Unless you are reading this from the Olympic Village in London, I’m going to guess that the odds of you one day enjoying Olympic glory are several hundredths of a decimal point removed from “minimal.” Not to worry: Flick Champions World Edition gives you a chance to enjoy some time on the medal stand, and the only muscles you’ll need to exert reside within your index finger.
Gold Rush: Simple controls and on-screen instructions help you lead your athlete to glory in Flick Champions World Edition. In javelin, for example, a flick of the finger sends your athlete running down the track and a tap at the right moment makes him hurl his javelin onto the field.
The iPhone and iPad game, published by Chillingo, offers eight sports and several gameplay modes for showing off your simulated athletic prowess. It’s a fun little app, though your enjoyment can vary wildly from event to event.
You can play a quick game in any of World Edition’s eight sports: running, swimming, handball, javelin, volleyball, kayak, hammer throw, and—I swear I am not including this just to confirm you’re still paying attention—synchronized swimming. Each sport lets you choose from three difficultly levels and gives you several options for optimizing your event. In running, for example, you can toggle between three distances and decide whether to throw hurdles into the mix. Volleyball provides three options for how many points it takes to win a match. There’s a lot of ways to keep yourself entertained.
Other gameplay modes include a championship round in which you compete in four separate events at increasing degrees of difficulty to win a medal, and a tournament-style cup competition for each sport (again with different levels of difficulty). A Daily Challenge gives you three tasks—score a certain number of points, throw the javelin and the hammer a set amount of meters—and 24 hours in which to complete them. Do so, and you rack up experience points and collect tokens.
Swimmer’s Little Helper: Yes, that’s a little booster attached to my swimmer in the lane on the right. And while that might get me disqualified from the real Olympics, it’s all perfectly legal in Flick Champions World Edition.
The tokens are important in Flick Champions World Edition because they can be redeemed for one-time bonuses that the International Olympic Committee might frown on in real life but which can help your block-headed athlete go for the gold. In swimming, you can pay a token to attach a scooter on your swimmer for an extra speed boost, while in javelin, you can opt for a trident that will travel a little farther than your standard equipment. You can use in-app purchases to unlock bonuses and load up on tokens if you like. But if in-app purchases annoy you as much as they do me, you needn’t worry: Winning competitions and playing Flick Champions World Edition will earn you tokens and unlock items in due time.
The game plays about the same on the iPhone as it does on the iPad, though Apple’s tablet affords more room for little details like spectators. You’ve also got more room for the two-player mode on the iPad. Flick Champions splits the screen in two for versus mode, with each player controlling their side. It’s playable on the iPhone, but things feel a lot less cramped on the iPad.
Controls themselves are pretty straightforward, and the game helpfully includes onscreen instructions to remind you where and how to flick and tap. That said, some of the individual events do a better job of implementing the finger-flicking controls. Running and swimming, for example, require you to simply slide your finger back and forth to propel your athlete toward the finish line. Kayak, however, makes you alternate flicks to operate your paddles—a tricky proposition, particularly on the iPhone’s smaller screen. I also found the flicking in the handball game to be less responsive and intuitive than I’d prefer.
Just as the controls vary from game to game, so too will your enjoyment level for each event. Personally, I think the javelin game is just great, the running and swimming events are solid, and the volleyball is surprisingly fun. Kayak, on the other hand, is just too frustrating for me to enjoy, and the synchronized swimming—in which you flick your four swimmers into selected spots on the pool—strikes me as a weird way to pass the time. Your preferences, of course, may be entirely different from mine.
The trick, then, with an app like Flick Champions World Edition is whether there are enough enjoyable events to compensate for the lackluster ones. For me, there are, and the app’s assorted gameplay modes and challenges keep things from getting too dull and predictable. Should Olympic fever has you wanting to chase some medals of your own, then Flick Champions World Edition can satisfy that lust for gold.

In August 2018, hackers gained access to AMCA’s systems, that remained undetected for almost a year (Whittaker, 2019). The breach resulted in over 25 million patient records to be compromised (Davis, 2019). AMCA, the American Medical Collection Agency, is a company providing billing and collection services for many large organisations in the healthcare sector. Among its clients are medical laboratory testing businesses, healthcare providers and clinical laboratories (Quest, n.d.). As a result of the data breach, AMCA has lost many clients and it is currently facing lawsuits and state investigations. AMCA has filed for bankruptcy protection (Whittaker, 2019).
The hackers gained access to a system containing various types of data. Some of their clients provided financial information, Social Security Numbers and medical information (Quest, n.d.), while others also provided names, addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, dates of service, balance information and treatment provider information (Davis, 2019; Whittaker, 2019).
The value of this personal information to cybercriminals is that they can use credit card information to steal money from the affected patients, or they can fraudulently obtain money from financial or social service providers (Davis, 2019; SecureHospitals.eu, 2019). Additionally, cybercriminals can run personalised phishing campaigns, or sell the information and to use it to the detriment of the affected consumers. If, for example, they learn from the stolen data that you are a customer of a clinical laboratory, the dates of your visits and the remaining unpaid balance, they can run a whole range of online scams and extortion.
The problem of data breaches also affects the medical research sector. University research projects have recently become main hacking targets, with over 1,000 cyber attacks last year (Amorosi, 2019).
Organisations that handle sensitive data need to ensure the security of their clients. For this, experts advise creating a joint security framework that includes technology, processes, training, and staff (Davis, 2019). The problem that many healthcare organisations and research institutions face however is a shortage of security personnel and little to no budget allocated to cybersecurity. Additionally, it is not uncommon for medical researchers to use unofficial and unapproved software to communicate with colleagues and to store and process data. This often goes against organisational policies and poses a huge risk for IT security systems (Amorosi, 2019). | https://www.securehospitals.eu/the-amca-case-hacking-and-data-breaches-in-healthcare/ |

Getting ready for 2020 so I downloaded bitdefender free. I warns me on just about every sight that I go to that something is wrong. I get this:
I understand the risks, take me there anyway
Got an email to verify my account and I get the same message. It's from them. It will not let me go to verify my account when I click take me there anyway. Never loads the page just the warning again. It even flags sevenforum and I have to click take me there anyway. This dosent sound right. I am running inside sandboxie.
What other AV is there to use that is reliable? Thanks for any help.
When your browser warns you about a certificate error, you should not blindy click "take me anyway" if you don't understand the root cause of the warning. It could be something innocuous like your date being wrong like Samuria said, but it could also be that you're really being attacked and your connection isn't really secure.
Take a look at the error message and identify why it cries, then you can find if it's a false positive or a real problem. As an example, the certificate for sevenforums is correclty setup and I see it with no problems, so there must be a problem with your computer or connection.
It's also unlikely to be related to the antivirus, as those are browser warnings (unless they are caused by your antivirus, not an unlikely thing).
Thanks. The date and time are correct. I am using up to date firefox. How would I go about checking the certificate? Thanks
The certificate used to encrypt your connection to this website could not be verified. Proceed with caution, attackers might try to steal sensitive information from you, such as passwords or credit cards.
Check the error message the browser shows and ask it to view the certificate. Post any screenshots you have if you don't understand them.
Ultimately you should view something along the lines of "invalid date" or "expired" or "not trusted root entity" or something along the lines of them. The exact message and its meaning will determine the course of action and the real cause of the problem.
I think and it causes a conflict. In order to remedy the situation you have to whitelist each and every website. I never had that issue before until about 6 or more months ago and I just got rid of it. I don't use an anti-virus myself and just use Sandboxie for my browser and scan all downloads at Virus Total.
Immunet AntiVirus
I went through AV testing a while back, quite a while actually. BitDefender after install, did scan and it wreaked havoc on my scripts, IT programs, it went nuts on flagging, Panda & another did similar.
I still run Avast, stand alone versions of M-bytes anti-exploit anti-ransomware. FF Quantum, disconnect, HTTPS Everywhere, uBlockOrigin, & Disable HTML 5 AutoPlay. Scan occasionally with ADW/M-Bytes Cleaner, SuperAntiSpyware, HitmanPro, MalwareBytes free (older version, new version removes stand-alone M-Bytes anti-exploit and anti-ransomware)
This is because Bitdefender in their infinite wisdom decides to use their own Cert. If you feel like you browse the wild West then try Immunet which is what I got on my parents computer.

Firefox contains a Javascript API called XPCOM which consists of privileged native methods primarily implemented as C bindings. This API is commonly invoked by Firefox Addons and is also used by the "glue" code running inside the Firefox browser itself. If you can find a way to run Javascript code with access to XPCOM - either by convincing the user to install an untrusted addon or by finding a privilege escalation exploit in Firefox itself - you can open a raw TCP socket and run executables with Javascript. By using some shell redirection, we can get a working command shell connection back to a metasploit instance. We currently have three Firefox privilege escalation exploits in the framework:
exploit/multi/browser/firefox_svg_plugin (Firefox 17.* Flash)
Note: You can use return or send to send back data, but you can only send once.
If you're new to Metasploit, you can get started by downloading Metasploit for Linux or Windows. If you're already tracking the bleeding-edge of Metasploit development, then these modules are but an msfupdate command away. For readers who prefer the packaged updates for Metasploit Community and Metasploit Pro, you'll be able to install the new hotness today when you check for updates through the Software Updates menu under Administration.
Success! Thank you for submission. We will be in touch shortly.

The U.S. government has advanced email security significantly over the course of the past year, thanks to the adoption of the Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) email security protocols.
As of Oct. 16, a large set of U.S. federal government agencies are required to be compliant with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 18-01 binding operational directive (BOD), which mandates the use of DMARC. The directive was issued in October 2017, giving agencies a year to incrementally implement the new email security approach.
"Overall, the DMARC adoption rate is now at 85 percent, which is practically the inverse of where we measured adoption last year," Patrick Peterson, founder and executive chairman at Agari, told eWEEK. "When the DHS announced BOD 18-01 last October, the adoption rate was only 18 percent."
DMARC is a protocol that helps protect the integrity and authenticity of email. DMARC is not a single technology but rather is a combination of several components, including the Sender Policy Framework (SPF) and Domain Keys Identified Email (DKIM), to help verify email authenticity. There are also different levels of DMARC policies. The "p=none" policy enables organizations to monitor their email systems for senders, while the "p=reject" policy will block non-compliant messages completely. BOD 18-01 mandates the use of the p=reject policy by Oct. 16.
"The adoption rate for reject policy is at an overwhelming 74 percent," Peterson said. "Forty-six federal executive branch agencies have reached full compliance, and many of the larger agencies have adoption rates well above 74 percent."
According to Proofpoint, the level of compliance with BOD 18-01 is a bit lower, with 62 percent of federal agency domains deploying a DMARC reject policy as of Oct. 11. In contrast, Proofpoint had previously reported that only 37 percent had the basic "p=none" monitor policy for DMARC in place back on Jan. 11.
"I'm not at all surprised that the number isn’t higher. In fact, I'm fairly encouraged that we are at 62 percent," Robert Holmes, vice president of email security for Proofpoint, told eWEEK. "Not only can DMARC be hard to implement, but the stakes are high if you get it wrong and good email gets blocked."
Holmes added that DMARC adoption by federal agencies does need to be celebrated as it marks a significant improvement. For example, Holmes said that IRS.gov used to be one of the most heavily spoofed domains in the world: now mailbox providers can make cleaner and better decisions in identifying and blocking fraudulent email coming from that domain.
Peterson said that Agari is also very pleasantly surprised by the positive improvement in U.S. government DMARC adoption. When Agari first measured federal DMARC adoption in October 2017, less than 10 percent of federal domains had implemented a reject policy.
"Obviously, BOD 18-01 has been a great success for the DHS and the federal executive branch domains it is charged to protect," Peterson said. "The United States government has set a shining example for how to improve email security. It didn’t happen overnight, but it did happen, which is a valuable lesson for private enterprise to learn."
Non-Compliance
While there is reason for optimism about the improved state of email security in the U.S. government, the reality is that not all federal agencies will meet the deadline. Peterson said that there are almost 300 domains that have not implemented a DMARC policy or moved past the basic monitoring policy.
"Of these domains, 90 percent of them are actively sending email, which means they probably cannot just switch to a reject policy without negatively impacting their email ecosystem," he said.
Peterson added that just because an agency has not adopted DMARC does not mean it is are out of compliance because BOD 18-01 provides an alternative route to compliance: They can provide a plan to adopt DMARC to the DHS.
There are several challenges to adopting DMARC, both within the government and at commercial enterprises. According to Holmes, among the biggest challenges are education, as it takes time for commercial organizations and federal agencies to learn what is needed to properly implement DMARC. Email systems are not always run directly by an agency or organization, which is why Holmes said it is important to identify and work with third-party senders to update their authentication practices to comply with DMARC.
The opportunity for further DMARC adoption across the federal government and those that do business with government is something that Peterson is optimistic about.
"While the DHS directive only applies to a set of government agencies, the technology is equally relevant to the rest of the federal government, including the legislative branch, department of defense, intelligence community and defense contractors," Peterson said. "We are looking forward to those organizations following the success for the directive with their own adoption." | https://www.eweek.com/security/dmarc-email-security-adoption-soars-as-us-government-deadline-hits |

A major data breach of Philippines' Commission on Elections database leaves personal data of 55 million Filipinos vulnerable to cybercrime.
A massive database breach last month of the Philippines' Commission on Elections (COMELEC) leaked online the personal information of over 50 million Filipino voters.
On March 27, the COMELEC website was attacked by a hacker group claiming to be Anonymous, who left a message on the homepage of the website accusing the commission of not properly securing voting machines for the country’s upcoming election. Another associated hacking group, LulzSec Pilipinas, shared a link to the entire COMELEC database of 338GB, comprising data on 54.36 million registered voters.
According to The Guardian, a huge amount of sensitive personally identifiable information (PII) including the fingerprints of 15.8 million individuals and passport information of around 1.3 million overseas voters, had been leaked. “I want to emphasise that the database in our website is accessible to the public. There is no sensitive information there. We will be using a different website for the election, especially for results reporting and that one we are protecting very well,” a COMELEC spokesman said in a statement.
For more details about the mega breach, read the Guardian article.

A Russian hacker has admitted to his involvement in one of the biggest thefts of consumer data from a U.S. financial institution.
Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said Monday that Andrei Tyurin pleaded guilty to computer intrusion, wire fraud, bank fraud and illegal online gambling offenses.
The 35-year-old Russian national from Moscow was extradited from the country of Georgia last year. He's accused of helping steal the personal data of more than 80 million customers from JP Morgan Chase in a hacking scheme uncovered by federal prosecutors four years ago. At the time it was described as the largest single theft of its kind.
Tyurin also allegedly targeted other U.S. financial institutions, brokerage firms, financial news publishers and other American companies. He's scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 13. | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/russian-hacker-andrei-tyurin-manhattan-court-guilty-data-theft-jp-morgan-chase-bank/1828629/ |

Singapore's external trade continued to fall in the first quarter of this year, with declines for total trade, non-oil domestic exports (NODX) and non-oil re-exports (NORX), the city-state's trade promotion agency, International Enterprise Singapore, said Thursday.
This is the third consecutive quarter of decrease for both total trade and NODX. According to the data, the NODX, a key gauge of the trade hub's export performance, contracted 12.5 percent on year in the first three months, following the previous quarter's decline of 4.2 percent, reported Xinhua.
The earlier data also showed that the NODX for April contracted by 1 percent on year.
The agency said the NODX contraction in the first quarter was mainly due to lower shipments of both electronic and non- electronic NODX. "The contraction was exacerbated by high base effects with NODX reaching a record high of 46.3 billion Singapore dollars ($36.7 billion) in Q1 2012," it added.
In particular, the electronic domestic exports decreased by 17.2 percent in the first quarter on year, following the previous quarter's 12.5 percent contraction. Non-electronic NODX declined by 10.1 percent on year, in contrast to the 0.6 percent growth in the previous quarter. | http://www.singaporestar.com/index.php/scat/4a8b544d0e80ba53/ht/China-behind-cyber-attacks-on-US-firms-Beijing-denies |
Textile company Sferra Fine Linens on Friday announced that it has started notifying individuals of a cybersecurity incident involving their personal information.
Founded in 1891, Sferra designs and sells Italian-made luxury linen products, including luxury sheets, table linens, and bedding collections, as well as decorative home accessories.
Sferra has announced that it identified the incident on April 24, but that the threat actor had access to its servers for roughly two weeks prior to that.
Impacted personal information, the company announced, includes names, addresses, birth dates, passport information, driver’s license data, Social Security numbers, financial account information, medical and/or health insurance data, electronic/digital signatures, and account credentials.
Based on the type of compromised data, it appears that it mainly belongs to Sferra employees. However, the company has not shared information on the number of impacted individuals.
“Please note, this event did not impact any of Sferra’s e-commerce platforms or any information retained in our e-commerce systems,” the company says.
It’s unclear if this was an attack conducted by a ransomware gang. SecurityWeek has checked the leak websites of major groups, but has not found any mention of Sferra. | https://b2bchief.com/textile-company-sferra-discloses-data-breach/ |

In an exclusive interview, former Miss USA and Meet the Barkers star Shanna Moakler opens up about her 10-year-old daughter Alabama’s scary experience with cyberbullying.
Shanna tells Life & Style that it all began when a popular YouTube personality known as RiceGum, 19, posted a video taunting Alabama for her precocious pics, vegan lifestyle and inconsistent grammar.
RELATED: Rock Star Travis Barker’s Kids Are All Grown Up and Gorgeous — See Them Today!
Within hours of the video going up, more than 3,000 commenters had posted hateful and repulsive remarks calling the pre-teen a “loser,” “whore” and worse.
“My daughter read a lot of this vicious bullying and started crying,” says the 41-year-old. “We had to explain to her that she was safe and these threats were from people who didn’t know her. It has been so emotionally draining and damaging that I now understand why people commit suicide over cyberbullying.”
Shanna explains that she asked YouTube to take down the video (the company did, citing copyright infringement) and called out RiceGum for picking on a minor. “I told him how wrong this was,” the mother-of-three shares.
However, that only made things worse. Commenters claimed they would work together to “find and kill” her and Travis Barker. “People get obsessive and nuts,” she says. “It’s scary.”

“There’s been nonstop harassment,” Shanna continues. “People think they can say anything because they are faceless, but their comments cause a lot of pain.”
Shanna is determined to help put an end to cyberbullying. “I want to make a documentary about this,” she says. “I want to travel the country and talk to school principals to help stop this in the future.” | https://www.lifeandstylemag.com/posts/shanna-moakler-daughter-travis-barker-cyberbullying-107101/ |

NXP India one of the biggest R&D Centres for NXP Semiconductors, a world leader in secure connectivity solutions for embedded applications organized their 9th Mega Tech Summit- Security & Safety Week. With the theme ‘Are Safety and Security a source of competitive advantage for next-generation products’ the virtually held event shed light on how in the hyper-connected and constantly evolving Indian automotive sector, safety and security technologies should be given due importance.
Cybersecurity and functional safety, multilevel stakeholder collaboration & engagement, and sparking innovation through incentives, were identified as the pathway to an indigenous automotive ecosystem. The four-day long virtual event comprised of multiple engaging keynotes by NXP Global leaders starting with Rafael Sotomayor, Executive Vice President & General Manager, Connectivity & Security, Henri Ardevol, Executive Vice President & General Manager, Automotive Processing, Lars Reger, Executive Vice President & Chief Technology Officer and Steve Owen, Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing.
The four-day Summit comprised of much-awaited Industry Panel Discussion which broached the pressing need of cybersecurity and functional safety for automotive and steps that should be taken in a fast-digitalizing automotive sector. The panel discussion comprised of distinguished leaders from industry, government, and academia who shared insights on the dire necessity of instituting robust security mechanisms, creating public awareness, keeping pace with tech advancements, being ahead in the race against unethical programmers and malicious hackers, and above all, a cooperative ecosystem to foster innovation.
The panel was honored by Lars Regar, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, NXP Semiconductors, Dr. KR Murali Mohan, Mission Director, Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, Dr. Manan Suri, Associate Professor, NVM and Neuromorphic Hardware Research Group, IIT Delhi, Satish Sundaresan, Managing Director, Electrobit India and Mohan Krishna Raj, VP & Global Head, UX Heuman Design, Harman International.
Sanjay Gupta, Vice President, and India Managing Director, NXP Semiconductors, who moderated the panel discussion said, “Collaboration is the key to a secure & connected future. At NXP, we are working with academia, start-ups, and government to boost the ecosystem to be able to cater to create a vibrant ecosystem in the country and proactively address the most important technology challenges”.
The panel highlighted that the line between software and hardware from a cybersecurity and functional safety perspective is increasingly getting blurred and there would be a need to re-look at the problem from a combined perspective.
“Software functionality is important, but all security is actually interlinked and anchored. There’s nothing like distinct software or hardware security, it is the overall security that matters at the end of the day”, said Lars Regar, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, NXP Semiconductors.
The panel further highlighted, with connectivity fast transcending barriers and redefining mobility, complacency regarding security is a strict no-go zone. From in-car infotainment, real-time updates to HD maps for navigation and lane detection, cars of the future would be powered by smart sensors and tech.
Without stringent cybersecurity measures, the entire vehicle can be hacked. The notion that hacking is only limited to software or integrated systems is becoming a thing of the past with integrated and embedded systems coming into play. For strengthening cybersecurity through tech adoption and giving impetus to innovation, multiple players need to be on board. This cannot be done without government incentives, concerted approach and a knowledge sharing framework that involves all stakeholders.
Functional Safety (ISO26262) integration into semiconductors development cycle is a niche skill and requires specialized training. Skilled workforce and keeping the curriculum in sync with latest industry innovations is another imperative for a world-class ecosystem.
“A nation that can do this best in keeping curriculum updated with times and imparting best-in-class training to college grads will have the thought leadership lead when it comes to innovations and building a tech ecosystem”, added Lars.
“Safety and security are non-negotiable. Any future product irrespective of its performance and intelligence cannot capture the mass market without consumer’s ‘trust’.
Hence future belongs to those who take a holistic approach to safety and security and is focused on correct-by-construct approach by building next-generation products and solutions” added Sanjay Gupta.
The 2500+ engineering community of NXP India benefitted from the Technical Tutorial sessions, Tech Talks and Invited Talks on varied Security and Safety topics like Safety Hardware, Security in UWB Products, Over the Air Firmware Upgrade in Automotive, Introduction to Cryptography, Safety for Electrification solutions and many more. It concluded with a poster competition and award ceremony wherein NXP participants presented some cutting-edge ideas on Safety and Security solutions.

Covid-19 has affected the cybersecurity landscape with a new wave of cyber threats where criminals leveraged the pandemic to launch attacks.
According to the data analysed by Atlas VPN, 16.4 million Covid-19 related cyber threats were detected online in 2020.
Rachel Welch, COO of Atlas VPN, shares her thoughts on the situation:
“The pandemic has created the perfect storm for cybercriminals. First of all, many companies were forced to shift to remote work, and less prepared ones became a quick gain for online attackers. Secondly, the general panic and fear of the pandemic made people more susceptible to such threats.”
Out of all the Covid-19 related cyber threats found last year, nearly 89% or around 14.5 million attacks were malicious spam. Next up are harmful URLs — they made up a little over 11%, or 1.85 million of all Covid-19 themed cyber threats in 2020.
Finally, less than 1% or close to 33 thousand of last year’s online threats that leveraged the pandemic were malware. While effective, this cyberattack method requires more advanced technical know-how, which could have been the reason why it was the least employed among the three.
The US is behind more than a third of Covid-19 related cyber threats
The Covid-19 pandemic affected the whole world leaving no stone unturned, however, some countries suffered more than others. Generally, highly affected countries were also the ones behind most of the Covid-themed online threats.
The majority of such threats originated in the United States — the country most affected by the pandemic. It was behind 38% or 6.3 million of Covid-related cyberattacks.
In total, 28% or 4.6 million of Covid-19 online threats came from the three biggest European countries in terms of their population: Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. They also belong to the top ten countries with the most Covid-19 cases.
Cybercriminals in Australia were also active last year and commenced over 770 thousand Covid-19 themed attacks, which account for 5% of all pandemic-related cyber threats of 2020. The origin of the remaining 29% of pandemic-related cyberattacks is unknown. | https://www.bytesites.co.za/2021/03/16/over-16-million-covid-related-cyber-threats-last-year/ |
The recent encounters with Spectre and Meltdown techniques, owing to faults in its microprocessors has shaken the world’s largest chipmaker, Intel. With little options but to introduce safety measures to preserve its brand reputation, a new internal security group was enacted on Monday, January 8, 2018, as the ‘Intel Product Assurance and Security’.
Although there has been no confirmation by Intel on this report, it is heard on the grapevine that Leslie Culbertson, Human Resources chief at Intel, will be presiding over this newly formed group. There is also news of relocation of other leading executives into this cybersecurity group, including Intel Vice President Steve Smith.
According to a report by Oregonian, ahead of his keynote address on Monday, at the Consumer Electronics Show in LA, Brian Krzanich, CEO of Intel sent out a memo to its employees stressing the need to maintain the customer-first attitude while responding diligently to customer requests. “It is critical that we continue to work with the industry, to excel at customer satisfaction, to act with uncompromising integrity, and to achieve the highest standards of excellences.” He said.
Krzanich revealed “Tangle Lake” a 49-qubit superconducting quantum chip at the Consumer Electronics Show. As the chipmaker is setting new benchmarks, it is quite likely that they need to adopt and display effective measures, for the recently discovered imperfections in its products.

Kelly Dempski A few years ago, everyone seemed to be interested in talking about “Web 2.0”. I’m usually suspicious of such buzzwords, and I tried to avoid it whenever possible. This was especially true when people started to use it to talk about “whatever new thing I want to promote”, or when they tried to extrapolate to Web 3.0 and beyond. I finally threw up my hands in disgust when someone asked, in all earnestness, “isn’t that really Web 3.5?”
So, without using version numbers, I want to talk about two distinct generations of the internet. The first generation was mainly about using the network to move content from point A to point B. We created, if you’ll excuse the term, a superhighway for information. FTP accomplished this, followed by the web. (I’m old enough to know what gopher is, but not old enough to care.) Content, they said, was King, and this King, like so many others, was typified by broadcast messages from few to many, with very little listening.
The second generation, which has no distinct start date (what important generations do?), was a shift away from pure content delivery to an internet that connected people and supported relationships. We could say, in a sense, that “Contact is King”. Yes, it’s not perfect, but I’m trying to maintain the rhythm of the original cliché, and in any case, you know what I mean. I tell people in presentations that this is nothing new. People have prioritized interpersonal relationships for a long time. It’s just that the technology has finally evolved to support it. In fact, many different electronic technologies are evolving in the same direction. The most successful games are highly social, location-based services have finally achieved some relevance in the form of social applications, iPods are now video conferencing devices, and now Apple has added more social capabilities into iTunes in the form of the Ping service.
At this point, I have no idea whether Ping will take off, although I do have personal opinions about its viability as a stand-alone social network. Instead, I only want to highlight the fact that social connectivity is now an undeniable part of everything we do. It’s part of how we experience a product, it’s part of how we inform ourselves as customers, patients, and friends, and it’s part of what we expect from vendors. In a few cases, the incorporation of social functionality is gimmicky, but in most cases, it’s a logical extension of a service that is used by actual human beings. To my legions of long time readers, I likely sound like a broken record, and I promise that the next posting will be on a different topic, but in the meantime, the point is that “social” is not optional. Very soon it will be the baseline, just as basic HTML websites were simply expected of businesses in the late 90s. If “social” is infused into everything that matters, how are you taking advantage of that? Read Article | http://www.accenture.com/us-en/blogs/technology-labs-blog/archive/2010/09.aspx |

“It is a crime that involves the illegal access and use of an individual’s personal and/or financial information. ID theft can result in financial loss and seriously damage a victim’s credit history, requiring substantial effort to repair. ID theft often sets in motion, or makes a victim more vulnerable, to other types of financial fraud.” [Source]
Texas Penal Code §32.51 is the section that provides for ID Theft as a crime in Texas. It states that “A person commits an offense if the person, with the intent to harm or defraud another, obtains, possesses, transfers, or uses an item of identifying information of another person without the other person's consent…”
My identity has been stolen. What do I do now?
Remain calm.
This will be a lengthy and stressful process, but as long as you know you are following a plan, you can increase your chances of solving most, if not all of the problems you face, and increase your chances of recovering as much as the money you have lost as possible.
Your first step will probably not involve notifying authorities; although that is one of the steps you will likely take.
Your very first step will be to pull your credit report from all 3 major credit reporting agencies.
This is free if you have not received a copy of your report in the previous 12 months. In most cases, you can do this online.
PREPARATION and ORGANIZATION will help you immensely as you navigate through this process. Keep track of your time and expenses with as much documentation and journaling as possible. Start a file, if not several files, so that you can keep your information organized.
Follow the ID Theft Toolkit on this website to help you through this process.
The chance of recovering all of the money you have lost is slim. However, the toolkit provided on Txlawhelp.org and the other resources will help ensure that you receive as much money as possible.
You may have the opportunity in the future to sue the thief and recover some losses. In order to do this, you will need to consider that your recovery will take some diligent and time-consuming work on your part.
How can I prevent having my identity stolen?
Secure your social security number (SSN). Don’t carry your social security card in your wallet or write your number on your checks. Only give out your SSN when absolutely necessary.
Don’t respond to unsolicited requests for personal information (your name, birthdate, social security number, or bank account number) by phone, mail, or online.
Watch out for “shoulder surfers.” Shield the keypad when typing your passwords on computers and at ATMs.
Collect mail promptly. Ask the post office to put your mail on hold when you are away from home for several days.
Pay attention to your billing cycles. If bills or financial statements are late, contact the sender.
Review your receipts. Promptly compare receipts with account statements. Watch for unauthorized transactions.
Shred receipts, credit offers, account statements, and expired cards, to prevent “dumpster divers” from getting your personal information.
Store personal information in a safe place at home and at work.
Install firewalls and virus-detection software on your home computer.
Create complex passwords that identity thieves cannot guess easily. Change your passwords if a company that you do business with has a breach of its databases
Order your credit report once a year and review to be certain that it doesn't include accounts that you have not opened. Check it more frequently if you suspect someone has gained access to your account information.
I have reported my ID theft to several agencies. Why haven’t they called me back?
Reporting is important. It will allow you to assert certain rights, it will allow research agencies to more accurately account for how much identity theft is occurring, and where and when and to whom it is occurring, it allows for the sharing of information to other reporting agencies that can protect consumers by working on prevention and detecting fraud.
That said, sometimes those are the only purposes for reporting. In other words, in many cases, the act of reporting does not cause a case to be opened or an investigation to begin. Therefore, the agency will not have a need to return your call or to follow-up on your report. Managing expectations regarding your claims will help you as you work to clear up all the problems resulting from this criminal act.
What if no one finds out who stole my identity?
This is often the case. However, this does not necessarily prevent the victim from being able to recover their money. In some cases, organizations, institutions, and even the credit reporting agencies may be liable for some of the damages you have incurred.
You may want to contact the National Crime Victim Bar Association for a referral to an attorney who can litigate on your behalf. Often times you can find private attorneys that will offer their initial consultations at no cost or obligation.

Forged documents including driving licenses, passports, and auto-insurance cards can be ordered to match stolen data.
The research team scanned dark web marketplaces, forums, and websites, to create the price index for a range of products and services relating to personal data, counterfeit documents, and social media.
Credit card details are usually formatted as a simple code that includes card number, associated dates and CVV, along with account holders’ data such as address, ZIP code, email address, and phone number.
A full range of documents and account details allowing identity theft can be obtained for $1285.
Criminals can switch the European ID for a U.S. passport for an additional $950, bringing the total to $2,235 for enough data and documents to do any number of fraudulent transactions. | https://www.privacy.com.sg/cybersecurity/how-much-is-your-data-worth-on-the-dark-web/ |
What a world! In just the last few months, businesses across the globe have been shaken by a series of unprecedented events, many of which reverberated to the bottom line. For corporate risk managers, whose job is to identify the value-killer risks to their organizations' operations, financial soundness, people and strategy, discerning such events and devising ways to soften the blows is tantamount to predicting next month's weather in Florida.
Indeed, few risk managers anticipated the extent of the tragic events in Japan that are sure to disrupt their organizations in ways that only now are beginning to be understood. The same applies to spreading political instability in the Middle East. Earthquakes in Haiti, Chile and New Zealand; huge snowstorms in the Northeastern United States; a massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico; a global financial crisis and consequent recession; swine flu pandemic; and a horde of recent hackings against major companies are just a few of the other out-of-the-blue events ripping carefully prepared strategic plans in half. Add widespread fears of reputational disasters caused by WikiLeaks-type revelations, rising inflation in China and India, and the numbing effect of regulation-after-regulation-after-regulation, and the job of the risk manager becomes one for the more resilient among us.
Treasury & Risk reached out to several thick-skinned risk managers to determine what they see as their top five concerns in 2011. Surprisingly, there was more agreement about the top five than there was disagreement. While many readers may affirm their choices, others may dispute them, wondering why no one selected the risk of an asteroid hitting Wall Street. That said, we decided The Sky Is Falling made for a darn good headline anyway.
In no particular order, here is what the risk managers came up with as this year's top worries.
Hewlett-Packard's former CEO Mark Hurd, who lost his job in part because his computer was reportedly determined to contain soft-core pornographic videos of a marketing contractor, certainly can relate. But cyber crimes involve more than revelations of private behaviors.
"We all hear about the large attacks that occur, but the truth is there is a staggering number of hackings out there," says Nowell Seaman, director of risk management at the University of Saskatchewan and a member of the board of the Risk and Insurance Management Society (RIMS). "Much of this fortunately is repelled, but cyber risk is really a 'many-headed Hydra.'"We experience multiple attacks on our systems every day," says Pete Fahrenthold, managing director of risk management at United Airlines. "An airline has so much infrastructure tied to computer systems that can be disrupted. We also have access to a vast amount of consumer personal data that can be stolen."
The solution, if it can be called that, is the usual mix of anti-virus software, data encryption, intrusion detection systems, clear policies and procedures for workers handling personal data, and other risk prevention strategies. But as Seaman points out, "While you can design intrusion prevention systems and maintain a cutting edge program of data security, hackers are always trying to get one step ahead of the mousetrap."
When all else fails, at least victims can rely on cyber coverage, which transfers much of the risk to third-party insurers, including the costs of such headaches as notifying people that their personal data has been compromised. "We pursue state-of-the-art cyber-risk management and buy cyber insurance, which help us to reduce the exposure," Fahrenthold says. "Still, it's one risk that concerns me a great deal."
Supply UnChained
The devastating events in Japan are sure to disrupt global supply chains, given the great number of companies in the country that manufacture parts for consumer electronics devices like Apple's iPad and Toshiba's flat-screen TV. Japanese companies also make parts for automobiles and jet airliners, among others. Small wonder risk managers at companies that rely on overseas manufacturing and sales selected supply chain risk as a top concern. Indeed, there are myriad ways in which just-in-time manufacturing can become "when-it-arrives" manufacturing. As John Merkovsky, global leader of Marsh Risk Consulting, puts it, "There is a very large, complex series of interdependencies that drive a product from raw material to the finished goods. The issue is not supply chain risk, it's supply chain risks."
It's not just Mother Nature that can slow the delivery of a key component to a manufacturer. For example, the liquidity problems in the wake of the global financial crisis whipped up concerns over supplier solvency. If a vital sole-source supplier went belly up, its buyers would confront manufacturing delays affecting their relations with their own buyers. "Whether it's political instability in the Caribbean and the Middle East or an earthquake in New Zealand, there are supply chain repercussions," says Eric Andersen, CEO of Aon Risk Solutions U.S. "With the Chinese government getting very itchy about developments in Egypt, Tunisia and other countries--and so many U.S. and European manufacturers depending on goods from China--supply chain risks are heightened for many risk managers."
Such risks certainly have been elevated for Dave Hennes, director of risk management at the Toro Co., a Minneapolis-based manufacturer of lawn care products with $1.6 billion in annual revenue. "We have moved a fair amount of production into Juarez, Mexico, and have some key plants there," Hennes explains. "The problem is the much-reported violence there. We're concerned about the impact on our production of lawn care products, like Home Depot walk-power mowers, just as the spring selling season is beginning." | http://www.treasuryandrisk.com/2011/04/01/the-sky-is-falling--top-5-threats-in-2011?t=risk-management&page=3 |

The Stay Smart Online Small Business Guide was launched in October as part of Stay Smart Online Week, and involved collaboration with ANZ, Australia Post, Commonwealth Bank, NAB, Telstra and Westpac.
Minister for Communications Mitch Fifield said research commissioned by their department shows that only 2% of small business operators consider online business security a priority. Only 1 in 4 believed there was a risk of having their electronic system “held to ransom”.
The guide provides valuable tips for small business owners who want to make sure their business’s online security is up to scratch. When it comes to protecting against cyber-crime, you can’t be too careful. Download the full guide here or read our summary below.
In September 2015, Kmart Australia got into serious trouble when an “external privacy breach” was revealed – and the very next day, David Jones reported it had experienced a similar hack. Aussie Farmers Direct was hacked in late October. Hackers had been able to access customers’ identity details including email addresses, delivery and billing addresses, and phone numbers.
What follows are the main tips that business owners should take away from the guide, in order to prevent such cyber threats.
Here at CANSTAR, we regularly compare what’s on offer for business life and income insurance, car insurance for your company car, and home and contents insurance for your home office, among many more financial products for your business. But we don’t compare insurance for your business data – because there’s no such thing.
That’s why you need to regularly back-up all of your business information and data.
Technology has made backing up your business data easier than ever before. Use a removable storage device, so that you can take your back-up home with you at the end of the day.
You should also sign up for a reputable cloud-based service, so that even if your computer literally blows up, you can buy a new computer and recover your information from the internet. Just make sure that cloud-based back-up is password protected.
Confidentiality
Keep your friends close, and your information closer.
When it comes to software and back-ups, look for applications that let you set up multiple log-ins for “administrator” level access and “user” level access. Avoid using software where you can only create one log-in and all your employees can access all of your business information and data.
Awareness
Make sure that your employees, business partners, suppliers, even family stay up-to-date on the latest scams to look out for. Regularly check the government’s ScamWatch website for the latest phishing scams.
Keep in touch with the daily news so that you know when a new, better way of doing your business security is developed or launched.
Network and device security
Choose anti-virus software that works and has a regular automatic update, so you can’t forget to update it to protect against new threats. Never use public Wi-Fi.

HERNDON, Va., June 23 /PRNewswire/ -- In a May testimony to the U.S. House of Representatives Armed Services Committee Subcommittee on Terrorism, Unconventional Threats and Capabilities, Robert Lentz -- U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Cyber, Identity and Information Assurance -- championed the role that Transglobal Secure Collaboration Program (TSCP) plays in the fight against a growing number of cyber attacks.
Lentz's testimony focused on DoD security initiatives to "enhance the Department's and the nation's information assurance/cybersecurity posture." With threats to national security on the rise, the imperative to lock down information assurance grows. By crediting TSCP as a key player in the world of "standardized identity credentialing," Lentz acknowledges TSCP's critical contribution to this increasingly vital area.
"The Department's use of hardware-based identity credentials for access to networks and information systems has shut down known attack vectors, demonstrably decreased attacks, and elevated the security posture to our network by denying anonymity to attackers," said Lentz. "Identity interoperability with industry and international groups will help with secure information sharing and force protection."
As members of TSCP, the U.S. DoD and other government organizations -- including the U.S. General Services Administration, U.K. Ministry of Defence, the Netherlands Ministry of Defence and partners, including BAE Systems, Boeing, EADS, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and others -- work together on common standards for secure collaboration across the global aerospace and defense (A&D) industry.
"Cybersecurity and information assurance are growing concerns worldwide," said Keith Ward, TSCP chairman. "TSCP members are coming together for a shared mission -- effectively safeguarding these defenses and putting intellectual property under lock and key."

REvil, the notorious ransomware gang behind a string of cyberattacks in recent years, appears to have gone off the radar once again, a little over a month after the cybercrime group staged a surprise return following a two-month-long hiatus.
The development, first spotted by Recorded Future’s Dmitry Smilyanets, comes after a member affiliated with the REvil operation posted on the XSS hacking forum that unidentified actors had taken control of the gang’s Tor payment portal and data leak website.
“The server was compromised and they were looking for me. To be precise, they deleted the path to my hidden service in the torrc file and raised their own so that I would (sic) go there. I checked on others – this was not. Good luck everyone, I’m off,” user 0_neday said in the post.
As of writing, it isn’t clear exactly who was behind the compromise of REvil’s servers, although it wouldn’t be entirely surprising if law enforcement agencies played a role in bringing down the domains.
The Russia-linked ransomware group attracted major scrutiny following its attacks on JBS and Kaseya earlier this year, prompting it to take its darknet sites offline in July 2021. But on September 9, 2021, REvil made an unexpected return, resurfacing both its data leak site as well as payment and negotiation portals back online.
Last month, the Washington Post reported that the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) held back from sharing the decryptor with the victims of Kaseya ransomware attack for nearly three weeks, which it obtained from accessing the group’s servers, as part of a plan to disrupt the gang’s malicious activities. “The planned takedown never occurred because in mid-July REvil’s platform went offline — without U.S. government intervention — and the hackers disappeared before the FBI had a chance to execute its plan,” the report added.
A universal decryptor was eventually shared by Romanian cybersecurity firm Bitdefender in late July after acquiring the digital key from a “law enforcement partner.”
While it’s not uncommon for ransomware groups to evolve, splinter, or reorganize under new names, the criminal field has increasingly come under the lens for striking critical infrastructure, even as more cybercriminals are recognizing the profitability of ransomware, in part bolstered by the unregulated cryptocurrency landscape, thus enabling threat actors to extort victims for digital payments with impunity.

The Queen has officially opened the UK’s new National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), which is designed to protect businesses and individuals against destabilising cyber-attacks and breaches.
Initially soft-launched in October 2016, the NCSC, which is part of a £1.9 billion government cyber security initiative, will assist taxpayers in safeguarding themselves against cyber-attacks and hacks.
The official opening of the Centre comes alongside a warning that businesses are not fully prepared to combat cybercrime. 65% of firms reported a cyber-attack or breach in the last 12 months, according to government data.
Additionally, the government also suggested that nine out of ten businesses do not have an incident management plan in place in the event that a cyber-attack should occur.
Commenting on the issue, Chancellor Philip Hammond said: ‘The cyber-attacks we are seeing are increasing in their frequency, their severity and their sophistication. In the first three months of its existence, the NCSC has already mobilised to respond to attacks on 188 occasions.
‘The NCSC will play a unique and crucial role bringing together the public and the business community on the one hand, and our intelligence and security agencies on the other.’ | https://www.tonydicker.co.uk/news/business-news/archive/article/2017/February/queen-opens-new-national-cyber-security-centre |
When you choose a CREST member organisation such as Air IT, you can be assured that you are receiving the services of CREST certified professionals.
As a CREST member, Air IT have met the requirements of a rigorous application process. For added assurance, our cyber security team are CREST registered professionals who adhere to strict standards and practices which have been reviewed and endorsed by Governments and Regulators.
When it comes to safeguarding your business against the risks of attack, reviewing your existing setup is the first step.
Unfortunately, no business is guaranteed immunity to cyber attacks. Cybercriminals often take advantage of vulnerabilities such as unpatched systems and software to evade corporate defences. Zero-day threats pose a much greater risk as hackers attempt to find new vulnerabilities to exploit. This means frequent assessments and penetration testing is essential for any business that wants to stay ahead of the curve.
Air IT’s penetration testing and cyber security assessment services have been developed by our most advanced cyber security specialists, who will expose even the tiniest gaps in your security, so they can be corrected before they are exploited.
Our expert testers can simulate the same tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) used by cybercriminals in the real-world, in a safe and controlled manner which ensures no damage to your systems. This includes testing across your devices, servers, hosts and network services.
What is Pen Testing?
Penetration tests, or pen tests, are designed to uncover weaknesses in your IT systems that could be exploited and used against you.
Whilst a vulnerability scan uses automated tools to find potential security issues, a penetration test is carried out by a professional who ethically replicates the many different tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) employed by malicious cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities, in order to demonstrate their real-world impact. By nature, a penetration test cannot be fully automated as it involves a specialist penetration tester looking for new and creative ways to compromise a system.
By proactively identifying and fixing security vulnerabilities, we will help you to manage and improve your security posture, keeping attackers and intruders at bay.
Pen testing services are vital for a strong cyber security strategy
As cyber threats evolve and continue to grow in number, regular pen testing is a key component of any business’s cyber security strategy.
Is regular pen testing a legal security requirement? Organisations that need to comply with standards such as PCI DSS and ISO 27001 must carry out pen tests at least once a year. However, we recommend testing as often as possible so you can minimise risk from newly discovered vulnerabilities and exploits.
Our Network Penetration Testing service provides a comprehensive assessment of your IT environment and its resilience to cyber-attack. By leveraging exploits inside and outside your organisation, we’ll demonstrate how a hacker might gain access and control of your network.
We use two main penetration testing methods, covering your external and internal network security.
External infrastructure penetration test
An external pen test aims to mimic an attacker attempting to gain remote initial access to your internal network by exploiting security issues and vulnerabilities present on your boundary devices, such as firewalls and external-facing services, for example line of business applications.
We will rigorously test all your Internet-facing assets including firewalls, line of business applications, email servers and domain name servers. As part of an external pen test, our role is to identify any issues that could lead to a breach of your external network perimeter.
Our internal pen test aims to discover exactly what an inside attacker could achieve with initial access to your network. This could be an attacker who has already compromised your external firewall, or managed to obtain valid remote access credentials via phishing attackers, or a rogue employee who attempts to cause disruption to the system or steal valuable data for monetary gain.
We will emulate the actions and objectives of malicious insiders in order to identify risk and protect your business from illicit activity such as data theft and operational disruption.
Phishing attacks are becoming more frequent and sophisticated. One of the best methods of defence is to ensure your end users remain aware of the threats and stay vigilant. We can help you achieve this with simulated phishing campaigns coupled with user awareness training for the whole organisation. This can be especially effective when delivered at regular intervals.
More focused phishing simulation can also be carried out to target a smaller number of individuals, testing the existing defences in place and detecting attacks and/or monitor breaches.
Wireless networks provide great flexibility for employees, but they can also create the risk of allowing cybercriminals to enter your systems without permission if they are managed ineffectively.
Our team will assess your wireless infrastructure including company and guest Wi-Fi networks to detect any exploitable vulnerabilities such as unsecured encryption protocols, misconfigurations, weak access controls and more. This will enable you to uphold the integrity of your wireless infrastructure and protect your company from would-be attackers. | https://www.air-it.co.uk/cyber-security/penetration-testing-services/ |

According to Danish rail operator DSB, a hostile hacker attack on a software testing environment used by an IT provider was the cause of a significant failure of Denmark’s train network over the weekend.
Railways have frequently been targeted by threat actors, with recent victims including Belarus, Italy, the UK, Israel, and Iran. Researchers have demonstrated that hacker cyberattacks are possible on contemporary railway systems, however these most recent attacks focused on websites, tickets, and other IT systems rather than control systems.
Train drivers normally obtain vital operational data, such as speed restrictions and details on railroad maintenance, using a smartphone application that Supeo offers.
The program ceased to function when the provider opted to shut down its servers, forcing drivers to stop their trains.
Carsten Dam Sonderbo-Jacobsen, DSB’s chief of security, informed DR that “we were approached by our vendor who notified us that their testing environment had been hacked by criminal hackers.”

I'm not looking forward to Windows 8—and with good reason. If you don't have a touchscreen, there's not much to like about the Interface Formerly Known as Metro. The fact that this hobbled version of the old, familiar desktop user interface lacks the beloved Start menu doesn't help.
But have no fear; the Start menu is here. Two separate utilities add a Windows 7-style Start menu to Windows 8. Since both allow you to boot directly into the desktop, either one can protect you from even looking at "Metro" unless you absolutely have to.
Of the two, Stardock's Start8 most closely resembles the Windows 7 Start menu. You have to dig pretty deeply into the program to find where it falls short—its configurability. Stardock currently offers Start8 as a free beta, and has not yet set the final price.
[ Further reading: Our best Windows 10 tricks, tips and tweaks ]
The open-source Classic Shell is free and will remain so. While it falls far short of Start8 in its Windows 7 mimicry, it's far more configurable.
Each utility has its limits, but either one can make Windows 8 a far friendlier environment for experienced users.
Start8: Stepping up from 8 to 7
Once you install Stardock's utility, Windows 8 will look comfortably familiar. You'll see the old Windows 7 Start menu—with the same look and functionality. You'll discover the shortcomings later.
The final version of Start8 won't come out until October. I tested a beta version that, while available to the public, is not yet ready for general use.
The Start menu looks and behaves remarkably like the real thing. Click the Start orb, and you get the same two panels with the same options.
The left panel shows the list of recently used programs, and a right-click gives you the option to pin a program permanently to the top of this list. As with Windows 7, many of the programs have their own recent-files list.
But the resemblance isn't complete. Right-click one of those recent files, and you'll find the appropriate option to pin the file on the Start menu. But—at least with this beta—that option does nothing.
Start8 protects you from "Metro's" Start screen. When you boot, the program brings you immediately to the desktop (you can turn this feature off). You can even launch the new "Metro" apps from Start8's Start menu.
Of course, when you launch one of these apps, it opens in the boxy, two-dimensional style of Windows 8. You can't have everything.
But if you like to configure the Start menu, Start8 will disappoint you. Right-click the Start orb, and you'll find options to disable Windows 8's desktop hotspots and to change the Start orb's look (I like the bear print). But you won't find a Properties option. Start8 offers no way to change the Power button action, or to make Computer or Control Panel display as a menu.
Another configuration shortcoming: You can't drag and drop the contents of the All Programs section. If you want to, say, move all of your photo programs to their own submenu, you'll have to do it the clumsy way: right-clicking All Programs and selecting either Open or Open All Users. And even this method doesn't help you move the Metro apps.
Start8 is largely a take-it-as-is offering. But it can still make Windows 8 feel like home.
Classic Shell: Configure it to be anything…except, perhaps, what you want
The first time you click Classic Shell's Start button (which looks like something jointly created by Microsoft and the Shell oil company), you don't get a Start menu. Instead, the program asks you what kind of Start menu you want: Windows Classic, XP, or Vista/Windows 7.
This is just the first tab of an extremely option-filled dialog box. In Basic mode, it offers three tabs. But if you select All Settings, you get 13. In addition to options familiar to Windows 7 veterans (such as whether documents display as a link or a window), it allows you to change the look of the Start orb, and separately control the main menu and submenu scroll speeds.
You can save your settings as an .xml file, and thereby switch between configurations.
Unfortunately, the Vista/Windows 7 menu behaves more like Vista than Windows 7. Although it displays recently used programs in the left pane, there's no clear option to pin programs to the list. You can effectively pin a program by dragging it below the line (unlike in Windows 7, where the pinned programs are above the line), but this oddly leaves the program in both places.
On the plus side, you can insert a folder below the line, and drag additional programs into what effectively becomes a subfolder. But on the negative side, Classic Shell lacks application-specific recently used file lists—a major advantage of the Windows 7 Start menu that's sorely missed here.
You'll have no trouble organizing the All Programs menu (which Classic Shell calls Programs)—for instance, to place all of your media players in the same submenu. As with Windows 7, you can simply drag and drop shortcuts and folders.
Classic Shell tries to protect you from the Windows 8 Start screen but with limited success. Unless you choose otherwise, it brings you directly to the desktop every time you boot Windows 8. But it doesn't list Windows 8 apps, requiring you to switch from the Start menu to the Start screen (by default, you do this by Shift-clicking the orb) to launch one of the newer apps.
For a program that's supposed to bring you back to a comfortable, familiar way of working on your computer, Classic Shell has a surprisingly long learning curve. But if you want not only a Start menu but also a configurable one, this program is worth checking out.

Generic Company Place Holder A.plus
Given Ashton Kutcher's prominence on Twitter, it should come as no surprise that the actor has (with the help of UberMedia) launched his very own Twitter app. Called A.plus, the easy-to-use application offers a decent feature set. But be warned: If your tolerance for all things Ashton Kutcher is low (and I must confess mine is) chances are good that you will quickly tire of seeing his mug and his name plastered across your desktop.
Like many Twitter management tools, including TweetDeck (long considered the trendsetter in this category), A.plus features a column-style interface. Its red accents and background are attractive, and I found its overall look more appealing than TweetDeck's steely gray, all-business look.
A.plus devotes its first column to all things Ashton Kutcher; luckily it's collapsible.
Less appealing is the constant reminder of Kutcher's involvement with the app. A.plus devotes its first column to all things Kutcher: this "A+" panel displays Kutcher's Twitter feed, as well as that of his soon-to-be-ex-wife Demi Moore, and a few feeds of his choosing, such as his picks for culture, sports, tech, and more. It also displays ads, which are mostly unobtrusive. And while it is understandable that a free application might need to display advertising, it's harder to swallow when you consider that free rivals like TweetDeck manage to do without. Luckily, this panel is easily collapsible.
[ Further reading: The best free software for your PC ]
The middle column is where the real Twitter action takes place. By default, it displays your Twitter timeline and includes a handy search bar for calling up items you're seeking. Using the icons at the bottom of the screen, you can switch it to display your @mentions, direct messages, retweets, favorites, and more. While it delivers plenty of information, it would be nice if A.plus allowed you to view some of it side by side, as rival TweetDeck does.
A.plus does offer one key feature, and it's one that bests TweetDeck: LivePreview, its third (and final) column. When you click a hyperlink posted in a tweet, this panel lets you view Web-based content within A.plus, without opening a separate application. This cuts down on desktop clutter immensely, eliminating the multiple open windows that can often result from clicking hyperlinks within an application.
LivePreview alone is almost enough to win me over to A.plus. I don't even mind the application's singular focus on Twitter (you won't find support for Facebook--or any other social network here). It's the focus on Ashton Kutcher that leaves me unimpressed: The space that A.plus dedicates to Kutcher's Twitter feed and recommendations could be much better filled by the application's user instead.

The DOL's ERISA Advisory Council recently issued a report, Cybersecurity Considerations for Benefit Plans, which summarizes its examination of and recommendations regarding cybersecurity considerations as they relate to employee benefit plans.
The report noted that while cybersecurity is a focus area for organizations with regard to ongoing business activities, benefit plans often fall outside the scope of cybersecurity planning even though plans often maintain and share sensitive employee data and asset information across multiple unrelated entities as a part of the plan administration process. As such, the Council believes benefit plans should be specifically considered when implementing cybersecurity risk management measures, both in safeguarding benefit plan data and assets and when making decisions to select or retain a service provider.
One of the most significant challenges that face employee benefit plans is the reliance on service providers to manage daily activities of the plan. As a result, employee benefit plans typically share sensitive employee data and beneficiary and employer information with these service providers. Based upon historical cybersecurity breaches, third parties can be considered the weakest cybersecurity link. A cybersecurity breach within an employee benefit plan could ultimately result in personal information being compromised.

In an effort to strengthen the control that patients have over health information privacy, the advocacy group Patient Privacy Rights has co-developed a "trust framework" that IT vendors and their clients can use to help measure whether systems comply with privacy principles. See Also: PHI Security: The Role of Encryption and Tokenization
The framework is a set of more than 75 "auditable criteria" based on 15 key privacy principles, says Deborah Peel, M.D., the group's founder and chair. It aims to provide an objective measurement of how well electronic health records and other applications, health IT platforms and research projects adhere to those privacy principles.
"The PPR Trust Framework is ... designed to help organizations ensure that technology and IT systems align with the privacy requirements of critical importance to patients and reflect their legal and ethical rights to health information privacy," Peel says. The framework was developed by a group within Patient Privacy Rights - the bipartisan Coalition for Patient Privacy - along with Microsoft and the consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, Peel says. It was developed, tested and validated on Microsoft's HealthVault personal health record platform.
Sharon Finney, corporate data security officer of the 37-hospital Adventist Health System, says the goals of the voluntary framework are admirable. But widespread use of the framework could prove tough to achieve without a mandate, given that IT vendors must also implement emerging federal guidelines that deal with privacy and security, she contends. Privacy Principles
Easily find out who accessed or used their information.
While these patient controls and capabilities could be built into a commercial health IT systems, they could also be implemented by healthcare providers in that deploy IT, Peel notes.
For instance, "when health systems and health plans deploy patient/member portals, they should at a minimum use the PPR Trust Framework to ensure those portals are designed and deployed with privacy objectives in mind," Peel says. In addition, she says healthcare organizations "ideally should require all health IT systems, applications, and platforms to meet the PPR Trust Framework criteria. Privacy is not protected unless every link in the chain adheres to the privacy criteria."
For now, organizations and health IT vendors "are free to use the auditable criteria and measure their products to see how well they meet the public's expectations," she says. "We hope to be able to offer a formal licensing process in the next few months that is very reasonable cost-wise. It would require that the entity address all the criteria and that the entire set of results would be available on a website for the public to see for themselves." A Critique
Commenting on the value of the framework, Finney of Adventist Health System says: "My initial impression is this is definitely where we would all like to be as consumers of healthcare services."
Finney, however, portrays the framework as "somewhat idealistic." She adds: "It will take a great deal of time and effort to establish the degree of adoption and collaboration required to meet the specific audit criteria."
That's, in part, because health IT vendors already are evaluating how to implement emerging federal guidelines for interoperability and secure health information exchange, she says.
"Frankly if they are not mandated to comply and provide the necessary functionality to tie all of this together, it is unlikely they will invest in the costly re-engineering efforts to achieve this degree of consumer control," she says.
Finney suggests the new framework could be used in conjunction with other tools. Those include HITRUST's Common Security Framework for health data security and ISO 27000 set of information security standards. That would help "to ensure that these privacy audit items are implemented to the degree possible given the available functionality and the security maturity of the specific organization," she says.
Peel says her group's trust framework should, indeed, be used in conjunction with other benchmarks, such as the HITRUST framework or the DirectTrust's security and trust framework (see: HITECH: Meeting HIE Requirements).
"HITRUST and DirectTrust are intended primarily for organizations with respect to their operations or operations of their business partners, while the PPR Trust Framework is intended primarily for interactions between organizations and their patients and customers," she says.
Commenting on the concept of the new trust framework, Chuck Christian, CIO at St. Francis Hospital in Columbus, Ga., notes: "Having guiding principles around how sensitive information is shared is very important. But is this the appropriate framework to accomplish that goal? I'm unsure without a lot of additional review and discussion."
Meanwhile, Microsoft, which helped develop the framework, says the privacy principles involved are important to its HealthVault web-based personal health record platform.
"Ensuring the privacy of patient data is a key concern for any healthcare IT vendor," says Sean Nolan, distinguished engineer, Microsoft HealthVault. "Microsoft as a company advocates for a more standardized federal approach to the privacy of data, and this is especially true for the HealthVault team. We believe that it takes a deep corporate commitment to the privacy of patient data in order to support initiatives such as the PPR Trust Framework." | http://www.healthcareinfosecurity.com/privacy-framework-practical-tool-a-5669/op-1 |
Roughly 2.4 million Blur users had their information exposed online as a result of a misconfigured AWS S3 bucket, the application’s developer, online privacy company Abine, revealed this week.
Blur is a popular application that provides password management, masked email, and private browsing capabilities.
In a blog post published on Monday, Abine informed customers that some information of Blur users was potentially exposed. The information included email addresses, IP addresses used to access Blur, password hashes and, in some cases, first and last names and password hints.
“Importantly, there is no evidence that our users’ most critical data has been exposed, and we believe it is secure. There is no evidence that the usernames and passwords stored by our users in Blur, auto-fill credit card details, Masked Emails, Masked Phone numbers, and Masked Credit Card numbers were exposed. There is no evidence that user payment information was exposed,” Abine said.
The company’s representatives told SecurityWeek that roughly 2.4 million users were impacted by the security incident, which was the result of a misconfigured AWS S3 bucket used for data processing.
Abine said the exposed file stored information on users who had registered an account prior to January 6, 2018. The company became aware of the exposure on December 13.
While the company says the passwords were hashed using bcrypt with a unique salt for each user, it has still advised users to change their passwords.
“As a privacy and security focused company this incident is embarrassing and frustrating. These incidents should not happen and we let our users down. We apologize and are working very hard to ensure we respond quickly and effectively to this incident and make sure we do everything we can to not let anything like it happen again,” Abine said. | https://www.securityweek.com/blur-exposes-information-24-million-users?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Securityweek+%28SecurityWeek+RSS+Feed%29 |

Many Mac owners live under the assumption that their computers will never be attacked. While that statement may hold some truth — most fail to understand why. Rather than realizing that the relatively safety is afforded by Apple’s still small market share, they believe that the security is somehow owing to an inherent security superiority in their operating system of choice, OS X, a sentiment echoed in Apple’s sarcasm-laden “Get a Mac” commercials.
However, in reality Apple’s security implementation, both on an OS and an application level is often lacking. It took Apple a year to patch a glaring hole in its OS X Java implementation. A major hole allowing SMS binary messages to execute code as root in the iPhone also went unpatched for over a month. Apple’s OS X-toting iPhone’s encryption scheme was declared laughably useless by a security expert and even Apple seems to acknowledge that its security may be lacking, warning that its iPhone can easily be hacked and used as a terrorist weapon. | https://www.techbeta.org/another-major-mac-computer-security-flaw-discovered/ |

What do the new Apple iPad and Google‘s Nexus One have in common? Both were DOA: Disappointing On Arrival.
Neither lived up to its advance publicity. Both also turned out to be more fashion accessory than the revolutionary gizmo each portended to be.
I can’t say “pretended to be” because neither Google nor Apple did much to fuel the pre-launch speculation, but neither reined it in, either.
Why is the iPad a disappointment? Because it doesn’t allow us to do anything we couldn’t do before. Sure, it is a neat form factor, but it comes with significant trade-offs, too. No 16:9 widescreen, for example.
The iPad is more evolutionary than revolutionary. People have noticed this, as even a quick scan of news stories about the iPad will quickly point out.
I wonder: Has Steve Jobs’ fabled reality distortion field finally failed its creator?
An unbiased observer would have to say the iPad is really not much more–and in some ways less–than an iPod touch with a larger screen.
Apple says the iPad comes at “an unbelievable price” and they’re right, I don’t believe.
The $499 iPad, with its whopping 16GB of memory and Wi-Fi only, won’t cut it for serious users’ needs, especially if video is stored on the device. More believable, for most folks, is the $599 32GB or $699 64GB models.
If you want 3G data, you’ll spend $829 on that 64GB model, though you can buy a much more functional notebook or netbook for less.
Between the Nexus One and iPad, Apple’s tablet is clearly the better device. But, neither lived up to the hype that surrounded their release and each is diminished by the unfulfilled expectations created for them.
Such hype is part of Apple’s marketing plan, so it’s unlikely the company will do anything to rein it in. Google, however, might learn from it’s Nexus One disaster and do a better job of setting expectations in the future.
It’s not supposed to be that new products are better liked before launch than after.

At one point, the Ubuntu faithful were excited that 21.04 (aka Hirsute Hippo) would be one of the first distributions to include GNOME 40. The upcoming release of the GNOME desktop promises to bring about some serious workflow changes that could make everything on the desktop flow a bit more efficiently.
GNOME 40 would also bring GTK4 and retire the aging GTK3.
Unfortunately, neither of those cases are to be–GNOME 40 is simply not ready for prime time and there aren’t many apps that have migrated to GTK4. So this decision, albeit a disappointing one, makes perfect sense. Even though 21.04 is a short term support release (which means it’ll be used by far fewer), Canonical doesn’t want to unleash a version of Ubuntu that wreaks havoc on the users.
Unless you own some of the hardware above, you’re not jumping for joy about this kernel. Not that a new kernel is boring. There’s always code cleanup and bug fixes aplenty, but for a new release of a distribution, 5.11 isn’t all that noteworthy.
There is, however, another feature in Ubuntu 21.04 that might raise a few eyebrows.
Welcome to your private home
With Ubuntu 21.04, user’s home directories will finally be private. You might be thinking, “My home directory is already private.” Is it, really?
Let’s test that theory. Log in to a running instance of Ubuntu (server or desktop, it doesn’t matter). Make sure this machine has more than one user account. Once you’ve logged in, issue the command:
The contents of user Olivia’s home directory.
Of course, that doesn’t mean, as user Nathan, I can read the files in Olivia’s home directory. Or does it?
Nathan shouldn’t be able to read this.
Yes, Olivia could change the permissions of those files such that only she is able to read them, but that shouldn’t have to happen. Everything in the home directory should be set to private. That’s exactly what Ubuntu 21.04 is going to bring to the table–making home automatically private. In this new release, all home directories will no longer be set to 755 permissions, but 750 permissions. That means:
The one caveat to this is that the new permissions change will not affect upgrades. To get the added bonus of private home directories, you must do a fresh installation. Of course, anyone running an LTS release (such as 20.04) probably won’t do an upgrade to 21.04. Because the only enticing feature for 21.04 is the private home directories, many will probably skip this release and hold off until GNOME 40 hits the desktop.
Even so, the private directories coming to Ubuntu 21.04 is a long-overdue addition to the distribution. I get why the home directory was originally created with global read permissions. At one time we lived in a world where cooperation and trust was actually something to be counted on. Those days are long gone and a desperate need for heightened security has usurped convenience.
Ergo, private home directories are a must.
If you’re interested in kicking the tires of Ubuntu Hirsute Hippo, download the Ubuntu 21.04 ISO and spin it up. | https://cybersecuritysolutions.top/why-ubuntu-21-04-is-an-important-release-even-without-gnome-40/ |

If the result is positive, there is no need for further action. If the result is negative, please read the following instructions.
Result positive Your website can only be reached via the secure HTTPS protocol. Communication between your website and its visitors can not be intercepted or manipulated.
Result negativ HSTS protection error
Description HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) ensures that the website can only be accessed via a secure HTTPS connection for a specified time period. The website operator can define the length of the time period, and whether this rule should also apply to subdomains.
Background HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) protection is inactive, the communication between your website and its visitors can be intercepted and manipulated.
Consequence Currently, your website is not protected against using an outdated SSL/TLS standard (protocol downgrade attacks) and against cookie hijacking. This allows an attacker to intercept and manipulate your user's communication. Using this information, an attacker could launch further attacks or spam your users with unwanted advertisements and malicious code. HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is an excellent feature to strengthen your site and its implementation of TLS by forcing the user agent to use HTTPS.
Solution/Tips If the connection to your page is not encrypted, all communication between your site and its users can be intercepted and manipulated.

Religion seemed to help us resolve many of these problems, and this helped to bring peace to our globe. When some god appeared, it had the energy to turn the impossible into the possible. It was a tangible way of communication with all of the people on Earth.
Today we’ve got sophisticated technology, nevertheless it is feasible that our large-scale technologies can turn into obsolete at any time. If there have been no such point as large scale biology or giant machines just like the space shuttle which will someday be replaced by nanotechnology, how would we address the complications that face us? Religion can be a beneficial tool in solving these troubles.
When the advances in technologies are as very good as they are appropriate now, and when we actually begin to find out the outcomes of these advances, it’s tough to imagine how quite a few technological challenges we may perhaps face. Some of them are going to be the identical difficulties that have plagued humanity for the final ten thousand years. We nonetheless come across ourselves struggling with population manage, environmental destruction, and the creation of new energy sources.
Of course, top schools for laptop or computer science careers usually do not teach these subjects. Nevertheless, you will find some great opportunities around that may well teach these subjects, however the individuals https://buyessay.net/essay-writer who want to go into these http://disabilityresources.temple.edu/ fields must have a basic understanding of mythology. The same is accurate for major schools for engineering and architecture careers.
Mythology offers a blueprint for the factors that we need to know concerning the world about us. As an example, the concept on the solar technique is usually a myth. There’s no heaven or hell, no purgatory, and no secret doors that should be opened to get access for the outside globe. Science can offer a rational explanation for many of those factors, but that is certainly not the point.
The bottom line is the fact that we cannot think in anything simply because it can be impossible. The ancient mythologists knew this superior than everyone else. As science tries to take myth seriously, the greatest thing that science has carried out will be to separate myth from reality. Now we understand that the ancient mythologists had buyessay been ideal all along.
This could be the aim of our civilization, to eliminate myths from the world. Just because the builders on the pyramids couldn’t essentially create the pyramids, so also will the people today who produce the realities of now and tomorrow be capable of make points that cannot be created. A new technologies can deliver solutions to old difficulties, and it really is quite attainable that new discoveries in science will someday do away with myths that call for faith.
The Solar Technique Science Project, as an example, was conceived by Dr. Peter Atkins, who is an professional within the field of astrophysics. He has gone to terrific lengths to make this project as realistic as you can. This project is amongst the ideal within the planet, and it involves just about every kind of science imaginable.
The project started as a formalized daycare for kids, however it speedily grew into an extensive exploration of the inner workings of our own physical universe. In fact, many of the ideas used within the system are absolutely depending on existing tips inside the field of science and physics. The most effective minds in the field have collaborated to bring these concepts to life in such a way that the questions might be answered inside a logical and scientific way.
Interestingly adequate, this project took location within a great mythological context. The largest step of all is definitely the really 1st myth inside the history from the project – the oldest myth of all. Every single component with the plan is designed to teach students regarding the idea of mythology, and also the two important aspects from the program will be the myth of creation and also the myth of origin.
If that you are a science or math lover, and also you wish to get into the best schools for pc science jobs, then appear in to the research and improvement projects that are taking location at NASA. and also you will quickly fully grasp the importance of mythology. | https://cycles-sudero.ch/top-schools-for-computer-system-science-jobs-mythology/ |

By Jeané Blunt. National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) was created by the Department of Homeland Security and the National Cyber Security Alliance to help everyone stay safe online. Now in its 16th year, NCSAM has grown exponentially and continues to build momentum and impact, reaching consumers, small and medium-sized businesses, corporations, and of course UC campuses.
To help all UC campuses support events like National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, the UC Systemwide Security Awareness Workgroup provides a “toolkit,” a set of digital communications resources, from posters and handouts to videos and custom-created social media campaigns. As a result, no campus has to create all the materials by itself.
The NCSAM 2019 theme, “Own IT. Secure IT. Protect IT.,” is focused on encouraging personal accountability, a noticeable shift from the “Our Shared Responsibility” theme in years past. NCSAM 2019 will also highlight proactive behavior in security best practices, digital privacy and careers in cybersecurity.
Here are some UC events for NCASM 2019:
In conjunction with UCSF’s 2019 NCSAM celebration, UCSF IT Security will be hosting two webinars. The first is a lively and robust discussion with Joseph Menn about the state of cybersecurity on Tuesday, October 29, 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. The first 10 people to join the webinar will receive a copy of his book. The second is an exploration of secure cloud transformation with Richard Stiennon on Tuesday, October 8, 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. The first five people to sign into the webinar will receive a free copy of his book.
The UC Cyber-Risk Coordination Center (C3) will host its 8th UC Cyber Security Summit at the UC Santa Barbara campus on Wednesday, October 23, 8 am – 4pm. Topics will include cybersecurity research, cyber threat hunting, phishing lessons learned from DHS, deepfakes research, and tabletop incident response. Registration closes tomorrow, October 3.

Mobile banking is only getting bigger, and will eventually eclipse more traditional bank-access methods. Banks love it: lower costs, more customer data, win-win all around. But how does the customer fare when it comes to the security of their private information? Not as well as you'd hope, as you'll find out in (In)Security of Mobile Banking. Eric Filiol and Paul Irolla carried out static and dynamic analyses of numerous banking apps, and found that almost all of them endanger users' private data, sometimes severely. Perhaps worse, some institutions, when alerted, didn't seem to care. Come to the Briefing for the full details.
The march of the mobiles continues in the business world, too. Companies are incorporating an unprecedented number of mobile devices into core business processes. This lead to security issues, and a particularly striking case appears in the SAP Mobile ecosystem, as SAP has access to most essential functions of large enterprises. Attacking SAP Mobile will take you on an exhaustive tour of how to hack SAP products -- XSS, XXE, hardcoded static encryption keys, platform-specific vulnerabilities, privilege escalations -- and even access compromised phones. A concurrent whitepaper release will focus on assessing SAP security.
Finally, a more specific attack. Android 4.1 restricted user applications from accessing certain logs, but Black Hat presenters Ryan Johnson and Angelos Stavrou found a way to circumvent this limitation on Samsung devices, and through the innocuous android.permission. RECEIVE.BOOT.COMPLETED no less. Resurrecting the READ_LOGS Permission on Samsung Devices will detail the attack, which allows user-space applications to access extremely private user information originating from Facebook Messenger, text messaging, WhatsApp, Google Maps, email metadata, and more.

The Syrian Electronic Army continues to hammer away at media organizations. This afternoon the Syrian Electronic Army appears to have compromised the registrar Melbourne IT which hosts the domains of notable media organizations like Twitter, The New York Times, and The Huffington Post.
Just as with the ShareThis attack from last week, the Syrian Electronic Army chose to host the domains on their main IP address 141.105.64.37.
Several users reported issues with The New York Times website, however Twitter seemed largely unaffected. Perhaps one reason for this is Twitter’s preference for using HTTPS. When a Transport Layer Security (TLS) tunnel is established with a site, then the rest of the communication with that site flows over the established, encrypted tunnel. Users already logged in would have never experienced a problem. On the other hand, the Syrian Electronic Army also took credit for the attack using Twitter, so perhaps this is why they left the nameservers for the twitter.com domain untouched.
Cisco TRAC is continuing to monitor the situation as it develops.

OKLAHOMA CITY - The Oklahoma City-based chain Sonic confirmed a possible data breach involving credit cards.
"The thing about these data breaches is they're not stopping. We're just going to continue to see them going on into the future," said Kit Letcher with the Better Business Bureau.
Sonic released a statement, saying:
"Our credit card processor informed us last week of unusual activity regarding credit cards used at SONIC. The security of our guests’ information is very important to SONIC. We are working to understand the nature and scope of this issue, as we know how important this is to our guests. We immediately engaged third-party forensic experts and law enforcement when we heard from our processor. While law enforcement limits the information we can share, we will communicate additional information as we are able."
KrebsOnSecurity, a security news website, reported the possible breach could have led to what they're calling an online "fire sale" involving a long list of stolen credit and debit cards.
It's called The Joker Stash and lists millions of cards for sale, many of which had been recently used at Sonic.
"What's really scary about it is who's going to take advantage of that and how many times over is your credit card information going to be sold," Letcher said. "What we need to do as consumers is really safeguard our information, and making sure that we are doing our due diligence and making sure that everything that we're paying is actually an expense that we incur."

Meaning that unless you are willing to become Mormon And your savings account. Why do we not talk about Heavenly Mother. If you have tended to straddle the line between light and dark in the past, or have been a partier, expect to make some changes for this relationship, and expect certain things from your new crush. It does not come from common religion or personality or even values; it only comes through mutual self transcendence. My husband and I have been married for about 4 years and together since we were undergrads, before he chose medicine as his profession. Love Notes for Him.

Very small businesses (VSBs) with under 50 employees can be a lucrative proposition for cybercriminals because of the data they hold on behalf of their clients and employees. This can fetch a high price if sold or ransomed, and can open up new revenue streams for enterprising criminals.
Besides the constant risk of cybersecurity disruption, a study from Kaspersky Lab has revealed that small businesses are also at risk because of their reliance on staff who are inexperienced at cybersecurity. One-in-three firms this size entrust IT security to employees, who might not have the know-how necessary to protect businesses from prolific threats.
Studying threats to small businesses in more detail, the Kaspersky Lab report sheds light on how ransomware is impacting them — with findings showing that when these firms fall prey to ransomware, they tend to be victimized again and again.
Indeed, out of those small businesses that have suffered an incident in the past 12 months, many have fallen victim to multiple incidents – with 37% having experienced two or three infections.
This can have a crippling effect on a business, because suffering downtime or a lack of access to files for prolonged periods can be extremely damaging. In fact, of the ransomware victims surveyed, over a quarter (27%) have lost access to their data for weeks, meaning this issue is constantly putting small firms at risk of inactivity, and therefore loss of income and reputational damage.
“Ransomware is one of the many very serious cyberthreats faced by businesses today. When it strikes, it can have huge ramifications, no matter what size the business is. However, very small firms are particularly vulnerable to multiple incidents. One of the reasons for this may be because, at many small businesses, the IT provision is managed by people that perhaps don’t know how to best avert the dangers – they simply don’t have the time or IT skills to cope with the threats,” said Sergey Martsynkyan, head of B2B Product Marketing at Kaspersky Lab.
Small businesses can protect themselves better, despite their lack of IT personnel, with security solutions designed specifically with this sized organization in mind – such as Kaspersky Small Office Security. The solution helps businesses to protect themselves from the risk of ransomware, and more, in the following ways:
– Easy to use: any employee can deploy and manage Kaspersky Small Office Security – even if they do not have specialist IT security expertise.
– Ready for remote working: the solution can be operated via an online console, so that users can manage and monitor security from anywhere. This makes it ideal for small businesses that don’t have a main office, or those that use lots of remote devices.
– Protection at PC and server level: the System Watcher component that is available for Windows file servers as well as computers protects sensitive business data, blocking the action of exploits and rolling back any activity performed by malicious applications.
– Supports very small business (VSB) mobility: to secure remote workers and those on the move, mobile security and management technologies within Kaspersky Small Office Security protect sensitive information on employee-owned devices. The solution also comes with the ability to locate, lock and wipe missing devices to protect company data, should devices end up in the wrong hands.
More details of the Kaspersky Lab study can be found in the report: Small fish, big lucrative pond: who’s protecting VSBs from cybercrime? For more information about Kaspersky Small Office Security, please see the website. | https://www.pinoybisnes.com/news-release/small-businesses-repeatedly-fall-victim-to-ransomware-but-one-in-three-still-entrusts-cybersecurity-to-non-specialists/ |
Most participants in a recent study had no idea that their email addresses and other personal information had been compromised in an average of five data breaches each.
It’s been nine years since the LinkedIn data breach, eight years since Adobe customers were victims of cyber attackers, and four years since Equifax made headlines for the exposure of private information of millions of people.
Researchers from the University of Michigan School of Information showed 413 people facts from up to three breaches that involved their own personal information. The researchers found people were not aware of 74% of the breaches.
“This is concerning. If people don’t know that their information was exposed in a breach, they cannot protect themselves properly against a breach’s implications, e.g., an increased risk of identity theft,” says doctoral candidate Yixin Zou.
As reported in a conference paper, researchers also found that most of those breached blamed their own personal behaviors for the events—using the same password across multiple accounts; keeping the same email for a long time; and signing up for “sketchy” accounts—with only 14% attributing the problem to external factors.
“While there’s some responsibility on consumers to be careful about who they share their personal information with, the fault for breaches almost always lies with insufficient security practices by the affected company, not by the victims of the breach,” says Adam Aviv, associate professor of computer science at George Washington University.
The Have I Been Pwned database used in this study lists nearly 500 online breaches and 10 million compromised accounts over the last decade. According to the Identity Theft Resource Center, the overall number of data breaches affecting Americans is even higher, reporting more than 1,108 breaches in the United States in 2020 alone.
Prior research asked about concerns and reactions to data breaches in general, or it relied on self-reported data to determine how a particular incident affected people. This study used public records in the Have I Been Pwned dataset of who was affected by breaches. The research team gathered 792 responses involving 189 unique breaches and 66 different exposed data types. Of the 431 participant email addresses queried, 73% of participants were exposed in one or more breaches, with the highest number of 20.
Of all information that was breached, email addresses were compromised the most, followed by passwords, usernames, IP addresses, and dates of birth.
Most participants expressed moderate concern and were most worried about the leak of physical addresses, passwords, and phone numbers. In response to their compromised accounts, they reported taking action or an intention to change passwords for 50% of the breaches.
“It could be that some of the breached services were considered ‘not important’ because the breached account did not contain sensitive information. However, low concern about a breach may also be explained by people not fully considering or being aware of how leaked personal information could potentially be misused and harm them,” says Peter Mayer, postdoctoral researcher at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
Risks range from credential stuffing—or using a leaked email address and password to gain access to other accounts of the victim—to identity theft and fraud.
Most of the breaches never made the news, and often they involved little or no notification to affected individuals.
“Today’s data breach notification requirements are insufficient,” Zou says. “Either people are not being notified by breached companies, or the notifications are crafted so poorly that people might get an email notification or letter but disregard it. In prior work, we analyzed data breach notification letters sent to consumers and found that they often require advanced reading skills and obscure risks.”
At the end of the study, researchers showed participants the full list of breaches affecting them and provided information for taking protective steps against potential risks from data breaches.
Check whether accounts were part of a breach using free services such as https://haveibeenpwned.com/ or https://monitor.firefox.com/.
Read breach notifications carefully.
Websites like the FTC’s https://identitytheft.gov/ can help create a recovery plan after identity theft.
Make sure to change the password of the breached account and any others for which the same password was used. Doing this once should be enough unless there is a new breach.
Sign up for identity monitoring services you get offered. Though not perfect, they are better than nothing.
If you experience actual harm from a breach you may also be entitled to further support.
To prevent future data breaches:
Use a unique password for each online account. No one can remember dozens of these so it’s best to use a password manager to store and create strong passwords.
Use two-factor authentication, wherever possible, that requires a code by phone in addition to a username and password in order to access an account.
Freeze credit reports at the three major bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) to make it more difficult for identity thieves to cause financial harm. See here.
Consider using services such as Sign in with Apple to keep an email address private when creating new accounts (the service provider only sees an email address uniquely created for that account).
“The findings from this study further underline the failure and shortcomings of current data and security breach notification laws,” says Florian Schaub, assistant professor of information at the University of Michigan.
“What we find again and again in our work is that important legislation and regulation, which is meant to protect consumers, is rendered ineffective in practice by poor communication efforts by the affected companies that need to be held more accountable for securing customer data.”
The researchers point to Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation that legislates hefty fines for companies that don’t protect consumers as a means toward solving the issue. The law led companies worldwide to retool their privacy programs and safeguards.

Mormon women greatly value sincerity of purpose. When we obsess over it we start acting like a customer in a clothing store wondering what he or she will look like if they wear that particular wardrobe. A more unfortunate soul needs him right now as much as I need him. December 17, I figured it might be fun to update you kind folks on what happened. Never marry someone with the goal of a post-marriage conversion. I know how long his residency lasts. If you are dating a Mormon man or woman, be genuinely interested in their religion. Oh your fiance works in the medicine field, too. But, I am a 3rd year medical student and my fiance is a 2nd year medical student. | https://masqueantivirus.xyz/tools/majordomo-hosting-vps.php |
It would seem that Kaspersky is their AV for free. Its called Kaspersky Free Antivirus. They have removed some premium features, but the core protection is there.
see ref here: https://eugene.kaspersky.com/2017/07/25/kl-av-for-free-secure-the-whole-world-will-be/
I tried to download it, but just get redirected to the home page, so the link must not be live yet. I am in the USA and thought I would take a look at it.
EDIT: the link in Eugene's article to the free tool is bad https://www.kaspersky.com/free-antivirus -> https://usa.kaspersky.com/free-antivirus
EDIT2: Did I miss something...? I don't see if it is for non-commercial use only or not. Edited Jul 27, 2017 at 8:10 UTC
"The roll-out won’t be fully global instantaneously; it’s going to be done over four months in waves as per different regions. The first wave will be the U.S.A., Canada, and many of the Asia Pacific countries. September: India, Hong Kong, Middle East, Africa, Turkey and Latin America. October: Europe, Japan and South Korea. November: Vietnam and Thailand. And that, I do believe, will be it – the whole planet covered."
Weren't they being investigated? http://abcnews.go.com/US/russian-firm-fbi-investigation-offers-federal-investigation/story?id=473352...
Just this week, they are free AV using their own engine.
Yeah I get that, all ZoneAlarm is doing is repackaging Kaspersky's product. They have been doing it for years, essentially making Kaspersky freely available for years. It's the same AV product.
Me personally I won't use it.
If Kaspersky's AV signatures are being used in not just their own product but other products as well, all doing the exact same thing, scanning your files for malicious content, it's the same thing. Sorta like GM, when buying a Chevy Tahoe or a GMC Yukon, it's the exact same thing underneath, same engine and frame, but the packaging looks different. ZoneAlarm and Kaspersky have been doing this for a long time, I first noticed it around 2006.
this new version has ' We’ve been working on this release for a good year-and-a-half' -ref article. Not years, so its a different product.
If that's what makes you feel better than go for it. I could go back and forth with you on this, but its not the point of my post. I am referring to the new product only. Not ZA and who uses who's AV engine. | https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2022290-kaspersky-free-antivirus-hhmm-interesting |

Medical devices have been on the radar of security and there are many risks involved.
There are many devices connected to hospital beds like wearable or implanted devices. As we add more things to the network, the risk increases and protecting them is a major challenge. Patients can be harmed if cybersecurity in the medical field isn't taking seriously. As we use more networks, there are more risks to that which security professionals need to fully understand and be aware of in order to protect medical devices.
Ransomware attacks on hospitals have been significant. Does that impact medical devices as well?
Even though the attacker might not care about the medical device itself, if the device is connected to a specific network then the ransomware could take over the command server for the devices, and all the devices could stop working which of course would harm patients who are in need of them. Security professionals should be concerned about where the device sits in the ecosystem and how it could affect the whole system.
Medical device companies make the products that can get hacked, but doctors and hospitals use them — and those groups often don’t have the same cybersecurity resources or expertise. How are they involved in these conversations?
Companies that are making these products are at a lot of risk because medical devices are connected to the network. It starts with the manufacturer and when it is sent to the hospital, now it's their duty to protect them without increasing the risk.
Hospitals aren’t the only places with internet-connected medical devices — pacemakers are implanted in people’s bodies, smartwatches can diagnose heart problems, and people take their blood pressure through app-connected cuffs at home. Can we protect those, too?
If a blood pressure monitor gets hacked and the results are different from what they are supposed to be, the patients can still go to the doctor and get it checked to be sure. But if a pacemaker is hacked that is really a life or death situation as it is inside the patient helping their heart beat. | https://www.tcsforensics.com/blogs/cybersecurity-medicine-medical-advisor |
Cybersecurity is not just the keyword of the day because of the recent scandals surrounding international secret services. The threats from the internet, be they from government agents or criminal associations, should be taken seriously by all companies and present serious challenges for individual companies.
Maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and availability of critical information and the information technology behind it, whether this involves research and development data or customer relationship data, should be of the utmost importance for companies in all industries and of all sizes in order to ensure their competitiveness and corporate success for the long term.
Cybersecurity expands the scope of classic IT security to include all of cyberspace. This comprises all information technology connected to the internet and similar networks and includes communication, applications and processes based on this as well as data processed through it. Thus basically all modern information and communications technology becomes part of cyberspace.
What makes cyber attacks so dangerous? They can’t be seen: Cyber attacks can be launched from anywhere in the world – wherever there is access to the internet. They are dynamic: Cyber attacks compromise IT systems of any kind, are increasingly professional and continually developing, faster than the security cycle of the IT systems themselves.
Numerous private and government initiatives, such as the Alliance for Cybersecurity founded in 2012 by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and the German Federal Association for Information Technology, Telecommunications and New Media (BITKOM), provide a platform for companies to communicate with one another. In addition, steps and measures are developed here together with the companies that can be used to counter the threats from cyberspace.
Having an experienced partner is key to successfully implementing suitable measures to achieve an appropriate level of protection. These should be well-versed in industry and company-specific issues as well as the possibilities currently offered by technology. Roever Broenner Susat Mazars is your partner for cybersecurity in a wide range of application areas. For example, we took a leading role in the development of the cybersecurity check as well as the development of training measures and Cyber Security Practitioner (CSP) certification as part of an initiative of the ISACA Germany Chapter e. V. with experts from the BSI.
The cybersecurity check is a pragmatic approach to assessing the state of the security of the information at your company with analysis criteria that is also comprehensible for management. It is completed in a risk-oriented manner based on the concrete need for protection in your company. As it only takes a few days to complete, it does not involve great effort. The cyber security check is based on current security standards and best practice frameworks and is thus compatible with measures that are already in place at your company.
The assessment is completed using a variety of methods: Interviews with those responsible in your company, inspection of the security arrangements in place, review of documentation as well as analysis for relevant data (such as protocols and log files) Active interventions in your company’s IT systems are not necessary, which rules out the risks associated with this.
The cybersecurity check identifies weak spots and sorts these into easily understandable categories. The issues that are noted are thoroughly documented by us. Additionally, binding objectives for the improvement measures are defined. In the final assessment report, all issues and deficiencies that have been identified are listed in detail, assessed and the corresponding recommendations and measures are documented.

Although vulnerabilities, hackers and exploits are chief components of application security, they have been overshadowed by compliance issues in the minds of corporate decision makers.
With the myriad regulations and standards imposing stricter IT security requirements, application security has reached a pinnacle of importance in the context of regulatory compliance.
Risk management is a key requirement of many of these regulations and is one of the most difficult processes to complete. The difficulty lies in the fact that although the high-level threat is generally well understood (breach of customer data, denial of service, etc.), the underlying causes and sub-threats can lead to it remaining obscured.
Threat modeling is a powerful technique that helps to characterize the higher-level threat and separate it into more manageable sub-threats that can be addressed.
The perimeter defense concept is fairly easy to grasp: keeping the bad guys out. Perimeter defenses have however failed numerous times as a result of constantly being weakened to allow remote users to access corporate resources and because the distinction between trusted and distrusted users is increasingly unclear.
IT divisions must remember that once a user passes perimeter defenses then the burden of security lies with the applications that process data.
Both the software vendors and the companies that use the software must understand the risk that application imposes. For companies seeking compliance this is the starting point of risk mitigation. For software vendors this is a first step towards securing their products and making them more attractive for companies.
Understanding this risk is not a trivial task. The higher-level threats are generally well-understood because they are frequently mentioned in the regulatory texts (e.g., disclosure of sensitive customer data). It is difficult, however, to address these threats without considering the underlying sub-threats that can (and often do) yield catastrophic consequences.
Threat modeling is a powerful exercise that can help in risk determination. Here we will discuss two approaches to threat modeling: Threat modeling of an existing application and threat modeling during all stages of the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
Existing Apps
For many software vendors, security is still an afterthought. In this model, the priority is software functionality, and security is bolted on in the later stages of the SDLC. This is also the relevant model for software users who wonder about potential security failures in the products they have purchased.
One approach for threat modeling in this type of context is a three step process consisting of: analyzing the application, determining threats; and ranking the threats.
The first step, analyzing the application, consists of identifying the applications features and user/attacker entry points. During this process it is important to note feature characteristics such as its relevancy to security and access level required to perform related tasks.
The second step, determining threats, is certainly the most challenging aspect of threat modeling. This step consists of breaking down the higher level threat into sub-threats that can be more easily addressed.
Once the threats and sub-threats have been identified they can be prioritized using various ranking techniques. One such technique is feature ranking. Here we score application features according their characteristics (is it a new feature with the current release? is it a security feature? is it installed by default?, etc.).
With this technique we assign to each feature a score that is a combined measure of the likelihood it will contain a security flaw and its potential for damage. We can then rank each identified threat by averaging the scores for features that are relevant to the threat. The broken down threats listed above are much more easily addressed when it comes to risk mitigation than the higher-level threat.
A completed threat model should provide the supporting material to prioritize risk mitigation and the framework for security testing.
Modeling in the SDLC
Proactive software vendors integrate security at all stages of the SDLC. For vendors or internal development teams that do so or realize they need to start doing so, threat modeling can be used to its full potential.
In this context the threat model should evolve during the SDLC and guide decisions at all stages. The process by which threats are characterized and ranked can be similar to the one described previously, however the threat model will grow and be refined as the product progresses through its lifecycle.
At the requirements/design phase, for instance, a proposal for the addition of a feature may be rejected because of the additional attack vectors it creates. At the implementation phase, the use of recognized encryption libraries may be elected in order to mitigate stealth of sensitive information.
Just as it was the case in the previously described context, the threat model can help prioritize risk mitigation and drive the security testing effort.
Whether threat modeling is performed on an existing application or throughout the SDLC it is an essential component in the risk management arsenal because it can help quantify and visualize the otherwise intangible threats an application carries.
Threat modeling is not a trivial exercise and should be done with care so as not to miss any aspect of the attack surface applications expose.

Information archiving firm Smarsh has acquired cybersecurity and compliance firm Entreda. The acquisition adds Entreda's 300 clients from the enterprise wealth management market to Smarsh's 6,000 financial services clients, while bringing new cybersecurity expertise to the secure collection, storage and management of enterprise data.
Financial details of the acquisition have not been disclosed. Santa Clara, Calif-based Entreda (founded in 2010) will continue to operate under its own name as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Portland, Oregon-based Smarsh (founded in 2001).
The two firms offer complementary services. Entreda brings new cybersecurity risk and compliance capabilities to Smarsh's capture, archiving and monitoring of information across the breadth of corporate communication channels (such as email, voice, social media, collaboration tools and more).
The timing is judicious. The long-term slow advance of remote working has been propelled into the standard method of work by the sudden pandemic lockdown -- a state that many analysts believe will be irreversible. "In the past few months, more and more companies have asked for our help in addressing the regulatory, compliance and cybersecurity risks associated with the move to long-term remote-work models and the expanded use of mobile and collaborative communications technology, such as Microsoft Teams, Slack and Zoom," said Brian Cramer, CEO at Smarsh.
Enterprises are being forced into a new normal rather than being allowed to evolve towards it. The threat landscape has suddenly expanded dramatically, and data protection, privacy and finance compliance has become more complex. With the information managed by Smarsh increasingly being collected from outside the corporate network, the need for additional cybersecurity and compliance solutions is self-evident. "With the acquisition [of Entreda]," Cramer added, "Smarsh can now offer our customers cutting-edge device, network and user level cybersecurity risk and compliance management capabilities."
Stephen Marsh, founder and chairman at Smarsh, told SecurityWeek, "Through our conversations with customers and regulators, it has become clear that firms need a cybersecurity compliance partner like Entreda. Entreda's Unify platform is a comprehensive, easy-to-use cybersecurity command center, monitoring multiple mission-critical threat vectors behind a single pane of glass. Similar to the Smarsh Connected Archive offerings, the product was purpose-built to help broker-dealers and registered investment advisories efficiently meet their regulatory requirements. Now customers can get compliance solutions for cybersecurity and electronic communications in one place."
Both firms will continue to operate as they are, but with the ability to enhance integrated product offerings from the other's portfolio. It's business as usual, commented, Sid Yenamandra, CEO and co-founder of Entreda, but customers can "look forward to the many exciting product enhancements and new solutions that we can roll out, more expeditiously than ever, in partnership with Smarsh." | https://www.securityweek.com/smarsh-adds-cybersecurity-and-compliance-archiving-acquisition-entreda |
Druva announced the industry’s first intelligent, storage tiering system, with support across all layers of AWS storage, including S3, Glacier and Glacier Deep Archive.
Businesses quickly realize that as data growth rates and storage costs rise, a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to data management is both suboptimal and expensive. Druva’s unique cloud-based solution offers the ability to intelligently tier data across hot and cold storage, which optimizes spend and performance while eliminating disruption to users or applications.
The result is both year over year cost savings as well as monthly savings and more frequent opportunities to optimize data storage. This ultimately leads to reductions in the total cost of ownership (TCO) of up to 50 percent.
Druva intelligent storage tiering ensures end-to-end data protection driven by machine learning, policy management via one-click actions across all tiers, and easier management through a central dashboard to manage archiving, deletion and governance processes.
Druva offers automatic tiering or user-driven tiering to best meet customer needs. For customers who want maximum savings with minimum investment, Druva will manage the process end-to-end via automatic tiering, blending warm and cold pricing across long term retention-eligible data. Alternatively, customers who prefer close oversight of their data have the ability to manually select data tiering based on specific warm and cold tiering.
“IDC estimates approximately 60% of corporate data is ‘cold,’ about 30% ‘warm’ and 10% ‘hot,’” said Phil Goodwin, Director of Research, IDC. “Organizations have typically faced a tradeoff between the cost of storing ever increasing amounts of data and the speed at which they can access the data. Druva’s collaboration with AWS will allow organizations to tier data in order to optimize both cost and speed of access.
Customers can now choose higher speed for the portion of data that needs it and opt for lower costs for the rest of the data that does not. This announcement highlights Druva’s ability to bring these potential cost advantages to market through its SaaS delivery model.”
As the only SaaS solution built completely on AWS, Druva is uniquely positioned to help enterprises strategically protect and manage their data across enterprise-grade data center workloads, cloud applications and endpoints. Druva’s state of the art architecture leverages AWS cloud storage tiers to seamlessly scale with offerings like AWS S3, Glacier and Deep Archive to make it easy for customers to stay on top of latest cloud storages, accelerate data-driven innovations and reduce TCO by up to 50 percent.
“Enterprises are constantly searching for ways to shift budget to innovation projects,” said Mike Palmer, Chief Product Officer, Druva. “Driving down the cost of storage and administration is seen by the enterprise as the best opportunity to move money from legacy. Beyond cost-savings, the ability to see multiple tiers of data in a single pane of glass increases control for governance and compliance and eventually analytics, and shows customers that the public cloud architecture decreases risk, cost and enables them to deliver on the promise of data. Using Druva, customers can now meet their disaster recovery, governance, compliance, or ransomware protection requirements through one simple solution.” | https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2019/08/21/druva-cloud-data-storage/ |
1. Security is NOT encryption. Encryption is a small part of overall security. Security is very multi-faceted, and depends on lots of layers to be effective.
2. Do not confuse time to decrypt with anything more than a means to scare off the script kiddie attacks. Time to decrypt simply forces some wannabe hacker to go on to another site, for example.
3. If you expect encryption alone to deter a well-funded government agency from most countries, think again.
Plus:
The site you link to about bruteforce attack, explains the other depends. 16 bytes takes longer to bruteforce. The idea behind the web site - make your password secure enough so the bad guys will go away, and choose some very easily hackable system.
Before you entrust your life's savings to some encryption based security scheme go to Bruce Schnier's site. He has a bunch of articles.
If you have an 8 byte, diverse character-space password the straight bruteforce attack duration is determined by the number of characters.
I was looking for a method to store encrypted passwords in away that could be decrypted on any computer OS, (Windows/Linux/Mac), and JavaScrypt seemed to offer that, provided it had an internet browser with JavaScript. The encryption need only be sufficient enough to prevent criminal element from helping themselves to my bank account, rather than defeat the FBI.
Online banking uses 256bit encryption , so on the face of it JavaScrypt (AES256) appears to be as least as strong for the same key length.
BTW the key for the encrypted message in the first post is the hexadecimal number (not “text”) below … 1BF5427B1DEB40557B05276D27CC801DD9C500D87441C8B7DF159575D2D851D0
Basic misunderstand is going on here. "Encrypted passwords" are never unencrypted. They are encrypted with one-way encryption the first time the password is entered, then the encrypted form is stored. This is so that people cannot just break into the password database and steal your password. (It's actually more complex than that, as passwords get "salted" as well as encrypted--Google it).
To use an encrypted password, you need to have the same one-way encryption algorithm, encrypt the received password (which should have come to you via an already-secure transmission medium), and then retrieve the encrypted STORED password and compared the just-encrypted recently-entered password.
I have no idea whether JavaScrypt software does a good job of this or not, but was concerned about the phrase "in a way that could be decrypted" because it indicates a basic misunderstanding of how encrypted passwords need to be handled.
If you're storing passwords, use something like bcrypt.
Using JavaScript (the language) for encryption is generally frowned upon in the security community (though there is some argument on this point). Browsers are generally insecure and it's too easy to modify code that is run on the client. | https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/is-javascript-encryption-still-secure.689784/ |

Digital Forensics, also known as Digital Forensic Science is a branch of Forensic Science. Forensic Science is a scientific approach, a methodology of collecting and analyzing information. Forensic Science plays a very major role in Civil and Criminal Law enforcement activities. Digital Forensics, a branch of Forensic Science is deals mainly in recovering and analyzing or investigating data from the digital devices.
The term “Digital Forensics” was coined in 1990. Today, Digital Forensics is mostly used for analyzing data or evidences that are involved in civil or criminal cases.
Applications of Digital Forensics
Analyzing the evidences collected from digital devices or gadgets such as cell phones, laptops, hard disks, etc in civil or criminal cases.
The concept of Digital Forensics coined a new concept known eDiscovery. The term eDiscovery comes in when the techniques of Digital Forensics are use to solve the corporate issues. The procedure, tools, etc. used in eDiscovery are same as that of Digital Forensics but with increased limitations.
Digital Forensics plays a key role during analysis of file artifacts. The various tools, tricks and techniques used in Digital Forensics make it possible to retrieve Meta data and other relevant information from any sort of files or folders.
Often the data retrieved from devices such text messages, etc. helps the investigators to judge the hidden intentions of the criminals behind committing the crime.
Identification of Hardware: - This step involves taking in custody of the hardware devices or gadgets from which we need to extract the information of evidences. No unauthorized personnel must be allowed to gain access to those devices.
Collection of Data: - Each and every sort of data available must be collected. The data may include plain text messages, encrypted messages, files of various formats such images or CSVs, etc. The hard disks of the computers must be properly checked to collect any available data on it.
Analysis of Data: - All the devices and the data must be properly analyzed. The deleted data must be recovered using the available tools and applications. The encrypted data must be decrypted so that it can be easily interpreted. data must also be extracted from the hidden files and folders. Every possible effort must be taken to extract useful evidences. During analysis phase, it is very important to document each and every step utilized in the procedure.
Presentation of the evidence: - While presenting all the evidences in front of the respective judiciary, it is important to present the proofs of the investigation too. This is the point where the need of documentation occurs. Therefore, the experts must always maintain a proper documentation of the techniques applied by them. The Digital Forensics experts must always be ready to provide testimony in courts.
Thus, Digital Forensics covers a broad spectrum of Forensics Science and has become a vital tool for solving various complicated to complicated Civil and Criminal issues. | http://tech-solution-info.blogspot.in/2014/06/what-is-digital-forensics.html |

You're not alone. See Airing Out Security's Dirty Laundry.] "The way we look at it today, it's an important piece of security data," says J.B. O'Kane, principal consultant for risk management vendor Vigilant, of threat probability. "A lot of vendors are providing threat intelligence feeds, and when we look at the larger space of security data and analytics, it's an important piece of the larger risk management equation."
In years past, only the largest and most mature of enterprises could get a decent lock on the frequency and flavor of the threats knocking at their doors enough to base actionable risk decisions on them. Other organizations simply did not see the volume of cyberthreats or have the resources necessary to analyze those threats to develop usable intelligence around trending attacks. As security companies have built up practices over the past few years to deliver that intelligence, risk managers are just now starting to see how they can leverage these feeds. "I think organizations great and small can benefit from intelligence feeds, if for no other reason than most organizations don't have the time, energy, or resources to plot and set their own research and intelligence initiatives," says Will Gragido, senior manager of the RSA FirstWatch Advanced Research Intelligence team at RSA NetWitness. "They need to be able to depend on a party or multiple parties to provide the insight into the threat landscape that they themselves don't have."
When organizations do it right, they can base their remediation prioritization of vulnerabilities not just on the vulnerability severity, but how that is tied to or paired with threat frequency and severity, O'Kane says.
"Coming up with a threat-vulnerability pairing can help you hone in on a risk-based approach," O'Kane says. "If the feed is coming in saying you're exposed to these threats, you start to narrow things down and turn the threats and vulnerabilities into pairs so that now they're decision nodes. Now you're getting closer and closer to understanding the true risk that you might be exposed to." Srinivas Kumar, CTO of TaaSERA, agrees that active intelligence will help drive innovation in IT services, improving early warning and remediation of coordinated and targeted attacks. But it will take equally coordinated efforts to actually integrate threat intelligence into the fabric of today's risk management and security ops practices.
"Threat intelligence is basically the vehicle that helps IT to define all of the security controls to the extent that security controls will accept the threat intelligence," he says. "At the end of the day, there are many security controls they're invested in. They need to have something that's coordinating all of these controls together. Without coordinating, it's going to be difficult to deal with active monitoring."
There are other challenges, as well. For example, some threat feeds are better than others, O'Kane says. "What's a little different is that it's a little closer to the problem or the problem space [than vulnerability or cost of breach information]. It's near real-time, where the information is a little fresher," he says. "Feeds can vary in their data quality. Some are good feeds, some are bad, some have a lot of error built in. Some have a lot of overlap with other feeds, and so removing that redundancy is always a challenge."
Additionally, finding a way to take the data from the feed and turn it into some sort of metric that can be plugged into the risk formula will take work from both vendors and practitioners, O'Kane says. He says that his firm and others are trying to improve the accuracy of threat scoring, not only offering a score on the severity of the threat, but also a confidence score on the accuracy of that severity.
"So the severity could be, on a scale of 1 to 10, an 8 severity; however, based on our research, our confidence in that severity score could be 60 percent," he says. "When you have more pieces of information for validation that, yes, this is truly a bad site, in fact we've captured some code from that site, that's where you have a higher degree of confidence in that severity score."
As the industry dives further into leveraging threat intelligence to make risk-based decisions, Kumar believes there may even be calls for more standardized scoring, similar to what NIST and MITRE do with vulnerabilities.
"In the same way, NIST or some entity has to expand beyond what they do today with vulnerabilities out to attacks," he says.

Assessing an organization's security risk is an important element of an effective enterprise security strategy. It's also a key way to justify future security spending to upper management. In this Dark Reading report, we recommend how to conduct an IT security risk assessment - and how to translate the results into terms that make sense in dollars. Six Steps To A Risk-Based Security Strategy
If there's one thing that's true about security, it's that an organization can never be completely secure. The trick is to determine what's most valuable to your organization, and how big the threats to those assets really are. That's putting risk-based management simply, but it doesn't have to be complicated. In this report we provide some perspective around riskbased security, as well as recommend some best practices for developing and effectively implementing a program.

While the partially inverted yield curve sparks recession fears and a drop in both the Dollar Index and US equity markets, there are a few reasons that it’s not yet time to panic.
The curve between US three-year and five-year Treasury notes and that between two-year and five-year notes inverted on both Monday and Tuesday.
This is first time that inversion was seen since the financial crisis. The Dollar Index hit 96.9650 on Tuesday, a 0.3% drop from last Friday. Today, it crawled a little beyond 97 to 97.064.
From the US’s manufacturing PMI alone—rising from 57.7 in October to 59.3 in November, the economy still shows sign of growth, which is a reason why it’s not time to panic.
The yield curve inversion could be a result of year-end funding pressure. To meet regulatory requirements that have become effective this year, major banks have to increase capital of higher quality.
While a large amount of their capital is in Treasuries as a result, these banks might raise interest rates elsewhere such as in interbank lending, driving rates and short-term yields up.
In addition, the emerging market currency sell-off in the past few months and the ongoing trade standoff have driven the demand for US dollars higher and left an impact on short-term rates.
While the current inversion might not signal an imminent recession, it might be a sign that growth is expected to weaken.
Vincent Heaney, Jon Gordon, and Chris Swann of UBS wrote in a client note that the inversion is an early warning sign of an impending recession which might take a few years to materialize.
For instance, the three-year bond yield became higher than the five-year one in August 2005, more than two years before recession hit at end-2007.
However, do expect a slowdown in the US’s economic growth in 2019 and beyond, which is predicted by organizations such as the IMF because of global trade uncertainties and protectionism
Besides the partial inversion, the 10-year Treasury yield also dropped.
Frances Donald, head of Macroeconomic Strategy at Manulife Asset Management attributes the fall of the 10-year yield to falling inflation expectations and falling term premium on deteriorating sentiment.
“Critically, the growth expectations component of the 10-year Treasury yield is still rising and the bond market is not flagging growth concerns,” Donald said. “Meanwhile, the 2-year Treasury appears constrained by the dovish Fed turn over the past several weeks.”
She expects a recession in 2020 and an inverted yield curve sometime in the next six months is consistent with that call. | https://www.cfoinnovation.com/risk-management/partially-inverted-yield-curve-a-real-red-flag-for-recession |
It’s quite an experience speaking on the IT Executive Alignment Tour and talking to IT executives from business, government, education, and non-profits about the state of IT within their organizations. It’s clear there is quite a diversity of environments which Martin Slofstra also alluded to in his conversations with IT Leaders. I’m seeing increased penetration of ITIL for operational management and COBIT on the more overall strategic level for larger enterprises. However, one item that comes up repeatedly is that the business-side of many organizations still has a hard time looking beyond IT as a maintenance function. We likely need more discussion at the national level between CEOs and IT Leaders on this front - how do you get the business side to look at IT as a Strategic Asset? At last year’s CIPS INFORMATICS Conference in late May, the roundtable between CEO and CIOs provided insights that close alignment was key to business performance. The overall impression was this coming together of executives on both sides provided a valuable forum to move this topic forward.
We talk about aligning IT with business strategy but a better choice of words could be “Aligning IT with the Organization” since IT empowers everything today. | https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/cdnitmanagers/2007/03/05/aligning-it-with-business-week-3-of-the-tour/ |

The Global cyber insurance market is expected to grow at a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 27% from $4.2 billion in 2017 to $22.8 billion in 2024, claims a new report by Data Security Council of India (DSCI), released at a FINSEC Conclave 2019 for Banking and Financial Sector on April 26.
“Cyber risk, data breaches and its consequent financial liabilities, looms large on the rapidly evolving Digitisation momentum of every sector and business. Cyber insurance is proving to be a key tool in the risk management and cost-offsetting arsenal of an enterprise and at the same time scaling up the prevention and protection measures,” said Rama Vedashree, CEO, DSCI in an official press statement.
While the adoption in India is still very limited, the demand for cyber risk insurance is growing. India registered a 40% year-on-year growth from 2017 to 2018, at a time when Indian companies were facing one of the worst ransomware attacks in history, resulting in days of disruption to business operations. About 350 cyber insurance policies have been sold so far, claims the report.
Companies in the IT/ITES (Information Technology/Technical Entry Scheme) sector, along with Banking and Financial Services are early adopters of cyber risk insurance. The insured amount for cyber risks ranges from $1 million to $200 million for Indian companies, says the report.
The report also alludes to the Allianz Risk Barometer 2019 study, which highlights that businesses in India consider cyber incidents as top risk.
According to a March report by Sophos, a security services provider, 76% of Indian businesses were hit by cyberattacks in the past year, while a Microsoft and Frost and Sullivan studyfrom December 2018, pegged average financial cost of cyber attacks for Indian companies at $10.4 million.
Most cyber risk insurance plans provide coverage for losses that might occur due to unexpected cyberattacks, but there are some that cover physical damage to hardware too. Some insurance providers also give the option to personalise the plan in line with the company’s business security requirements.
While cyber risk insurance can help companies minimise their losses, it is not an alternative to the company’s cybersecurity strategy. Cybersecurity experts are of the opinion that the kind of insurance cover a company qualifies for depends on the their cybersecurity efforts. Any insurance provider will first evaluate the strength of a company’s cybersecurity position before issuing a policy. Stronger effort towards cybersecurity can result in better coverage. Fragmented enterprise security can result in inadequate or poorly targeted insurance cover.
Companies need to negotiate the policies carefully before buying them. With governments assigning blame for large scale cyberattacks on each other, insurance companies have found a loophole to exploit.
According to a New York Times report from April 2019, after the NotPetya cyber attack on warehouses of Mondelez International (owner of Cadbury chocolates) in 2017 in US, the company reported financial losses of over $100 million. To the company’s shock, their insurance provider, Zurich Insurance, rejected their claim, citing the war exclusion clause in the insurance contracts, which protects insurance companies from bearing costs related to war damage.
According to the same NYT news report, several insurance providers in US have tried to use war exemption to avoid claims related to cyberattacks. | https://articalize.com/demand-for-cyber-risk-insurance-in-india-grew-by-40-in-2018/ |
The No. 1 U.S. automaker promoted manager Jeff Massimilla to the post as part of an eight-month review of its product design and engineering, said GM Vice President of Global Product Development Mark Reuss.
“If you look at the technology…as we put semi-autonomous and autonomous systems into vehicles, we have to be able to look at this at a very critical systems level and do it defect-free for the customer," Reuss said. "So that’s the competitive advantage we’re trying to really put in place for General Motors.”
Vehicles rely on tiny computers to manage everything from engines and brakes to navigation, air conditioning and windshield wipers. Security experts say it is only a matter of time before malicious hackers are able to exploit software glitches and other vulnerabilities to try to harm drivers.
Security researchers in recent years have uncovered vulnerabilities in those systems that they say make cars susceptible to potentially dangerous attacks.
For example, at last year's Def Con hacking conference in Las Vegas, security researchers Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek exposed methods for attacking the Toyota Prius and Ford Escape. In August of this year they published a list of the world's "most hackable" cars.
A group of well-known hackers and security professionals in August sent an open letter to GM and other automakers asking them to implement basic guidelines to defend cars from cyber attacks.
The non-profit group, known as "I am the Calvary" has suggested that carmakers adopt a five-part cyber-safety program to make their products less susceptible to attacks by hackers.
Egil Juliussen, an analyst with IHS Automotive, said that the move reflects the increasing importance of cybersecurity to the industry.
"The long-term trend is that the auto manufacturers will have to make security part of the hardware and software architecture," he said. "It won’t make it impossible to hack, but it will make it hard enough so that there is no financial gain to do the hacking.”

Statistics from Beaming, an ISP (internet service provider) company revealed that cyber attacks on businesses have surged over the summer.
According to the study businesses in the UK experienced 157,528 attacks between July and September which is an increase of 243 per cent on the same period last year.
The number of attacks from IP address locations in China more than doubled. Security analysts from Beaming also traced a large number of attacks originating from Taiwan, Brazil, and Russia.
Beaming managing director Sonia Blizzard said: “Previous summers have been relatively quiet when it comes to cybercrime, but the hackers haven’t yet taken a break this year. Throughout 2019 we have witnessed new highs in the volume of cyberattacks hitting organisations in the UK and also the number of active agents behind those attempts.” “We are tackling more and more malicious code at a network level to minimise the threat of online attacks to our customers. The hackers are after the weakest link they can find, so companies need to boost their resilience to these sustained, indiscriminate attacks.
“They can do this by ensuring their software and cybersecurity defences are up-to-date, putting in place measures such as managed firewalls and educating employees to help them avoid the main risks they could be exposed to.” | https://mobilenewscwp.co.uk/News/article/cyber-attacks-uk-businesses-surge-record-highs |

"With so much at stake, the opportunities for fraudsters are countless and we need to do more."
One in six smartphone users have fallen victim to cyber attacks, according to information services firm, Experian.
The mobile devices and their tablet counterparts are particularly vulnerable due to a lack of protection from malicious software.
Reported attacks include phishing emails, and perhaps more worryingly, session hijacks. Victims of the latter have had their browsing interrupted, usage monitored and their session taken over remotely, by cyber criminals.
Ori Eisen, lead researcher at Experian has cited this year in particular as a ‘tipping point,’ for mobile cyber attacks.
The firm found that there has been an 80 per cent increase in mobile-targeted phishing attacks.
He said: “The rapid rise in demand for online banking and retail combined with very little security on devices has created a massive opportunity for cyber criminals leaving many people and businesses extremely vulnerable.”
Experian’s findings come just as retail’s busiest period gets into full swing. Shoppers are expected to spend up to £74 billion over the holiday season.
Research indicates that nearly half of mobile users are using internet banking services, and one in three are using their devices for online shopping.
Internet sales are expected to contribute £17.3 billion.
“There are approximately five billion connected devices globally, serving a billion online bank accounts and contributing $13trillion to global ecommerce sales and transactions,” Mr Eisen continued.
“With so much at stake, the opportunities for fraudsters are countless and we need to do more – as an industry and as individuals – to protect ourselves.” 93 per cent of Britons profess to having security software installed on their Laptops or PCs, indicating that mosts are aware of the risks.
However, a third of participants in the mobile-centric study, claimed they didn’t have anti-virus installed because they were unaware that they needed it.
A further 12 per cent reportedly assumed protection was provided by their service provider.
The report follows recent arrests made in November 2014, tackling cyber criminals using Remote Access Trojans (RATs). RATs give hackers control over computers, allowing them to monitor user activity.
Hackers can even turn on the user’s webcam, breaching the personal privacy of victims as well as accessing sensitive data.
Earlier in 2014, DESIblitz reported that Hammad Akbar, CEO of a business selling ‘Stealth Genie’ software, was arrested.
The software, billed as a method to catch cheating spouses, allows users to monitor activity on the device, including texts, emails and internet activity. It’s easy enough to install, and once on the device, the app goes undetected.
Research has shown that Android devices are most vulnerable to attack. A study from Finland-based, F-Secure Labs found that 97 per cent of mobile malware was Android targeted.
However, Apple users are still susceptible. Recently, the Android rivals introduced Apple Pay to the US.
Apple Pay has been billed as a revolutionary way to pay, but experts have pointed out a number of vulnerabilities.
The payment method is tied to the user’s iTunes account, that have been known to have been compromised before. In 2012, some devices were compromised by simply following Apple’s official password reset protocol.
Also, Apple Pay works by transferring data via near field communication (NFC).
Experts say NFC transmissions, used in Apple’s staple mobile device, are just like any other data transfer, and can be compromised.
Dmitry Bestuzhev of security software firm, Kapersky said: “It sends and receives information which can be intercepted.”
Considering the disturbing ‘one in six’ statistic, it begs the question of just how far an experienced hacker can dig into mobiles – devices that follow almost everybody, everywhere that are often always connected to the internet. | https://www.desiblitz.com/content/1-6-smartphones-vulnerable-cyber-attack |
