Remember that old line from the movie Jaws? “Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...”
Unfortunately, that’s the way things are in the world of computer security. Just when we think we’ve seen everything, a so-called Black Hat comes up with a new form of Malware.
The latest, and one of the nastiest is called Ransomware. In a Ransomware attack, one or more of your computers is infected with a program that encrypts your critical data files. When you go to access them, you’ll see a message that looks something like this:
Your personal files are encrypted
And then you’ll be asked to pay $500 or more to have them unlocked. Here’s a particularly scary example described in NetworkWorld Magazine:
"We are a 250 employee non-profit and we heavily rely on our computer systems in almost everything we do. Yesterday, one of our admin workstations was hit with CryptoWall Version 2.0, and because this workstation had drives mapped to all our servers, and the administrator had permissions, all our seven servers were encrypted and we were dead in the water.
CryptoWall took just 55 minutes to encrypt 75 Gigs of information, and it had penetrated most of our network before we found out what was happening, isolate the workstation and get it disconnected from the network. We had backups of the seven servers but it would take days to restore those, so we opted to find out if we could decrypt the files first.”
In the case above, the company was able to pay the Ransomware and they got most of their data back. But here’s the problem with paying the ransom (apart from the money):
First of all, the more people pay those ransoms, the more hackers will discover that this is a profitable business, and the attacks will escalate.
The second problem is even worse: even if you get your data back, there’s no guarantee that the infection has been removed from your network. So within a few days, your data could be encrypted again and the whole cycle repeated.
Sounds horrible. So what can you do to protect yourself?
It is horrible. We’ve had to deal with it a few times and it’s not pretty. So here are some important steps you can take to make sure you never have to experience it:
1. The first, and most important tool in your arsenal is strong network perimeter protection. In other words, you need a powerful firewall; a consumer device that you buy at a “big box” store for $90 just isn’t going to cut it.
2. Effective and current AntiVirus software is also essential. If your AntiVirus subscription has expired or you’re running a basic, free AntiVirus program like Microsoft Security Essentials, you’re putting your computer, and your data at risk.
3. Unfortunately, AntiVirus software doesn’t catch everything. You also need an anti-Malware program like Malwarebytes Pro.
4. And finally, you play a critical role in the security equation. Always be careful about opening emails from unknown senders, and never open attachments unless you know exactly what they are. If you have a laptop that you take home, try to avoid letting anyone else (especially children!) play with it. That’s a sure-fire way of importing an infection into your organization.
This final observation: if you’re a Connectability Managed Services client, we include all of the protective software and hardware as part of our agreement. And we back that up by continually monitoring your network for any hint of suspicious activity. | https://www.connectability.com/ransomware-stay-protected/ |
Nowadays phishing attacks are one of the most notorious and dangerous threats to any organisation. It is estimated that the financial impact of phishing attacks could reach up to 5 billion dollars per year. Due to their wide-spread nature and impact, awareness raising for such malicious activities is one of the major cyber security measures.
Human nature is what makes such attacks possible. Based on the social engineering phenomenon, malicious users play with human trust, organisational hierarchy and empathy to lure unaware internet users to give their personal data, their money or any type of private information. The vast e-presence of users, especially on social networks, with very low awareness for such dangers, makes the target pool enormous. Additionally, technical requirements to perform phishing attacks are quite simple, making it easy even for low-tech cyber criminals.
The Faculty of Computer Science and Engineering at UKIM recently performed a phishing exercise: the reasons were manifold. Testing students’ awareness of this dangerous threat was of course the primary motive, together with the need to test institutional readiness, awareness and response. The lessons learned were useful both for students and for the faculty itself. The initiative started as a student project in a network security course; it was communicated to the faculty’s computing center, but with the request not to react to events unless specifically contacted by students.
The tech requirements were quite simple and actually quite trivial for a computer science or engineering students in their final year. Python was used to write a single sign-on page (SSO) mimicking the original faculty’s SSO page. Also, some Python scripts were used to crawl the social networks to acquire the targets’ contact details. Free hosting was used, along with free DNS server and free domain (within the .ml domain, quite similar to the .mk domain used in N. Macedonia).
The SSO page was created including all necessary CSS as well as a validation JavaScript code. All usernames, as well as hash codes of the entered passwords were logged in a database.
When the application was deployed it was strengthened and precautionary measured were taken to avoid being hacked and the discloser of users in the database. This proved to be necessary, since some of the retaliation steps included exploits such as SQL injection.
The main feature that enabled the direct contact with students was the format of the official students’ email addresses. Namely, the faculty uses the format [email protected] for the students emails, where X is optional and it is used only if there are multiple students with same name and surname. To make the attack more realistic, no inside info was used, i.e. all the students names were collected from public posts and/or social network groups.
Figure 1. Original vs Fake SSO
The attack started by sending emails to previously collected student names. The email was sent from a fake gmail account, with the official contact email in the From: field. A total of 1009 emails out of the 2160 harvested email accounts. The content was simple: the offer of last minute positions for students exchange in EU and USA. To apply, students just needed to click on the link in the email that led to the fake SSO page. The emails were sent in small batches to avoid blacklisting.
The first login attempt to the fake SSO page was within a minute of the first batch of emails sent. A total of 224 login attempts were made. Since password were not stored, the total number of valid logins could not be fully accessed, but we suspect that most of them were carried out using valid credentials.
Although the students did not have any single point to report such an incident, their response was noticeable. Interestingly, the same social networks that were used to harvest their names, were used to share the experience and raise awareness. The first post mentioning the suspected phishing attacks occurred only a couple of hours from the start of the attack. Interestingly, the students organised themselves and started to retaliate. Many attempts of SQL injections and other attacks were logged. Also, they started to contact the faculty administration and staff and reported to the hosting provider, which resulted in the application being blocked 27 hours after the start of the attack. Later, for the purpose of awareness raising and dissemination, the page was unblocked with a big red banner (see figure 1), informing about the exercise.
All the students who had tried to log in were advised to change their password as soon as possible, and to become more vigilant in the future. A public announcement was posted on the faculty website explaining the dangers of phishing attacks and best practices for protection and prevention.
Lessons were learned at institutional level too. Steps were taken to ensure that student names were not published online, awareness lectures were organised and, most importantly, a CIRT was established to prevent and mitigate future real phishing attacks.

The malware attacks crypto wallets of Exodus, Electrum, Atomic, Jaxx, Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Litecoin.
A new kind of virus has been discovered that is infecting crypto wallets.
Bitdefender, a cybersecurity company, during its research came across a malware that targets crypto wallets.
This is a new family of crypto-wallet stealer malware, dubbed BHUNT.
Its components are specialized to steal wallet files (wallet.dat and seed.seco), clipboard information and passphrases used to recover accounts.
BHUNT attacks Exodus, Electrum, Atomic, Jaxx, Ethereum, Bitcoin, and Litecoin wallets.
The malware usually attacks the users who have crypto wallets installed on their system and have also installed cracked software.
“Almost all of our telemetry originated from home users who are more likely to have cryptocurrency wallet software installed on their systems. This target group is also more likely to install cracks for operating system software, which we suspect is the main infection source.”
The report reads
It can also harvest passwords and cookies stored in browser caches including account passwords for social media, banking, etc. that might even result in online identity theft.
Once the malware gets access to the crypto wallet through the passphrase, it transfers the funds to the attacker’s account.
Keep your security solution up to date and never turn it off, especially if it blocks the installation of such software.
Crypto crime has increased alongside Decentralized Finance (DeFi) adoption. However, the proportion of the crime to the whole crypto industry reduced in 2021. As the industry matures, crypto crimes will reduce which could further increase crypto adoption.
A similar hack was perpetrated on EasyFi. You can get the whole details of the hack from our experts in the underlying video. | https://coincrunch.in/2022/01/22/new-malware-that-exploits-crypto-wallets-found/ |
This past February marks the two-year anniversary when Livingston County, Michigan, was hit by ransomware. The wealthiest county in the state had three years’ worth of tax information possibly at the mercy of cybercriminals.
As a local government, county CIO Rich C. Malewicz said they have been a target of ransomware, but in this instance they had backups at the ready. He said the most memorable ransomware attack was a result of a watering hole campaign using malvertizing to infect users visiting a local news website.
“This attack was very clever in that all you had to do to get infected was visit the website, you didn't even have to click on the page. Once the user went to the local news website, they were immediately redirected to a site hosting exploit code and the infamous page appeared demanding a ransom with instructions,” he said.
The attackers embedded malicious code in the iframe that redirected the users to the exploit landing page. The ransomware spread to several PCs and servers before it was contained.
“We were fortunate enough to have a working backup of the data and we recovered shortly after. If we didn't have a working backup this could have been a disaster,” Malewicz said.
■ RELATED: How to respond to ransomware threats
Aside from the loss of personally identifiable information of the 188,000 citizens of the county, the government would have been looking at the labor cost to replicate the documents on top of the damage to its reputation. The county’s network is also shared with public safety entities as well as educational institutions.
“It's pretty clear that local government is a primary target of ransomware attacks, mainly because they have lagged so far behind the private sector in terms of cyber protection, many don’t have working backup solutions - if any at all, and they tend to pay the ransom,” he said.
Step 1: Understand how and why your applications are being utilized.
Recent headlines show public safety agencies and local governments will pay the ransom, so they are targeted even more - attackers will migrate to the industry that tends to pay the ransom and to those that have an inadequate cybersecurity posture. Case in point the Tewksbury, Mass., police paid the ransom four or five days after they could not break the encryption and needed the attackers to send them the private key in order to access the data.
“Protecting an organization from ransomware or any type of malware is similar to an arms race, as the threat evolves so must your defenses!” Malewicz said.
The county turned to predictive analytics in hopes of halting the ransomware attacks. Livingston County uses Unitrends backup solution to provide Malewicz's team peace of mind that in the event our cyber defense fails.
“Ransomware was largely unheard of years ago, but today it's a household name - everyone knows someone or some organization which has been infected. The future guarantees that more menacing ransomware variants will take center stage wreaking havoc in our homes and places of business. When ransomware exploits bypass perimeter cyber defenses you have only to rely on your predictive analytic cyber defenses to protect you, else I hope you have stable and secure backup to fall back on!” he said.
It is thought that with predictive analytics, it brings the technology more into a savior category then a staple. It elevates the ability of the technology to detect changes in data, which points to outbreak of ransomware and then allows the IT administrator to refer back to the last legitimate backup point.
Predictive analytics is a necessity because the malware of tomorrow is unknown and will surely evolve to our detriment. When traditional cyber defense technology is rendered ineffective or human error is at play, predictive analytic cyber defense technology becomes the last line of defense for an organization. The majority of cyber defenses in an organization is built around signature-based models of "known" malware, whereas predictive analytics is built around the "unknown", establishing a pattern of life within the organization and protecting them from malware and other abnormal activity as well.
Paul Brady, CEO of Unitrends, said, by infusing predictive analytics into Unitrends' backup and business continuity solutions, the company enables customers to detect ransomware as the last line of defense. "Through predictive analytics and machine learning against backup data patterns, organizations of any size can not only detect ransomware before it wreaks havoc on their data, but also revert back to the last legitimate backup point to decrease down time," he said.
Unitrends explained the process: As backups occur, the software processes data regularly. Even without knowing the detailed contents of your files, metrics are collected, analyzed and stored for future decision making. These metrics include ingest patterns, change rates, growth rates, and more. The backup system is able to use machine learning over time to recognize that certain data anomalies are indicative of a ransomware attack. When the right conditions occur, the administrator is alerted immediately.
Ransomware is at the top of the list
Robert Huber, chief security and strategy officer at Eastwind Networks, said ransomware is at the top of the list of priorities for many CISOs and CIOs. Given the cost of an infection via loss of data, or the cost to reclaim your data it makes sense.
“A great method to aid in detection, and more importantly prevention, is the use of predictive analytics, or machine learning. Unfortunately, the compute to perform machine learning at scale has historically been slow and expensive making it mostly reactive. This had been compounded by the difficulty in deploying and managing such as solution,” he said.
■ RELATED: The CSO 2016 Security Data Analytics Survival Guide
As the cost and ability to deploy machine learning (and in turn predictive analytics) have decreased, he said, expect to see many security companies add it to their solutions and apply it to the ransomware problem.
Often the “next-gen” moniker afforded to many new security products are just applying machine learning to existing problem sets, he said. The availability of platforms such as the Google Cloud Machine Learning Engine and Amazon Machine Learning have reduced the cost and complexity. In addition the community has improved the state of best practice for those who choose to build it on their own.
“Less complex, expensive and faster [machine learning] allow companies to apply it to cybersecurity in more of a near real-time mode to predict/prevent, versus react. Of course, this presumes that companies are able to build [machine learning] models that can identify this activity while it is still nascent. And this is where you need strong data scientists to extract the relevant features to build the models,” Huber said.
TIBCO’s Michael O’Connell pointed out some examples of when predictive analytics and machine learning come in handy.
Issue: Too many false positives arise because organizations tend to set independent thresholds for the rules and KPIs they believe need to be kept under surveillance. This is a nice starting point but inevitably leads to large inefficiencies, as the number of rules augments and their intra-correlations are not understood.
Solution: Using machine learning for optimally combining existing or new rules into rich fraud indicators, based on tried and tested math, ensure you are way more likely to get relevant alerts in a much smaller sample of investigation efforts. TIBCO’s machine learning models have both supervised and an unsupervised component. Supervised machine learning models focus on distinguishing within historic data known past fraud cases from the remainder. Financial crime detection also needs to be able to accommodate surprises through the use of unsupervised models. This type of model focuses on profiling typical past transactions and spotting odd ones. Not necessarily fraudulent, but odd, and therefore worthy of investigation.
Issue: Dangerous transactions will be investigated by humans, who must decide for each transaction whether it is criminal or not. This leads to long investigation times to come to accurate and precise conclusions.
Solution: Investigators’ decisions can be made maximally efficient with a TIBCO Spotfire investigative template that collects all information about the transaction’s history from any number of disparate sources. Investigators can complete their analyses on TIBCO Business Process Management (BPM), such that all decisions regarding each alert are auditable at any time. Furthermore, by placing Spotfire on top of BPM, we can identify bottlenecks in the investigation process and suggest how to address them. More importantly, as transactions get investigated and a conclusion is made regarding whether they were actually fraud or not, this information is used to monitor model health over time.

Apple reportedly chose a standalone AR / VR headset over a…
On Wednesday, Apple released the 15.2.1 version of iOS, a minor update to the mobile operating system that fixes bugs, including a denial-of-service vulnerability previously reported by The Verge.
The 15.2.1 patch addresses a vulnerability triggered through HomeKit, the software API for connecting smart home devices to iOS applications. If the vulnerability was exploited, HomeKit devices labeled with a very long name would cause iPhones and iPads to endlessly freeze, crash, and reboot.
Since HomeKit device names are backed up to iCloud, signing in to the same iCloud account with a restored device would trigger the crash again.
Apple’s security notification for the 15.2.1 update lists only one change, a fix for the HomeKit vulnerability. Details of the fix state that a “resource exhaustion issue was addressed with improved input validation,” presumably to prevent long HomeKit device names from being read into memory by iOS devices.
Besides security updates, the patch also fixed a bug that impacted performance of third-party CarPlay apps and another that prevented the Messages app from loading certain photos sent via iCloud. Users can update iOS by opening the Settings app on a device and tapping “General,” then selecting “Software Update.”
The HomeKit bug was discovered by security researcher Trevor Spiniolas, who published details on his blog on January 1st. At the time, Spiniolas accused Apple of being slow to respond to his initial disclosure, which was made in August 2021.
According to Spiniolas’ blog, the bug affects iOS versions at least as far back as 14.7 and likely before, meaning these devices are still vulnerable. Owners of iPhones or iPads should update their devices as soon as possible to benefit from the new update. | https://silverrtech.com/apple-patches-homekit-denial-of-service-bug-with-new-ios-update/ |
AvosLocker is a ransomware as a service (RaaS). It employs RSA encryption to encrypt files then uses the ChaCha20 algorithm to encrypt encryption-related information. AvosLocker originally only targeted Windows systems, but new variants target Linux VMware ESXi virtual machines as well. AvosLocker is typically delivered via spam emails. The threat actors behind AvosLocker are also leveraging CVE-2021-34473, CVE-2021-31206, CVE-2021-34523, and CVE-2021-31207.
The group behind AvosLocker has been active since 2021. Following a successful attack, the threat actors release the name of their victim on the Dark Leak TOR website. The threat actors also advertise the latest AvosLocker variant on the Dark Leak site. They claim the latest Windows variant of AvosLocker is one of the fastest on the market and has highly scalable threading and selective ciphers. | https://blog.polyswarm.io/avoslocker-ransomware |

Public sector organizations and agencies face unprecedented pressure to provide services to citizens and constituents in a transparent, cost-effective and efficient manner. In fact, the expectation is that they also be customer-focused and responsive to stakeholder needs in a climate of shrinking budgets and resources. Because of this, today, like never before, public sector agencies have had to become more proactive and operate more like private sector businesses. As part of this new behavioral model, agencies are required to maintain and secure an immense amount of data that is collected each day in order to make “just-in-time” decisions, as well as forecast for the long term. The kinds of data and information to collect can be anything from crime data to public health information, economic development data and public school information. While maintaining and securing systems and data can be a challenge at times, there are a few things that can be done to move your organization forward and continue fighting cybersecurity threats.
Having a security ecosystem in place is a great place to start. Not only does it provide secure systems that enable operations to deliver citizen and constituent services, but it provides a means to secure the vast amounts of information for which the public sector is responsible. The imperative is to secure all systems and data while ensuring appropriate levels of transparency, that meets the evolving needs of our citizens and constituents.
As cybersecurity threats have proliferated and technology has advanced, government data, security, and compliance have become increasingly complex. As the CIO for a progressive public sector county government (DeKalb County, Georgia), I can convey that we recognized the need to adopt new solutions and approaches to secure our systems and data.
In a recent case study from Palo Alto Networks, Bret Lopeman, Ada County, Idaho, IT security engineer, astutely identified that we can no longer rely on old security technology; we must be proactive rather than reactive as we protect systems and data. This challenge is consistent across all sectors, not just government.
As Lopeman shares in the case study, he ultimately moved his organization to the Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Security platform, to stay ahead of increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity threats, while enabling a wide range of network access privileges for the diverse needs of their county. Similarly, DeKalb County is leveraging Palo Alto Networks’s Next-Generation Security platform, as well as taking advantage of WildFire, Global Protect, Threat Prevention, AutoFocus, and Panorama. We are also evaluating the potential benefits of moving from traditional end-point technology to Traps, which leverages threat intelligence, machine learning, as well as local static and dynamic analytics.
Another program which we have leveraged to help gain a better understanding of DeKalb’s IT security stance is Palo Alto Networks’s Security Life Cycle Review (SLR). This free offering examines your network traffic and generates a comprehensive report unique to your organization. The report provides actionable intelligence around the applications, URL traffic, types of content and threats traversing the network, including recommendations that can be employed to reduce the organization’s overall risk exposure.
Last, but certainly not least, if you want help navigating your IT security ecosystem, and work with others that have common interests, products, or challenges—I encourage you to join a user group like Fuel. If you are a DBA, Security Engineer, functional user, CIO or other security technology professional, the Fuel User Group may be a great fit for you. It’s free to join and you’ll have access to resources like online forums and special interest groups.

A web application is an application that is accessed by users over a network such as the Internet or an intranet. The term may also mean a computer software application that is coded in a browser-supported programming language (such as JavaScript, combined with a browser-rendered markup language like HTML) and reliant on a common web browser to render the application executable.
Web applications are popular due to the ubiquity of web browsers, and the convenience of using a web browser as a client. The ability to update and maintain web applications without distributing and installing software on potentially thousands of client computers is a key reason for their popularity, as is the inherent support for cross-platform compatibility. Common web applications include webmail, online retail sales, online auctions, wikis and many other functions.
Web hacking refers to exploitation of applications via HTTP which can be done by manipulating the application via its graphical web interface, tampering the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) or tampering HTTP elements not contained in the URI. Methods that can be used to hack web applications are SQL Injection attacks, Cross Site Scripting (XSS), Cross Site Request Forgeries (CSRF), Insecure Communications, etc.
As an expert Penetration Tester and Security Administrator, you need to test web applications for cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, cookie hijacking, command injection attacks, and secure web applications from such attacks. | https://ilabs.eccouncil.org/web-application-penetration-testing/ |
Kaspersky's latest anti-virus hardly malfunctions while in use. The algorithm of the software is very carefully spun with regular updates. Therefore, users do not have to face any kind of false alarms or threats when installing any kind of legitimate software. With the regular system scanning, Kaspersky ensures that threatening virus attacks any of new programs are kept at bay. This is a relief for users seeking unproblematic anti-virus software. This is not the case with other anti-virus programs that often falsely detect viruses when new (and legit) software is installed.
Kaspersky is also very easy to use.
After logging into the software, users will find four screens that control virus detection and malware blocking. Navigating these screens are simple enough. However, we have just one word of caution for non-technical users: it is better not to make any settings changes if it can be avoided. If you aren’t sure about this, call the Kaspersky technical help line.
Installing this software is also effortless and fast. The only drawback we saw is that Kaspersky may not load properly if malware is already present. Before installing Kaspersky, in this case, users will have to remove any present malware.
Among the four screens, the user will find an icon of a computer and several smaller icons under it. This icon is useful if the user needs to know about the security issues of the computer. Users can find all links and features related to all systems operations quite easily as well. The whole system makes Kaspersky extremely user friendly and effective.
It's hard to find much fault with the newest version of Kaspersky. We completely recommend this product for easy and efficient use. Do you like Kaspersky?

(October 30, 2019) Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL) confirmed Malware found on the Indian Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KNPP) administrative-network created by North Korea's state-sponsored hackers. NPCIL said it did not reach its critical internal network used to control the power plant's nuclear reactors. In September 2019, Kaspersky reported that the Lazarus Group had been spotted spreading Dtrack and AMDtrack versions across India, targeting its financial sector. Most attacks have been focussed on hacking banks and cryptocurrency exchanges to gather funds for the Pyongyang regime to raise funds for its weapons and missile programs.
Historically, the Lazarus Group or any other North Korean hacker group rarely gone after targets in the energy and industrial sector mostly, they went after proprietary intellectual property rather than sabotage. The KNPP incident looks more like an accidental infection, rather than a well-planned operation. | https://ananova.com/antivirus-review-kaspersky?noamp=mobile |
Cyberspace is the colloquial term used to collectively refer to the virtual space that now occupies a significant position in our day to day affairs. Enabled by the omniscient and omnipresent Internet, Cyberspace has gone from a simple method of interpersonal communication to a driving factor behind the global economy and a borderless society that flourishes in the world of 1s and 0s. Internet usage is at an all-time high with no signs of slowing down, as more and more users begin using it. As of 2015, according to the International Telecommunication Union’s official facts and figures, 3.2 billion people use the internet. 2 billion of those are from countries denoted as “developing countries”. To put this in perspective, global penetration rate of internet has increased from 6.5% in 2000 to a whopping 43% in 2015. The significant user base of internet makes it abundantly clear that the Internet is no longer a privilege accorded to a select few in the modernized Western world; it is now a ubiquitous technology that has pervaded almost every single sphere of human existence.
It is hard to pinpoint any sector or segment of the modern industrial world that hasn’t been affected in one way or the other by the presence of the Internet. Logistics, communication, data handling and processing, transactions, monetary activities et al, have all undergone a sea change by mere virtue of their adoption of the Internet. The advent of consumer friendly Internet, no longer limited to its defence related origins, can be considered akin to the invention of electricity in that it helped the global economy to collectively undergo a sea change in terms of how things are done. The point to be made here is that the Internet has become an inseparable part of 21st century human existence. With such a tremendous development in technology, issues rise multifold in direct proportion to the expansion of the Internet’s reach and access. This article will not delve into the technical aspect of what enables nefarious entities to create problems through the presence of the Internet, but will rather focus on the ramifications of how cyberspace has opened up an all new platform for States’ existence, making them vulnerable to warfare of a kind hitherto unseen.
Indisputably, the Internet has become an indispensable part of state and economic machinery. Further, civilian and military cyber infrastructures often co-exist. This has enabled a more transparent system of democracy to prevail by way of an efficient and organized electronic system and database to provide uniformity across the country. India has the world’s largest database of personal information in the form of the Aadhar scheme where the biometric data of private citizens is stored along with residential addresses, details of family members and other such sensitive data that can easily be misused if in the wrong hands.
Cyberspace and Jurisdiction
Laws applicable to cyber activities face a simple issue; territorial boundaries do not exist in cyberspace. Laws are geographically bound and limited by their jurisdiction. In a world where boundaries do not exist per se and even the limited few that do can be bypassed by even the most basic of users, the law flounders. Jurisdiction is usually decided on the basis of the physical place where the crime was committed, or where it was planned and so on. In other words, jurisdiction entirely relies on a physical, tangible location. Multiple laws exist merely to determine the jurisdiction of the law. When more than one physical location is involved, jurisdiction can become a confusing situation, depending on the domestic laws applicable. This is further exacerbated in scenarios that involve more than one country. The moment a second country is involved in a legal issue, the matter of jurisdiction flares up and it takes a good while before the matter is resolved.
With the exponential growth of cyberspace making it an increasingly essential part of human life, concerns as to its governance also grow proportionately. Cyber Space is devoid of a physical presence and as such is difficult to demarcate into the same boundaries and limits as States. Furthermore, actors in any cyber act can work under the cover of anonymity and therefore make it nigh near impossible to attribute fault to them. Unlike conventional modes of warfare, cyber warfare can be undertaken by a very small number of people with limited resources and achieve devastating results on both civilian and military networks. Cyber warfare generally tends to happen across borders, perpetrated by people within State borders. The overlap between a borderless internet and a world defined by borders leads to a confusing situation as to the application of International Law to the parties involved in the matter.
The Internet is not a place in the technical sense, in that it does not exist in any one place. If every single computer or server is disconnected in, say, the United States of America, the internet will not cease to exist. As long as there are multiple devices connected to one another in some form, a version of the internet will always exist. The point here is that there is no specific physical location for the internet. This in itself is not the problem; the problem lies in the fact that anonymity on the internet is very easy to achieve, given the rise of encryption technology and the simple fact that personal identity on the Internet is easy to fake. For instance, the owner of a pirating website, one that made large amounts of money through hosting links for pirated media, was taken down recently after multiple years of flourishing on the internet unchecked, even though the website caused millions of dollars of damage in piracy and subsequent lost sales. Anybody with a reasonable amount of skill can secure their identity from being revealed on the Internet and this includes legal authorities.
This combination of general anonymity and a lack of geographical boundaries makes it very hard for any authority to decide on the jurisdiction of a cyber-crime.
e treated as merely a new form of technology used to perpetrate violence. After all, we do not come out with new legislation for every new kind of tank or gun or helicopter produced by an army. However, one also needs to figure out if cyber-crime can actively be considered to be cyber-warfare. Crime is not an act of war. International law and regulations do not define what an act of cyber-warfare technically entails. Given the dynamic nature of the field, it may be hard to come up with an exhaustive definition, but that shouldn’t stop a comprehensive one from being made. The difficulty lies in whether any cyber attack can be considered to be an armed attack and whether the use of an internet network can be considered as a weapon of any kind. Since hackers and other entities that seek to commit cyber-crimes rely mostly on software and existing internet infrastructure, it is hard to qualify a basic tenet of internet infrastructure as a weapon.
This brings us to the context of cyber-crime. It is generally perceived that a single act of cyber-crime cannot be considered as an act of war or as an armed conflict. But what about cyber-crime committed in aid of or in furtherance of an armed conflict? If two countries are at war and one hacks into the military database of the other to commit acts of cyber-espionage, can this be considered an act of war? We do not know, because while the UN has defined most war crimes and also what defines an act of war, it does not include cyber crimes. However it is clear that even in times of peace, countries routinely commit acts of cyber-espionage in other countries. In 2016, the Democratic National Convention in the USA was hacked with its emails being leaked to the general public. Fingers have been pointed at Russia, blaming it for the attack. This is an important accusation to consider, because there is no definitive way that the blame can be pinned on Russia itself, unless a State authority openly admits to such a claim. In other words, unless Vladimir Putin decides to declare that he or his government sanctioned such an attack, it is near impossible to fix the liability on anybody. Predictably enough, Russia has denied any connections with the hack.
In any case of Cyber Warfare, damage occurs similar to conventional warfare and yet the belligerent party may not even be identifiable. The small scale of operations also makes it easier for States to disavow the actions of the hostile parties and claim lack of liability. This makes the application of the rules of warfare, as laid down by International Humanitarian Law, harder. Some may even question the applicability of IHL in the first place. It is, however, undeniable that the ramifications of cyber warfare are felt in the real world and can cause legitimate financial and infrastructural damage to modern society.
The 2016 hack of the Democratic National Congress in the United States shows us yet another important aspect of the modern form of cyber-warfare; civilian infrastructure and state infrastructure overlap significantly. Just as the military often uses roads meant for civilian purposes, the military also uses the internet infrastructure that civilians do. Military networks utilize the same infrastructure, such as optic cables, satellites, routers, node etc. that civilian networks do. Any attack that takes down a military network will also take down the civilian networks. This is worrisome because of how many basic infrastructural needs are now “on the grid”, i.e, connected to the same networks. Electricity, water supply and traffic signals for instance are often on the grid, thereby making them vulnerable to attack. Unlike military databases, these are unlikely to be secured by advanced technology. This indicates that an attack on a military network will have consequences not limited to the military network alone, thereby causing harm to innocent civilians, which goes against the rules of war.
Conclusion; The Tallinn Manual and the Road Ahead
The Tallinn manual tasks itself with deciding whether traditional rules of war will apply to cyber-warfare. To put it succinctly, the manual asserts that traditional rules will indeed apply to cyber-warfare. The experts involved in the creation of the manual concluded that, “…the mere fact that a computer (rather than a more traditional weapon, weapon system, or platform) is used during an operation has no bearing on whether that operation amounts to a ‘use of force’. Similarly, it has no bearing on whether a State may use force in self-defence.”
The manual is very thorough and comprehensively studies everything that could possibly interact in the realm of cyber space and IHL. In doing so, it highlights the main issues that concern the applicability of existing provisions of the IHL to cyber warfare. The manual settles on “Severity” as one of the major factors of differentiating whether an act of cyber crime can be considered a use of force or not:
“In this regard, the scope, duration, and intensity of the consequences will have great bearing on the appraisal of their severity. A cyber operation, like any operation, resulting in damage, destruction, injury, or death is highly likely to be considered a use of force. Severity is self-evidently the most significant factor in the analysis.”
In a true reflection of the rapidly evolving nature of the cyber-world, the Tallinn Manual is already set to be updated to “Tallinn Manual 2.0” which is expected to be finished by the end of 2016. The changes are expected to include new and updated conventions and modes of application of existing rules of International Law and warfare. The updated version of this document will be the latest and most comprehensive work on the application of IHL to Cyber Warfare and will hopefully settle the ambiguity and vagueness that surrounds this field now. The manual is a lengthy and comprehensive one that is way too vast to be succinctly summed up here. However, it is a concrete step in the right direction as it tackles the issue head on and with a sense of clarity that has largely been lacking so far in the international field of human rights.
The manual has been placed in the conclusion segment of this article to reflect its conclusive nature in terms of how it has handled the applicability of IHL to cyber space and the potential rise of cyber terrorism. However, modern cyber warfare has not been attributed to terrorists, but largely to State actions. States like Russia and the United States have a perennial cyber cold war going on that could escalate at any point, given the turbulent politics involved in their relationship. Unlike a physical act of terrorism, cyber terrorism and warfare works on an unimaginable scale with a relatively smaller set of resources. Combined with anonymity and difficulty of attribution, this leads to a potential situation of chaos that is disturbing to even comprehend.
International Humanitarian Law has always been a by-product of warfare. Traditionally, IHL has always evolved to compensate for crimes and horrors committed during major wars in the history of the world. For the first time since the modern advent of International Law itself, IHL has the opportunity to prepare itself for a form of warfare that is yet to cause enough damage to warrant being termed a war crime. Whether or not such warfare will occur is a matter of speculation, but that is no reason for the world to halt progress in the area. It is high time that the nations come together to secure the world from the threat of cyber warfare by putting together a system of laws and conventions under the United Nations framework, to limit the damage of any potential attacks in cyber space. | https://nationalcybersecurity.com/international-humanitarian-law-applicability-cyber-warfare/ |

It can be surprising how much encryption and related techniques are necessary to modern life. They provide the security and uniqueness, used for communications across the internet (ensuring packets of data don’t get intercepted or read by someone they’re not intended for), in mobile telephony and WiFi, and obviously for securing data wherever it’s stored, especially on mobile devices and desktop computers.
The heart of computer encryption is complex mathematics, and that is largely hidden from sight, but occasionally you’ll see references to algorithms and key length, and often the left end of the URL you are visiting on the Web will turn green or blue, to indicate the site uses strong encryption.

Cloud computing is now widely acknowledged to provide greater data accessibility and control than on-premises solutions. However, to take advantage of cloud technology, you must first consider cloud security and make a cloud security assessment.
Moving to the cloud or a new cloud provider means a new set of security concerns and more security approaches than a traditional environment because we see that traditional security tools are no longer sufficient to manage cloud-based security.
See Also: Cloud Security Checklist
The Cloud Security Assessment Checklist aims to provide a list of high-level security areas to consider when evaluating the security of your cloud environment.
Implementing cloud security checklist items that you can use for cloud security assessment will vary based on your unique environment. However, the policies remain the same regardless of how they are implemented.
While you may need to tailor the cloud security assessment to your industry or organization’s size, here are some best practices to consider for your cloud security audit.
Cloud security assessments enable an analysis of the entire cloud environment to determine the extent and direction of potential attacks. In addition, a cloud security assessment can show weaknesses in internal and external components of your company’s cloud infrastructure.
A cloud security assessment assists organizations in evaluating their cloud infrastructures to determine whether adequate levels of security and governance are in place to meet the challenges and risks that each organization faces.
Overall security posture: Interviews are conducted, and relevant documents are reviewed to assess the security of the enterprise cloud infrastructure.
Access control and management: Identity and access management processes are reviewed, including user accounts, roles, and key management.
Network security: Network segmentation and firewall policies are reviewed for common misconfigurations.
Incident management: Review the incident response policy related to the cloud infrastructure, including roles and processes related to an incident.
Storage security: The state of cloud storage is evaluated, including object-level storage, block-level storage, and associated snapshots.
Platform services security: The security configuration of advanced service offerings specific to each cloud service provider is reviewed.
Workload security: Security is reviewed for workloads, including virtualized servers, server-hosted containers, functions, and serverless containerized workloads.
A common problem with cloud security is a misconfiguration. Cloud configurations are the root cause of many security breaches, often caused by accidental mistakes by employees. A cloud security assessment is required to identify such issues and other outdated aspects of the security model.
Another common problem is due to excessive network permissions. Excessive network permissions can allow untrusted third parties to gain unauthorized access via inbound traffic or increase the damage caused by a minor breach via unauthorized outbound traffic.
Excessive privileges, a lack of restrictions on source IP addresses or countries, and a lack of multi-factor authentication (MFA) are common cloud security issues.
Finally, common in cloud-based systems, insufficient or inappropriate logging makes it difficult to detect, characterize, and recover malicious activity, resulting in higher costs.
When these cloud security issues are combined, attackers can easily impersonate authorized activity and modify, leak, or destroy data.
What Are the Benefits of Cloud Security Assessment?
A cloud security assessment provides peace of mind that your organization’s networks and assets are correctly configured, sufficiently secure, and not the subject of an ongoing attack.
When reviewing your organization’s network history, the assessment will also identify access points or other weaknesses in the architecture, as well as detailed recommendations to help strengthen defenses and improve capabilities in the future.
Identify gaps in capabilities that weaken your organization’s cloud security posture.
Compare the maturity of your organization’s current cloud security strategy with leading industry standards and frameworks.
You can define a strategic cloud security roadmap aligned with risk mitigation and business priorities, as well as areas for improvement.
Some of the specific benefits of a cloud security assessment are as follows:
Reduced risk of unintentional misconfiguration: Custom configuration changes suggested as part of a cloud security assessment can help reduce the cloud’s attack surface.
Reduced risk from missed notifications: The recommendations of the cloud security assessment team can improve your organization’s ability to detect and respond to a security breach, preventing a minor issue from becoming a full-blown breach.
Improved resilience: The team performing the cloud security assessment will make recommendations to assist your organization in recovering from a breach as quickly as possible.
More efficient account management: Organizations with non-optimal identity architectures can reduce their time on account and privilege management while also reducing the likelihood of accidental over-privileges.
Detection of past security: A cloud security assessment can identify deviations in an organization’s cloud configuration that could compromise the norm.
Identity and access management is a critical first step in securing your cloud environment. The access management assessment controls how users are identified and authenticated and who can assign access rights.
Access and identity management is the most fundamental step in cloud security risk assessment. At this stage, you need to check the following:
Encryption makes it useless to the hacker as long as the keys are safe, even if your data is breached. The more sensitive the information, the more critical it is to encrypt it.
Good encryption will make leaked information useless for hackers. The type and number of required cryptographic services depend on the size and type of your organization. We recommend that you consider the following: | https://pcidssguide.com/how-to-conduct-a-cloud-security-assessment/ |

There are many pros of Norton Antivirus. I am going to represent some of them which I personally like and it will help you to understand that is Norton Antivirus good.
Fast Scan- There are many antivirus software who takes much time to scan the device. On the other hand, The Norton scans the device with fast speed. If you will see the scanning time of the competitors of the Norton then they take more time to scan the device in comparison to Norton.
More than Antivirus- Norton Antivirus is more than an antivirus. Here you will get a large number of advanced features like a password manager, smart firewall, cloud back up and many more. So you can secure your passwords, get the backup of your PC, and secure online transactions.
Modern UI- Norton has the modern style UI. This order style of UI is easy to learn. Anyone can easily use the software.
Tutorials- Norton Antivirus is easy to use but if you are facing any difficulty. So there are lots of FAQs and knowledge-based to understand it deeply. At the same time, there are lots of video tutorials on youtube. You can use them as well.
Cons of the Norton Antivirus
We have seen the Pros of the Norton Antivirus but as we all know that nothing is perfect in the world. Norton Antivirus has some cons as well.
Few subscriptions offer- It is better to have the many options so that you can easily choose according to your preferences. But Norton doesn’t offer lots of subscription offers. You will get the maximum benefits in one subscription.
Difficulty in Installing other software- If you have the Norton Antivirus then you will also face the problem while installing other software. Norton doesn’t allow to install some simple software in the device. You have to face this kind of problems If you are going to choose the Norton Antivirus.
Makes other software slow- Nortin antivirus requires more resources in the device that makes the other software of the device slow. It impacts the overall performance of the computer.
Expensive- Although Norton offers the advanced feature we can’t ignore that it is expensive as well. If you will see the price of the Norton Antivirus so it is cheaper than the Norton Antivirus. | https://www.malwaretips.org/is-norton-antivirus-good.html |
5. Security Automation and Orchestration
With the increasing complexity of cloud environments, security automation and orchestration will become more important. In 2023, we can expect increased adoption of automation and orchestration tools that can help organizations best manage and respond to security threats. This will include the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to automate threat detection and response, as well as the use of security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) tools to streamline incident response processes.
As more organizations continue adopting cloud environments, cloud security will become an increasingly important issue. In 2023, we can expect to see continued emphasis on multi-cloud security, cloud-native security, zero trust security, IAM, and security automation and orchestration. By staying up to date on these trends and implementing the appropriate security measures, organizations can ensure their cloud environments remain secure and protected against potential threats.

Software Recommendations Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for people seeking specific software recommendations. It only takes a minute to sign up.
For network analysis of an Android app, there's a couple of ways you could go.
One option (assuming that it's HTTP traffic) would be just to use Burp Proxy as you do for desktop applications.
Another option might be to use a dedicated Android assessment tool like Drozer from MWR.
More details would be better - and a recommendation as to which you think is best would be nice too. – Nick Dickinson-Wilde Apr 20 '14 at 19:43
Unfortunately the question is kind of vague, which kind of forced the vagueness of my answer. Drozer and Burp don't really cover the exactly the same territory. If it's software vulns in Android applications I'd recommend Drozer, if it's looking at HTTP calls from the application to a server I'd recommend Burp. – Rory McCune Apr 21 '14 at 12:11

whether provisions relating to use of depersonalised data are appropriate.
The ALRC made submissions with respect to aspects of these reforms at other stages. First, there was the submission to the Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Public Administration in July 2010, with respect to the Australian Privacy Principles Exposure Draft and Companion Guide. Secondly, the ALRC made a submission in March 2011 to the Senate Finance and Public Administration Legislation Committee Inquiry into the Exposure Drafts of Australian Privacy Amendment Legislation, Part 2—Credit Reporting. Thirdly, the ALRC made a submission in October 2010 to the Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs’ inquiry into the Telecommunications Interception and Intelligence Services Legislation Amendment Bill 2010. A copy of each of these submissions is attached to this letter and forms part of the comments provided to the Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs in the present inquiry. In this submission I provide some additional comments in relation to the APPs and the use of depersonalised data.
Section 16A includes in table form those situations where the collection, use or disclosure of personal information is permitted by an ‘APP entity’ in the circumstances designated in the table. The inclusion in table form is consistent with Recommendation 33–1 of For Your Information that the exemptions for certain categories of agencies, organisations and entities or types of acts and practices be grouped together in a separate part of the Act and Recommendation 33–2 that exemptions for specific, named agencies, organisations and entities should be set out in a schedule.
The tabular form is a neat condensation of the core principles, but may need supporting information or notes, or a reconsideration of its location, to make it accessible to the general reader, as they sit apart from the Privacy Principles themselves. The ALRC recommended in Recommendation 18–1 that the privacy principles should be ‘simple, clear and easy to understand and apply’ and the presentation of the exemptions in s 16A, while the principles are in Schedule 1, may be at odds with this.
The ALRC advocated a two-pronged approach: that specific, named entities that are exempt from the Act should be set out in a schedule, clearly setting out the scope of any such exemption; and that exemptions for certain categories of entities or types of acts and practices should be grouped together. The object was to increase the accessibility and clarity of the exemption provisions. However the ALRC rejected the approach of locating exemptions within the principles themselves:
33.75 … The alternative approach, of locating partial or full exemptions within specific privacy principles, has the potential to render the principles overly complex and unwieldy. Since all of the exemptions relate to specific functions or activities of an agency or organisation, rather than categories of information, locating exemptions within the definition of ‘personal information’ also would not be appropriate.
Item 7 of the table in s 16A refers expressly to defence. As the Explanatory Memorandum notes (at p 69), this is intended ‘to clarify the circumstances where the collection of sensitive information may occur without consent outside Australia, and where personal information generally may be disclosed to an overseas recipient’.
Chapter 34 of For Your Information concerned intelligence and defence intelligence agencies. The ALRC concluded that the exemptions that applied to under the Privacy Act should remain, as their central function was the covert collection and assessment of intelligence information. The ALRC rejected the approach advocated by some stakeholders that should be subject to exceptions to specific privacy principles, rather than exempt from the operation of the Privacy Act.
34.109 … All already are subject to privacy rules or guidelines. The ALRC also is recommending that the ambit of these rules and guidelines be extended further to enhance privacy protection. In addition, the internal processes and methods of are subject to a number of oversight and accountability mechanisms, including by the IGIS, the PJCIS and others. In particular, the IGIS has reported that he conducted regular inspections of and actively monitored their adherence to privacy rules and guidelines. Finally, it should be noted that the OPC would have difficulties investigating or auditing the activities of because it lacks the appropriate powers, infrastructure and security clearances to do so. For these reasons, it is not necessary to alter the scope of the exemption that applies to under the Privacy Act.
The new exception is one for the ‘Defence force’, which is wider than the focus of the ALRC recommendations, and the activities described in Column 3 appear considerably broader than the covert intelligence-gathering context of the discussion in Chapter 34. I note further in this respect that ‘Defence force’ is defined in s 6(1) to include the Australian Navy Cadets, the Australian Army Cadets and the Australian Air Force Cadets, which opens the exception up far beyond the ALRC’s recommendations.
Item 4 of the table in s 16A includes a similar provision in relation to the collection, use or disclosure of information where ‘reasonably necessary’ for the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal or equitable claim. In Chapter 44 of For Your Information the ALRC noted the ‘clear public policy interests in individuals being able to establish, pursue and defend legal rights’ and that one way of recognising this in the privacy context was through an exception to the ‘use and disclosure’ principle along the lines of s 35(2) of the Data Protection Act (UK). The ALRC concluded against making a recommendation of this kind.
44.45 It is not apparent, however, that adding an exception to this effect would substantially improve the position of intending litigants. To fulfil the requirements of the exception, an agency or organisation must be satisfied that disclosing the information is ‘necessary’ for the above purposes. This requirement will be very difficult to meet in the absence of a court order. Furthermore, the provision functions only as an exception to permit the disclosure of information—it does not compel disclosure by an agency or organisation.
44.46 The United Kingdom Information Commissioner’s Office has issued legal guidance on the Data Protection Act, which confirms that a data controller is not obliged to disclose personal data following a request by a third party, despite the existence of the exception for the purposes of establishing, exercising or defending legal rights. It advises:
In many cases, the data controller will not be in a position to make a decision as to whether the necessity test can be met, or will not wish to make the disclosure because of his relationship with the data subject, with the result that the requesting party will have to rely upon a Court order to obtain the information.
44.47 Processes are in place through court orders to obtain information in the course of establishing, exercising or defending legal rights. Court processes also have well established rules to prevent abuse by the parties. For example, an employer may request another organisation with which it has a business relationship to provide information on an employee’s purchasing activities to see if the employee is misappropriating funds. Without some evidence that misappropriation was, in fact, occurring, courts would consider this to be a ‘fishing expedition’ and, therefore, impermissible. This safeguard potentially could be bypassed through an exception to the ‘Use and Disclosure’ principle for the purpose of pursuing a legal claim.
44.48 Judicial discretion also plays an integral role in court orders for discovery against third parties. That is, for each application, the requirements of justice to the applicant will be balanced against the respondent’s justification for non-disclosure. Commentators have noted that this discretion provides ‘an appropriate brake on any excesses in the use of the Order’. Indeed, it has been questioned whether an agency should ever disclose personal information, except on the order of a court.
44.49 The ALRC acknowledges the potential drawbacks to requiring an individual to commence court proceedings in order to obtain personal information that he or she needs in order to establish, pursue or defend his or her legal rights. In particular—depending upon the court in which proceedings are commenced—this can be both costly and time-consuming. Court orders made in accordance with established rules, however, are the most authoritative way to secure disclosure. In light of the potential for abuse, as well as its likely limited usefulness, the ALRC does not recommend the introduction of a new exception or exemption from the Privacy Act for the purpose of establishing, pursuing and defending legal rights.
Use of depersonalised data
The use of depersonalised data is a matter that is of particular utility in the context of research. The Privacy Act allows researchers to obtain and use personal information for health or medical research, without the consent of the individuals concerned, where approved by a Human Research Ethics Committee.
Chapter 65 of For Your Information focused on research and noted the concerns from researchers in the health and medical field—as well as social scientists, criminologists and others—that an overly cautious approach to the application of the Privacy Act was inhibiting the conduct of research, even where the threat to individual privacy was limited or non-existent and the potential value of the research was very high. For example, epidemiological research can play a very valuable role in planning and promoting public health campaigns and in allocating scarce resources. In such cases, researchers are not concerned with the identity or information of individuals within the sample, but rather are seeking to identify broad trends and patterns in the population.
The ALRC also recognised that there are other forms of research that provide benefits to the community that require access to personal information in situations where it is difficult to obtain consent—such as research on child protection or factors associated with criminal behaviour.
The ALRC recommended that the research exception to the ‘Collection’ and ‘Use and Disclosure’ principles should allow information to be collected, used and disclosed without consent for health and medical research—including in areas other than health and medical research—where a number of conditions were met, including approval by a Human Research Ethics Committee: Recommendations 65–2, 65–3, 65–4.
The Bill includes in s 16B ‘permitted health situations’ in relation to the collection, use or disclosure of health information. While badged in a different way, this provision is similar to existing provisions concerning the collection, use or disclosure of certain health information.
The ALRC recommended that the test for the research exception should be that Human Research Ethics Committees were satisfied that the public interest in the activity outweighs the public interest in maintaining the level of privacy protection under the Privacy Act: Recommendation 65–4. Such Ethics Committees work within the framework of guidelines under ss 95, 95A of the Act. One element is the weighing up of the public interest, which uses the modifier ‘to a substantial degree’ (s 95(2) to maintain consistency with other parts of the Act.
While the research exception is one concerning situations of exception from the APPs, the ALRC’s emphasis was upon ensuring appropriate levels of de-identification (or de-personalisation) of the relevant information:
65.163 It is appropriate to require agencies and organisations that have collected personal information for research purposes to take ‘reasonable steps’ to ensure that it is not possible to identify individuals from their published results. Reasonable steps might include, for example, applying techniques—employed by the ABS and other agencies …—such as data suppression, data rounding and category collapsing. While these techniques minimise the risk that individuals will be identifiable, it is not always possible to ensure absolutely that no-one will be able to identify individual involved. In these circumstances, it would be inappropriate to impose absolute liability on agencies and organisations to ensure that information is not disclosed in an identifiable form.
65.164 It is also appropriate to impose a requirement that agencies and organisations ‘reasonably believe’ that the recipient of the personal information will not disclose the information in an identifiable form. Where agencies and organisations are not, themselves, in control of personal information because it has been disclosed to a researcher for use in a research project, for example, it is not possible for those agencies and organisations to ensure absolutely that the researcher will handle the information appropriately. On the other hand, the agency or organisation should be required to have a reasonable belief that this will occur. A ‘reasonable belief’ cannot be without foundation, and the agency or organisation would have to be able to indicate those factors that provided the basis for the belief—for example: the good reputation and past best practices of the researcher; and the arrangements put in place between the agency or organisation and the researcher to ensure that the information was handled appropriately.
The ALRC recommended therefore in Recommendation 65–8 that the collection of personal information for research purposes should be permissible provided that, in addition to the matters broadly captured in s 16B of the Bill,
Where an agency or organisation collects personal information about an individual under this exception, it must take reasonable steps to ensure that the information is not disclosed in a form that would identify the individual or from which the individual would be reasonably identifiable.
While such matters may be covered in the Guidelines under ss 95 and 95A, given the importance of the provision as an exception to the APPs, an express statement about protection of information through de-identification may give the appropriate signal about the constraints on the use of the data.

Ever since the financial downturn of 2007 and 2008, greater scrutiny and tighter regulations have caused the world of finance to shift in both attention and practice. Risk management is now much more central to how financial firms and investment companies conduct business. Not only are more resources and time being allocated to managing risk but companies’ agendas are reflecting the need for more mitigation of risk. The result has been a boom in risk management technologies, practices, techniques and services.
Working within the field of finance has never been more complex. From increasingly complicated regulations and financial metrics to the impending approach of some kind of cyberattack, good and thoughtful risk management can mean the difference between staying in business and going to jail. Here is a closer look at the ways financial firms are beefing up their risk management profiles and practices.
Operational Risk
An operational risk is any risk resulting from a business’s own internal activities, culture and behavior. In the realm of risk management, managing a firm’s operational risk is accomplished by paying attention to the people, systems and processes dictating the way a company operates. The level of operational risk at which an organization operates is directly tied to the inadequacies and failures its own employees and systems exhibit.
All organizations realize their employees and processes are imperfect and bound to incur mistakes. What operational risk management provides is a means and a measure to ensure the level of mistakes never rises above what is tolerable; it prevents situations where too much money is lost, customer relations are irreparably harmed or laws are broken.
Systemic risk refers to the risk of collapse for an entire financial system or market, as opposed to the risk being taken and leveraged by an individual firm or group. It refers broadly to the stability or instability of an entire financial system.
For those tasked with systemic risk management, it refers to all the components composing the interdependencies of a system or market where the collapse or failure of one piece could undo the rest, causing a cascading failure or overall market crash.
More and more, the threat of a cyberattack must be included in any financial firm’s risk management protocol. Too many companies are still far too underprepared and under-protected, even as organizations like the Risk and Insurance Management Society (RIMS) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continue to stress the need for greater protections and attention regarding cyber risk. Many companies and boards seem content to assume their IT departments provide sufficient protection, but few regulatory filings even mention what a firm or company is doing to mitigate the threat. Risk management responsibilities apply here as much as anywhere else, and while much of the financial world seems reluctant to adequately apply themselves in this arena of managing risk, the next few years are likely to see a sizable increase in spending and effort to combat it.
Risk management has never played as large a role in the world of finance as it does today. As regulators try to ensure the world’s markets avoid another recession — or worse — skilled risk managers and risk management techniques are essential to both the solvency of financial firms and the ongoing stability of the marketplace — both in the U.S. and around the world.

Nothing's Certain, Except Death, Taxes... & Phishing
Recent phishing attacks could mean that a tax bill is the least of your government revenue issues.
"But in this world, nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." – Benjamin Franklin
Many businesses and their employees recently fell victim to a very successful spear-phishing attack that duped an unsuspecting employee into sending the company's W-2s to a company executive, who emailed the employee and asked for the W-2s to address a "financial emergency." Instead, the email was a spear-phishing attack, with all the employees' W-2s going directly into the hands of the attacker or attackers, who now have the names, addresses, Social Security Numbers (SSN), wages and tax information for all of the company's employees -- a treasure trove of information that coud lead to false tax claims, identity theft and other financial catastrophes.
But, the IRS began warning accountants and tax professionals in January that they, too, were under attack by hackers, and not with just one scam, but at least two.
In the first scam, an received an email from a prospective client -- really the attacker -- stating that they were looking to hire someone to prepare their personal or business taxes. The attacker might use the name of a friend or associate, who has also been hacked, as a reference in their email, to avoid suspicion and ease the mind of the .
The attacker would include a link to a website, or an Adobe Acrobat or other file attachment with an embedded link, claiming that the link led to their financial information. Once pro clicked the link, the website would pilfer the accountant's or tax pro's email address, user name, password and likely much more.
The attackers begin the cycle all over again by sending out another phishing email to the clients of the they initially attacked. After stealing their email address, the attacker asks for the clients to click on a link in the email or on an attachment to re-enter their financial information or their user name and password for the hacked accountant’s or tax pro’s online software or website. When a client falls for this phishing attack, their information wis pinched, and it's likely their tax return will end up being claimed by the attacker.
Yet another phishing attack forced the Internal Revenue Service to send yet another alert out to accountants and tax professionals. In this attack, the attackers sent an email to an indicating that they have been locked out of their tax preparation software due to "security issues."
Under tight deadlines and tremendous pressure, this is the last thing the needed to see! The phishing email included a link that would supposedly unlock the software for pro. Desperate to ensure that their tax preparation software was secure and accessible, the would click on the link provided with no questions asked or without any suspicion.
Unfortunately, the link led to a phishing website requesting the accountant's or tax professional's user name and password for the tax preparation software, so that the software could be unlocked. Upon entering their user name and password, the attacker would have all the information needed to break into the tax preparation software and steal the financial and tax information for all the accountant's or tax pro's clients!
Of course, tax phishing scams are not just limited to the United States. In Canada, for instance, attackers have been sending phishing emails posing as the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), informing the recipient of the email that, due to a recalculation of their taxes from the prior year, they are either due a refund, or should be receiving more in their tax return. The link in the email leads to a bogus website in which the user is asked to re-enter their personal and financial data, including, in some cases, their user name, passwords and to even answer questions like their mother's maiden name. This data is then used by the attackers to access the user's tax refund, to access their finances and bank accounts, and to rob them.
In Australia, attackers pose as the Australian Tax Office (ATO), sending the unsuspecting recipient what they may believe is an email to access their next Online Activity Statement, or may dupe them into believing that they are due a refund or an additional amount in their tax refund, that they owe additional taxes, or to reconfirm or update their tax file number. If the user clicks on the link in the email and provides their personal and financial information, their accounts are pillaged and personal information is quickly posted for sale on the Dark Web.
The United Kingdom is not immune to these phishing attacks, either. The phishers send unsuspecting users a "tax refund notification" email, posing as Her Majesty's Revenue & Customs (HMRC), with a link to a false webpage so that they may enter their banking information, so that their phony "tax refund" may be deposited for them automatically. Only the poor user doesn't get a tax refund but, instead, loses their hard-earned money to the unscrupulous phishing attacker.
Having personally received a spear phishing email several years ago claiming to be from the IRS, signed by a supposed IRS agent, but with several misspellings and grammatical issues as well as an outdated IRS logo on the "official" email letterhead -– in addition to being "vished" by several calls and "smished" by a few SMS texts from the "Internal Revenue System" to my cellphone, all with a Washington, DC area code (202) and with a caller ID of "I.R.S.," all threatening me with arrest if my credit card number wasn't provided for payment of my supposed back taxes –- it becomes quickly clear that, if the person receiving the threatening emails, calls and texts is not in or familiar with cybersecurity, they can easily be fooled and feel threatened to immediately turn over their personal or financial information.
So, what can be done to halt these attacks on accountants and tax professionals, and, ultimately, you and your organization's tax and financial data?
In the US, IRS and other international tax agencies try to emphasize to taxpayers that they will not typically initiate contact via email or text message requesting personal or financial information. Taxpayers and tax professionals alike should never open an attachment or link from an unknown or suspicious source and should be aware of email messages with misspellings and awkward grammatical structure. Still, there needs to be other, stronger, fail-safe measures to ensure tax professional and taxpayer security.
Existing email security software may catch some of these phishing attacks, but it's unlikely, based on their own capture statistics, that they will catch sophisticated phishing attacks. And, it takes only one, single, successful phishing attack to gain access to the tax, financial and even personal information for every client that an has, ruining their reputation and possibly destroying a business that took years to create.
The only way to ensure that all email-based phishing attacks are stopped before they can happen is with isolation.
Isolating all web access ensures that all email-based phishing attacks requiring users to click on a link to initiate an attack won't be successful. That's because, once the user clicks on the link in the phishing email or attachment, their web access is isolated; the selected web page is executed in the isolation platform; the web page proxied; and only a safe, clean, malware-free web page is returned to and rendered for the user. Some isolation platforms can even eliminate credential theft by allowing websites to be rendered in read-only mode, preventing users from entering their name, password or any other sensitive information into a web form.
So, if you have deployed isolation for the you support, then you can be assured that phishing attacks targeting their sensitive financial data and their customers' tax information will be stopped cold, maintaining their customers' financial security and the reputation and integrity of their business. But, if you haven't, you might want to do at least an informal security audit before you have them file your taxes.

Australian Government launches new $1.67b cyber security strategy
The Australian Government is investing $1.67 billion in its 2020 cyber security strategy which it says will protect and strengthen the security and resilience of Australia’s critical infrastructure, and ensure law enforcement agencies have the powers and technical capabilities to detect, target, investigate and disrupt cyber crime – including on the dark Web. | https://www.itwire.com/freelancer-sp-720/tag/Cybercrime.feed?start=0 |
LAS VEGAS—The Facebook-led Open Compute Project has spent the past year building an “open” switch that can boot nearly any type of networking software, giving customers more alternatives to proprietary switch vendors like Cisco.
Intel, Broadcom, Mellanox, and Cumulus Networks jumped on board last November, contributing specifications and software that will bring the project closer to a finished design. They weren’t alone, though: Software-defined networking vendor Big Switch Networks, in January, donated what it calls Open Network Linux (ONL) to the project.
In an interview with Ars at this week’s Interop conference in Las Vegas, newly appointed Big Switch CEO Douglas Murray explained the company’s reasons for getting involved. As Big Switch noted in its announcement, ONL is “the Linux distribution for bare metal switches that runs underneath our commercial Switch Light OS. ONL’s goal is to give people deploying OCP [Open Compute Project] switches a simplified experience with a standard Linux distribution that comes prepackaged with all of the relevant drivers, loaders, and platform-independent goodness. If ONL is successful and becomes a popular distribution for open network hardware, it will also mean less integration work for hardware and software vendors and thus fewer bugs and other surprises once ONL-based products get to end customers. ”Big Switch CEO Douglas Murray. Big Switch Networks
A lot of "rudimentary work" goes into setting up switch software, Murray noted. Each time Big Switch gets its own Switch Light OS ready for new hardware (typically based on Broadcom chips), “there’s a bunch of stuff we have to do. It’s like rinse and repeat, rinse and repeat, but it takes time. So we actually took that element, packaged it into something called Open Network Linux, and donated it to OCP. We think it will get people to be able to move to bare metal faster because it streamlines the time it takes to do bring-up of a bare metal switch, and it also allows people to expand their hardware compatibility list more rapidly.”
Companies could create their own switch software to run on top of ONL, he said. “If you’re another vendor, even an incumbent, you could use that to accelerate how quickly you can get a product to market,” he said.
ONL received patches and contributions from other vendors, including Cumulus Networks, one of Big Switch’s rivals.
“We’ve seen great support not only from OCP but from Broadcom, from… ODM [original design manufacturing] vendors like Accton and Quanta, they’re now on board with this. They’re helping and participating in the donation now on top of what Big Switch put in,” he said. “We think it will help get more broad adoption of bare metal overall.”
The Open Compute Project's blog said last week that its planned top-of-rack switch is closer to reality in part because of contributions of Cumulus and Big Switch. There's still work to do, though: "The contributions from Cumulus and Big Switch provide a software foundation, but in order for the OCP switch to actually forward packets, we still need forwarding software on top of the hardware switch itself," the project noted.
There's already one available switch from Interface Masters based on Broadcom's proposed Open Compute specification, and ONL will be available for that switch. Any bare metal switch that supports the Open Network Install Environment contributed by Cumulus will run ONL.
The Open Compute Project was dealt a blow recently when its visionary, Facebook’s Frank Frankovsky, left to build an optical storage startup. Open Compute will live on under people such as Najam Ahmad, who runs Facebook's network engineering team and leads the Open Compute Project's network program. The project still has support from a variety of vendors, too. At Interop this week, Emulex announced converged network adapters for Open Compute hardware.
Switching gears
Still, Big Switch hasn’t reached the heights of success it expected when it was founded in 2010. The company shifted strategy in response, Network World’s Jim Duffy wrote last September. Big Switch “killed the first release of its Big Virtual Switch application and is now focusing on SDNs [software-defined networks] that merge the physical and virtual worlds,” Duffy wrote. “Big Switch is also now offering its products in bundles that run on commodity bare metal switches rather than piecemeal controller and monitoring and network virtualization applications that run on switches from ecosystem partners.”
Big Switch “also left the OpenDaylight open source SDN consortium and saw six of its partners—Juniper, Arista, and Brocade among them—jump ship as the company undertook this transformation over the past year.” Big Switch co-founder Kyle Forster said his company's “new focus on bare metal hardware was ‘at odds’ with its now former switch partners.”
Big Switch, which has raised $45 million from investors, sells the aforementioned Switch Light OS and software that controls the switches from a central management point. Its products implement the OpenFlow networking protocol and have plugins to connect to the OpenStack infrastructure-as-a-service software.
Big Switch’s customers number in the “double digits,” with paid deployments from $25,000 to one customer that uses Big Switch software, in 13 data centers, at a cost of about $100,000 for each data center, Murray said.
Customers have plenty of options. Cisco just revealed the OpFlex protocol, an alternative to OpenFlow, and Dell teamed with Cumulus Networks to sell switches with Cumulus’ Linux network operating system.
Despite Dell’s partnership with Cumulus, Murray is impressed with the company’s work. “The only incumbent vendor moving away from proprietary hardware is Dell,” he said.
Bare-metal hardware is important, as it lets users change vendors without abandoning hardware, simply by removing software and replacing it with an alternative, Murray said.
“Companies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon, what they’re doing is taking bare metal switches, writing their own software onto those switches, and as they write that software, they are customizing it to their applications,” he said. “In large part what we’re trying to do is take what Facebook is doing and what Google is doing and bring that to every other data center.” | http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/04/open-network-linux-could-boost-viability-of-bare-metal-switches/?comments=1&post=26581955 |

You’ve had the same password for years and it’s a combination of letters only you would figure out. It has you feeling like nobody else can ever guess your password, right? Wrong! Hackers and identity thieves ALWAYS figure out how to get to someone’s personal data.
What is identity theft? Well according to ActionFraud, Identity Theft “happens when fraudsters access enough information about someone’s identity (such as their name, date of birth, current or previous addresses) to commit identity fraud. Identity theft can take place whether the fraud victim is alive or deceased.
If you’re a victim of identity theft, it can lead to fraud that can have a direct impact on your personal finances and could also make it difficult for you to obtain loans, credit cards or a mortgage until the matter is resolved”.
How crazy is that? Imagine all your life’s hard work gone in a matter of seconds! Depressing and so cruel.
To protect yourself from identity theft, especially online, there’s a few things you can do. First, you can change your password ever so often, just be sure to actually remember it. Some people’s passwords are almost too easy to guess.
For example, you may really love strawberries. You may have a strawberry coloured car, a strawberry decorated phone cover, you always post pictures of something strawberry inspired on your Instagram. Hell, you may only drink Strawberry Lips! How do you not expect someone to consider the “strawberry” word as your password for any of your financial accounts? Bad luck for you if it actually is your password. All we’re saying is hackers can put pieces together of your life and almost have a good guess at your password.
Secondly monitor your content on your accounts. If something looks fishy, change your password or shut it down. It could be hacked.
If you’re always shopping online, make sure you’re browsing on a secure site that is recommended. Most fraudsters use these mediums to obtain information from you and steal your identity.
When they get this information they can use it to open bank accounts and obtain loans in your name. They can even directly transfer money from your account to another online, never having to step inside an actual banking hall once. This may affect you by making it hard to obtain loans and credit with your real account when you apply for one.
Identity theft is in categories
When it comes to social media, they can act as you (impersonation), and access all your profile information, update your statuses, basically just cause drama you would not do yourself.
If you ever get messages,emails or calls from people asking for details like passwords, be very careful. Even if they claim to be coming from places where you do business, just get in touch with someone else you know from there and find out what the problem is. Never ever give out your password. | https://www.techtrends.co.zm/identity-theft-steal/ |
1) Make sure your Windows Operating System is up to date with latest service pack Windows 7 (SP1), latest build of Windows 8 and Windows 10.
2) Make sure your antivirus software is fully updated and latest version (2017).
3) Firewall built into windows is good enough, plus Trend Micro has a firewall booster which boots up your firewall :-).
4) Make sure you run Microsoft Update on a regular basis. Even though it does checks for updates automatically.
5) Make sure to keep all of other programs such as flash, java, and etc updated. Flash has a built in updater to help keep it updated. Also make sure all of your other program that you use are kept updated such as Adobe Reader, google chrome, Firefox, and etc.
6) Install other anti spyware programs such as Malwarebytes anti malware and keep it up to date.
7) Do a weekly scan with all of your antivirus and antispyware program to prevent further damage from malware.
8) Don't use any random disk optimizer, disk cleaner, CCleaner, and other programs to clean or optimize your computer (unless you are a computer expert) it will damage your computer. I got a first hand experience using those programs.
9) Only download programs from trusted sources/official website and download.com.
Note: Downloading programs from download.com and from official trusted website. They can contain additional/optional program for you to install. They include those optional programs just to sponsor them. Make sure you don't install those programs and uncheck them so they don't get installed, unless you need it for such importance.
10) Don't use peer-to-peer programs to download programs, because it can cause harm to your computer. They contain malware and be pirated.
11) Overall, use common sense "if its too good to be true, then it's not true."
Good luck to you. Hope your computer gets fixed.

We’ve written about how the security vulnerabilities of SaaS applications are not fully appreciated, even by IT professionals. Imagine now trying to persuade a layman that there’s been a data breach through an organization’s commonly used SaaS app. Imagine further that the people sounding the alarm are a couple of high school students. Do you think the message is going to get through?
If you answered “nope,” you’re right. As a result, sensitive information regarding New York City’s public schools remained exposed for months – until the students raised the issue again.
That’s the story reported recently by Chalkbeat, a publication focused on educational matters. The students, from Brooklyn Tech High School, discovered in August 2020 that the Google Drive the district used to store records was not properly configured to prevent access to records that should have remained private. Initially, the visible documents were nothing particularly sensitive – sign-up sheets for parent-teacher conferences, second graders’ classwork, and college recommendation letters.
After they presented their findings to an administrator, they thought the matter was settled. But they checked again the following March, only to discover that now they could see such documents as records of teacher Social Security Numbers, phone numbers, addresses and pay information. They finally got action when they reached one of the teachers and said, “I have your Social Security Number.”
That prompted the district administration to wake up and take action, but not before exposing the personal information of some 3,000 students and 100 employees.
What went wrong?
Technically, this is not a complicated issue. The Google Drive that was vulnerable had not been configured properly to limit access. Eventually, the district curtailed access to the documents that shouldn’t have been visible to begin with.
Still, Google Drive doesn’t provide the flexibility that school administrators or any other users would want in terms of providing access to files. There are three choices: make them public, make them accessible to those with a link, or restrict access to selected individuals. An administrator might want to share files with one department, such as the HR department that would need to keep track of employee information, but not teachers or students. Or they might want to share with an identified group, such as the second-grade parents looking for those sign-up sheets. Google Drive doesn’t provide that granularity or flexibility that we have said is a limitation of the controls of many SaaS applications.
With so few options, it would hardly be shocking if a similar situation arises again, given the limited options available in Drive and similar, widely used applications.
A better approach
No SaaS administrators, security personnel or IT administrators should rely on notification from high school students – or users of any sort – to become informed of a breach. That should be an automated message, driven by a platform with enough sophistication to quickly determine the vulnerability and shut it down quickly. On the flip side, the security measures should not be so strict as to prevent normal business operations, including sanctioned collaboration via sanctioned SaaS applications. That is, policies should be readily available to balance the need for protection and the normal, expected flow of information.
And given that rarely does an organization rely on just a single SaaS application these days, the platform monitoring and remediating such threats should be able to watch all the apps at once and allow administrators to remove unwanted access across one or more apps in open single action.
Guess what? Just such a platform exists today: the DoControl platform. We’ll be happy to give you a demo – there are no prerequisites for this class! | https://www.docontrol.io/blog/data-breach-in-nyc-schools-highlights-the-need-for-refined-data-access-to-common-saas-applications |
Except that introduces changes to browser’s home page and new tab page, it also replaces your search engine, which leads to the fact that use of the browser’s search becomes uncomfortable. The reason for this is that the search results will consist of a large count of ads, links to undesired and ad web-pages and only the remaining part is search results for your query from well-known search engines like Google or Bing.
Also, ‘ad-supported’ software (also known as adware) can be installed on the PC system together with Watch News Now hijacker. It will insert tons of advertisements directly to the web-pages that you view, creating a sense that advertisements has been added by the authors of the website. Moreover, legal ads can be replaced on fake ads which will offer to download and install various unnecessary and harmful apps. Moreover, browser hijacker infection can gather personal information which may be later used for marketing purposes.
We recommend you to free your machine of browser hijacker immediately. Use the guide below that will assist to delete Watch News Now search and adware, which can be installed onto your computer along with it.
First, press Windows button , then click Search . Type ‘Control panel’and press Enter as displayed in the figure below.
Once the ‘Control Panel’ opens, click the ‘Uninstall a program’ link under Programs category as shown in the figure below.
You will see the ‘Uninstall a program’ panel as displayed on the screen below.
Very carefully look around the entire list of software installed on your personal computer. Most likely, one of them is browser hijacker infection and other internet browser’s malicious add-ons. If you have many programs installed, you can help simplify the search of malicious apps by sort the list by date of installation. Once you have found a suspicious, unwanted or unused program, right click to it, after that click ‘Uninstall’.
Windows XP, Vista, 7
First, press ‘Start’ button and select ‘Control Panel’ at right panel like below.
When the Windows ‘Control Panel’ opens, you need to click ‘Uninstall a program’ under ‘Programs’ as displayed in the following example.
You will see a list of apps installed on your computer. We recommend to sort the list by date of installation to quickly find the software that were installed last. Most probably, it is the hijacker which alters web browser settings to replace your search provider, newtab page and homepage with Watch News Now web page. If you’re in doubt, you can always check the program by doing a search for her name in Google, Yahoo or Bing. Once the program which you need to delete is found, simply click on its name, and then press ‘Uninstall’ as on the image below.
Remove Watch News Now from Chrome
Like other modern browsers, the Google Chrome has the ability to reset the settings to their default values and thereby restore the web-browser newtab page, search engine and start page that have been replaced by browser hijacker infection.
First start the Google Chrome and click Menu button (small button in the form of three dots).
It will display the Google Chrome main menu. Select More Tools, then click Extensions.
You’ll see the list of installed extensions. If the list has the extension labeled with “Installed by enterprise policy” or “Installed by your administrator”, then complete the following guidance: Remove Chrome extensions installed by enterprise policy.
Now open the Chrome menu once again, click the “Settings” menu.
You will see the Google Chrome’s settings page. Scroll down and click “Advanced” link.
Scroll down again and click the “Reset” button.

My job has changed a lot over the past few years, and it just keeps getting better.
Throughout my career, I’ve had numerous conversations with airline executives about the benefits of making operational change happen for their organizations, and many discussions about the tools and technology requirements to make such visions a reality. Since Seabury Consulting became part of Accenture four years ago, I’ve noticed the tone of these conversations have evolved as we are now able to directly offer clients the technology which will bring those dreams to life.
Our conversations have shifted over the last year, that’s for sure. Airlines have been forced to evolve their operations, and now that the travel industry is starting its journey back to growth, there are companies that are literally restarting from scratch. We’ve seen some airlines putting the brakes on certain parts of their operating processes, and others going full steam ahead to automate them as much as possible.
It’s this environment of constant challenge that has made building a long-term strategy particularly difficult for airlines. And as the industry is starting to dip its toes into the journey back to growth, it’s becoming clearer which of the operational changes that came about as a result of the pandemic are likely to become permanent.
We’re all in this together
Post-pandemic, all travel companies have to address ramping up operations with a smaller workforce, and one that has never been naturally agile. Many operating jobs in the travel industry have long tenure, and workers may find reskilling difficult.
Legacy technology is also a clear barrier to a full operations transformation in this industry, an obstacle that might seem even more insurmountable with reduced revenue and a depleted workforce.
Intelligent Operations is all about employing data and tools in a way that makes it as easy as possible to augment what a human does. To enable people to focus on tasks that add more value, and that provide the human touch which is vital to a business that has people at its center. But us humans are complex individuals, so this is not a quick or easy ask.
As airlines start to get back to growth, a key part of the operational process will be focused on ensuring that airlines have the right people in the right place at the right time to ensure that customers are being serviced, disruptions are being dealt with, and revenue is being captured.
Disruption avoidance, management and recovery. Any disruption, no matter how big or small can have a knock-on effect throughout the day and across the network. This could be anything from a problem related to aircraft maintenance, to a sudden change with border controls which means that certain passengers aren’t able to fly anymore. Having data in one place and accessible via one overarching tool is what will enable the airline to mitigate for any knock-on effects and predict for the future.
Labor processes, planning and optimization. By forecasting demand and optimizing operations in a way that streamlines work for crew, ground handling, mechanics and more, the workforce becomes more efficient, and the experience offered to customers can be greatly improved. Imagine for example that your staff didn’t have to check so many travel documents and COVID entry requirements prior to take off. That this process was automated to such an extent that they could spend the time offering assistance to the travelers who most need it, or providing a top notch service to their highest value customers. This is what I mean by providing that human touch and is more important than ever as travelers rebuild their confidence and take to the skies once more.
Revenue management intelligence. We’re at a tricky time in the industry. Airlines have consistently used historical data to predict future travel patterns. But data from the past twelve months certainly won’t help airlines to predict the twelve coming up. The key to solving this problem involves analyzing data around internal demand patterns and combining this with external predictors to give airlines the best possible chance of predicting the return of demand. Can we use hotel bookings to predict flight routes? Or information around events to estimate when big demand peaks might occur? Data will be key to achieving a revenue premium and delivering personalized offers that capture demand wherever and whenever it can be found.
Centralized data combined with strong external sources. Key to a solid strategy is ensuring that all of your data is combined into one place and treated as a single source of truth that all parts of the organization can trust. By augmenting this with third party data you’ll vastly improve your organization’s ability to make decisions and take action. Just imagine how accessing internet search data could influence your marketing activities, and ride share availability and location information could improve your customer experience. Combined, this will provide you with real time access to the data at the right level of granularity and will allow you to perform analytics on the finer details as well as providing you with a holistic overview.
A strong analytics suite and a killer team of analysts. The saying goes that when it comes to data, you only get out what you put in. But the way you get to that final output is also incredibly important. You need to ensure that across the business you are using the relevant tools to analyze the data collected, and your team needs to be on point to extract the most amount of value from all insights gained. This is not just about hiring a set of Data Scientists and letting them tackle the problems that they find interesting, it is more about building curiosity, data understanding, and analytics into the organization’s culture so that your entire team is working to continually optimize. Defining the target skills and identifying the required training to ensure that teams are up to date with the knowledge and vision required.
The ability to operationalize the process. Once the tools and the team are in place, the final step is to ensure that this process is truly embedded in day-to-day operations. To extract full value from data and build a truly intelligent enterprise requires a disciplined process that is built to last. One off analytics are great and can create value, but if data and analytics can be instilled, and ultimately automated into a process, it frees up employees' time to focus on the next problem to be solved or to deliver true customer service
By focusing on anticipating demand across these three key areas, and building a data strategy as mentioned above, airlines can move towards becoming a business which serves the customer rather than simply a brand which provides a service.
At a very basic level, Intelligent Operations is about how operational transformation can allow the aviation industry to provide a better service for customers as well as a better experience for employees - the very same people that are central to both its ideation and implementation.
This level of operational change has to come from the top, and should be cascaded from the CEO across the whole business. In fact, what I’m seeing from conversations with airline executives over the past year is that many travel companies are already making changes to their reporting structures in response to this, with CIOs and CDOs being recognized as business people first, technologists second.
There really is some great stuff going on in the industry, and many of our aviation clients are doing great things already, but they need to combine all of the above to reach true transformation and achieve the 20% profit transformation that is attainable when intelligent travel operations is rolled out across the business. This may seem like a huge number, but I am confident that the potential is there. | https://www.accenture.com/us-en/blogs/compass-travel-blog/airline-growth-acceleration |
In full consideration of your data security, user authentication and transport layer security (TLS) connection are now officially available in Milvus 2.1. Without user authentication, anyone can access all data in your vector database with SDK. However, starting from Milvus 2.1, only those with a valid username and password can access the Milvus vector database. In addition, in Milvus 2.1 data security is further protected by TLS, which ensures secure communications in a computer network.
This article aims to analyze how Milvus, the vector database ensures data security with user authentication and TLS connection and explain how you can utilize these two features as a user who wants to ensure data security when using the vector database.
All gRPC requests are handled by the Milvus proxy; hence authentication is completed by the proxy. The workflow of logging in with the credentials to connect to the Milvus instance is as follows.
Create credentials for each Milvus instance, and the encrypted passwords are stored in etcd. Milvus uses bcrypt for encryption as it implements Provos and Mazières’s adaptive hashing algorithm.
On the client side, SDK sends ciphertext when connecting to the Milvus service. The base64 ciphertext (<username>:<password>) is attached to the metadata with the key authorization.
The Milvus proxy intercepts the request and verifies the credentials.
Credentials are cached locally in the proxy.
..Root coord is in charge of the credentials when insert, query, and delete APIs are called.
When you update the credentials because you forget the password, for instance, the new password is persisted in, etcd. Then all the old credentials in the proxy’s local cache are invalidated.
The authentication interceptor looks for the records from local cache first. If the credentials in the cache is not correct, the RPC call to fetch the most updated record from root coord will be triggered. And the credentials in the local cache are updated accordingly.

I recently updated my 'Malwarebytes Anti-Malware' program and since then I've been getting a log report come up about 5/10mins after starting my computer telling me it stopped a threat called cdn.zeusclicks.com. When scanning my computer with either 'Malwarebytes Anti-Malware' or 'AVG' it doesn't come up with anything. Also I've noticed that my AVG firewall is stopped when first starting my computer up, which I immediately fix.
I've researched what it is and it seems as though it attacks browsers to steal banking information. I've called my bank to stop any transactions happening until I get this fixed. I've pasted in the daily protection log from Malwarebytes Anti-Malware:

Peculiarities Uses valid signature, checks for security software, spawns new services, communicates with Command & Control server, etc.
Termination Use security software that can recognize the threat, such as Reimage (detected as TR/AD.ClopRansom.uxgju based on Avira scan engine)[1]
Ciop ransomware is a sophisticated threat and, unfortunately, is not currently decryptable without backups. However, file recovery might be possible with the help of alternative methods, such as Windows Previous Versions feature or third-party software. Yet, the attempt to retrieve data should only be made after Ciop ransomware removal is performed, otherwise, the compromised system will repeatedly encrypt files.
Once .Ciop file virus enters the machine, it performs a variety of system changes, such as:
All files on each host in the network have been encrypted with a strong algorithm.
Backups were either encrypted or deleted or backup disks were formatted.
Shadow copies either encrypted, so F8 or any other methods may damage encrypted data but not recover.
We exclusively have decryption software for your situation.
According to cybercriminals, they are targeting organizations, rather than regular users, as they are talking about network infection. Nevertheless, studies showed that Ciop does not incorporate means necessary to spread laterally unless hackers break in via the RDP.
Nevertheless, it does not mean that regular users cannot be infected with Ciop file virus. Thus, if you were among the unlucky ones, remove Ciop ransomware from your device using security software. We recommend using ReimageIntego or another AV engine that can recognize the threat. Besides, it was proved that malware might read a variety of information and send it to a remote server
Be aware that paying cybercriminals does not guarantee you the decryptor. As practice shows, some malware authors cannot even decrypt files themselves, and others might simply ignore you and keep your money. Thus, experts[2] advise to stay away from hackers and take care of Ciop ransomware infection without their help.
As we already mentioned, Ciop virus is not decryptable, so only backups would save you from data loss. Nevertheless, you should not lose hope, as there are other methods you can rely on, like third-party tools that might be able to help you retrieve at least some files. Alternatively, security experts might create a decryption tool one day – many other viruses were decoded in such a way (No More Ransom project).[4]
But before that, you need to remove Ciop ransomware from your machine entirely. For that, we suggest you use security software that can recognize the threat (be aware that this malware uses sophisticated obfuscation techniques, so not all AV engines can detect it). In some cases, Ciop ransomware removal will only be possible via the Safe Mode, as the virus might be blocking anti-virus software from functioning. We explain how to do that below. You will also find instructions on how to attempt file recovery with the help of third-party software.
If you failed to fix virus damage using Reimage Intego, submit a question to our support team and provide as much details as possible.
Reimage Intego has a free limited scanner. Reimage Intego offers more through scan when you purchase its full version. When free scanner detects issues, you can fix them using free manual repairs or you can decide to purchase the full version in order to fix them automatically.
Scroll down to pick Update & Security.
On the left side of the window, pick Recovery.
Now scroll down to find Advanced Startup section.
Scroll down to Background processes section, and look for anything suspicious.
Right-click and select Open file location.
We offer Reimage Reimage, Uninstall, Terms and Privacy.
We offer Intego Intego, Uninstall, Terms and Privacy.
Now type rstrui.exe and press Enter again..
When a new window shows up, click Next and select your restore point that is prior the infiltration of Ciop. After doing that, click Next.
Now click Yes to start system restore.
Once you restore your system to a previous date, download and scan your computer with ReimageIntego and make sure that Ciop removal is performed successfully.
Here, check each of available copies of the file in “Folder versions”. You should select the version you want to recover and click “Restore”.
ShadowExplorer might be useful when trying to recover files locked by .Ciop ransomware virus
Most ransomware viruses attempt to delete Shadow Volume copies to complicate the file recovery. If this process fails you have a chance with ShadowExplorer.
Launch the program and go through the drop down menu on the top left corner to select the disk of your encrypted data. Check what folders are there;
Right-click on the folder you want to restore and select “Export”. You can also select where you want it to be stored.
While some files located on any computer are replaceable or useless, others can be extremely valuable. Family photos, work documents, school projects – these are types of files that we don't want to lose. Unfortunately, there are many ways how unexpected data loss can occur: power cuts, Blue Screen of Death errors, hardware failures, crypto-malware attack, or even accidental deletion.
To ensure that all the files remain intact, you should prepare regular data backups. You can choose cloud-based or physical copies you could restore from later in case of a disaster. If your backups were lost as well or you never bothered to prepare any, Data Recovery Pro can be your only hope to retrieve your invaluable files. | https://www.2-spyware.com/remove-ciop-ransomware.html |
Remember last year’s well-publicized leak, which exposed some celebrities’ nude photos? The story not only made some individuals’ day (and probably night), it turned to be a very educating precedent.
For instance, it made many people realize that their pet’s name is not the safest password, and two-factor authentication is not meant exclusively for IT geeks, but for any Swarovski-adorned iPhone owner as well.
The photos, which made quite a noise last year leaked from Apple’s iCloud service where the copies of images made with Apple devices, were stored. Hackers employed the simplest way of breaching the service, using a combination of phishing and brute force. To make up for the failure and protect its users, Apple enabled two-factor authentication (or 2FA) on iCloud and urged its customers to use it at all times.
What is two-factor authentication and where should you enable it? http://t.co/WSvDc9oSvb #passwords #privacy #security
— Kaspersky Lab (@kaspersky) June 9, 2014
However, 2FA in iCloud, as well as in Gmail, Facebook and many other web services, is optional. The majority of people prefer to skip it, as it is inconvenient and the mentioned majority does not have time for this.
At the same time, it is very easy to lose control over your email or social media profile, even if you are not Kim Kardashian or Kate Upton. The consequences can be devastating, especially if your work at an Internet company.
Two lock are better
The majority of people think of two-factor authentication as of the system sending one-time passwords in text messages. Well, it’s the most prominent method of 2FA for web services, yet it’s by far not the only one.
In general, 2FA is like a door with two padlocks. One of them is the traditional login-password combination, and the second could be anything else. Moreover, if two padlocks are not enough, you might employ as many as you like, but it would make the process of opening the door much longer, so it’s good to start with at least two.
Passwords sent via SMS are a comprehensible and relatively reliable way of authenticating, which is not always handy. Every time you’d like to access a service, you’d need to first have the phone at hand, and then wait for the SMS to come through, and then enter the digits…
Should you make a mistake or enter the code too late, the procedure is repeated. If, for instance there is congestion on the carrier’s network, the SMS might be delivered late. As for me, it could be really annoying.
Weak Link: How to lose everything having lost your #SIM-card https://t.co/wha5ECQP6A #security pic.twitter.com/ykU4j1mbvI
— Kaspersky Lab (@kaspersky) November 18, 2014
If you don’t have coverage (which is frequently the case when you travel), that means no password for you. You might lose your phone, after all, and being unable to leverage other means of communication in a situation like that is even more frustrating.
To cover you in such cases, many web services like Facebook and Google, offer other options. For example, they offer a list of one-time keys which you can preemptively compile, print out and store somewhere safe.
Moreover, 2FA with one-time codes delivered via SMS might be enabled not at all times but only when someone logs in from an unknown device. It’s your call, so decide on your option, based on how paranoid you are. The method is the same for any apps tethered to your account, like email clients. Once you feed them a specially generated password, they will be satisfied with it for a long time.
So, unless you are logging in from a new device every day, SMS-enabled 2FA is not a big deal. Once setup, it works ok.
ID on a smartphone
If you are a frequent traveler, a smarter way to enable 2FA would be a special app. Unlike SMS, this method of authentication functions offline. A one-time password is generated not on a server but on the smartphone (however, initial setup will require Internet connection).
There are a number of authentication apps, but Google Authenticator can definitely serve an industry standard. Besides Gmail, this program supports other services like Facebook, Tumblr, Dropbox, vk.com, WordPress and more.
Add 2-step verification to keep the bad guys out of your Google account http://t.co/8txtgcY1yM #staysafe pic.twitter.com/NuKmVuEpqs
— Google (@google) October 3, 2013
Should you prefer a feature-pack app, try Twilio Authy. It’s similar to Google Authenticator but has a couple of useful options.
First, it allows you to store certificates in the cloud and copy them to other devices (smartphones, PCs, tablets and many other platforms, including Apple Watch). Even in case of your devices being stolen, you still have control over your account. The app requires a PIN every time it’s launched, and the key could be revoked if your device is compromised.
Second, Twilio Authy makes your life easier when you start using a new device, unlike Google Authenticator.
One key to rule them all
The aforementioned solutions have one big flaw. If you are using the same device to log in and receive SMS with one-time passwords or deploy an app generating 2FA keys, this protection seems to be not that reliable.
A higher level of protection is provided by hardware tokens. They vary in shapes and form factors and could be USB tokens, smart cards, offline tokens with a digital display, but the principle is essentially the same. In essence, they are mini computers, which generate one-time keys on demand. The keys are then entered manually or automatically — for instance, through a USB interface.
Such hardware keys do not depend of network coverage or a phone or anything else; they just do their job no matter what. But they are purchased separately and some people find it hard not to lose one of these tiny gadgets.
Usually such keys are used to protect web banking services, enterprise systems and other important things. At the same time, you might use an elegant USB stick to secure your Google or WordPress account, provided the thumb drive supports open FIDO U2F specification (like the popular YubiKey tokens).
Present your implants!
Traditional hardware keys provide a high level of security, but are not very convenient to use. You could be sick and tired of having to plug in a USB drive every time you need to access an online service, and it cannot be plugged into a smartphone.
It would be much easier to use a wireless key, which is delivered via Bluetooth or NFC. By the way, this is possible in the new FIDO U2F specifications presented this summer.
A tag, which would serve to identify the legitimate user, can be deployed anywhere: in a keychain, a bankcard, or even in an NFC chip implanted under the skin. Any smartphone would be able to read this key and authenticate the user.
#BionicManDiary, entry 001: the story of how a chip was implanted into my body: https://t.co/tEawdUC2tj by @cheresh pic.twitter.com/dXwzYUdYSC
However, the overall two-factor authentication concept is so yesterday. Major services like Google and Facebook (silently) use multi-factor analysis to ultimately secure access. They assess the device and the browser used for logging in, as well as the location or usage patterns. Banks use similar systems to spot fraudulent activities.
So, in the future we are likely to rely on the advanced multi-factor solutions, which provide right balance between convenience and security. One of great examples illustrating this approach is Project Abacus, which was presented at the recent Google I/O conference.

In the new reality, your ID will be confirmed not only by a password rather than by a collection of other factors: your location, what you are currently doing, the manner of your speech, your breath, heartbeat, whether you use cyber-prosthetics and alike. The device to sense and identify these factors would be, predictably, your smartphone.
Here’s one example. Swiss researchers use surrounding noise as an authentication factor.
The idea behind this concept, which the researchers call Sound-Proof, is very simple. Once you try to access a certain service from your computer, the server sends a request to an app installed on your smartphone. Then both the computer and the smartphone record the surrounding sound, transform it into a digital signature, encrypt and send to the server for analyzing. If they match, it serves a proof that it’s a legitimate user trying to access the account.
How ambient sound can keep your data safe http://t.co/USgEnnDM0p pic.twitter.com/11c32HeiIK
— Popular Mechanics (@PopMech) August 18, 2015
Of course, this approach is not ideal. What if a culprit is sitting right next to the user in a restaurant? Then the surrounding noise might be practically the same. So, there should be other factors to prevent him from compromising your account.
All in all, both Sound-Proof and Abacus are meant for tomorrow’s security. When they are commercialized, the threats and challenges in information security are likely to have evolved as well.
As for today’s reality, just make sure to enable 2FA. You can find instructions on how to do it for the majority of popular services on web sites like Telesign Turn It On.

WASHINGTON - They agreed to close "coordination" on North Korea, both governments said.

The latest offer from North Korea came Sunday, days after planned talks between Pyongyang and Seoul were cancelled after disagreement over delegates.
But the reclusive nation demanded talks "without preconditions" even as US officials have always suspected that North Korea has been using provocations as a ploy to win concessions before offering dialogue and then resort again to raising tensions.

The problem has been that even though I was able to get rid of the winantiviruspro2007 and errorsafe popups earlier with the older version of vundofix I still keep getting these popups in finnish which have links to wixawin.com sites (dont worry I havent clicked any of them).. The problems started roughly last thursday when I woke up in the morning and went to my computer and F-Secure (my school provides it free-of-charge to students) had found a Win32.Trojan. Tiny or something like that and then I got loads of popups.. I did a full system scan after the cleaning of the warning and found nothing. Also I've done Ad-Aware full scans and installed Spybot S&D again and scanned with that too. But these "Win a PS3!" popups just wont go away..
Well looks like I'm not getting any popups now after some quick random browsing through my bookmarks but they seemed to come only every now and then. I will monitor the situation tomorrow since its 2:30 am here now and I need some sleep.
Close your browser and any other windows that are opened and please print these instructions Physically disconnect your computer from your modem/router and boot your PC into Safe Mode by restarting your computer - keep tapping F8 until the menu appears.
Use your up and down arrow keys to select Safe Mode.
We will continue your fix in Safe Mode.
To reduce the chance of AntiSpyware interfering with the fixes, please stop all antispyware on your computer. If you right-click on the icon in the systems tray you will find an option to ‘exit’. When you reboot, this will all return to normal.
You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the file, click YES.
Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer, click OK.

I did as you instructed even though I added the C:\WINDOWS\system32\byxxurr.dll twice to the list because I accidentally double clicked the add files button. I hope it didnt interfere with the process.

by Sekra » July 17th, 2007, 8:12 am Before doing the fixes with hjt I need to ask a few things.. I believe the ALCMTR.exe is a process used by my soundcard which uses the Realtek drivers? So if I disable it wouldn't it affect my soundcard drivers?
And the oxygen_fixer.bat is something I've made and added there for a game editor for Operation Flashpoint. It works best installed on the root of a drive so I've used a subst command to create a virtual drive.
I will wait for a reply before doing the fixes. Thank you for your help and time!
by Vino Rosso » July 17th, 2007, 8:26 am Thanks for the information on oxygen_fixer.bat
ALCMTR.EXE is not the audio driver itself, it's an Event Monitor used to surreptitiously monitor your actions. It is not a sinister one, like remote control programs, but it is being used by Realtek to gather data about you.

Covering a security incident in Argentina, on 06 September, Lawrence Abrams (BleepingComputer) wrote, “Argentina’s official immigration agency, Dirección Nacional de Migraciones, suffered a Netwalker ransomware attack that temporarily halted border crossing into and out of the country. While ransomware attacks against cities and local agencies have become all too common, this may be a first known attack against a federal agency that has interrupted a country’s operations.” Abrams continues, “According to a criminal complaint published by Argentina’s cybercrime agency, Unidad Fiscal Especializada en Ciberdelincuencia, the government first learned of the ransomware attack after receiving numerous tech support calls from checkpoints at approximately 7 AM on August 27th.”
At Gate 15, we spend a lot of time discussing Blended Threats. A Blended Threat is a natural, accidental, or purposeful physical or cyber danger that has or indicates the potential to have crossover impacts and harm life, information, operations, the environment, and/or property.
As our world gets increasingly connected, the potential of disruptive cyber attacks causing physical impacts also increases. And as ransomware threats continue to pursue ways to attack and pressure targets into making payments quickly, causing physical disruptions will become increasingly appealing (see our 11 Aug post “Blended Threats: Holding Buildings Hostage” for more ideas).
See the complete post, “Netwalker ransomware hits Argentinian government, demands $4 million,” to learn more about this attack and Netwalker, one of the very many ransomware threats currently impacting organizations worldwide. And follow BleepingComputer for great day-to-day ransomware threat awareness.
As this and other attacks continue across critical infrastructure, non-profits and other targets, our team at Gate 15 continues to apply our threat-informed, risk-based approach to analysis, preparedness and operations. Among other activities, we use that approach to develop client analysis and through preparedness activities, including a current series of workshops with focus on a threat scenario exploring organizational response to a ransomware attack causing physical impacts.
As the environment changes, our preparedness activities need to keep pace. Is your incident response plan ready for the threat of ransomware, for blended threats, and for other evolutions in our all-hazards threat environment? Our team is ready to help you develop the plans, training and exercises you need to be ready. During this National Preparedness Month, maybe it’s a great time to take the next step in your organizational preparedness.
In a post earlier this month, the DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) wrote CISA “recommends users and administrators use this month as an opportunity to asses cybersecurity preparedness for cyber-related events, such as identity theft, ransomware infection, or a data breach.” We agree. Let’s get started. | https://gate15.global/blended-threats-that-time-when-ransomware-shut-down-border-security/ |

Kelly Jackson Higgins November 06, 2012 The infamous Gh0st remote access Trojan (RAT) has been spotted working alongside a new backdoor Trojan that steals Firefox stored passwords and operates in DDoS attacks.
Researchers at FireEye discovered infected machines running both the cyberespionage-linked Gh0st and the so-called Backdoor. ADDNEW malware, with each also phoning home to the same command-and-control (C&C) IP address. "We saw the machines getting infected with Gh0st within one week of them getting infected with ADDNEW. The machines used the "Gh0st" magic keyword to beacon back to their CnCs," wrote Vinay Pidathala, security content researcher for FireEye.

One of its main targets was the Dalai Lama and related Tibetan operations, and researchers say signs point to a Chinese connection. Backdoor. ADDNEW is based on Russian malware called DaRK DDoSer, which can steal stored passwords in the Firefox browser and use the compromised machines in DDoS attacks.
Pidathala says Backdoor uses a custom protocol via TCP in its C&C communications. "The malware also communicates to its CnC about the port it's listening on," he wrote. "We also noticed another type of communication where the malware clearly informs its CnC that it is awaiting further commands for it to take actions on the compromised machine."
FireEye is still studying elements of the commands being issued by the attackers in the malware, but provides several screen shots of how the malware is communicating with the C&C infrastructure in its post. "More importantly though, there are strings in the binary referencing "DarkDDOSER." One can only speculate if in some way "DarkDdoser" and the Gh0st RAT complement each other," Pidathala said in the blog post today.

Zero-Day Exploits and APTs: Security Requirements vs. Operational Challenges
Enterprises are losing the battle against advanced, information-stealing malware attacks. We continuously discover new application vulnerabilities which are quickly exploited by cybercriminals. Traditional blacklisting solutions don't work, and more advanced whitelisting-solutions are unmanageable. How do you overcome the manageability and operational challenges of advanced malware protection?
In this webinar, guest speaker Rick Holland, senior analyst serving Security & Risk Professionals at Forrester Research, Inc., will discuss the security and operational challenges associated with advanced malware protection. Rick will review the technical and operational requirements organizations should consider when looking to prevent and mitigate advanced malware. Dana Tamir, Director of Product Management at Trusteer, will then introduce Trusteer Apex which applies a new groundbreaking approach for stopping zero-day exploits and data exfiltration.

What are your chances of being hacked, or targeted by some kind of cyberattack? I hate to tell you this, but they’re probably a lot higher than you might think.
For instance, despite almost 90 percent of small business owners believing they’re safe, about half of all small businesses will suffer from a catastrophic cyber-attack.
Are you at risk of being part of the unfortunate half?
Fortunately, there is a lot that you can do to help reduce the chances that a cyberattack will successfully target you. This is a really good thing - not only will a hack damage your relationships with everyone involved with your business, half of the businesses that are attacked close up shop within six months.
I’ve seen it happen far too often to businesses that just weren’t prepared.
Here, I’ve compiled a few tips to help you improve the basics of your cybersecurity, reducing your risk of a successful attack:
Updates - We know how annoying those update notifications can be, but it is important to remember that the vast majority of them are meant to improve security in one way, shape, or form. Therefore, you should prioritize these updates whenever possible. It may prevent an attack from victimizing you.
Involve Your Employees - The unfortunate reality is that your employees can be the biggest vulnerability your business has. Properly educating them in cybersecurity best practices and holding them to these standards will help reduce the chances that one of them will inadvertently let in a threat. Training them in various security best practices and explaining why certain requirements are in place will help to motivate them to participate for the company’s benefit.
Limit Access - On the other side of the coin, the less an employee has access to, the fewer chances there are that one of them leaves you vulnerable in some way. The same can be said of your clients - regardless of how much someone is trusted, you shouldn’t allow them privileges beyond their role. Whether its role-specific resources, data, or other information, employees should be given individual login credentials to make assigning privileges easier. Your business Wi-Fi should also remain separate from the Wi-Fi made available to clients.
Backup, Backup, and Backup Again - If, despite all your preparations, you are still infiltrated, you want to have an extra copy of all of your important data somewhere else, safe and sound. This backup copy would ideally be stored offsite and securely encrypted.
As it happens, Preferred is able to help you out with all of these measures, and many more.
If you want some added help with these cybersecurity basics, or want to do more to protect your operations, you can always lean on us. Preferred is committed to ensuring that your technology allows your business to operate better, improved security being a major part of that goal. Reach out by calling us at 708-781-7110.

September 16, 2016September 16, 2016skr_2011Leave a comment China hackers swipe millions in data breach. From CNBC.com. A big Wall Street technology firm is being sued after allegedly falling for a run-of-the-mill email scam and wiring client funds to hackers.
SS&C Technologies, a $6 billion market capitalization company that bills itself as “the most comprehensive powerhouse of software technology in the financial services industry,” was duped by China-based hackers who sent sloppy emails to company staffers in order to trick them into releasing client money, according to a complaint.
And that, now, has taken Tillage Commodities Fund offline temporarily. The investor has suspended business operations after nearly $6 million of its funds reportedly were fleeced, via SS&C, this March, according to a lawsuit. The complaint from Tillage, a commodities investor, alleges SS&C Technologies, its fund administrator, ignored its own protocol, resulting in the lost funds.

I installed Adobe Acrobat Professional 6.0 on Windows 7 (not in the VM). It's not supposed to be compatible but it works fine except for the PDF writer function. Of course because it is not certified, every time I open the program I get the UAC warning. But here is the strange thing. I added my wife as another user. If I open the program when logged in as her, I get no warning. Both of our UAC settings are identical as are our administrative rights. What's up?

The popular—and controversial—car-hailing app Uber has its roots in San Francisco, but the company is thinking globally with a new PayPal partnership.
Uber is offering a promotion this month for riders who pay with PayPal.
Credit cards aren’t a distinctly American form of payment, but they aren’t quite as ubiquitous in other parts of the world, which is where PayPal comes in.
Now Uber customers in the U.S., Germany, Italy, France, and the Netherlands can use PayPal to pay for their rides.
“As we’ve launched Uber in new cities around the world, we’ve learned many new things,” the company said in a Tuesday blog post. “For example, in Bogota, there is no ‘black car service’—professional drivers have white cards.
“But one of the most important things we’ve learned: while we Americans charge our credit cards with abandon, not everyone does.”
Uber is encouraging new and current users to use PayPal for rides with a promotion. If you use PayPal to pay for an Uber (excluding Uber Taxi) by Nov. 28, you get $15 off, no discount code required.
Uber is expanding quickly—the company announces tests or launches in cities around the world on a regular basis. | http://www.pcworld.com/article/2064875/uber-now-accepting-paypal-in-a-sign-of-global-ambition.html |

Below are some very good cyber security tips. The list originated in an email from the Better Business Bureau. I am unable to locate a good link, but I wanted to give proper credit.
Delete any online communication that looks suspicious, even if you think you know the source. Be careful about following links – especially links sent to you via email.
Create strong passwords by using a mix of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Do not use one password for all your accounts!
Make copies of your pictures, videos, and other digital documents by routinely backing up your systems.
Assume that the email you received from your bank is fraudulent. Do not reply to it. Instead, go directly to your bank's website and log in to your account or contact them via telephone to clarify matters. The same advice is good to follow whenever personal information is being solicited and there is even a little doubt to the authenticity of the email. Better safe than sorry, right?
Know that there are people out there who earn their livelihood by scamming people via the Internet or email. Be wary, they can be devious and clever.
Use the Internet to check it out! If you receive a communication that you are not sure of, it is often helpful to put the first sentence or the subject line of the email into a search engine. That is because there is a good chance that the scammers use the same verbiage over and over again and that someone has already reported it. This can also be useful with phone numbers and addresses. | http://blog.robinsongrimes.com/2013/11/cyber-security-tips.html |
Flexible, Customizable Deployment Options: Central-site Gateway: Deployed as a Central-site Gateway the NSA Series provides a high-speed scalable platform, providing network segmentation and security using VLAN’s and security zones. Redundancy features include WAN Load balancing, ISP fail-over and stateful high availability.
Layer 2 Bridge: Mode Layer 2 bridge mode provides inline intrusion detection and prevention, adds an additional level of zone-based security to network segments or business units and simplifies layered security. Additionally, this enables administrators to limit access to sensitive data by specific business unit or database server.
Multi-layer Protection: Remote Site Protection: Internal Protection: The highly-configurable E-Class NSA Series extends protection over the internal network by inspecting traffic over LAN interfaces and VLANs. Specifically designed for LAN network threats, the E-Class NSA Series monitors and responds to internally spreading malware, denial of service attacks, exploited software vulnerabilities, confidential documents, policy violations and network misuse.
Desktop and Server Protection: In addition to network and gateway based protection, the E-Class NSA Series provides additional end point protection for workstations and servers through an enforced anti-virus and antispyware client with advanced heuristics. This enforced client solution delivers network access control by restricting Internet access on end points that do not have the latest signature or engine updates. When enforcement is enabled on the appliance, each end point is directed to download the enforced anti-virus and anti-spyware client without any administrator intervention, automating the deployment of end point security.

The Language toolbar offers a convenient way to specify the input language and keyboard layout you want to use. It’s great for switching languages when multiple users (with differing language preferences) share a single computer—or when one of you geniuses who work in multiple languages needs to move from one lingo to the next.
If none of these situations applies to you and your computer, you may not see the Language toolbar at all. To see if it’s there waiting for you, right-click on the taskbar and point to Toolbars. Choose Language if it’s available, and the toolbar will float on your desktop, looking something like this:
The toolbar itself is a breeze to use. Consisting primarily of one or two pull-down menus, it lets you specify which language you’re keying (or dictating with voice-recognition software) and/or which keyboard layout you’re using.
If the Language toolbar isn’t available at all—and you want to see or use it—just tell Windows you want to use multiple input languages. In the Control Panel, choose Region and Language, go to Keyboards and Languages, and click Change keyboards.
Then, in the General tab of the Text Services and Input Languages pane, click Add and then select the languages and keyboards you yearn to use, close everything up, and then go back to the taskbar where you’ll be able to fire up the Language toolbar.
The toolbar can be displayed anywhere on your desktop—simply drag it around—or you can drag it to the taskbar, where it will be displayed near the notifications area. To make changes to the Language toolbar, right-click it and choose Settings, which takes you right back to the Text Services and Input Languages pane. The Language Bar tab lets you choose to dock or float the toolbar, make it transparent when inactive, and specify whether language and keyboard layout names are spelled out or merely abbreviated. (Note: Simply right-clicking the Language toolbar also gives you some of these options.)
Did you catch that business about the Language toolbar sometimes being inactive? Even when you’ve specified multiple languages and/or keyboards, the Language toolbar may be inactive if you’re not using software that lets you choose languages. (Example: Notepad doesn’t let you choose languages, but WordPad and Word most certainly do!) If you’ve set it to be transparent when inactive … well, you may have to look closely for it. That’s why I like to keep it docked to the taskbar—but that’s just me.
That’s it for the Language toolbar, so farewell, adieu, and adios until next time. | https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/hub/2010/06/02/using-the-language-toolbar-in-windows-7/ |
Thursday, May 1 11:45 AM – 1:00 PM, Bellini 2105 Now that you have a good understanding of the OS deployment features and functionality provided by Configuration Manager and Microsoft Deployment, we’ll explore ways to create dynamic, data-driven deployment processes. We will discuss performing rules-based, data-driven deployments; using external data sources; adding your own scripts and customizing those provided with Microsoft Deployment; overriding task sequence properties and other advanced topics.
SN02 What’s New in the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) 2008? Updates for Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista SP1 Thursday, May 1 2:30 PM – 3:45 PM, Veronese 2405 Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista SP1 introduce new changes in the underlying service stack and Windows Automated Installation Kit. These changes are addressed in the second release of the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (formerly BDD). This session will introduce MDT 2008 changes, focused on Windows Vista SP1 support and Windows Server deployment. MDT 2008 provides broader support for deploying Windows Servers, including automated role installation using Server Manager in Windows Server 2008. This session will be presented first hand by solution developers and provide an overview of the Solution Accelerator, updates versus previous versions, tool demonstrations and the current roadmap and release schedule for future MDT releases. So this time around we are trying something new: we have two sessions in the System Center track, following after Michael Kelley’s sessions on the OS deployment features in Configuration Manager 2007. First he’ll show all the new OS capabilities in ConfigMgr, then we’ll talk about how we can extend and enhance those capabilities.
In the third session, we’ll just talk about what’s changing in the (still upcoming) new version of Microsoft Deployment. If you read the title carefully, you’ll see that there’s a slight name tweak on the way…
There are also sessions from Johan Arwidmark, Jeremy Chapman, and Steve Campbell, plus quite a few hands-on labs. So if you’re looking for an abundance of information around OS deployment (whether Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or previous versions) I think we’ll have you covered Comments (1) Cancel reply Name * Email * Website aw says: February 14, 2016 at 4:03 pm hai, I just want to tell you that I am just very new to blogs and seriously loved this website.

Windows Azure Media Services is now generally available for customers looking for a platform to create, manage, and distribute media in the cloud. With this new service, businesses can now quickly build a media distribution solution that can stream audio and video to Windows, iOS, Android, and other devices and platforms.
As Scott Guthrie, Corporate Vice President of Windows Azure, announced yesterday, Windows Azure Media Services enables you to easily scale your business as it grows, and pay only for what you use. “What makes this so exciting is that this new cloud-based Platform as a Service (PaaS) service helps our customers to quickly build great, scalable, end-to-end media solutions that will allow them to stream video content to a wide variety of hardware and platforms,” Guthrie said.
Whether building a media service for delivering training videos to employees, streaming video content for a website, or building premium video-on-demand services like Hulu or Netflix, with Windows Azure Media Services you can stream video to HTML5, Flash, Silverlight, Windows 8, iPad, iPhone, Android, Xbox, Windows Phone and other clients using a wide variety of streaming formats.
Prior to yesterday’s general availability announcement, the Windows Azure Media Services preview already delivered live and on-demand video streaming at last summer’s London Olympics. You can read more about that here. And be sure to check out the Windows Azure Media Services site as well as the Windows Azure Media Service Dev Center for tutorials, how-to articles, blogs, and lots more. | https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/openness/2013/01/23/now-available-deliver-streaming-video-and-more-across-platforms-with-windows-azure-media-services/ |
Recently, DefenseCode researchers have uncovered a high-risk Broadcom UPnP stack remote root vulnerability.
The vulnerability is located within the wanipc and wanppp modules of the Broadcom UPnP stack, which is used by manufacturers that deliver routers based on the Broadcom chipset.
The remote preauth format string vulnerability in the Broadcom UPnP stack can be exploited to write arbitrary values to an arbitrary memory address, and also to remotely read router memory. When exploited, it allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code under the root account. | https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2013/02/06/list-of-products-affected-by-the-vulnerable-broadcom-upnp-stack/ |
Business continuity is the activity performed by an organization to ensure that critical business functions will be available to customers, suppliers, regulators, and other entities that must have access to those functions. These activities include many daily chores such as project management, system backups, change control, and help desk. Business continuity is not something implemented at the time of a disaster; Business Continuity refers to those activities performed daily to maintain service, consistency, and recoverability.
The foundation of business continuity are the standards, program development, and supporting policies; guidelines, and procedures needed to ensure a firm to continue without stoppage, irrespective of the adverse circumstances or events.
All system design, implementation, support, and maintenance must be based on this foundation in order to have any hope of achieving business continuity, disaster recovery, or in some cases, system support.
A reliable online backup of your data coupled with offsite storage of Server images will prove to be the corner stone to your disaster recovery and thus business continuity activity.

This is an example of ransomware from wired.com. This is not the Department of Justice as the screen might indicate, but rather some blackhat who has infiltrated your system and is looking for a easy cash grab.
Imagine turning on your computer and discovering all of your keys are locked, except a couple of open boxes on a screen, telling you that before you can get access again, you must pay a fine.
This is what happened to the Los Angeles Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center. The entire network was shut down and access would only be granted if they paid a ransom of $3.6 million.
You can see how ransomware has the potential to wreak havoc for anyone whose livelihood relies on a computer. It's a malware that encrypts files and requires a key to unlock. It can come into a network through a simple file attachment in an email.
Do not respond to the demands of these cyber hacks. First check out reputable sites, like your Google FAQs, PC World, and perhaps first: your antivirus company, such as Vipre, Norton, or McAfee, to see what types of patches they have to remove this Trojan horse.
Most viruses hold your devices hostage but ransomware ups the ante with a payment demand. Now, just like a real-life kidnapping, paying the ransom doesn't mean the hacker will release your computer.
The best prevention is to play safe online. Top up your protection software and make sure it's current. Look at the link of a website before you click it to make sure it matches what you're expecting. For example, if you receive an email from Amazon advertising a product that interests you, when you mouse over the link in the email, you can see what link highlights before you click in most cases. But to be safe, go to the top of the browser and log directly into the account and search for the product. Don't open unexpected attachments unless there is an explanation from a known sender or if the email looks suspicious (even from a known sender.) Ask the known sender if they sent you a file out of the blue. When in doubt, don't open the attachment. | http://takebacktheinternet.blogspot.ca/2016/02/ransomware.html |
IBM did its holiday shopping a little early this year, picking up security information management and compliance tool vendor Consul today for an undisclosed sum.
Consul, a 20-year-old company originally founded to do mainframe data and usage auditing, is one of several smaller security vendors that makes tools for collecting information about user access and activity across an enterprise. Such data is critical in the effort to meet security requirements outlined in a variety of government and industry policies and regulations, including Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPAA.
The buyout of Consul, a privately-held company, is IBM's eleventh acquisition this year. Financial terms were not disclosed. IBM already has acquired Internet Security Systems (ISS), which offers a variety of security management tools, and Micromuse, which offers software for IT event management and correlation.
"This adds a missing element to our portfolio: a tool that helps manage the compliance effort," says Steven Adler, program director for IBM's Data Governance Solutions group. "Customers have been telling us for some time about the challenges surrounding audits -- we've heard of CSOs who are now spending more than 50 percent of their time just reporting audit results."
IBM has been offering security tools for years through its Tivoli subsidiary, which offers identity and access management applications for large enterprises. The Consul products will be integrated with the Tivoli line, and perhaps with the ISS security products and the Micromuse event management tools down the road, Adler says.
Consul's "auditor-in-a-box" tool set will help IBM collect data not only about how security access is programmed, but also about the ways that enterprise systems are used, Adler says. "It gives us the validation layer that we didn't have before, where we can see who's using which resources."
Adler compared Consul's product to the "black box" that some auto insurance companies have given to customers in order to track their driving habits and behaviors. "It allows the insurance company to get a better idea of what the risks are when they insure a given customer," he says. "The same principle applies to security auditing -- if you collect information on what the end user is doing, then you'll have a better idea of what your risks are."
There are several security information management (SIM) companies rumored to be on the selling block, according to Eric Ogren, security analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. "The SIM market has always been a displacement market, where a vendor simply displaces an incumbent that cannot meet expectations," he says. "It is a vicious cycle leading to a crash event, where small vendors are getting scooped up for pennies on the dollar."
IBM was attracted to Consul by its support of a variety of operating systems, including IBM mainframe environments, Adler says. "There is still a lot of critical data residing on the mainframe, and a lot of other audit tools don't address that."
Big Blue hasn't developed a plan for integrating the Consul technology with its Tivoli, ISS, or Micromuse offerings, but tying it to the Tivoli Access Manager suite will probably be a first step, Adler predicts. | https://www.darkreading.com/analytics/ibm-buys-into-security-compliance |
Demonstrating the increasing appetite of the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) to take enforcement action, Virgin Media Limited is the latest organisation to be held to account for a breach of the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA). The breach seems to have occurred earlier this year following the loss of a compact disc that was passed to Virgin Media by Carphone Warehouse. The disc contained personal details of various individuals' interest in opening a Virgin Media Account in a Carphone Warehouse store.
In this instance, the ICO has not gone straight to issuing an enforcement notice (by contrast to the treatment of the Liberal Democrat Party last week), but has instead obtained a formal undertaking requiring Virgin Media to undertake certain steps to improve its security measures. The breadth of the obligation to use encryption will surprise many organisations.
Virgin Media is required, with immediate effect, to encrypt all portable or mobile devices that store and transmit personal information. Further, the company is to ensure that any service provider processing personal information on its behalf must also use encryption software and this requirement has to be clearly stated in all contracts. We suspect that in practice not many organisations expressly state this in their contracts. Most - if they deal with security at all - will contain the generic security language contained in the seventh principle of the DPA.
The ICO has not yet issued clear guidance on the level of security it expects companies to adopt in order to comply with the seventh principle of the DPA, a position which is increasingly frustrating. It is, however, becoming rapidly clear in the wake of the recent spate of public security breaches that the ICO views encryption as critical. Particularly where mobile devices are involved.
The ICO's patience on this has clearly worn out, as over the past few months laptops (Marks & Spencer), DVDs (HM Revenue and Customs), and memory sticks (PA Consulting) have all gone astray, with the potential loss of thousands of records. In a number of cases the 'culprit' has been a service provider (hence the insistence on wording being included in the contracts of the service provider) albeit that the organisation appointing them is still held responsible as the data controller (eg M&S).
We would, therefore, urge you to consider whether you are treating this topic with the scrutiny required in contracts, as well as operationally. Those in the public sector are already trying to get to grips with the outcome of the Data Handling Review and the subsequent requirement from the Office of Government Commerce to include new security-related clauses in contracts under which data will be handled. The Office of Government Commerce also strongly urges a review of existing contracts.
However, the impact on those having to implement the recommendation does not seem to have been thought through; nor does the impact on the service providers who suddenly find themselves required to meet significantly higher security standards that were not built into their cost models.
With newly granted powers of the ICO, including the ability to levy fines for serious breaches, now is the time to undertake a serious review of the security applied to personal data that you process and how this is treated in your contracts. The scale of fine the ICO will be able to inflict remains unknown.
For those wanting guidance on good or bad security practice, the Financial Services Authority recent guidance on its expectations for data security provides a useful reference point. Follow this link to our e80 on this subject in April 2008

Today’s rapidly evolving world means that traditional security measures like firewalls and antivirus just aren’t enough to protect a company from a devastating hack. While it’s usually the big companies that make the headlines, the reality is every organization is a target, regardless of size. In fact, cyber-attacks are on the rise for small and midsize businesses, which is logical since most lack the essential security controls necessary to mitigate risk - in fact, 61% of data breach victims were small & mid-size companies in 2016 (2017 Verizon Data Breach Report). The most disturbing fact is that the majority of small businesses that are breached are forced to close their doors within six months later (US National Cyber Security Alliance).
Close to 400 million malware variants were observed in 2016 (Internet Security Threat Report, April 2017) with the number growing every day, mid-size businesses are constantly under attack and it is becoming next to impossible for these businesses to defend themselves. An attacker needs to only score one time to gain access, businesses need to defend against these millions of variants.

Over the past decades, the Internet has become an integral part of our everyday life. We use electronic payment services, pay utility bills using Internet banking, conduct business, and friendly correspondence. If we do not follow basic security rules, our confidential information can be stolen by fraudsters. Phishing is one of the types of Internet fraud aimed at obtaining illegal access to personal user data.
However, using security software that blocks access to fake websites and browsers with phishing filters may help you to avoid becoming a victim of scammers. Such comparisons as Avast vs Norton 360 or Kaspersky vs McAfee might be helpful to protect yourself. Despite their effectiveness, one should know the basic moves against phishing.
How Phishing Works
Cybercriminals use various tricks to get users to reveal their data, such as phone numbers, numbers, secret codes of bank cards, logins, and passwords of email and social media accounts. Often, users apply a specific service or opportunity that pull them into such actions. For example, customers of online stores are offered a fantastic deal with a considerable discount.
Any other confidential information can be of interest to attackers. Fraudsters fish out user data for different reasons. It can be checking authorization on the site, the need to unsubscribe from an email newsletter, paying for a purchase at a bargain price, or with a good discount, the need to install a new application, etc. The specific feature of phishing is that the fraud victim provides their sensitive data willingly. To achieve this, cybercriminals operate with tools such as phishing sites, email newsletters, phishing landing pages, pop-ups, and targeted advertising.
The user receives an offer to register for any benefit or confirm his personal data, allegedly for banking or commercial institutions. Typically, scammers disguise themselves as well-known companies, social media applications, email services. The sender’s email address really looks like a familiar company. Attackers take advantage of a low level of user awareness, in particular, ignorance of basic network security rules.
First of all, the organizers of phishing attacks are interested in personal data that give access to money. Thus, not only individuals, but also companies, electronic payment systems, online stores, banks, and auctions can become phishing victims.
Email is most often used to promote links to fake sites. Do not trust email messages that suggest you follow a link to make any necessary changes to your account, even if the message was sent supposedly from your bank or other trustworthy institution.
Large and respected companies who take pride in their work, especially those dealing with finances, rarely send such messages. If you have the slightest doubt about the message’s authenticity, contact the bank or the sending institution by phone without opening the message.
Don’t click suspicious links
You should not be fooled by the fact that the HTML link contained in the email message looks precisely like the address of, say, your financial institution. Many technologies allow hiding the address of a completely different web page inside an HTML link.
To avoid getting there, don’t click on the link, copy and paste it into your browser’s address bar instead. This way, you could see the real address where you go if you click this link.
Make sure you are protected
If you need to enter your password or any personal information, and are suspicious of the page’s authenticity, take steps to ensure that you are on a secure web site. The address of the secure site in the browser address bar must start with https://.
Also, look in your browser window for the icon that represents a closed padlock. Depending on your computer’s model and the browser used, it can be located in different places. But most often either in the lower right corner of the window or directly in the address bar. Double-clicking on this icon will display the site’s security certificate.
Ensure that the address shown in the certificate matches the address displayed in the address bar of your browser. Never enter your passwords and personal information on unsecured sites. | https://faze.ca/phishing-attacks-and-countermeasures/ |

Cyber attacks threaten the financial stability of a company.
The steep, monetary burden of a cyber attack isn't exclusively tied to damaged digital assets, lost records, and the price of investigating and reporting a breach. Damage to an organization’s physical assets can be just as harmful.
The physical damage of a cyber attack typically occurs when a hacker accesses a computer system that controls equipment. Examples include technology-based controls in a manufacturing plant, refinery or electric generating plant. After a hacker gains access to an organization’s machinery, they control it.
These types of events can lead to major disruptions and costly damages. To safeguard physical assets, it’s critical for organizations to understand the types of businesses and assets that are exposed to these attacks.
What’s at Risk?
Let's compare a cyber attacks to a natural disaster or other industrial accident. Following these kinds of incidents, organizations can incur costs to repair and replace damaged equipment in addition to any lost revenue caused by the disruption.
Unlike natural disasters, however, cyber attacks that result in physical damage aren’t limited to a geographic location and can impact an entire network. This means damages caused by a breach can be widespread, affecting multiple sectors of the economy depending on the target.
Because of this, cyber attacks that cause physical damage are often dynamic and extensive. When an attack on critical infrastructure occurs, it not only affects business owners and operators, but suppliers, stakeholders and customers.
Who’s at Risk?
Cyber attacks that cause physical damage — including the targets, assailants, motives and means of the attack — are constantly evolving.
Incidents can occur in a variety of ways, including: phishing scams, internet exchange point attacks, breaches of unsecured devices and plots carried out by rogue employees.
Many experts deem power and energy sector organizations the most at risk. However, vulnerabilities also exist in utilities, telecommunications, oil and gas, petrochemicals, mining and manufacturing, and any other sectors where industrial control systems (ICSs) are used.
ICSs are open computer systems used to monitor and control physical processes as well as streamline operations and repairs. ICSs are not often designed with security as a primary consideration. This leaves them susceptible to attack. And, for many automated processes, attacks don’t even need to cause physical damage to result in significant disruption and losses.
The targets of cyber attacks vary greatly by industry, and the damage can be extensive due to the interconnected nature of ICSs.
Real-World Examples
Organizations are not always required to report cyber attacks, so they largely go unreported. However, here are a number of high-profile incidents that demonstrate how important it is to consider infrastructure cyber exposures:
→ Ukrainian power grid attack. This was a multisite attack that disconnected seven 110 kilovolt (kV) and three 35 kV substations. The attack resulted in a power outage for 80,000 people and lasted for three hours. The attackers caused substantial, prolonged disruption to the economy and general public utilizing a phishing scam.
→ Saudi Arabian computer attacks. Hackers destroyed thousands of computers across six organizations in the energy, manufacturing and aviation industries. A simple virus stole data and then computers were wiped and bricked. Not only did this mean critical business data was lost forever, but all of the damaged computers had to be replaced — a substantial fee for businesses of any size.
→ Petrochemical plant attack. This attack targeted a Saudi Arabian petrochemical plant. The unique attack wasn’t designed to steal data, but rather sabotage operations and trigger an explosion. The only thing that prevented an explosion was a mistake in the attackers’ computer code. Had the attack been successful, the plant would likely have been destroyed and many employees could have died. Experts are concerned that similar attacks could happen across the globe.
→ Hospital ventilation attack. In this incident, a hacker was able to control a hospital’s HVAC system using malware. This attack put the safety of staff, patients and medical supplies in jeopardy, as the hacker could control the temperature of the facilities.
Cyber attacks will likely become increasingly common, as technology advances and hackers become more creative. Even more concerning is that these kinds of attacks not only endanger a company’s data, reputation and finances, but human lives as well.
How Do I Protect My Organization?
Insurance coverage for cyber attacks is still in its infancy, and your organization may have gaps in protection. Even if your property insurance policy includes physical or nonphysical damage overages, you may not necessarily be covered from first- or third-party losses from cyber attacks.
The level of protection your company has depends largely on the structure of your policies. Therefore, it’s critical for businesses to do their due diligence and understand if their policies do the following:
→ Impose any limits on coverage, particularly as it relates to physical damage of tangible property.
→ Cover an attack and any resulting damages.
→ Provide contingent coverage for attacks that aren’t specifically targeted at the organization.
There are a number of steps businesses can take by themselves to protect their physical assets. In addition to implementing a cyber risk management plan, businesses should consider the following:

The following information was obtained from the different cyber security sources and provided as a notification to all parties concerned pursuant to the mandate of the Philippine National Police Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP ACG).
The information provided is classified as Restricted pursuant to the PNP Regulation 200-012 on document security with impact rating of significant and threat rating of high, based on PNP Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Security Manual s.2010-01 p. 22 and p.129.
SUMMARY
An espionage trojan called SpyNote RAT has been found masquerading as the popular Netflix app, to trick Android users into downloading it. It then sets about constantly eavesdropping on user activity.
Zscaler’s ThreatlabZ said that once installed, the malware is capable of activating the device’s microphone and listening to live conversations; uninstalling antivirus software; copying files from the device to the hacker’s server; recording screen captures; viewing contacts; reading SMS messages; and gaining remote control of the device. To the latter point, command execution can create havoc for victim if the malware developer decides to execute commands in the victim’s device. Leveraging this feature, the malware developer can root the device using a range of vulnerabilities, well-known or zero-day.
“The spyware in this analysis was portraying itself as the Netflix app. Once installed, it displayed the icon found in the actual Netflix app on Google Play,” researchers explained, in an analysis. “As soon as the user clicks the spyware’s icon for the first time, nothing seems to happen and the icon disappears from the home screen. This is a common trick played by malware developers, making the user think the app may have been removed. But, behind the scenes, the malware has not been removed; instead it starts preparing its onslaught of attacks.”
SpyNote RAT also uses an unusual trick to make sure that it remains up and running and that the spying does not stop. It uses something called BootComplete, which is a broadcast receiver—an Android component that can register itself for a particular event. In this case, whenever the device is booted, BootComplete gets triggered. BootComplete then starts the AutoStartup service, which can perform long-running operations in the background and does not need a user interface. And then the AutoStartup service makes sure that the RAT’s core functionality is always running. | http://acg.pnp.gov.ph/main/resources/cyber-security-bulletins/188-acg-cyber-security-bulletin-no-83 |

Posting a roundup of useful data visualization tools invariably means leaving out more than you can include. JavaScript libraries alone number considerably more than the 22 free tools for data visualization and analysis I reviewed last week. I knew I'd hear from Computerworld readers -- in comments, by email and via social media -- and I expected you'd have some great additions to my initial list. You didn't disappoint. Here are some of the more interesting recommendations, culled from reader responses, social media and posts around the Web. Disclaimer: I haven't tried any of these hands-on (yet).MicroStrategy Reporting Suite
One reader asked why MicroStrategy's free reporting tool didn't make the cut. Why? I didn't feel that a multi-user application requiring server installation fit well into a review of desktop and Web-based tools. However, that doesn't mean it's not a useful data tool. Reporting Suite is free for up to 100 users and offers tables, graphs, and the ability to query data and generate statistical metrics. This looks like an interesting option for IT professionals seeking a department-level reporting and visualization tool.D3.js
I just came across this JavaScript library today (thanks to @keikei on Twitter). It's a small code package for data-based manipulation of HTML files. The examples look straightforward and well-documented, offering code for maps, graphs, treemaps, sunbursts, scatterplots and more, and there are several tutorials to start off. While the JavaScript libraries in my original article are likely more than enough for my own needs, this could be a good fit for one of your projects. Make a Map
This is a lot more specialized than the other tools, but it's cool enough that I wanted to give it a mention. ESRI, maker of ArcGIS, posted this free tool to let you make your own map from U.S. Census data. Enter a location (Zip code, address or "place of interest") and select from data such as household income, population growth, home values and unemployment rates, and you'll get a map that's embeddable into your own Web site in less than 60 seconds. Data Science Toolkit
This isn't a new tool as such but more like an intriguing new version of existing tools. Pete Warden, creator of the OpenHeatMap service profiled in my tools roundup, says he's collected and bundled several open data sets and open-source tools to help get your data ready to be analyzed. The idea is to be able use some of the most appealing Web-based data tools locally, without worrying about a provider disappearing or sensitive data traveling outside your organization. "It's essentially a specialized Linux distribution, with a lot of useful data software pre-installed and exposing a simple interface," he explains on the site. Data Science Toolkit is available "as a self-contained virtual machine or EC2 AMI that you can deploy yourself. "Services include geocoding street addresses, converting PDFs to text files and reading text within images.
Visualization Toolkit
Anonymous complained it was "mind boggling" to leave out Kitware's VTK. However, any article trying to tackle a subject like "visualization tools" needs to have some sort of focus if it's not to end up the length of a book, and I never planned to examine software for serious visualizations of 3D data that are examined by supercomputer labs. If you are looking for software that performs "3D computer graphics, image processing and visualization" that enterprises like NASA and Los Alamos National Labs are using, Visualization Toolkit looks worthy of inclusion on a short list. But this is definitely not a tool for beginners. Along the same lines, Vizworld's Randall Hand noted that ParaView, another robust open-source scientific visualization software from Kitware, deserved mention.VisIT
This interactive visualization tool, developed by the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Simulation and Computing Initiative, is also a highly robust, serious scientific visualization tool aimed more at high-end researchers than business analysis. VisIt isn't for charting sales over time or home prices on a map. However, VisIt does include a graphical user interface designed to allow novice users "to quickly get started visualizing their data, as well as allowing power users access to advanced features." And despite its parallel and distributed architecture, VisIT runs on Windows and Mac OS X desktops as well as Unix systems. You can download executables as well as source code for this application. If you're seeking free software to visualize complex data sets, Randall Hand has a point: VisIt is worthy of inclusion. BeGraphic Lite
This free Excel plug-in can generate maps, meters/gauges, charts and infographics from within your spreadsheet. (More viz options are available with a paid version.) It's Windows only, and the download includes Microsoft's .NET framework, Office Primary Interop Assembly, Visual Studio tools for Office runtime and Visual Studio fix KB908002 as well as the application itself. I decided I wasn't comfortable loading all of this onto my Windows system at home (I've got a Mac at work), especially after the lone reference I could find to BeGraphic on Microsoft's site was a forum posting that claimed uninstalling it solved a problem with Excel 2010. But if you're looking for a tool to boost in-Excel graphic capabilities, this may be of interest. Any more I've left out that you think are worthy? Please leave suggestions in the comments. If you missed it, check out the chart showing the first 22 free tools and what each does. Sharon Machlis is online managing editor at Computerworld. Her e-mail address is [email protected].

At the Linux Foundation's annual conference in August, IBM VP Brad McCredie told the crowd something that was probably unthinkable when Linus Torvalds created his new operating system kernel two decades ago.
"The Linux market now is bigger than the Unix market," he said.
As recently as Q4 2010, Unix server revenue was 25.6 percent of the worldwide market, with Linux at 17 percent, according to IDC. By the first quarter of 2012, Linux commanded 20.7 percent of worldwide server revenue compared to Unix's 18.3 percent. And in IDC's most recent report covering Q2 2013, Linux was up to 23.2 percent of all revenue with $2.8 billion, while Unix fell 21 percent year over year to $1.8 billion. Unix's Q2 server revenue of 15.1 percent was its lowest ever reported by IDC. (Windows servers account for nearly 50 percent of revenue, while IBM's mainframes took nearly 10 percent.)
Linux surpassing Unix is no surprise. Red Hat and other vendors have been trumpeting their ability to move customers from old Unix servers to Linux ones for years now. Open source operating systems based on Linux are prevalent on everything from Web servers and small business workloads to the world's biggest supercomputers. "Linux server demand continued to be positively impacted by cloud infrastructure deployments" in the second quarter, IDC said.
But Unix isn't dead yet, analysts and vendors are quick to note.
“Near-ultimate availability”
Press coverage was already declaring the death of Unix back in late 2011, at which time Forrester analyst Richard Fichera wrote a blog post saying, "the extinction of UNIX is not going to happen in our lifetime... UNIX on proprietary RISC architectures will stay around for several reasons that primarily revolve around their being the only close alternative to mainframes in regards to specific high-end operational characteristics."
For performance, "near-ultimate availability," and "isolated bulletproof partionability"—the ability to run workloads on "dynamically scalable and electrically isolated partitions with the option to move workloads between them while running"—Unix was still king, Fichera wrote in that October 2011 post.
Linux has closed much of the gap, Fichera wrote in an update in July this year. The kernel's scalability to 4,096 x86 CPUs and up to 16TB of memory puts it "well into high-end UNIX server territory," he wrote. I/O performance, virtualization, clustering, and high availability are also improving. "Modern Linux is looking an awful lot like UNIX," with the "number of workloads that cannot be effectively served by Linux on x86 systems continu[ing] to shrink," he wrote.
But again, Unix still isn't dead and may never kick the bucket in our lifetimes. While migrations from Unix to Linux continue, a core group of customers continues to upgrade hardware on which existing applications run. Unix may not attract as many new customers as Linux, but new deployments do exist.
"People expect that Unix will go away like turning a light switch, and it simply won't happen that way," IDC Research Vice President Jean Bozman told Ars. "This decline should taper to some level. I don't think we're there yet, but it's going to hit a level where those core workloads are going to be refreshed, and there are net new customers as well. We don't expect [Unix] to disappear at all, and we haven't hit the number where it's going to plateau yet."
Migrations from Unix to Linux have been "primarily driven by cost, or perception of cost over time," Bozman said.
Still, Databases, and data warehousing in particular, remain strong on Unix, she said. Unix also remains hugely important in the telecommunications industry, no surprise since Unix was developed at AT&T and Bell Labs in the late 1960s and early 1970s. "A lot of that is software that companies write for themselves to control the way calls are routed," she said.
In IDC's market data, Unix systems include RISC, Itanium, and x86 systems running Unix operating systems (like IBM AIX, HP-UX 11, or Oracle Solaris). "The entire Unix system's ecosystem is composed of servers, storage, software, and services. Thus, there is a multiplier effect in which Unix servers are the foundation of a Unix ecosystem worth several times the server revenue alone," Bozman said.
Rivals hope IBM won’t dominate Unix like it does the mainframe
IBM has extended its market share lead, although, like other vendors, its revenue has declined. IBM made $5.7 billion on Unix servers in 2011 for a 50.4 percent revenue share and $5.1 billion in 2012 for a 56.1 percent share, according to IDC data Bozman provided to Ars.
Oracle and HP took 19.2 percent and 18.6 percent of the Unix market in 2012, respectively. Hitachi and Fujitsu rounded out the top five with 2.2 percent and 2.1 percent. The total Unix market dropped from $11.3 billion in 2011 to $9.1 billion in 2012.
Mission-critical applications are still attracting customers to Unix systems, IBM's McCredie told Ars. McCredie recently visited a few customers in "very large retail, some in banking, very large enterprises, and they're still putting new workloads on the Unix systems," he said. Unix is doing particularly well with databases and enterprise resource planning applications, he said.
IBM came to the LinuxCon conference this year to tout an increased investment in Linux for its Power servers, which also run Unix. That doesn't mean the company is going to let its Unix technology stagnate though.
"I would not portray this as a disinvestment in Unix," McCredie said. "IBM is a big company. We have a lot of resources, and we can do more than one thing. The investment in Linux is not to say we need to migrate people off. We've had zero customers say, 'we don't like Unix, we need to go somewhere else.'"
Oracle is similarly trumpeting both Linux and Unix. "While we're seeing that some customers are moving workloads off of UNIX servers, we also see many moving back to UNIX servers to fulfill their up-time, performance, and data integrity requirements that the other platforms can't give them," Oracle VP of software development Markus Flierl told Ars in an e-mail.
Unix customers could suffer if the continued drop in revenue pushes vendors out of the market, leaving only one or two viable options. Fujitsu says it's going to try to prevent that from happening, despite being one of the smallest vendors, with annual Unix server revenue dropping from $303 million to $188 million between 2011 and 2012.
Fujitsu server head Noriyuki Toyoki warned last month that letting IBM dominate Unix the way it dominates mainframes would be bad for everyone (except IBM), according to the IDG News Service.
“Two cash cows would make IBM much, much stronger. We have to stop it. That would not be good for us, and it’s never good for the customer," Toyoki said.
The cases that the article talks about UNIX dominating (AIX and Solaris particularly) are pretty much the antithesis of clustering.
There are problems that are best solved by scaling vertically... one box powerful enough to manage the entire solution, and which is designed to NEVER go down because every component is internally redundant. When a power supply, cpu, or disk goes bad... you just rip out the component and stick a new one in while the system keeps on chugging.
These problems aren't really about the operating system. You need someone like IBM or Oracle (rip SUN) who knows how to build these kind of systems from the silicon up.
Even once there are comparable solutions using Linux, possibly from the same vendors above, the issues of migrating can be substantial. Something as simple as endian issues can be a showstopper for porting a 30 year old codebase; not to mention all the platform-specific tooling that code probably leverages. | https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/10/linux-is-king-nix-of-the-data-center-but-unix-may-live-on-forever/ |
Oracle's recent move to acquire Sun has placed the responsibility for advancing MySQL development into the hands of the project's most prominent competitor. The move is of deep concern to MySQL stakeholders and has created some uncertainty about the future of the popular open source database system.
Some key developers in the MySQL community are launching a new coalition called the Open Database Alliance which intends to coordinate collaborative MySQL development. The alliance—which currently consists of Monty Program Ab, Percona, and OpenQuery—aims to provide an inclusive, vendor-neutral environment for moving forward MySQL development. Their efforts will attempt to insulate MySQL from Oracle's competitive interests by giving the collective MySQL community enough leverage to control the project's destiny.
Sun acquired MySQL Ab—the company behind MySQL development—last year as part of a broader strategy to make its own technologies look more compelling as an alterantive to the conventional Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP (LAMP) stack. Sun's stewardship of the project was controversial and led to some friction. MySQL cofounders David Axmark and Monty Widenius both left Sun after the acquisition, citing frustration with management and dissatisfaction with the direction of MySQL development under Sun. Widenius was particularly unhappy with new release management practices that were instated following the acquisition.
After leaving Sun, Widenius launched Monty Program Ab, a company that provides MySQL engineering services and focuses heavily on developing the Maria MySQL storage engine. The company also develops MariaDB, a compatible "drop-in" replacement for MySQL, based on the original source code. When Sun was acquired by Oracle last month, Widenius said that Monty Program Ab could play a vital role in building a new community-driven development model for MySQL by moving MariaDB forward, making the project more independent and participatory. The Open Database Alliance appears to be an impressive first step in that direction.
Ars discussed the Open Database Alliance with Kurt von Finck, the Chief Community and Communications Officer of Monty Program Ab. He explained some of the details of the alliance's plans and how the group will serve the MySQL community.
At the present time, the organization has no clearly defined formal structure or governance model. According to von Finck, the first participants hope to build more momentum around the concept before they decide how the group should operate. This will allow incoming members to have a voice in the process as the alliance expands. Organic growth is important at this stage, von Finck says, and it will be easier to determine what kind of organizational structure works best after the group achieves critical mass.
The alliance's relationship with Oracle is also not yet clearly defined. Monty Program Ab characterizes its work on MariaDB as a MySQL fork. After Oracle completes its acquisition of Sun, Oracle could adopt Monty Program Ab's fork, accept patches from it, or simply ignore it and allow the codebases to further diverge.
Monty Program Ab and the alliance are prepared to serve as the primary upstream source of MySQL derivative source code in the form of MariaDB, says von Finck. If Oracle ceases development entirely or maintains its version in a manner that is unpalatable to the broader MySQL community, the alliance provides a crucial safety net for users, guaranteeing that MySQL (as MariaDB) will continue to be developed in an open fashion, regardless of what Oracle does with the project.
The alliance will serve other roles, too. The member companies will share work and refer customers to each other in order to make sure that MySQL users always have access to the specific kind of commercial support that they require. Sun tried to be a one-stop shop for every kind of MySQL support, an approach that von Finck believes is not always conducive to providing uniformly high-quality service. Specialized companies, he says, are often better equipped to address the unique technical needs of individual MySQL users.
Through the alliance, MySQL users will be able to find the support companies that are best-suited to deliver the kind of service that they require, whether it's custom engineering, scalability expertise, training, or any number of other areas. The alliance will make it easier for these support companies to work together effectively. Widenius wants to keep the headcount at Monty Program Ab under 40 people, says von Finck, which means that it won't be able to do everything by itself. The growth of the alliance will help boost diversity and competition, turning MariaDB support into a vibrant industry that isn't controlled by any single dominant vendor.
Although diversity has a lot of value, the risk is that it could lead to further forking and diminish overall compatibility between versions of the software that are maintained by various companies. We have seen this happen in the Linux distribution space, where variance between distros has detracted from interoperability and created significant portability challenges. von Finck believes that such problems can largely be averted—or at least reduced—-in the MySQL community by offering a high level of transparency and inclusiveness in the upstream environment.
He contends that Sun didn't always maintain good relations with the development community outside of the company, forcing third-party developers to make changes downstream. The alliance will strive to make sure that third-parties have direct access to the people building relevant parts of MariaDB's architecture so that their needs can be accommodated and compatibility can be maintained. Offering a more transparent and accessible upstream environment will reduce the barriers to entry that often compel people to create forks, von Finck explains.
The MySQL relational database system is arguably one of the most important pieces of open source server software in existence. There are millions of active deployments, and it used to power some of the most popular websites on the Internet. The Open Database Alliance has the potential to take MySQL to the next level by making MariaDB more open and community-driven. The group will also provide much-needed leadership and a unified front for moving the project forward and into independence, ending the doubt created by Oracle's pending acquisition of Sun. | http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2009/05/open-database-alliance-hedges-against-oracle-plans-for-mysql/?comments=1 |
Onapsis announced the general availability of support for SAP SuccessFactors in the Onapsis platform.
The new support enables customers to quickly discover, assess, prioritize, and eliminate SAP SuccessFactors’ misconfigurations, vulnerabilities and authorization issues that can put sensitive data and processes at risk while also potentially impacting the interconnected enterprise.
As organizations modernize human resource initiatives, they distribute sensitive employee and company information across a mix of on-premises and cloud applications. This transformation can create new security and compliance challenges that increase fraud and data privacy risks. The Onapsis platform for SAP SuccessFactors is purpose-built to help HR IT, IT operations, information security, and audit and compliance teams get a complete view of cyberrisk across the entire application environment both on premises and in the cloud.
By using the solution’s monitoring, automation, security, and reporting capabilities, enterprises can identify all the SuccessFactors instances managed by the organization and understand the best practices for configuring authorization and access control for the solution, ensuring proper segregation of duties and least privileged access to mitigate risk. Customers can also establish cybersecurity and compliance benchmarks to continually assess SuccessFactors configurations policies to identify configuration mistakes and authorization issues and understand the scope and risk of interconnected systems, and proactively identify and prioritize issues to fix based on fraud, privacy and confidentiality impact across SuccessFactors, SaaS, cloud, hybrid, and on-premises mission-critical application environments.
Onapsis has a long-standing relationship with SAP. The Onapsis platform was recently named an SAP Endorsed App, joining a new category of solutions from SAP’s partner ecosystem that help customers become intelligent enterprises.

This article was written by Anne Sunday and originally appeared at myfamilysurvivalplan.
While my heart goes out to all the Americans affected by hurricane Sandy, this will clearly not be an article about the “Frankenstorm”. And that`s because every news channel, radio station and newspaper in the world (including the online ones) are covering this disaster minute by minute. And they`re doing a great job.
So I`m not going to try to compete with them, but I`m not going to write on a comfortable subject, either. In fact, it`s about the fastest growing crime of the century: identity theft.
In case you haven`t watched the video, here`s what it was all about: a hacker entered the Department of Revenue system and stole over 75% of South Carolina social security numbers and 387,000 credit and debit card numbers.
Now, I know a brilliant kid with a super computer can break into the NASA system if he wants to. And there`s pretty much nothing anyone can do about it, but arrest him after he`s done playing and/or thank him for showing them all their security problems. But this is not exactly the case here.
You see, this hacker entered South Carolina’s Department of Revenue system three times (!) before the Secret Service noticed the breach, on October, 10. That left the hacker a good two months` time to steal all the data he pleased.
He made his first visit in August, when he just “snooped in” to see what goodies he can find. He came back twice in September, when he “filled his shopping cart” with all the social security numbers he could snatch plus a whole load of credit and debit card numbers.
source: rt.com
According to rt.com, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley was extremely worried about this incident and said it “requires an unprecedented, large-scale response by the Department of Revenue, the State of South Carolina and all our citizens”.
I don`t know if that was supposed to be comforting for the identity theft victims, since the Secret Service decided it was a good idea to keep the incident a secret until October, 27. After all, the only thing at stake was 3,6 million lives. No biggy.
And if it only were the first time it something like this happens. But earlier this year, one of Utah`s health department was hacked and over 900 000 people were victims of identity theft. According to Spyware Help Center, “these health files include such personal data as: full names, addresses, birth dates and Social Security numbers”.
source: spywarehelpcenter.com
According to recent studies, the fastest growing crime in USA makes about 15 million victims annually, with total financial losses reaching $50 billion. Also, as identitytheft.com reports, almost 100 million Americans have their personal identification data at risk, due to major security problems (or total lack of security).
If you were to write down all the systems that stock your personal information (banks, health systems, governmental departments and so on), you`d immediately realise that your life is out on the table, for hackers to snack on.
And what I find absolutely despicable: their favorite victims are children. An All Clear ID study estimates that 1 in 10 US children are victims of identity theft, but they usually only realise it when they go to college or apply for their first loan. In most cases, they discover they`ve got some huge debt to pay, even though they`ve never bought anything expensive in their lives. And by expensive I mean cars, houses and luxury holidays. Obviously, hackers don`t steal other people`s personal data to buy grocery.
In the past years, there`s been an explosion of identity theft protection services. You can find the best systems compared and reviewed here, if you`re interested. But here`s the thing: as long as public services, such as health care systems or the Department of Revenue don`t fix their security problems, our trials to protect ourselves and our kids will most likely be in vain.
As About.com very well puts it, “high technology will continue to grow as a risk for the average consumer. Mobile technologies like our cell phones and tablet computers are expected to continue to move forward faster than the protections for them.”
And that applies to data systems, too. Although there is one tiny difference: our data systems do not evolve at all, while hackers find new and more efficient ways to steal information and use it against American citizens. Other than that, we`re living the American dream, as usual. | https://www.pakalertpress.com/identity-theft-how-many-yous-are-there/ |

IT and compliance executives are not on the same page when it comes to cloud security.
You might intuitively conclude that most compliance officers would be more skeptical of cloud computing than IT professionals. But a new study of 18,750 individuals in the IT and IT security fields and another 11,569 individuals in various organizational compliance functions conducted by The Ponemon Institute on behalf of Vormetric, a provider of encryption and database security tools, shows that it's the IT professional who has more doubts about cloud security.
According to Todd Thiemann, senior director of product marketing for Vormetric, the study highlights the dichotomy that exists between two key constituencies that have a vested interest in cloud security. Some folks argue that cloud computing is inherently more secure than on-premise computing because the data that needs to be secured is centrally managed by IT security professionals. Others argue that it's the centralization of all that data that makes cloud computing providers a tempting target. And given the fact that there is no "silver bullet" security defense when it comes to IT, it's only a matter of time before major security breaches occur.
Thiemann says that no matter what side of the argument you're on, it is clear companies need to invest more in securing their data, not just network perimeters. The good news is that encryption software is getting easier to manage, and the tools needed to secure the data more pervasive. The real challenge is that too many organizations essentially limit their cloud security investments to firewalls and anti-virus software. Once hackers get past those defenses, most of the data in the organization is wide open for the taking unless it's encrypted.
Obviously, government regulators are getting more demanding about security in general, which means any data stored in the public cloud is probably going to come under a more strenuous review. Given the fact that the fines being levied for data breaches are getting stiffer, while at the same time consumers are becoming more conscious of how these issues are directly affecting them, it's only a matter of time before the cost of not encrypting data starts to exceed the cost of encrypting the data in the first place. | https://www.itbusinessedge.com/cm/blogs/vizard/cloud-security-is-in-the-eye-of-the-beholder/?cs=49108 |
I recently attended the Bank Directors Association of Nigeria (BDAN) Conference, 2019, on Cyber Security. It was a fascinating discussion with an excellent keynote address by Joseph Tegbe, KPMG Nigeria Technology Advisory Partner and Head of Markets, on “Cyber Security: The Role of Boards.” Here are some of the facts that he shared.
Everything is connected in the digital age. There are no longer perimeters to a bank, country, or continent. With the surge in the growth of technology, more than half the world’s population, some 4.3 billion people, are connected on the internet.
By 2020, 21 billion “things” will be connected; from phones, music, lighting, cars, cameras, home appliances, etc. We no longer exist in isolation. Technology and innovation are accelerating and being disrupted every day. One must thus be proactive about taking steps to try to secure your business, or at least reduce vulnerability from attacks. This one of the greatest risks we face today.
Are you aware of the threats and cyber risks that you face as an individual in your personal finances? Cybersecurity is crucial now for everyone who is using a computer, and there is a necessity to make sure we are being careful with our personal and financial information. Have you ever thought about your digital footprint? The integration of smartphones in both personal and professional lives has made us more vulnerable than ever; we are walking around with our most sensitive information literally at the click of a button. It is time to seriously consider the implications of leaving your personal data exposed. It is worrying if you aren’t techy to even begin to try to wrap your head around what is at stake. The good news is that there are some steps you can take to protect your self. Here are a few:
Password or passphrase
Are your smartphones, laptop and other devices password protected? If your password or PIN [Personal Identification Number] is compromised, this could lead to devastating losses should unscrupulous people gain access to your financial information. Do not share your passwords or PINs with anyone. If you might forget them and need to write them down, then store them securely. Better still, a password manager tool will help you remember them.
Reusing the same password for everything puts you at extremely high risk of being hacked. Change your passwords and PIN numbers periodically, and use different codes for different accounts. We are so used to passwords, including letters, numbers, symbols, etc., and for our own comfort we tend to use easy to remember words, family birthdays, pets names, etc. They are so easy to decipher. Be creative about your choice of passwords and PIN numbers.
Passphrases are much more difficult for hackers to breach. Consider using easy to remember passphrases that are unique to you.
Social media is a constant in our lives. How much of your personal information is out there? What are you posting? In our world of social media, with Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, it seems so natural to put seemingly innocent information about yourself and your family out there. Geo-tagged photos inform people exactly where you are; this could expose you and your family to crime.
When you use the Internet or your mobile devices for texting, emailing and social media, you leave behind a detailed history of interactions that can often be permanent: your digital footprint. Of course, you want to keep your friends and community updated with what you are doing, but be conscious and careful not to reveal sensitive information inadvertently.
It is generally safer to use your own computer for your financial transactions. If a private Wi-Fi network isn’t an option, try using a personal hotspot through your phone; it is a far more secure way to be online. If you are travelling and must get online in a public space, such as an airport or cyber café, be particularly careful about sensitive transactions as your information could be compromised.
If you must use a public computer, be sure to clear your “history” before you log out, otherwise, other users can intercept your information. Free wireless internet “hotspots” are often not at all secure. Use secure websites for your transactions; the address will usually start with “https,” and there is a key or closed padlock in the status bar.
It can’t happen to me.
We often exist in a state of oblivion to the dangers that surround us, and that such things happen to “other” people. Hackers are everywhere and may well be attempting to get into your system as you read this. You don’t want to have to endure the painful experience of being a victim of fraud or identity theft in which personal documents are stolen and the data is used fraudulently. Your financial information is very personal and must be carefully protected. In today’s “virtual” world, we are much more vulnerable than ever, and must be more vigilant in securing our hard earned money.
There is no guarantee that your financial information will be completely secure even if you put all these measures in place. However, with knowledge, you certainly stand a better chance of limiting access to sensitive information and protecting your personal finances from fraudsters. | https://www.bellanaija.com/2019/04/money-matters-with-nimi-cyber-security/ |
The central office of the CSF is located in Helsinki at Unioninkatu 22, in premises owned by the property company Sponda. The office space covers 1 215 m2. The CSF management, financial, data and general administration, health department and communications unit, as well as the Cancer Foundation’s communications and fundraising department, the Finnish Cancer Registry and the Mass Screening Registry all operate from the central office.
The spatial arrangement is safe in terms of occupational health and safety, and the use of space is convenient and efficient. The modern business premises can be easily adapted to the needs of the various units.
The CSF’s data management deals with the data systems services and coordinates the organisation’s procurement and development projects related to data systems. The task of the IT team is to provide services for registration and mass screening activities and to support research activities. The IT team develops and maintains applications that support operational activities and the electronic cancer notification form. It is also responsible for the Cancer Registry’s data resources. The data management services are also target-ed at support services for the CSF. Some of the data management services also concern the Cancer Registry’s registration work and supporting research activity.
Data management as a strategic policy utilises external purchasing services to support our organization if required. This enables challenging technical projects to be implemented cost-effectively and expertly.
During 2019, the introduction of Windows 10 for workstations was completed. We also switched to a leasing model for the purchase of workstations and telephone equipment. This enables efficient work tools that are suitable for their intended use and the introduction of a responsible life cycle approach.
During the year, we joined the Finnish University and Research Network (Funet) community. We got a fast and stable Internet connection and access to the Centre for Science’s (CSC) high-performance computing cost-effectively. With the introduction of the Funet Internet connection, network monitoring was intensified and related equipment was upgraded.
We developed intranet manageability and monitoring as part of the development of infor-mation security. This work will also continue in 2020 with the upgrade of the intranet’s active devices.
An enterprise resource planning system (Järkkäri) was deployed in nine member associations in 2018. In 2019, the system was introduced in three new associations, increasing the total number of associations using the system to 12. A steering group was set up to support the system’s operations, which will continue to design and develop the system. The system is constantly being developed and over the past year a few major upgrades and numerous mi-nor improvements have been made to the system. During 2020, the system will get a new look with the upgrading of the user interface.
Data protection and security
The CSF is subject to the document processing, classification and data security requirements that apply to government authorities (Government Decree on Information Security in Central Government 681/2010, the so-called Decree on Infor-mation Security). Personal data were processed in accordance with the Personal Data Act (523/1999) insofar as it did not conflict with the General Data Protection Regulation (679/2016) and the Data Protection Act (1050/2018).
The CSF and its employees are jointly responsible for working safely in terms of data protection and security. At the CSF, data protection and security are handled by the data protection officer, the data security manager, a person consulting technical data security and a data security group dealing with data protection and data security issues.
The data protection officer and the data security manager started to familiarise new employees with data protection and data security issues using a presentation that is constantly being updated. Twenty-three employees participated in the orientation events held in March and October 2019. An event was held for all employees to present a new security room table, updated encrypted email usage instructions, and a security breach notification form. The ground rules for the use of Teams were also agreed upon.
The data security incident response process has been redone, and now includes a communications perspective. The risk phishing was reduced by moving to a two-step login process.
The obligations imposed by the General Data Protection Regulation have been implemented by continuing to inform data subjects about their rights and the processing of their personal data in personal registers. Data protection agreements were concluded for the processing of personal data outsourced to subcontractors. The Cancer Registry’s second data audit was published. Member associations were advised on data protection issues. | https://www.cancersociety.fi/publications/reports/cancer-society-annual-report-2019/administration-data-management-and-data-security/ |
Recently, a lot of users have brought to our attention that they experience issues with their computers, because of some suspicious browser extension, called SpecialSearchOffer. We’ve decided to run a thorough inspection and check this web browser extension SpecialSearchOffer and we found out, that the SpecialSearchOffer extension was classified as a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) and/or an Adware by the majority of the reputable malware researchers on the Internet. Some additional tests have shown, that the SpecialSearchOffer extension is indeed using many Adware related techniques, in order to enhance the online revenue of its owner. Furthermore, our experts concluded, that the SpecialSearchOffer adware is capable of taking over various systems and to monitor and collect various private browsing data. The SpecialSearchOffer Adware is distributed using various suspicious or even dangerous software bundles, that are set by default to use either silent or stealth install and to basically install the adware without users’ consent. That’s why our security experts are strongly recommending all users to avoid using or installing the SpecialSearchOffer and if it is already active on your system to stop using it asap and to run a full system malware scan, using an up-to-date, reputable and reliable anti-malware application, like the SpyHunter.
SpecialSearchOffer comes packed with some other popular “ad-supported” freeware together in these software bundles. These software bundles are often only applications, which download software from the Internet and are set by default to perform silent or stealth installs, if the user accepts the bundle’s EULA and didn’t opted-out the express/recommended install, the computer system will be often overtaken from the suspicious applications packed into the software bundle installer. The possible distribution of the SpecialSearchOffer varies but is not limited to – suspicious download sites, 3rd party toolbars, free PDF editors, free Video editors, free converters, free Video downloads, infected e-mail attachments, suspicious torrents etc.
SpecialSearchOffer might also be used to keep track of your browsing activity and could be easily set to monitor and collect all kind of valuable browser information, including private data like search terms, search result URL, browser history, email addresses, account credentials including username & password, cookies, financial information like bank accounts, credit card numbers etc. Later, the collected data will be either sold or shared with some other 3rd party companies, that will use it for their own marketing purposes. In general, our security experts strongly recommend all users to avoid leaving active or installed such applications and recommend to terminate and/or remove them immediately, as for them this represents a serious threat to the online identity and computer safety and security.
! Please note that these kinds of infections could potentially bring up other malware to your computer and even cause loss of data. We strongly recommend you to not underestimate such threats.

Thats what I see. 70-291 is mostly about configuring the server. The 293 is about configuring a network, so all of that server configuration is going to come back again.
Of course, it isn't that easy. You have a lot of the 291 material again (which isn't easy) plus some new concepts that are difficult. Right now my biggest struggle is with keeping the foot on the gas rather than the difficulty of the material. | https://community.infosecinstitute.com/discussion/57232/similarity |
Vectra AI has formed a new partnership with Baidam Solutions.
This partnership provides First Nations’ people with scholarships, a full education and technical skills to combat the rise in cyberattacks against businesses, government and infrastructure.
A year ago, the International Information System Security Certification Consortium, (ISC) found that although 2.8 million security professionals were working worldwide, another 4 million are still needed to close the cybersecurity skills gap. And the gap has grown wider since the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We encourage more Indigenous people to enter the growing cybersecurity field through this partnership. This ultimately helps organisations across Australia build a stronger security infrastructure and protect critical data and assets from attackers,” says Vectra Asia-Pacific partner alliances head Dee Clinton.
Vectra stops data breaches by applying AI to detect and respond to hidden cyberattack behaviours inside cloud, data centre, IoT, and enterprise networks.
It increases security operations efficiency up to 90% by automatically identifying and prioritising in-progress cyberattacks that pose the highest risk.
Baidam Solutions CEO and Founder Phillip Jenkinson says that the partnership with Vectra will enable customers to significantly reduce their cyber risk, whilst supporting greater Indigenous participation in the ICT cyber economy.
Baidam Solutions dedicates a significant percentage of its profits toward providing pathways to employment in the ICT security sector for First Nations’ people through a program called the Baidam Initiative.
It works closely with federal, state and enterprise customers to help them achieve successful business outcomes and meet their Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) goals.
“Another current commitment under the Baidam Initiative is to dramatically increase Indigenous and Torres Strait Islanders’ involvement in the Australian information security sector,” says Jenkinson.
“We will do this through our university Indigenous STEM scholarship programs and our ICT cyber industry certification funding. This in turn will create more inclusive, capable and diverse role models that our sector needs and will drive our national economy forward.”
Clinton said the impact of COVID-19 has presented many security challenges, particularly for those responsible with protecting businesses in an increasingly dangerous threat landscape.
“We need to attract and retain more people to help navigate an increasingly risky landscape, understand advances in AI-driven cybersecurity and meet regulatory demands fueled by the pandemic,” said Clinton.
The average amount of time an undetected cyberattacker can dwell inside a network is 49-150 days, according to the 2020 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report.
This gives attackers plenty of time to spy, spread and steal. And according to Gartner, data exfiltration techniques and tactics were successful 67% of the time.
Clinton added that data breaches in Microsoft Office 365 SaaS deployments are a major concern for many organisations today.
Each month, 30% of organisations suffer from Office 365 account takeovers by cyberattackers, despite using multifactor authentication, email security, data loss prevention, cloud access security brokers, and other security measures.
Once attackers gain an initial foothold in Office 365, they move laterally between Azure AD and Office 365 accounts in search of assets to steal. Vectra research shows that 96% of 4 million Office 365 customer accounts exhibited lateral movement attack behaviours and 93% displayed malicious command-and-control behaviours. | https://itbrief.com.au/story/vectra-and-baidam-to-offer-cybersecurity-scholarships-for-indigenous-peoples |
Washington, May 11 (ANI): Scientists at Weill Cornell Medical College have shed light on a previously unrecognised aspect of fatty acid metabolism in tuberculosis (TB) that could potentially lead to new targets for drug therapy.
Led by Dr. Sabine Ehrt, the researchers said that Mtb-a slow-growing aerobic bacterium that causes TB-relies primarily on gluconeogenic substrates for in vivo growth and persistence.
In addition, they said that phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) plays a pivotal role in the growth and survival of Mtb during infections in mice, making PEPCK a potential target for drugs that fight tuberculosis.
The researchers found a way to silence the gene encoding PEPCK in Mtb during mouse infections to assess the importance of gluconeogenesis for Mtb’s ability to maintain a chronic infection.
“Silencing a gene when the pathogen is not or only slowly replicating, after an infection has established, is an important tool for studying diseases such as TB, which can be dormant for years only to become active again years later,” said Ehrt, the lead author on the paper.
She and her team investigate the role of the macrophage in the immune response to Mtb and the molecular mechanisms used by the pathogen to establish and maintain persistent infections.
Ehrt aimed to validate novel drug targets that may facilitate the development of new therapies against active and chronic TB.
“Tuberculosis is very difficult to treat. It is especially challenging as the infection can lay dormant in the body even though there are no symptoms. We investigated the metabolic requirements of Mtb during acute and chronic infections and found that the gluconeogenic enzyme PEPCK is critical for both,” said Erht.
The study used a novel mass spectrometry-based metabolic profiling tool, developed at Weill Cornell by Dr. Kyu Rhee to biochemically examine Mtb carbon metabolism.
The tool has provided the first direct insights into the metabolic architecture of Mtb.
Ehrt hopes that her work will eventually lead to new drug therapies to treat tuberculosis.
“Although the current treatments we have to treat Mtb are effective, the treatment times are too long and the regimens too complex. This leads to treatment failures, due to poor adherence and multidrug resistance. We need new, safer drugs that work faster to eliminate tuberculosis,” she said. | http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/health/study-sheds-light-on-metabolic-vulnerability-in-tb-and-potential-drug-target_100361783.html |

to require the subject hold both fixated and holding a lever(set as button1) during the time setted(quite short, 300-700msec).
The crash doesn't happen often(mostly it works perfect), and I couldn't repeat the crash situation unfortunately.
However, I can repeat this crash problem if I use the old version MonkeyLogic--- if i release the lever in the required hold time once but pull it soon, like as fast as i can.
Thank you for letting me know this. I think I figured out what happened. Your detailed description helped a lot.
When you release the lever, the 'holdtouch' requirement is not fulfilled, so eyejoytrack returns early. However, if the eye fixation is not broken, the ontarget status of 'holdfix' remains as 1. This makes ML think that the 'holdfix' succeeded and try to adjust the eye drift. But, if the trial ended immediately after the eyejoytrack, there is no actual eye signal recorded for the given duration due to the early return and the drift correction mechanism fails.
So there are a couple of conditions to be met simultaneously, for this to happen.
1) Eye fixation should be held when the lever is released.
2) The auto drift correction should be turned on.
3) The trial should be aborted immediately when the eyejoytrack returns.

detector response. It is required to turn on the photodiode trigger and assign the photodiode signal to an analog input channel, to use this tool.
The detailed instructions of how to use the tool is in the following link.
I have a problem with the editable() function.
for example, I defined 2 conditions in the condition file Fixation.txt
But ML2 would only recognize what were sclaimed in script HT.m, the FIX.m was ignored. Besides even I changed the editable variables of HT in "Edit timing file variables" option in control screen, and stored to the cfg2.mat, they would become original value that were defined in HT.m.
I found a solution that is to copy the same part of sclaiming editable variables and giving them values in FIX.m to HT.m. ML2 would recognize them, and change values in "Edit timing file variables" option could take effect. However, the stored values would be overwritten to original ones when next session starts.
I just begins to use ML2, that would work fine in ML1.
Let me think about how to make this work neatly.
A quick fix is to just define the same variables and register them with editable() in both scripts. Thank you for reporting this, Herrick. I am aware of this problem. I meant to fix it someday but forgot to do so. In other words, list all of them in both scripts and put all of them to editable() in both scripts.
Usually (1) appeared first, then I tried to run anther session to see what would happen without restarting ML2 and Matlab, (2) would appear.
I thought it may be related to the memory and found at that time if I hit the button on the menu to test subject screen, it showed somthing about "out of memory" in the matlab. And I check MaxPossibleArrayBytes in the end of every trial and observed it constantly drop 32MB from 1850MB until run out. That was the time ML2 crashed. However, if I change to block which just use static stimuli and ran less than 100 trials, the values kept changing in a range of 10MB and showed no sign of dramatic memory consumption.
I was so confused and tested the same experiment on an x64-win10 computer with both 32-bit &64-bit Matlab R2015b installed. It was found out that large memory consumption in task using movie stimuli just happened to 32-bit Matlab. 64-bit Matlab consumed 40MB during 50 trials, but it would release some now and again. Should I change to use 64-bit Matlab or there's any way to fix it? | http://forums.monkeylogic.org/post/nimh-monkeylogic-2-8444337?trail=200 |

Increase in cybercrimes has created a need for more internet security experts across different regions.
At present, many technology and service providers are helping companies safeguard their internet presence. Certain trends that internet security market is observing includes organizations coming under blame, the rise of dangerous smartphone applications and sudden rise in the counts of cyber criminals continuously harnessing the capabilities of social medial. Research analysts at Allied Market Research assessing the growth rate, share and size and trends outlined that the sector has tracked a tremendous increase in malware, with trends targeting Android phones. When downloaded onto mobile phones, criminals easily gain access to important information, which is then misused without owners knowing it.
Off late, banks are also seen reimbursing the end-users who fall prey to online crimes. Some banks are planning to incentivize their end- users who not only fail to improve their passwords but also update their anti-virus software. In a recent interview Bernard Hogan-Howe, metropolitan police commissioner said “If you are continually rewarded for bad behaviour you will probably continue to do it but if the obverse is true you might consider changing behaviour," he told the broadsheet. Echoing his sentiments, he said “The system is not incentivising you to protect yourself. If someone said to you, ‘If you’ve not updated your software I will give you half back,’ you would do it.” Another news revealed that China is focusing on introducing an extensive internet security, corruption and anti-terrorism co-operation with the U.S. Bitdefender, a popular internet security solution provider based in Romania has launched an innovative plan for the Bangladesh market. It would soon be offering internet security for personal computer at Tk.1/- per day.
Eyeing the major development in the sector, Allied Market Research has added a report titled “World Internet Security Market - Opportunities and Forecast, 2014 - 2020.” The study weighs up on the growth rate, share and size and trends in the industry.

Over the past few years medical sensors have become smaller. The MEMS (or Microelectrical-mechanical systems) have been popular in medical equipment, from stents to chemosensor. Even the capsule endoscopy systems comes with a miniature camera as well as radio technologies. These systems captures the images of human digestive tract from the inside. Latest discoveries in the data analytics, material science and equipment engineering collectively promise a much smaller and modish sensor.
The recent development in miniaturization assures biocompatibility. Medical experts believe that the smaller the system, the less likely it would interfere with the immune mechanism. This is true for capsule endoscopy used to take images of the entire gastrointestinal tract.
