitored closely for new vulnerabilities though.
"We'll absolutely be paying attention, says Piatt. Despite his team not traveling to the conferences this year, they will be watching Twitter for potential announcements impacting their work.
"If a new category of attack comes out against something that we're doing in our infrastructure to secure our customers today, we have to be sure we are staying on top of that," he says.

In our third issue of our blog series on HIPAA compliance, we look deeper into the level of encryption security required by HIPAA. You can read the second installment about the OCR’s Phase 2 audit program and it’s implications for cloud services users here and our first installment about the importance of risk management to ensure compliance here.
A couple of years ago when we were interviewing clients about security features, we realized that encryption technology had very low awareness. Many people didn’t really know what it was or how it worked. How the world has changed!
Encryption is making news
There has been a huge focus on the value and tradeoffs of using strong encryption. Just think about all the debate and media attention around Apple’s iPhone encryption and FBI requests for access to encrypted data.
Now, we’ve seen the first (to my knowledge) accusations and charges by the FTC about misleading encryptions claims by a software provider.
HIPAA compliance and “industry standard” encryption
Earlier this year, a dental software provider was fined for falsely advertising their level of encryption as “industry-standard” to protect patient data as required by HIPAA.
The FTC investigation alleged that the encryption was not, in fact, “industry-standard” Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), in accordance with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recommendations for HIPAA. And that resulted in the vendor settling the case for $250,000.
Now that you know what to look for, make sure your encryption solution meets the strong standard that NIST recommends. Don’t fail your next HIPAA audit because your encryption isn’t good enough!
If you’re in the market for HIPAA compliant cloud IT services, you might consider Intermedia. We have put together a comprehensive package of IT services with powerful security and reliability baked right in. If you have any questions, feel free to call our experts at 800-379-7729.

This blog summarizes Principal Adversary Hunter Joe Slowik’s whitepaper, ‘Spyware Stealer Locker Wiper: LockerGoga Revisited’. You can download the whitepaper here.
LockerGoga ransomware severely impacted the Norwegian metals giant, Norsk Hydro, and provides a blueprint for malicious entities to weaponize ransomware variants for disruptive purposes. The Norsk Hydro event incorporated unique disruptive characteristics calling into question whether the attackers ever intended to decrypt systems after infection. Insufficient data exists to adequately disposition Norsk Hydro as a state-sponsored disruption event instead of a financially motivated criminal exercise. Ransomware has destructive capability, and repurposed ransomware may allow for nation-states to hide behind criminal activity and prevent victims from reporting incidents.
LockerGoga first emerged in January 2019 with a ransomware event at French engineering company Altran Technologies.
Instead of introducing a self-propagating file into the network, the Altran incident involved an extensive, interactive breach by an unknown entity leveraging publicly and commercially available tools, such as Metasploit, PowerShell Empire, Cobalt Strike, and PSExec, to move laterally through the network. LockerGoga encrypts all files outside Program Files and operating system directories. Attackers can hold an entire network hostage, negotiating for decryption of the entire victim space, rather than providing per-host decryption instructions through a set price and reference to a Bitcoin or related cryptocurrency wallet.
Following events at Altran, there were no recorded or public sightings of LockerGoga until 19 March 2019 when Norwegian power and aluminum company, Norsk Hydro, faced a crippling cyberattack. Norsk Hydro was able to resume reduced operations by placing impacted industrial and production systems in manual operations mode. Reporting from the Norwegian CERT indicated LockerGoga execution was enabled by a widespread compromise of Norsk Hydro’s Windows Active Directory (AD) instance. Unknown entities managed to spoof legitimate communication with a Norsk Hydro customer and used this to deliver a malicious attachment matching expected communication with Norsk Hydro itself. Multiple versions of LockerGoga may have been active in the Hydro environment simultaneously, including variants similar to the previous types performing encrypt-only operations. The attack itself took place the day after Hydro announced its existing CEO was stepping down to be replaced by an internal candidate. Norwegian reporting indicated that multiple Norwegian companies were targeted by the same entity responsible for the Hydro event, and that these entities were able to thwart the attackers based on quick information sharing from Norsk Hydro with Norwegian authorities.
Approximately one month after the Norsk Hydro event, indications emerged that LockerGoga intrusions might be tied to a single entity, FireEye-designated FIN6, also responsible for some Ryuk ransomware events. Examination indicates the link to FIN6 appears to be a replication or extension of previously cited work surrounding criminal activity deploying LockerGoga and Ryuk by the French CERT. Reports also exclusively cover LockerGoga variants performing encryption-only operations, instead of the more disruptive variant at Norsk Hydro. One possibility behind LockerGoga’s sudden rise and equally sudden disappearance is that the entity behind the malware simply evolved or modified capabilities, especially after a very high-profile event such as Norsk Hydro. While there are superficial similarities between the malware families, and they have been referenced together in public alerts on ransomware activity, available evidence supports only a tangential connection at best between the two.
From a propagation standpoint, ransomware authors and those deploying malware in many cases shifted network compromise from the use of self-spreading tools to more deliberate, interactive compromise of victim environments. This trend is observed in the “big game hunting” type of intrusions associated with Ryuk, LockerGoga, and MegaCortex (among others), where attackers compromise the network then use the resulting access to seed ransomware for future coordinated execution. The shift from per-host victim encryption to per-network encryption schemas where entire organizations are impacted provides a means to achieve widespread disruption without having to “fake” the existence of a decryption mechanism.
Malware is a tool to obtain an objective, and when combined with concerns over attribution (and potential retaliation), an attack that is minimally complex while avoiding assignment of blame can be effective in achieving an attacker’s goals. The degree of alterations can be relatively minimal, requiring alterations to encrypt or disable systems (such as NotPetya’s MBR/MFT capability, or the Norsk Hydro LockerGoga variant’s forced reboot after disabling network connectivity and changing credentials) to achieve disruptive goals. As campaigns become more harmful and more brazen, governments are increasingly willing to publicly condemn attackers and impose a degree of cost on entities. By providing a means to not only obfuscate attribution but to redirect blame to likely criminal elements, a ransomware-as-disruptor pattern is ideally placed to enable actions in locations such as the U.S. or Europe while avoiding likely consequences.
Organizations may publicly declare willingness to work with governmental partners, but when such cooperation comes with potential risks of leaks, disclosures, or impacts to reputation, the cooperation may be very shallow or effectively non-existent. Pharmaceutical giant Merck, food products manufacturer Mondelez, and other entities attempted to recoup losses via insurance policies which included coverage for cyber events. All claims were denied due to “act of war” provisions in the policies exempting such actions from coverage. In NotPetya-related cases, information enabled insurance companies to invoke war exemptions in policies derived from government reporting and condemnation of the event as a Russia-directed effort. In this environment, if a company has even the slightest thought that circumstances were brought about by a possible state-sponsored attack, financial incentives would argue for sharing as little technical and related information as possible that could be used to make such a case of state-sponsored attribution public. Incentives due to financial penalties or losses means a potential state-sponsored or directed actor has significant space to operate directly in view of government authorities (or commercial security vendors) charged with safeguarding entities under their control or protection.
While insufficient evidence exists to definitively determine that the Norsk Hydro event was truly a disruptive attack instead of another (if spectacular) ransomware event, details showcase items that forecast potential developments in the field of cyberwarfare. The combination of a modification of existing ransomware, increased disruptive impacts from such malware, and targeting and timing specification provide a blueprint for how a state-directed adversary could utilize criminal tooling to execute deniable, but effective, disruptive operations.

that love lifted my sorrow and expunged it.
If it had been a shadow of my own attained virtues, I would have had sorrow.
Love,and the underlying factor- vulnerability- led me to have that ability.
To soar above the clouds of distress, and relish the moment.
Love is when two people embrace their vulnerability to one another simultaneously.
You can feel the disconnect when it is just one and not the other. This feels like love for that one going into it, but the result is rather just awkward disconnect.
Your words sing to my heart, Allison. Thank you for this post. It is beautiful and raw.
You are not alone. Do not give up, for you are a beautiful butterfly. Let these words be your cocoon and when the time is right, you will spread your wings and bliss will fill the day when the awkward disconnect becomes that something you've been longing for all the meanwhile.

You can download free ant-virus programs coming from various websites, but they incorporate some important cons compared to paid out antivirus applications. These courses usually shortage important reliability features and so are often poorly designed. Also, these types of free programs may only deliver limited cover and don’t offer phone or live chat support. So , when you’re looking for a reliable antivirus system for your computer system, it is best to buy it.
Antivirus programs secure your computer coming from new hazards by stopping and discovering malicious applications. They also job to remove existing malware, and keep new threats from getting a foothold on your computer. Free anti virus programs generally offer current malware safeguard, while some no cost versions will be more effective at fighting against malware-hosting websites and phishing sites. A lot of free anti-virus programs actually rival many paid malware programs, so it’s worth testing out several of them prior to seeking the one listen up for you.
Totally free antivirus computer software typically will not offer any kind of fancy features, which means you refuses to review of avg vpn need to spend hours researching the features and capabilities of each program. It’s a great choice for people on a tight budget who don’t need to have a high-end ant-virus program. You will need to choose one depending on your needs and budget, but you should always have one main on your computer.
When free antiviruses do offer very good protection against cyber-security threats, there are several constraints. Even the greatest ones simply cannot protect you from each and every one cybersecurity dangers. Some of the best kinds don’t present real-time coverage, while others shortage extra features and web rights. Bitdefender and Panda provide free types of their high grade versions, nonetheless don’t anticipate to get all of the features of the premium types. In addition, free variants tend to have a small monthly usage.

When we last left our heroes, they had de-obfuscated some JavaScript and downloaded a malware binary file named 'bin.exe'.
As you might have guessed, this binary was packed in order to make detecting its contents more difficult. I ran it through PEiD to determine what packer was used:
At this point, I don't even bother trying to unpack it. Instead, I try to load it in the GenOEP and ScanEP PEiD plugins and then I try to open it in OllyDbg. They all fail. Now I start to fear that I'm doomed to repeat past frustrations. But, what the hell, I'll try and unpack it anyway:
That was lucky. It can't be this easy. You may have noticed that the file in that screen shot is svhost32.exe, not bin.exe. This is because I was playing with it, trying to get it to run in SysAnalyzer. Since the VBScript dropper saves the file as svhost32.exe, I thought that might be worth a try. Anyway, to make sure there aren't more layers of packing going on here, I take another whack at it with PEiD:
I didn't see that coming, but I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth. So now we should be able to do stuff like launch it in SysAnalyzer or OllyDbg. Sure enough, it runs from SysAnalyzer and we get the goodies:
Once it's running with SysAnalyzer, we can get the scoop. It uses AutoItv3 to download itself again as svhost.exe, modifies a mess of registry keys to run at start up as well as hijack Explorer and IE startup pages, presumably to drive up ad hits for the distributor.
A quick Google search, and we have a name for it: Sohanad. So it's not new malware, really, just slightly modified from the original so as to get by more AV scanners. I wonder how many:
The packed executable that we downloaded is detected by 13/31 AV products used by VirusTotal. Just for kicks, what happens if we try the unpacked file from earlier:
Ugh. Only 5/31 detect it now, when it's not obfuscated. The irony is overwhelming. Quick, somebody in the AV R&D field write a paper on using un-obfuscated code as a means of bypassing AV detection. This is hot!
Lastly, I contacted McAfee for an EXTRA.DAT file for both the packed and unpacked binaries and notified SANS ISC of the hacked web site with the dropper as well as the site hosting the binary.
I'd like to say, if you do run into sites hosting malware, the handlers at ISC are a great resource for coordinating response and clean-up. In this case, the hacked site was cleaned up and the malicious site was taken down within a day of my contacting ISC. They contacted the responsible parties and got it done. Doing this by yourself is hard and annoying work, and I am grateful to the ISC folks that they're willing to let us offload this stuff to them. So when you're out and about at conferences this summer and you see any of the ISC handlers, remember to thank them and maybe buy them a beer or something.

“Dutch industrialist Jacques Marken (1845-1906) coined of the term “social engineering” and “social engineer” in the 1890s, a calling aimed at improving what is amiss in the social world.” “In engineering, social engineering is the art, pure and applied, of the construction, design, and building of a given society based on established physical science principles.”
This concept, related to data processing security, is heavily promoted in the search engines. Social engineering, as a discipline to manage, manipulate and change society, has a bitter after taste. Therefore, it is a hush topic that the criminal usury cabal would like to be wiped out from the common dictionaries.
“Social engineering is the art of manipulating people so they give up confidential information. The types of information these criminals are seeking can vary, but when individuals are targeted the criminals are usually trying to trick you into giving them your passwords or bank information, or access your computer to secretly install malicious software–that will give them access to your passwords and bank information as well as giving them control over your computer.”
“Having federal officials, whether judges, bureaucrats, or congressmen, impose a new definition of marriage on the people is an act of social engineering profoundly hostile to liberty.” Ron Paul “Government has ceased to mean upholding and reinforcing the traditional rights and morals of the governed; it now means compulsion in the service of social engineering.” Joseph Sobran

Data violations are so widespread nowadays that people have begun neglecting the records. However, some crucial violations grab everyone’s notice. OnePlus’ recent data breach is such an occurrence that disturbed a lot of people.
According to the Economic Times, India’s cybersecurity business, CERT-In, published an advisory for OnePlus clients in India urging them to alter their account passwords. The advisory declared that less than 3000 Indian OnePlus users were harmed during this break.
The cybersecurity agency said, “The kind of data given such as name, address, email can be used to serve as a victim and gain access to other accounts. Even though OnePlus has said that password data was not obtained, users still urged to replace their passwords with a strong password.”
The report further stated that the users might get spam and phishing emails in the following days. It has also advised users not to open attachments and recommended not to click on any URL links included in these emails.
This is not the first point when we hear about a data breach as the company had suffered a data security breach in 2018 as well, where over 40,000 customers were harmed.

The coronavirus has forced the people of this planet to adjust forcibly and make way to a new normal—closing businesses and facilitating the downfall of employment rates all over the globe. People have adapted to specific quarantine protocols and indoor routines to prevent any further spread of the virus, or in a more straightforward perspective, trying to stay alive. For some businesses, online selling has become the perfect avenue to reach out to customers to advertise and sell their products. Canada’s Fitness Depot, the country’s largest fitness equipment retailer, saw that people have been adjusting and working out indoors.
With almost half the population relying on the internet to order food, purchase fitness equipment, and all sorts of other merchandise to cope with and satisfy their indoor requirements. Fitness Depot stepped up and aggressively made sales via its online store. Their sales saw a massive jump in profits and have continued their progress despite the current pandemic.
Unfortunately for Fitness Depot, it seems all good things must come to an end, figuratively speaking. A recent discovery threw the company off balance. They were being hacked since February, and the actual data breach was seen and reported just last May, almost the end of the month too.
According to security researchers who did the initial investigation, the hackers planted malicious forms on the company’s official website, paving the way for their subsequent attacks. The injected forms went on to replicate their official website’s entire environment, including their registration, payment, and checkout pages. The attack led to Fitness Depot’s customers unknowingly providing their personal and account information on the website, without any sort of indication that the form is redirecting it to the hackers.
The security researchers said that the attack has all the makings of a Magecart-style intrusion. From accounts and credit card skimming up to the redirection process, these were all engineered to steal and collect personal information.
The entire stealth operation ran for over 3-months straight before the security researchers discovered it. Fitness Depot immediately shut its website down, including its primary network as the first-level precaution.
With this alarming development, Fitness Depot, together with the investigators, points their blame towards the ISP or Internet Service Provider. Their ISP failed to enable the antivirus, thereby allowing the intrusion altogether. The lapse remains to be debated by the experts as the researchers are still investigating, and what’s more important is to assess the damage against Fitness Depot and its customers.
Fitness Depot has already released a statement and immediately sent out notifications to its customers regarding the data breach.
Additional advisories for data protection was given to their clients to track and prevent any further incidences.
As of this writing, there is no concrete evidence that would indicate that the hackers have gone off with or exposed their customers’ personal and account information. Customers are advised to report any suspected indications of cyber or identity theft to the local authorities immediately.

Let’s say you are the CISO or IT security lead of your organization, and your incident response program needs an uplift. After making a compelling business case to management for investment, your budget has been approved and expanded. With your newfound wealth, you focus on acquiring technology that will improve your monitoring, detection and analysis of data traffic.
Has the incident program really improved by the technology acquisition, or is the uplift merely cosmetic? If no other changes have been made to the program, a strong case can be made for the latter. Let’s take a look at why.
The Technology: Don’t Leave a Supercar Sitting in the Driveway
Contrary to the title of this piece, let us start with technology to illustrate the downstream impacts of investment gaps. Firstly, powerful technology is an important pillar of any incident response program. But do not be fooled: technology alone is not an impenetrable shield, and it requires support.
Ask yourself this: are you using cybersecurity technologies as a tool or as a crutch? If it is the former, your program likely also has knowledgeable people and well-defined processes supporting it. But if the program lacks the people and processes, technology is likely acting as a crutch whether you recognize it or not.
Automation can take you a long way, but even that requires people and processes to run. What you want to avoid is having the equivalent of an exotic supercar sitting in the driveway. Sure, it may be mesmerizing to look at, but don’t you want to drive it as it was meant to be driven? If you do not know how to get the thing out of first gear, at best it is an expensive and high-maintenance compact car. At worst, it’s an expensive accident waiting to happen.
This is where people and processes come in.
The People: Your Most Critical Asset
If the brain trust decides to invest in a race car, they better also invest in race car drivers, pit crews, engineers, analysts, researchers and those other roles required to win the race. And it’s not a stretch to suggest that incident response is a race — a kind of daily 24 Hours of Le Mans during peacetime meets F1 madhouse during an incident.
A recent IBM-commissioned study found that the first 72 hours of response is critical to taming the chaos of an incident. Pointing out the obvious: people are involved, and the human factor will always be the beginning, middle and end of every incident. You need people to:
Take care of the aforementioned blind spots and pain points.
Technologies cannot do these things, which is what makes a day in the life of an incident responder so interesting. Like a race car, they can go from 0 to 100 mph in a heartbeat once the incident hits. But during peacetime, incident responders are boots on the ground that inform the requirements and adjustments to the program. Take the following questions, for example:
Incident response processes — including associated policies, plans and playbooks — are both glue and lubricant for the incident response program. Even the best people have mishaps, which is why these processes need to be formalized.
As incidents continue to be stressful and increasingly impact the health of responders, the study above indicates that well-made processes are saviors (especially for ransomware cases). Formalized processes allow you to:
Recent incidents have shown that severe data loss can happen by simple configuration errors, like leaving the door wide open on public-facing assets. Therefore, the “preparation” phase of the lifecycle is not just about incident responders, but rather about analysts, architects, engineers and decision-makers all working in tandem. If there are no processes to facilitate this, decisions are made in silos, adding blind spots.
Similarly, during a crisis, you need to have pre-existing processes in place for roles, responsibilities, interactions, escalations, activations and communications to work well.
The Right Fit Trifecta
Time to bring this full circle. Now we have identified the three key pillars of an incident response program, the question likely on most minds is: where do I invest?
The answer is everywhere. It is the level of investment in each pillar that becomes trickier to determine. The answer to that question depends on your risk tolerance.
Nothing is stopping you if you want to throw all your eggs into the technology basket, but take a moment to appreciate the larger picture. Maybe the solution isn’t having a supercar, but instead having an everyday car that you know how to drive well and can maintain yourself to some degree. Otherwise, you may find yourself leaning on the mechanic (aka consultants and third parties) more than you want.
Finally, the lesson is that you need some level of balanced investment in all three pillars. Two short legs and one long one don’t make for an effective — or even usable — stool.

In this essay I will examine both sides of the argument, and explain why I personally feel that cyber crimes cannot be prosecuted as actual crimes. Preview text: Bangladesh enacted its cyber Crime Act in 2004, which provides for stringent punishment for on-line criminal.

Then subsection (2) shows that a service provider shall, at the request of the relevant authority referred to in subsection (I) of this section or any law enforcement agency. In the old days only conventional crime was discussed, which refers to those traditional, illegal behaviors that most people think of as crime. This section also talks about any device designed to overcome security measures in any computer for the purpose of committing an offence under this act.

Cybercrime - Term Paper
As we know that impersonation and identity theft is one of the most common forms of cybercrime in Nigeria.
Given the undesirable and often devastating impact of cybercrime on businesses around the world, and the worries raised by such activity in Nigeria, the calls for legal and, to some extent, political involvement in the fight against cybercrime have grown progressively. The fact that cyber crime is really only words on a computer screen makes the entire thing seem ridiculous.
Chapter 2 discusses the impact of cybercrime against Intellectual Property Rights in the evolution and creation of new intellectual property legislation.

By this, identity thieves and impersonators, pretend to be whom they are not in order to swindle their unwary victims. Despite this limitation, there are laws in existence that provide for circumstance construed to include cybercrimes and serve some purpose no matter how limited.

Mesh Market Report By Size, Business Opportunities and Competitive Analysis 2026 - As the IT sector flourishes, the call for enhancing network security surges exponentially. Rationally, the cybersecurity mesh could be easily deployed on all levels or at a single realm based on the requirement of an organization. Technically, there are multiple access points that need to be protected from potential attackers and hackers. The cyber defense strategy secures each device or node of the IT network independently with its own perimeter around each access point. With no concrete barriers to protect organization networks, firms are compelled to establish security fringes around the networks. Consequently, an urgency to secure company data is poised to facilitate newer developments in the global cybersecurity mesh market in the years to come.

You can only do this with Command Lines entries. NOTE: I had this issue with a Google's software_reporter. After I "allowed" it on several occasions, I sorted the Command Lines entries so I could find the related entries, and then simplified one of them with wildcards (*) replacing the unique characters with the wildcard. Then I deleted all the other entries from the Command Lines list, and the software reporter tool never raised its head again.
The Whitelist is uneditable (other than to delete), despite the fact that its header says "Whitelist Editor".

Does the temp directory have the same name every time? Because if you have the licensed version of VS, you can enable custom folders, and then you should leave everything at default settings except for that particular temp folder, which you untick. This will allow all processes to launch from that folder.
After you get that step taken care of, there may or may not be a command line that runs, which you can deal with accordingly.
As most of you guys know… I am a full time IT consultant, and I also perform pretty much every task that is required to keep VoodooShield up and running. We have experienced unprecedented growth the last few months, and I no longer able to keep up with everything. So I have been looking into a few different options, such as raising a little money and going full time with VS, and hire a few people full time as well.
Another option is to expand our marketing campaign a little more, and if all goes well, we will not have to raise any money and I will still be able to go full time with VS. There are other options as well that I am considering.
I see there are a few bugs that I still need to work out and several emails, posts and pms I need to respond to… but there are simply not enough hours in the day, but I am going to get to them asap, sorry for the delay.

Yes we do. Here is how it works. You need to set it up as explained in below. Then on, every time you login, you will be asked to use your phone and enter a code from your authenticator. This gives you a high level of security.
To activate your two factor authentication you must sign in the Store.
Then open the menu and select "My Account":
Next, you need to have one of the authenticators that we have listed, in your smart phone. Scan the code, and enter the number that you receive in the box. That is it.
From now one, every time you try to access any of KNiTO components (Studio, Interactive, Store, Reader, Billing etc) you will be asked to check your authenticator and enter the number again. This protects your account from abuse.
If you wish to remove the two factor authentication, you can go to "My Account" and remove the authenticator.

Pritts notes that BAs now must comply with many aspects of the HIPAA Privacy Rule as well. The beefed-up BA requirements come just in the nick of time, she says, because so many organizations are using the services of cloud vendors.
In a Feb. 28 educational session at RSA Conference 2013, Pritts noted that under the original HIPAA requirements, covered entities, such as hospitals and clinics, should have been imposing security requirements on their business associates through formal BA agreements. "Those requirements are now set out very clearly," she says. "Business associates have to follow the same security rules as [covered entities] do."
Pritts says that in most cases, BA agreements likely will have to be modified to more clearly spell out responsibilities under the HIPAA Omnibus Rule. The rule's BA provisions are timely and important, she says, because a growing number of organizations, especially smaller clinics, are turning to cloud computing providers as they launch electronic health records systems and apply for HITECH Act incentive payments. ONC writes the rules for the incentive program.
"Many major breaches have occurred at the business associate level," Pritts notes. In fact, the HHS Office for Civil Rights' "wall of shame" list of major health data breaches shows about 21 percent of have involved BAs.
"This is a trend that we believe will continue," Pritts predicts, because the storage of patient data is shifting to the cloud.
Responsibility
Consumer advocate Deven McGraw, who participated in an RSA Conference panel with Pritts, laments: "There is not crystal clarity in the new rule as to who is going to be responsible and liable when there's a problem."
McGraw, director of the health privacy project at the Center for Democracy and Technology, also chairs the Privacy and Security Tiger Team that advises ONC.
In passing the HITECH Act, which required the modifications to HIPAA, "Congress expanded the possibilities for liability," she notes. "And there are not very clear lines drawn."
For example, if a covered entity is aware that a business associate is taking inadequate security precautions, it could be held responsible if the BA experiences a breach, McGraw points out.
"The covered entity is the one that has to notify the patients ... even if the breach occurred four entities downstream," she stresses. "So it will be a hit to the covered entity from a reputational standpoint."
McGraw predicts that federal regulators will "study whose behavior is responsible for the breach" and investigate to determine "whether the covered entity was asleep at the wheel" and failed to monitor a business associate's security."
The moral of the story? You can't afford to be asleep at the wheel.
The time has come to go far beyond relying on business associate agreements and carefully scrutinize vendor partners' policies and procedures for safeguarding patient information. Otherwise, your organization could face the risk of hefty fines if a BA experiences a breach.
Inadequate Progress
At the conference, McGraw offered a powerful sermon about the need for healthcare organizations to take privacy and security far more seriously.
"We're happy to report improvements, but at the same time, it's quite an uphill battle in healthcare to ensure adoption of baseline security ... and get a cultural acceptance of the importance of data security," she says.
Recent federal settlements stemming from breach investigations have "shown an absence of the recognition of privacy and security as a priority and a lack of attention being paid to such security basics as a risk assessment," she notes.
If you need more ammunition for investments in security at your organization, remember this: The HIPAA Omnibus Rule calls for a ramping up of enforcement and heftier penalties for violations. And the next wave of federal audits for HIPAA compliance is on the horizon.
Are we at a turning point for data privacy and security in healthcare? Sure feels like it to me.

Look again at the link in the email. This is what you see if you hold your pointer over the link:
Instead of visiting a site in Nigeria you'll in fact be redirected to a web site in Hong Kong (.hk) which then redirects to a site based in Slovenia.
Finally you reach a login screen which is a fairly plausible facsimile of the real FBN site.
If you're naive enough you'll enter your banking sign-on details here.
Very smartly the following screen demands even more personal details, all of them the sort of things you'll use to prove your identity to your bank and which can be used to steal your online identity.

The bizarre story of former DNC data specialist Imran Awan, and his possible role in the massive data breach that exposed hundreds of sensitive Democratic emails during the summer of 2016, continues to gnaw at conservatives. They want answers. And they expect a full court media press looking into the issue from all angles, similar to the manner in which the press has chased every lead (real and imagined) in the Russian hacking story.
Such hopes from the press are unlikely to be fulfilled.
But what do we know about this story? This USA Today piece gives us an overview:
We have an extremely highly-paid information technology technician and several of his family members working for many years with leading Congressional Democrats , including some on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. They collectively pulled down millions of dollars since the early 2000s.
Awan’s main employer was the head of the DNC at the time of a major computer security breach. Awan and his family were involved in a series of sketchy financial transactions, and have been implicated in misuse of the data to which they had access, which includes personal emails and even the possibility of classified information. In February 2017, members of the Awan ring were named by House security services as suspects in a criminal investigation involving “serious, potentially illegal, violations on the House IT network.”
At this time, Awan’s wife Alvi left the country carrying $12,400 in cash, after Imran wired $283,000 to Pakistan pretending to be Alvi. In the course of the criminal investigation, a laptop computer was discovered hidden in the Rayburn House Office Building along with other stolen IT equipment, and Wasserman Shultz personally threatened the chief of the U.S. Capitol Police with “consequences” if it was examined.
If this is just a case about alleged financial crime , insurance fraud, no-show jobs, home loan violations, intimidation and the like, then fine. Let justice be done. But given the fact that Awan and his family were at the center of the Democratic IT world, you don’t have to be an Islamophobe or a fake news peddler to have some valid questions.
This all could be a simple criminal matter. It might be something much bigger. But with Democrats in defiant denial, if this Debbie Wasserman Schultz interview is any indication, the press on a collective coffe break, and not much else moving to gather and publish facts about the case, we are left with speculation and doubt.
One would think that the champions of transparency , and the paladins of truth would be all over this story. They aren't. And that tells us a great deal about them, their priorities, and their principles. The Awan story is messy, and worst of all (for the press), it involves Democrats. And the press just isn't interested in investigating members of its own ideological tribe.

Under the guise of providing Android users with a more secure way to chat, hackers are now using a fake chat app to install spyware on vulnerable smartphones.
As reported by BleepingComputer, a fake Android app called ‘SafeChat’ is making the rounds online by claiming to be one of the best encrypted messaging apps. However, instead of offering end-to-end encrypted chats, the app is actually spyware capable of stealing call logs, text messages and users’ GPS locations from infected smartphones.
SafeChat was first discovered by researchers at the Singapore-based cybersecurity firm CYFIRMA who detailed their findings in a new report. According to the firm, the Indian advanced persistent threat (APT) hacking group ‘Bahamut’ is behind this new campaign. However, CYFIRMA’s security researchers have also found several similarities with another Indian state-sponsored threat group called ‘DoNoT APT’ which in the past, was found uploading fake chat apps that also acted as spyware to the Google Play Store.
The Bahamut group has a history of creating malicious apps and at the end of last year, it was found distributing fake VPN apps which also had extensive spyware capabilities.
Stealing data from other chat apps
In its report on the matter, CYFIRMA doesn’t go into too many details on how Safe Chat is currently being distributed but it does explain that users in South Asia are being targeted by the hackers behind this campaign. Like with other malicious apps though, they could easily expand their operation and begin targeting users in the U.S. and Europe.
What we do know though is that Safe Chat has a convincing interface that makes it appear like a real encrypted messaging app. New users are also taken through a registration process that helps add credibility to what is essentially spyware.
Just like other malicious Android apps, during installation, Safe Chat requests that users give the app access to the operating system’s Accessibility Services which are then abused to automatically grant even more permissions to the spyware. These are what allow it to access the contacts, text messages, call logs, storage and GPS location data from infected smartphones.
By examining Safe Chat’s Android Manifest file, CYFIRMA discovered that Safe Chat is designed to interact with any other chat apps installed on a compromised device including Telegram, Signal, WhatsApp, Viber and Facebook Messenger. This allows the spyware to steal data from them which is then sent back to a command and control (C&C) server operated by the hackers behind this campaign.
During campaigns like the one described above, hackers will often suggest that potential victims install a new chat app in order to move their conversation to a platform that is more secure. Anytime someone you don’t know or don’t know that well tries to persuade you to install new software or a new app on your phone, this is a major red flag and something that you should avoid at all costs. This is especially true if they send you a link to download and sideload the app instead of installing it from an official app store like the Play Store, Amazon App Store or the Samsung Galaxy Store.
At the same time, you should be using one of the best Android antivirus apps to protect your smartphone from malicious apps and spyware. If you’re on a tight budget, Google Play Protect also scans all of your existing apps and any new ones you download for malware but this free app that ships with most Android phones doesn’t have the same functionality and features that paid Android antivirus apps do.
Tricking unsuspecting users into downloading new apps that claim to be safer than more well-established apps is a common trick used by hackers. However, it’s up to you to remain vigilant and avoid falling for their tricks.

Many enterprises consider their configuration management database (CMDB) as the authoritative inventory of all their IT assets. However many CMDBs are not up to date either because: 1) the team in charge of the CMDB doesn’t have the resources/time to regularly update it, and/or 2) the discovery tools included with the CMDB, while good enough for collecting an initial inventory, are not intended to be constantly scanning the enterprise for new assets and running services.

Analytics. Mikel Lindsaar, CEO and Founder of StoreConnect, has the solution for small- to mid-size e-Commerce businesses in the US where they can own their own data, be GDPR compliant and compete globally with the Goliath e-Commerce companies … in essence leveling the playing field.
Millions of European businesses are poised to be affected by the banning of Google Analytics, resulting in several possible scenarios. The first is a total ban of Google Analytics in Europe, leaving American companies unable to operate in the EU. Another possibility is United States-based tech companies switch to storing and consolidating data in Europe to ensure they’re compliant with GDPR.
But that goes against the CLOUD Act that requires American service providers be able to provide U.S. authorities with any domestic or international data, when asked, that is stored in their servers. A third option is EU businesses find an alternative to Google Analytics, while a final possibility is enforcement of the Innovation and Choice Online Act that targets big tech companies for potential antitrust and consumer choice violations.

It’s true, the blogsphere (blogosphere?) for security news is smaller and a bit more watered-down these days. At least stuff that is interesting enough to link to. I’ve also found my own time for such reading to be smaller than usual lately. Normally I don’t plug sources, but I admit when I have a moment to catch up on 2 weeks’ of news, I typically start with the Infosecnews mailing list emails that build up. Older posts can also be perused at seclists.org’s archive.
Part of the reason for this plug is to cover my butt a bit and share the love. Sometimes when I make a mention of news elsewhere I may forget to say how I got pointed over there. When I can, I try to share that bit, but more often than not my forgotten sources are Twitter (thank you lack of search due to shortened URLs) and ISN.

TO help the government in its fight against terrorism and cybercrime, the Cybercon Asian 2018 was held to raise awareness on how to protect oneself against cyber-attacks in the Internet.
Led by the by Worldtech Information Solutions Inc., cyber experts from the Philippines, Hong Kong and China gave their insights on the prevalent problems in the internet in the country like cyberpornography, hacking and terrorism.
“Cybersecurity is everybody’s responsibility. The major concern is to teach the public the reality of the cybercrime and the threat that’s in the internet in the company and the home,” Robert Arquiza, chief executive officer if the Worldtech Information Solutions Inc., said.
Worldtech is partners with the Philippine National Police (PNP), National Bureau of Investigation and other law enforcement agencies when it comes to crime in the cyberspace.
“The government is running awareness programs in the community and we are also in participation to pursue the criminals who are doing this cyberpornography,” Arquiza said.
Jet Zheng, senior digital forensics of Meiya Pico, an information security products and service provider in China, said that the situations there and in the Philippines are similar.
“We’re all fighting more crimes involving digital data. Our products are also quite fit to solve the problems here in the Philippines,” Zheng said.
Products like an anti-drone gear was also showcased, which was used by government troops against Maute fighters during the Marawi siege when unwanted drones monitored army positions.
The anti-drone gear ensures airspace safety from unwanted drones especially in a battle zones and other key places.
Ricky Fan, a computer forensic consultant of DataExpert Technology in Hongkong, said that with faster technology, there is a faster chance of prosecuting cyber criminals.
“We want to push up the technology in the Philippines. With these equipment, you can get evidence faster and there is faster prosecution of suspects caught in the crime scenes,” Fan said. (JOB)

Phishing is one of the most common online scams according to Netsafe NZ.
Phishing is when someone sends you an email or text message pretending to be a real company or government agency. The aim of the cyber criminal is to trick individuals to give away personal information, such as passwords or credit card numbers. Emails may ask for details with some urgency in order to speed up a response. For example, you may be asked to click on a link which asks you to log into your bank account. While these messages look like they are personal to you, they are usually being sent to thousands of people at one time.
Emails signed with a generic signature block, such as “Customer Service” rather than an individual’s name, title and other details.
The email address or domain name do not match the “from” name, for example the email purports to be from “John Smith” or “The Smith Company” but the email address bears no relationship, such as: phishingagogo@ theftonline.com,
Employees should not open suspicious links in emails, tweets, social media posts, online ads, messages or attachments, even if they think they know the source.
Before clicking any links, users should hover their mouse over the link to see if the link will lead to the correct destination - the website address underneath the link should show up. Some links may look genuine, but lead you to a different, possibly fake or scam, destination or result in the downloading of a virus or malware onto the computer and into the workplace network.
Whaling is a kind of phishing where hackers target the “big phish” – specifically managers and senior executives. These high-profile targets typically have access to more information and consequently the payoff may be bigger. Whaling can be used to try and fast track executive sign-off on a payment.
If, for example, an employee receives an email claiming to be from a manager asking for a payment to be made or to send personal information, they should not complete the request until it is confirmed as a genuine request.
Never bypass standard payment approval processes within your organisation in response to an unexpected email or phone call.
Employees should also be careful about how much information they provide over the phone to contacts they have not dealt with before. This information could be used to carry out phishing or whaling scams.
Cyber attacks happen to businesses of any size, in every industry. Our cyber insurance brokers help businesses identify and assess cyber risks, provide insurance advice, and arrange the most suitable cyber protection.
Get your cyber insurance sorted.

Supplies memory modules to Apple and PC makers.
The third-largest semiconductor company in the world, South Korea's SK Hynix, refused to comment on whether or not it has fallen victim to a ransomware attack that appears to have resulted in a breach of its corporate data.
Maze, which attacked chipmaker Maxilinear in June and logistics company Henning Harder in March, appeared to be behind the ransomware raid on SK Hynix.
An archive of approximately 600 megabytes was published by Maze, which said it represents five percent of the total amount of data the gang has exfiltrated.
A security researcher shared some of the data from the archive with iTnews which contained documents and emails that, among others, were addressed to the managing director of SK Hynix in Singapore.
Contacted about the ransomware attack, an SK Hynix spokesperson said the company had no comment on the issue.
It is not known at this stage the size of the ransom Maze is demanding and whether or not SK Hynix will pay up.
In recent times, Maze has hit large global conglomerates such as LG and Canon, along with other enterprises around the world.
SK Hynix makes dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and Flash memory chips, and is a supplier to Apple and PC makers.

A few hours ago, in my last Scam Alert, I warned you about the steemitfollowup(dot)ml phishing website. I invite you to read the post for full details on the phishing attempt.
I also updated my WarningBot to notify users about the threat, sending hundreds of warnings to users.
It wasn't long before the scammer reacted and registered a new domain, with (nearly) the same content.
Up to now, the scammer has already posted 346 comments to users.
I will add any account sending phishing links to the black list of my Warning-Bot and it will issue warnings with a link to this post, notifying users of the malicious activity of those accounts.

Missouri’s Cass Regional Medical Center was hit by a ransomware attack on July 9, prompting officials to shut down its EHR system to prevent further damage. Patient care was maintained during the attack, but trauma and stroke victims were diverted to ensure the best care. The hackers gained access to the system through a brute force attack on the remote desktop protocol (RDP), although it is unclear how much ransom was demanded. The hospital has since modified its systems to eliminate the risk, and other healthcare organizations are advised to implement stronger security controls.

Elon Musk, CEO of electric vehicle, energy storage device and solar panel manufacturer Tesla, based in Palo Alto, California, on Thursday said that Tesla was, indeed, the target of a shakedown scam revealed by the FBI (see: Elon Musk Says Tesla Saved From 'Serious' Ransom Attempt).
The FBI has charged Russian national Egor Igorevich Kriuchkov, 27, with being part of a gang that attempted to recruit a Tesla employee working at its Gigafactory near Reno, Nevada. Kriuchkov is accused of offering the employee $500,000, later raised to $1 million, to share particulars of Tesla's network to facilitate custom malware development and installation.
Here are eight takeaways from the case.
1. Revise Your Threat Model
"So who had Russian criminals paying an insider to install malware as part of your threat model?" asks Rob Joyce, the senior adviser for cybersecurity strategy to the director of the National Security Agency, via Twitter. "Be honest now."
Be honest now...
— Rob Joyce (@RGB_Lights) August 28, 2020
The case is a reminder that criminals - as well as nation states - have a variety of tools at their disposal, including blackmailing, coercing or bribing employees.
Last November, for example, the U.S. Department of Justice charged three men with perpetrating a campaign to infiltrate Twitter and spy on critics of the Saudi government. Instead of hacking Twitter, the Saudis allegedly just paid off two insiders to glean information they could use to track, kidnap or assassinate critics (see: 'Crypto' Scammers Weren't the First to Crack Twitter).
Tesla's relationship with its employees has not always appeared to be a happy one. Of course, not every employee who joins every company will be a fit.
In 2018, Tesla filed a lawsuit against Martin Tripp, a former process technician at the company's Gigafactory in Nevada, alleging that he "unlawfully hacked the company's confidential and trade secret information and transferred that information to third parties," and sought $1 million in damages. Tripp, however, told the BBC that he was seeking to highlight dangerous practices at the company and that he's a whistleblower whose reputation was being smeared.
The FBI's investigation into Kriuchkov, however, began after an unnamed Twitter employee, referred to in court documents as CHS1 - for "confidential human source" - reported to Tesla management that Kriuchkov had traveled to Reno in July, wined and dined the employee, then requested that he assist with a "special project."
3. Alert Law Enforcement
It's worth emphasizing that the Tesla employee felt empowered enough to go to senior management and reveal the recruitment effort. In addition, he also chose to work with the FBI after Tesla alerted it early this month.
Excerpt of affidavit written by FBI Special Agent Michael J. Hughes, who works out of the FBI's Reno field office and is currently assigned to conduct counterintelligence investigations.
Court documents the FBI submitted emphasize that the employee did not ask for anything in return for his cooperation. "CHS1 has not asked for and has not been offered any form of payment, including consideration regarding immigration or citizenship," according to an FBI affidavit, which says the employee was assisting the investigation "because of patriotism to the United States and a perceived obligation to victim company A," aka Tesla.
4. Gangs Target Many Victims
Tesla was allegedly not the first company to be targeted by Kriuchkov and his associates.
In a meeting recorded by the FBI, Kriuchkov allegedly told the Tesla employee when they met at a Reno restaurant on Aug. 17 that he'd already been involved in two prior shakedowns, outlining how the gang approached them.
"Kriuchkov said that victim companies usually negotiate with the group to pay less ransom money than the group initially requests, for example one company was ransomed at $6 million and ultimately paid $4 million," according to court documents. "He said only one company paid the full initial ransom," claiming that victims paid "because it is easier for the companies to pay the ransom than to fight the group."
During the course of their interactions, Kriuchkov told the employee that the Tesla malware attack had to be temporarily delayed because "the group was in the final stage of another project which was supposed to provide a large payout" that they needed to pay the employee, according to court documents.
5. The Cybercrime Ecosystem Is Alive and Well
In the bigger crime picture, security experts say this case demonstrates how proceeds paid by a victim to a crime gang - for example, in response to a ransomware attack - are then used by the crime gang to attack others, thus creating fresh victims (see: Please Don't Pay Ransoms, FBI Urges).
"This is what happens when you hand billions to ransomware groups," says Brett Callow, a threat analyst at security vendor Emsisoft. "If they can’t access a network via their usual methods, they can afford to simply buy their way in. Or try to."
6. Criminals Tap WhatsApp, Tor
Over the course of their meetings, Kriuchkov allegedly gave the employee a "burner" cellular telephone, downloaded the Tor browser onto it and then told him to use the Tor browser to open a bitcoin wallet and leave the phone in airplane mode until he received a message from "Kisa" via WhatsApp with a prearranged signal - "a smiley face emoji" - to know the plan would be moving forward.
The FBI was very particular about how the Tesla employee should attempt to receive proffered funds from the suspect, including not allowing him to set up the bitcoin wallet, but instead having the employee claim that he wanted to do it himself. "CHS1 was instructed by the FBI to prevent Kriuchkov from setting up a wallet so the FBI could set it up on behalf of CHS1, which would give the FBI access to the wallet."
Kriuchkov allegedly told the Tesla employee that his group had never paid the insiders they co-opted upfront, saying that they instead typically used an online escrow service called "Exploit."
On cybercrime forums, escrow "describes an arrangement where, after a deal has been agreed upon, the buyer sends their funds through to a neutral third party known as a 'guarantor,'" according to security firm Digital Shadows, which says these services often take a 3% to 10% cut of the money being moved.
"Only after the buyer has confirmed that the goods or services they receive from the seller meet their expectations or the deal’s agreed conditions will the guarantor release the money to the seller," it says. "The system is designed to reduce buyers’ and sellers’ chances of falling victim to a scam and ensure that everyone gets what they were expecting."
Based on the allegations contained in the criminal complaint, Kriuchkov didn't get what he was expecting from his trip to the U.S. If convicted of the charge filed against him, he faces up to five years in prison.
8. Beware of Potential Russian Intelligence Agency Crossover
What remains to be seen is if the arrested Russian national might reach a plea deal that leads to him sharing information with the FBI in return for the possibility of a reduced sentence.
Security experts say numerous Russian crime groups have government ties or can be required to assist intelligence services in return for their overlooking criminal behavior (see: Russia's Cybercrime Rule Reminder: Never Hack Russians).
"Given that certain ransomware groups are believed to act as contractors for the Russian government - Evil Corp, for example - Kriuchkov could potentially provide some very valuable intel," says Emsisoft's Callow.
Evil Corp. is the cybercrime gang behind the infamous Dridex malware, which has been tied to attacks against hundreds of banks across 40 countries (see: Two Russians Indicted Over $100M Dridex Malware Thefts).
In December 2019, the U.S. Treasury Department said in a statement that "in addition to his involvement in financially motivated cybercrime, the group’s leader, Maksim Yakubets, also provides direct assistance to the Russian government’s malicious cyber efforts, highlighting the Russian government’s enlistment of cybercriminals for its own malicious purposes."
From heightened risks to increased regulations, senior leaders at all levels are pressured to improve their organizations' risk management capabilities. But no one is showing them how - until now.
Learn the fundamentals of developing a risk management program from the man who wrote the book on the topic: Ron Ross, computer scientist for the National Institute of Standards and Technology. In an exclusive presentation, Ross, lead author of NIST Special Publication 800-37 - the bible of risk assessment and management - will share his unique insights on how to:

Users can sometimes approve MFA notifications on their device because they do not know whether it is their device authenticating or a hacker who has phished their credentials. Therefore, to help users know why they are being asked to accept authentication include additional details such as the application name, IP address and location in the MFA prompt. Apple includes the location and a map of the location in their own two-factor implementation.
Additionally, users should be notified with an email any time a new device is used to authenticate to their account.

According to Volexity, the threat research team has found the North Korean ‘Sharp-Tongue’ group to be either a part of or linked to the Kimsuky advanced persistent threat group.
The malware directly inspects and exfiltrates data from a Gmail account while the user is browsing it.
The threat works in the garb of a harmless extension. Cybersecurity firm Volexity has found the North Korean group of cyber attackers that are able to gain access to Gmail credentials even if the account has two-factor authentication activated.
To the unaware, two-factor authentication adds an additional layer of security over the standard username and password. Unlike previous extensions that try to steal user credentials, this one bypasses the need for stealing them entirely.
Now, there is some silver lining to this. The threat can only be deployed if the system has been compromised by some or the other means. However, the biggest challenge is that systems are not that difficult to infect — phishing, malware, and unpatched vulnerabilities all easily exist to make that happen.
Once a system is infected, the infection can install the extension using a malicious VBS script that replaces system preference files. Once that’s done and the extension is installed, it runs in the background and is almost impossible to detect.
Sadly, there’s nothing that will alert Google that a malicious login has taken place. Essentially, the threat allows the bad actors to read the emails as if they’re the user themselves.
According to cyber security firm Volexity, the threat research team has found the North Korean ‘SharpTongue’ group, which appears to be part of, or related to, the Kimsuky advanced persistent threat group, deploying malware called SHARPEXT that doesn’t need your Gmail login credentials at all.
Instead, it “directly inspects and exfiltrates data” from a Gmail account as the victim browses it. This quickly evolving threat, Volexity says it is already on version 3.0 according to the malware’s internal versioning, can steal email from both Gmail and AOL webmail accounts, and works across three browsers: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and a South Korean client called Whale.
How to stay safe from this vulnerability?
Volexity has a solution to detect and attack this vulnerability.
It recommends enabling and analysing PowerShell ScriptBlock logging as PowerShell plays a key role in the setup and installation of the malware.
It also asks users to review installed extensions regularly, especially those that you don’t recognise or are not available from the Chrome Web Store. It also highlights that this attack concerns the targeted user.

Whether a large-scale onslaught or a smaller, more targeted campaign, all successful phishing and email-based ransomware attacks are disruptive and damaging on some level. And the simple reality is that they rely on human error; in order for phishing attacks to succeed, someone, somewhere, needs to take the bait. Cybercriminals utilize social engineering techniques—some basic and some very sophisticated—to manipulate human emotions and trigger a response.
It can feel overwhelming sometimes given that we, as the targets, need to be right all the time while the attackers only need to be right once. But the good news is that small steps can amount to big strides when it comes to protecting data, devices, and systems at work and at home. Here are three simple, practical cybersecurity awareness training tips you can use to identify and avoid malicious emails:
“From” addresses, URLs, and embedded links can masquerade as things they aren’t. Do not take these items at face value (even if a name, logo, or other identifiers seem familiar and safe). On your PC, hover over — or “mouse over” — these pieces of content and examine the info that appears (you will often see the true destination of a web address in the bottom left of your browser window). On mobile devices, use a “long press” or “long click” and review the information in the pop-up window. If there appears to be a mismatch between what you expected to see and what is actually presented, steer clear.
The content or topic of a message might not be quite right or fully relevant to you. Be on alert if the tone of an email from a colleague, friend or relative seems inappropriate or just doesn't “sound like” them. Likewise, be sure to question receipt of an invoice or shipping notification that doesn’t make sense based on your ordering history. Thoroughly read what is written; don’t just skim past details.
Misspellings and poor grammar can be indicators that the email did not originate from a trusted source. This is particularly true with messages that appear to be from a well-known, well-established individual or organization.
In general, any unsolicited email — that is, any email that you were not explicitly expecting to receive — should be looked at carefully. But you should be particularly wary of any email that seems like it’s designed to trigger an emotional response — fear, surprise, excitement, concern — and that urges you to respond or act in some way (click a link, download a file, confirm/change a password, etc.).
Was I expecting this message? – If the answer is ‘no,’ ask more questions.
Does this email make sense? – If the tone doesn’t seem right or the information you’re being provided doesn’t make sense, it could very well be a phish.
Am I being pushed to act hastily or out of fear? – If you are, this is a major red flag.
Does this seem too good to be true? – If you can’t believe what you’re reading, it’s likely you’re reading a phish.
What if this is a phishing email? – This is a great question to ask yourself, because it can help you work through the things that could happen if you’re dealing with a phishing attack. Could you be downloading malware that would corrupt all your files? Could you be turning over a password or credit card number to a criminal? Could you be exposing your coworkers’ private information to a scammer?
#3 Verify, Verify, Verify
So nice, it’s worth saying thrice.
It’s critical to remember that, with phishing scams, things are never what they seem. The reality is that a message can look and even sound legitimate but still set off a warning bell. For example, an email that comes from a corporate IT address and tells you to download new security software can seem trustworthy; it appears real and is on topic. But would that really be the process your IT department would follow?
If reading and thinking don’t get you to 100% confidence, you must take extra steps to verify that you are dealing with a legitimate request before you click a link, download a file, or reply with sensitive data. Here are some easy ways to confirm that the information presented in an email is legitimate:
Instead of clicking on a link, open your web browser and type in a known, trusted URL and navigate to the site yourself.
Instead of replying to an email or calling a number included in the message, do your own fact-finding. Use an email address or phone number that you are able to confirm.
If you’ve received a questionable message from a colleague or friend, contact her or him via another channel (like a phone call or text message) to make sure she or he sent it.
Reach out to your IT team for advice (and to alert them that there is a potential phishing threat active on your organization’s network).
It takes just a minute to confirm a questionable message, whether it comes from a coworker, internal department, financial institution, or other source. In contrast, it can take days or weeks (or even longer) to remedy the consequences of interacting with a phishing or ransomware email. And sometimes you can’t ever remedy the consequences.

I then log on to a client machine using an account that i had created a profile path for. I make some changes to the desktop, start-up menu etc and then log off. When i check the Profiles folder on the server no profile is created for the user, his personal profile folder isn't created.
When i check the user profile on the client machine it marks the user as local and not roaming.
I have checked and doubled checked the path listing and everything seems to be in order. This is above me, help please.
So the folder is shared, and the share is configured full control everyone. Then your NTFS is set up for full control to creator/owner. Is that correct?
If yes, change the ntfs to everyone. Actually, just to be more secure, why not use authenticated users. What I think is happening that you as administrator have full control since you created the folder, but the user does not. When the individual profile folder is created by the system (upon first login/logoff) it should be created with full control to creator / owner. Also make sure that the client is able to navigate to that folder by typing the [URL="file://\\server01\Profiles"]\\server01\Profiles[/URL] at the run line.

Education providers are encouraged to take up two free services from the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) to help protect their websites and email servers from cyber attacks and spoofing.
The internet is an integral part in the way colleges, universities and research centres operate, but if vulnerabilities are found and exploited by cyber criminals there could be potentially catastrophic consequences.
To help, the NCSC has rolled out Web Check and Mail Check, which are both free to higher and further education sector providers. It’s hoping for 70% of UK institutions to sign up before the end of March.
Web Check scans websites to check for common, significant vulnerabilities. It does not require a high level of technical skill to install and, once set up, it will run regular, automatic checks.
The service will automatically send a report with the scan results, categorised by severity, together with advice on how to fix any identified problems.
Mail Check is a tool to support technical teams to prevent email spoofing. Putting in place the correct technical security measures will help maintain the integrity of emails by ensuring the content is not altered or read in transit, arrives in its intended state and comes from a legitimate sender.
It requires a little more input and an ongoing commitment from technical teams to set up, but the NCSC provides one-to-one support and troubleshooting for that.
Jisc’s head of cyber defence, Dr John Chapman, is keen for colleges and universities to make use of both free tools. He says:
“At any time, but particularly now because the pandemic has forced most of us into remote working, keeping online services like websites and email systems working smoothly is absolutely crucial.
“Cyber attacks are a constant threat and, if successful, can harm organisations through the loss of data, service provision and network availability, not to mention the financial and reputational cost and the impact on staff and students.
“Implementing anti-spoofing measures can reduce the risk of malware entering and spreading through organisations and their communities, which can be devastating.
“As with any security tool or service, Mail Check and Web Check should be considered as part of a holistic cyber security and information security strategy that provides robust defenses across the whole organisation. Any Jisc member that needs help with that can come to us for advice.”

During the first half of 2018, we have witnessed some particularly interesting zero-day exploits, including one for Flash (CVE-2018-4878) and more recently for Internet Explorer (CVE-2018-8174). The former was quickly used by exploit kits such as Magnitude, while it is only a matter of time before we see the latter being weaponized more widely.
We can now add to that list an Adobe Reader zero-day (CVE-2018-4990), which was reported by ESETand Microsoft and has already been patched. Although it has not been observed in the wild yet, it remains a dangerous threat considering it is coupled with a privilege escalation vulnerability in Microsoft Windows.
To exploit the Windows vulnerability, the attacker must write to an arbitrary address in kernel space, which will not work for Windows 8 and above, as newer security features prevent this kind of mapping. Those two combined zero-days were necessary to escape the Acrobat Reader sandbox protection, which to its credit has been improving the security of the software drastically, so much so that malicious PDFs that were once common as part of drive-by download attacks have all but vanished.
The exploit code is now visible in clear text. For a good explanation on how it is used for the ROP chain and shellcode execution, please refer to the ESET article.
We tested this zero-day against Malwarebytes, which was already stopping it without the need for any additional updates. The mitigation happens at the very beginning of the exploitation chain (stack pivoting):
We recommend users patch their systems to prevent this threat, which will most likely be weaponized in the wild soon. A very plausible attack scenario would be a PDF attachment in a malspam campaign.
The Adobe security bulletin (CVE-2018-4990) can be found here, while Microsoft’s (CVE-2018-8120) is here.

U.S. Correspondent, IDG News Service |
In an ongoing effort to commercialize its Watson analysis technology, IBM is testing a new service that can answer questions business managers might have about their data.
On Tuesday, IBM launched a beta of Watson Analytics, an interactive Q&A service designed to answer questions and highlight trends within sets of enterprise data.
The service “is about putting powerful analytics in the hands of every business user,” said Eric Sall, IBM vice president of marketing for business analytics.
Traditional business intelligence tools remain too difficult to use for business managers, Sall said. “It is hard to get the data. It is hard to analyze the data if your not a specialist, and it is hard to use the tools,” he said. Watson Analytics attempts to streamline the process.
Natural language systems are becoming increasingly prevalent as a form of human-computer interface. Apple’s Siri, Google’s GoogleNow and Microsoft’s Cortana all act as virtualized personal assistants, able to answer a range of simple questions on behalf of their users.
Watson Analytics operates in a similar manner, in that it can offer responses to questions posed by the user in their chosen language, rather than forcing the user to develop a SQL query, master a complex statistical package or write data-parsing code to better understand some large set of data.
The effort is the latest move in IBM’s US$1 billion initiative to commercialize Watson technologies.
IBM Research developed Watson to compete with human contestants on the “Jeopardy” game show in 2011, using natural language processing and analytics, as well as many sources of structured and unstructured data, to formulate responses to the show’s questions.
In the years since, the company has been working to commercialize the Watson technology by identifying industries that could benefit from this form of cognitive computing, such as health care, law enforcement and finance.
Earlier this year, IBM launched the Watson Discovery Advisor, which is customized for scientific researchers who need to deeply probe one specific body of scientific knowledge, such as chemistry or cellular biology.
Another service, the company’s Watson Engagement Advisor, uses the artificial intelligence technology to aid in customer support.
Watson Analytics is aimed more to answer more general questions for the average business manager. The technology would be a good fit for those working in the marketing, sales, operations, finance and human resources professions, according to IBM.
The service is aimed at business users who now do most of their analysis on spreadsheets, or use traditional business intelligence tools.
A sales manager could determine, for instance, which pending deals are most likely to close. A human resources manager could investigate which benefits are most likely to keep employees from job hunting elsewhere.
The service streamlines a lot of the tasks typically associated with predictive analytics, noted Dan Vesset, who is the program vice president for business analytics at the IDC IT research firm.
For instance, Watson Analytics can clean a new data set, which is to say the service organizes and formats the data so it can be analyzed. This can be a cumbersome job to do by hand. IBM estimates that data preparation can take up to 60 percent of the time required for an analysis job.
IBM is expecting most of the user data will arrive in a structured format, as database tables. The company is working on connectors for piping in semi-structured data, such as data from other applications and services like Salesforce.com, Sall said.
The service can also examine a data set to determine which statistical algorithms and visualization would work best for that data, relieving the user from making such technical decisions, Vesset said.
“I think IBM is bringing together a lot of important components,” Vesset said, referring to how the service combines natural language processing, machine learning, cognitive reasoning, data cleansing and formatting, preparatory analysis and visualization.
“Instead of dragging and dropping a pie chart, you write in natural language what you’d like to see, and the system itself will provide what it reasons is the most appropriate visualization,” Vesset said.
IBM’s next step, Vesset said, is to find the right user base for this service. The company is not pitching Watson Analytics to IT managers, but rather to line of business managers, who all have very specific domain knowledge about their businesses, which IBM and its partners will need to understand closely to make Watson a fit, he said.
IBM also has a range of more traditional analysis software and services, such as the Cognos Business Intelligence Suite and SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences).
IBM will choose which applicants can try the beta. In November, the service will go live.
The pricing structure for Watson Analytics not been announced yet, though the company plans to offer free use of the service for light, exploratory tasks, and offer paid plans for larger-scale usage.
IBM plans to demonstrate how the technology works in more detail, in an event to be held in New York on Tuesday.

TikTok has struggled with an ongoing string of issues involving child privacy dating back to its origins as the “Musical.ly” app. The company has yet another issue of this nature to deal with as a parents group in the Netherlands has filed a $1.7 billion suit against it in Amsterdam.
The suit has been filed by The Market Information Research Foundation (SOMI), a group that represents some 64,000 families across the European Union (EU). The suit accuses TikTok of collecting personal data from children that use the platform without obtaining permissions required by the region’s data privacy regulations. Though the case is thus far limited to parents that opt to pay a small fee to register a claim, SOMI estimates that a ruling could apply to millions of children that use the platform.
Child privacy an ongoing problem for TikTok
The suit also raises the question of how TikTok, owned by China-based ByteDance, uses and stores this data. Not only that it might be crossing servers in China, where the government is able to help itself to anything companies hold, but also that it might be entering the United States. The US is no longer considered a “trusted partner” in the EU for data transfer purposes, based on similar concerns that the government is able to order access to anything that is received from foreign countries.
After facing fines and legal challenges dating back to its original incarnation as Musical.ly several years ago, one might that TikTok would have all of its “I”s dotted and “T”s crossed in the area of child privacy (particularly in countries covered by the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation). The company has responded to the suit by noting that it does not allow users under the age of 13 and automatically makes the accounts of users between the age of 13 and 15 private. The videos of minors under the age of 16 are not added to the feed of recommended material delivered to other users, and the company says that moderators regularly review content and remove videos that are inappropriate for children.
The trouble that TikTok has run into in the past is that its age gating is trivial to bypass, as it is entirely self-reported. Children are not given much impetus to be honest about their age, given that the focus of the platform is to share videos and amass a following.
SOMI says that the case represents the millions of minors using TikTok throughout the EU, though the only direct named participants are parents that pay a €17.50 fee to register a claim and fund the suit. The suit seeks compensation of €2,000 for each user under the age of 13, €1,000 for each between the age of 13 and 15 and €500 for those aged 16 and 17.
In May of 2020, the Dutch data protection authority announced a probe into TikTok’s child privacy practices. The regulator said that it would focus on how TikTok handles parental consent to collect and store data, and whether the app is clearly and adequately communicating to children how their personal information is being handled when they install it. The findings were originally scheduled to be published sometime in late 2020, but there has yet to be an update on the progress.
Other privacy and national security probes
TikTok was famously scrutinized as a national security threat under the Trump administration, with the end result being a proposed ban from the country. Though that ban never came to fruition, it was formally overturned by the Biden administration this week via an executive order. TikTok is not out of hot water in the US just yet, however, with Biden also ordering a broad review of the potential risk of it and other foreign-owned apps. A separate probe of TikTok’s child privacy practices dating back to July 2020, which involves the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Justice Department, appears to be continuing. In early 2019, ByteDance also reached a settlement with the FTC over allegations that Musical.ly had violated child privacy laws by illegally collecting personal information.
Dutch lawsuit against TikTok follows patterns established both by other lawsuits and government probes over the last several years, alleging that the platform is not rigorous enough in verifying the age of its users. #privacy #respectdataClick to Tweet
This is also not the end of TikTok’s international problems. The company has been under a child privacy investigation in the UK since 2019, which has spawned a similar class action lawsuit that was brought to court this April. France also opened a similar probe in August 2020, which includes an investigation of child privacy violations. Australian intelligence agencies also announced an investigation of TikTok around that time after calls to ban the app as a security threat.

And a page is merely a collection of various aspects developed to get someone to take a specific activity.
ClickFunnels uses more compared to 50 different elements to assist you construct the excellent page.

Actually, ClickFunnels offers over 37 kinds of pages for you to blend and also match with. These are broken down right into the following 10 groups:
The pre-built design templates are totally adjustable, and are what most users use.

You could additionally link any type of funnel you create with your very own e-mail advertising service (if you do not make use of the one consisted of in ClickFunnels), and utilize the ClickFunnels built in payment system.
This is likewise a fun time to point out that ClickFunnels provides very valuable and easy to understand training videos when you initially sign up. I extremely suggest experiencing those due to the fact that they quickly allow you to use the device at its full capability, and you’ll have more enjoyable playing around. * Develop One-Click Subscription Sites *.
One of the very best functions with ClickFunnels is the capacity to quickly create membership websites and also deliver web content to your audience in one area.

It’s actually useful to not have to get a different software application or plugin to develop subscription websites.
Nevertheless, ClickFunnels additionally has their own effective automation tool called Actionetics.
Although you can produce, timetable, and provide emails just like other email advertising and marketing system, Actionetics is so much a lot more.
I love Actionetics since it not just replaces your email advertising and marketing yet carrier advertising and also SMS advertising and marketing software applications too. This takes automation to an entire brand-new level and assists you interact the perfect message to your clients, precisely when they need it. A video clip review of Actionetics will certainly be given additionally below.

1. ClickFunnels Criterion Plan – $97/month.
The standard strategy includes all the attributes you would need within ClickFunnels, but with constraints on the variety of funnels (20) and web pages (100) you could have in your account, along with the number of visitors (20K) could see your pages per month.
You also do not obtain advanced performance such as ClickFunnels own email advertising and also affiliate monitoring tools.

This strategy consists of all the bells as well as whistles of the typical strategy, with no constraints. It likewise includes two additional items created by ClickFunnels called Actionetics (e-mail marketing) and Backpack (associate administration platform).
In Actionetics – you can handle all your contacts that subscribe to your listing, send e-mail broadcasts, and also develop a host of other automations. Clickfunnels Page Not Loading
In Backpack – with the click of a mouse, you could add an affiliate program to any of your funnels. Then Knapsack will certainly track your clicks, sales, as well as how much to pay your associate companions.
If there’s one concern I obtain most often, it’s “Which ClickFunnels Strategy should I obtain”?
The distinction in between both strategies actually is the constraints, and also Actionetics/Backpack. If you are a fundamental individual and also do not expect to utilize greater than 20 funnels in your account – the Standard Strategy need to be adequate.
Nevertheless, if you plan to have an affiliate program or intend to keep your e-mail advertising within ClickFunnels and not use a 3rd party software application, the Etison Suite is for you.
You can always start on the lower plan and also upgrade if required.

ClickFunnels vs. Every person Else.
Lots of people ask exactly how ClickFunnels compares with various other touchdown page building contractors such as Leadpages, Unbounce, and also Infusionsoft.
Essentially it’s not actually a reasonable comparison due to the fact that each of these tools stands out is one location or the other.
The chart over offers a detailed evaluation – yet I’ll highlight several of the significant comparisons listed below.
ClickFunnels vs Leadpages
Before ClickFunnels, Leadpages was the large dog.
Leadpages is merely a lead capture software – absolutely nothing more. You could create touchdown web pages, lead boxes, gather leads … that’s pretty much it. Additionally, the Leadpages templates are likewise restricted on customization.
ClickFunnels is far more functional – it’s much easier to utilize and also does so a lot more than develop lead capture web pages.
Put simply, Leadpages is really just a landing web page home builder, while ClickFunnels is concentrated around developing extremely incorporated funnels.
ClickFunnels vs Infusionsoft
Infusionsoft is not a landing web page or sales page builder. It has a few of that capability built it, but that’s not what it’s known for.
At it’s core, Infusionsoft is a CRM platform – one that enables you to manage your whole client database. ClickFunnels has this ability with Actionetics, however it’s not almost as progressed as Infusionsoft.
Infusionsoft is likewise exceptionally pricey as well as forces every brand-new customer to pay $2000 for an obligatory kickstart mentoring plan simply to learn how you can make use of the complex system (which is notoriously tough to utilize).
ClickFunnels Associate Program
There are two main paths individuals drop as ClickFunnels users.
Those that prefer to use the device for their organisation – in hopes of someday achieve both Comma Club (over $1M in profits).
As well as those that have an interest in earning passive income as a ClickFunnels Associate and also winning the Desire Cars and truck Contest (where they pay $500/$1000 towards your dream automobile if you get to 100/200 active regular monthly signups, specifically).
With a massive 40% monthly persisting compensation, ClickFunnels conveniently has among the best associate programs of any kind of platform out there.
That’s right – you earn money an ongoing 40% payment on every affiliate signup you make through the ClickFunnels Affiliate Program. However, just what does that actually equate to?
The fundamental plan is a $97/month financial investment as well as the Etison Suite strategy is a $297/month investment. therefore you make $38.80 each basic strategy as well as $118.80 per Etison Collection strategy … each and every month!
Generally, every 100 signups will certainly bring in $4000/month in affiliate payments (more or less depending upon the amount of Etison Strategy individuals are in there).

The Bottom Line

Business identity theft involves illegal impersonation of a business for criminal gain. Business identity theft can affect any business regardless of their size. No business is entirely safe from identity theft.
However, there is a considerable risk for small to medium businesses. Smaller business tend to have less sophisticated security systems which could mean they are more vulnerable to attack.
Speak to the fraud department in credit reporting agencies and place a fraud alert on your accounts.
Just like personal identity theft, cleaning up your business’ accounts can take a long time. Unfortunately, the damage to a business can be even more severe than to an individual, so it is important that you protect your business’ identity.
Ensure your staff are fully trained in what to look out in terms of ransomware and Phishing attacks. There are training solutions available such as Sophos Phish Threat. Sophos Phish threat educates and tests your end users through automated attack simulations, quality security awareness training and actionable reporting metrics.
If you would like to discuss anything mentioned about identity theft please get in touch with our team.

Identity fraud is when those details are used to commit fraud. It can be described as the use of that stolen identity in criminal activity to obtain goods or services by deception. Fraudsters can use your identity details to open bank accounts, obtain credit cards, loans and state benefits, order goods in your name, take over your existing accounts, take out mobile phone contracts, obtain genuine documents such as passports and driving licenses in your name and stealing an individual’s identity details does not, on its own, constitute identity fraud. But using that identity for any of the above activities does.
The first you know of it may be when you receive bills or invoices for things you haven’t ordered, or when you receive letters from debt collectors for debts that aren’t yours. Criminals commit identity theft by stealing your personal information. This is often done by taking documents from your rubbish or by making contact with you and pretending to be from a legitimate organization.
To protect yourself from Identity Fraud, avoid throwing out anything with your name, address or financial details without shredding it first. If you receive an unsolicited email or phone call from what appears to be your bank or building society asking for your security details, never reveal your full password, login details or account numbers. Be aware that a bank will never ask for your PIN or for a whole security number or password.

Global efforts to give millions of people missing key paper documents such as a birth certificates a digital identity could leave them vulnerable to persecution or discrimination, a new study warns.
Work is underway to use digital technology so refugees and others lacking vital legal papers can have access to services such as health and education. But this could also provide a new way for ethnic minorities to be discriminated against and marginalized by officials and governments if safeguards are not in place, according to new research.
The World Bank estimates that over one billion people currently lack official identity documents—either because they never had it, or because they have lost it—and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals include the aim to provide legal identity for all by 2030.
Without identity documents people can have difficulty accessing many basic services including healthcare, social protection, banking or education. Asylum-seekers without documentary evidence of their identity and age may incur significant problems in acquiring legal status in a host country.
However, the University of Exeter Law School study warns digital identity could allow for more "efficient" ways to discriminate against highly persecuted groups of people such as the Rohingya minority in Myanmar, as the technology would make their ethnic minority status more visible.
Dr. Ana Beduschi, who led the research, said: "Technology alone cannot protect human rights or prevent discrimination. Depending on how digital identity technologies are designed and used, they may also hinder the rights of those that they intend to benefit. Having a digital identity may make people without legal documentation more visible and therefore less vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. However, it may also present a risk for their safety. If the information falls into the wrong hands, it may facilitate persecution by authorities targeting individuals based on their ethnicity.
"Giving people a digital identity will only help protect their human rights if those who provide it mitigate any risks of potential discrimination and promote high standards of privacy and data protection."
Governments and initiatives run by public-private partnerships are using technology such as blockchain and biometric data from fingerprints or iris scans to provide official identification, to control and secure external borders, and to distribute humanitarian aid to populations in need.
Data stored in the blockchain is encrypted and recorded in a way which makes it challenging to delete or tamper with. Those who support the use of blockchain say this means people can own and control their own digital identity, and can then decide with whom and when to share information contained in their "digital wallet."
These schemes are not just used for those who are stateless, or lacking papers. Countries such as Estonia and India already offer citizens the chance to have a digital identity, while Australia, Canada and the UK are currently exploring ways do this.
Digital identity technology could also lead to indirect discrimination. For example, biometric data collected from older individuals are often of less good quality, so only relying on this information could lead to them experiencing obstacles in joining and using digital identity programs and accessing services.
The study warns that governments must not use digital identity information for unlawful surveillance. Any systems in place should comply with international human rights law, and have safeguards built into domestic law on data storage, duration, usage, destruction and access of third parties, as well as the guarantees against arbitrariness and abuse.

E-readers have taken the world by storm, but what if you can’t or don’t want to shell out a few hundred dollars for one? Never fear: Nook for Android by Barnes & Noble turns your phone into a (smaller) e-reader for free–though you’ll have to buy your own ebooks.
Nook for Android takes Barnes & Noble’s Nook concept and delivers it to Android devices. Free ebooks are available for download, as well as all of the Nook titles.
When you open the app, you will be asked to create an account with Barnes & Noble or to log in to an existing account. From there, you are brought to a home screen that offers sections for what you’re currently reading, and for your Library, Archives, and the Nook Shop.
From the Shop you can purchase books for instant download, find free books, or download samples of books before you buy.
To test out this app, I downloaded the classic book Little Women, which is part of the free Barnes & Noble Classics Series. All of the functionality you’d expect from an e-reader is present: Font size can be changed, brightness can be adjusted, and chapter navigation is easy. There is a vanishing slider bar at the bottom of pages that lets you navigate rapidly through pages, but it lacks accuracy. Turning the page is as easy as swiping your finger across the screen, complete with page-turning animation. The Nook app keeps your place in the books you are reading so you can come back to them later.
For reading on-the-go, Nook delivers a straightforward and simple way to turn your Android phone into an e-reader.

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) is worried Congress is moving too fast when it comes to cybersecurity.
The Oregon Democrat, a staunch privacy advocate, also understands why his colleagues are concerned about the increasing threat cyberattacks pose to the U.S. -- a danger brought into stark relief when the U.S. Office of Personnel Management was hacked in June.
Officials said the breach, allegedly carried out by Chinese hackers, affected millions of Americans, who likely had their personal information stolen. Those hit worked both inside and outside the government.
It’s that attack, Wyden said, that has left the Senate rushing to pass meaningful cybersecurity legislation before lawmakers leave for August recess without thinking it through.
"This is an attempt to say that we are going to respond to the very serious hack at the OPM -- we are talking about 20 million records," Wyden told The Huffington Post. "But the reality is, this again doesn’t do a whole lot to promote cybersecurity and it puts at risk many Americans."
Watch HuffPost's interview with Wyden above.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) brought forward the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act, known as CISA, on Monday night. The legislation enables tech companies like Google, Twitter and Facebook to voluntarily share cyberthreat information, and limits the government's use of shared data to cybersecurity purposes only.
The first procedural vote on the bill, which was crafted by Sens. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), will take place no earlier than Wednesday. That leaves little time for debate before the upper chamber leaves for its month-long recess.
"There has been misinformation about this bill, so let me be clear: The goal of the bill is for companies and the government to voluntarily share information about cybersecurity threats -- NOT personal information -- in order to better defend against attacks," Feinstein, the ranking member on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said in a statement.
But Wyden, who was the lone dissenter during the Intelligence Committee markup of the bill earlier this year, argues the bill's privacy protections don’t go far enough. In an effort to quell concerns among privacy hawks and to garner more votes for final passage, Burr and Feinstein circulated changes to the bill, which have yet to be finalized.
Documents summarizing the revisions, provided to HuffPost, say the government could only use the information shared by companies to prosecute cyber-related crimes, and companies will be limited to sharing only cybersecurity threat information. Another adjustment would prohibit the government from citing cybersecurity concerns to deny Freedom of Information Act requests.
Yet for privacy critics like Wyden, those changes aren’t enough.
"Right now, we are seeing the government is having trouble keeping its own data security," he said. "But now Congress is setting up an arrangement where companies are going to hand over enormous amounts of additional private and personal information. That just doesn't add up."
The Oregon senator agrees that "there is a serious cybersecurity problem" in the U.S. But he also argues that, without stringent privacy protections, CISA isn’t a cybersecurity bill; "it’s a surveillance bill."
Wyden is particularly worried about secret passageways -- known as "backdoors" in cyber-speak -- that could enable the government to monitor individual Americans for reasons other than cybersecurity.
Backdoors are weaknesses, or openings that companies build into products, such as computers or phones, to be able to get through encryption software easily and gain access to information about cyber or terrorist threats, if needed.
The problem with backdoors, Wyden said, is that FBI Director James Comey is a bit too eager to have them at his disposal. The senator also said the government can collect Americans' private information when accessing records to target a foreign actor.

"They can use it to investigate individuals for a wide variety of offenses that are unrelated to cybersecurity, but it generally can’t be used to regulate companies that hand it over," Wyden said. "So, in effect, the government is saying, 'We care about corporations' privacy, but we don’t care about the privacy of individuals.' I think we should care about both."
Comey told senators when testifying about encryption technology that the government needed to find the right balance between the need to protect the country and privacy for Americans. "There is no such thing as secure," he said last month. "There is more secure and less secure. The question is what can we do to maximize public safety that results in an acceptable level of security."
While Comey has toned down his push a tad for unilateral access to backdoors, according to Wyden, he still wants "some way to get keys in order to access this kind of private information."I have great reservations about this because once the good guys have the keys, as sure as the night follows the day, the bad guys are going have the keys as well," Wyden said.
The senator hasn’t said if he will try to filibuster the bill, or fight for an amendment that would ban building mandatory backdoors for the government in Americans' electronics. He said he is working with his colleagues to determine the best way to blunt the damage from what he considers a "flawed" bill.
Wyden, joined by four other Senate Democrats on Tuesday, sent a letter to Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), urging leadership to ensure adequate time to consider "a reasonable number of amendments. "If the cybersecurity bill went forward, companies would share an awful lot of personal information about individuals," Wyden said. "That’s why I feel so strongly that when this bill goes forward, or if it goes forward, it must be accompanied by strong privacy protections. And without it, it really shouldn’t be named a cybersecurity bill."

The pandemic has put people on alert. Google Trends indicates the searches for COVID-19-related keywords has been increasing dramatically during the past few months. Numerous news and discussions have emerged on social media regarding how threat actors capitalize on people’s fear of the pandemic[1].
Cyber security researchers have been using newly registered domains (NRDs) as an indicator to study the emerging threat of cyber attacks. Organizations such as Cyberthreat Coalition have been releasing blocklists of NRDs containing COVID-19-related keywords.[2]
Since February 2020, we have seen reports that COVID-19 has been adopted as a novel theme in phishing attacks.[3] [4] Reports have shown that, much like the Google Search Trends of pandemic keywords, the number of COVID-19-related NRDs also experienced a surge in the past two months (see Figure 1). While the NRDs’ increase is easy to notice, it is challenging to understand how much of these NRDs were converted to novel phishing campaigns.
Organizations such as Cyberthreat Coalition and PhishLabs are providing data feeds for COVID-19-related NRDs. These feeds are important as they form a first line of defense when researchers do not have time and resources to look at the potentially new phishing threats.
We have collected in total 6,200 NRDs feeds from three different organizations – Cyberthreat Coalition, PhishLabs, and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). All of these NRDs are verified by their providers that they are related to COVID-19. We analyzed these feeds to evaluate their efficiency as blacklists. Specifically, we would like to understand how many of these NRDs could form an actual threat to the Internet and how many are simply reserved domains waiting for content to fill in.
We went through these URLs and put them into one of three categories – Non-active domain, phishing domain, and others (see Figure 2). The biggest category is the non-active domains. These are domains that depict a white page of error message or a default placeholder from the host provider or domain registrar (for example, see Figure 3). Such domains may have been registered for malicious purposes but were either taken down or never put into action.
Figure 2. Distribution of NRDs collected from third party feeds.
Figure 3. Non-active domain “coronavirusvictims.info”.
The second biggest category, which accounts for 13.5% of all the NRDs we analyzed, is domains that sit in the “gray” zone. These are domains that lead to a website selling essential goods of the pandemic (see Figure 4), or suspicious cures of the coronavirus. They are not 100% benign as many of them sit in the boundary of retailing and scam, but surely they are not part of a phishing campaign.
Figure 4. Web page of a small retailer site selling face masks.
Actual phishing domains account for only 2.4% in these NRDs. And to our surprise, many of these phishing domains carry the same content that we have been aware of long before the pandemic. Very few of them lead to novel phishing campaigns that exploit coronavirus fears.
Regular phishing websites that existed before the pandemic started, but the “look” was updated to reflect changes in web sites they imitate. For example, a lot of banks added disclaimers and notifications related to COVID-19 on websites. So by taking the latest “look” of legitimate websites, phishing websites also start to contain COVID-19 related keywords. It is important to note that in this case the keywords are not carrying any special goal, but merely appear on phishing websites because they exist on legitimate ones they’re mimicking.
Regular phishing websites that use COVID-19 related keywords in the URLs as clickbait. The content of the website is not related to COVID-19 and it is still imitating the same legitimate website as before the pandemic, but they use keywords in the URL to catch attention.
Novel phishing websites which were specifically designed to imitate COVID-19 related content. Examples of such websites are phishing pages targeting the World Health Organization (WHO) or the Canada Revenue Agency landing page for COVID-19 related loan programs.
Figure 5. Covid-19-themed phishing campaigns: February to May 2020.
Out of nearly 300,000 phishing URLs, we were able to identify four (4) phishing campaigns with content specifically crafted to use the COVID-19 theme (see Figure 5). The numbers are unexpectedly low as compared to the most popular regular phishing campaigns observed during the same time frame (see section below).
From February 3rd to May 4th, we observed only 795 URLs from the novel COVID-19 phishing campaigns. The number of URLs detected as novel COVID-19 phishing reached a peak during the second week of April. But this did not last long – overall, COVID-19-themed phishing web pages are disappearing quickly, from 291 URLs in the week of April 6th to only 17 URLs in the week of May 4th.
Overall, we found 245,059 phishing URLs from February to May. In terms of size, regular phishing campaigns are larger than the novel COVID-19 phishing by two orders of magnitude. The growth rate of overall phishing campaigns also differs a lot from the novel COVID-19 phishing campaigns. We plotted the 10 most popular phishing campaigns as well as the overall number in Figure 10. The numbers have been steadily increasing since early March and peaked in early April. Although some major phishing campaigns see a slight decline in the number after April 6th, the overall number did not drop significantly.
Figure 10. Overall phishing campaigns, including cumulative total for the top 10 and the volume of each individual campaign: February to May 2020.
We also extracted the distribution of URLs among the 40 most popular phishing targets from February to May 2020 (see Figure 11). As expected, the majority of these targets showed no direct connection with COVID-19, and have been monitored by us as popular phishing targets from before the pandemic. It is clear that COVID-19 did not dramatically change how attackers choose their targets.
Figure 11. Number of unique URLs detected from February to May 2020 for the 40 most popular phishing targets.
While the novel COVID-19 phishing campaigns are much smaller in size than the regular ones, both indicated a sudden increase in volume from late March to early April. This could indicate that while attackers show little interest in developing new campaigns using the COVID-19 theme, they increased their push behind existing campaigns (for example, see Figures 12 and 13), which are spreading much faster than before thanks to the pandemic.
Using the NRD feeds might be a good way to understand the trend of emerging threats and quickly deploy a first line of defense. However, these NRD feeds are not efficient indicators of phishing campaigns. Specifically, they do not explain the conversion rate from NRD to actual phishing websites.
While attackers exploit the fears surrounding COVID-19, there is not enough evidence suggesting that new phishing campaigns were developed as fast as COVID-19-related domains were registered. As indicated by our analysis of COVID-19 themed phishing, very few novel campaigns surrounding COVID-19 have been developed and put in the wild. The novel campaigns are proportionally smaller than their regular counterparts and are much more short-lived.
In the meantime, existing phishing campaigns are taking the opportunity to expand. The total number of phishing URLs has been steadily increasing during the time of pandemic. As of early May the overall number had doubled since February. This could indicate that while attackers showed less interest in developing new phishing campaigns, they did grasp the pandemic as an opportunity to push existing campaigns harder than before.

You should see the directory where nodesMetadataFile is located. Add it to the list of the directories to protect.
In default SingleStore DB installations, it is /var/lib/memsql. In our example, it is $tar_install_dir/nodes.
The example cluster used memsql-server-7.1.11.tar.gz for cluster setup, with tar_install_dir=/home/memsql/memsql, so it would require a guard point for the directory /home/memsql/memsql/nodes. The same procedure would apply for any other directories that you have configured in a non-default way. You will have to identify the specific path for each of those and configure CTE to protect them individually.
In addition to protecting the data, plancache, tracelogs, auditlogs, and nodes metadata, you may wish to secure the destination directory or directories for backups and SELECT INTO OUTFILE results. You can use the same set of policies to protect those directories. The location of those directories depends on your specific configuration.
Now that you have the locations of the directories, you can proceed to configuring DSM to guard them.
Select the host on which you want to add the user. Click Ok.
The list of users should appear in the bottom of the screen. Choose the user that is running SingleStore DB nodes on the host (memsql in most cases) and the user that is running Toolbox commands.
Enter the name SingleStore_decryption.
Under Security rules, click Add to add a security rule.
Choose the Standard policy type. Enter the name: SingleStore_security.
Under Security Rules, click Add. Add the following security rules in this order:
This rule will be applied for any user to allow browsing the directories on host.
The log file will show a message that the target directory paths are successfully guarded. You will see a green circle next to the guard point that you created.
On the host where CTE is installed, switch to a root user. For each of the guarded directories run dataxform --rekey --preserve_modified_time --gp < GUARD_DIR> (replacing GUARD_DIR with the name of each directory).
Again, verify that you have created a guard point for all data, plan cache, audit log, trace log, nodes metadata, backup, and “outfile” directories (if any) that you wish to protect for your SingleStore DB environment.
Troubleshooting Tips
If you need to re-run dataxform for the same directory more than once, you may get the Automatic data transform status for /home/memsql/memsql/nodes: previous attempt completed error message. In this case you need to run dataxform --cleanup --gp <GUARD_DIR>
If you do not see a green circle next to your guard point, the directory may be busy, i.e. there is a shell connected to it. You have to exit the directory for the guard point to be active.
After a short delay you will see the green circle next to the newly created SingleStore_security entries. This means that the policy is active and SingleStore DB processes and data are protected.
Now you can start the SingleStore DB cluster by running sdb-admin start-node --all --yes.
cat /home/memsql/memsql/nodes/d8d2b5f4-d046-4a6f-a0c1-9f6e0525fd16/memsql.cnf
You should see that the data is encrypted.
Run sdb-admin describe-node --all. This should show the same result as before the encryption.
Connect to the database and run some queries: create a database or table, insert some data, select some data.
Go to your tar_install_dir and find the newly installed memsql-server directory, e.g. memsql-server-7.1.12-2sdt55frq5.
In DSM, add three entries to singlestore-process-set with MEMSQL_BINARIES_PATH replaced by <tar_install_dir>/memsql-server-7.1.12-2sdt55frq5.

While it is normal to see a positive trend in terms of number of artifacts analyzed by our engines, a stark increase might in some cases be the telltale sign of a shift in the threat landscape. Just recently, our threat intelligence telemetry alerted us of an anomalous surge of Agent Tesla binaries detected in the wild. While the threat is quite well-known, the number of different samples (100% increase in just 3 months) prompted us to further investigate the underlying cause.
In this threat report, we outline the extent of the surge, and detail which customer verticals appear to be more impacted. We also illustrate how easy it is to custom-build new samples evading traditional signature-based defenses, and how this ease-of-use translated to a plethora of variants, all including the very same noxious info-stealer functionality. In the last section, we release a YARA rule tailored to reliably detect the payload regardless of the module enabled, and discuss the efficacy of VT retro-hunting.
The Surge
Figure 1: The increasing number of Agent Tesla samples detected by our telemetry.
Agent Tesla is a well-known monitoring software written in .Net. Acting as a fully-functional information stealer, it is capable of extracting credentials from different browsers, mail, and FTP clients. It logs keys and clipboards data, captures screen and video, and performs form-grabbing (Instagram, Twitter, Gmail, Facebook, etc.) attacks. It is quite clear how a surge of detections, as shown in Figure 1, might be a worrying sign: info-stealers are able to quickly impact a company’s operations and revenue, and thus shall not be underestimated.
Figure 2: Customer verticals most affected by the wave of Agent Tesla.
Figure 2 shows the detections pivoted by the affected verticals. The lion’s share goes to the “Software and Internet” vertical, potentially indicating how businesses that are less compartmentalized and therefore more susceptible to attacks using continually updated code hashes might be more exposed to (or a more likely target of) off-the-shelf info-stealers featuring plentiful variants.
The productization of this piece of malware is so advanced that prospective customers can purchase it online by choosing one of the available options: bronze, silver, gold, or platinum. The last two allow the buyer to additionally pack the binary with a FUD packer, and ship it via document exploit (or VBA downloader) for its further execution on the target machine. Agent Tesla also runs its own discord channel, 24/7 support, and regularly publishes updates. Both aspects mean that there is a dedicated team standing behind this regrettably successful product.
To Each His Own (Agent Tesla) Flavour
Crafting your own Agent Tesla into an executable or malicious document is an incredibly straightforward process: the user just needs to access the provided builder. Its control panel is user-friendly and explains at length every single option. In just a couple of clicks it is possible to select what information is to be targeted, and how the stolen data shall be exfiltrated. See Figure 3 to see all the info stealer modules available.
Figure 3: Info-stealer modules available in Agent Tesla. Or in other words, how to be spoilt for choice.
Agent Tesla provides functionalities to assure its persistence, and increase the likelihood of staying under the radar. It is possible to auto-start the malware after reboot, disable some Windows utilities (including “Task Manager”), delay its execution, bypass known anti-analysis tools, and more (see Figure 4 for the whole list).
Figure 4: Advanced settings can turn the infostealer into an evasive and persistent implant.
Standard tricks might not be enough if the binary is meant to stay under the radar against common AV solutions. This is why Agent Tesla even embeds a crypter and scanner (see Figure 5) based on scanmybin.net. These are all necessary steps to tentatively grant to the resulting artefact FUD (Fully UnDetectable) status without uploading the data to VirusTotal, which would ultimately share the sample with subscribing AV vendors.
Figure 5: The embedded scanner marketing the efficacy of Agent Tesla against big AV vendors.
As we mentioned, the actual delivery takes many forms, including EXE, XLS, DOC, DOCX, VBS, and highly-obfuscated RTF files. In some cases, our Global Threat Intelligence Network managed to isolate a number of samples relying on vulnerabilities exploiting the Equation Editor executable (see here for more information on this vulnerability class). Figure 6 shows one of such samples, and details all the steps of the infection chain.
Because of the packer/crypter and the high number of potential modules, static analysis might not be able to generalize well enough to reliably detect all Agent Tesla variants.
This is why relying on data and code introspection and extracting memory dumps dynamically are both necessary building blocks to classify Agent Tesla at scale. In particular, the ability to unpack executables and statically analyze the output addresses both coverage and completeness concerns. This is exactly our approach: while we actively maintain a repository of YARA rules, we execute the static analyzer for every single step of the dynamic analysis. By adopting this approach we can craft rules that are both extremely precise (because they are profiling only code specific to the threat in question) and complete (the rules are guaranteed to be run on all the code whether it is executed or not).
Attached below, you can find one of the YARA rules we considered for this specific threat. As you can see the rule targets the password and key salt from the main decryption function, a precise indicator to trigger detection.

Nitro PDF Reader (free) is the most powerful free PDF reading and creation tool you can find, performing many tasks usually only available in for-pay PDF tools. As a PDF reader, it’s lighting fast. For example, it opened a 174-page graphics-heavy PDF nearly instantly–faster than any other PDF reader I’ve tried, including FoxIt Reader, Nuance PDF Reader, and Adobe’s own PDF reader, among others. It lets you search, zoom in and out, rotate pages, and more, pretty much everything that you’d expect from a PDF reader.
Among Nitro PDF Reader’s many tools is a PDF-to-text converter.
It does more as well. You can add notes, highlight text, type text into a text box, insert a signature into a PDF and much more, including commenting on other people’s notes. Nitro PDF also does a very nice job of extracting text and images from PDF files. The program will even take a form scanned in via a scanner as a PDF file and let you type directly on the PDF form.

The most recent version of the software is specially adapted for Windows 7, 8.1, and 10. Kaspersky Internet Security is a set of many defensive tools that allow you to protect your PC from outside malicious actions fully. In most cases, using a download link will guide you to their promo page where you can get the free version of the Antivirus. This version is enough to scan and detect viruses. Also, you will be able to use all functions for a while. Kaspersky antivirus will cost you about $40 per machine per year. On the other hand, the full package including a firewall costs $60. The whole packet is what you get when using protection and buying the full version. You will be able to protect multiple devices at once. The program works quite well on numerous platforms such as iOS, Android, and Windows. You can even protect your MAC system.
There are two more expansions that you can buy. For example, Kaspersky Total Security is an even bigger package of products. It allows you to wipe out all potentially malicious software on your PC. If you are ready to pay up to $150, you will be able to get Kaspersky Security Cloud. This is a great way to expand the protection across up to 20 devices.
This software is rated highly by many independent organizations including the AV-test (a German independent company that tests antivirus software). Their latest tests revealed that Kaspersky is capable of correctly identifying 98% of software threats. It can locate/remove nearly all known types of malware. Product requires a relatively low amount of system resources to operate at full capacity. The program does not disrupt the performance of your PC. It works well even with limited resources.
Many other AV programs consume much more system resources. For example, Avira requires more and acts very demanding towards your system. When running in the background, this antivirus demands next to no resources.

Two weeks ago, Twitter has settled FTC charges that it deceived consumers and put their privacy at risk, since security lapses allowed hackers to obtain administrative control its system.
This was the first case of this kind that the FTC brought against a social networking service, and Facebook has obviously taken it as a warning and an incentive to thoroughly check its own defenses.
As TechCrunch reports – a senior Facebook engineer whose work centers on site reliability has issued a challenge to all company employees – they have been given permission to try any tactic they can think of in order to obtain information from him that could lead to a compromise of Facebook’s administrative system.
Does it surprise anyone that they succeeded? Granted, it took them a couple of weeks, but they supposedly managed to compromise his home WiFi network by intercepting his WPA password when he logged in into a rogue Wi-Fi router set up by them.
Gaining further information and passwords was, at this point, an easy thing to accomplish – they simply monitored his Internet activity and got hold of the (unencrypted?) data transmitted – passwords and all.
If anything is to be learned from this instance, it’s how difficult it is to protect oneself from attackers who have the means and the motivation to spend a lot of time assaulting a particular target. What makes is so scary is the fact that Facebook keeps so much information about its users.
