The PivotTable Service is the client side of Microsoft SQL Server OLAP Services. It provides the layer that lets client applications connect with SQL Server OLAP Server. You can use OLE DB for OLAP or ActiveX Data Objects Multi-Dimensional (ADO MD) to write code to access and manipulate data cubes. ADO MD lets you develop Web applications against OLAP Server cubes.
The PivotTable Service can cache user queries, meta data, and data so that it can satisfy new queries by working with previously cached data rather than requerying the OLAP Server. The OLAP Server and PivotTable Service share a great deal of code. This sharing provides multidimensional calculation, caching, and query management features to the client. For example, if you query the OLAP Server for first-quarter 1998 sales information and then decide to compare the results to first-quarter 1997 data, the PivotTable Service will query the server only for the 1997 data because the 1998 data is already cached. In addition, the PivotTable Service facilitates disconnected operations by allowing cube slices to persist on the client machine for later analysis, without requiring a connection to the OLAP Server.
According to Microsoft, the PivotTable Service uses approximately 2MB of disk space and 500KB of memory. Office 2000 will include the PivotTable Service, and the version of Excel in Office 2000 will include embedded connectivity between spreadsheets and OLAP Server data or other OLE DB for OLAP providers. | https://www.itprotoday.com/sql-server/navigating-pivottable-service |

Phishers are hooking more and more Twitter users in campaigns to steal their account data, according to security researchers.
The initial phishing attack reported over the weekend has expanded, with spammers now using compromised accounts to initiate a new campaign that capitalizes on the popularity of the Apple iPhone.
According to Sophos, the latest barrage of phishing e-mails contains messages like this: "hey. i won an iphone! come see how here." Others read: "Wanna win the new iPhone? It's so easy and cool, I love this thing! Visit: [url removed]."
Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos, speculated in a blog post that spammers are earning a commission via affiliate links by directing traffic to these Web sites.
"A compromised Twitter account can be abused just like a compromised botnet PC," Cluley said in an interview with eWEEK. "It can be exploited by hackers to launch further spam campaigns, or to spread malware or to attempt identity theft."
A warning about the initial campaign was posted Saturday on the Twitter blog. That attack worked by sending out e-mails that resembled notifications from Twitter about Direct Messages. According to Twitter, a typical e-mail in this attack reads: "hey! check out this funny blog about you ..." and provides a link to a phony Twitter log-in page.
While the damage of losing Twitter credentials may seem minimal at first glance, as the recent campaign shows, the potential exists for the information to be used for social engineering purposes in a broad range of cyber-scams. In addition, Cluley pointed out that many people use the same password for every Web site they access.
"That means that if hackers now have your Twitter details, they can also perhaps log in to your Gmail, eBay, PayPal, Amazon, Hotmail and other online accounts and create a greater impact on your identity and wallet," he said.
Twitter advises users to immediately reset their passwords if they have been victimized by the scheme. | http://www.eweek.com/security/twitter-phishing-scam-takes-new-turn-with-promises-of-iphone |

READ THIS NOW... FOR THE MALWARE!
It have come to my cases that a member named, "User1" has contacted me with a file and stating it was posted onto the site known as: CleanArms_0.3.1.rar
This file is known as a 'Cleaner.' User1 showed me the logfiles it create after logging into an account, the file also when opening the .rar format as a Win32VB Malware. I do not know this is a risk. If you downloaded it or use it.
YOU ARE AT RISK OF A MAJOR COMPUTER INFESTION
Its a keylogger and Messes up CA, if you do download Go to C:/Drive and look for Firefox decrypt.txt delete it its a keylogger also delete l9.exe if you find it.
This could be a false alarm. However, I wish users to provide feedbacks if anything bad happens with the programs.
I also ask the people do not just assume, please check and make sure you are okay.
Ya it's a good thing I have a firewall, I prevented it from accessing the internet, as well as a program called "l9.exe". Now why would it need to access the internet.
If you did download it like me and you didn't block from the internet, then change all the passwords that you have entered since the download. Download Avira Antivirus(it's free):
Scan your computer, should take a few hours, depending on how many files you have and quarantine(Repair All) And then you can remove from quarantine if you want.
Avira has the best detection rate! Even better then the non-free ones, like Norton, Kaspersky, McAfee, and every other anti-virus, go here it shows all it's rewards, and it has a.........
Yes, I think. I got a type of a virus from cleanarms2 on my google chrome cache, or something when I scanned it last week. It was cleanarms2 because it said cleanarms2 on the cache...
EDIT: It's called "Trojan.Win32.VB.uhg" and I found it in this location(you have it different from me same internet, or not):

Forget Hacks... Ransomware, Phishing Are Election Year's Real Threats
As we gear up for the voting season, let's put aside any links between foreign interference and voting machine security and focus on the actual risks threatening election security.
With presidential primaries underway and a national election on the horizon, security's in the air just as much as platforms and policies. Unfortunately, it also opens the door to non-technical, political cynics to exacerbate election security and promote misconceptions, undermining public confidence in democracy and the election process as a whole.
Top security concerns focus on electronic voting equipment, potential cyberattacks, and ways US states, counties, and parishes can take precautions to curb voter machine threats. Focusing solely on voting machine security is tempting for those who aren't experts in network and information security, but this narrow view often undercuts the true complexity of election security. While voting machine security is important, hacking those machines tends to be a high-risk, high-effort production that’s almost impossible to scale because it usually requires showing up and physically touching machines. By focusing on this rarely exploited security concern, the larger systemic issues of election security are left out of the conversation.
As we gear up for this year’s voting season, it’s important to leave the implicit link between Russian interference in the 2016 election and voting machine insecurity in the past and redirect focus on the actual risks threatening election security.
At-risk infrastructure
Election infrastructure has and will continue to be targeted during the upcoming election. Well-resourced foreign adversaries are interested in targeting the networks and Internet-connected systems used during elections. An unsophisticated level of cyber-hygiene in these IT environments can allow hackers to successfully target voter registration systems and databases, voter verification services, Web services used to publish polling information, and other network services run by local, county, and state election authorities. To combat these threats, a vulnerability management program needs to be present across all election-critical network services to reduce the attack surface and ensure critical software patches are in place.
Phishing is the most popular vector for online crime, and that won’t change with the elections. We saw email-based targeted phishing campaigns firsthand during the 2016 presidential election, when the highest profile phishing attack succeeded in targeting emails directed at Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, John Podesta. This was not a tactic used to gain access to election systems, but rather to fuel a propaganda campaign that weakened public confidence in those systems and that specific candidate. There is no doubt that election hackers will continue to use this method in 2020. It’s likely that phishing will target virtually everyone connected to the US elections in any official capacity.
Ransomware attacks spiked in 2019, hitting critical networks in cities and counties. The wildly popular tactic is best exemplified by the attack that hit Baltimore this past May. Though not motivated by profit, ransomware-like attacks such as NotPetya are still surprisingly devasting when those encrypted hard drives do not have an existing key and are left with a self-replicating code that leverage both vulnerabilities and common Windows weaknesses. Such an attack on election day could cause immense chaos in any US city. Critical election infrastructure connected to and available over the standard public Internet would be disrupted or taken offline, which would impact both voter confidence and voter turnout.
As the 2020 elections kick off, it’s important to remember that voter machines are and will remain an important technology that help make voting easier and more accessible for millions of Americans. We should feel solace knowing that the vendors of these machines are taking their security responsibility seriously. Rather, election stakeholders for the 2020 election cycle should direct their limited resources on protecting back-end systems, increasing user awareness, and championing fundamentally simple solutions.
Attackers can reach campaign and election system online resources and email inboxes far easier than they can scale up hacks on individual voting machines. So let’s focus on maintaining voter confidence and deny attackers easy propaganda wins by securing all the things we can and auditing all those that we can’t.

The rise and fall of Pegasus, Apple prevails in yet another cyberwar.
Apple iPhones are known for their security, but when they are under attack by the world’s most sophisticated spyware, it creates panic. A similar situation had all the iPhone users around the world on their toes when a spyware named “Pegasus” created three zero-day vulnerabilities to spy on specific targets.
Luckily Apple, along with a security firm Lookout, worked out a fix to counter Pegasus’ illicit actions in a form of a security update. All iPhone users are strongly advised to update their iOS devices immediately to iOS 9.3.5, which is available over-the-air. The devices must be updated the traditional way, by going into the Settings > General > Software Update and then tap of “Download and Install.”
Even though the software update fixes the vulnerabilities, any common iPhone user would have questions about Pegasus’ origin and the dangers of this impossible-to-detect software that can hack an iPhone.
What is “Pegasus” and how did it work?
Pegasus is a malicious software that can launch a targeted attack on an iPhone without its owner ever knowing of it. It sends a simple SMS to the targeted iPhone, which contains a link. When the user clicks the link, it downloads the malware on the device.
Using the three zero-day vulnerabilities, Pegasus can gain access to all the information on the iPhone, including Gmail, Facebook and more. It then sends that information to whoever is behind the attack.
Who is behind this attack?
Pegasus is the work of a secretive intelligence company called NSO Group. There isn’t much known about this organisation, but as per Motherboard’s deep investigation, it is learnt that the NSO Group is based out of Israel and came into inception in 2010.
“NSO Group are a highly valued surveillance company purporting to sell some of the most advanced spyware on the market,” Edin Omanovic, a research officer at Privacy International, told Motherboard. “Given the secretive nature of the company however, as with everything in the surveillance industry, it is very difficult to separate fact from marketing.”
NGO Group has openly accepted that it only sells to “authorised” governments and its mission is to help make the world a safer place.
What were the dangers?
As in the case of any cyber attack, there is a serious danger to the information stored on a device. In the case of Pegasus, which has been described by Lookout “the most sophisticated attack we’ve seen on any endpoint,” the software once installed on the targeted device has the potential to gain admin access without the knowledge of the owner.
It can access all the photos and screenshots, information from apps such as Facebook and Gmail, intercept calls from Skype and WhatsApp, retrieve files, calendar records and remotely turn on microphone to eavesdrop on any conversation.
In case you haven’t updated your iPhone or iPad yet, do so immediately to stay protected from Pegasus. | http://security4sure.com/2016/10/meet-pegasus-the-most-sophisticated-spyware-that-hacks-iphones-how-serious-was-it/ |

I just read a really eye-opening report from the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) about how phishing emails, fraudulent ACH transactions and work-at-home schemes can be connected.
It starts with a “spear-phishing” message. Spear-phishing is a targeting form of phishing, made to look like it comes from someone you know, possibly a friend or employer. This message, rather than the usual phishing angle (“click this link to verify your account information”) will either contain a malware-infected attachment, or will link to a website that infects the user’s computer with malware.
This malware includes a keylogger program, which sends a record of keystrokes back to whoever originated the scheme. Once the victim logs into one of their financial institution accounts, this information is relayed back to the crooks.
At this point, the crooks will use either wire or ACH transfers to remove money from the victim’s account. However, it doesn’t end here.
The next victims in the process are those who have fallen for some form of work-at-home scheme (usually “processing payments” or similar). The money stolen from the first victim is wired into an account held by the next victim, who then transfers it back to the criminals, thinking they are actually processing a “payment” from the original victim.
So, they’re not just logging keystrokes to steal money from one group, they’re using a second set of victims to launder the money for them.
It would be brilliant if it weren’t so slimy.
This got me thinking about US Surveys, Inc., whom I wrote about a couple months ago. In doing research on this obvious mystery shopper scam, I actually came across a few victims who, at least for their first “assignment,” had actually made around $100. “They wired $900 into my Citibank account, then had me wire $800 back to them.” It was only on their second “assignment,” when they were asked to wire their own money first, that they began to wise up.
I thought that was kind of weird at the time. Were they actually paying you the first time just to earn your trust? It seemed like an awfully big gamble, since people were realizing that it was a scam soon afterwards (not to mention the risk of someone just taking the $900 and running).
Now it makes sense. The initial $900 was probably money stolen from a spear-phishing victim. That $100 these people had made was their payoff for helping someone launder money. They weren’t being ripped off initially, but they were helping a criminal conceal the source of funds.
The second, “Now wire us your money first” assignment was probably just an attempt at an extra payoff on their way out the door; by that point, the original victim (whose money was being laundered in the first transaction) had most likely discovered the fraud and locked the account. Thieves have to move quickly from victim to victim these days.
Because of #4 above, your best bet is just to avoid, avoid, avoid. Lose any big ideas you might have about trying to “scam the scammers”
If you are a victim of this type of crime, in addition to the standard credit locks and police reports, file a complaint with the IC3; your information could help federal law enforcement stop this type of crime in the future.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has received numerous reports of a fraudulent e-mail that has the appearance of being sent from the FDIC.
The subject line of the e-mail states: “check your Bank Deposit Insurance Coverage.” The e-mail tells recipients that, “You have received this message because you are a holder of a FDIC-insured bank account. Recently FDIC has officially named the bank you have opened your account with as a failed bank, thus, taking control of its assets.”
The e-mail then asks recipients to “visit the official FDIC website and perform the following steps to check your Deposit Insurance Coverage” (a fraudulent link is provided). It then instructs recipients to “download and open your personal FDIC Insurance File to check your Deposit Insurance Coverage.”
This e-mail and associated Web site are fraudulent. Recipients should consider the intent of this e-mail as an attempt to collect personal or confidential information, some of which may be used to gain unauthorized access to on-line banking services or to conduct identity theft.
The FDIC does not issue unsolicited e-mails to consumers. Financial institutions and consumers should NOT follow the link in the fraudulent e-mail.
Yet another reminder that you should never follow links in unsolicited email messages, especially those telling you to log in to something. Even if you had an account at a failed bank, the FDIC would have no way of knowing your email address.
The following is an excerpt from a recent speech by FBI Director Robert S. Mueller, III:
Most of us assume we will not be targets of cyber crime. We are not as careful as we know we should be. Let me give you an example.
Not long ago, the head one of our nation’s domestic agencies received an e-mail purporting to be from his bank. It looked perfectly legitimate, and asked him to verify some information. He started to follow the instructions, but then realized this might not be such a good idea.
It turned out that he was just a few clicks away from falling into a classic Internet “phishing” scam—“phishing” with a “P-H.” This is someone who spends a good deal of his professional life warning others about the perils of cyber crime. Yet he barely caught himself in time.
He definitely should have known better. I can say this with certainty, because it was me.
After changing all our passwords, I tried to pass the incident off to my wife as a “teachable moment.” To which she replied: “It is not my teachable moment. However, it is our money. No more Internet banking for you!”
If I didn’t dislike vapid clichés like “it really makes you think” so much, I’d probably say that right now. I mean, it would be funny (but not ha-ha funny) enough if someone like myself fell for a phishing email, but the FBI Director?
I think the Soup Nazi-esque “no online banking for you!” response is extreme, although I can see how a high-profile figure like Mueller could have his reasons beyond just his own personal finances for going offline—namely, his very credibility.
For the rest of us, though, online banking and bill payment is still very safe, as long as you’re informed when it comes to the dangers. If you get an email that appears to be from a financial institution, don’t click on any links within that message. Go directly to that bank, credit union or credit card company’s website by typing the URL manually, or by running a search on Google, and log in from there. Of course, if it’s from an institution you don’t even have a relationship with, you’re pretty safe in assuming it’s phony.
The full text of Mueller’s speech is an interesting read, if you have a few minutes, by the way.
Emails and text messages that claim to come from Allegius Credit Union are rampant in Northwest Indiana right now. In fact, several REGIONAL employees have received these over the past two weeks.
Of course, not everyone who gets one of these messages is a member of Allegius, in which case it’s easy to see through the phishing attempt, like a few years ago when I received a phishing message that claimed to be from a credit union in Hawaii. However, Allegius does have a lot of members, and that’s what the criminals are counting on.
For example, let’s say they sent 100,000 emails, and 5,000 of those people are members. If only 1% of those people fall for it, they’ve got 50 account numbers, PINs, and probably some other information as well. That’s more than enough to do some serious damage and drain a lot of money from victim’s accounts.
I’m pasting the text of these email messages below. I don’t have an example of the text message version of this scam, but it essentially said the same thing: “your account has been suspended, please go to this site and log in.”
Your financial institution will never contact you in this way regarding account security. If you receive such messages, delete them immediately. Never click a link inside an email message of this nature, as it will take you to a website designed to appear legitimate, but set up for the sole purpose of stealing your information.
Your It’s Me 247 Online Banking account has been locked temporarily due to many unsuccessful login attempts.
You are kindly advised to Login to It’s Me 247 Online Banking and follow the instructions on your screen.
The data submitted will be transmitted over an SSL encrypted connection (128 bit Secure Socket Layer).
The line about SSL encryption in the second message is a cute touch. Yet another attempt to make the message seem realistic. You might also think the phrase “You are kindly advised” seems a little off. It doesn’t seem like a phrase a financial institution would use, does it? It has a weird, “translated” aroma to it. Since a lot of these scams originate overseas, that’s probably not far from the truth. | http://fraudpreventionunit.org/tag/phishing/page/5/ |
Just a heads up on a problem we’ve found thanks to Tim, who has been reviewing some open source JWT / JWS implementations for fun.
Two days ago we rolled out a few new tags for the namshi/jose which fix a security vulnerability on the library.
The problem was introduced in this PR and would cause an attacker to be able to impersonate other users. If you are running on a vulnerable version you should upgrade immediately.

When delivering advertising, the SSL / TLS protocol must be used, to encrypt the data traffic between the client and the web server. What we want to highlight in this article, however, is the fact that encryption must also include all participating ad servers within the delivery chain so that fraudsters cannot succeed in hiding ransomware or Trojans in banners and distributing them that way:
It is well-known that attackers compromise poorly secured ad servers or buy advertising space with stolen credit card marketers. This method is certainly attractive to cybercriminals because linking the ad server to numerous websites provides a high range of malicious software distribution.
Therefore, ad server operators should consider the following measures to ensure a proper delivery of online advertising:
1. Select strong passwords: Ad server operators have the duty to choose strong passwords or use alternatives that are at least comparably secure. This is to ensure that customers choose passwords that are strong enough for brute force attacks.
2. Import updates regularly: The past shows that ad servers were often compromised due to a lack of security updates. Therefore, operators are obliged to install security updates as quickly as possible and such security updates must be installed on all components belonging to the ad server, including the employees' clients. For this reason, establishing a patch management process is highly recommended since it allows operators to react quickly to newly released security updates and install them as quickly as possible.
3. Effective virus protection: An efficient virus protection is a must for all computers of the project team. And of course, antivirus programs should also be used on ad servers to perform regular scans and isolate or remove any malware on the ad servers. Ideally, operators opt for an anti-virus program that recognizes bad ads during upload and initiates appropriate action.
4. Monitoring: Security-relevant activities must be logged on ad servers in compliance with data protection. Operators should check if existing container tags were manipulated in an unfamiliar way or infected with malicious content. In addition, efficient monitoring should make it possible to track manipulations on ad servers to be able to draw conclusions about the cause in the event of security incidents.
5. Security concept and emergency preparedness: Ad server operators are required to create an emergency preparedness plan to respond to security incidents. In addition, a security concept is recommended that can be used to determine which information security strategies are really being pursued. This includes, among other things, that server operators react as quickly as possible to security incidents, remove defective advertising material as quickly as possible, and inform the relevant authority about the security incident. Experts recommend the implementation of an Information Security Management System (ISMS), where rules are defined to permanently plan, implement, test, maintain and optimize information security.
6. Raising employee awareness: Employees are among the biggest security flaws in any company, therefore, it is advisable to sensitize employees sufficiently and to ensure that all have sufficient information security knowledge. This means, click fraud, SQL and XSS injection attacks should not be foreign words.
7. Preventing tracking attacks: Ad server operators must be guided by the concept of data economy - meaning they should only collect as much sensitive data as necessary for the delivery of advertising. No data should be collected and evaluated that could lead to security incidents. User data collected through tracking needs to be protected as well, since many website owners work with foreign ad server operators and marketers, which could access collected user data and misuse it in a targeted way.
8. Blacklists: To prevent the automated delivery of manipulated advertising media, ad server operators must use blacklists with those URLs that conceal defective content. This restricted list can be used to block access immediately, if an attacker should be able to link manipulated advertising.
9. Account verification and cooperation: To identify the people behind the advertiser, ad server operators must establish a process of verification. Anonymous accounts must be prevented, since they have often led to the use of stolen credit cards to place bad advertising. The verification process could be extended by further security measures, such as multi-factor authentication. | https://www.mediabuzz.com.sg/archive/2015/february/315-asian-e-marketing/may-2018-cybersecurity-data-protection/3529-security-tips-for-ad-server-operators |

Also, HJT message said to use LSPfix...... I downloaded that but it says "no problem found"
Thanks for the help by the way. I could not do this myself.
Firstly, hijackthis will not fix those 010 entries, as you have found out :). LSPfix should always be used to remove malware entries.
Secondly, those 010 entries are legitimate. They belong to Stopzilla.
Physically disconnect from the internet.
Now STOP all your monitoring programs (Antivirus/Antispyware, Guards and Shields) as they could easily interfere with ComboFix.
Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
When finished, it will produce a log. Please save that log to post in your next reply along with a fresh HJT log
Note:
Do not mouse-click combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

Based on Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS), isolates are part of two distinct but related genetic clusters.
ECDC and EFSA are liaising with relevant authorities in the Member States and at the EU level to facilitate the coordination of investigation and response measures.
From 1 May 2016 to 12 October 2016, seven EU/EEA countries have reported 112 confirmed cases belonging to two distinct WGS clusters, and 148 probable cases sharing the S . Enteritidis MLVA profiles 2-9-7-3-2 or 2-9-6-3-2.
Outbreak cases, both confirmed and probable, have been reported by Belgium, Denmark, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
Nine of the confirmed cases are associated with a travel history to Hungary or Poland, both of which countries are also considered to be affected by this outbreak.
In addition, Croatia reported a cluster of S . Enteritidis cases, including a fatal case, with an epidemiological link to the outbreak.
The characterisation of the Croatian isolates is currently ongoing.
The food safety authorities in Belgium, Croatia, the Netherlands and Scotland have carried out extensive environmental and food investigations to identify the source of this outbreak.
Since S. Enteritidis is mostly associated with chickens, the investigations focused, among other food items, on the tracing of eggs and chicken meat supply chains into food establishments where outbreak cases had reported eating.
As of 25 October 2016, these investigations showed that a number of food establishments and at least a retail chain in Croatia received eggs supplies from packing centre B in Poland.
Additionally, the cases in the Croatian cluster had consumed eggs originating from packing centre B in Poland.
Additional sampling of eggs intended for direct human consumption originating from the implicated Polish packing centre B was performed in the Netherlands in October 2016 yielding positive results for S. Enteritidis contamination.
Eight non-human S . Enteritidis isolates from the abovementioned eggs were found to have MLVA type 2-9-7-3-2 and to belong to the two WGS clusters associated with this outbreak.
S . Enteritidis isolates from food testing in Norway, sampled in May and November 2015 and identified through a company’s own check controls, were also demonstrated to be part of one of the WGS clusters defining the outbreak.
The isolates originated from unpasteurised (before processing) liquid eggs, which were made from fresh eggs imported to Norway from the Polish packing centre B.
The available evidence from WGS, food and environmental investigations, as well as from tracing-back investigation of eggs, establishes a link between this multi-country foodborne outbreak and the packing centre B in Poland, pointing at eggs as the most likely vehicle of infection for at least part of the outbreak cases.
Additional information from epidemiological, food and WGS investigations might bring further evidence on the possible vehicles and sources of infection associated with this outbreak.
The molecular typing of isolates deriving from other countries, not yet confirmed to be affected by this outbreak, could help in understanding the actual geographical distribution of the outbreak.
Competent authorities in Poland and in the Member States where eggs from the packing centre B were distributed, have already introduced restrictive measures to withdraw and stop placing implicated eggs on the market and investigations are ongoing to eliminate the source.
Due to the large outbreak that is currently ongoing, national authorities, particularly in affected countries, could also consider reminding food establishments and food providers of good practices for safely preparing and handling food at risk of Salmonella contamination.
In order to monitor the circulation of the outbreak strains and keep track of the number of affected countries, all EU/EEA countries should consider enhancing their surveillance for S. Enteritidis infections acquired within the EU/EEA.
It would be of particular value to perform MLVA typing and/or WGS.
To support the investigations in countries, ECDC and the European reference laboratory for Salmonella continue offering WGS services for isolates suspected to be linked to the outbreak, particularly if the isolates originate from countries not yet confirmed to be affected by this outbreak. | https://hygimia69.blogspot.com/2016/10/risk-assessment-multicountry-outbreak.html |

Palo Alto Networks continues to build on its success story with a strong Q3 this year. The business managed to boost its total revenue as well as Non-GAAP net income. Total revenue grew 29% YoY to $1.4B up from $1.1B in Q3 last year. Non-GAAP net income grew 38.42% to $193.1M from $139.5M. This boost in revenues and net income was attributable to the strong cybersecurity growth trends seen in the industry.
While it was not stated by the company directly, the war in Ukraine and other geopolitical conflicts are tailwinds for Palo Alto Networks. The US government issued alerts to businesses that they should expect a higher than the average number of cyberattacks by criminal and state-backed groups as retaliation for aiding Ukraine in the war. This means that US businesses are firmly in the crosshairs of hacker groups for the foreseeable future, and the frequency and severity of attacks are likely to only increase moving forward.
With 33% of Palo Alto Network’s revenue coming from the Americas region and being propelled by these tailwinds, the company felt confident in issuing the following guidance. For Q4 this year, the company expects revenue to grow between 25% to 27%, bringing it in the range of $1.53B to $1.55B. The company also expects its non-GAAP income per share to increase up to $2.29.
PANW’s stock price is currently down 14.82% and its struggling to maintain its share price. This is despite growing revenues and earnings YoY, which signals a worsening in consumer sentiment across the board, and not just with this stock individually. It currently trades significantly below the MarketBeat consensus price target of $628.56.
With the macro tailwinds of the war in Ukraine and the rising severity of cyber attacks, the company looks set to enjoy strong demand for its products and could therefore make up some lost ground with its earnings reports. As it stands now though, the stock is currently in a downwards trend, and has more downside potential in store. A lower stock price is therefore expected in the short-term.

This week, our co-founder and Chief Technology Officer Aaron Higbee had an opportunity to discuss the recent Google Docs phishing scam on The Charles Tendell Show.
“The Google Docs phishing incident left a lot of security vendors scratching their heads,” HigBee explains. “This was simple granting of permissions, not malicious attachments or links and it represents the future of phishing. Many apps already ask for permissions so the request won’t be seen as unusual when used in phishing.”
You can listen to the full radio interview here. The Charles Tendell show is hosted by hacking and cybersecurity expert Charles Tendell and is heard in more than 30 countries across the world, with an audience of more than 150,000 listeners.

Nearly 40 percent of business and IT leaders cite the lack of in-house expertise as their top cybersecurity challenge.
The best business leaders know they can’t hire their way out the problem. Instead, they are creating pipelines of cybersecurity resources within their organizations, and training them on the exact skills they need to defend their most important assets. To break down this evolution, we’ve assembled a panel of cybersecurity experts to cut through the noise and the jargon – and to get to the bottom of what business leaders should be doing to build their cyber teams today.
In this 60-minute webinar, we will have a vigorous debate over the true size of the cyber workforce shortage, as well as discussing how top organizations are building their own cyber resources and what skills they are prioritizing for tomorrow’s threats. Attendees will be able to answer: | https://t2000inc.com/technology-events/cybersecurity-webinar/ |
Android users who download a pirated copy of the Walk and Text app are strolling smack into trouble.
The rogue app, called Android. Walkinwat, is a corrupted version of the legitimate Android Walk and Text app, the security firm Symantec reported. Walk and Text, which can be found in many third-party app stores in North America and China, uses a smartphone's camera to show users what's in front of them as they're walking and texting.
Once Walkinwat is downloaded, a dialogue box appears on the user's phone that, according to Symantec, "gives the appearance that the app is in the process of being compromised or cracked, when, in fact, the app is gathering and attempting to send back sensitive data (name, phone number, IMEI information, etc.) to an external server."
This is far from the first instance of a corrupted Android app that harvests user data; in early March, a rogue piece of software called DroidDream was found in 58 apps, which were downloaded more than 200,000 times before being removed from the Android App Market.
But Walkinwat adds a personal twist to the typical smartphone scam. It seems whoever orchestrated the bad app to steal your data has an anti-piracy agenda of his own.
While it's installing, the Wakinwat app sends out a text message to everyone in the victim's contact list that reads: "Hey, just downloaded a pirated App off the Internet, Walk and Text for Android. Im stupid and cheap, it costed only 1 buck. Don't steal like I did!"
A follow-up message reads, "We really hope you learned something from this. Check your phone bill;) Oh and don't forget to buy the App from the Market."
Symantec said this is the first case in which a corrupted mobile application was used to scold people for piracy. | https://thehackernews.com/2011/03/fake-walk-and-text-app-steals-android.html |
The wait is over. It’s now possible to encrypt your WhatsApp chat history on both Android and iOS, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg . The company plans to roll out the feature slowly to ensure it can deliver a consistent and reliable experience to all users.
However, once you can access the feature, it will allow you to secure your backups before they hit iCloud or Google Drive. At that point, neither WhatsApp nor your cloud service provider will be able to access the files. It’s also worth mentioning you won’t be able to recover your backups if you ever lose the 64-digit encryption key that secures your chat logs. That said, it’s also possible to secure your backups behind a password, in which case you can recover that if you ever lose it.

While WhatsApp has allowed users to securely message each other since 2016, it only started testing encrypted backups . With today’s announcement, the company said it has taken the final step toward providing a full end-to-end encrypted messaging experience.
It’s worth pointing out that end-to-end encryption doesn’t guarantee your privacy will be fully protected. According to a published in August, Facebook was looking into an AI that could analyze encrypted data without having to decrypt it so that it could serve ads based on that information.

Here’s a quick comparison of six of the most popular anti-ransomware products. Given the recent increase in ransomware attacks, this should come in handy for many.
There are two types of Anti-Ransomware software: those that protect the system in real-time against incoming threats, and those that disinfect the system after a successful ransomware attack. The following overview of anti-ransomware programs looks at programs that have been designed specifically for the purpose.
It doesn’t include general purpose security software that includes ransomware protection as well. In addition, we decided not to include solutions for individual ransomware, e.g. removal tools that are designed to remove a particular ransomware from a system running Windows.
As far as prevention is concerned, there is more that users can do, for instance making sure they run up to date security software, do back ups of important data and keep the backups detached from the system, or use common sense.
Anti-Ransomware Software
The following programs are designed to protect against ransomware, and/or disinfect computer systems that are already infected.
The programs are sorted alphabetically, and a table at the end provides you with information on how they stack up against each other.
Bitdefender Anti-Ransomware Software
Bitdefender’s program runs silently in the background after it has been installed on a supported version of the Windows operating system.
It has been designed to protect the system against the CTB-Locker, Locky and TeslaCrypt crypto ransomware families.
According to Bitdefender, it will protect against known and possible future versions of these families.
CryptoPrevent
CryptoPrevent is a long standing program designed to protect the operating system in real-time against ransomware and other threats.
It displays options on first run to select a protection level which you may increase or decrease as you see fit. The higher the level the better the protection, but the more likely it is that false positives occur.
The program adds group policy objects to the Windows Registry that prevent executable files from running in certain locations on the system. It furthermore uses hash definitions, program filtering and logic based on certain attributes of executable files to determine whether it should be launched on the system.
HitmanPro. Alert
HitmanPro. Alert is on first glance an anti-exploit program which should help against certain ransomware attacks as well.
But instead of stopping there, it includes protection against CryptoGuard ransomware as well. The program requires a valid HitmanPro license.
Interestingly enough, its feature set makes it quite the unique tool even if you compare it against other anti-exploit software such as EMET or Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit.
HitmanPro. Kickstart
HitmanPro. Kickstart is a complementary software for HitmanPro that you can boot from to run HitmanPro to remove ransomware infections from the Windows operating system installed on the PC.
It has been designed specifically to remove lock screen ransomware from the computer system.
Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware (Beta)
Malwarebytes’ program is currently offered as a beta that is free to install. It is unclear right now if the program will remain free after the beta or may be integrated in the company’s other products.
Apart from preventing infections from known ransomware such as CryptoLocker, CryptoWall, CTBLocker and Tesla, it implements something the developers call proactive protection against ransomware.
Malwarebytes Anti-Ransomware uses advanced proactive technology that monitors what ransomware is doing and stops it cold before it even touches your files. It has no shot at encrypting. And it does not rely on signatures or heuristics, so it’s light and completely compatible with antivirus.
The program needs to run on the computer system to block ransomware from attacking the computer successfully.
Trend Micro Anti-Ransomware Tool
Trend Micro’s program for Windows has been designed specifically for lock screen ransomware. It refers to ransomware that limits user access to the computer.
The company has released two versions of the program for home users. The first can be used if the ransomware blocks access to the operating system only, but not to Safe Mode with Networking.
You can run the tool in Safe Mode with Networking then to remove the threat from the system and restore its full functionality.
The second version of the program is provided as a bootable USB version which you can run if both Safe Mode and regular mode are blocked by the ransomware. | http://newsblog.wti.com/index.php/2016/03/anti-ransomware-software-overview/ |

Two Canadian banks have announced that cybercriminals may have made off with the data of up to 90,000 of the banks’ customers in apparent security breaches, according to a CBC.ca report.
Online bank Simplii Financial revealed on Monday that it had been tipped off on Sunday that attackers had accessed the personal and account information of 40,000 customers. Meanwhile, Reuters wrote that the fraudsters themselves contacted the lender, which has around two million customers and is a direct banking brand of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC).
While not confirming the breach, Michael Martin, Senior Vice-President at Simplii Financial, said in a statement that the bank is taking the information seriously and that it has implemented measures to further enhance the bank’s monitoring and security procedures.
A few hours later, Bank of Montreal (BMO) announced that it had been contacted by fraudsters who claimed to be in possession of personal data belonging to BMO’s customers. It is thought that the information of up to 50,000 of the bank’s eight million customers were compromised.
“We took steps immediately when the incident occurred and we are confident that exposures identified related to customer data have been closed off,” said the bank.
The lender also said that the incident was followed by a threat to make the data public. “A threat was made. Our practice is not to make payments to fraudsters. We are focused on protecting and helping our customers,” reads BMO’s statement as quoted by CTV News.
The bank believes that the attack originated from outside the country and that it appears related to the incident at Simplii Financial.
Meanwhile, a number of media outlets in Canada also received emails on Monday in which someone who claimed to be in possession of the stolen information threatened to sell the data unless the banks forked out a $1-million ransom each “by 11:59 p.m.”.
“Criminals will use Simplii and BMO client information(s) to apply for products credit using social insurance number, date of birth and all other personnal info,” reads the imperfectly-phrased email as quoted by CBC.ca.
The missive also contains a sample of personal data thought stolen that belong to a man from Ontario and a woman from British Columbia. When approached by CBC.ca, the woman affirmed that the information (name, date of birth, social insurance number, and account balance) as accurate.
Both BMO and Simplii Financial’s owner, CIBC, said that they have reached out to relevant authorities and that thorough investigations are under way. Canada’s fourth and fifth biggest lender, respectively, BMO and CIBC also said that they will be contacting customers and recommended that clients should monitor their accounts. | https://www.welivesecurity.com/2018/05/29/two-canadian-banks-attackers-customer-data/ |

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein used the encrypted phone of the Texas shooting suspect to argue against tech companies encrypting data in a way that law enforcement could not later access.
“[N]o reasonable person questions our right to access the phone,” he said, giving keynote remarks at a breakfast in Linthicum, Md.
The FBI has announced that Texas church shooter Devin Kelley’s iPhone was encrypted, leaving them unable to access data on the phone for their investigation.
{mosads}
Almost as soon as the FBI made the announcement, the cybersecurity community began to speculate that this would be the next front in the so-called “crypto wars,” an argument between tech companies, security advocates and the government over encryption so complex the government would need to spend decades of computer time in order to crack.
Rosenstein and Attorney General Jeff Sessions have argued throughout the Trump administration that tech companies either need to weaken or subvert the encryption process so that law enforcement can access cellphone data. Before that, through the Obama administration, former FBI Director James Comey made the same argument.
Rosenstein made note of the last skirmish in the crypto wars in his speech, a work iPhone used by the attacker in a 2016 terrorist shooting in San Bernadino, Calif.
“[T]he FBI obtained the consent of the phone’s legal owner — the San Bernardino County government — and also obtained a search warrant. But the data on the phone was encrypted, and Apple refused to help the FBI access the data. Ultimately, the government found a way to access the data. But considerable time and resources were spent on that difficult task,” he said.
Comey termed the problem “going dark.”
Apple has said it immediately reached out to the FBI to offer assistance getting information off of Kelley’s cellphone. This was not mentioned in Rosenstein’s speech.
“When you shoot dozens of innocent American citizens, we want law enforcement to investigate your communications and stored data,” he said.
“We expect police and prosecutors to investigate such horrendous crimes. There are things that we need to know.”
Encryption and counter-terrorism experts, including former heads of the National Security Agency (NSA), CIA and Department of Homeland Security, argue that creating such “back doors” is a much greater security risk than hindering investigations.
Hackers, they say, may either capitalize on the back doors by researching weaknesses or by targeting government agencies tasked with guarding the keys. Many argue that the recent “ShadowBrokers” leak of NSA hacking tools demonstrates an inability to keep even the most closely-guarded secrets out of the public’s hands. | https://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/359575-rosenstein-uses-texas-shooter-to-lobby-for-encryption-backdoors/ |
Fact: Porn sites are bad places to visit in the workplace. And yet I have seen executives in major corporations sit at their desk with the monitor facing the hallway watching porn. I have seen my IT colleagues yank Internet privilege for users who download and store movies on servers. I have seen malware by the ton come in through porn sites. "Would you like to run AKSDKLLS.EXE?" is usually a bad thing indeed, and users religiously hit the NO button which is probably encoded to read NO on the screen but installs the keyboard logger in the background anyway.
A troublesome client call last week provoked a darker trend in security. This client has one system (of three) that always has malware. At one time it was infected by malware that set the HIDE attribute on every single file on his computer, so it took me two hours to clean it out. In the process, I was advised by the user that the business owner tends to open up every single email link he receives, which is asking for continual hell.
When the client call came in, the system was again locked up. Only this time his system was locked on boot to an FBI website page indicating his IP was blacklisted and for $200 he could get it cleaned up — on a credit card! Knowing that the FBI does not do that — they show up at the front door with guns — this was yet another malware infestation. So I began cleaning it out with good old RKILL, ComboFix, and then MALWAREBYTES scanning. Bored, I also noticed something odd in the My Documents folder.
A great many files (not temp) were marked as HIDDEN once again, so I presumed that virus as mentioned above was still resident, possibly as a rootkit. Joy! More hours of work. But as I examined the hidden files, I saw that many were PowerPoint files with names such as SHERRI IN SPAIN or some such thing. Now we are entering a whole new land as there were about 100 of these things, and also compressed in ZIP files, all individually hidden with odd creation dates. As Sherlock Holmes would say, "Elementary, dear Watson: we have a porn browser here." This user, not the business owner, is the Moriarty who consciously downloads tripe and then marks it hidden. It takes time to do this and some smarts as most people do not know that old feature from DOS. I opened one and saw that Sherri is, indeed, quite happy, and closed it fast.
I showed the owner and documented to his eyes what his fine fellow was doing. I was ordered to clean it out, which I did, and also advised the owner to talk with his employee. I advised the owner that this was putting his entire business at risk as he sells medical insurance policies. We are talking HIPAA security rules here too. Management of staff is his business, not mine, so I left with a check and an embarrassed owner.
Darker thoughts intruded on my drive home. The ladies being displayed were of age, but what if instead of being 26 they were 16 or 6! I almost drove off the road at that one. The security aspect alone being set aside, my role as a consultant also comes into play. What are our responsibilities for security and consulting if we EVER find child porn on a user's system? I was stunned to even consider the idea and very shaken up. Reading the newspaper, we all know it happens but to other people, right?
Perhaps the computer gods were on my side, for the next day, I found some new ransomeware released called "ANTI-CHILD PORN SPAM PROTECTION." It pretends to be from a legitimate government source stating that your computer is sending out child porn spam links by email. It tells you that it has encrypted your data to protect you (yeah, right) and for $500 to $1000 a MoneyPak or PaySafe card you can get the password for your files. The program is launched IMMED on boot. IF you can CDRom boot, look for C:\DVSDLK\SVCHOST.EXE and delete this to regain your desktop.
The Anti-Child Porn Spam Protection ransomware will also create a Windows service with a service name of fdPHosts, a display name of Function Discovery Provider Host Records, and an imagepath of C:\WINDOWS\system32\svschost.exe. This service will run in the background creating password-protected copies of new data files that are created on the computer and then delete the originals. Therefore, once you regain access to your computer, you should immediately disable this service.
This type of ransomware was very close to what my client had.
The issue of finding disturbing, possibly even criminal, data on client computers is something that a consultant may have to confront when investigating security issues, like malware infestations. It carries with it additional security risks and severe legal implications as well, both for the client and for the individual consultant. Handled correctly, it can be at least a one-sided devastating experience for the client and not impact the IT professional.
The following are my suggested take-away points.
First, there must a disclosure statement signed by the client in ADVANCE of any work. A colleague involved with a consulting franchise uses a work order signed by the client per visit. It must state that the consultant will only BROWSE data and, secondly, only install software approved by the client. This ensures that the consultant cannot be blamed for dumping porn or anything else onto the system.
Secondly, document your findings if you find "porn" of any nature. If adult-themed, immediately advise your client in detail as I did for my client. Do NOT open more than one file if you can do so, just to verify the existence of data. Show the client what you are doing. Stress that the data was present BEFORE you even walked into the door. My client did ask me if this stuff just "comes in" over the web, and while it can, the protocols in my case worked against that. Be clear and precise.
Third, educate the client on malware and the security risks that are associated with such data. HIPAA alone qualifies as a major red flag. It must be made clear that his or her business is at legal risk! (Is your lawyer on your rolodex?) They may not know what a keylogger does, so educate them!
In my case, the situation stopped here when the client ordered me to remove everything I could find, which I did, and pronounced the system clean of obviously questionable data. This qualifies as "best effort" which is about a 95% guarantee. Advise the client that all obvious data candidates have been deleted and, if possible, sign your work order to that effect.
Worst-case scenario
If child pornography (or anything of a criminal nature) is found, my colleague's consulting franchise has specific instructions. DO NOTHING, stop all work. Get up from the computer then and there. You have to be careful here. Although this franchise's rules say to inform the client what you have found and then call the police, also consider stepping into a side room to call the police before informing the client, especially if you suspect that it is the client who is culpable. The risk of physical injury is very, very real. Tell the client, based upon your best interest on this score, but do not leave the client's office. Stay present. When the police arrive, detail your discovery, and tell the truth to the authorities. This is a criminal act and should be treated as such. You just became part of the legal process too. There will be a court action so document your work and keep it in detail. You may need to testify.
Tough situation isn't it? I hope we never find such data on our client's computers. As an IT security pro or consultant, have you ever had to face a situation like this? Do you have clear guidelines about what to do and what not to do from your organization?

Advertisement The State of Information Security Fri, 02/15/2013 - 10:07am Comments By PwC Information security has always been a high-stakes game. One that demands a smart strategy, the right technology moves, and an unblinking eye on adversaries. For many businesses, however, it has become a pursuit that is almost impossible to win. That’s because the rules have changed, and opponents — old and new — are armed with expert technology skills. As a result, the risks are greater than ever.
Businesses are fighting back by adopting new detection and prevention technologies. At the same time, governments around the world are enacting legislation to combat cyber threats. And regulatory bodies are issuing new guidance on disclosure obligations for cyber incidents. Yet risks to data security continue to intensify — and show no signs of abating. Those keeping score agree that the bad guys appear to be in the lead.
Nonetheless, many businesses believe they are winning. The Global State of Information Security Survey 2013 shows that most executives in the global industrial products industry are confident in the effectiveness of their information security practices. They believe their strategies are sound and many consider themselves to be leaders in the field.
The odds, however, are not in their favor: Diminished budgets have resulted in degraded security programs, reported security incidents are on the rise, and new technologies are being adopted faster than they can be safeguarded. Given today’s elevated threat environment, businesses can no longer afford to play a game of chance. They must prepare to play a new game, one that requires advanced levels of skill and strategy to win.
PwC US released the 2013 Global State of Information Security Survey with key findings on information security issues facing the industrial products industry. The report includes 775 respondents from the industrial products industry, which shows that most industrial products executives are feeling good about their approach to information security, and many consider themselves to be leaders in the field.
Industrial products respondents are confident in their security practices. 40 percent of industry respondents say their organization has a strategy in place and is proactive in executing it — exhibiting two distinctive attributes of a leader.
Many industrial products respondents are over-confident in their organization’s security program. 70 percent of respondents are confident that they have instilled effective security behaviors into their organization’s culture, yet most do not have a process in place to handle third-party breaches.
Security plans for manufacturing control systems have declined significantly. The number of industrial products respondents who have security policies for manufacturing control systems dropped 23 percent over last year.
Technology adoption is moving faster than security implementation. Industrial products companies are struggling to keep pace with the adoption of cloud computing, social networking, mobility, and use of personal devices. These new technologies often are not included in overall security plans even though they are widely used.
What You Can Do To Improve Your Performance
Information security today is a rapidly evolving game of advanced skill and strategy. As a result, the security models of the past decade are no longer effective. Effective security requires a new way of thinking. The very survival of the business demands that security leaders understand, prepare for, and quickly respond to security threats. Businesses seeking to strengthen their security practice must:
Implement a comprehensive risk-assessment strategy and align security investments with identified risks.
Understand their organization’s information, who wants it, and what tactics adversaries might use to get it.
Understand that information security requirements — and, indeed, overall strategies for doing business — have reached a turning point.
Embrace a new way of thinking in which information security is both a means to protect data as well as an opportunity to create value to the business.

Radio-frequency controllers used in the construction, mining and shipping industries are dangerously vulnerable to hackers, making the devices prime targets for attacks that could shut down operations and possibly hurt workers, Trend Micro says in new report.
RF controllers, which are critical for safety, often use proprietary communication protocols that haven't kept pace with security threats. An attacker could spend less than $2,000 to build a battery-powered, coin-sized device that can take over an industrial device, Trend Micro claims.
The results from such an attack could be unavailable equipment, financial losses, and at worst, human injuries. The affected vendors include Saga, Juuko, Gain Electronic Co. Ltd., Telecrane, and Hetronic, Trend Micro reports.
"Unfortunately, we found a complete lack of security in the design of these devices, leaving millions of vulnerable units installed on heavy industrial machinery open to local and remote attacks unless patched promptly," the information security company says in an 82-page technical report released Tuesday and in an accompanying blog.

Trend Micro says it has notified the affected vendors and that some have already deployed patches or plan to upgrade their security defenses.
During on-site tests, Trend Micro researchers say they were able to quickly use software vulnerabilities "to move full-sized cranes deployed in production at construction sites, factories and transportation businesses."
Ironically, Trend Micro claims that commercial garage door openers are more secure than millions of RF controllers deployed for industrial purposes.
Garage remotes, for example, employ rolling code, which prevents would-be attackers from being able to replay the identical packets at a later time to open the garage door. Without rolling code, an attacker could record commands that start or stop a piece of equipment, then play back the command at another time.
Local And Remote Attacks
The researchers analyzed RF controllers manufactured by seven vendors. None of those vendors implemented "proper security measures, making attacks possible both locally and remotely," Trend Micro claims.
By reverse-engineering communication protocols, the researchers identified five classes of attacks, four of which it estimates could be carried out for $2,000 or less, as seen below.

Many vendors, by default, rely on security-by-obscurity, but that's a risky strategy that relies on attackers not spending too much time mapping the system, Trend Micro says. So far, there is scant public documentation on exactly how many RF controllers work, aside from some leaked schematics and some user manuals. As a result, there hasn't been much publicly released research into RF controller security.
Attackers who can't successfully reverse-engineer an RF protocol, however, may still be able to launch a replay attack, which might give them basic control over a device. Another low-cost attack is simply to stop a device by sending a repeating command - essentially executing a denial-of-service attack.
"We simply consider that, to carry out our attacks, a budget of a few hundred U.S. dollars is sufficient for the replay and e-stop abuse attacks, whereas the other attacks might require the attacker to obtain a copy of the target device, whose price ranges from a hundred to a few thousand U.S. dollars," the researchers say.

The cost to mount attacks has recently declined thanks to platforms such as Arduino, which Trend Micro says allows for the construction of modular hardware tools with the same flexibility as a software-defined radio. In fact, the researchers used it to build their own custom, lightweight hacking device, which they call RFQuack; it can sniff and send RF packets.
"From a research perspective, this is a step forward in terms of tools," Trend Micro says. "From a risk perspective, this lowers the barrier for an attacker."
Ditch Proprietary Protocols
One of the bigger-picture problems with insecure RF controllers mirrors the internet of things device security challenge: Many get deployed and might remain in use for a long time, due to the high cost of replacing a device or simply because such devices are forgotten about until they break, Trend Micro says.
"They're assembled from the vendor, configured - usually by system integrators - according to the clients' requests (e.g., which button does what action), installed at the facilities or equipment and forgotten until they break down," the researchers say.
Patching is often possible, but that remedial action can be stymied by an organization not willing to absorb downtime costs and experience business disruption. Also, the potential for digital attacks in some of these industries hasn't really been considered by users, Trend Micro says.
The researchers recommend that RF vendors to move away from the proprietary protocols on which they have so long relied and instead embrace open standards, such as Bluetooth Low Energy. Some vendors have already started making devices that use the 2.4GHz band used by Bluetooth Low Energy - as with Bluetooth before it - oftentimes to reduce interference and limit range.
Researchers also recommend vendors ensure that their firmware updates remain secure by using over-the-air updates that can accommodate distributed key exchange schemes, which ensures that only digitally signed firmware can be installed. Also, Trend Micro recommends that vendors implement tamper-control mechanisms that would hamper potential attackers reverse-engineering their wares.

When it comes to protecting data from cyber attacks, information technology (IT) specialists who defend computer networks face attackers armed with some advantages. For one, while attackers need only find one vulnerability in a system to gain network access and disrupt, corrupt, or steal data, the IT personnel must constantly guard against and work to mitigate varied and myriad network intrusion attempts.
The team working on a robust rerandomization technique for protecting networks from cyber attacks is, left to right, James Landry, David Bigelow, Hamed Okhravi, William Streilein, and Robert Rudd. Photo: Glen Cooper
The homogeneity and uniformity of software applications have traditionally created another advantage for cyber attackers. "Attackers can develop a single exploit against a software application and use it to compromise millions of instances of that application because all instances look alike internally," said Hamed Okhravi, a senior staff member in the Cyber Security and Information Sciences Division at Lincoln Laboratory. To counter this problem, cyber security practitioners have implemented randomization techniques in operating systems. These techniques, notably Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR), diversify the memory locations used by each instance of the application at the point at which the application is loaded into memory.
In response to randomization approaches like ASLR, attackers developed information leakage attacks, also called memory disclosure attacks. Through these software assaults, attackers can make the application disclose how its internals have been randomized while the application is running. Attackers then adjust their exploits to the application's randomization and successfully hijack control of vulnerable programs. "The power of such attacks has ensured their prevalence in many modern exploit campaigns, including those network infiltrations in which an attacker remains undetected and continues to steal data in the network for a long time," explained Okhravi, who added that methods for bypassing ASLR, which is currently deployed in most modern operating systems, and similar defenses can be readily found on the Internet.
Okhravi and colleagues David Bigelow, Robert Rudd, James Landry, and William Streilein, and former staff member Thomas Hobson, have developed a unique randomization technique, Timely Address Space Randomization (TASR), to counter information leakage attacks that may thwart ASLR protections. To disallow an information leakage attack, TASR immediately rerandomizes the memory's layout every time it observes an application processing an output and input pair. "Information may leak to the attacker on any given program output without anybody being able to detect it, but TASR ensures that the memory layout is rerandomized before the attacker has an opportunity to act on that stolen information, and hence denies them the opportunity to use it to bypass operating system defenses," Bigelow said. Because TASR's rerandomization is based upon application activity and not upon a set timing (say every so many minutes), an attacker cannot anticipate the interval during which the leaked information might be used to send an exploit to the application before randomization recurs.
TASR is the first technology that mitigates an attacker's ability to leverage information leakage against ASLR, irrespective of the mechanism used to leak information.
Robert Rudd
When TASR determines that the rerandomization must be performed, it pauses the running application, injects a randomizer component that performs the actual rewriting of code, then deletes the randomizer component from the application's memory, and resumes the application. This process protects the randomizer from infiltration. To change the memory layout of a running application without causing a crash, TASR updates all memory addresses stored in the application during rerandomization.
TASR has several advantages over other randomization techniques. It protects against all existing types of information leaks for memory corruption attacks, regardless of the specific method of attack (e.g., viruses, email phishing, access via the Internet) or type of vulnerability (e.g., logic flaws, race conditions, buffer overflows). TASR is flexible: it is compatible with full standard C language, does not require additional hardware, and is backward-compatible with legacy systems. Finally, performance evaluations carried out by the research team showed that the fully automated TASR technique incurs a low execution overhead of only about 2.1%.
The research team has published details on the development of the TASR technique and their assessments of its effectiveness in the Proceedings of the 22nd ACM SIGSAC Conference on Computer and Communications Security. They are now pursuing opportunities to transition the technology into operational systems and have already taken some of the foundational concepts behind TASR and applied them to additional prototypes. They also plan to release portions of the TASR system under an open-source license.

Google revealed today that "hundreds" of Gmail accounts were compromised in a nasty spear phishing attack that targeted high-profile U.S. military and government officials, among others.
The news came on a day when Northrop Grumman joined Lockheed Martin and L-3 Communications on the list of defense contractors who appear to have been hacked in an event unrelated to the Gmail invasion.
Meanwhile, MacRumors reported that a new variant of the Mac Defender Trojan hit the streets within 8 hours of Apple's security update.
The Official Google Blog says, "This campaign, which appears to originate from Jinan, China, affected what seem to be the personal Gmail accounts of hundreds of users including, among others, senior U.S. government officials, Chinese political activists, officials in several Asian countries (predominantly South Korea), military personnel, and journalists."
This isn't Google's first problem in China, and Google's internal systems weren't affected, the company said. But it advised Gmail users to check their forwarding and access settings, be on alert for "suspicious activity" warnings in Gmail, and strengthen their security practices through two-step verification and strong passwords.
Along with "the strength of our cloud-based security and abuse detection systems," the post's author, Eric Grosse of the Google Security Team, credited user reports and Mila Parkour's Contagio Malware Dump blog for uncovering the cyberattack.
Back in February, Parkour provided all the details of the breach, including what a spoofed mail looks like and what to do about it. Her examples showed invaded Gmail accounts of people involved in military, political, and diplomatic activities.
How does military and diplomatic mail end up in a Gmail account instead of a .gov or .mil address? "Some people have a habit of forwarding messages from enterprise accounts to their personal mail for saving or easy reading at home," Parkour notes. The cybersleuth took advantage of weaker security protections and home's "relaxed atmosphere, which helps to catch the victim off guard."
Customized Phony Mail
Parkour described the phony mails as "customized and individualized for each target," sent from the spoofed address of an individual or agency known to the targeted user.
A "view download" link instead led to a fake Gmail login page, Parkour said. Once the invaders harvested each user's credentials, they were able to redirect mail to another account, read incoming and outgoing mail, and gather info. Details like a spouse's name or references to meetings were used to craft additional messages that were "plausible enough to generate responses or conversations from victims."
Meanwhile, the cheerful folks at Fox News point out that defense contractors have access to top-secret computer systems that do things like launch unarmed Predator drones. If military IT organizations can't keep thieves and bad guys out, what hope is there for the rest of us?

The identities of 250 survivors of historical institutional abuse (HIA) havebeen exposed in a data breach, it has been confirmed.
A newsletter was circulated in an email by the HIA Interim Advocate's Office on Friday which revealed the names of recipients in error.
The email was sent on behalf of the Interim Advocate for victims and survivors of historical institutional abuse Brendan McAllister, whose office has been accused of breaching GDPR and privacy rights.
A solicitor for a number of the victims said he has written to Mr McAllister.
Solicitor Owen Beattie from KRW Law said: "Obviously there are hugelysensitive concerns arising from this leak which need addressed as a matter of extreme urgency.
"I can confirm that we've written to the Interim Advocates Office and wouldhope to get the necessary assurances that immediate steps are taken to remedy the breach.
"It's vital that victims and survivors are assured that nothing will impedetheir redress applications with the HIA.
"This ought to remain the most important issue for them at this stressfultime."
In a statement, Mr McAllister confirmed the data breach at his office andissued an apology to those affected.
He said that measures were immediately taken to recall the email and theincident was reported to the Information Commissioner.
Mr McAllister said: "I would like to apologise for the disclosure of emaildetails.
"We have been in touch with all concerned to inform them of this unfortunatedevelopment.
"Steps are also being taken to investigate how this data breach occurred."
Jon McCourt, from the campaign group Survivors North West, said he has received numerous calls from victims who are concerned that their privacy and confidentiality has been compromised.
Engaging with the HIA Inquiry and any of its attributes was a very personal decision for many. Before this, they discussed it very little, if at all. To take the step to then address this issue from the past took courage and a lot of trust in those they engaged with. This is what has been damaged through this incident.
Jon McCourt, Survivors North West
He continued: "The effort to recall the email would indicate that somehow there was an awareness that something had gone wrong.
"I am assuming that the list of email addresses was pasted into the 'CC' boxon the email rather than the 'BCC' box where they would have gone individually to recipients with just their own email on it.
"Unfortunately, that didn't happen. As a result, a lot of vulnerable peoplenow have had their email addresses shared within the recipients and quiterightly feel exposed."
Marty Adams, of the Survivors Together group, said: "Today I have beencontacted, again, by some on the email list, stating that others who were on the list, who before this never knew they existed, have been sending them emails.
"There are serious issues around Data Protection which are concerning to allof us.
"This has shaken quite a few and is the direct result of at least an error ofjudgment.
"Contact details were given in confidence to the HIA Interim Advocates officeso that victims and survivors could be updated with progress on the RedressProcess and the establishment of future services.
"They have a right to expect to have their identity, including their emailaddresses, treated with confidence. The HIA Interim Advocate need to urgently investigate what went wrong and do whatever necessary to mitigate its impact." | https://www.itv.com/news/utv/2020-05-23/identities-of-historical-abuse-exposed-in-email-data-breach |
The TechNet UK IT pro team have been running a very successful competition over the summer. The aim is to promote the Microsoft Virtual Academy and drive IT Pros to its content in a structured way, with a fun approach to the competition. The MVA Heroes.
It is a universal truth that IT Pros love free stuff or Swag as it is known. They love prizes like laptops and phones even more!
The competition is over but the collection of the MVA Super hero collection goes on. We have sent many hundreds out to the eager beaver students whom complete courses that qualify them for one of the six figurine stress toys.
Well last month our marketing manager Dan Pilling attended our annual marketing extravaganza known as MGX – it was a special occasion for Dan as he won a very special award and was inducted into the Platinum club. Dan decided to post a picture of one of the figurines on his plane seat and with celebrities he bumped into at the conference.
See here, so that got me thinking. I spent last week in Seattle on an internal Technical conference so I took my hard earned Super Heroes with me and decided I would try and do a little better.
Finally my favourite Hero meets a very famous person.
The first comments that identify the hero and the Tech Celebrity win a bit of swag from my collection.
More importantly why not take your hero or your MVA Hero T Shirt when you travel, send me pictures and who knows you may pick up some special Tech Swag… if its far enough away that is. Seattle was 4589 miles away, can you do better?
The post MVA Heroes on tour appeared first on Blogg(Ed). | https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/uktechnet/2014/08/06/mva-heroes-on-tour/ |
CIO Larry Jones has seen his share of change over more for than 30 years working in healthcare IT. But the group CIO of Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies (JJMDC) believes recent IT advances are fueling digital transformations that will open whole new horizons for health care.
“We believe we’re taking some early steps to be more than just a device company,” Jones says. “We want to be a technology company.”
To make good on that, JJMDC is collaborating with Microsoft to build a state-of-the-art digital surgical platform on Azure that aims to revolutionize medical procedures and enable connectivity of IoT devices, dashboards, and instruments used during procedures.
The recently announced partnership will see JJMDC using Azure artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analysis tools in support of a host of IoT devices used by doctors and nurses connected via an IoT hub to transform the company’s five-year-old surgical platform.
“The cloud is the catalyst,” Jones says, noting the mountain of data piling up from the expanding number of IoT devices in use during medical procedures — ranging from automated sensors on patients to IP-enabled intelligent medical instrumentation that generate real-time data — has inspired a needed redesign of JJMDC’s existing platform.
The move comes amid a boom in worldwide healthcare provider IT spending, which is expected to reach $171.8 billion in 2025, up from $121.7 billion last year, according to Gartner.
In addition to Azure AI and Azure IoT Hub, JJMDC’s multiyear project will lean on Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365, as well as Azure Cloud for Healthcare and the Azure Health Connector.
But innovations such as JJMDC’s digital surgical platform face unique challenges in a bid to transform health care, analysts and healthcare CIOs say.
The promise (and challenges) of digital surgical platforms
When complete, JJMDC’s digital surgical platform will enable healthcare professionals to leverage Microsoft machine learning and data insights to create personalized surgical and treatment plans, Jones says. JJMDC has already used a Microsoft AI algorithm for a medical instrument that seals blood vessels during surgery.
According to Microsoft, its AI and machine learning will enable JJDMC’s platform to extract data from a patient’s history to spot complications that may arise during a procedure and assist medical teams in determining whether a patient is at higher risk for specific diseases.
The JJMDC platform is aimed at surgeons, nurses, physical therapists, and care managers, giving them a comprehensive patient view from a common dashboard.
But enabling seamless connectivity among connected tools used in the diagnostic and surgical cycle — next-generation robotics, smart IoT instruments, advanced 3D imaging and visualization, and AI/ML — is no easy task, says Lee David Milligan, M.D. and CIO at Asante Health Systems in Medford, Ore.
“We have disjointed technology, data, and workflows throughout [operating rooms] across the country. Efforts to unify and connect data will bring a host of challenges and possibilities,” Milligan says. “In this particular case, the effort looks to connect medical devices and leverage Azure powered AI. In the end, the success or failure will depend upon whether there is a clear understanding of the clinical and operational problems that need solving.”
Jesus Delgado, vice president and CIO of Community Healthcare in Indiana, agrees that the rise of IoT-enabled devices in healthcare presents unique challenges.
“Healthcare systems depend extensively on biomedical devices to capture and monitor patient medical information. However, the work effort to manage medical data that is captured has become increasingly complicated,” Delgado says, adding that the addition of cloud-enabled AI and machine learning adds to these concerns. “A close partnership with healthcare CIOs is going to be paramount to the success of innovation in this space. As new innovation is explored, we can’t lose sight of the complexity in hospital operations.”
Asante’s Milligan notes that healthcare innovations, such as JJMDC’s surgical platform, must move beyond being technology for technology’s sake, and instead support and augment clinical and operational needs. “What are the specific intended use cases? How will these use cases tie into the technology and, ultimately, the ROI?” Milligan asks. “If these questions can be answered with clarity, they will be off to a great start.”
A new era for healthcare
J&J currently delivers a robotic-based knee replacement surgical platform and AI/ML tools that deliver more precise readings of lung scans. The digital surgical platform under development will employ robotics and automation, but the added value of seamlessly internetworked IoT devices and AI is aimed to generate unprecedented data insights that optimize surgical performance and elevate pre-op and post-op outcomes.
“It’s beyond the robot,” JJMDC’s Jones says. “What we are looking at is certainly an IoT platform facilitated by integration from an IoT Hub or cloud gateway that supports ERP integration, patient-level data, and harnessing that data into a storage for that procedure. We want to marry together procedure and performance data from the device to perform insights.”
During procedures, for instance, the digital platform will be designed to give surgeons access to an information-rich dashboard that generates medical insights and recommendations, 3D views of organs, and response to techniques, as well as pre-op and post-op health analytics on the patient, Jones says.
For healthcare IT, the aim is to help ease the burden of dealing with massive amounts of clinical data and connected IoT devices, as well as ensuring compliance with data, security, and privacy regulations, he adds. “Advances in cloud technology offers the opportunity for us to integrate those things and create an experience that hopefully addresses many of those challenges,” Jones says.
Given that it is still early days for the multiyear project, industry observers are taking a wait-and-see approach to JJMDC’s digital platform, but they applaud the efforts.
“J&J is realizing that it’s time for them to put a put a foundational underlying architecture underneath these things to allow them to intercommunicate and they’re just saying that they’ve selected Microsoft to be that enabling underlying technology that will help create this Johnson & Johnson ecosystem,” says Gartner analysts Gregg Pessin.
In the long run, J&J’s $25 billion medical products group and competitors such as Siemens and GE Healthcare will create interoperability among their respective devices to simplify the process of interconnectivity, Pessin predicts.
In addition to the AI, automation, and computational gains, such digital surgical platforms and dashboards are being increasingly integrated into clinical workflows, Pessin says, adding that reliability must be 100% — the four 9s in enterprise computing won’t cut it in life and death surgical applications.
“There’s been a growing need over time, but we’re getting to this tipping point where the infrastructure is becoming part of critical path for care delivery,” Pessin says. “We’re at this precipice — the dawn of a new era of healthcare is coming.”

The hurdles IT leaders will face in 2022 at first glance seem familiar: finding and retaining top talent, bolstering security, and creating friendly and robust remote work environments. But the ongoing pandemic has heightened these challenges.
[ Editor’s note: For a look at this year’s biggest IT issues, see “Top 9 challenges IT leaders will face in 2023.” ]
The skills gap has been exacerbated by the Great Resignation. Support for distributed teams, once a business priority, is now a necessity. Securing employees’ personal mobile devices and other equipment for remote work has gained significance as the number of these devices skyrocketed as offices emptied.
Along with these concerns, new ones have appeared, including an abundance of pandemic-driven burnout and a shortage of the chips that drive IT and industry as a whole.
See how tech leaders plan to address their biggest concerns for 2022.
Competition for talent
The most frequent challenge tech leaders told us they’ll see in 2022 is finding great IT staff. Dan Zimmerman, CIO and chief product officer of TreviPay, says competition will be fierce for top talent in the next year. And while distributed workforces have enlarged the talent pool, there’s not enough people with the necessary skills available.
“The pandemic sparked many people to re-evaluate their career paths,” Zimmerman says. “While balancing the cost to attract top talent, we also recognize many workers want to be in-office or be offered a hybrid working solution. This means our offices have to accommodate multiple types of workers — for example, videoconferencing capabilities in every meeting room — and our job descriptions will showcase this type of flexibility. It will be important to listen and gather feedback on what is and isn’t working as we’re all learning as we go.”
Ginna Raahauge, CIO at Zayo, says those with technical skills to drive digital transformation are getting harder to land. Meanwhile, the need for those skills have grown during the pandemic.
“Very technically skilled workers who have experience with cloud environments, machine learning, data science, and software have always been in demand at tech companies, but now those skills are in demand at nearly every company, creating greater competition to land top-notch developers, software engineers, and data analysts,” she says. “Beyond that tech talent demand, there’s also just a general dearth of quality candidates across most industries at the moment tied to this Great Resignation trend that’s received a lot of media attention. Not having the right people in place puts pressure on how fast any company can move regardless of if you have the budget. If you don’t have the talent, you can’t do what you prioritize.”
Skillset mismatch
Most business leaders see a gap in skills between their current employees’ capabilities and key areas necessary for success in the next three to five years, such as data science, digital transformation, and innovation, says Suneet Dua, US products and technology chief growth officer at PwC.
“This presents a unique challenge for all businesses, as we must work to ensure our workforce has the skill set needed to take our business where it needs to go,” Dua says. “In addition, flexible work options have increased the need for adopting digital transformation and attracting and retaining key talent, since workers need digital skills to excel in hybrid or remote working environments.”
Mark Schlesinger, senior technical fellow at Broadridge, says the talent shortage is highlighting the need to upskill current staff.
“With recent trends of higher attrition rates, most firms cannot afford to keep up with rising compensation,” Schlesinger says. “Many IT leaders will continue to struggle with filling key technology positions. This will lead to a two-pronged approach of external talent acquisition, where there are true knowledge gaps, as well as a focus on upskilling and reskilling existing top IT performers. This should help with reducing attrition, and if marketed appropriately, it will change the dynamics of attracting new talent.”
Maintaining hybrid environments
Zayo’s Raahauge says she’s talking with other CIOs to get a sense of what the hybrid work environment of the near future will look like. One pain point is the reliability of AV tools both in the office and in employee’s homes.
“Audiovisual tools are a constant conundrum for a CIO because they present a slate of cost-compatibility, latency, and network reliability issues,” she says. “There’s a big fear that these tools within the office have not been used in nearly two years and that there isn’t a standard for those connecting from home. If companies haven’t made investments in AV solutions that will provide a consistent, reliable conferencing environment that seamlessly connects workers from dispersed locations, the return to work won’t be very smooth.”
Raahauge says her organization is surveying the needs of in-office workers and those working remotely to develop a dependable AV infrastructure. That includes PC docking stations, lighting, and cameras that create a professional environment at home.
“When it comes to the videoconferencing tools themselves,” she says, “many are turning to [unified communications]-as-a-service to provide a more robust, all-in-one option to solve for many dispersed workforce needs: messaging, conferencing, business processes, calling, and more. That’s one option we’re looking at as well. Those only work well on solid architecture and infrastructure designs. That’ll be a big inspection area.”
Those companies that have invested in well-designed architecture for hybrid work environments will be better positioned than their competitors, Raahauge says.
“Companies that have been running lean during COVID will need to pick transformation efforts back up,” she says. “There will be a collision at some point when everything starts coming back online and they have to scale.”
Hazim Macky, vice president of engineering at Coinme, says his company is leaning into a remote-first approach, while offering a physical location for those employees who prefer that option, primarily in shared co-working spaces.
“This is shaping our culture, the way we do business, and how employees collaborate to perform their job functions,” Macky says. “From a technology perspective, establishing systems and software platforms to enable collaboration and effective communication has been the priority and will continue next year.
To support this shift, Coinme’s processes have been transformed to be mostly digital and cloud-enabled, Macky says. “While remote working offers some challenges, with the current technologies, widespread use of high-speed connectivity and cloud-based tools, the benefits outweigh the challenges.”
Combatting cybercriminals
While cyberattacks are expected to grow in number and sophistication in the next year, Rich Murr, CIO of Epicor, says he’s on the lookout for partners in fighting the threat.
“Combating cybercriminals requires continuous and rigorous improvement of cybersecurity capabilities,” Murr says, “and we’re increasingly looking to third-party security providers to assist our efforts.”
Chris Conry, CIO at Fuze, also sees the need for IT teams to integrate partner services that will constantly monitor suspicious activity and alert the organization when threats to corporate assets are discovered.
“This is crucial within corporate mobile networks, especially as bad actors place greater interest and emphasis on targeting the telecommunications industry and a larger share of workers are conducting day-to-day business on their mobile devices within the hybrid business model,” Conry says. “This proactive monitoring strategy will ease the burden on IT and security teams by resolving potential issues before they turn into breaches and will also break the ongoing cycle of security gaps within hybrid business models.”
And while it’s hard to overestimate the threat of cyberattacks, Tommy Gardner, CTO of HP Federal, recognizes the tension between implementing the best possible security measures and maintaining a reasonable budget.
“Ransomware will continue to be the biggest security issue in 2022, and organizations need to continuously improve the security of their devices and networks to keep their organizations secure,” Gardner says. “CIOs and IT leaders need to make the case to the C-suite or internal decision-makers that investing in security is the top priority. They can demonstrate how investing in new automation tools that use AI and ML capabilities for real-time monitoring can help minimize the risk of ransomware. Equally important is educating these decision-makers on the risk the organization will be shouldering if security is not prioritized, or risk management frameworks are not followed.”
Technology shortages
Prasad Ramakrishnan, CIO and CISO at Freshworks, says his firm and others are working to navigate the fallout from a global microchip shortage that’s affecting most industries.
“The supply chain challenges for IT hardware and equipment are real,” Ramakrishnan says. “Our teams are strategizing our procurement plans on how we can mitigate any roadblocks we may face in 2022 due to the shortage. We’re always on the lookout for alternative solutions, minimizing our chip consumption and monitoring availability.”
Burnout
The demands on IT teams have spurred an increase in burnout among employees, as budgets haven’t grown in proportion to the increased workload, says Malcolm Ross, vice president of product strategy and deputy CTO at Appian.
“These challenges will continue to dictate how IT leaders execute their role, and their degree of success, in the new year,” Ross says. “The misalignment between business decision-makers and IT leaders is the real culprit, and systemic organizational change is required to stem the tide.”
To keep its employees engaged, Ramakrishnan says Freshworks is leaning into cross training.
“We’re rotating jobs within the department,” he says. “Job rotation allows our employees to take on new projects, work with new team members, face new challenges and learn new skills. It’s incredibly important to retain the talent we already have, and we’re doing everything we can to make sure our employees are at their happiest.”
Ramakrishnan is also focused on providing tools at work that offer the same ease-of-use employees see in consumer technology.
“We’re in the Golden Age of consumer-tech simplicity, and employees expect to see that same simplicity, instant gratification, and autonomy in their workplace as they experience in their everyday lives,” he says. “The continued deployment of RPA tools, bots, and smart applications are table stakes for businesses who want to keep their employees happy and minimize frustration or resignations.”
Driving change
The difficult part of digital transformation isn’t technology but change management, especially in uncertain times, says Aref Matin, CTO at Wiley.
“Transformation is difficult and takes a lot of effort, planning, and execution,” Matin says. “The technology aspect is often the easy part of the project. When you have people used to a specific system — or a specific process — the transition is often hard. You have so many different perspectives at play.”
Matin’s advice is to focus on the people involved in the process, who bring their own perspectives to the table.
“When dealing with large-scale changes across the organization, I prioritize both empathy and results,” he says. “This balance is crucial. As an organization, we have created a culture focused on supporting our employees. We need to listen and be open to a variety of concerns and needs. These can’t be dismissed. And we also need to focus on results to drive changes through, produce successful outcomes, and minimize business disruption. And it’s hard to predict how long change will take. IT leaders need to focus on the people aspect to make substantial changes easier for the organization.” | https://www.cio.com/article/302904/top-7-challenges-it-leaders-will-face-in-2022.html |
Our Identity Theft Service is sometimes included in our Credit Management Service due to the frequency of individuals that have problems on their credit reports that are a result of someone else’s behavior.
The technology of the last couple decades has allowed for great advances to be made in Personal communication, Business efficiency and Crime.
A few decades ago it would be necessary to risk your physical well-being and future freedom to “Hold Up” Banks, Liquor stores, or Convenience stores. Modern advances, and limited negative consequences, have made identity theft or id theft the modern, efficient version of being a “Bank Robber” while increasing the need for identity theft protection. Unfortunately history has shown that if risk decreases and reward stays the same or increases - the behavior will likely become more common. This is why advances have been made in services that protect identity from id theft giving consumers more protection in regards to their credit score and credit report.
prevent future id theft through complex credit monitoring software and allow you to continue building positive credit.
We do not believe in placing a fraud alert on your credit reports, preventing future activity, is a solution - Just like we wouldn’t suggest welding all your windows and doors shut to stop unwelcomed visitors – Unless you have no plans of ever going outside.
We provide a wide variety of identity theft options for every client and explain the expected time and expense associated with each option. This has helped us in meeting the needs of our clients. | http://mail.falconcreditmanagement.com/identity-theft |
To borrow from Jay-Z: Hospital security directors have 99 problems, and access control is involved in nearly every single one.
Just a quick, highly abridged list of things a hospital access control system must account for: critical emergency access that is open to the public, securing potent narcotics, dealing with hazardous waste, adhering to some of the most sensitive and punitive privacy regulations in existence, protecting quarantine areas, and that doesn’t even touch the challenge of keeping track of patients, friends and family of patients, and caregivers who are often in chaotic or intense emotional conditions.
Security Management called on two members of the ASIS Healthcare Security Community Steering Committee to discuss the latest in hospital access management.
William Marcisz, CPP, president and chief consultant for Strategic Security Management Consulting, was in law enforcement before transitioning into private security at a hospital. He has 40 years of healthcare experience—32 years in security administration and consulting, and eight years practicing law. Dan Yaross, CPP, is the director, protective services, at a pediatric hospital in Ohio. Yaross retired from the U.S. Army Military Police in 1995 and launched a 20-plus year career in pediatric health facility security.
The questions and answers below have been edited for length and clarity.
Controlling access in a hospital would seem to be incredibly complex with all of the different layers of protection needed and constituencies that need to be accounted for. Yet the more complex an access control system is, the harder it is to monitor and the harder it is for employees to respect and follow those procedures. How can hospitals reconcile these two aspects?
Marcisz: It’s quite challenging. Certainly, you run into a lot of folks, department heads, or administrators who feel that hospital access control should resemble something you’d see in the Pentagon. If you have a very large hospital with 5,000 employees in it, many of those employees need access to the departments that those administrators would like to see locked down—folks like food service tray passers, phlebotomists going up to draw blood, environmental services folks, they all need access to areas. For individual departments that want a high level of access control, the system can and will keep people out. However, to ensure the desired level of service and continuity of care is administered, the department should have a dedicated person to serve as the gatekeeper for employees and visitors who have been excluded from the list of team members who require access.
I try to counsel clients to think about it like this: you’ve hired employees, you have to have a certain level of trust. I think having more of an open access for employees is a good idea, while limiting the number of areas with tight access control to areas that absolutely need it.
Yaross: In our case, as a pediatric facility, we were granted a variance from the fire code so we are able to secure both sides of in-patient units. The auditing department thought almost all of our hospital should be treated as security-sensitive and tightly controlled. But looking at who needs access, as Bill said, from foodservice to pharmacy to people bringing supplies, there’s a lot of people that have access needs.
We labeled four security-sensitive areas with our security management plan based on the joint commission requirements and IAHSS [International Association for Healthcare Security and Safety] guidelines. For those we have very restrictive access control. We audit those names with the head of those departments, including pharmacy, NICU [neonatal intensive care unit], emergency, and behavior health, just to ensure that the staff who are granted access truly need it.
The pandemic caused most hospitals to severely limit or even eliminate visitors to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Now that we’re on the other side of the severe restrictions, how have you seen hospital access control change?
Marcisz: During the last couple of years, hospitals secured their perimeters and only allow access through one or two or sometimes three doors, all of which have screening points. To make hospital operations flow smoother and make it easier for patients and visitors to come into facilities, some hospitals moved service points closer to those entrances. Some hospitals took advantage of the new entry design and implemented 24/7 visitor management.
There's always a tension between convenience and security. Throwing open those doors and returning to the hospital’s prepandemic, open-perimeter access design may not be a good idea. Many have discovered there is no need to do so and the new perimeter and screening designs create a safer environment. While some physicians and employees may want certain doors to be open to make it easier to walk to their car, for example, if an adverse incident occurred and the wrongdoer entered through that door, there might be some type of liability that can attach if the decision to open up the hospital was done without a security assessment.
Do you have an example of an access control change that a hospital made as a result of that convenience factor or because a security gap was identified?
Yaross: We are constantly looking at this issue. Being a children’s hospital, we have a significantly larger scope of restrictions for visitors. We implemented a visitor management system years ago. However, I noticed when I got up here that we weren’t doing what I thought was the right thing to do, which is vetting all visitors to the inpatient units on campus. We have many parents or guardians who cannot stay overnight with their kids, and the kids are left alone. Nursing, especially nowadays, is sometimes critically low. They don’t have the time to watch every patient room to ensure unauthorized visitors do not enter.
One step we took as a result is that every visitor to the inpatient side is checked against the Federal Sex Offender Registry. I got pushback from a number of departments, saying it was too intrusive, that it wasn’t family-centered care, and we shouldn’t be asking or getting involved in checking out the backgrounds of patients’ visitors.
Sometimes it takes some careful explanation to show why a security measure is important. In this case, I asked, “Let’s say your child was here alone overnight because you needed to go home to care for another child. Would you feel better knowing that we were screening against the registry so we know the offender status of other visitors in the hospital?”
We do the same thing with our guest workers, volunteers, students, and interns.
Marcisz: There are different types of auditing you can do. Most access control systems are pretty sophisticated, and you can see who is going through card and multifactor access doors in real time if you really want to track that in a finite level. I think what Dan was saying earlier is just go through card-group access lists with department heads periodically. It doesn't have to be every month, but you should do it periodically, and determine who needs to be in that department or building.
Also, consider the design of your card groups. One tendency is to start from a perspective that is the most restrictive, where you identify the people you think need access and grant only them access. When you do this in a hospital, you end up being too restrictive—you’re going to find out quickly that there are many more folks needing regular access to a space than you think. I advise the opposite. When looking at an area, decide who needs to be restricted, know why you are restricting them, and then restrict access. This approach will cut down the number of times you have to go back and reprogram your card groups.
Yaross: We’ll get alerts. It's all about collaboration because we keep stressing to our employee population that we only have so many protective services officers. We need all your eyes and ears to alert us quickly. Don’t be afraid that you're going to be embarrassed or that you’re bothering us. If there’s an issue with door readers or you think people are getting in your space that shouldn’t be there, we get alerted. Many times, we find out there is an issue with a card reader or the door mechanism might not be functioning properly. We find out a lot about access control issues just through our employees being alert and letting us know when things do not seem right.
What advice do you have for auditing access control technology itself? Is it a best practice to review the technology you use annually, or do you just wait for a need to arise before looking at adding or replacing your technology?
Marcisz: I recommend having an annual service agreement with your security vendor—either the manufacturer or your integrator who installed the platform. With a service agreement, they'll come in and do those health checks for you. Most systems, the higher-end systems, they're able to sustain for 10 to 20 years sometimes, depending upon which platform you're using. The manufacturers make sure that they're upgrading and revising their platforms, adding interfaces and compatibility with your network and other security systems. In many cases, the fail point is with the hospitals themselves and whoever is managing those systems—they fail to keep up with upgrades and ongoing maintenance.
Yaross: Our facility got to a point where we were trying without success to integrate our video management system with our access control system. Our visitor management system, as well as the electronic medical record system we use, were already integrated with our access control system. I was trying to get video into the mix—this is the 21st century, there shouldn’t be a reason why you can’t do that. But we could not do that with our video management company and our access control company, which was closed architecture. At that point, we decided we needed to migrate to a different video management system.
We were starting to make progress with that full integration, and then our access control system was coming to end of life. We went to the capital budget, and we got approval to upgrade to the next level of access control program. Even that was an over-$700,000 project. Once we get that completed, then we’ll do the full integration. I would say if you have a system that’s not integrable, it’s time to look for a new system. I think it’s critical that everything should integrate.
Marcisz: If you look at the trend now for technology platforms, we started off 15 or 20 years ago with vendors who had designed closed-end platforms so their product couldn't talk to the competition. But that's not what the customer wanted. Now we're in this integration phase where vendors and manufacturers are making sure that their systems can communicate with other systems and other vendors' products so that they can uniquely position themselves in a multilayered or multiplatform security environment.
The industry is now in the beginning of the next curve where manufacturers are attempting to create all-in-one systems. They want their access control system, their camera system, their duress system all in one big bundle—while still being able to integrate with other types of systems and platforms.
During the pandemic, I began seeing this with thermal cameras and health screening and other technology combining with vendor management platforms and visitor management systems. Coming out of the pandemic, a lot of these systems are what customers want. Access systems have had an interesting evolution over the last 20 years.
When making changes to access control technology or procedures, how do you find the unintended negative consequences you may be introducing?
Yaross: I don’t know if you ever find 100 percent of the unintended consequences because as much investigation and piloting we did, we still had issues with trying to integrate that new video management system with our current access control system, even though it looked like through the pilot it would work.
There’s no real secret to it—you do pilot testing, you investigate as many possibilities as you can. We used a third-party consultant who’s really experienced in technology and has a wealth of experience of a lot of different types of manufacturers.
What about unintended consequences not related to technology, such as an access control policy or procedure update?
Yaross: A good way to approach this is to do a root cause analysis. As security professionals, we think we probably know what the problem is, and we know what the solution is. A lot of times that is not the case at all.
Think about a salesperson: they’re going to ask the potential client what problems they are having. A good salesperson won’t take that first answer and try to make the sale. They’re going to continue digging deeper with the client to understand the real problem, and that digging often uncovers much deeper issues—issues that require a different solution than the original problem. That’s a root cause analysis. It gives you a more comprehensive understanding of what is going on and lets you address the root cause, which may be causing all kinds of troublesome issues.
What advice would you give to a hospital security director when comes to taking a strategic look at his or her facility’s access control?
Marcisz: Going back to my security director days, I had a CEO who used a hockey metaphor that has always stuck with me: “We as a leadership team need to skate to where the puck is going to be.”
It’s on the player to anticipate where the puck is going to be and gain position on the ice. The point is to be strategic in your decision making. If you’re looking at a technology solution, don’t just look at solving the problems or issues immediately in front of you. Security professionals should consider the risk factors they’ve identified and how technology addresses those factors in both the short and long term The same goes for security processes and procedures. Don’t make narrow decisions. Think about decisions strategically and how they fit in the bigger picture. | https://www.asisonline.org/security-management-magazine/latest-news/online-exclusives/2022/Unravelling-the-Complexities-of-Healthcare-Access-Control/ |

Hospitals have a duty of care to ensure their patients and visitors are protected and are able to evacuate as quickly as possible in the event of an evacuation. Over the years we have worked with many NHS hospitals by installing a wide range of security systems that: ensures everyone is safe and the hospital is meeting legal requirements for fire and security.
In this project one of our engineers carried out a first class installation of an access control system on one of the fire doors in the Basildon University Hospital.
Hospitals have strict rules and regulations about security within the building and what they must adhere to ensure they are meeting requirements set by the law.
In this project our engineer ensured that when installing the access control system that he was meeting all of the necessary rules and regulations. This here gives the people in charge of the hospital the peace of mind they are not liable for the consequences.
Our team at Hewes Security have a wealth of experience in working with access control and understand what are the best systems to use.
With our knowledge and understanding on access control our team are on hand to answer any questions you have and ensure you of complete peace of mind.

"iTunes has exceeded our wildest expectations during its first year," Jobs said, in a bit of hyperbole, given the 30 million song shortfall and the Pepsi debacle. Apple also quietly began retreating on its anti-Microsoft technology bent, adding support for Windows Media Audio (WMA) to iTunes 4.5, a new version of the player the company released yesterday. With the new version, iTunes users can't play WMA songs directly, but they can morph them into Apple's AAC format, and the resulting songs will play on Apple's hugely successful iPod (and iPod Mini, if you're on of the lucky few that got one).
There have been other changes in Apple's music strategy, some of which appear to be designed to head off competition from the Microsoft camp, which will soon mount a multi-pronged digital media attack. With iTunes 4.5, users can share music between up to five computers (up from three), and a new mixing feature will automatically set up playlists for parties and other events. Apple notes that the iTunes Music Store now sports 700,000 songs, up from 200,000 when the service first launched.
Some of the changes aren't so positive. With previous iTunes versions, users could make up to 10 mix CDs from the same playlist; that number has been dropped to 7. And though customers can purchase more music than ever from the online service, many albums on iTunes now cost significantly more than $9.99 because of price increases from the record companies.
Apple also refuses to budge from its buy-only, music-only strategy. Despite rumors that the company would introduce an iPod with a color screen, or a video iPod, Jobs says that iPods are about music only, and the company has no plans to venture from that niche. Furthermore, the subscription music services that are gaining traction on the PC side are unsuccessful, Jobs says. "People want to own their music," he noted in a conference call yesterday.
That's short-sighted. That means for a low monthly price--expected to be $10 to $20 a month depending on the service--customers will be able to stock their devices with a revolving inventory of 20 GB to 60 GB of content. Purchasing that content would be prohibitively expensive, backers of the scheme correctly note.
Despite the missed goals, it's impossible to underscore the important and far-reaching effects that iTunes has had on the music and consumer electronics industries. In a way, it's a shame that Jobs had to brag about the success he expected to achieve with the service, because iTunes, in fact, been hugely successful with an amazing number of songs sold. That misplaced bravado, the Pepsi debacle, and Apple's downplaying of markets for which it has no solution, suggest the company isn't prepared to innovate the next big consumer electronics push. And that's a shame: A video iPod with subscription services capabilities would have surely kept the Microsoft camp on the sidelines yet again.
On the first anniversary of the launch of its iTunes Music Store, Apple announced that it has sold 70 million songs online, a tremendous achievement for such a nascent market, but far below the 100 million songs that CEO Steve Jobs promised. Furthermore, Apple's high profile song giveaway promotion with Pepsi has been a complete flop: Only 5 million songs have been redeemed, far fewer than the 100 million that have been circulated.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> That's short-sighted. Late this summer, Microsoft and its many hardware partners will unveil a collection of portable media center devices and portable audio players that will be able to play back subscribed, and not just purchased, music. | https://www.itprotoday.com/management-mobility/apple-misses-music-sales-goals-pepsi-promo-fizzles |
Cyber security is an ongoing battle between sophisticated and well-funded bad actors and those who must defend corporate networks against their attacks. The bad news is that the latter are typically not winning. A recent Osterman Research survey found that while most organizations self-report that they are doing “well” or “very well” against ransomware, other types of malware infections, and thwarting account takeovers, they are not doing well against just about every other type of threat. These include protecting data sought by attackers, preventing users from reaching malicious sites after they respond to a phishing message, eliminating business email compromise (BEC) attacks, eliminating phishing attempts before they reach end-users, and preventing infections on mobile devices.
This missing component for most organizations is the addition of robust and actionable threat intelligence to their existing security defenses. The use of good threat intelligence can enable security analysts, threat researchers and others to gain the upper hand in dealing with cybercriminals by giving them the information they need to better understand current and past attacks, and it can give them the tools they need to predict and thwart future attacks. Moreover, good threat intelligence can bolster existing security defenses like SIEMs and firewalls and make them more effective against attacks.
Existing security defenses provide some measure of protection against increasingly sophisticated threats, but the enormous number of data breaches and related problems experienced by many organizations reveals that current security practices are not adequate.
Good threat intelligence capabilities can provide a great deal of information about the domains and IP addresses that are attempting to gain access to a network. It can enable threat researchers to better understand the source of current and past attacks and better deal with future attacks. | https://www.proofpoint.com/us/resources/white-papers/osterman-value-of-threat-intelligence |

Cyber is increasingly cutting across every industry globally. The automobile industry, for instance, is among the latest commercial sectors that recently joined the list of businesses fueling the exponential growth in cybersecurity need. “Because there is never a permanent solution, cyber is a never-ending business,” said Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at CyberTech Conference 2017 in Tel Aviv. “A few years ago I set the goal for Israel of becoming one of the top five cybersecurity powers in the world. It’s a goal we have met. Today, Israel receives roughly one-fifth of the world’s global private investment in cybersecurity,” he added.
Cybersecurity industry has largely been transformed in recent years, with Israeli startups remarkably contributing a huge quota. A 2018 cyber defenders report by CB Insights shows that Israel claimed the second largest cybersecurity global deal share between 2013 and 2017, behind the US. The UK was third on the list, followed by Canada before China. Israel has become a significant powerhouse in the cyber realm, assisting smaller nations such as Singapore and collaborating with super-powers at the heart of the cybersecurity industry.
A CyberMap released by an Israeli seed-focused venture fund YL Ventures in June revealed that Israel has hundreds of cybersecurity startups across the different cyber defense categories. In 2016, Israel’s main export segment through cybersecurity solutions generated around $6.5 billion. And the nation’s startups raised a total of $689 million in overall funding the same year. Israel holds over 10% of all global cybersecurity investments. As of June 30, 2017, Israeli cybersecurity startups had already raised $434 million in funding before closing the year with a total of $815 million, a figure largely expected to increase in the coming years.
But what is the secret behind Israel’s cyber supremacy? “Israel developed creativity to compensate for its lack of resources,” Alon Ben-David, an Israeli Journalist and Defense correspondent told HBO. “It’s a country that needs to conduct constant surveillance on the neighbors. It’s a country which is under a constant annihilation threat by other nations. Israel understands that going into wars and launching massive military operations bears almost unbearable prices; loss of lives in terms of economic cost, international legitimacy. Cyber is the right answer for many things that Israel needed to do.” Hence, Israel’s unique geography, politics, and economics are all fueling the nation’s position as the world’s cybersecurity lab.
The government’s role in making Israel the world’s cybersecurity hub
A rise in cyber threats some years ago led to Netanyahu’s search for a lasting solution such an operational structure that will resolve these tensions. That vision gave birth to an ecosystem established to handle unpredicted cyber threats. The ecosystem is a constantly evolving framework that supports collaboration between the Israeli government, universities, and businesses, with the government leading the platform.
Cybersecurity development in Israel was facilitated by some unique policies and programs established by the government. They include the following.
Human capital investment
Israel has amazing experts in cybersecurity due to its policy of hiring and exposing its young citizens to the highly advanced methodologies and the state of cyber anthropology. These young people, who are usually at the age of 18, are provided with specialized training. That enables them to develop in various unique areas based on their individual capabilities before they are 24 when they usually become private consultants in cybersecurity. But the recruitment process even starts much earlier than this age.
In 2013, Israel ministry of defense created a national program – after-school cyber classes for high school students. These classes have since become a feeder program for the different Israel cyber units.
“The person I’m looking for is a young person with a higher cognition than other teenagers,” a recruiter for one of the Israeli cyber unit who could not reveal her identity due to security clearance told HBO. I’m looking for “kids who are strong enough to deal with the technological challenges in the cyber realm. That’s how we get our hands on the best and bring them in for selection.”
The military dominance
Israel’s private cybersecurity is basically a progeny of the country’s military and security agencies. We can refer to the Israeli army as one of the largest HR organizations in the world. The nation’s geopolitical location forced it to utilize a very wide spectrum of human resources since established in 1949, making the military a mandatory service for most Israeli citizens.
“The whole of Israel cyber industry relies on knowledge gathered by people serving in Israel’s different agencies and the military,” said journalist Ben-David.
Most private cybersecurity companies in Israel are founded by members of the country’s elite military cybersecurity division Unit 8200 – a unit responsible for one of the world’s most aggressive cyber attacks in history. These young startup owners experience leading-edge and real-life cyber security challenges and solutions during their military service, which prepares them for entrepreneurial life.
In 2013, Israel created a campus for its cyber intelligence unit in Beersheba – a desert city which is fast becoming Israel’s Silicon Valley. The military industrial cyber complex hosting a huge part of Israeli force is the largest infrastructure project in Israel’s history.
Interdisciplinary approach
Israel recognizes the interdisciplinary approach required in creating cyber solutions. This simply means breaking through artificial boundaries and observing cyber in varied angles. The nation supplements and enhances academic introduction to cybersecurity during compulsory military service using practical experiences.
Aside from leveraging the diversity of point of views, approaches, and experiences caused by the diverse backgrounds of participants, the nation train these cyber professionals by allowing them to join companies of different sizes, government agencies, think tanks and universities. Shared experience from these professionals relative to their place of participation drives enduring and strong cross-pollination between those sectors, ensuring that all kinds of cybersecurity solutions, activities and policies are adopted through tactical thinking, specific experience, broad expertise, theory and in practice.
Is the world acting out of fear?
“The interconnectivity established in between systems in the past decade could be a major source of the current cybersecurity challenges,” said Barak Perelman, CEO and co-founder of Indegy, a startup that builds cyber security network for industrial facilities. Trying to build a system to achieve operational convenience such that one can have access to all facilities easily makes it convenience for hackers to penetrate the system.
In August, there was a cyber attack on a petrochemical company in Saudi Arabia, reports the New York Times. Like the US-Israel led Stuxnet in 2009 that disabled Iran’s nuclear facilities, the attack was designed to sabotage the firm’s operations and to trigger an explosion. The only thing that prevented an explosion was “a mistake in the attackers’ computer code.” said cybersecurity experts who asked not to be identified due to ongoing investigations.
A “crash override” malware was used to hack Ukrainian power grid and industrial control systems just a week before Christmas in 2017. The power outage lasted for about an hour – which is barely a problem. Information released after says the hackers were testing the grid-sabotaging malware, but there are claims of other attacks following the blackout.
Hackers struck an unnamed steel mill in Germany just before Christmas in 2015. According to the report, the hackers were able to manipulate control systems and that led to a massive damage of a blast furnace.
Cyber attacks are on the increase; at the same pace with development in technology. While the attacks are often engineered using old methodologies, most are usually successful because none has figured out how to permanently stop them.

Oct. 22, 2019—Nationwide's venture capital team has invested in Upstream Security, a provider of cybersecurity for connected vehicles. The Upstream announcement is part of Nationwide's commitment to invest more than $100 million of venture capital in customer-centric solutions.
The investment is designed to help Upstream enable OEM car manufacturers and fleets to detect, monitor and respond to attacks, targeting any part of the connected vehicle framework – even for vehicles already on the road.
"As mobility continues to evolve with technology, it will be important for carriers and vehicle manufactures to keep up with customer protection needs," said Tony Fenton Nationwide's vice-president of commercial underwriting and new product development.
Earlier this year, a report published by Upstream Security outlining the automotive threat landscape spanning the past decade demonstrated that multiple, key stakeholders have been targeted. In many cases attacks were executed indirectly via connected services and applications and from long distance. | https://www.fenderbender.com/articles/13845-nationwide-invests-in-cybersecurity-for-connected-cars |

If I create a database (.sdf file) on a server and set it to be encrypted, should it be able to be opened on a device or other PC? In other words, is there anything in the encryption that is machine specific? Or is it really that the password is what lets me connect and the encryption prevents it from being read by some other tool like a hex file viewer as one post suggested.
I've read through lots of posts and documentation and I'm just trying to understand how encryption works and if there are any limitations or considerations and haven't found a good source. | https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/1fcdc94a-1d7e-47f0-9556-619c7a9a86d0/sql-server-compact-35-encryption-questions?forum=sqlce |
Zeroboard is a hacking tool that allows DoS (denial of service) attacks to be launched, in order to prevent legitimate users from accessing services.
DoS attacks are launched by sending a large number of service request packets from one computer to a specific server. This server is unable to answer to all the requests and is flooded, preventing legitimate users from accessing its services.
Zeroboard does not spread automatically using its own means. It needs an attacking user's intervention in order to reach the affected computer. The means of transmission used include, among others, floppy disks, CD-ROMs, email messages with attached files, Internet downloads, FTP, IRC channels, peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing networks, etc. | https://www.pandasecurity.com/homeusers/security-info/about-malware/encyclopedia/overview.aspx?idvirus=77636 |
The Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) has developed prioritised mitigation strategies to help technical cyber security professionals in all organisations mitigate cyber security incidents. This guidance addresses targeted cyber intrusions, ransomware and external adversaries with destructive intent, malicious insiders, 'business email compromise' and industrial control systems.
This guidance is informed by ASD's experience responding to cyber security incidents and performing vulnerability assessments and penetration testing Australian government organisations.
No single mitigation strategy is guaranteed to prevent cyber security incidents. At least 85% of the adversary techniques used in targeted cyber intrusions which ASD has visibility of could be mitigated by implementing the following mitigation strategies, referred to as the 'Top 4':
restrict administrative privileges to operating systems and applications based on user duties.
These Top 4 mitigation strategies for targeted cyber intrusions are mandatory for Australian Government organisations as of April 2013.
Incorporating the Top 4, the eight mitigation strategies with an 'essential' rating are so effective at mitigating targeted cyber intrusions and ransomware that ASD considers them to be the cyber security baseline for all organisations. Any organisation that has been compromised despite properly implementing these mitigation strategies is encouraged to notify ASD.
ASD's Australian Government Information Security Manual (ISM) provides supporting guidance. ASD also has separate and specific guidance for mitigating denial of service, securely using cloud computing and enterprise mobility, including personally-owned computing devices. | https://www.asd.gov.au/infosec/mitigationstrategies.htm |

Most of the businesses are network-based and some business owners should have specific knowledge of cybersecurity. Here are some things you need to check at this site to keep your business safe online and what to do in the event of a security breach.
· Ensure that any device running corporate networks or corporate data has reliable anti-virus and anti-malware software. This is easy to ignore and a basic precaution against various attacks and malicious files. A firewall is a must for your network to protect the entire network.
· Also, train your employees to make sure everyone understands your security system in your company, training employees on basic internet security issues can help. Many online resources help raise awareness about security certificates, phishing scams, and other cybersecurity basics.
· Create a secure password. For any resource that requires a password on your system, generate (and have staff generate) complex passwords that are not subject to psychological manipulation or simple knowledge. To create strong passwords there are several videos available on the Internet.
· Use encryption software if you regularly work with sensitive information. In this way, hackers cannot read the data even if it has been compromised.
· Find out about cyber insurance. Cybersecurity breaches are not usually covered by liability insurance. However, if you want to protect sensitive information, talk to an insurance agent about your options. | https://simpleeducation.net/cyber-security-made-easy-for-business/ |
A new security trend has emerged in the healthcare sector: ransomware attacks. In recent weeks, three large hospitals have been infected with malware that demands money in order to decrypt sensitive data. Most recently, Kentucky-based Methodist Hospital had malware spread across their entire internal networks. The company resorted to shutting down all of its machines in order to scan each one for infections. As of this writing, they had not paid any ransom.
In February, a similar case took place at Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center. The hospital had a portion of its computer network disabled and decided to pay a $17,000 ransom in order restore access. Allen Stefanek, the hospital’s CEO, said paying the ransom was the “quickest and most efficient way” to restore its systems.
With the scale of recent data breaches that have taken place, ransomware attacks are a great cause for concern. In the data breaches outlined below, healthcare organizations were compromised, exposing millions of medical and financial records. These breaches didn’t involve ransomware, but they represent the large degree of damage resulting from breaches in this industry. Given the sheer volume of data lost or compromised, it’s conceivable criminals could be asking for sums much larger than $17,000 in the near future.
Anthem
The largest healthcare breach to date is Anthem. In late January 2015, the medical insurance provider notified 80 million individuals their personally identifiable information was compromised in a December 2014 cyberattack. They noted hackers may have accessed “names, dates of birth, social security numbers, healthcare ID numbers, home addresses, email addresses, and employment information, including income data,” and did not believe medical or credit card information was released. In response, Anthem set up a website where affected customers could learn about their credit monitoring services and identity theft repair.
Anthem has been notoriously secretive about their cybersecurity and has been accused of trying to avoid further embarrassment. Several months after their breach was brought to light, they refused a request for an audit, noting an audit would require them to disable their anti-virus software, causing IT outages.
It’s worth noting there has been cause of alarm in healthcare dating back to 2014. While nobody foresaw ransomware becoming a common threat for healthcare organizations, there are signals the industry as a whole is susceptible to malware infections and machine compromise.
There’s nothing fundamentally different about how breaches happen in this industry. A cybersecurity incident takes place for one of three reasons:
Because of someone on the outside — like a phishing scam where someone is sent an embedded piece of malicious code in an email.
Through a trusted insider who chooses to exploit their privilege of data or intellectual property.
Through an attack to your supply chain when someone can manipulate the hardware or software your company uses to gain access to an infrastructure or network.
Just because these attacks aren’t unique doesn’t mean they don’t hold unique consequences. In a recent USA Today article, Ann Patterson, the senior vice president and program director for the Medical Identity Fraud Alliance, explained why these types of breaches could be far worse than credit card breaches, saying, “You really can't change your birth date. So when that kind of [personally identifiable] information is out there, the type of fraud that is perpetrated in the healthcare sense involves your well-being, your life.”
The recent ransomware attacks on hospitals serve as reminder healthcare needs to invest heavily in cybersecurity. In addition to exposing medical records, organizations that experience data breaches now face the possibility of significant financial and operational loss — whether they decide to pay ransoms or not. Allocating greater resources towards security in order to reduce the likelihood of a breach is an obvious first step. | https://www.healthitoutcomes.com/doc/ransomware-another-sign-of-security-challenges-0001 |

Hello - My bosses system got this only today. I had the hard drive taken to be fixed. Had I been able to see this, maybe we'd be saving some frustration, time and $.
The biggest problem that I had was that this bug can and WILL hijack your browser, as it did ours. Unfortunately, my boss(s) only like to use IE - they have only very basic computer literacy, so they don't always know not to click on deceptive pop-ups. As soon as it comes back in the morning, FF is going on and I am deletely IE shortcuts (they wont know where to look.)
This does not work. The Spyware Protect 2009 disabled my Adaware and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. I can not even remove and re-install these software. They just DO NOT run. at the same time, I have this www.windowsclick.com problem.
Found the virus and Malware, but can not effectively remove them. My McAfee did not work either! The computer is having the same problem after re-boot.
I have tried A-Squired and Vipre. They did not work! Hm... Safe Mode? It got me thinking:
I was wondering if it would be a good or a really bad idea to open Safe Mode with Network Support and update MBAM there. Perhaps download/update some other software removing tools as well. Is SUPERAntiSpyware any good? What about Spyware Terminator and Ad-Aware? Will it make an "initial" scan to get things moving a little bit...
A lot of sites and people don't recommend to do scans in Safe Mode; I was just wondering why.
Yes that would be a bad idea because you are running online completely unprotected. We do not recommend that at all
SAS is good, Spyware Terminator I am not a fan as it was once a rogue, and Ad-Aware is getting out-dated.
MBAM doesn't need to be run in safe mode as its better in normal mode. Some scans though are better in safe mode. | https://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/235103-how-to-remove-spyware-protect-2009/ |

Visitors to web sites that use Microsoft IIS 5.0 and 5.1 are vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks through the IIS help facility. Description
Cross-site scripting is a form of attack in which an intruder leverages the trust between a victim and a web-site the victim trusts. Quoting from CERT Advisory CA-2001-02: Many Internet web sites overlook the possibility that a client may send malicious data intended to be used only by itself. This is an easy mistake to make. After all, why would a user enter malicious code that only the user will see? However, this situation may occur when the client relies on an untrustworthy source of information when submitting a request. For example, an attacker may construct a malicious link such as <A HREF="http://example.com/comment.cgi? mycomment=<SCRIPT>malicious code</SCRIPT>"> Click here</A> When an unsuspecting user clicks on this link, the URL sent to example.com includes the malicious code. If the web server sends a page back to the user including the value of mycomment, the malicious code may be executed unexpectedly on the client. This example also applies to untrusted links followed in email or newsgroup messages. Abuse of other tags
In addition to scripting tags, other HTML tags such as the <FORM> tag have the potential to be abused by an attacker. For example, by embedding malicious <FORM> tags at the right place, an intruder can trick users into revealing sensitive information by modifying the behavior of an existing form. Other HTML tags can also be abused to alter the appearance of the page, insert unwanted or offensive images or sounds, or otherwise interfere with the intended appearance and behavior of the page. In this case, a search of the IIS help facilities returns unsanitized derived from the URL in the resulting page. If an intruder convinces a victim to follow a link with malicious content in it, he can cause the web server to return a page largely under the control of the intruder. If the victim trusts the web site (specifically if Javascript or other script from that site is permitted to run) the intruder can execute arbitrary script as if it came from the web site. For more information, see Microsoft Security Bulletin MS02-018. IIS is a very popular web server, and any client that has a trust relationship with an IIS web site may be vulnerable if that site default error messages. Impact

Automotive security experts have uncovered a novel method for stealing cars by breaking into their control systems through a headlight.
The key (so to speak) is the controller area network (CAN) bus, the Internet of Things (IoT) protocol through which devices and microcontrollers in a vehicle communicate with one another. It’s basically the car's onboard, local communications network that cyberattackers can subvert to potentially stop and start the car, open doors and windows, play around with the radio, and much more.
While car hacking is hardly new, in a blog post published April 3, Ken Tindell, CTO of Canis Automotive Labs, described how attackers manipulated an electronic control unit (ECU) in a Toyota RAV4's headlight to gain access to its CAN bus, through which they were able to, ultimately, steal the vehicle. That's an approach that hasn't been seen before. Once connected via the headlight, they hacked their way into the CAN bus — responsible for functions like the parking brakes, headlights, and smart key — through a gateway and then into the powertrain panel, wherein lies the engine control.
How ECUs in a RAV4 are wired together with CAN bus. Source: Canis CTO blog
This type of CAN injection will require manufacturers to rethink control network security in their vehicles, he warns.
"When you're a car engineer," Tindell tells Dark Reading, "you're trying to solve all sorts of problems: minimizing the wiring, reliability, cost. You're not thinking 'cyber, cyber, cyber' all the time."We're not wired that way," he says. "Forgive the pun."

On April 24 last year, Ian Tabor woke up to find that his Toyota RAV4's front bumper and left headlight had been manhandled, while it was parked out on the street in London.
No fcuking point having a nice car these days, came out early to find the front bumper and arch trim pulled off and even worse the headlight wiring plug had been yanked out, if definitely wasn't an accident, kerb side and massive screwdriver mark. Breaks in the clips etc. C&#ts pic.twitter.com/7JaF6blWq9
Tabor, it should be noted, is an automotive security consultant. The irony was not lost on Tabor's friend, Tindell. "When I first read his tweet, I thought: Someone's making a point," he says. "But no, not at all."
Tindell, it turned out, was in a unique position to help. He'd helped develop the first CAN-based platform for Volvo vehicles — an experience applicable to the situation given that the CAN proved to be the RAV4's key weakness.
How Hackers Typically Steal Cars
To break into a modern vehicle, the key is usually … the key.
"The car is defended with the key," Tindell explains. "The wireless key is a perimeter defense. It talks to an engine control unit (ECU), which asks: 'Are you the real key?' The key responds: 'Yeah.' Then the message goes to the engine immobilizer: 'OK, the owner's here with the key.'"
To breach this line of communication, thieves have historically opted for so-called "relay attacks." Using a handheld radio relay station, attackers can beam a car's authentication request to its associated smart key, presumably lying in a nearby home. The key responds, and the car accepts the message because it is, in the end, valid.
Attuned to this, manufacturers now commonly design keys to go to sleep after a few minutes of inaction. Owners with keys that don't go to sleep can store them inside of a radio-impenetrable metal box
Other attack types include subverting mobile apps, and making use of flaws in the infotainment systems of cars — the latter of which became a lightning rod for reform after the famed hack of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee by Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek in 2015. In that case, the discovery of a wide open cellular communications port 6667 ultimately led to their ability to control the Jeep's steering, braking, high beams, turn signals, windshield wipers and fluid, and door locks, as well as reset the speedometer and tachometer, kill the engine, and disengage the transmission so the accelerator pedal failed. | https://www.darkreading.com/attacks-breaches/cybercriminals-can-steal-your-car-novel-iot-hack |

Two federal regulators – the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) – have teamed up to host an upcoming “tech sprint” aimed at testing the effectiveness of digital identity proofing.
According to a joint announcement published Wednesday, digital identity proofing refers to the process of collecting, validating and verifying information about a person. This information is often used by financial institutions to establish proof of identity when customers are attempting to access services online.
As the financial services industry moves increasingly online, fraudsters and scammers have found new and inventive ways to commit financial crime. According to the FDIC and FinCEN, leaks and hacks of personally identifiable information (PII) and the rise in “synthetic identities” (a type of fraud in which someone Frankensteins a new identity from a mix of real and fake information) have made establishing a person’s true identity increasingly challenging.
In the upcoming tech sprint, which doesn’t yet have a specific start date, participants will be asked to come up with a “scalable, cost-efficient, risk-based solution to measure the effectiveness of digital identity proofing to ensure that individuals who remotely (i.e. not in person) present themselves for financial activities are who they claim to be.”
FDIC and FinCEN’s goal is to increase the security of online financial services, reduce fraud and identity theft, cut down on money laundering and terrorist financing and improve customer confidence in the online financial services industry – something that has been challenged by the ongling proliferation of scams.
Registration for the tech sprint – open to non-profit organizations, private companies and academics – will begin in “coming weeks,” followed by a two-week application period. | https://nojokeexchange.com/fincen-fdic-to-hold-tech-sprint-for-digital-identity-tools/ |

I'm a news hound, which I know comes as no surprise. But what may surprise you is where I choose to get my news from: I don't read gadget or tech blogs--which are largely written by unsophisticated kids--and I don't hover over a Twitter client all day long like a submarine sonar man looking for meaning in the noise. Instead, I choose to get my news from the tap, if you will: From the few credible sources of original news reporting that still exist. Among these are tier-one newspapers like The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, but also independent news-gathering agencies like Reuters, Bloomberg, and the Associated Press, or AP.
As an iPhone user over three years, I'm familiar with the fact of these organizations--AP, Bloomberg, and Reuters--provides a high-quality app for that platform, and one of my goals in moving to Windows Phone this past year involved insuring that I could get the most valuable iPhone apps on this new platform as well. The AP Mobile app is the first such app to appear on Windows Phone, and while it provides the same basic functionality as its iPhone equivalent, it also does so using the unique and superior Metro look and feel.
On Windows Phone, the AP Mobile app provides a standard, pivot-based view, with a customizable Front Page--I've set mine up to display technology news first, followed by top news, travel, sports, and showbiz--a nice media gallery, and then a full list of all available sections, including local, weather, search, settings, and the various categories: Top news, sports, showbiz, U.S. news, small business, world, wacky, technology, business, politics, lifestyle, travel, health, science, religion and press releases.
(Private pet peeve: I don't like when news sources bundle science and technology together as a single topic--as Google News does--but AP Mobile, as you can see, does not do this.)
Via the settings interface, you can customize what appears on the Front Page, and in what order, where local news and weather get pulled from (and you can specify multiple sources for each), and more.
All in all, the AP Mobile app is a great example of a great service combined with the preferred Windows Phone look and feel. Highly recommended for news hounds everywhere. | https://www.itprotoday.com/management-mobility/windows-phone-app-week-ap-mobile |
In October 2018, it was revealed that there existed an authentication bypass vulnerability in the libSSH library. This immediately gained attention of the InfoSec media, which started throwing around wild speculations about its scope and impact.
It also gained the attention of security researcher Rob Graham who started to investigate the issue himself. He started to scan the internet with the Shodan service to search for exposed services that were vulnerable.
Shortly after it was found that not many of the exposed services on the net were running services built with the vulnerable libSSH library.
What is important to note is that libSSH is different from libSSH2 which is not vulnerable and is not related to OpenSSH or OpenSSL.
While the impact is not a critical as immediately thought, vendors such as Cisco and F5 started to take a hard look at their product offerings for this vulnerability.
Cisco has yet to find this issue in any of their products, but F5 Networks confirmed that their BIG-IP (AFM) products are affected.
This may still be a developing story as vendors and researchers investigate further but this does seem to be as bad as first reported on.
Remediation
If you are using libSSH based services or are using libSSH in a development environment, patch now.
If you are unsure of whether or not you could be affected, researchers at Leap Security have created a scanner to check for and validate vulnerable services.

Since experiencing a breach that exposed the private information of about 143 million Americans, including Social Security numbers, Equifax’s shares have plummeted, with the company losing about a third of its market value in less than two weeks. The incident reflects how difficult it is for even very large firms to ward off cybercrimes in an increasingly digital world, and it underscores what’s at stake for those not up to the task of protecting their systems.
For some industries, the challenges of cybersecurity are well established. Take the nation’s big banks, for instance, which cannot afford the reputational hit and resulting costs that would come with a serious breach, helping to explain why JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo spend billions annually to safeguard sensitive data. Similar risks confront large retailers, something that Target knows all too well after experiencing sharp sales and share price declines in the wake of a massive credit and debit card breach in 2013.
With malicious attacks becoming more numerous and sophisticated, and with many of the market’s most valuable companies hailing from the tech sector, a prime target for such attacks, there are a number of emerging areas that appear to be on the next frontier of risk. Often cited as the most vulnerable are large, ever-growing and data-rich cloud computing platforms; the new universe of IOT devices that automate everything from home thermostats to ordering items from Amazon; and the evolution of online ‘robo’ financial advisors that have attracted billions in assets but which are still in the relatively embryonic stages of development. None of these are likely to cause as many cybersecurity headaches as autonomous cars.
The general expectation is that self-driving cars will gain greater mass appeal by 2020 and become ubiquitous within the next decade, give or take a couple of years. Whether the timelines are accurate or the promised benefits of increased safety, reduced traffic and lower fuel consumption will actually materialize is debatable. What is clear is that Silicon Valley is on board with trying to make autonomous driving a reality.
A pilot model Uber self-driving car is displayed at the Uber Advanced Technologies Center on September 13, 2016 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.(Photo credit should read ANGELO MERENDINO/AFP/Getty Images)
Aside from the steep technical and mechanical challenges involved with building a car capable of driving itself is the complicated task of making them ‘hackerproof.’ Two years ago, a team of experts easily penetrated the car area network (CAN) of a semi-autonomous Jeep Cherokee and killed its transmission. While it’s reasonable to assume that engineers have since made considerable progress securing these systems, it’s unsettling to think about someone hacking into a car and hitting the accelerator, slamming on the brakes or yanking the steering wheel off line. Depending on the circumstances, it could result in countless deaths.
How important autonomous cars are to the fortunes of the companies that have been most aggressive in this space varies on a case by case basis. Google parent Alphabet has reportedly plowed just over $1 billion into Waymo, its driverless car unit, and Apple recently confirmed that it, too, is committed to this effort, saying driverless cars are the ‘mother of all AI projects.’ Still, failing to become a leader in driverless cars would hardly be an existential threat for either.
For Apple and Google, the pursuit of this technology is largely about creating two streams of revenue that will likely be highly profitable. The first would come from developing the operating systems (similar to iOS and Android) that guide driverless cars, which can then be licensed out to manufacturers. The second would be achieved by preserving ‘ownership’ of the in-car displays in any such arrangement, allowing them to gather even more information about consumers and boost their ad businesses.
Neither, however, has any desire to mass produce a company-branded autonomous car. That fact, along with the diversity of their businesses and access to limitless cash, would keep them largely insulated from the repercussions stemming from a potential hack – even if, as cold as it may sound, the human toll were significant.
Others, though, would have far more exposure. Autonomous cars are fundamental to Uber and Lyft’s future survival, since they would eliminate each company’s biggest expense: paying drivers. Without the technology, both will likely crumble under the pressure of their own debt loads, explaining why they spend so aggressively and continuously chase outside capital to make it happen. So unlike Google and Apple, Uber and Lyft’s very existence is closely intertwined with the efficacy of self-driving technology – meaning the fallout from a serious hacking incident would be far more difficult to overcome.
Tesla is very much in the same boat. In many ways, Elon Musk has hitched his company’s future to autonomous driving, not only promising driverless cars before anyone else but making bold claims about the purported safety of the technology. Tesla already has a history of missing ambitious, self-imposed deadlines, so it’s easy to dismiss such talk as Musk being Musk. But given all the problems that have bedeviled Tesla thus far – which include a driver dying after activating the Model S’s autonomous features and several batteries catching fire – it’d be hard to overstate the impact a significant hacking event would have on its business.
Perhaps the first hacking incident dates back to the late nineteenth century when a group of boys patched into Bell Telephone’s systems and disconnected and re-rerouted a series of calls. It was considered a practical joke then. Now, of course, hacks are not as benign. As tech continually expands into new areas, the stakes will only get higher, and as with anything, some will have more to lose than others when something goes amiss.

Sharing Your WiFi Password Between iPhones Is Easy.
Unlock the device sharing the WiFi password. Make sure it is connected to the WiFi you want to share.
Tap the WiFi network on the device you want to connect.
On the device sharing the WiFi password, tap Share Password, then tap Done.
If The Share WiFi Button Is Not Popping Up, It Could Be Due To The Following Reasons:
The devices are not updated to their latest version.
WiFi and Bluetooth are not both turned on.
You are not signed in to iCloud.
You do not have the other person’s email address in your Contacts.
The devices are too far from each other.
Sharing a WiFi password from an iPhone to an Android device requires a QR code generator. Free apps like Visual Codes or Qrafter help generate QR codes.
The app allows you to create a QR code for the WiFi password. With the QR code, the other user can point their device’s camera at the code to connect to the network. A message may pop up asking the user to confirm connecting to the network. Once confirmed, the device is connected!
To share the WiFi password from Android to iPhone, follow the steps below to generate a QR code without an app.
Tap Network Details on the Android connected to the WiFi network.
Tap Share, which has an iron of a QR code above it.
You may need to verify your identity with a fingerprint before accessing the QR code.
Grab the Android you wish to connect to the WiFi. Use the camera to connect to the QR code.
Another Option Is Nearby Sharing.
Follow the steps above to generate the QR code to share the WiFi password.
Tap the Nearby option below the QR code. The device will search for nearby devices.
On the device you wish to connect to the WiFi, a pop-up will appear informing you that a device nearby is sharing.
Confirm that you wish to connect.
On the device sharing the WiFi, click the name of the other device.
On the device that you wish to connect, tap Accept.
You may wonder why to bother going through these measures to share the password securely. After all, if you make the password easy to communicate, such as “ConnectToWiFi123,” none of your friends would have issues connecting.
However, your WiFi password should be a unique combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. It should look like a nightmare to say verbally.
A weak password is the easiest way for hackers to access your Wifi network. The strongest defense against hackers is strong and unique passwords. If they hack into your network, all the connections you make on that WiFi network are at risk. Your sensitive data can be stolen and used for identity theft purposes.
Keep your WiFi network secure by keeping your WiFi password hard to guess and a secret from others. Additionally, consider purchasing personal cybersecurity to add an extra layer of protection to your data and devices.

Nine of Cisco's home and small office cable modems with router and wireless access point functionality need software updates to fix a critical vulnerability that could allow remote attackers to completely compromise them.
The company has shared the software updates with service providers, so users who obtained the affected equipment from their ISPs or other Cisco resellers should contact those organizations.
The vulnerability is a buffer overflow that results from incorrect validation of input in HTTP requests. If left unpatched, it allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to inject commands and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
"An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted HTTP request to the affected device," Cisco said in a security advisory. "This vulnerability exists whether the device is configured in Router mode or Gateway mode."
The flaw received the highest criticality rating (10.0) on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS), which means it can completely compromise the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the targeted device.
The affected wireless residential gateway products, as Cisco calls them, are: Cisco DPC3212 VoIP Cable Modem, Cisco DPC3825 8x4 DOCSIS 3.0 Wireless Residential Gateway, Cisco EPC3212 VoIP Cable Modem, Cisco EPC3825 8x4 DOCSIS 3.0 Wireless Residential Gateway, Cisco Model DPC3010 DOCSIS 3.0 8x4 Cable Modem, Cisco Model DPC3925 8x4 DOCSIS 3.0 with Wireless Residential Gateway with EDVA, Cisco Model DPQ3925 8x4 DOCSIS 3.0 Wireless Residential Gateway with EDVA, Cisco Model EPC3010 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem and Cisco Model EPC3925 8x4 DOCSIS 3.0 with Wireless Residential Gateway with EDVA.
There is currently no workaround for addressing this vulnerability aside from updating the software.
Users with direct Cisco service contracts can obtain the patched software versions directly from the company's website and those without such contracts should contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center. | https://www.computerworld.co.nz/article/550287/vulnerability_exposes_some_cisco_home_wireless_devices_hacking/?utm_medium=rss&utm_source=tagfeed |
Feds have given $7.7B in EHR money to doctors, hospitals
The U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has dispensed more than $7.7B in reimbursement payments to more than 307,000 healthcare professionals and 4,000 hospitals deploying electronic health records (EHRs).
The total cost for the EHR incentive program is expected to hit $22.5 billion over the next decade, according to the latest estimate provided by the Office of Management and Budget.
To date, 58% of the 521,000 eligible healthcare professionals in the U.S. have signed up for both the Medicare and Medicaid EHR meaningful use program reimbursements. A whopping eighty-one percent of hospitals, or 4,057 of 5,011 facilities, have done the same, according to the CMS.
Among those who received reimbursement money for EHR deployments were about 252,000 medical doctors, 17,000 nurse practitioners, 7,000 dentists, 7,000 podiatrists, 10,000 optometrists, 7,000 podiatrists, 6,000 chiropractors, and 2,000 nurse midwives, according to CMS's most recent data on the Medicare and Medicaid EHR Incentive Programs, which runs through September 30, 2012.
The number of hospitals and private physician practices deploying electronic medical records has leaped over the past two years because of fast approaching deadlines to deploy EHRs or face penalties.
Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, physicians who implement EHR systems and demonstrate that they are engaged in meaningful use of such systems can receive reimbursements of as much as $44,000 under Medicare, or as much as $65,000 under Medicaid. Hospitals can receive funds from both the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
The federal government is requiring healthcare facilities eventually to achieve three stages of meaningful use of EHRs by over the next five years. To date, Stages 1 and 2 of meaningful use criteria has been defined by the U.S. Office of the National Coordinator of Health IT (ONC).
On average, hospitals receive about $4 million in reimbursements, but the largest single facilities can expect to receive as much as $12 million, said Dr. Mitch Morris, national leader for health IT at Deloitte Consulting.
The federal funds to date have all been dispensed for proving meaningful use of EHRs that are stage one certified. While eligible healthcare providers should begin preparing for Stage Two of meaningful use, providers are not required to meet Stage 2 meaningful use before 2014.

Stranger Things and there's some serious 80's nostalgia in my car right now. I know I could emulate most of the games on these systems but there's something fun about sitting down and playing with my first computer or playing on an old console.
Funny enough, you know that there's probably more compute power on any one of our phones than in that entire car.
An unboxing series on YouTube would be most appreciated.

When you're done watching and finish crying into your pillow because you have to wait for season 2, you should check out Mr Robot.
HA! I wish, I had to wait for my wife, I'm still waiting to start EPISODE 2! But yes, I've been watching Mr Robot from Ep 1, good stuff too. After The 100 I'll have to sync up with your Netflix feed and see what other stuff I've been missing.
lol I thought you were going to say like 9.99.
Wow... you got palm pilots! lol the games.. no kings quest? Holy point n click batman | https://community.infosecinstitute.com/discussion/122220/went-to-a-nerd-garage-sale-and-came-out-with-a-car-full-of-nostalgia |
U.S. technology companies led an annual survey rating the strength of corporate patent portfolios, with Microsoft coming out on top.
According to the IEEE Spectrum patent scorecard, the so-called “pipeline power” of Microsoft’s patent portfolio was the highest among all companies, with Intel coming in second and IBM third. The IEEE Spectrum is a magazine put out by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, a technology trade organization.
The survey scores a company’s patent-pipleline power by considering a variety of factors, including the number of patents issued to the company in a given year, the growth of its patent portfolio and the variety of the technologies a company patents.
The survey gave Microsoft, which appears in the Computer Software category, a score of 3505, the highest of all the companies included in the survey. Intel, which appears in the Semiconductor Manufacturing category, received a score of 2796; and IBM, which appears in the Computer Systems category, received a score of 2747.
Other U.S. technology companies that scored high in the survey are Micron, with a score of 1707; Nantero, with a score of 1321; SanDisk, with a score of 1220; and HP, with a score of 1175.
Acquiring patents is seen as a way to gauge a company’s ability to create and develop new technologies, so having a healthy patent pipeline tends to bode well for a company’s ability to continue releasing relevant technologies that its customers will find useful.
Companies also can use their patent portfolios to disrupt competitors and gain revenue from companies that want to use their patented technologies. Microsoft, for example, has made claims that it holds patents for technologies in Linux, which open-source proponents viewed as a tactic to discourage people from using open-source software. Microsoft and other companies also have cross-licensing patent agreements in which companies pay to use technologies other companies have patented. | https://www.pcworld.com/article/532699/article-7224.html |

Many modern laptops include both Nvidia graphics hardware and integrated Intel GPUs. Those laptops use a technology called Nvidia Optimus to intelligently switch between the two. Intel’s CPU-integrated graphics power the desktop for lower power usage, while Nvidia’s more capable GeForce graphics kick into gear when you need them.
That’s the way it works with Windows at least. But as good as the Nvidia drivers for Linux are, Optimus power-switching isn’t properly supported on Linux. There are ways to enable it, however.
Nvidia’s official Optimus support
Nvidia has provided some Optimus support since 2013. It’s not as slick and convenient as it is on Windows, but it’s something.
On Ubuntu or Linux Mint, you’ll need to install the “nvidia-prime” package from your package manager first. Other Linux distributions may require additional configuration. After you do, you can open the graphical Nvidia X Server Settings application and choose between the Nvidia and Intel graphics hardware. You’ll see a “Select the GPU you would like to use” option under “PRIME Profiles” in the window.
Some computers offer a switch for this in their BIOS or UEFI firmware settings screen, although most don’t.
If you’re lucky, you may be able to head to the BIOS and disable the Intel graphics entirely, forcing your computer to only use the Nvidia GeForce graphics. Linux will just see the Nvidia graphics hardware and everything will work normally, as if the Nvidia hardware was the only graphics hardware in your system. You won’t have to configure anything special in Linux.
The Bumblebee project was created to reverse-engineer the way Optimus works on Windows and implement it similarly on Linux.
When you use Bumblebee, you must start an application with the “primusrun” command. This will activate the Nvidia GPU only while that application is running—just like on Windows. There’s no need to log out and log back in. It all happens on the fly, although you do have to run the command. It doesn’t just automatically switch when you launch an application, as it does on Windows. However, you can configure Steam to automatically run games with primusrun.
The official Steam website provides instructions for setting up Bumblebee to help get you started. This is a bit more work to set up and isn’t officially supported by Nvidia, but it’s the only way to have Linux automatically switch between the Nvidia and Intel GPUs when running specific applications. If you want Linux to use the Intel GPU on your laptop most of the time and the Nvidia GPU when running games, this is the only solution.
The Nouveau project—which creates an open-source, reverse-engineered Nvidia graphics driver—also has some support for this via “Nouveau Prime.” However, the Nouveau driver isn’t anywhere near as fast as the Nvidia driver for 3D graphics performance. To be frank, Nouveau still just isn’t a good option for most gamers at all. Non-gamers will be happy with the Intel graphics hardware, anyway. | https://www.pcworld.com/article/428441/how-to-use-nvidia-optimus-to-switch-active-gpus-and-save-power-on-linux-laptops.html |

Unprecedented connectivity of modern mobile phones brings along the same risks as with laptops or home computers as well as any device that benefits from an Internet connection. Smartphones today collect an impressive amount of personal data, from the privacy sensitive (photos, SMSs, personal documents) to the security sensitive (online banking data, financial or personal information). The first thing about safeguarding secrets is not to have any, but this is a hard thing to do when in the world of possibilities revealed by modern technology. Not doing any online banking in order to keep your bank account safe may sound like not ever seeing the sea in order not to drown, or even worse. Fortunately, a safe approach to mobile and smartphone usage can ensure the benefits while avoiding the risks.
Password and PIN. First things first: protecting your phone with a strong password and/or personal PIN closes the first gate of access into your privacy. Enable auto-lock if available.
Think before you install apps. Even if it seems a fun idea at the time, with the tons of mobile apps out there you should be careful which one you install – and for what reasons. Make sure the application you install is from a trusted source, read user reviews and check app’s and developer’s rating before you install. In the mobile market, search for anti-spyware software and install it to prevent being watched without your knowledge or other unwanted stealthy (and ill intended) interventions.
Use security software. Using latest version of security software and keeping it on automatic update is a must. Mobile markets show a booming trend in terms of usage and connectivity, with smartphones and particularly Android platforms being the most active. Third party applications can pose a risk, as more and more malicious APKs appear on the market, masked as harmless software. As mobile stores cannot guarantee all the applications they display are safe, the growing emergence of malware and greyware (applications that can pose a security risk if used inadvertently, or is otherwise undesirable, such as spyware and adware) on these markets calls for trustworthy, dedicated security products.
Keep software up to date. Beginning with the OS and security software you should use, always keep the software up to date. Patches and security updates released regularly by the developers and malware signature databases updated by security products vendors should dramatically decrease the risks.
Keep an eye on the links. Same with any other device that uses the Internet, double-check the links you are about to click. See also Learn how to identify phishing e-mails.
Prevent theft, enable recovery. The more personal data stored on you mobile phone, the more careful you should be about not losing it in the first place. If such thing occurs, modern phones provide features such as tracing and tracking software and remote wipe – so make sure you enable them when you start using your phone. Make a habit out of backing up the data on your mobile phone on a regular basis.
Use an encryption solution along with security software. Search for and install an encryption solution for your smartphone to keep the exchange of data secured.
Take precautions when connecting to public WiFi spots.
Use it for what it does. If you’re using your phone to connect to the Internet for reading e-mails, surfing the web, gaming, social networking and other activities involving an Internet connection, in terms of security you should treat it as you do your laptop or your computer at home. | https://www.av-comparatives.org/it-security-tips/how-to-safeguardprotect-my-mobile-phone/ |
Researchers last month stumbled across a server run by cybercriminals that contained 1.4 gigabytes of stolen business and personal data from 40 businesses around the world.
Finjan Software researchers found compromised data from patients and bank customers as well as business email messages and stolen Outlook accounts and messages on the Malaysia-based server, which has since been shut down. The server had been running for just three weeks before it was found by Finjan and the data was stolen from victims in the U.S., Germany, France, India, England, Spain, Canada, Italy, the Netherlands, and Turkey.
This was one busy server: Aside from gathering the data, the server was also a command and control server for the malware that ran on the infected PCs. “The Command & Control applications on this Crimeserver enabled the hacker to manage the actions and performance of his Crimeware, giving him control over the uses of the Crimeware as well as its victims. Since the stolen data was left unprotected on the Crimeserver, without any access restrictions or encryption, the data were freely available for anyone on the Web, including criminal elements,” the researchers wrote in a report posted today .
Some 5,388 different log files were found on the server, most of which were from Turkey, Germany, and the U.S. Finjan says it discovered the illicit server while running its real-time code inspection technology to diagnose customers’ Web traffic. | https://www.darkreading.com/attacks-breaches/crime-server-discovered-containing-1-4-gigabytes-of-stolen-data |

Today’s generation has little to no concept of paying for the news they consume, EU press agencies say.
They go online, and they head to Facebook, Twitter or the like to consume news sourced by reporters putting their lives on the line in dangerous locations such as Syria, Zimbabwe, Cameroon or Myanmar.
We get that news without paying a dime to pay for journalists’ livelihoods or for the news bureaus that support them, the photographers or video reporters who also put their lives on the line to send us visual testimony, or for the editing teams who stitch the stories together and check them for accuracy or bias.
Google, Facebook and other internet giants are making billions, while news agencies are withering on the vine: that’s the message from a group of nine European press agencies that on Thursday called for internet giants to be forced to pay copyright for using news content on which they make vast profits.
