the importance for all businesses to (a) exercise due diligence in selecting vendors that will have access to their employee/human resources data, and (b) confirm via contract and otherwise that the vendors have reasonable security measures in place (as to both the products being offered and the vendor’s own business where the HR data will be maintained).
The Charges: In the two cases at issue, the HR service providers both incurred data breaches resulting in compromised employee information (e.g., employee names, addresses, social security numbers, dates of birth, direct deposit information). According to the FTC complaints:
Ceridian (a payroll and human resource services provider) operated a web-based payroll processing service for small business customers. The FTC’s allegations focused on the vendor’s practice of storing the HR PII in plain text and indefinitely without a business need, remaining vulnerable to predictable SQL injection attacks, and not employing measures to detect and prevent unauthorized access to the PII. As a result, the FTC alleged the company lacked adequate network protections and mishandled its customers’ employee information, resulting in a data breach that affected 28,000 employees of its small business customers.
Lookout Services, Inc. markets a web-based compliance product for employers who need to maintain citizenship information about its employees. The FTC’s allegations charged that the vendor failed to implement reasonable security safeguards, including the absence of reasonable security policies, inadequate passwords and user credentials, and an insecure web application, resulting in a data breach to the company’s database that retained 37,000 social security numbers.
The Settlements: Under the settlements, Ceridian and Lookout Services must implement comprehensive information security programs that need to be independently audited every other year for 20 years. Additionally, the companies are barred from misrepresenting the privacy, confidentiality, and integrity of the personal information that they maintain in their systems. Violations of an FTC Order can subject a company to up to $16,000 per violation. | https://www.adlawaccess.com/2011/05/articles/new-ftc-data-breach-cases-focus-on-hr-service-providers-safeguarding-employee-data/ |

Every six months, Earth’s biggest supercomputers have a giant race to see which can lay claim to being the world’s fastest high-performance computing cluster.
In the latest Top 500 Supercomputer Sites list unveiled Monday morning, a newly assembled cluster built with IBM hardware at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) takes the top prize. Its speed? A whopping 16.32 petaflops, or 16 thousand trillion calculations per second. With 96 racks, 98,304 compute nodes, 1.6 million cores, and 1.6 petabytes of memory across 4,500 square feet, the IBM Blue Gene/Q system installed at LLNL overtakes the 10-petaflop, 705,000-core “K computer” in Japan's RIKEN Advanced Institute for Computational Science.
The Japanese computer had been world’s fastest twice in a row. Before that, the top spot was held by a Chinese system. The DOE computer, named “Sequoia,” was delivered to LLNL between January and April. It's the first US system to be ranked #1 since November 2009.
To get to 16 petaflops, Sequoia ran the Linpack benchmark for 23 hours without a single core failing, LLNL division leader Kim Cupps told Ars Friday in advance of the list’s release. The system is capable of hitting more than 20 petaflops—during the tests it ran at 81 percent efficiency.
“For a machine with 1.6 million cores to run for over 23 hours six weeks after the last rack arrived on our floor is nothing short of amazing,” she said.
The cluster is extremely efficient for one so large, with 7,890 kilowatts of power, compared to 12,659 kilowatts for the second-best K Computer. It’s primarily cooled by water running through tiny copper pipes encircling the node cards. Each card holds 32 chips, with each chip having 16 cores.
Sequoia's architecture. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
The entire cluster is Linux-based. Compute Node Linux is run on nearly 98,000 nodes, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux runs on 768 I/O nodes which connect to the file system, Cupps said.
To start, the cluster is on a relatively open network, allowing many scientists to use it. But after IBM’s debugging process is over around February 2013, the cluster will be moved to a classified network that isn’t open to academics or outside organizations. At that point, it will be devoted almost exclusively to simulations aimed at extending the lifespan of nuclear weapons.
“The kind of science we need to do is lifetime extension programs for nuclear weapons,” Cupps said. “That requires suites of codes running. What we’re able to do on this machine is to run large numbers of calculations simultaneously on the machine. You can turn many knobs in a short amount of time.”
Blue Gene/Q uses a PowerPC architecture that includes hardware support for transactional memory, allowing more extensive real-world testing of technology.
In November 2011's Top 500 list, three of the top five clusters used NVIDIA GPUs (graphics processing units) in combination with CPUs to achieve very high speeds. This time around, only one of the top five integrates GPUs, although the overall number in the Top 500 integrating GPUs or similar accelerators rose from 39 to 58.
The use of GPUs in supercomputing tends to be experimental so far, said Dave Turek, IBM vice president of high performance computing. “The objective of this is to do real science,” he said. GPUs are a bit more difficult to program for, he said.
While the majority of Top 500 computers use Ethernet or Infiniband as their primary interconnects, Sequoia uses IBM’s proprietary 5D Torus. It's an optical network that provides 40 Gbps throughput to IBM’s Blue Gene/Q clusters. I/O nodes are connected to the file system via Infiniband and the management network uses Ethernet, Cupps said.
IBM leads the Top 500 list with 213 systems, ahead of HP’s 138. Nearly 80 percent—372 of the 500 systems—use Intel processors, followed by 63 using AMD Operton and 58 using IBM Power.
Three DOE systems are in the top 10. The rest hail from Japan, Germany, China, Italy, and France. All 10 have performance of at least at least 1.27 petaflops.
Petascale computers have become relatively commonplace since the IBM Roadrunner system at Los Alamos National Laboratory was the first to hit a petaflop in 2008. In fact, each of the top 20 systems on the new list hit at least a petaflop. Exascale, which would be 1,000 times faster, is the next big breakthrough for the IBMs, HPs, and Crays of the world to aspire to.
But a big advance in price-performance is necessary. Today’s technology could scale up a lot higher—it just wouldn’t be practical. Supercomputers are naturally expensive (even more expensive than the new MacBook Pro). The K Computer in Japan, for example, cost more than $1 billion to build and $10 million to operate each year. Livermore told us it spent roughly $250 million on Sequoia.
“We could get another order of magnitude with this technology if someone would write a check,” Turek said. “But no one would want to write that check.”

There’s a war going on in our computers and networks. It’s a silent, invisible war. It’s fierce and continues to escalate.
The bad guys are winning. They are aggressive, hard-working, learning, inventing and focused on the goal of making money. The large army of the good guys is led by hapless, incompetent, unmotivated bureaucrats with meaningless certifications in this or that, consumed by building an audit trail showing that they’ve followed the ever-growing body of useless regulations so that when the nearly-inevitable security disaster happens, they can prove it wasn’t their fault. It’s clearly not a fair fight.
The security war isn’t like a war between nations. It’s more like a sprawling collection of gated communities infiltrated and attacked by myriad bands of criminal groups who break in, rob valuables and sometimes take hostages for ransom. The communities spend more money every year building walls that are higher and stronger and hiring ever more highly trained security people. Governments have multiple departments whose purpose is to stop the criminals directly and to help the communities better defend themselves.
Every year the money spent to prevent cyber-crime goes up, and every year the amount of illicit goods the criminals make off with goes up. The criminals are almost never caught. The problem is clearly not that the communities aren’t spending enough money. The problem is that the defenders don’t know much about computers and are going through the motions while the attackers are going for the gold, i.e. bitcoin.
Hardly anyone, including certified computer professionals with academic degrees, understands what goes on inside computers. They attempt to secure computers using ineffective methods that sound impressive but which they themselves don’t understand. They take great pains to do fancy-sounding things that sound impressive but make no difference.
I have explained the details of the massive hack of Equifax hacking by comparing Equifax EFX security in the computer world to a car dealership’s security in the physical world. Translating invisible computer events to common sense physical things can help anyone understand what this cybersecurity war is all about. In this article I’ll attempt to explain what computer-style security would look like if it were applied to a gated community.
The people who build the walls that protect the outer perimeter of the community are proud of their work. In some places they even have walls inside walls!
If the walls were built like computer “walls” are built, you’d see that the walls are a patchwork of wall segments designed at different times by different vendors using very different materials and designs and are shipped with so many flaws that they need frequent upgrades. The people in charge of computer wall installation and maintenance rarely stay on top of the never-ending flow of patches and corrections and apply them haphazardly, if at all. The result is that all the savvy criminal has to do is jump on a vulnerability the second the manufacturer announces it and probe all the walls. It’s not hard – a large fraction of wall maintainers leave gaping holes unpatched for months or even years. Shazam! The criminal is inside the community.
The entrance to the gated community is a gate with a 24x7 guard checking the ID of everyone who enters against the list of people who are permitted to enter. The guard permits no exceptions.
The people who live in gated communities want lots of people to come to their homes and do things for them. They call in and have the person added to the list. The service person comes to the gate, shows ID and is allowed to enter. Maybe they go to the house of the person who wanted them, but there’s no one to stop them going to other houses and doing whatever they feel like, just like a criminal who snuck through the flawed outer wall. Computer programs who “knock on the doors” of heavily guarded computers do the same thing, often with stolen ID’s.
The houses in the community are built securely, with locks on their doors and windows, so that even if a criminal manages to get inside the community, they can’t rob the house.
In the computer world the houses and their exterior walls (servers, operating systems and applications) are built by the same kind of hodge-podge of vendors that build the exterior fences that protect the community. Houses are supplied by a variety of huge vendors using complicated methods and materials. It’s extremely rare that a house is installed without flaws – the builder will usually claim that it’s flawless, but then will come a stream of patches that need to be applied to the house with varying levels of urgency. A diligent clever criminal can go around probing houses for flaws that have yet to be discovered or repaired by the original manufacturer; a lazy criminal can just wait until the flaws are announced and probe specifically for the known flaws, confident that most homeowners won’t bother to apply the corrections.
People in the community want service workers to come to their homes when they’re out to do jobs like cleaning. It’s a huge convenience to have that guard at the gate checking ID to make sure only authorized people are let in. The guard can also loan the authorized person a spare key so they can enter the house and do the work they’ve been asked to do.
In the computer world the criminal enters with a fake ID and gets a “key” which usually gives you permission to enter many “houses,” where you can do whatever you want – mess things up, steal things, etc. You can even change the “locks” and scramble things up (encrypt them) so badly that the house can’t be used. Imagine that the frying pan is stored under the hats in the coat closet and all the cooking knives scattered inside pieces of clothing in every room. How would you feel about cooking?
As in many high-class gated communities, mail service to the house is provided. Of course, only an authorized mail person is let in the gate in his truck that contains all the mail and packages to be delivered.
In the computer world, homeowners aren’t careful about opening their “mail,” and sometimes packages they open contain invisible little criminal robots that immediately scurry out of the homeowner’s sight, pull out their cell phones and start communicating with criminal HQ. They run around the house and send out all the private information about the people who live there, including ID’s. They’re RAT’s (remote-access trojans) and result from what are called phishing attacks in email. Most homeowners aren’t able to resist opening infected emails of this kind. Sometimes the RAT’s make copies of themselves and send them to neighbors’ homes, spreading the problem.
Some security-minded people in the gated community protect themselves by installing cameras and other security devices so they’re alerted any time a person enters their house when they’re not there.
In the computer world, tracking activities inside the house is extremely rare; detecting unusual activity and sending alerts when it’s detected is almost unheard-of. The criminal computer invader is free to take his time while sending copies of all the valuable information in the house of the gated community to criminal HQ. If the criminal feels like it, he can massively scramble the contents of the house to make it practically unusable, maybe even putting things in locked cabinets. Then he leaves a sign on the entrance door explaining to the homeowner what he’s done and demanding a ransom to return things to normal. When the ransom is paid, nearly always in untraceable bitcoin, the house often isn’t returned to normal after all. Why is anyone surprised?
The guard at the entrance gate makes sure that moving trucks that enter have been authorized by a homeowner, and that when they leave, the homeowner has approved the exit.
In the computer world, watching what goes on inside the walls is rare. The equivalent of moving trucks can be created and endless streams of them can go through the exit of the guarded gate and no one checks.
Some homeowners are particularly concerned about the valuables inside their houses, and so they keep those valuables in an expensive, thick safe, secure from thieves.
In the computer world, data you want to protect from being stolen is encrypted “at rest.” But just like you have to take jewelry out of the safe to wear it, you have to unencrypt data to use it. Therefore the programs in the “house” that make use of valuable data use a method to access the data that unencrypts it automatically after taking it from the “safe” and before giving it to the program that needs it. When the criminal software is in the “house,” it simply uses those same programs to access any and all data that it wants, loads massive valuable data into moving trucks and sends it out the unguarded, unwatched exit gates of the gated community. The owners frequently don’t find out about the theft until months later.
Conclusion
I’m sorry to say, things in the computer world are just as bad as I have described. Cyber-security experts and regulators do little but build up the mountains of pointless, ineffective procedures and regulations to ever-growing heights, seemingly without questioning the value of their efforts. Why should they? No one else does – their highly paid jobs are secure!

An evil twin phishing attack is a type of cybercrime where attackers create fake Wi-Fi hotspots to mimic public networks, like those found in airports and coffee shops, to steal personal data.
This type of attack works because unsuspecting victims will often think they are connecting to legitimate public Wi-Fi networks that are familiar. Once connected to the evil twin network, attackers can intercept the sensitive internet data sent over by their victims.
How Does an Evil Twin Attack Work?
With an evil twin phishing attack, the attacker creates a fake access point network with a similar title to the legitimate network and tricks unsuspecting victims into connecting.
If the victim connects, their data can go through the malicious network, and the attackers can intercept it.
By impersonating an existing trusted connection, the criminal can launch other attack vectors, including email spoofing, phishing emails, and other malicious activities, to gain access to sensitive information.
Therefore, it is important to remain on alert when surfing online or logging in to websites on unsecure networks.
Stay aware that this type of attack exists.
Educate users about the risks associated with accessing public Wi-Fi networks.
Ensure secure access to corporate networks with an encryption solution.
Encourage users to pay attention to abnormal changes in URLs when logging into websites.
Implement two-factor authentication for online accounts.
Implementing these relatively straightforward protocols within an organization can have lasting effects on reducing the risk of evil twin phishing attacks.
PSK: Preventing an evil twin phishing attack starts with using a solid pre-shared key (PSK). A PSK is a secret code that is shared between two or more parties to authenticate each other.
WIPS: A wireless intrusion prevention system, or WIPS, is a network security system that monitors and analyzes wireless traffic to detect and prevent attacks. A WIPS can help identify and block evil twin attacks by detecting unauthorized access points and identifying suspicious activity.
VPN: A virtual private network, or VPN, creates a secure, encrypted connection between a computer and the VPN server. This connection makes it difficult for anyone on the same network to intercept data or impersonate a user online.
Final Thoughts
Evil twin phishing attacks are becoming increasingly common as malicious actors attempt to take advantage of more people who work in places with public Wi-Fi networks.
Companies and individuals can better protect themselves and their devices from these threats by understanding what an evil twin phishing attack is and how it works.
Remaining vigilant when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks and never entering sensitive information into a website is an excellent place to start. | https://reportedtimes.com/evil-twin-phishing-signs-and-prevention/ |

The nefarious software program now spreading throughout the globe is named WanaCrypt0r 2.zero (also called Wanna, Wannacry, or Wcry). Like different types of ransomware, WanaCrypt0r begins encrypting information on a pc when it’s put in. As soon as all of the vital information are locked up tight, it pops up a warning to the consumer. The extent of sophistication varies right here, however WanaCrypt0r appears to be like to be one of many extra intelligent. It informs the sufferer their information are locked, however might be restored. It even presents to decrypt some information freed from cost to show it may be finished. After that, you need to pay $300 in Bitcoin to get the decryption key. WanaCrypt0r threatens to double the worth after three days if the ransom isn’t paid. After per week, the information can be deleted completely.
Safety researchers estimate that Russian computer systems are by far probably the most affected, however the NHS appears to be probably the most high-profile goal. Spanish telco Telefónica has additionally been hit arduous. The BBC reports that round 25 NHS services had been hit by the assault, and that is along with quite a few smaller GP workplaces. The UK’s Nationwide Cyber Safety Centre is working with NHS to make sure affected person info isn’t misplaced. The NHS notes the ransomware was not particularly focused at its computer systems, however the nature of this piece of software program means it might unfold quickly.
The Eternalblue exploit in motion.
WanaCrypt0r seems to utilize an exploit known as Eternalblue from a latest leak of NSA paperwork. This vulnerability is current on any Home windows model from XP by way of Server 2012. The malware authors mixed Eternalblue with a self-replicating payload, permitting WanaCrypt0r to function as a worm. It could actually transfer from one machine to a different on a community with out being put in manually by customers.
This ransomware nonetheless must get right into a community as soon as to unfold, so it’s vital that each one computer systems are up to date and folks aren’t clicking on suspicious hyperlinks. There’s a patch from Microsoft, launched in March of this yr, that can block Eternalblue. It’s a good suggestion to put in that on older PCs, however WanaCrypt0r should produce other strategies of infecting programs. | http://www.tech4.rizlys.com/new-ransomware-assault-used-leaked-nsa-exploits-to-hit-nhs-2/ |

A mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas on May 24 was the deadliest at a U.S. school in a decade, and has once again sparked debate about gun laws and how to protect children in the classroom.
Legislators, educators and others are proposing a variety of measures to curb the violence, including arming teachers or placing armed guards in schools.
Comparisons also are being made to gun laws or regulatory measures taken in other countries, such as Israel, a nation that has a low number of school shootings as compared to the U.S. But as we’ve written before, some social media posts have spread misinformation about school security measures and gun control laws in Israel.
On May 29, the Independent Firearm Owners Association — which describes itself as “a gun rights, pro-privacy, pro-freedom organization” — shared a photo on Facebook showing young women walking with military-style guns. The caption reads, “No school shootings in Israel. Must be great gun control? What, they carry guns to class – oh no, not that!” The post received over 13,000 likes and 8,000 shares.
The photo has appeared in similar tweets, also claiming there are “no school shootings in Israel.”
But the Facebook post and the tweets misrepresent the individuals in the photo. And it is not true that there have been no school shootings in Israel.
We don’t know when the photo was taken. But through a reverse image search, we found the photo had been posted in 2011 on Defence.pk — a self-described “one stop resource for Pakistan defence, strategic affairs, security issues, world defence and military affairs” — with the heading, “Pictures of Women in the Armed Forces.”
We also found the image used in an article from 2020 published by SHTF Blog, a survival blog website, titled “Israeli Gun Ownership, Culture, and Laws.”
The blog identifies the women in the photo as members of the Israel Defense Forces.
The IDF is the combined military forces of Israel, consisting of three branches — ground forces, air force and navy — that function under a unified command.
For years, it has been common to see guns on Israeli streets being held or holstered by someone who appears to be an average civilian but is actually military personnel. But there have been alternating policies over the years regarding whether IDF members were allowed to carry their weapons at all times.
IDF soldiers — who are at least 18 and tend to stay on a military base during the week — were able to carry guns to civilian settings when they went home on weekends to prevent weapons theft and kidnapping up until 2006, according to a 2011 report on firearm access and ownership in Israel and Switzerland.
But in 2006, the report noted, soldiers were prohibited from bringing home their service weapons on weekends because of high suicide rates among the IDF.
This restriction was reversed in 2016 after IDF Chief of General Staff Gadi Eisenkot issued an order that all IDF combat soldiers must carry their weapons — on or off duty, in uniform or out of uniform — in response to a rise in violence at the time.
The bottom line is the individuals in the photo shared on social media are not school kids taking weapons to class, but apparently trained members of the military.
Securing Israeli Schools from Attack
Though the number of school shootings in Israel is relatively low, there have been attacks involving Israeli schools or school buses since at least 2000, according to a list of violent incidents maintained by the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
To protect schools and students from terrorist attacks and gun violence, Israeli law requires a guard to be placed in schools of 100 or more students, according to a report compiled for the Connecticut General Assembly in 2013 based on information from the Israeli Ministry of Education.
The guard must check the school site 30 minutes before classes start and check people and vehicles entering the school, with the authority to refuse entry to unauthorized visitors.
The guard — who is generally stationed at the school entrance — is responsible for security outside the school and must engage with an attacker in the event of “hostile activity.”
Only hired guards, Ministry of Education personnel, the police and the army are authorized to carry firearms in schools in Israel.
Israeli police are in charge of deciding if schools need mobile security to keep students safe, such as on-foot security, carried out within the institution, or motorized security conducted between educational institutions.
Schools also work with the IDF to conduct evacuation drills to prepare students for the possibility of a terror attack.
The Ministry of Education also provided funding to construct shelters and fences, add reinforced protection to school buses, hire and train the security guards, and provide professional psychological care to treat students’ emotional reactions to attacks.
In Israel, the Firearm Licensing Department of the Ministry of Public Security oversees the distribution of gun licenses to Israeli residents, agencies and organizations in compliance with the Firearms Law of 1949.
The law does not recognize a right to bear arms, and anyone who wishes to carry a gun must meet certain requirements and may need to demonstrate a need to carry one. Israel considers gun permits a privilege.
The preconditions for obtaining a personal firearm license in Israel state that the applicant must be over 27 years old, unless they have served in the military. A person who has served in the IDF can receive a firearms license in Israel at the age of 18. Those who served at least two years with the Sherut Leumi, a non-military national service, can obtain a license at 21. Permanent residents who are not citizens of Israel and have no military experience must wait until they are 45 years old.
An applicant for a firearm must have a health declaration — including a check for mental illness — signed by a medical doctor. The individual must also complete firearm training and may need to prove the firearm is needed for their occupation.
It takes about two weeks for requests to obtain a license to be processed, and the acceptance rate is about 65%, according to the Ministry of Defense.
Applicants with a history of criminal convictions, drug use, violent incidents and certain types of mental illness, involving hallucinations or suicidal tendencies, may be rejected. Applicants can also be denied due to an offense committed during military service.
In most cases, a license allows an approved applicant to obtain one pistol with a limit of 50 bullets. A license is granted for a specific firearm, and any additional firearm requires an additional license.

As the threat of invading malware increases (viruses, worms, Trojans, bots, just to name a few), companies, small and large, will continue to utilise technology as a means of defence. The anti-virus industry is extremely large and continues to garner major investment. As with any technology niche, there is both good and bad within what’s called “advanced endpoint security” but it will continue to be installed as a means to protect against modern malware and other possible threats.
It is interesting to me that the term “virus” has become the way most people understand how computers or enterprise systems become infected. I think it is because people understand the flu and the common cold. And they generally understand how to protect against “catching the flu” or “catching a cold.” The most important protection is information. People have to inform other people that they have a cold or flu or, in a mass media sense, details have to be share about a new flu strain that is “out there.” Once informed, the basic elements of defence are isolation (stay home or stay away from folks who are sick) and cleanliness (cover your nose or mouth for a cough or a sneeze, continually washing your hands). These protections work well for your everyday common viruses that produce a cold or a flu.
In the world of cybersecurity, just as in public health, there are viruses and then there are VIRUSES. The mean, nasty ones. They are persistent, versatile, severe, and can spread like wildfire, just like all influenza viruses, but there are some viruses that can cause pandemics and, left unattended, can become catastrophic and cause large number of deaths. In the cyber world, catastrophe can be defined as damage, disruption, data theft, or in general, the infliction some other “bad” or illegitimate action on data, hosts, or networks.
As in the case of the common cold or flu, information becomes paramount, and despite advances in security technology, and the widespread use of such technology, you can not underestimate the importance of people expertly trained in collecting and disseminating information when there is a massive cyberattack. These attacks can be described as “Immediate Threats.” Providing an established method of handling an immediate cyber-attack campaigns (like WannaCry or Petya/NotPetya, among others that are widespread enough and severe enough to get a “name”) is an important service for any company devoted to the cybersecurity vector. It may not even be the first thing “on the table” when soliciting clients but it is significant nonetheless. And it involves smart and highly skilled people.
In a public health setting, a severe outbreak of a stomach flu may immediately require mitigation that blocks the symptoms of the flu but doesn’t immediately address the infection. Solutions to an immediate cyber threat may also be provided in “stages.” But as soon as a warning of an immediate threat comes through, it is incumbent upon security officers incorporate the initial suggested actions (to treat the symptoms) and then test their entire network in order to gain an assessment of whether they are exposed or not exposed to the specific effects of the attack. If the possibility exists, then you would need to wait for a full mitigation, which is sometimes in the form of a patch or other options.
It goes without saying that security officers benefit when they are in a position to test their networks for potential infiltration as often as possible. And, as mentioned earlier, it is incumbent for any company providing this kind of immediate threat assistance to act like hackers do. That means internally looking for new or develop even more lethal variants based on previous viral attacks. Every once in a while, a new campaign shows up in the wild, based on previously used malware that is adjusted slightly by the hackers.
In dealing with immediate threats, it’s all about thinking ahead, providing options and being prepared. Senior management executives are showing much more interest in cybersecurity than they did two, three or even five years ago. Security officers, who used to be alone on an island within most organisations, now are expected to have the straight answers to basic questions. Are we exposed? Do we know how to fix it right now? Knowing if a company is or isn’t in the danger zone of a major cyber campaign during the early hours of a crisis, before it has the opportunity to reach your network, is crucial information for a security officer to have in his or her hip pocket. But, ultimately, the key is self-assessment. You have to constantly test and verify all that is needed to protect your organisation. | https://www.itproportal.com/features/immediate-cyber-threats-alert-as-a-service/ |
There are additionally some possible safety dangers that a gain access to control system can run into as well as among them is tailgating. This is when a trespasser complies with accredited workers in getting in a restricted location. Other threats consist of door levering, lock spoofing, and hacking. It is very important to take these dangers into factor to consider and ensure that they are correctly and prompt attended to.
An advanced gain access control system by https://www.secom.com.sg/products-services/access-control-management-services-ams.html uses biometrics, in which a details part of a person is used as confirmation whether gain access to will certainly be granted or otherwise. A biometric scanner can check the finger prints or the retina of an individual to validate authorization. As soon as identity has been verified, the access terminal will after that launch the digital locks in the door or entrance.
Unlike physical locks, digital access control technology is a lot more advanced and as a result is less most likely to be duplicated. Access control terminals are typically mounted just next to the point of access, be it doors or gateways, to which a user can either go into a password, passphrase or PIN. Individuals no longer have to bring a physical trick with them and it removes the issue of having shed secrets.
An accessibility control system additionally helps to reduce using added manpower for protecting entry as well as exit points in buildings or facilities. It can also be utilized to track the job hrs as well as tasks of workers extra accurately. The probability of fraudulence can considerably be minimized in this manner since there is much less manual work entailed.
An access controller can be a stand-alone system in which all the vital details and credentials are stored within the system itself. Networked gain access to controllers take advantage of a database system to validate the qualifications of a person requesting accessibility. Qualifications can be a crucial card, password/passphrase, vital fob, or a distinctive personal attribute such as a fingerprint or retina.
It is additionally possible to link an access control system with a security system to make sure that they can interact in enhancing the safety and security of your structure or facility. This is an integral part of inner control to make sure that your procedures run smoothly as well as face as few problems as feasible. It assists to guarantee that your personnel are doing their work appropriately and are not associated with any type of illegal activities.
A gain access control system is an innovation that helps in controlling the entrance to a particular building, center, or any secure area. Businesses and sectors of all kinds have actually integrated access control to make sure that just certified people have the ability to gain access to limited areas. It is a good way of increasing not only the safety and security of a location yet additionally its privacy too.
A gain access to control system is primarily made up with three major parts as well as they are the physical barrier, the accessibility controller/reader, and the credentials. It is the physical barrier that really stops access to a specific location or entry/exit factor. Numerous centers today have doors with digital locks while main entry/exit factors are secured with a turnstile, all of which are handled by the accessibility controller. | https://www.notmydesk.com/taking-a-closer-look-at-access-control-systems/ |

A survey of 1,000 employees finds 96% of employees are aware of digital threats, but 45% click emails they consider to be suspicious.
Security awareness training doesn't always lead to improved behavior, as indicated in a survey of more than 1,000 employees around the world. The data raises concerns because most people have increased the use of company-issued devices for personal matters, Mimecast researchers report.
The survey found 73% of respondents "extensively use" corporate devices for personal tasks such as personal email (47%), financial transactions (38%), and online shopping (35%). Sixty percent admit to doing this more often since starting to work remotely.
Nearly all (96% of) employees surveyed claim to be aware that malicious links in their email, social media feeds, and websites they browse could potentially infect their devices. Nearly two-thirds (64%) report receiving cybersecurity awareness training specifically related to working remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite this, nearly half (45%) admit to opening emails they consider to be suspicious, and the same percentage admit they don't report suspicious emails to their IT or security teams. In the United States, 78% claim they've had special awareness training but 60% still open potentially suspicious emails, researchers found.

It’s no secret that employees have a growing dependency on using mobile devices to access corporate information of all kinds. With employees working from home and/or other locations more frequently, it’s clear that mobility and BYOD are here to stay. And as with any new trend in technology that goes mainstream, cybercriminal activity soon follows, eventually in equal measure. The recent rise in mobile malware is now following a basic law in cybersecurity: the more vulnerable a system is and the more people use it, the more attractive it is for hackers to attack. We can easily see yet another proof point of this with mobile malware: because mobile devices are so pervasive, we’re now seeing huge growth rates in mobile malware, and because Android-based systems are so relatively easy to hack, upwards of 98 percent of mobile malware is targeting them.
A recent report from Gartner shows a decline in PC shipments from the first quarter of 2014, another proof point that mobile computing is overtaking the traditional PC market. At the same time, a recent report by Lookout shows that in the U.S. the number of Android users who encountered malware grew 75 percent in 2014 from 2013. That is an alarming number and industry experts expect to see that number grow even higher. This paints a grim picture: attacks on mobile systems are likely to become much, much worse. As more and more employees have on-the-go access to sensitive corporate information through their mobile devices, including sensitive information about customers, financial information and intellectual property the value to cybercriminals of hacking them goes up. Couple that with the currently large number of vulnerabilities present in many apps and systems and the growing number of mobile malware tools to exploit them, and you can see that businesses are facing a very real and present danger.
The increasing volume and sophistication of mobile security threats present serious challenges for businesses of all sizes. Mobile devices and the apps and data they store must be protected. What are some technologies companies should consider regarding mobile device protection?
One important tool for companies to protect sensitive data is encryption. If an employee is working remotely and their laptop is lost or stolen, or if their phone or tablet gets infected with malware, unencrypted customer information can lead to crippling fines from regulatory agencies, and equally bad, a loss of trust from customers. “Containerization” of corporate data coupled with encryption will help prevent it from being viewed and shared during the first few hours of being lost or stolen (at least). Another feature for strong security with stolen devices is anti-theft technology that can be operated remotely by the administrator to block access and to wipe corporate data from the device so that the bad guys can’t access sensitive information even with unlimited time and fully physical control of the device.
And of course there is the most fundamental layer of protection of all: anti-malware technology. This is such a “given” these days that it is almost assumed. But surprisingly enough, most mobile systems being used today aren’t equipped with it. For the platforms that are at the highest risk (such as Android), there are excellent anti-malware technologies readily available, we simply need to begin using them.
Finally, educating the user base is extremely important and, as I mentioned earlier, a step that unfortunately is often times not executed properly, or worse, completely overlooked. User education should ideally be consistent and timely. All employees should receive the same training, as well as frequent follow-ups to ensure they have the most updated information. Furthermore, a corporate IT department should be communicative regarding updates, outages, possible breaches, etc. so that all employees have the vital information that directly affects network security.
In light of how common the BYOD approach is used, organizations should also establish guidelines for employees on the proper, secure access of corporate information on mobile devices. This is an imperative step to make employees aware of the risks and the responsibilities that come with accessing corporate information on their mobile devices, and will provide standards, procedures and restrictions on the acceptable use of mobile devices to access corporate information. The policy should also provide the ability to enforce the use of strong passwords and block dangerous apps along with downloading from untrusted sources (a.k.a. “sideloading”).
While the mobile threat landscape continues to rapidly evolve and expand, there are several steps—including technologies, education and communication—that companies can take to help mitigate the risks their employees face, while accessing corporate data on the go. In addition, industry events and conference such as RSA and publications are helping to educate businesses and consumers to the most prevalent IT security risks. These are the types of conversations and knowledge-sharing which truly help to stay a step ahead of the bad guys and protect what matters most to us.
And one thing for sure is that we can’t afford to ignore the risks in the mobile world any longer; the “ostrich approach” simply won’t protect us from the bad guys, in fact they’ll look for those of us with our heads in the sand. | https://azure.cioreview.com/cxoinsight/the-ostrich-approach-won-t-work-with-mobile-malware-nid-21042-cid-149.html?utm_source=clicktrack&utm_medium=hyperlink&utm_campaign=linkinnews |
A Taringa! database containing user information was breached, resulting in the apparent theft of customer information, including user names, email addresses, and encrypted passwords.
Almost 29 million user accounts registered with Taringa!, a social network for Latin American and Spanish-speaking users that draws comparisons to Facebook and Reddit, was stolen last month in a major data breach.
HackRead was first to report on Monday that LeakBase, a subscription-based data breach notification website, was able to obtain a stolen database containing essentially 100 percent of Taringa!’s customer records –28,722,877 in total.
An advisory posted last month on the Taringa! website acknowledged that on Aug. 1, “we suffered an external attack that compromised the security of our databases and the code of Taringa!,” resulting in the apparent theft of customer information, including user names, email addresses, and encrypted passwords.
The passwords were hashed with a “weak MD5” algorithm, LeakBase reported via Twitter.
In response to the incident, Argentina-based Taringa! said it forced a password reset for all potentially affected users and emailed potential victims, and added that it plans to introduce more robust password encryption, and improve its intrusion detection and prevention, among other steps.

A sophisticated and dangerous new trojan malware, Dvamp, has emerged as the first-known trojan for Android operating system with code injection.
In April this year, cybersecurity researchers at Kaspersky uncovered a new rooting malware being distributed in the Google Play store. Upon closer infection, researchers discovered that the malware goes beyond merely installing its modules onto the system. This malware, they found out, injects malicious code into the system’s runtime libraries, making it the first malware to affect the world’s most widely-used mobile operating system in such a manner.
Titled Dvamp, the malware uses a number of sophisticated techniques and bypasses Google Play Store’s security checks in a simple yet devious manner. For context, Dvamp was hidden inside a simple puzzle game made available on the Play Store. Developers behind Dvamp uploaded a clean version of their ‘game’ to the store near the end of March, 2017, before promptly updating it with a malicious version for a short period of time. Then, they would switch over, back to the clean version, on the same day. This was a pattern repeated at least 5 times between April 18 and May 15.
When it is installed, the Trojan looks to gain access to root privileges on the device to install its malicious modules. Once installed, the malware then deletes root access in its attempt to mask its presence and avoid detection.
If and when activated, the malware reports to a command and control server, even though researchers discovered that the server did not respond with any instructions.
Researchers wrote:
These malicious modules report to the attackers about every step they are going to make. So, I think that the authors are still testing this malware, because they use some techniques which can break the infected devices. But they already have a lot of infected users on whom to test their methods.
Altogether, the Trojan was downloaded over 50,000 times since March and Google has removed the malicious app from the Play Store after being notified by Kaspersky. | https://lifars.com/2017/06/dvamp-androids-first-trojan-malware-code-injection/ |

Amazon.com has acquired game studio Double Helix Games as part of its strategy to strengthen its games offering to customers.
The company said in a statement Wednesday that it has acquired Double Helix “as part of our ongoing commitment to build innovative games for customers.”
The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Amazon also declined to discuss whether it had acquired the gaming studio for its talent, a trend popularly known as acqui-hire, or for its games.
Double Helix in Irvine, California, is best known for developing Killer Instinct for the Xbox One. The company said on its website that it is “currently working on other amazing projects that are tightly under wraps.”
Amazon has a game studio, called Amazon Game Studios, which is “focused on creating innovative, fun and well-crafted games, and have fun at the same time.” The studio has job openings in Seattle, San Francisco, and Irvine, according to its website.
The acquisition of Double Helix is adding to earlier speculation that the Internet retailer is planning to launch its own gaming and entertainment device and is working aggressively with developers in this connection.

Encryption is method of scrambling data in some manner during transmission. In periods of war, the use of encryption becomes paramount so those messages are not intercepted by the opposing forces. There are a number of different ways to protect data during transmission, such as Substitution (character for character replacement) in which one unit (usually character) of cipher text (unintelligible text or signals produced through an encryption system) is substituted for a corresponding unit of plain text (the intelligible text or signals that can be read without using decryption), according to the algorithm in use and the specific key.
The other method Is Transposition (rearrangement characters) which Is the encryption process in which units of the original plain text (usually Individual characteristics) are simply moved around; they appear unchanged in the cipher text for their relative location. Study Case (Bank of Shenandoah Valley) While both encryption and authentication method are providing some measures of security, the implementation of security itself has totally a different approach.
Before any methods chosen, the two most important factors in security implementations are avian to be determined. The level of security needed and the cost involved, so the appropriate steps can be taken to ensure a safe and secure environment. In this case Bank of Shenandoah Valley is In type of business which a high level of security is required, therefore, I would suggest the use of encryption method with a complex algorithm Involved.
Although an authentication method is a secure method as well, Is not as complex as encryption method of complex algorithm since it has been used in military during the war where a high levels of security are a must. This is a perfect example of how reliable an encrypted message can be while used within Its appropriates guidelines. Chapter # 6 4- Describe the three different database models – hierarchical, relational and network.
For data to be effectively transformed Into useful Information, It must be organized In the smallest unit (or piece of data) used by the computer and then progresses into the database, which holds all the information about the topic. The data is organized in a top – down or inverted tree likes structure. At the top of every tree or hierarchy is the root segment or element of the tree that corresponds to the main record type. The hierarchical model is best suited to situations in which the logical relationship between data can be properly presented with the one parent many children (one to many) approach.
In a hierarchical database, all relationships are one – to -one or one- to- many, but no group of data can be on the ‘many’ side of more than one relationship. Network Database is a database in which all types of relationships are allowed. The network database is an extension of the hierarchical model, where the various levels f one-to-many relationships are replaced with owner-member relationships in which a member may have many owners. In a network database structure, more that one path can often be used to access data. Databases structured according to either the hierarchical model or the network model suffers from the same deficiency: once the relationships are established between the data elements, it is difficult to modify them or to create new relationships. Relational Database describes data using a standard tabular format in which all data elements are placed in two-dimensional tables that are the logical equivalent of files. In relational databases, data are accessed by content rather than by address (in contrast with hierarchical and network databases). | https://wiretrip.net/computers/computer-security-4/ |

In the battle over encrypting private communications versus giving the government backdoor access to better thwart terrorism, it's hard to tell where the UK government stands.
"Encryption plays a fundamental role in protecting us all online."We need to make sure that our intelligence services have the ability to get into situations like encrypted WhatsApp."To be very clear – Government supports strong encryption and has no intention of banning end-to-end encryption. "There is a problem in terms of the growth of end-to-end encryption."
These statements sound contradictory, but they have one thing in common: They can all be attributed to UK Home Secretary Amber Rudd.
Rudd has said all of these things and more about encryption in various speeches, interviews over the past few months and a self-penned articles earlier this week.
It's not just you. From reading these statements, even in context, they're pretty confusing.
WhatsApp's 'end to end' encryption is "absolutely unacceptable...there should be no place for terrorists to hide" says @AmberRudd_MP #marr pic.twitter.com/aVtDP6FRvD
— The Andrew Marr Show (@MarrShow) March 26, 2017
The comments add more muddle to the debate over encryption, which has become a bugbear of the British government in the wake of multiple terror attacks in the UK over the past year. While encryption guards our privacy, it also prevents authorities from reading messages between terrorists. Prime Minister Theresa May has called multiple times on tech companies to "do more" to tackle the terror threat. Rudd, ahead of attending the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism on Tuesday in San Francisco wrote an editorial in the Telegraph saying that the UK isn't looking to ban encryption but does want some kind of change.
The back and forth from Rudd is counterproductive because she's seemingly seeking a middle ground that doesn't exist. By parsing her statements, Rudd appears to suggest a version of encryption that is almost, but not absolutely, unbreakable. But end-to-end encryption means that not even the companies that create and enforce security measures can decrypt your messages, so the idea of an emergency access point seems far-fetched.
"Amber Rudd must be absolutely clear on what co-operation she expects from internet companies," said Jim Killock, executive director of UK digital rights campaign Open Rights Group. "She is causing immense confusion because at the moment she sounds like she is asking for the impossible."
It's not like tech companies aren't willing to help. Facebook, Twitter and Google have shown willingness to work with governments to tackle terrorism.
Breakable encryption could also, as numerous experts including Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg point out, chase terrorists onto other platforms that aren't as willing to cooperate with governments.
"If people move off those encrypted services to go to encrypted services in countries that won't share the metadata, the government actually has less information, not more," Sandberg said in an interview broadcast by the BBC last week.
In fact, it's already happening. On Wednesday, three men were found guilty in the UK of plotting a terrorist attack and had been using the encrypted app Telegram to communicate with one another. Telegram was called out by Europol chief Rob Wainwright earlier this year for "causing major problems," by not cooperating with law enforcement.
'Real people' don't want encryption?
One allegation Rudd has leveled at end-to-end encryption is that "real people" don't care about it. People don't use WhatsApp because it is secure, she said in her Telegraph editorial, but because it is convenient, cheap and user-friendly. This is more than a huge generalization, it's an assertion for which she provides absolutely no supporting evidence.
Indeed, her comments have attracted criticism from privacy organization Big Brother Watch, which said they were "at best naive, at worst dangerous. "Suggesting that people don't really want security from their online services is frankly insulting, what of those in society who are in dangerous or vulnerable situations, let alone those of us who simply want to protect our communications from breach, hack or cybercrime," Renate Samson, the organization's chief executive, said in a statement.
"Once again the government [is] attempting to undermine the security of all in response to the actions of a few," he said. "We are all digital citizens, we all deserve security in the digital space."
Rudd maintains "there are options" for using end-to-end encryption and also making sure terrorists "have no place to hide" online. But these options remain a mystery to everyone but her. For the sake of the British public, many of whom do care that their communications are kept private and secure, she needs to explain how this will work.

Extensive new research released from the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCA) and CybSafe has given unique insights into the general public’s opinions and behaviours regarding cyber security.
The ‘Oh, Behave! The Annual Cybersecurity Attitudes and Behaviors report’ gathered information from 3000 individuals across the UK, US and Canada, highlighting worrying trends on issues from password hygiene and phishing to romance scams and the availability of training.
The report displayed a significant increase in fraudulent activity online, with more than 1 in 3 respondents (36 per cent) saying they have lost money or data due to a phishing attack. A majority of people (57 per cent) said they were worried about online security. Furthermore, 59 per cent agreed they were the person most responsible for protecting themselves.
Despite this caution, however, 43 per cent of people felt they were ‘likely to become a target of cybercrime’, 46 per cent felt frustrated about staying secure online, and 35 per cent of respondents even thought they were automatically secure online.
The report provides a wake-up call for those spending time online, or the vast majority, with 45 per cent of respondents being connected to the internet at all times.
Despite the worrying aspects of the analysis, there are signs of improving behaviour. Looking into respondents’ conduct in relation to specific security behaviours, 64 per cent reported creating a unique password either ‘all of the time’ or ‘the majority of the time’. 63 per cent of participants also ‘always’ or ‘very often’ installed the latest updates and software. Finally, 62 per cent have turned on their automatic updates.
On the other hand, significant work must be done to highlight the importance of other security behaviours. For example, 43 per cent of people have not even heard of multi-factor authentication, only 27 per cent always report the phishing emails they receive’ and less than half (43 per cent)’ always’ or’ very often’ back up their essential data.
Oz Alashe, CEO and Founder of CybSafe, said, “One of the biggest misconceptions is the belief that people are the weakest link in cybersecurity. The combination of evolving threats coupled with more people accessing the internet daily for work and recreation means people-related cybersecurity risk must be reassessed. It also makes education and implementation of fundamental cybersecurity practices more important than ever before. MFA, password managers and other ‘basic’ cybersecurity best practices have been shown to be incredibly effective in thwarting cyber criminals, yet adoption continues to be a big problem. We need to find a way to break through the age-old misperceptions that these steps are annoying or cumbersome and replace them with the facts: these tools can significantly lower the chances of becoming a cybercrime victim.”
Lisa Plaggemier, Executive Director of the National Cybersecurity Alliance, added, “We are nearing a point where everyone will be connected to the internet all the time, and unfortunately, that means everyone has the potential to be vulnerable to basic cyberattacks. Businesses, organizations, schools and even friends and family need to make the adoption of security behaviors a priority. Increasing adoption and eliminating setbacks during the overall process of remaining safe and secure needs to be an all hands-on deck approach.”

In many ways, it’s not. It is still a form of intimidation and aggression intended to cause physical or psychological harm. However, the main differences lie in the implications of the technological medium and in the social environment kids live in today.
First of all, the internet allows for some level of anonymity for the bully. It’s also much harder to hide from cyberbullying, as it can happen anytime, and it has the potential to grow virally and spin out of control. There is also the wider context of the internet, which can be a toxic place where hateful messages are spread without fear of repercussion. Most importantly, it can’t realistically be ignored or cut out of the child’s life. A large part of a child’s social life plays out online, and to cut them off completely would be alienating and counterproductive.
What Are Some of the Effects of Cyberbullying?
As with any form of bullying, the effects of cyberbullying are potentially catastrophic. In the short-term, bullying can cause problems with sleep, school, and socialization. In the long run, it can cause PTSD. It can also lead to mental health problems ranging from depression to eating disorders, both immediately and into adulthood.
The worst possible effect of bullying is suicide. This may feel like an extreme example, but the connection has been proven. Teens involved in bullying behavior — on either side — are more likely to consider suicide. This highlights the importance of identifying cyberbullying and intervening as soon as possible.
If you believe the bully is a classmate, your first step should be to take it to the school. However, bear in mind that without direct evidence of the child’s behavior, it can be difficult for the school to enforce any punishment. In the meantime, tell your child not to respond to harassment and save any messages. You may opt to start gathering forensic evidence, such as text messages and social media posts, to begin building a legal case. In severe cases, you may want to turn to professionals like Secure Forensics who can help you gather all the information you need.
If the bullying becomes life-threatening (death threats and suicide encouragement, for example), go straight to the police with the issue. Cyberbullying legislation varies from state to state, so it also helps to be informed about your rights.
It’s easy to feel powerless in the face of cyberbullying, but as parents, it is our job to show our kids they are not powerless. To do that, we need to become comfortable talking about cyberbullying, its real-world consequences, and the options we have to fight it. Cyberbullying is relatively new and uncharted territory for most parents, kids, and schools, so education and open conversation are some of the most powerful tools available to us on the matter. | https://kidpt.com/2019/01/21/a-parents-guide-to-understanding-cyberbullying/ |
The most common security challenge both individuals and organizations come across while keeping their information safe and secure is in the form of phishing attack. Either to get access to someone’s password, bank account, credit/debit card, or any other confidential information, hackers use social media platform, phone calls, emails, and any other form of communication so, they can rob reliable data.
Notably, social media is vulnerable and susceptible to such types of attacks like those comprising fake sites set up by hackers and scammers so, they can trick people and can get their account information. Social media do offer tips and ways to prevent these attacks like avoid clicking links, be aware of Bots, Direct messages, and requests for fake chances to win cash prizes. Sometimes, the threats involve fraudulent charity requests for victims who might have suffered from recent natural calamity.
Various reports and facts reveal that 91% of all the cyber-attacks starts with emails. Now social media is added in the top target list of phishing attacks since the attacks turn up to be by 100%
The thing which is alarming and worrying is that people are not aware of how to recognize these social media phishing attacks and prevent them. Even though it is very easy to identify these phishing attacks and to stop them.
In this article, we will discuss different ways of identifying social media phishing attacks and tips to prevent these attacks. Let’s have a look:
The rapid growth of social media has altered the way consumers look for support from various brands. Now, most of the people turn towards Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram over the traditional customer support service.
The scammers are always looking for such occasions where they can take advantage of pretending the support accounts of famous brands like Amazon, Samsung, and PayPal.
A study conducted in 2016 reveals that 19% of social media accounts which appear to represent top famous brands were all fake.
To prevent these types of attack, it is essential to check spelling errors and variations in account handling. Moreover, also check the checkmark badges which is present just next to the account name on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter as it indicates that the account is valid and authentic.
Phony contests and promotions:
Imposters and scammers are famous for impersonating certain brands on social media so they can promote nonexistent promotions. At times, these phishing attacks might compel the targeted person to give up their confidential information. They claim that the collected data will be used for some discount or to enter a contest and win exciting prizes.
Such attacks are quite easy to identify. These scams have poor grammar, spellings, less number of followers. They might also ask for your personal information or may ask you to make a certain kind of purchase.
One of the best ways to ensure that you connect with the official page of a brand on social media is to directly follow their social pages directly from the organization’s site. By doing so, you can confirm that the account is authentic and can also follow the page from there.
Dangerous direct messages:
The social media phishing attacks can also take place through direct messages too. It is seen from the accounts of acquaintance including close friends and family which might be targeted.
The attacked social media accounts are often used to send phishing links via direct messages to gain trust and casualness to trick you. This type of phishing attack deceives you in a way that you visit malicious sites and downloads file attachments.
To prevent such an attack, you can customize your message option. By doing so, not everyone will be able to send you direct messages. Also, if you are suspicious about someone, then you can mute their messages or can even spam it.
Spambots Comments:
We usually came across trending content like live streams on various social media platforms which are often filled with spammy comments from accounts which are typically part a complex botnet.
These spammy comments have URLs which connects to phishing websites which deceive you into providing your personal and private information. The information includes the username and password of an online account.
The best way to prevent such attacks is to avoid clicking on links on any social media from accounts to whom you are not much familiar with and can’t trust much. Moreover, you can also take help from various security software features like real-time anti-phishing to automatically block any fake websites if you visit them unintentionally.
How to improve Social Media Safety?
As cybercriminals are wandering different social media platforms for getting valuable data, but individuals and cooperates needs to make security their utmost priority. Following are some tips for safe and secure use of social media:
To create a unique and secure password for every social media account.
You must review your privacy controls and settings regularly.
Be cautious before sharing your historical information.
You must be as cynical about social media interactions as you would be with your doubtful work emails.
Final Thoughts:
Phishing is a kind of cyber-attack done to gather valuable information by using tricky emails and websites. It is now a common attack on social media which takes different forms and shapes.
One should be extremely careful and aware about protecting and securing themselves and their information from falling victim to these attacks.
Although we have discussed some ways to prevent social media phishing attacks but the best possible way is to keep your eyes open before doing anything either it is opening any site or clicking on any link.
Privacy laws are now more strengthen then ever before, and agencies are gathering your information through data retention laws. Also, ISP selling your information legally.

The iPhone has been out for over a month now, and on Tuesday we saw Apple release the first security update for it. I’m sure a team of people over at Apple had been working around the clock to push out that update because they were working under pressure. Just a week ago we wrote about a group of researchers at Independent Security Evaluators who found a way to make an iPhone vulnerable to hackers. They of course reported the exploit to Apple, but gave them until August 2nd to fix it before they discussed it at the Black Hat conference (computer security) taking place on Thursday. Phew, Apple made it with a little time to spare!
iPhone owners will receive the update via iTunes. Computer World explains that “iPhone users can wait out the update interval — iTunes automatically checks Apple’s update servers once a week — or retrieve the patches manually by selecting “Check for Update” under the iTunes Help Menu and then docking the iPhone to the PC or Mac.”
Also in the news, buzz around the web is that a new 20” and 24” iMac computer will debut next week on Tuesday at a press event held at Apple headquarters. AppleInsider reports that a slimmed down keyboard will debut as well as demo’s of iLife ‘08 and iWork ‘08. Apparently Apple is refocusing back to the Mac computers? They seem to have been pushed out of the spotlight ever since the iPhone came around. | http://cybernetnews.com/1st-iphone-vulnerability-discovered-now-patched/ |

On this website, cyber security is discussed primarily as an internet related environment regarding and protecting required levels of both individual and organizational information security. And, given any threats to those security levels, both individuals and organization can potentially be subject to not only economic penalties, but, even more importantly, subject to consequences capable of threatening an organization’s capabilities to “keep its doors open for business”. This is why our staff often references these cybersecurity related postings under the business continuity and risk management section(s) of this website.
Due to recent developments in the area of cyber-threats, there may be now additional concerns and/or threats categorized under the term “Cyberwar” that can potentially and directly affect an organization’s ability to “keep its doors open for business”. And, of course, our staff proposes that this matter be also added to business continuity planning processes if it is determined that such actions could affect an organization.
A recent article written by Eric Chabrow, posted on the GovInfoSecurity website, and entitled “Cyberwar: Reality or Exaggeration?” may be worth noting for some our website’s readership.

TrueCrypt is open source software for on-the-fly encryption. TrueCrypt can use an encrypted file or partition and mount it for use transparently by any application. The Windows version has a fancy GUI, but on Linux there is a good command line interface.
TrueCrypt provides a Deb package for Ubuntu on their web site. They have packages for Feisty, Edgy, and for 64-bit systems.
I love the way this software runs in win32, ubuntu 32 and ubuntu 64 bit.
Something that I like to do when creating a volume. I redirect output from a command to a seed.txt file (> 320 bytes) on a fat32 partition to “seed” the creation of a volume. Shred the file afterward. | https://tombuntu.com/index.php/2007/09/03/using-truecrypt-on-ubuntu-for-encryption/ |

Why is it a shock that we don’t have good access to this stuff? Think of the Library of Congress’ harvest of Twitter as if it were paper: 24 billion pages of text. Probably 6 million cubic feet. Growing by 14,000 cubic feet a _day_. Created by 140 million authorities. With integrity, chain of custody, privacy and political problems, such as: How do you reveal that a post by a Thai blogger committing lèse majesté against Bhumibol has been suppressed in his homeland by Twitter Co.?
What’s revealing is that the writer’s angle here — Can deleted tweets now be made accessible? — is almost shamanic: “Now, through magic, we can hear the 18 1/2-minutes that Rose Mary Wood erased! Or failing that, we can see Rep. Anthony Weiner’s chest again.” The carrier — UTF-8 instead of paper — has seduced us into thinking that since storage isn’t a problem, intellectual control isn’t a problem. Digital stuff is magic; in the interwebs, access is innate.
But intellectual control and access are built into physical care and handling of paper in a way that we haven’t fully replicated with born-digital collections. And so the Big Twitter Capture totally flouts the cardinal rule of good collections of ephemera: Define Narrowly, and Weed Ruthlessly.
There’s a kind of shallow populism at work here, the kind that believes that appraisal is strictly disciplinary and recapitulates in collections power-dominance over people. This is why we acquire widely: to guarantee that neglected parties have a voice in the susurrus of the archives. Theoretically speaking, this rhetoric of empowerment is bogus; people or groups marginalized from our collections are not themselves without power or voice, it’s just that we haven’t trapped either one of them in amber, we haven’t institutionalized their infra-power. The assumption that we can bring everything in without a solid plan for access, and just leave IT gurus and researchers to make sense of the pile is precisely the opposite of populism.
But the revolution is thoroughgoing. It is still traveling through purgatory. It does its work methodically. By December 2, 1851, it had completed half of its preparatory work; now it is completing the other half. It first completed the parliamentary power in order to be able to overthrow it. Now that it has achieved this, it completes the executive power, reduces it to its purest expression, isolates it, sets it up against itself as the sole target, in order to concentrate all its forces of destruction against it. And when it has accomplished this second half of its preliminary work, Europe will leap from its seat and exult: Well burrowed, old mole!
The narrator's wish to be a mole in the ground and a lizzard [sic] in the spring are quite surrealistic in their symbolism. "The Bend" ("pen" in some other versions) probably refers to the Big Bend penitentiary.
[...] its only meaning comes to it from the Greek arkheion: initially a house, a domicile, an address, the residence of the superior magistrates, the archons, those who commanded. The citizens who thus held and signified political power were considered to possess the right to make or to represent the law. On account of their publicly recognized authority, it is at their home, in that place which is their house (private house, family's house or employee's house), that official documents are filed. The archons are first of all the documents' guardians. They do not only ensure the physical security of what is deposited and of the substrate. They are also accorded the hermeneutic right and competence. | https://archivesoldmole.wordpress.com/tag/archives-access-control/ |

From Zip2 to Paypal, Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk’s businesses have revolutionised their industries.
He has established a name for himself as a visionary, known for taking on big, complicated projects.
His success has been credited to his drive and tremendous self-confidence — which, in turn, has also been described by others as exhausting.
So what do you learn from working for someone like that?
According to Branden Spikes, who served as Musk’s right hand of technology for more than 15 years at Zip2, PayPal, Tesla, and SpaceX, it was Musk’s determination and bravery that was the most inspiring part of his leadership.
“He’s a great entrepreneur and leader. Because of that I kept repeatedly joining,” Spikes told Business Insider.
Spikes first started working for Musk at Zip2 in 1997 where he led the IT operations teams.
“Each time was a little more challenging than the last. The move to aerospace was quite a bit of a departure from online banking, and so was online banking from Internet web portal.
“These were big challenges, but I think that the SpaceX one was by far the most audacious, just unbelievably difficult, practically impossible, type of thing.
“Even in the formational areas starting the company, and many people don’t realise that we were in business for over six years before even flying a rocket, you had people telling you what you were doing could not be done, should not be done, and that we were fools to try. These were loud voices.
“What a brave man to just, in the face of all of that, steam right ahead forward and keep motivating everybody, and leading the charge to victory, and then managing somehow to achieve victory, proving all the naysayers wrong, and validating and vindicating.”
And despite working towards such monumental goals as trying to get humans not only in space but on Mars, Spike said Musk took the time to understand the pressure points of his businesses, one of which was IT and cybersecurity.
That meant Spikes had to bring his A-game. Protecting the system from being hacked, and “making sure everything with a wire or blinky light functioned and communicated perfectly,” as he puts it.
“I think he’s taken pride in not having been hacked at the companies he’s started,” said Spike, “and I take credit for that.
“I like that Elon gets cybersecurity and he gets IT. It wasn’t difficult for me to get, as they say in the industry, board-level interest in tech systems and in cybersecurity and the value of it. It wasn’t hard. He got it.
“In fact, on day one of creating the network at SpaceX, he’s like, ‘Don’t let them hack us.’
No pressure.
“That’s really a powerful message, and just exemplifies the fact that we saw eye to eye on the value of a well-crafted network and on a secure system.”
He says it was this attitude from his leader that encouraged Spikes to keep working with Musk and taking on each new challenge.
“That encouragement and that environment is really how I got to the unique perspective and the ability to start my own cybersecurity business,” he said.
In 2012, Spikes went on to found his own cyber security business, Spikes Security. It was acquired by Aurionpro’s Security division in 2016 to form Cyberinc, where he is now the technology evangelist.
Spikes says knowledge and background in engineering and computer systems makes Musk “unique and different from your traditional business leader”.
“I’ve rarely seen other business leaders that can get a grasp of the technology and the importance of it being resilient and secure. They look to others to help them.”
He says it has taken huge, costly security breaches in some of the world’s biggest companies for business leaders to wake up to the importance of high-level IT protect.
“Now, fortunately, I think we are starting to see some board-level awareness of these things, maybe because of the just incredibly scary and enormously successful hacks that have happened and made the news, Sony Pictures and Target and so on and so forth. That probably helped some business leaders, forced them to become more savvy.
“Elon benefits from a lifetime of working in computer tech to get that, but not all business leaders do.” | https://nationalcybersecurity.com/dont-let-hack-us-heres-like-working-cio-elon-musk-spacex/ |

SEATTLE, March 28, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Digital.com, a leading independent review website for small business online tools, products, and services, has published findings from a new survey that examines cybersecurity concerns among small business owners. Research experts analyzed responses from 1,250 owners of businesses with 500 employees or less.
According to the study, 51 percent of small businesses do not have protection against cyber-attacks. Twenty-one percent of respondents from this group say they are in the process of developing cybersecurity measures, and 30 percent of business owners have no measures in place. Additionally, seven percent of business owners say they are unsure about their online security status.
The workplace model is also a key factor when it comes to cybersecurity. Forty-five percent of businesses with an in-person workforce do not practice cyber safety. In comparison, 27 percent of online-only businesses, and 21 percent of businesses with a hybrid work model have no internet security processes. Fifty-nine percent of business owners who fail to utilize safety methods say they are too small to be targeted for cybercrime. Respondents also cited other reasons for the lack of security measures, such as limited online business, high cost, and no dedicated cybersecurity staff.
Survey results indicate that the lax attitudes among small business owners could potentially put customers at risk for a data breach. Most of the companies surveyed collect personal information from customers, including names (72 percent), addresses (66 percent), and phone numbers (65 percent). Respondents also admit to collecting sensitive data that can leave consumers vulnerable to identity theft and fraud. Twenty-six percent of small businesses without digital security measures collect credit card information, 15 percent store personal bank account information, and 14 percent have customers' Social Security numbers on file.
"Companies of all sizes should take cybersecurity seriously," small business consultant Dennis Consorte says. "Customer data is valuable, and bad actors will stop at nothing to get it. In fact, they may target SMBs because they have less budget for protecting their customers' information and are therefore softer targets."
Twelve percent of the small businesses surveyed have been victims of cyberattacks. As a result, 90 percent of businesses experienced lost revenue, 24 percent suffered damage to the company's reputation, and 16 percent faced a loss of customers. Despite the negative consequences, 8 percent of small businesses that experienced a security compromise made no changes to their practices. Some business owners implemented online safety measures like installing antivirus or antimalware programs, using a Virtual Private Network (VPN), hiring an IT staff or external cybersecurity firm, and training staff in cybersecurity best practices.
Digital.com created and paid for this study, which was administered via the online survey platform Pollfish. The survey was distributed to 1,250 small business owners across the U.S. from March 11 to March 14, 2022. Respondents were selected based on a screening question. To access the complete report, please visit https://digital.com/51-of-small-business-admit-to-leaving-customer-data-unsecure/. | https://www.prweb.com/releases/digital_com_survey_reveals_more_than_half_of_small_businesses_do_not_have_cybersecurity_measures_in_place/prweb18578953.htm |
Port-based network access control (PNAC), or 802.1X, authentication requires a client, an authenticator, and an authentication server (such as a FortiAuthenticator device).
The client is a device that wants to connect to the network. The authenticator is simply a network device, such as a wireless access point or switch. The authentication server is usually a host that supports the RADIUS and EAP protocols.
The client is not allowed access to the network until the client’s identity has been validated and authorized. Using 802.1X authentication, the client provides credentials to the authenticator, which the authenticator forwards to the authentication server for verification. If the authentication server determines that the credentials are valid, the client device is allowed access to the network. | https://docs2.fortinet.com/document/fortiauthenticator/6.0.2/administration-guide/592631/port-based-network-access-control |
The number and level of sophistication of cyber attacks in the industrial space is increasing, but there is a reciprocal increase in defence capability, according to Jeff Zindel, vice-president and general manager of Honeywell Industrial Cyber Security.
“The good news is that we are also seeing a dramatic increase in attention and focus on improving their cyber security posture and recognition for the need for cyber security across industrial operations,” he told Computer Weekly.

Though cloud-based data protection offers businesses the opportunity to meet their computing needs with greater scalability and flexibility, many business leaders aren’t sold on the idea. According to a recent survey by Druva, nearly half of business leaders (49% of respondents) who have not yet moved to cloud-based data protection cite cost as the number one barrier.
However, when you take time to compare cloud-based data protection with traditional tape backup systems, making the cloud your company’s secure information technology program turns out to be more cost-effective than the alternative.
Tape backup and recovery software vs. automated cloud server fees. Tape backup software comes at an obvious cost. And while the initial price tag may be cheaper than cloud-based systems, it’s important to consider all the licenses required for items such as backup agent software, open file managers, plug-ins for various servers, and database server agents. In the cloud security model, a monthly service fee is charged for each server protected, rather than the capital cost of acquiring software licenses for specific servers.
Soft costs of the tape backup software implementation, maintenance, and technical support vs. more time for IT to focus on business objectives. Implementing and maintaining tape backup software involves a certain number of hours (perhaps days) incurred by internal (or third-party) staff. This includes the time it takes to install, set up, integrate, configure, and train staff on backup and recovery procedures. With cloud-based security programs, the implementation and maintenance take minimal time, allowing for your IT department to focus on areas that can directly impact your overall business objectives.
Onsite tape backup hardware and media vs. offsite data servers. Hardware for onsite backup systems may include automated tape libraries, tape drives, tape cartridges, or other media. There is no hardware cost involved in cloud backup and recovery services unless you elect to use an optional additional local storage appliance for even faster automatic recovery.
In-house tape backup hardware labor and storage costs vs. cloud-based services leveraging the vendor’s infrastructure. The final area to consider is the labor and costs related to transporting and storage. For tape backup systems, it’s important to consider the burdened hourly rate for the direct labor or in-house staff as well as the costs related to picking up backup tapes for offsite storage and costs of storage. Unlike the laborious task of tracking errors in tape-based backups, cloud services provide automatic detection of problems at any stage of backup or recovery, reducing the total amount of labor costs. Additionally, there is no additional cost to transport data offsite because everything is stored in the cloud.

2/10 : AVOID ANYTHING EVEN REMOTELY RELATED TO CHEMISTRY.
I'm looking for a clean, cool, clear, confident, and professional vector graphic logo design.
Slightly playful & fun is an option. Simple or Zen-like designs are a plus too.
I own another company http://www.FirewallConsultants.com which has a logo I like (bad web page though). Important: the logo you create can be wildly different from the one on that page so don't get stuck on anything from that design. I like it because it works really well in print more than anything.
Technical Requirements:
I need the logo in native Vector format. Preferably .ai or .eps or .svg. Do not convert a raster graphic to a vector format this will not scale appropriately for large print jobs and will cause problems when I use them in other vector diagrams and blueprints.
I need a version of the logo to look good on a white background, a grey background, and a black background. Sometimes this requires small color changes or outlines.
I need the base logo and also a (square or circle) icon logo for things like iPhone apps which may or may not be a part of the main logo. If you look at http://www.firewallconsultants.com you can see the icon to the left which is what I use for that purpose. That said these two can be totally different as long as they have a good look & feel.
Note: The icon logo doesn’t have to be the same as the main logo or even part of it so don’t let that seem like a restriction.
I’d like to know the name of any font used (when delivering the documents at the end). You can use any font in the world I really don’t care where it comes from at all I just need to know the font name, and optionally where I can buy it, in case I want to make matching looking stuff down the road.
I tend to avoid militaristic looking designs. I'm looking more for an image that conveys and on honest and helpful professional that wants to have a healthy relationship with my clients.
My first attempt at this is on the current website but I am SO not a designer... That's why I'm hiring you B-) | https://en.99designs.be/logo-design/contests/internet-security-company-seeking-cool-vector-logo-592859 |
Description Trojan:JS/Flafisi. B is a malicious PC infection which contaminates the entire system badly and brings numerous problems to users.
Distribution Via freeware downloads, spam email campaigns and corrupted hardwares.
Traits Causes harm to the system and to the browser installed in it, encrypts the files stored in it, diminishes it’s speed etc.
Trojan:JS/Flafisi.B do attach itself to several reliable executable files on a host PC for enabling itself to get loaded every time whensoever users open up the file. This virus infection has been notified successfully activated onto the PC at the instant of time when it is loaded into the system’s memory. The threat following the successful activation spreads it’s viral code into several other programs and among the files stored on the host PC. Trojan:JS/Flafisi.B along with posing huge harm to the targeted PC, also compromises several other machines on the same network or the machines utilizing the same storage devices.
Trojan:JS/Flafisi.B in order to forbid itself from being detected and then removed by the antimalware program, do make usage of polymorphic code. This code actually modifies the decryption modules enabling the virus infection to change itself every time a new host is compromised. It has been reported primarily targeting the programs having large numbers of bugs. Thus, to prevent this sort of virus infection from being intruded inside PC, it is literally essential for the users to update antimalware program existing in the PCon regular basis.

Cyberattacks involving ransomware -- in which criminals use malicious software to encrypt a users' data and then extort money to unencrypt it -- increased 50 percent in 2016, Verizon reports.
And criminals increasingly shifted from going after individuals to attacking organizations, the report said. Government organizations were the most frequent target of these ransomware attacks, followed by health care businesses and financial services, according to data from security company McAfee, which partnered with Verizon on the report published Thursday.
Instances of ransomware attacks have grown along with the market for bitcoin, the digital currency that is most commonly how cybercriminals demand ransoms.
While overall most malware was delivered through infected websites, increasingly criminals were turning to phishing - using fraudulent emails designed to get a user to download attachments or click on links to websites that are infected with malware - to carry out attacks. A fifth of all malware raids began with a phishing email in 2016, while fewer than 1 in 10 did the year before, according to the report.
"These emails are often targeted at specific job functions, such as HR and accounting - whose employees are most likely to open attachments or click on links - or even specific individuals," the report said.
Whereas in the past most ransomware simply encrypted the data on the device where it was first opened, Marc Spitler, a Verizon security researcher, said criminal gangs were increasingly using more sophisticated hacking techniques, seeking out business critical systems and encrypting entire data servers. "There is increased sophisticated surveillance and targeting of organizations to maximize profit," he said.
Criminal gangs were behind the majority of all cybersecurity breaches, Verizon said, with financial services firms the most common victims, accounting for about a quarter of all attacks.
But espionage -- whether that was by foreign governments or unknown entities - was on the rise, Verizon said, accounting for 21 percent of all breaches in 2016 up from less than 10 percent in 2010. Besides governments, manufacturing firms were the most likely to be targeted in espionage-motivated attacks, the report said. | http://www.enterprise-security-today.com/news/Verizon__Ransomware_on_the_Rise/story.xhtml?story_id=1030008P26XN |

Threat intelligence security refers to an organization’s ability to analyze and understand information related to all types of cyber attacks. Due to the rising rate of cyber crimes, organizations are increasingly spending on their network security that has helped the market grow significantly over the last five to six years.
One of the major factors driving the rapid growth of the threat intelligence security market is the rising number of sophisticated cyber attacks. According to a recent study, the number of cyber attacks increased to 48% during the last five years, which has resulted in an increased spending on security by enterprises. The losses incurred due to these attacks are likely to significantly disrupt the working of enterprises; therefore, organizations are opting for efficient security solutions to protect themselves from such attacks. Enterprises are also looking for solutions that can predict attacks and respond to them in real time. All the above factors have led to the high growth of the threat intelligence security market.
With enterprises increasingly adopting the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) culture, their security needs have changed. The enterprise needs to secure the device when it is in the office premises and also when the device is out of the office network. Furthermore, the market is expected to remain competitive with the entry of niche players. These players provide hardware, thereby increasing their market bargain capability among the large vendors. The major vendors in the threat intelligences security market are IBM, Symantec, McAfee, Trend Micro, and Dell SecureWorks.

In the current scenario, North America is expected to be the largest market on the basis of spending and adoption of the threat intelligence security market. | http://www.marketsandmarkets.com/PressReleases/threat-intelligence-security.asp |
Keeping the world’s dizzying array of hacking groups straight has become a challenge for researchers and journalists. One person’s Helix Kitten is another’s OilRig, sowing confusion — in this writer as well as others — about where one group ends and the next one begins.
But getting hacking taxonomy right matters because knowing which group is responsible for malicious activity can help network defenders secure their data. That’s why researchers from multiple companies are pointing out what they say is a case of mistaken attribution of a global hacking operation.
A report published last week by cybersecurity companies Recorded Future and Rapid7 blamed a well-known Chinese threat group, APT10, for breaching a Norwegian software vendor, a U.S. law firm, and an international apparel company. APT10, which U.S. officials and private analysts have linked to China’s civilian intelligence agency, gained greater notoriety in December when the Department of Justice announced charges against two of the group’s alleged members.
The Recorded Future-Rapid7 report assessed with “high confidence” that APT10 was responsible for the breaches. Among other technical evidence, the researchers listed the so-called Trochilus malware and a signature backdoor, or remote-access portal, that APT10 has used. The DOJ indictment helped solidify the APT10 attribution, they said.

But analysts at other companies that follow APT10 say the activity described in the report is the work of another China-linked hacking group, called APT31 or Zirconium. An APT10 attack would have looked different, according to Kris McConkey, head of cyberthreat detection and response at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
“None of the stuff that we were tracking as APT10 overlaps with what Recorded Future and Rapid7 have reported,” McConkey said. His company published a detailed account of APT10’s compromise of remote IT service providers in 2017.
McConkey said the command-and-control infrastructure listed in the Recorded Future-Rapid7 report is that of APT31, not APT10. His team, he added, has not seen APT10 deploy Trochilus in the manner described in the report (Recorded Future and Rapid7 described it as a “new variant”).
Benjamin Koehl, an analyst at Microsoft’s Threat Intelligence Center, also took issue with the report’s APT10 attribution in a series of tweets.
This activity is not APT10. It is all APT31 (or ZIRCONIUM) in our terms. The C2 domains that you mention were all registered and the threat actors made subsequent changes in specific ways that we attribute (with other information) to ZIRCONIUM.
According to Koehl, Zirconium has registered more than 50 command-and-control domains in the manner described in the Recorded Future-Rapid7 report in the last few years.
There is extensive public data tracking APT10, which is known for supply-chain attacks that enable intellectual property theft. Much less has been written about the more recently-surfaced APT31 (though some ink has been spilled in the name of Zirconium). The groups’ hacking tools have overlapped and they have both conducted supply-chain attacks, analysts say, but APT31’s infrastructure, and sometimes its targeting, differ from its more famous relative.
The Recorded Future-Rapid7 report caveated the attribution by saying that the investigation of the breaches included “privileged conversations that lead us to believe that in the future, portions of what is now known as APT10 will be recategorized as a new group. There is insufficient data at this time to make that distinction.”
“Where it matters to network defenders is that sometimes the groups will have different objectives and the information they’re looking for will be slightly different,” McConkey told CyberScoop. “If you work out what their objective is, that informs your strategy for what you need to protect as the highest priority in an organization.”
At the same time, however, many hacking outfits are moving toward shared tools, he said. That makes attribution more difficult, but also means that identifying the tools used, as the Recorded Future-Rapid7 report did, allows organizations to block swaths of the malicious activity at once.
While McConkey said the Recorded Future-Rapid7 report got the attribution wrong, he credited the companies for shining a light on the malicious activity and the Norwegian software firm, Visma, for being willing to be named publicly.
When asked about criticism of the report’s APT10 attribution, Priscilla Moriuchi, Recorded Future’s director of strategic threat development, cited the company’s caveat on the possible overlap in threat groups. She said that there appear to be such strong similarities in the tactics, techniques, and procedures of APT10 and APT31 that they could be part of the same Chinese state organization. That is still being investigated.
For now, Recorded Future does not plan to amend the report, Moriuchi said. The company is in touch with researchers from Microsoft who have tracked APT31 to further investigate. After digging more into the overlap between the groups, Recorded Future will update the report if necessary, she said.

“We completely understand and are huge advocates of understanding the differences in threat actor groups from a network defense perspective,” Moriuchi added. “We’re always open to reassessing our judgements if new facts come to light.”
Asked about the attribution criticism, a Rapid7 spokesperson said the company wasn’t involved in identifying the hackers, only in providing information about their activity.
The debate stirred by the report points to the larger challenge the industry has in clearly chronicling hacking groups. Like biologists cataloging new species, malware analysts christen a threat group if they see enough of a pattern in unique characteristics to warrant the distinction. That happens regularly, and cybersecurity researchers say the lack of a standard nomenclature is a problem.
“Our goal really is just to simplify and clarify [threat intelligence] for users because it’s information that network defenders need, not the different names,” Moriuchi said. | https://cyberscoop.com/apt10-apt31-recorded-future-rapid7-china/ |

Antura has been awarded certification to the internationally recognized information security standard, ISO 27001, a result of the company’s conscious and concerted efforts in this area.
Information is one of the most important assets of any organization. Information vanishing, confidential data being stolen and important documents being damaged – all of these can have serious consequences for any operation. It is therefore extremely important that all systems containing valuable information are protected using an Information Security Management System, or ISMS.
In October 2016, Antura was awarded certification to ISO 27001:2013.
–Our ISO 27001 certification confirms that information security is now a natural and integral part of our daily processes, and that we run our operation in accordance with the prevailing standard, says Patrik Strömbeck, CISO, Antura Group.
Intertek is one of the world’s leading companies in the certification of products and management systems. In 2016 Antura has undergone a comprehensive certification process, during which Intertek has meticulously reviewed Antura’s information security management system.
–Antura has demonstrated a well-developed and well-implemented ISMS, and the company’s ISO 27001 certification is the result of its conscious, successful efforts in information security, says Berndt Roslund, Lead Auditor at Intertek, about the system audit.
High demands on information security
For 15 years, Antura has been successfully delivering the Antura Projects PPM tool – a complete solution for project, portfolio and resource management. Customer demands in information security have increased in recent years, and globally it is now regarded as a matter of course for a supplier to meet high demands on information security.
–Nowadays our customers place serious demands on information security, both as regards Antura and our products. For our larger customers who operate on major international markets, it is absolutely crucial that we can prove we can meet the requirements in this area, says Patrik Strömbeck.
Several years ago, Antura made the strategic decision to develop and implement a management system in accordance with the recognized system in place today, ISO 27001. On completing the system audit, Intertek confirmed that Antura’s management system met the necessary criteria. Berndt Roslund sums up Antura’s work on ISO 27001 certification as follows:
–One success factor is that Antura’s management has acted in an exemplary manner, with great commitment and visibility throughout the entire process. This has assured the buy-in and distribution of Antura’s ISMS which I believe an operation needs to achieve success in this area. | http://www.antura.com/News/Antura-receives-ISO-27001-certification-for-information-security |
US charges two Russians in hack of Mt. Gox crypto exchange -Justice Dept | #hacking | #cybersecurity | #infosec | #comptia | #pentest | #hacker
WASHINGTON, June 9 (Reuters) – The United States has charged two Russian nationals in the hack of collapsed cryptocurrency exchange Mt. Gox and in the operation of the illicit crypto exchange BTC-e, the Justice Department said on Friday.
The department said in a statement that Alexey Bilyuchenko, 43, and Aleksandr Verner, 29, were charged with conspiring to launder approximately 647,000 bitcoins from their hack of Mt. Gox, which collapsed in 2014 after losing half a billion dollars worth of the cryptocurrency.
Bilyuchenko was also charged with conspiring with another individual to operate BTC-e from 2011 to 2017, the Justice Department added. | https://nationalcybersecurity.com/us-charges-two-russians-in-hack-of-mt-gox-crypto-exchange-justice-dept-hacking-cybersecurity-infosec-comptia-pentest-hacker/ |
.. is the attempt to obtain sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details (and, indirectly, money), often for malicious reasons, by disguising as a trustworthy entity in an electronic communication. (wikipedia)
FACT: According to the EY study, employees are the weakest link in your security chain, needless to say that securing them is paramount for success. The report found that “careless employees are the most likely source of a cyberattack (named by 74 percent of respondents), followed by criminal syndicates (56 percent), malicious employees (52 percent) and hacktivists (46 percent)”
Phishing is so widespread now, that it makes daily headlines. In the last week we have had North Korea targeting US Power Plants and Apple customers being targeted with phony popups, posing as your iTunes account to verify login details.
Barkly details phishing history and its evolution describing the new mindset of the attacker to focus on the “soft, chewy, center” of the organization. aka: the user
So who’s getting Phished?
According to Wombat State of the Phish report, 76% of infosec professionals still report their organizations being victims of a phishing attack, despite growing education around Security Awareness Training programs. Attacks are evolving, but are companies keeping up2date with Awareness Programs? That doesn’t seem to be the case.
Wombat also allude to this in their 2016 Beyond the Phish report, where they analysed “more than 70 million questions and answers in 10 categories, from June 2016 through May 2017”. They found that 1 in 4 employees hide security incidents, and overall 20% of your organisation are likely to be a security threat. Putting it into that perspective is mind blowing
A spear phishing email is sent from the CEO to the CFO, asking them to pay an attached invoice. Their legitimate email would be [email protected]; but the attacker might spoof the email to read; [email protected]
The CFO would not think twice about looking at the spelling of the email address.
What you need to know
Attackers use Phishing to ultimately gain access to a system in order to steal sensitive corporate data. Phishing encourages users to click on a link, or open an attachment in an email
Although, to the user it might appear that nothing has happened, the attacker has run an .exe in the background and is on it’s way towards the intended target
General rule: do not click any links within an email. Copy and paste it into a Safe URL search
Unknown Sender – If you’re unsure of the sender, do not click any clicks or open any attachments. Forward the email to your Security officer
Emails requesting Personal Information – BEWARE. Treat these emails with extreme caution
Emails requesting an Urgent Response – a common tactic used to provoke an immediate response. Our senses our heightened and we do not make good decisions what we are pressed for “urgent matters”.
We understand that a Security Awareness Officer can be more of a luxury… a “Nice to have”, rather that a “must have”, for corporations today. But consider the rate at which Phishing attacks are growing, we believe that this is going to be a critical position on the Cybersecurity team within the next 3 years.
Some will be lucky to have a dedicated cybersecurity team member who can roll out programs and reach Security Awareness objectives, while others will be caught chasing their tails and pushing Security Awareness aside ahead of other more pertinent matters.
For those who cannot service this internally, they can outsource this to specialised Cybersecurity companies to manage on their behalf.
This is what we do best here at CyberSecurity Brain. We manage Security Awareness Programs for all sorts of organisations by providing best practices around Security Awareness, Policy formation, and we manage the roll out of Simulated Phishing attacks.
Our methodology involves a phased approach through Assess, Educate, Reinforce, Measure.
Our goal is make organisations more secure, by securing the front line “the user”. These programs are designed to drive change in user behaviour which can be achieved through ongoing assessment. | https://cybersecuritybrain.ca/cybersecurity-awareness-week-3-phishing/ |

Authorities announced on Wednesday, July 26 that 139 people were arrested during a five-county, multi-agency operation that targeted internet crimes against children.
“Operation Online Guardian” was conducted earlier this month by the Los Angeles Regional Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, which includes personnel from 102 agencies in Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
“Child exploitation is one of the most horrendous crimes affecting our most vulnerable members of the community,” Joseph McNally, first assistant U.S. attorney for the Central District of California, said at a Wednesday morning news conference at LAPD headquarters. “Through these crimes, predators target those who can’t protect themselves.”
LAPD Chief Michel Moore, who led the operation, was also among many law-enforcement officials at the news conference.
“These investigators will tell you that all one needs to do — as we do in the first step in going undercover and looking at these platforms — is to see the horrific volume of predators that are actively pursuing the opportunity to identify vulnerable victims and to abuse them, and to destroy their lives,” Moore said.
In addition to personnel from the LAPD, the operation included police from Glendale, Long Beach, Laguna Beach, Burbank, Redondo Beach, Montclair and San Bernardino, along with sheriff’s representatives from Los Angeles, Ventura and San Bernardino counties and officials with Homeland Security Investigations.
“The LAPD ICAC unit, as the lead agency, is the primary clearing house for all CyberTips, associated to the five southern California counties, received from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children,” the LAPD said.
“The CyberTips include reports from various Internet Service Providers and citizens reporting incidents that involve the possession, distribution and manufacturing of child sexual abuse material, and the online sexual exploitation of children,” the LAPD added.
Authorities conducted Operation Online Guardian between July 10 and 21, the LAPD reported.
“The goal of operation was to identify and arrest predators who are using the internet to facilitate the sexual abuse of children and to rescue children from (the) predators,” the LAPD said.
The operation was executed in two phases, police said.
“The first phase included proactive undercover investigations on a variety of social media platforms,” police said. “The second phase included the service of multiple residential search warrants throughout the five counties, in addition to arrest warrants, which focused on child predators.”
The 139 suspects were arrested on suspicion of various crimes that ranged from sexual abuse and lewd acts with a child, to attempting to contact minors for sex.
“During the operation, our dedicated investigators demonstrated their unwavering commitment and compassion as they embarked on a critical mission to protect the innocent,” the LAPD said.
“Through their diligent efforts, vulnerable children were rescued from further abuse, and victims who had been silenced by the atrocious crimes of child sexual abuse found their voices restored,” the LAPD said.
The Internet Crimes Against Children Program was developed by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. The mission of the program is to assist local, state and federal law-enforcement agencies with investigating internet-related crimes against youth.
The ICAC Task Force Program consists of 61 coordinated task forces and over 5,400 federal, state and local law enforcement members.
“Although Operation Online Guardian has concluded, the LA ICAC Task Force will remain vigilant and continue their mission to protect our children,” the LAPD said.
“Despite the numerous resources that assist the LA ICAC Task Force in the battle against the sexual exploitation of children, there are victims who are unnoticed,” the LAPD said. “Therefore, we are asking the community for their help in this fight.”
Community members were urged to visit www.Missingkids.org/NetSmartz for educational internet safety tips and activities.
The community may also report potential child sexual abuse activity and have the harmful matter removed via the service “Take it Down,” at https://takeitdown.ncmec.org/. | https://nationalcybersecurity.com/southern-california-authorities-arrest-139-people-for-internet-crimes-against-children-san-bernardino-sun-childpredator-kidsaftey-childsaftey/ |

The Stuxnet computer worm that infected Iran's Natanz uranium enrichment complex last year was first deployed against five Iranian organizations before reaching its target, according to a report from Symantec researchers.
Between June 2009 and May 2010, five companies in Iran were hit with the Stuxnet worm; the company's names were not disclosed, but Symantec researcher Liam O Muchu told the New York Times, All of the domains are involved in industrial processing.
According to the Symantec report, Stuxnet recorded information on the location and type of each computer it infected, allowing researchers to chart its behavior. Researchers found that 12,000 infections were traced back to the five targeted organizations.
The report also suggests that these five plants were targeted because of their close business ties with Natanz, ties that would facilitate the spread of Stuxnet via removable USB drives to Natanz, which itself was likely to have been operating offline.
One of the main propagation methods Stuxnet uses is to copy itself to inserted removable drives. Industrial control systems are commonly programmed by a Windows computer that is non-networked and operators often exchange data with other computers using removable drives, the report reads.
Symantec's report found that the dangerous malware was still being worked on just 12 hours before the first attack in June 2009. | http://www.technewsdaily.com/6609-stuxnet-malware-hit-five-sites-before-target-report-says.html |
Desktop Linux users accustomed to a relatively malware-free lifestyle should get more vigilant in the near future—a researcher at RSA has detailed the existence of the "Hand of Thief" Trojan, which specifically targets Linux.
According to cyber intelligence expert Limor Kessem, Hand of Thief operates a lot like similar malware that targets Windows machines—once installed, it steals information from web forms, even if they're using HTTPS, creates a backdoor access point into the infected machine, and attempts to block off access to antivirus update servers, virtual machines, and other potential methods of detection.
Hand of Thief is currently being sold in "closed cybercrime communities" for $2000, which includes free updates, writes Kessem. However, she adds, the upcoming addition of new web injection attack technology will push the price to $3000, and introduce a $550 fee for major version updates.
[ Further reading: How the new age of antivirus software will protect your PC ] "These prices coincide with those quoted by developers who released similar malware for the Windows OS, which would make Hand of Thief relatively priced way above market value considering the relatively small user base of Linux," she notes.
Getting Linux computers infected in the first place, however, could be more problematic for would-be thieves—Kessem says the lack of exploits targeting Linux means that social engineering and email are the most likely attack vectors, citing a conversation with Hand of Thief's sales agent.
Kessem also says that growth in the number of desktop Linux users—prompted, in part, by the perceived insecurity of Windows—could potentially herald the arrival of more malware like Hand of Thief, as the number of possible targets grows.
Historically, desktop Linux users have been more or less isolated from the constant malware scares that plague Windows, which is at least partially a function of the fact that their numbers represent a tiny fraction of the Windows installed base.
Users of Linux-based Android smartphones, however, have become increasingly tempting targets for computer crime—and with the aforementioned growth in desktop users, the number of threats may increase even further. | http://pcworld.com/article/2046342/linux-trojan-hand-of-thief-found-on-the-malware-market.html |
The convenience offered by the digital realm is a two-edged sword, delivering unmatched ease while also necessitating heightened caution for those who embrace this new way of life.
Therefore, being cyber smart is no longer optional — it is essential for safeguarding oneself and one’s family from potential cyber threats.
Here, we explore five critical cybersecurity tips that will help everyone stay safe in this digital world.
1. Protect Your Password
First and foremost, keep your passwords unique and strong. Ensure that you have different passwords for all your accounts. By doing so, even if an attacker manages to hack into one account, they will face greater difficulty in penetrating the rest. Given the numerous apps and websites we use, using a password manager becomes beneficial for efficient password management.
Whenever possible, it is highly recommended to enable two-factor authentication. This additional security measure is crucial as it adds an extra layer of protection to the login process. By combining something you know (such as a password) with something you have (like a one-time password) or something you are (such as a biometric scan), it significantly strengthens account security, reducing the likelihood of unauthorized access.
2. Protect Your Messaging Apps
Today, messaging is much more than just e-mails and everyone will be utilizing WhatsApp, Messenger, and the messaging components in their social media apps. These channels are also utilized by attackers to spread malicious content.
Attackers exploit the fundamental behaviour that links are meant to be clicked and attachments are meant to be opened, and unlearning this behaviour and identifying what is potentially malicious can be tricky.
Be very careful when opening links or attachments from unknown senders as they could potentially execute malware the device or direct one to a phishing website. Additionally, make sure to check the actual email address of the sender, to ensure they are who they say they are.
If one does end up clicking a link, one must make sure not to provide any sensitive or financial information. Legitimate financial institutions will never request account details, passwords, or credit card information via email. Protect yourself from malicious attachments by regularly updating your software, utilizing antivirus software, and installing necessary patches.
3. Protect Your Social Media Accounts
A social media account taken over by hackers can be abused to damage your reputation, and for those who use it for business purposes, it can be held for a ransom payout or just used to infect your followers and friends. Always protect your social media accounts with unique passwords and multifactor authentication.
It is always recommended to review privacy settings to ensure one has control over who can access and view the content. Finally, think about the content itself and whether it could be used for illegitimate purposes. One might think it is harmless to post a picture of oneself abroad or on vacation, but this inadvertently gives away information about the location, whereabouts, and travel patterns, which can potentially be used for malicious purposes.
4. Protect your home
By 2025, it is estimated that as many as 30 billion connected devices, known as the Internet of Things (IoT), will surround us. While these devices have undoubtedly made our lives easier, they also introduce cybersecurity risks that need to be addressed.
A key issue is around the device lifecycle. IoT devices often stop receiving software updates while they are still in use, exposing vulnerabilities that hackers can take advantage of.
There are simple ways one can ensure that the home is protected. First of all, make sure to use a strong Wi-Fi standard, protecting access across the network. One should also ensure that devices are up to date with the latest versions of software is installed. If the smart TV is out of support and not receiving updates anymore, it may be a good idea to disconnect it from the network and simply use an external media player with current software support instead. | https://nationalcybersecurity.com/5-critical-cybersecurity-tips-to-keep-everyone-safe-news-hacking-cybersecurity-infosec-comptia-pentest-ransomware/ |

A ransomware threat called 8Base that has been operating under the radar for over a year has been attributed to a “massive spike in activity” in May and June 2023.
“The group utilizes encryption paired with ‘name-and-shame’ techniques to compel their victims to pay their ransoms,” VMware Carbon Black researchers Deborah Snyder and Fae Carlisle said in a report shared with The Hacker News. “8Base has an opportunistic pattern of compromise with recent victims spanning across varied industries.” 8Base, according to statistics gathered by Malwarebytes and NCC Group, has been linked to 67 attacks as of May 2023, with about 50% of the victims operating in the business services, manufacturing, and construction sectors. A majority of the targeted companies are located in the U.S. and Brazil.
With very little known about the operators of the ransomware, its origins remain something of a cipher. What’s evident is that it has been active since at least March 2022 and the actors describe themselves as “simple pentesters.”
VMware said 8Base is “strikingly” similar to that of another data extortion group tracked as RansomHouse, citing overlaps in the ransom notes dropped on compromised machines and the language used in the respective data leak portals.
“The verbiage is copied word for word from RansomHouse’s welcome page to 8Base’s welcome page,” the researchers said. “This is the case for their Terms of Service pages and FAQ pages.”
A comparison of the two threat groups reveals that while RansomHouse openly advertises their partnerships, 8Base does not. Another crucial differentiator is their leak pages.
But in an interesting twist, VMware noted that it was able to identify a Phobos ransomware that uses the “.8base” file extension for encrypted files, raising the possibility that 8Base could be a successor to Phobos or that the attackers are simply making use of already existing ransomware strains without having to develop their own custom locker.
“The speed and efficiency of 8Base’s current operations does not indicate the start of a new group but rather signifies the continuation of a well-established mature organization,” the researchers said. “Whether 8Base is an offshoot of Phobos or RansomHouse remains to be seen.” 8Base is part of a wave of ransomware newbies entering the market such as CryptNet, Xollam, and Mallox, even as known families like BlackCat, LockBit, and Trigona have witnessed continuous updates to their features and attack chains to broaden their horizons beyond Windows to infect Linux and macOS systems.
One instance highlighted by Cyble entails the use of BATLOADER to deploy Mallox, suggesting that the threat actors are actively refining their tactics to “enhance evasiveness and maintain their malicious activities.” “Groups adopt other groups’ code, and affiliates — which can be considered cybercrime groups in their own right — switch between different types of malware,” Kaspersky said in an analysis last week. “Groups work on upgrades to their malware, adding features and providing support for multiple, previously unsupported, platforms, a trend that existed for some time now.”

The software requires purchase to download, and a VMware login is required to access the download page. The “Open Source Disclosure Package” contains only open-source JARs – no patch to analyze.
VMware provides a workaround here in the form of a shell script, reproduced below.
readonly BVAL_ROOT_DIR="$VCD_HOME/system/org/apache/bval/org.apache.bval.bundle" readonly VMW_BVAL_DIR="$BVAL_ROOT_DIR/1.1.1.vmw" readonly BVAL_DIR="$BVAL_ROOT_DIR/1.1.1" readonly ELF_CLASS="org/apache/bval/el/ELFacade*.class"
The workaround removes any org/apache/bval/el/ELFacade*.class files from /opt/vmware/vcloud-director/system/org/apache/bval/org.apache.bval.bundle/1.1.1/org.apache.bval.bundle-1.1.1.jar. ELFacade deals with Java EL expressions, which suggests an EL injection vulnerability.
Note that this vulnerability is post-auth! This somewhat limits the exposure of the vuln, but no one said getting creds was difficult. Patch!

School is marching ever closer — and one company seems to be looking out for where those tiny student feet will land. Carpet & Tile Mart is set to host another free classroom rug giveaway across all of its locations in Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
This comes as many school supply drives and community events have been spotted across the state, and many school districts are planning open houses and more to welcome families.
Also, some school districts are sharing plans for a new safety app on student smartphones this year.
It may remind you of that “Abbott Elementary” episode that ends in new Eagles floor mats — but these teachers won’t need a shady “rug guy” from Ms. Schemmenti for new digs.
Carpet & Tile Mart is set to host another free classroom rug giveaway this weekend. From 8 to 9 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 19, all 14 locations will participate in this one-day event. Delaware made the list with three spots.
The first 50 teachers in the door can claim their free rug — donated by manufacturers Nourison and Mohawk, at retail values near $200 — with valid identification to confirm teaching status. Organizers also noted no stand-ins or holds will be permitted.
Stores are limited to giving away just 50 rugs, but special discounts will also be available during this promotion, according to an event press release.
“Our goal is to show our appreciation for the dedicated service teachers provide for our children,” said Michael Longwill, company president and third-generation owner.
“With many budget cuts hurting local school systems, teachers often reach into their own pockets and personally sacrifice to furnish their classrooms. We want to recognize in our own small way what the teachers of our community do for our families, especially over the last few years.”
Brittany Hazzard is tired of hearing a deficit narrative.
“Whether it’s incarceration, whether it’s school to prison pipeline, whether you’re talking mental health concerns, violent crime, you name it — that normally drowns out the narrative,” said the mental health provider. “If we look at over the past couple of years, even connected with the social justice movement, there has been a lot of loss, a lot of Black males that have been highlighted tragically.”
Hazzard has also watched Black men and kids be labeled as “aggressive,” or in need of anger management, like a defining diagnosis.
“A lot of it really is more so connected to depression and anxiety,” said the host of an upcoming community forum in Dover. “And because of that, we want to educate our community. We want to empower those who support men of color, but also the boys and men of color themselves.” ‘They want to be here’:Delaware culinary program gets adults with disabilities cooking
A seventh annual “You Matter, We Care” event will focus on promoting education, encouragement and empowerment, while continuing a theme of “Valuing Our Boys and Men of Color.” The event hopes to draw in educators, professionals, nonprofit organizations, families, youth groups and more.
Its expert lineup is set to discuss mental wellness, education, athletics and even keeping healthy relationships, Hazzard said, while offering opportunities for networking.
“I look forward to it every year,” Hazzard said. “We often have young people from the communities share; we highlight champions from our communities — and it’s just important to continue to lift up groups that may be underprivileged or underserved, and that’s our goal.”
Appoquinimink School District is gearing up to share the new app students, staff and community can use for safety. The SAFE DE app, a transition from the STOPit app, will deliver a districtwide system for seeking help or anonymously reporting incidents.
The mobile app has three main features, the district explained, aiming to allow users to access aid with “dignity and privacy.” It should feel relatively familiar to STOPit, with some additions.
Asking for help — this can be used to anonymously request help from local school contacts, including Messenger, which allows anonymous two-way communication with school contacts and help requesters.
Crisis text line — this can be accessed directly from the app to text with non-local trained crisis counselors.
Get resources — this can be used to search community, local, state, and federal resources and helplines.
Appoquinimink will be hosting a kickoff event to showcase how students can use the app at 10 a.m. Wednesday at Middletown High School.
Still the Hornet Family — but bring it to 2023.
Delaware State University unveiled some logo facelifts last week, updating its academic emblem and the hornet logo for university athletics. Students will head back to campus later this month to a refreshed brand, meant to capture the university’s growth over the last decade.
The university logo is now a simpler “DSU” in dark cyan, below six flag poles at a red base mimicking that of the entrance to the HBCU’s main campus in Dover — often switched among many nations’ flags, as the school’s students and staff have represented more than 20 different countries. It also dons a familiar timestamp: “Founded in 1891.”
The flags represent more than countries, as many of some 600 stakeholders engaged for the rebrand told DSU, also capturing a campus center where students meet.
“It’s what we all remember from our first campus tour visit in middle or high school,” said Josh Holloway, incoming Student Government Association vice president. “Even now, we say, ‘Meet me at the flagpoles!’”
For athletics, the Hornets will now also see an updated, more modern “HORNETS” logo. University mascot Too-Fly isn’t headed anywhere, though, having also been included in the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum’s first HBCU bobblehead series earlier this year.
“With the most diverse intercollegiate athletics program in DSU history, it was time for a more modern, powerful look,” Director of Athletics Alecia Shields-Gadson said in a statement. “This new Hornet athletics logo ushers in a new era for all of Delaware State University’s sports teams.” | https://nationalcybersecurity.com/delaware-school-district-to-share-updated-student-safety-phone-app-schoolsaftey/ |
Two research surveys ask parents what they do to keep their kids safe online.
The Internet landscape has changed a lot over the past several years. Throughout this transformation, the concern of Internet safety has persisted. Given how much the Internet has changed, we wonder if parents’ views on their kids’ online safety have also changed.
To address this question, we decided to look at two research studies: Here, at the Center for Innovative Public Health Research, we conducted a national, longitudinal online survey, called Growing up with Media. The first wave of this longitudinal survey began in 2006 and has since run 6 more waves. At Pew Research Center, the national online Teen Relationship study was recently conducted between late 2014 to early 2015. Part of the study’s goal was to understand how parents help their kids navigate the online world safely and appropriately.
Looking at results from these two studies, which roughly span a decade of time, it looks like parents more or less enforce the same common sense rules. For instance:
The vast majority of parents talk to their kids about what they see online.
Andy Dean/iStockPhoto, used with permission
Between 2006 and 2008, our Growing up with Media survey found that only 4-6% of parents had never had these type of discussions with their kids. Pew Research Center found similarly: Only 5% of the parents they surveyed had never discussed with their kids what they see online. Furthermore, more and more parents seem to understand the importance of having these conversations. The Growing up with Media survey found that, between 2006 and 2008, 1 in 3 parents almost always talked with their kids about what they see online. Last year, Pew Research Center found that 4 in 10 parents frequently had these conversations with their kids.
About 3 in 5 parents check the websites that their child visits.
In 2008, we found that 68% of parents reported checking their child’s Internet browsing history. What’s more, we found that parents are more likely to do this if they have younger kids: When we surveyed these same parents in 2006, 77% of parents reported checking their child’s Internet history. Then, between late 2006 and early 2007, 72% of these parents reported having done so.
Last year, Pew Research Center found that 61% of the parents they surveyed have checked to see which websites their kids have visited. Also interestingly, with the popularity of social media and cell phone use among teenagers [1], Pew Research found that 56% of parents have added their child as a friend or followed them on a social media network. Almost 1 in 2 parents in the Pew survey have checked the phone call or text messaging history on their teen’s cell phone.
About 2 in 5 parents install a filtering software to block certain websites or monitor online activity.
Our survey found that, in 2008, a large fraction of parents reported installing a software to filter their child’s access to certain websites or to monitor their child’s Internet activity. Similarly, Pew Research Center found that, last year, 42% of parents endorsed using software to block their kids from visiting inappropriate websites. Notably, parents with younger kids were more likely than parents of older teens to use these types of filtering/monitoring software.
Communication is key.
Remarkably and encouragingly, having conversations with kids about their online activity is far more common than installing a filtering or monitoring software on the computer. While this kind of software can be helpful in helping to keep kids away from inappropriate content, youth may figure out how to get around these safeguards. In fact, in our Growing up with Media survey, 1 in 4 youth whose computers had a filtering or monitoring software said they knew how to get around or disable it.
In contrast, talking with youth about their online activity can help establish trust between parents and their kids. By having a discussion, youth can better learn how to navigate the Internet. For example, Pew Research Center found that 1 in 3 parents have frequent discussions with their kids about how to appropriately interact with others online. Additionally, our Growing up with Media surveys found that most parents at least sometimes use the Internet alongside their child, which can provide an opportunity for parents to set an example of appropriate Internet use.
So, as much as the online world has changed in the past decade, parents’ involvement in their children’s technology use has not. This is good news for youth: While they may know more about the latest and greatest spaces to go online, parents tend to know more about how to make thoughtful decisions. Working together, we can help youth gain the skills they need to live healthy, technology-infused lives.
Note: The Growing up with Media Wave 3 survey included 13- to 18-year-old youth, whereas the Teen Relationships Study included 13- to 17-year-olds. Parents may have different rules for younger youth than older youth. | https://innovativepublichealth.org/blog/three-things-parents-do-about-online-safety-then-now/ |
Train your colleagues to recognize the signs of an attack.
The internet has become such a daily part of everybody’s lives that it would be difficult to imagine life without it. On average, according to the Office for National Statistics, 89% of adults in Great Britain use the internet at least weekly, and so for hackers, it is like a goldmine.
In the last 12 months, 72% of large businesses suffered a breach or attack, and through the different types of attacks, it is likely to cost nearly $2 trillion worldwide.
Malware prevention VS. Malware detection
While a virus can be detected and dealt with efficiently as the threat of cybercrime increases and is constantly evolving, companies and individuals alike need to learn how to be one step ahead to avoid having to deal with the attack as it’s happening.
Learning to be adequately protected, prepared and ready to prevent these attacks from happening in the first place is vital as these malware attacks are never going to disappear.
Secure your network by having multiple strong passwords for computers and wifi. A big thing to avoid is open wifi as this is an open invitation for people waiting to strike.
Regular backup to minimize data loss, such as icloud or google drive. These backups will ensure no matter what happens that your data is safe when preventing from a threat.
Most importantly think before you click, download documents or give away information, if it looks suspicious it probably is.
SIM-based attack has been used to spy on people for two years. Researchers say they've discovered a new vulnerability, nicknamed Simjacker, that's being used to surveil people's devices.

ETrust is very good. I also used it for a year FOC and liked it but when the period ran out, I installed Avast Free, plus ZA free firewall. It's free, auto-update, reliable, and so trouble and worry free. For spyware, I use Microsoft Antispyware beta as it is tops in conjunction with CW Shredder free stand alone. But I also retain Adaware and Spybot. For BHO's I use BHODemon. I,Me and Myself 13:15 05 Jul 05
Right, I am getting way too confused now! I have just downloaded AVAST antivirus - do I need to install it now or wait until my ETrust expires?I already have Spybot installed and am now going to get free firewall - do I uncheck the box for the Windows XP firewall once I have downloaded and installed it?What else should I have? Could you make things a bit easier to understand please! VoG II 13:22 05 Jul 05
Disconnect from the internet. Uninstall ETrust. Install Avast. Once you have installed the firewall, disable the Windows one. Stuartli 13:28 05 Jul 05
Avast also updates itself which is a boon...:-)By the way I used to sit on a committee with someone whose favourite opening remark was: "I myself, me personally, think that..." Stuartli 13:29 05 Jul 05
Don't forget to register Avast (it's free) to extend its use for a considerably longer period. You can then re-register to maintain its use (probably be a new version by then in any case). I,Me and Myself 14:01 05 Jul 05
I have to say thatnks to all of you who have helped me today. I have now installed Spybot, AVAST antivirus, ZoneAlarm Firewall, Microsoft Spyware (beta) and Ad-aware.

from the ok-this-time-try-20-percent-off dept.
Nerval's Lobster writes "Retail giant Target continues to drastically downplay the impact of the massive data breach it suffered during December, even while admitting the number of customers affected is nearly twice as large as it had previously estimated. Target admitted today the massive data breach it suffered during the Christmas shopping season was more than twice as large and far more serious than previously disclosed. A Jan. 10 press release admits the number of customers affected by the second-largest corporate data breach in history had increased from 40 million to 70 million, and that the data stolen included emails, phone numbers, street addresses and other information absent from the stolen transactional data that netted thieves 40 million debit- and credit-card numbers and PINs. ' As part of Target's ongoing forensic investigation, it has been determined that certain guest information — separate from the payment card data previously disclosed — was taken during the data breach' according to Target's statement. 'This theft is not a new breach, but was uncovered as part of the ongoing investigation.' The new revelation does represent a new breach, however, or at least the breach of an unrelated system during the period covered during the same attack, according to the few details Target has released. Most analysts and news outlets have blamed the breach on either the security of Target's Windows-based Point-of-Sale systems or the company's failure to fulfill its security obligations under the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)."
by Snotnose (212196) writes: 1) The breach was discovered in December, sounds like it's been going on for months.
2) I'd be very surprised if Target is the only entity that got breached. I keep waiting to hear "Oh, hey, 'member that Target thing? It's now a Walmart, Sears, TJ-Maxx, and Nordstroms thing".
About 20 years ago somebody behind me at a Detroit gas station had their tank of gas billed to my credit card. A few years ago Sony gave it all away. Next year I'm sure there will be another security breach. And the year after that. I shop in Target every week with my Target credit card, and I will continue to do so. They are going to get you one way or another. Or they aren't.
Target obviously screwed up, their security was lax, their investigation is pathetic, their forth coming with the news leaves alot to be desired. But I'm not going to kill myself, cut up all my credit cards and start using cash, or leave the country. I don't blame people for not shopping there anymore, or switching to cash, but I just don't care anymore. This shit happens all the time, every day people have their identity stolens, it sucks, but it's part of everyday life now, no getting around it. Well suppose tehre's the Amish way, but thats just not for me.
by mysidia (191772) writes: Stupidity does not equal fraud No, but the above poster may be attempting to make an argument for shared guilt.
That Target's negligence was so severe that it facilitated frauds which other actors will be committing, to the point of "aiding and abetting" the criminals who stole the numbers and other data and are in the process of hoc'ing them for fraudulent use.
by mysidia (191772) writes: If it was exposed to the internet, someone went out of their way to be stupid or to steal.
Must apply Hanlon's razor here. Someone probably did something stupid.
by mysidia (191772) writes: if you let this kind of thing happen via lax security, your business should be halted, dissolved, and the proceeds divided between the affected people. If it didn't happen to the Comodo certificate authority, who had signed a bunch of rogue SSL certificates: when their whole business model is to be a cert provider of reliable verified trust, then it won't happen to Target.

Unless you are inherently fearful, danger tends to live in the realm of abstraction until something bad happens in reality. Recently a couple we know insisted my wife and I go out and try tandem bicycling with them. My wife regularly goes for 60-, 70-, 80-, even 100-mile rides on her own bike. I’m more of an occasional rider, but I’ve owned and ridden multi-geared bikes of one sort or another since about 1970.
The $10,000 bike this couple let us borrow didn’t feel right to either one of us. Custom-made, titanium beauty that it was, it felt hard to tame, even when I tried it myself in a parking lot. Uneasily, we climbed on and plunged out onto Rock Creek Parkway in Montgomery County — a narrow road with plenty of car traffic. I wasn’t comfortable with the shifters. The thing felt wobbly and too tall. We didn’t make it a half mile before crashing, one of us landing on either side of this elongated contraption. Cars stopped, people jumped out to help. Other bikes stopped to see if we were alive. The biggest cost was pride. But my left hand still hurts nearly a month later, as does my wife’s tailbone. And the episode set us back $310 for a new shifter.
Lessons learned: Practice where there’s no traffic and you can weave a lot. Learn to use foreign shifters beforehand. Get your road legs on a cheap, low-slung bike (you can buy a whole new tandem bike for $310). Don’t ignore your misgivings.
If we were a government agency, I’d say we didn’t do a good risk assessment, and we didn’t integrate our software with the hardware very well. We had what could have been a doomsday scenario, literally.
Until now, it seems as if federal cybersecurity has been operating on a wing and a prayer, too. The OPM data breach shattered whatever complacency anyone might have had. As it recedes into the past, the 30-day cyber sprint has left a lasting legacy. Not simply that federal systems are more thoroughly protected than they were. They may well be, but success in cybersecurity is ephemeral. Like a sand castle, you can never stop shoring it up. In one sense, every month should be a 30-day sprint.
And not simply that the sprint got everyone to realize at once how basic cybersecurity is to everything else the government has to do. And how poor the government is at it. That also may have happened.
Read this summary of the Office of Management and Budget’s after-action report from the sprint. Not the one for public consumption, but the internal one, which Federal News Radio’s Jason Miller got to see. It showed:
Some 75 open vulnerabilities identified, two thirds of them festering for more than 30 days. Only 60 percent of them patched, and new ones keep popping up. At least agencies know to look for them now.
Old software running past the end of vendor support, including new patches.
The weakness of two-factor authentication in the face of super-realistic phishing e-mails.
Privileged access rights to networks given out willy nilly.
I think the most important effect of the near-doomsday breach and subsequent sprint was driving home the need for an architectural approach to cybersecurity, taking it down to the storage hardware level. Here’s one example. The White House called this week for ideas pursuant to its Precision Medicine Initiative. The idea is to eventually gather health information on millions of people so it can be mined for trends leading to more personalized medical treatments than people have now. Among the areas for which it seeks suggestions: “Technology to support the storage and analysis of large amounts of data, with strong security safeguards.” Cybersecurity is embedded throughout the call for comments. That’s a good sign.
Industry is starting to offer new approaches. The other week I was talking to people from Seagate, a disk drive and storage subsystem OEM. It’s part of a coalition of network equipment and software companies that contribute to what they call a Multi-Level Security Ecosystem. In the federal market, Lockheed-Martin and Vion offer it as a secure storage and file system for high-performance simulation and modeling applications that fuse together large, disparate data sets.
Seagate Federal’s Henry Newman explains, the company built a set of services on top of SELinux to accommodate functions such as network communications, database access and data sharing across parallel file systems. So, for example, a large set of video surveillance could be engineered such that access to individual files are restricted to certain individuals based on their authorities. Personally identifiable information, compliance information or intellectual property within a system can be made subject to access controls and auditing, while limiting the need for expensive hardware redundancy.
Other contributors to the MLE ecosystem include supercomputer makers Cray and SGI, log analytics vendor Splunk, and Altair, a maker of job scheduling and management software.
Government practitioners like to say security should be built in, not bolted on. But they usually bolt it on. The Multilevel Secure group is just one example, but it shows where systems deployment is heading where security is baked in.
Do you sunbathe? You shouldn’t in this day of hypersensitivity about skin cancer. But if you do, the sunlight falling on your liver-spotted, lizard-like skin has been traveling through space for about nine minutes. When you gaze at the night sky and see Alpha Centauri, you probably remember from grade school that light from that nearby planet takes about 4.3 years to get to earth.
If something like a Burning Man festival were held on Alpha Centauri, you wouldn’t know about it until 4.3 years after it was over. Too late to load up your Airstream and get there in time for the fun. Most stars are so far away, they probably collapsed into black holes a billion years ago, yet all we see is merry twinkling millennium after millennium.
Not to over-dramatize, but this is how things are in cybersecurity — specifically intrusion detection. When the Office of Personnel Management was patching its systems, it discovered its great breach, months after the break had occurred. It might have been still more months before anyone noticed the anomaly. It reminds me of a corny roadside display in Pennsylvania when i was a kid. A sign on a little barn said, “World’s Biggest Steer Inside.” When you pulled over and peered in the window, you saw a big jagged hole in the back of the barn, a chain lying in the dirt, and another sign, “Too bad, guess he got away!” There must’ve been a gift shop or goat’s milk fudge stand nearby.
This is one of the big problems with modern-day cyber attacks. Too often, IT and security staffs only find out about them long after the damage has been done and the hackers moved on to other soft targets. If it takes seconds or minutes to exfiltrate data, what good does discovering it do next year?
I recently spoke with John Stewart, one of the top security guys at Cisco. The topic was Cisco’s Midyear Security Report. Here’s my summary: Federal IT and security people, like everyone else, have plenty to worry about. Like the fact that a thousand new security product vendors have started up in the last five years, yet most of them sell non-interoperable software. Or that the white-hat, good-guys side of the cybersecurity equation is literally about a million qualified people short.
Yet among the most seemingly intractable problems lies time-to-detection, or how long on average it takes for organizations to find out they’ve been hacked. This makes it likely that many more successful attacks have occurred than systems administrators are aware of. Stewart says most of the data show that IT staffs routinely take months to detect breaches. A major goal of the products industry and practitioners’ skill sets must therefore be getting time-to-detection down to seconds. At this point, I’ll bet many federal agencies would be happy with days or hours.
Malicious hackers aren’t standing still, the Cisco report points out. They’re switch vectors and modalities at lightning speed. They’re using wealth transfer techniques that stretch law enforcement’s ability to detect. Stewart says, systems like Bitcoin and the murky avenues of the dark web don’t include or even require the typical middlemen of the surface financial transaction world — such as banks, transfer networks, mules. He describes the bad-hacker industry using a term the government likes to use for itself: innovative.
Embedded IP domains and fungible URLs, jacking up data write-rewrite cycles to dizzying speeds, or quietly turning trusted systems into automated spies in the time it takes someone to go for coffee — that kind of thing. You might call it agility. They’re dancing circles around systems owners. The hacking community has become wickedly innovative at evading detection, Stewart says, exploiting the common systems and software everyone uses routinely.
He adds that the motivations of bad hackers have blossomed into a veritable bouquet. They go after systems for espionage, theft of money or intellectual property, terrorism, political activism, service disruption and even outright destruction. That’s a good case for the so-called risk-based approach to cybersecurity planning. If you’re a utility, disruption or destruction is more likely to be the hackers’ goal. If you’re a database of people with clearance, espionage and theft are good bets.
Answers? As cybersecurity people like to say, there is no silver bullet. Stewart says nations will have to cooperate more, tools will have to improve, people will have to get smarter. Cisco hopes to build some sort of architecture framework into which the polyglot of cyber tools can plug, reducing what he calls the friction of integration.
With my wife at the wheel, we swing off Route 21 in New Jersey onto E 46. The GPS in the dash of our new Subaru is guiding us to Saratoga Springs, NY for the weekend. Kitty-corner from the exit is a big bilboard that reads, “WHO IS JESUS? CALL 855-FOR-TRUTH. Nice and succinct. I admired the certitude, but didn’t try the number.
The car is filled with slightly more mystifying tech. Somewhere I read the average modern car has 200 microprocessors. How many lines of code do they run, I wonder? No matter, the car does what it’s supposed to. Anyone who ever dealt with distributor caps, points and engine timing lights appreciates the way today’s cars work.
The GPS-bluetooth-navigation complex in the dash is another matter. It’s a mishmash of hard-to-follow menus. No matter what we do, every time we turn on the car, the podcasts on my wife’s phone starts up. As for navigation, no two systems I’ve ever seen work quite the same way, at least their user interfaces don’t. Voice commands can be ambiguous, and if occasionally directs you off the highway only to direct you right back on again.
This same overload is ruining many web sites, as it has many once-simple applications. No wonder people love apps, in the sense of applications designed or adapted to work easily and quickly on the small touch screens of mobile devices. Standards like Word, Outlook, iTunes and many other have become so choked with features and choices, I’ve practically given up on them. I can figure out what they do, but it’s all too much, too fussy and time-consuming to manage.
The major media sites are so choked with links — most of them for ads, sponsor content, and unrelated junk such as 24 celebrity face-lifts gone horribly wrong — that you can barely navigate them with out constant, unwanted and frustrating detours.
The drive to make software more and more functional may be behind what seems to be a disturbing trend towards failures in critical systems. They’ve happened a lot lately. In fact, it happened first rather close to home. Literally a minute before going on the air one recent morning, the system that delivers scripts and audio segments failed. A Federal News Radio, we’d gone paperless for a year, reading scripts online and saving a package of printing paper every day. Talking, trying to sound calm, ad-libbing while gesticulating wildly to my producer — that’s what a software crash causes. Controlled panic. Panic, anyhow. It took the engineers an hour to fix. It turned out, a buffer overflow crashed the Active Directory on which the broadcast content environment depends for user privileges. So down it went with the ship.
It was the same day United Airlines passenger boarding system failed, apparently the result of lingering incompatibility from the merger with Continental. And the same day that the New York Stock Exchange famously experienced an hours-long crash, reportedly because of network connectivity issue. Earlier in the month, a hardware-software interaction interrupted for two weeks the State Department’s globally-distributed system for issuing visas.
Successive program managers for the F-35 fighters have all complained they can’t get the software development for this fussy and delicate airplane in any sort of predictable schedule. Yet the plane is unflyable and unmaintainable without its software.
In short, two problems linger with software controlled systems. They can be difficult to interact with. And in their complexity they produce effects even expert operators can’t foresee. I believe this is the basis for the spreading appeal of agile development. It forces people to develop in pieces small enough that people can keep track of what is going on. And in ways that the users can assimilate easily.
Complexity, or the desire to avoid it, is why people like apps on mobile devices. I confess to checking Buzzfeed on my phone when I’m bored. The content is inane, but it’s such a fast, simple app, like eating gumdrops. I recently checked out the regular Web site of Buzzfeed, and sure enough, it’s a confusing kaleidoscope. Although, an ice cream cone swaddled in Cocoa Krispies does sound good.
In reality, Archuleta’s departure solves nothing fundamental. But she had to go, as I’m sure she understood probably from the moment she peered over the edge and realized — long before most everyone else — the size of the abyss caused by The Data Breach. Talk about big data. As primarily a politician, Archuleta must have realized that she would eventually take the fall for the administration, which of course is ultimately responsible. That’s the way of Washington; always has been. Katherine Archuleta isn’t a horrible person, nor do we have any reason to think she didn’t have the best interests of federal employees at heart. But as President Obama’s campaign manager who secured a visible, plum job, she would get it: This goes with the territory.
And the more the White House spokesman, a sort of latter day Ron Ziegler, pushed culpability away from the administration in the aftermath of Thursday afternoon’s revelation, the more it’s clear the White House itself knows it is somehow responsible for potentially messing up 22 million lives, compromising national security, and making the government look totally incompetent.
“There are significant challenges that are faced not just by the federal government, but by private-sector entities as well. This is a priority of the president,” the spokesman said. Yeah, well, the vulnerabilities of OPM’s systems and the Interior Department facility that houses them existed seven years ago and before that. The incoming just happened to land and explode now. Now we can presume they really, really are a priority.
So now what? It will fall to Beth Colbert, the deputy director for management at the White House, to salve the wounds.
And Obama himself ought to voice his personal concern over this. Some things that occur externally do get to presidents personally. Johnson and Nixon waded into crowds of Vietnam protesters. But more than that, some concrete things should happen:
The White House should convene a meeting of the CIO Council to make it clear the 30-day cyber sprint ordered by Federal CIO Tony Scott is now a year-long effort.
Pressure test every important system in the government. Hire the top corporate cybersecurity experts — a group populated in part by some famous formerly malevolent hackers — and have them bang away until they find all the weaknesses. Then give agency heads one working week to prove their vulnerabilities are plugged. Two-factor authentication, encryption of data at rest — for heaven’s sake do it already.
Hire a tiger team to install Einstein 3A in every agency by July 31st, never mind December 31st. Require the internet service providers to do whatever it takes to make their inbound traffic compatible with this system. If Einstein 3A is so good, how come it’s taken so long?
I know what you’re saying. Yes, it does sound naive. I wasn’t born last night either. This is one of those times, though, that requires an all-out effort. For years we’ve heard warnings of a cyber 9/11. Well, we just had one.
This data loss was no third-rate burglary. Mr. President, America is under attack.
At the end of a long cul-de-sac at the bottom of a steep hill, our house sat near a storm sewer opening that in my memory is a couple of yards or so wide. If you poked your head down the opening and looked in the right direction, you could see daylight where the culvert emptied into a sort of open catch basin. None of us ever had the nerve to slip into the drain and walk through the dark pipe to come out in the catch basin, maybe 300 yards away. But that is where, at the age of maybe 5 or 6 years old, I realized a vast network of drainage pipes existed under our street, beneath our houses. That culvert fascinated me and my friends endlessly. We’d try to peer at one other from each end, or shout to see if our voices would carry. Or, after a rain, we’d drop a paper boat down the opening and see how long it would take to flow into the catch basin.
That sewer is like the Internet. Underneath the manifest “streets” that are thoroughly used and mapped lies a vast subterranean zone with its own stores of data. Some experts say the surface or easily accessed Internet holds only 4 percent of what’s out there. Much of the out-of-view, deep Internet consists of intellectual property that people — like academics or scientists — want to keep to themselves or share only with people they choose. But other areas lie within the deep Internet where criminal and terrorist elements gather and communicate. That’s called the dark Internet. It’s also where dissidents who might be targeted by their own country communicate with one another. To people using regular browsers and search engines, this vast online zone is like a broadcast occurring at a frequency you need a special antenna to detect.
At the recent GEOINT conference, held for the first time in Washington, I heard a theme from several companies: Agencies will need to exploit the deep web and its subset dark web to keep up with these unsavory elements. The trend in geographical intelligence is mashing up multiple, non-geographic data sources with geographic data. In this and a subsequent post I’ll describe some of the work going on. In this post, I’ll describe work at two companies, one large and one small. They have in common some serious chops in GEOINT.
Mashup is the idea behind a Lockheed-Martin service called Halogen. Clients are intelligence community and Defense agencies, but it’s easy to see how many civilian agencies could benefit from it. Matt Nieland, a former Marine Corps intelligence officer and the program manager for the product, says the Halogen team, from its operations center somewhere in Lockheed, responds to requests from clients for unconventional intel. This requires data from the deep internet. It may be inaccessible to ordinary tools, but it still falls into publicly available data. Neiland draws a crude sketch in my notebook like a potato standing on end. The upper thin slice is the ordinary Internet. A tiny slice on the bottom is the dark element. The bulk of the potato represents the deep.
Halogen uses the surface, searchable Internet in the unclassified realm. Analysts ingest material like news feeds, social media, Twitter. They mix in material that is inaccessible to standard browsers and search engines, but are neither secret nor requiring hacking. It does take skill with the anonymizing Tor browser and knowledge of how to find the lookup tables giving URLs that otherwise look like gibberish. Beyond that, Nieland says Lockheed has contacts with people around the world who can verify what it finds online. Halogen’s secret sauce is the proprietary algorithms and trade craft its analysts use to create intel products.
At the opposite end of the size spectrum from Lockheed Martin, OGSystems assembles teams of non-traditional, mostly West Coast companies to help federal agencies solve unusual problems in cybersecurity and intel, or problems they can’t find solutions for in the standard federal contractors. CEO Omar Balkissoon says the company specializes in getting non-traditional people to think about traditional questions. A typical project is the Jivango community where agencies can source answers to GEOINT questions.
OGSystems calls its R&D section VIPER Labs, crafts services, techniques and data products for national security. At GEOINT I walked to a big monitor by Jessica Thomas, a data analyst and team leader at VIPER Labs. She’s working on a OSINT (open source intelligence) product for finding and stopping human traffickers and people who exploit minors. It’s a good example of mashing up non-GEO data with GEO. The product uses an ontology used by law enforcement and national security types of words found on shady Web sites and postings to them that may be markers for this type of activity. Thomas pulled two weeks worth of posting traffic and used a geo-coding algorithm to map it to the rough locations of the IP addresses. Posters tend to be careless about how easy it is to reverse-lookup IP addresses to get a general area from where it originated. In many cases, posts included phone numbers. It wasn’t long before clusters of locations emerged indicating a possible network of human trafficking.
An enthusiastic Tor user, Thomas wants to add dark Internet material to her trafficking data mashup. She also hopes to incorporate photo recognition, and sentiment analysis that can detect emotion within language found on a web site. She says OGSystems has applied for a grant to develop its trafficking detection technology into a tool useful for wildlife trafficking — a major source of funding for terror-criminal groups like El Shabab.
Next week, some amazing things text documents can add to GEOINT.
Some big stories become defined by the people and the emotions connected to them. The earliest news memory burned into my gray cells occurred on November 22, 1963. Emerging from my third grade classroom, I recall the emotions of the clustering Walking home, I remember my mother in tears before our black-and-white RCA console TV, declaring to me and, I guess, heaven, “Someday there will be another Kennedy in the White House!” I’m not certain I have direct memory of Walter Cronkite pulling off his heavy glasses, having seen the kinescopes of that moment replayed periodically through the years.
We remember other big stories for their remarkable numbers and statistics. Not that it lacks emotional content, but the Bernard Madoff crime is notable for its sheer audacity of size, expressible in lurid statistics: 11 federal felonies, $65 billion in fraudulently stated gains, 150 years in the slammer. Who knows, the word “Madoff” could well replace the word “Ponzi” in the vernacular reference to really big frauds against innocent individuals.
OPM’s data breach, which has spawned its own hashtag — the new form of vernacular among what might kindly be called the vulgate — is a numbers story, leavened by the justifiable frustration and anger of the employees involved. Mike Causey likens this story to The Blob (one of my all-time favorite movies). Here the horror is underscored by numbers:
4.2 million feds and retirees affected
36 hours between OPM hanging out the notice of the credit monitoring services requirement and awarding a contract.
$21 million for the credit monitoring services so far.
This is one of those drip-drip stories in which details come out serially, although not all that clearly. From one of the congressional hearings we got a sense of how much more money OPM thinks it will need. In a kind of symmetry, Archuleta says OPM may need still another $21 million in 2016 to button up its systems. The agency has asked for a total of $32 million more for 2016, but is also saying the total cost of the breach could be as hight as $80 million. That figure won’t buy a wing assembly for an F-35, but it’s a significant figure against OPM’s roughly $400 million spending authority.
In business, bad results tend to bring on one of two outcomes. Either your budget gets cut. Or the money becomes available to fix the problem, but you don’t get to spend it because you’re gone.
So where are all the numbers and this story headed? It’s not over yet. We still don’t know the full extent of how many names, Social Security numbers and SF-86 forms were taken. When that many people are affected, it’s hard to make it disappear. We still have yet to learn the motivation of the data thieves, which means millions will be holding their breath for a long time.
As an unseen benefit, every other agency is scrambling to make sure it’s not the next OPM. One departmental CIO told me as much just the other day. Software vendors will have Christmas in the summer as agencies get serious about two-factor authentication, continuous diagnostics and mitigation and the tools that go with them. Homeland Security is scrambling to get Einstein 3A into place. So, some silver linings.
No TV news anchor pulled off his glasses and put them on again to mask emotional turmoil over the OPM breach. But at least the lessons learned, as the government likes to say, will stick this time.
Dog trainers like to say there are no bad dogs, only bad owners. I know. We have a now-elderly greyhound. She rules the roost, mostly. But because of her mild personality, she’s never out of control, never pulls on the leash, and has never so much as made a growl at anyone. Mostly she saunters into the middle of the room and lays on her back, her tummy available for anyone who cares to rub it.
But leave a hamburger on the counter, a cold drink on a side table, or an unattended dinner plate of food, and oh boy. Don’t turn your back. She’ll pretty much have it devoured before you can turn around and say, “No!” One time the extended family retired to the living room and family room after Thanksgiving dinner. After putting away some dishes I went into the dining room to pull the tablecloth. There was Lizzie, atop of the dining room table, licking up crumbs and tidbits.
Unlike China, which denies everything when it is caught stealing data, a dog caught stealing food looks at you and says through her eyes, “What did I do? You left it there.”
A young Lizzie cleaning up after Thanksgiving.
This is what I thought of when reading comments former CIA Director Michael Hayden made to a Wall Street Journal conference regarding the awful database breach. The U.S. personnel records were “a legitimate foreign intelligence target,” Hayden said. He added that our intelligence apparatus would do the same thing if it had half a chance. Hayden said he wouldn’t have thought twice about grabbing any Chinese government database the CIA could.
“This is not ‘shame on China.’ This is ‘shame on us’ for not protecting that kind of information,” Hayden said.
OPM left a juicy, sizzling hamburger on the counter. The dog snatched it.
Perhaps the U.S. government does do the same thing to rival nations. We don’t know for sure. Let’s hope so, because at the least it would leave things in a rough state of Spy vs Spy equilibrium. Because it is justifiably embarrassed, and because it can’t really do anything about Chinese cyber behavior, the accusations from the administration have been mild and sporadic.
Unfortunately, I see no other recourse other than for OPM Director Katherine Archuleta to resign. I don’t say this with any satisfaction. Not that she was personally responsible for the breach. Not that she’s a bad person. But the warnings were there, she had the knowledge that the hacked systems were behind on their FISMA certifications, and of the string of attacks going back a year. It all happened on her watch and it potentially harmed enough people to fill New York City, Chicago, Baltimore and Dallas. It’s not that she was personally malfeasant, it’s just goes with the territory. Had a rocket landed on the OPM building, that would have been one thing. But an egregious organizational performance lapse of this scale claims the person ultimately responsible.
Recall what happened back in 2012 at the General Services Administration. A conference 18 months earlier on which regional officials spent indiscreetly and contracted criminally came to light. Administrator Martha Johnson resigned before the reason why became known. Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki toughed it out for a while, but ultimately had to step down after the drip-drip-drip of bad news from the patient scheduling scandal of last year.
OPM, as Francis Rose points out, has lost its credibility. Now it needs new leadership to restore it. | https://ttemin.wordpress.com/tag/cyber-security/ |
If you want the best virus protection out there, Kaspersky, Bitdefender, and Avira are the top three. ThreatTrack and Comodo, meanwhile, are among the worst.
That’s according the latest round of tests by AV Test, an independent IT security institute based in Megdeburg, Germany. The firm’s December 2015 results for Windows 8.1 devices compared 20 different anti-malware programs for protection, performance, and usability.
Usability, which rates how many false positives a given application shows users after testing.
By these metrics, the best possible antivirus will detect nearly all actual malware, will not use up a lot of system resources, and will not see malware where none exists. The chart makes for an interesting overview, but download the complete report and you can dig more into the specifics.
For example: At this point, most applications catch over 99 percent of well-known malware. Many, including Kaspersky and BitDefender, caught absolutely everything. But Comodo was shown to be particularly weak here, catching only 96.1 percent of the known malware that should be easy to spot.
The real difference comes when you get to 0-day malware, which is yet to be documented widely but is possible to spot based on patterns. Nearly half the programs tested caught everything; most caught over 98 percent. ThreatTrack, however, caught a pitiful 78.3 percent. Also weak in this category: Microsoft’s Windows Defender, which is the protection included with Windows right out of the box, and which demonstrated only a 90-percent catch rate.
But there is such a thing as being too zealous: pointing out malware where none exists can confuse users and waste time. AhnLab’s software seems to enjoy falsely labeling legitimate software as malware, with 18 installed programs falsely identified. F-Secure also falsely declared nine legitimate apps as malware. Most programs didn’t do this, however, or only falsely labeled one app.
This all could change, of course — malware is a fast-moving world, and this month’s test results might not stand up next month. That’s why it’s good that AV Test is regularly running these tests, to keep the security companies accountable. | https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/avtest-antivirus-windows-most-effective/ |
Back in 1999, VMware broke new ground with the launch of its first virtualization product, which allowed multiple operating systems to run on a single computer. In the years since, virtualization of IT resources has swept through data centers around the world — and for good reason.
With server virtualization, you can turn a single physical host into multiple virtual systems, each running its own OS and applications. This ability to break a big computing resource into lots of smaller virtual machines helps IT shops increase asset utilization, accelerate provisioning, gain agility and more.
But what about high performance computing? Until recently, HPC systems haven’t seen a lot of virtualization, in part because of concerns about potential performance penalties stemming from the addition of a layer of software — a hypervisor — between the operating system and the hardware. But today, this is changing, as organizations are increasingly virtualizing HPC systems.
So what’s behind this emerging trend? We took up this topic in an interview with Chuck Gilbert, an HPC technologist in the Dell Technologies Office of the CTO. What follows are a few excepts from our interview with Chuck.
Q: Why would anyone look closely at virtualizing HPC or AI workloads?
CG: With the change in the complexity and the number of tools that are available to researchers and IT workers, administrators and scientists, there is an increasing need for the ability to rapidly build composable, flexible environments to support a very diverse and ever-evolving set of research needs.
A traditional HPC infrastructure is going to have a certain set of common tools installed, a queuing system installed and a traditional module system to load the software pieces. A lot of the emerging tools that we are seeing in the space require the ability to rapidly spin up and spin down unique disparate HPC environments. These tools include AI and machine learning, new and improved web-driven tools from an HPC workflow standpoint, new graphical interactive tools and visualization support.
In a traditional HPC environment, it doesn’t play well. In a virtualized environment, you can afford the easy ability to use elastic composable compute on top of a set of common hardware. By taking advantage of the different software-defined components that exist in a virtualized platform, an IT service provider can customize the environment and the experience for the researcher or end user in order to support their diverse needs, rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach.
Q: What are HPC workloads like before virtualization versus after?
CG: Depending on how you deploy and configure your virtualized environment, the workloads are no different when virtualized. You can set up a standard HPC software scheduler, whether it is using SLURM or another type of open source scheduling package, to interact with virtualized compute nodes in the same way that you interact with bare-metal compute nodes.
There are a lot of things that could be done to make the overall experience seamless and transparent to the end user, but what administrators, operators and service providers are getting on the backend is the ability to do things better. With virtualization, they can increase the overall utilization of HPC systems and drive flexibility in the hardware configurations. They also gain the ability to easily manage, update and deploy new hardware using a common set of automated and scalable best practices.
Q: People running HPC workloads want all the performance they can get. Naturally, they are concerned that virtualization will impact performance. What are your thoughts on that?
CG: If you look at the current performance impacts of a hypervisor today, it’s clear we have come a long way in terms of reducing the overhead that [VMware] ESXi or any type of hypervisor technology can impact on physical resources.
In this scenario, you can get anywhere from 1 percent to 4 percent as the maximum overhead impact on a physical resource. If you think about the gains in operational efficiency, flexibility, programmability and ease of maintenance, you could say, “Yes, there may be a little bit of an impact on performance, but is 1 percent to 4 percent really worth arguing against all of the advantages that I am getting from an operational and flexibility standpoint?”
In most cases, if we look across even a physical HPC infrastructure — except in the cases of very large leadership-class systems that are being tuned down to the very micro-code level on a constant basis — those operational efficiencies are going to outweigh any potential slight impact or overhead from a performance standpoint that stems from running on top of a hypervisor.

Cloud-based services and infrastructures provide organizations with the agility and flexibility needed to stay competitive. However, the security solutions deployed alongside these services often take the form of a heterogeneous set of technologies and disparate security controls in various cloud environments, leading to gaps in protection.
This article explores the main factors that must be considered when building a cloud security strategy—including platform security, application security, and network security—and how those strategies form a cohesive whole.
Three Key Areas of a Cloud Security Strategy
The ultimate goal in developing a cloud security strategy is to unify security solutions deployed across cloud infrastructures, applications, and connections so that visibility and control can be managed centrally on a single platform. Such a comprehensive strategy must enable monitoring and response across three different levels within the cloud environment.
First and most critical is the cloud platform and infrastructure itself must be secure – this is the backbone that the cloud itself is built upon. This includes securing any software-as-a-service (SaaS) usage while also providing infrastructure visibility and control. Second, any cloud-based applications that connect internally and externally across clouds must be secured thereby protecting the application and its underlying data. And third, security must be integrated at the network level to ensure gaps in protection don’t occur at the network or multi-cloud level.
Platform Security
Securing a cloud platform can be further broken down into four primary areas of concern: SaaS security, infrastructure visibility and control, compliance, and security management and analytics.
SaaS in the cloud offers flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness over on-premises software deployment. However, because these services are so convenient, it often leads to cloud sprawl within an organization, making it difficult to manage associated security risks. To address this problem, the FortiCASB-SaaS cloud access security broker service leverages APIs for SaaS applications to monitor all activity and configurations across all SaaS services. This includes providing complete visibility of usage, monitoring for malware and data loss, control of resource consumption, and more.
Misconfiguration is one of the leading causes of cloud-related risk. To secure cloud use at the infrastructure level, a tool like FortiCWP can provide the necessary comprehensive cloud workload protection by leveraging the public cloud management API. FortiCWP provides cloud infrastructure visibility and control, including risk management, data security, traffic analysis, and threat protection.
FortiCWP can also create compliance reports. Adding on FortiSIEM can provide a more comprehensive compliance picture across multiple clouds and third-party products, while FortiAnalyzer and FortiManager allow for the collection of logs and management of changes.
Application Security
Cloud-based applications are vulnerable to threats as well as compliance issues. According to the 2020 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, 43% of all data breaches result from web-based application hacks. Fortinet’s fabric-based approach to web application security makes use of machine learning to block attacks with nearly perfect accuracy and also includes a virtual firewall, threat update feed, and a cloud-based sandbox.
The Fortinet Security Fabric goes beyond traditional point security solutions by using open standards and protocols to integrate multiple security devices into a single system that can span a multi-cloud environment. This, in turn, prevents security gaps and siloed solutions while making it possible to manage and automate security features from a single dashboard.
Solutions of particular value that can be integrated into this approach include FortiWeb, a web application firewall that secures web services APIs. Additionally, FortiGate-VM—the virtual cousin of FortiGate Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW)—enables central enforcement of security policies and increased visibility. Finally, the FortiSandbox cloud service allows for dynamic analysis to detect previously unknown threats. These tools additionally enable security for all stages of container deployment and support faster development.
Network Security
The final piece to consider in any cloud security strategy is the protection of connectivity between data centers and clouds. Traditionally, the security measures deployed in this space tend to be inconsistent and complicated to manage, leading to security gaps. Once again, the Fortinet Security Fabric can help fill these gaps and simplify the overall strategy.
Key elements that can contribute to a secure network include FortiGate NGFW, which provides secure connectivity and network segmentation, FortiGate-VM, which can securely communicate and share consistent policies with NGFWs, FortiManager, which simplifies management across the entire enterprise, and FortiAnalyzer, which allows for analysis, reporting, and archiving security events.
Centralized security management via a cloud security services hub helps unify disparate environments, provide visibility, and enable consistent security policy enforcement without hindering the work of developers using these environments. Comprehensive network security also enables secure, on-demand remote access from anywhere, which can’t be achieved with traditional remote access VPNs.
Additional benefits of this fabric-based approach to network security include high-speed connectivity that doesn’t compromise performance, the ability for teams to develop security solutions autonomously and dynamically adjust security policies, and blocking of lateral attack movement.
Cloud Security – Putting It All Together
Fortinet Adaptive Cloud Security Solutions make it possible to address cloud security at the platform, application, and network levels all under one umbrella with single-pane-of-glass visibility and control, and consistent policies. This empowers organizations to secure any application on any cloud.
A fabric-based approach takes security beyond a complex collection of point solutions or a hub and spoke model matching the network structure by creating a meshed security network that enables communication between all security functions while maintaining central visibility and management capabilities. Not only does this model provide more comprehensive and less complex protection, but it scales and adapts easily to change—which is vital in a world where technology progresses at break-neck speeds and threat landscapes continue to expand.

A critical security vulnerability has been identified in Python that has not been updated for 15 years, leaving more than 350,000 open source projects vulnerable to attacks.
The vulnerability tracked as CVE-2007-4559 exists in the “Tarfile” module of Python, which is widely used in frameworks created by Netflix, AWS, Intel, Facebook, Google, and applications used for machine learning, automation, and docker containerization available via file. The tarfile module makes it possible to read and write tar archives, including gzip, bz2 and lzma compressed files. A successful exploit allows threat actors to execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system or take control of a target system.
There is no update or mitigation suggestion to fix the said vulnerability. Therefore, thousands of Python projects are still vulnerable to vulnerability. In this context, it is recommended that the updates that are likely to be published regarding the vulnerability should be followed regularly and implemented immediately if published. | https://brandefense.io/security-news/tarfile-the-15-years-old-critical-python-vulnerability-affects-more-than-350000-projects/ |
