Today’s remote work landscape has created challenges for the protection, monitoring and regulation of an organisation’s data. From home, employees access data on a variety of devices and applications to stay connected. The informality of working from home can also translate into more lax cybersecurity maintenance. As a result, data is more scattered. Mimecast Cloud Archive (MCA) can help tackle this challenge both during and after the Covid-19 pandemic.
Undoubtedly, Microsoft 365 is the backbone of business communications and productivity worldwide. Mimecast’s 2020 State of Email Security Report found that 96 per cent of businesses choose Microsoft as their email provider, though 65 per cent of these businesses have already added or are in the process of adding extra layers of continuity and cyber resilience to enhance their existing suite. Mimecast Enterprise Information Cloud Archiving, a six- year-running leader in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Information Archiving, complements organisations’ Microsoft foundation by helping with key features such as data migration.
Enterprises migrating data from legacy platforms to best-of-breed cloud archiving face several challenges with cost, time and complexity. As a result, they struggle to access the value of modern cloud initiatives and choose inaction instead of embarking on a migration path towards Mimecast.
Mimecast Simply Migrate, integrated into the MCA, provides frictionless, cost-effective migration with increased speed, flexible cost models to reduce capital expenditures, visibility and reporting of the migration process, and flexibility to work with third-party connectors. The result is alignment with your regulatory compliance requirements, support for rapid e- discovery, and flexible retention management for managing corporate information.
In addition to state-of-the-art migration capabilities, MCA enables businesses to respond accurately, efficiently and with confidence to legal and regulatory investigations, from General Data Protection Regulation compliance to internal audits and other queries. Our governance and compliance toolkit comes equipped with advanced search for reliable e-discovery, early case assessment tools, advanced legal hold review, and supervision and reporting capabilities that improve visibility and ensure compliance.
MCA is an essential companion to Microsoft 365, providing relentless protection with smarter security, critical data protection and resilient communication.
Technology Record provides news and thought leadership on Microsoft and partner technology in automotive, financial services, communications and media, manufacturing, public sector, and retail and hospitality.
Via a quarterly magazine, website and app, Technology Record covers industry trends, product launches and executive insights. | https://www.technologyrecord.com/Article/enhancing-data-protection-with-mimecast-and-microsoft-365-120098 |

By Renata / November 21, 2010 / No Comments With the grassroots backlash over the TSA’s obscene pat-downs growing by the day, it’s becoming fairly obvious that the only way the U.S. government is going to get the public to accept these Fourth Amendment violations is if there is another “terrorist incident” that’s stopped by the TSA and its naked body scanners.
So far, the TSA is molesting children, teens and grannies without being able to demonstrate that this gross violation of Americans’ Fourth Amendment rights is having any effect whatsoever on improving air travel safety. But if there’s anything to be learned from 9/11, it’s that the sheeple are always willing to give up their rights if they can be scared into doing so. (http://www.naturalnews.com/030452_R…) “After 9/11 people were scared and when people are scared they’ll do anything for someone who will make them less scared,” said Bruce Schneier, a Minneapolis security technology expert, in an AP story (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20101121…). “But [this TSA] is particularly invasive. It’s strip-searching. It’s body groping. As abhorrent goes, this pegs it.”
TSA is fighting for its survival
The TSA is being threatened right now in a big way: One airport in Florida is already planning to ditch the agency and hire private contractors to run security. A NYC lawmaker has called for the “dismantling” of the TSA, and Rep Ron Paul has introduced legislation that would result in TSA agents being arrested for felony crimes if they touched peoples’ junk.
The TSA, in other words, is fighting for its very survival right now. What it desperately needs is some new terrorist incident to remind the American people how much they need to give up their freedoms in exchange for security.
Now, I’m not saying the TSA is going to plot to blow up an airplane or anything, but if there’s anybody who has the access to sneak something past airport security, it’s the TSA.
Operation Northwoods was a similar plot. As Wikipedia relates:
The planned 1962 Operation Northwoods plot by the U.S. Department of Defense for a war with Cuba involved scenarios such as hijacking or shooting down passenger and military planes, sinking a U.S. ship in the vicinity of Cuba, burning crops, sinking a boat filled with Cuban refugees, attacks by alleged Cuban infiltrators inside the United States, and harassment of U.S. aircraft and shipping and the destruction of aerial drones by aircraft disguised as Cuban MiGs. These actions would be blamed on Cuba, and would be a pretext for an invasion of Cuba and the overthrow of Fidel Castro’s communist government. It was authored by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, nixed by John F. Kennedy, came to light through the Freedom of Information Act and was publicized by James Bamford. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_…)
On the conspiracy theory front, there have long been accusations that the 9/11 attacks were an “inside job” staged as a pretext to clamp down on Americans’ freedoms and roll out the Patriot Act — the very law that coincidentally gives TSA agents the right to have anybody arrested and detained for 48 hours without cause, without a warrant and without legal representation. The evidence surrounding the collapse of the WTC 7 building now has literally thousands of engineers, scientists and citizens realizing the building was obviously brought down by demolition explosions (http://buildingwhat.org) and not an “office fire” as was the official explanation.
The point of all this is that when governments are cornered but don’t want to give in, they will sometimes resort to falsifying events in order to continue moving their agendas forward. As David Icke explains, it’s the old “problem-reaction-solution” approach. First, create the problem, then wait for the public reaction that allows you to enact the government solution.
The formula works like a charm for everything from pushing flu vaccines to justifying a war.
In fact, there is evidence that U.S. agents may already be working on this plan. The fake bomb recently found on board a German passenger jet, we now know, was manufactured by a U.S. company (http://www.prisonplanet.com/fake-bo…).
How government agencies keep themselves alive (and get more funding)
Is the TSA at that point of desperation yet? I’m not sure, but it would certainly be easy for high-level TSA operatives to find some patsy who hates the government, convince him that he should carry some liquid explosives onto an airplane, and then “catch” him at a TSA security checkpoint, thereby proving that we need to keep giving up our freedoms in the name of security.
The mainstream media would have a field day with that story, and for the next two weeks on the news, we’d all hear how important the TSA is and what a great job they’re doing, and how this “terrorist” was caught by the naked body scanner machine, and so on.
Don’t be surprised to see such a scenario unfold. It’s not that I personally distrust the TSA in particular, because there are some good people who work there and who are not to blame for all this, but at the same time I’ve been around long enough and studied enough true history to know that government organizations will do practically anything to stay in power.
The DEA, for example, is desperately fighting against marijuana legalization not because marijuana is some highly dangerous drug (it isn’t), but because it’s job security for DEA agents.
The CDC, likewise, went completely out of its way last year to spread fear about the H1N1 Swine Flu for the same reasons: Job security. There’s nothing quite like declaring a stage-six pandemic to keep the Congressional funding flowing your way, huh? The CDC also has a fascinating history of completely distorting the AIDS epidemic in order to boost its own funding, by the way. Watch this eye-opening video from House of Numbers to learn more: http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=4FE73…
Every government agency — the TSA, CDC, FDA, USDA, FTC and so on — fights for its survival every year. That’s because in an era of budget cuts, every agency knows it could potentially be on the chopping block for severe cuts. And funding cuts translate into job losses. So the unspoken rule at all government agencies is to “make ourselves important” in order to keep the money flowing.
This is also why the food contamination scares have been hyped up beyond all reason over the last two years: The FDA wants new powers to control the food supply, and the best way to do that is to latch onto stories about e.coli and salmonella and blow those all out of proportion in order to pass reactionary legislation called Senate Bill 510 (http://www.naturalnews.com/030461_S…).
The truth about this food safety situation is that right now something like 80% of the chickens sold in grocery stores are contaminated with salmonella (http://www.naturalnews.com/021258.html), yet you don’t hear a peep about that story. And the FDA is making no effort whatsoever to “ban chicken meat” from grocery stores. Their fear mongering about food contamination is very selective, it seems.
Perhaps the TSA has been learning its lessons from the FDA. Simply stage a false flag attack and you, too, can have increased Congressional funding to “fight terror” or whatever.
We do need protections, but we need our rights even more
All this isn’t to say that America doesn’t have enemies who really do want to destroy us. It’s true that there are really bad people out there — people and groups who want to bring America down.
There are some good people in Washington who are fighting for our safety behind the scenes. Yes, the FBI, CIA and NSA all have “a few good men” who are doing things around the world that you and I don’t even want to know about. Stuff that would make you cringe if you knew about it.
The sacrifices being made by some of these individuals in the name of protecting America’s interests on the international stage will never be fully known, nor recognized by anyone in the mainstream. The everyday American people who go about their lives shopping, watching TV, collecting a paycheck and surfing the ‘web have no idea what goes on behind the scenes to give them the luxury of pursuing such a carefree lifestyle.
That’s why nothing I print here is intended to disrespect the front-line warriors who are fighting for America’s interests — soldiers, the few “good” feds, etc. But at the same time that there are some “good men” (and women) in these agencies, there are also some rotten apples (like in any organization, I suppose). There are some people working in the government who absolutely would not hesitate to stage a false flag attack if it meant increasing their power, their pay and their importance.
And those people must be scratching their heads right now, thinking, “Gee, it sure would be easy to pull off a staged event of some kind that keeps us all in power.”
I just hope they come to their senses and realize they should not be at war with the American people. They’re supposed to be fighting to protect our freedoms, not to take away our freedoms. The real war is with the true enemies of America — those state-sponsored terrorist groups that genuinely want to destroy America and everything it stands for.
Certainly, we must not let the terrorists win. But neither must we allow freedom to perish in the process.
Reasonable security is fine
As a freedom-loving American who values both my freedom and my safety, I will gladly submit to having my luggage X-rayed and walking through a metal detector. I will gladly sit beside an armed Air Marshal on the flight, captained by an armed pilot on the flight deck who hopefully has a couple of spare mags along with his Colt 1911, too (pilots carry firearms on airplanes right now, most people don’t even know..).
Yet as much as those security precautions seem reasonable, I refuse to subject myself to a body X-ray that emits ionizing radiation, and I refuse to give in to an obscene pat-down that involves government personnel feeling up my genitals, with or without a latex glove.
At that point, “security” has become tyranny. And the terrorists have already won.
We need to rise up and stop this. Just as some of our undercover federal agents (and active soldiers) are fighting for America’s interests overseas, you and I need to be fighting for our freedom right here at home, on American soil, with this airport security issue.
We are not subjects. We are not cattle. We are sovereign citizens and we will not surrender our bodies to be fondled by government agents with the excuse that “it’s for our own good.”
And be on the watch for a “staged” security event designed to convince the American people that they need to give up yet more freedoms in the name of police-state security. I’m willing to bet that precisely such a plot is on the drawing board in Washington D.C. right now. | http://www.setyoufreenews.com/2010/11/21/tsa-now-needs-false-flag-security-incident-to-convince-americans-to-accept-obscene-pat-downs/ |

A2 actually is not really a "sidekick" anymore you are right. I just like to refer to as such because 1) traditionally it has always been "sidekick" and 2) the free one is more "sidekick" than "mainstream".
However Emisoft claims A2 can work well together with other software so… ya.
I just wanted to see how it ran without a AV running as well. Are there many others running it as a dedicated AV, for how long, and any problems? Also how long has A2 been "mainstream"?
I don't know how long I'll keep it like this. Is there any other testing been done on it?
Ozzie you sold me, I'm gonna stick with it.

New England Tech along with the Rhode Island Department of Education, the RI Science & Technology Advisory Council, and the Tech Collective join Congressman Jim Langevin (D-RI) in offering the Rhode Island Cyber Foundations Competition.
Known as Cyber Aces Online (ACES), the competition is designed to identify and nurture talented individuals who can become the future cyber policy professionals for United States companies and government agencies.
Because the nation is facing a shortage of cyber security professionals, the Cyber Aces Online competition was developed to offer individuals a fundamental knowledge of cyber security.
Deemed as one of the most effective Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) competitions in the nation, ACES is an entry-level competition focusing on a series of increasingly challenging contests sponsored by the Cyber Aces Foundation. This organization works to significantly reduce the shortage in the cyber workforce by identifying, recruiting and placing the next generation of cyber security professionals. The three areas of study will include networking, operating systems, and system administration.
“It is clear that sufficiently securing our networks, whether in government or the private sector, will require a well-trained cyber security workforce. As a result of efforts such as the Rhode Island Cyber Foundation Competitions, the RI Cyber Disruption Team, and the University of Rhode Island’s annual Cyber Security Symposia, we are building a statewide consortium that will work to expand the cyber security workforce in Rhode Island, while meeting the increasing need for a strong public-private relationship in cyber space,” said Congressman Langevin.
In past years, the competition was only open to high school students. However, this year, in addition to high schools students, all teachers, administrators, college students, veterans, job seekers, and those seeking a career change are invited. Participation in the competition is free!
All topics have a separate set of educational materials and a separate test. Each tutorial module ends with an online competition day quiz where participants’ skills will be tested in a series of questions. Competition day quizzes can be completed in 40 – 90 minutes. After all the three quizzes are completed, the final ranks will be determined by the participants’ cumulative scores.
Winners are then eligible to receive a range of prizes from awards and recognition by government and business leaders, to invitations to Cyber Aces Academies, internships, and scholarships.
Individuals interested in participating in this exciting competition should visit www.cyberaces.org to register or contact Erin Flynn, Manager of Admissions Outreach and Events at NEIT as well as the Rhode Island Cyber Aces Online State Coordinator, for more information. High schools, after school programs, Civil Air Patrol teams, computer clubs and other groups are welcome to register as well. The registration deadline is Friday, October 12, 2013. The competitions are scheduled as follows: October 15-16: Competition for Module 1; November 5-6: Competition for Module 2; December 18-19: Competition for Module 3; December 31: Access to content expires. As Langevin stated, “These education and training opportunities will direct young people into cyber security and other industries with high growth potential, and provide them with the tools to be competitive in the modern job market. As the cyber security workforce grows, it is also my hope that additional training programs will be developed for unemployed or underemployed individuals looking for new challenges. I believe that Rhode Island can and must be a leader in cyber security, and I hope that our efforts will grow into a national model for harnessing young talent.” “New England Tech is proud to once again work as an affiliate partner of the Cyber Aces Competition,” stated Flynn. “The mission of the program is to build a future workforce with the cyber security skills required to meet the high demand in both the private and public sectors. We are pleased to be affiliated with this most important program.” | http://www.neit.edu/blog/index.php/tag/cybersecurity/ |
Postal transactional document distribution is possibly the least secure method. Sending a document by post means it can be opened and viewed at any point in its journey to your post box. A document of interest to the person who has opened it can also easily be intercepted and misused.
Confusion could also arise with postal transactional document distribution if your item is mislaid by the postal service. You could be charged expensive late payment fees, with no proof that you did not receive your invoice. You may also incur late fees if you are away from home when your invoice is delivered.
E-mail is the most secure method of transactional document distribution. This method works using a web invoicing system which either sends the transactional document as the content of an e-mail, or will send a link to the transactional document in the e-mail. To use this link a customer must correctly respond to security questions.
This web invoicing system offers the safest transactional document distribution as invoices are unlikely to be intercepted. Even if a customer’s email address is hacked, they will be unable to answer the security questions and access sensitive data. Customers also prefer transactional document distribution using web invoicing because they can view and pay an invoice at any time of day using the internet.
The web invoicing system used to carry out transactional document distribution is likely to be more secure if the task is outsourced to another company such as Netsend. As specialists in transactional document distribution, Netsend will be able to offer you a tried, tested and perfected system with maximum available security. | http://netsend.com/blog/data-security/security-of-transactional-document-distribution-methods/ |

More than 34 million new malware samples have been discovered to date in 2022, with both Windows and Android remaining the most at-risk platforms compared to Apple systems like the Mac.
Malware authors have been creating more than 316,000 new malware threats daily in 2022, according to data from Atlas VPN. The team's information is based on analysis of data from AV-Test GmbH, an independent antivirus and security vendor.
January saw the largest jump in new malware developments, with 11.41 million new malware samples registered in the first month of 2022. February saw 8.93 million malware samples, while March saw 8.77 million.
By the end of the first quarter of 2022, newly discovered malware threats reached 29.11 million.
The data was last updated on April 20, 2022. By that count, at least 5.65 million new malware samples were discovered so far in the month of April.
As far as the breakdown between platforms, Windows has seen 25.48 million new malware samples in 2022. At least 536,000 never-before-seen Android malware samples have also been discovered.
Apple platforms appear less affected, with macOS seeing 2,000 new malware samples in 2022.
Despite the relative rarity of macOS malware, Apple still finds the number of threats on the platform "unacceptable" compared to iOS. Vulnerabilities and exploits are not unheard of on iOS, but are rarer still than on macOS.
The prevalence of malware on competing platforms like Android and Windows has been a core argument from Apple against opening up its platforms. Apple has repeatedly argued that antitrust legislation in the U.S. and European Union could do real harm to user privacy and security.
And I don’t think the old troll meme “security through obscurity” holds water anymore either. With macOS and iOS users having significantly more disposable income it would be logical for the bad guys to go after those users with great focus. But they don’t... or can’t.
Also, Windows is more 'obscure' than Android, yet it would seem that Windows has far more malware (unless I'm misinterpreting the numbers).
Ugh. What a load of clickbait BS. How many attack vectors are coming into any given platform doesn't matter nearly as much as how effective those vectors are, and the most successful ones are hitting every platform all at once.
I do information security for a living, and I will tell you one very important thing: all it takes is one successful vector, and you are hosed. It doesn't matter how much more the other guys are getting attacked than you are, you still need to act as if you are constantly being attacked - because you really are. That means:
Get everything that talks to the Internet (hardware and software) up to date as quickly as you can as updates are released. That includes your router!
Replace that router that you "got a great deal on" back on Black Friday in 201x with a modern one that is well reviewed by a site that primarily/only reviews network stuff. If you are unsure, just get something from Asus that has at least 3.5 stars on Newegg.
Limit exposure from the outside as much as possible and turn off uPnP on your router.
Practice network isolation: keep equipment that doesn't need to be on the same network as your personal date on its own subnet, especially IoT stuff like lighting hubs and smart home gear that doesn't get updated often.
If something you have connected to the Internet hasn't gotten an update in a year, consider replacing it entirely (once again, that includes your router!), and don't buy no-name stuff from Amazon, Wish, AliExpress, etc., and put it on your network with the your PCs. Getting "Linarsefft" smart bulbs because they are so cheap is a BAD idea - they will never get updated and will almost certainly have some sort of security flaw in them eventually.
Stop going to that site you know you shouldn't be going to. You know which one I am talking about - it's the one that you immediately thought of when you read that. Stop going to the rest of the ones you know are risky as well. Or, at the very least, build a VM, put it on its own network, and use that to go there instead.
As a reader, you should be finding articles like this offensive to you. They play to your ego to make you feel superior so they can make a bit of money from your clicks, but they are actually giving you a false sense of security. You ARE being attacked constantly and relentlessly - your network is getting pinged hundreds of times a day from countries far and wide (and by that I mean mostly Russia), looking for their way in. Don't listen to anyone who tells you aren't, and act accordingly to minimize the risk of them actually getting in.

DigitalExecute is an unwanted malware program that displays online advertising on your computer. Clicking on one of the many DigitalExecute banner or text-link ads and you’ll be redirected to the websites and products the ad is marketing. However, in many cases the ad will show you adverts for one thing and you’ll be sent to a website that’s promoting something entirely different – possibly even drive-by-malware.
The other thing that this adware does is to collect data about your browsing habits. The program installs a component on your computer which tracks the websites you visit and records which products or pages you are looking at as well as your geographic location. This enables the adware publisher to show you “Ads by DigitalExecute” that more closely, or even exactly, match the items you are showing an interest in based on your surfing behavior. It is because of these characteristics, and the fact that this adware installs itself surreptitiously on your computer that this adware is dangerous. On the plus side, if you’ve been infected by adware, you’ll know about it because it’s pretty obvious that the adverts you’re seeing are tailored towards your recent searches and in some cases are completely out of place and also may signify that they are part of the adware infection. And if you’re being bombarded with DigitalExecute pop-up ads, then there is really no mistaking the fact you have malware on your computer.
The problem is that because the adware is constantly monitoring your web usage and relaying data back to the ad network and distributor it is using up valuable system resources and your Internet connection. Because it uses your own internet connection to send the data, it may also slow your Internet speeds down or cause your web browser to continually crash. It can also disrupt other programs running on your computer and cause conflicts with them. Also to note, it may be relaying other dangerous malware traffic such as botnet data.
For the most part there are two ways that DigitalExecute installs itself. The most common of these is by bundling, meaning that the adware is packaged with another program, mostly freeware. You download and install program only to find that you’ve also downloaded and installed adware. The slightly less common method is by drive by installation – when you’ve visited a website which has been compromised by DigitalExecute adware. The adware takes advantage of any exploits in your browser to install the adware.
DigitalExecute is a problem and you’d be quite right in thinking that you should protect yourself from this form of malware. Firstly, download an anti-malware program, and second be careful when you’re downloading programs and make sure you read the small print so you know exactly what you’re installing and never accept to install other software. To remove this adware and stop Ads by DigitalExecute, please follow the steps in the removal guide below.

A smart antivirus software knows the severity of the threats and fix them by auto detecting it.
There are numerous software available in the market but one wrong decision can truly take you and your money in distress. Here are some important tips while selecting your antivirus that can save you from a pitfall. | https://www.guest-articles.com/technology/how-to-select-the-best-antivirus-protection-for-your-mobile-or-windows-system-13-07-2020 |
The International Labour Organization estimates there are 340 million occupational accidents and 160 million victims of work-related illnesses every year, globally.
Major workplace accidents and incidents are critical safety issues inherent to business operations. Even one small incident could lead to more serious risk pathways developing.
That is why the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires HAZOP analysis to identify, reduce and manage workplace risk.
HAZOP is a systematic assessment tool used to identify and address potential hazards – mainly in industrial processes – before a dangerous incident occurs.
In this FAT FINGER article you’ll learn how to conduct HAZOP analysis using five simple steps. This article is structured as follows:
HAZOP is a risk assessment technique commonly referred to as a HaZard OPerability study. It’s a systematic way of identifying hazards in a business process for improved risk management.
“A hazard and operability (HAZOP) study is a systematic brainstorming process of assessing the existence of hazards in equipment and vulnerability of its operation. It is a risk assessment tool that provides information to the management who can make decisions to improve safety and conduct safe operations”
HAZOP originated from the Heavy Organic Chemicals Division of Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI) – a then major British and international chemical company.
In 1963, ICI set out to design a new phenol plant. Potential hazards and operating problems were identified using the then-named critical examination technique, and the idea of HAZOP was born.
However, the methodology wasn’t a widely adopted risk assessment procedure until 1974 after what was named the Flixborough disaster.
Flixborough is a small town in the UK. An industrial center, home to the chemical plant Nypro Works and was best known for its production of nylon…
A day before the explosion, operators discovered a six-foot crack in one of the reactors. To keep the plant operational, the cracked reactor was removed, and a quick-fix alternative replacement bypass pipe was put in place. Yet, there was no discussion over the potential hazards of this pipe.
The bypass pipe allowed large amounts of cyclohexane to escape. This coupled with high pressures and temperatures caused the plant to explode.
A broad multidisciplinary review of abnormal operations would have flagged these risks beforehand. If only Nypro Works conducted a thorough risk assessment using HAZOP, the disaster could have been avoided.
The disaster did, however, initiate a drive to promote and improve risk assessment in the chemical industry. One of the leaders pushing this focus on safety was Trevor Asher Kletz.
Kletz became interested in process safety after experiencing firsthand how a process plant works and the hazards present. Kletz got a job at ICI’s research lab.
“When I joined I expected to be spending my life pouring liquids from one test tube into another – but I actually never touched a test tube in the whole time I was there!” he says. “ICI’s research department was far more concerned with solving engineering problems.” – Trevor Asher Kletz, Trevor Kletz, the father of inherent safety, explains his remarkable career
It wasn’t until after the Flixborough disaster that HAZOP became one of the most widely used risk management techniques in the chemical industry. And it was Kletz who recognized the benefits the approach could deliver, bringing the methodology to the forefront. Kletz became an advocate for HAZOP, using books, papers, and conferences to promote the risk assessment tool.
Over time, the importance of risk management and the concept of HAZOP spread through the chemical industry. In modern times, HAZOP is used across multiple industries, from food, water, and pharmaceutical industries, to industrial health and safety applications.
HAZOP has revolutionized how industries approach risk assessment, coming as a means of risk control to prevent disasters such as the Flixborough explosion.
The below list details the advantages that come from the implementation of HAZOP. This list has been drawn from the scrutiny and consultation of sources like the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
HAZOP explicitly identifies hazards, potential failures, and potential causes of failure, and gives the recommended actions to address these. The analysis is documented and communicated to all relevant parties.
The HAZOP methodology is extremely useful when confronting hazards that are difficult to quantify. This is because the methodology does not require engineers to explicitly rate or measure the deviation probability of a hazard occurring, the severity of impact, or the ability to detect.
HAZOP takes a multidisciplinary team approach, obtaining viewpoints from a range of disciplines to give a balanced analysis.
HAZOP is a simple and intuitive means of performing a risk assessment. The approach does not demand considerable technical expertise or technical formulation, and as an approach, is easy to understand.
HAZOP is a proactive risk management strategy, built for detecting problems early to remove the potential of a disaster.
The main objective of HAZOP is to identify potential risks early. This means breaking a system down into sections, and then questioning, dissecting, and discussing each section to consider every possible scenario and every potential deviation from the norm.
To conduct HAZOP analysis, teams need to be familiar with HAZOP guidewords. The guidewords prompt teams to question all elements of the assessed system.
For instance, typical guidewords for a chemical plant include: Flow, pressure, temperature, level, and reaction.
For every guideword, the causes and consequences of possible deviations are noted. Questions are posed by the HAZOP team using each guideword, for example:
Hazard: Is a potential source of harm. Deviations from operational or design intent may constitute or produce a hazard. A single hazard could lead to multiple forms of harm.
Harm: Physical injury, damage to health, the property, or the environment. Harm is a consequence of a hazard and can take many forms.
Risk: A combination of the probability of harm and the severity.
For teams new to the HAZOP methodology, it may initially seem overwhelming. However, the approach can be broken down into five simple steps as detailed below.
Step #1: Document your operations
It’s easy to conduct a HAZOP assessment if your operations are documented.
With FAT FINGER, you can document operations as checklists, procedures, and workflows in seconds. FAT FINGER offers a no-code solution to digitize steps of an operation, giving the full system transparency you need to effectively execute HAZOP.
For more information about FAT FINGER, watch the video below.
Step #2: Form and assess your HAZOP team
Assemble your HAZOP team. You’ll need a team of workers with a wide range of expertise, skills, and experience. Remember, a key aspect of the HAZOP approach is that it’s multidisciplinary.
You’ll also want to make sure your team has the required experience and knowledge. Once more, team members must understand their role and how it fits into the HAZOP process.
Communicate to your team the importance of considering reasonable variations at each point of the system.
Identify and locate supporting data and information.
Identify the audience and users of the study outputs.
Make preparations, e.g. schedule meetings, transcribe proceedings.
Identify each element of your system to be assessed. It’s a good idea to do this using open discussions among your team. For each system element (e.g. humans, processes, materials), identify the relevant guidewords and note their deviation questions. Document key assumptions you’re making during this process.
To help you create your HAZOP examination plan, follow the below-stepped process:
Explain the overall system design.
Select the part of the system to be examined.
Examine and agree on the system design intent.
Identify relevant guidewords to be examined.
Just as you can use FAT FINGER to document your operations in the system to be assessed, you can also use FAT FINGER’s intuitive process documentation system to write HAZOP as a process as per the five steps detailed above.
You can then use your HAZOP process alongside other risk management techniques for ultimate risk control. You see, although HAZOP provides a powerful means of risk assessment, it only identifies hazards. You also need to adopt a quantified risk assessment process to use in tandem.
With an effective process, risk analysis in the workplace becomes both effective and efficient. By considering changes to normal operations, using a multidisciplinary team, you can avoid disaster.
Poor operational awareness contributed to the Flixborough explosion, but also many others such as Chernobyl, the BP oil spill, and Texas City Refinery.
HAZOP gives your a solid foundation to build appropriate safety precautions into your business system. Avoid a disaster and implement HAZOP. | https://fatfinger.io/hazop-your-ultimate-guide-for-conducting-an-effective-risk-assessment/ |

AntVR’s ‘Mix’ AR headset Kickstarter,…
However, the negative scenarios in the Cyber world do not leave the iPhones apart. Cyber crimes are as usual for iPhone users as they are for the Android users. The difference being the greater impact a security breach has on an iPhone. Many iPhone users report cyber crime after falling prey to cyber crimes they could have easily avoided. To counter the cyber crimes and keep your iPhone secure, it is thus necessary to be aware of the basic security measures that protect your device. Thus, we have come up with these basic tips that will help you keep your iPhone secure against all the cyber threats spread across the digital world.
1. Do not connect your iPhone to Public Computers.
iPhones are much more vulnerable to malwares than other smartphones. They easily get infected by malwares like WireLurker that spread through infected computers. These malwares steal files from the infected devices. Public computers are not much trustworthy and may be infected with any such malware. On connecting with them, iPhones are likely to get infected instantly. So, to keep your iPhone malware protected, make sure the computer you connect your device to is completely trustworthy.
2. Install all iOS updates regularly.
Many iPhone users believe the iOS they use is completely flawless and can’t be broken through. Back in November 2015, Zerodium had announced that iOS 9 was successfully hacked by a group of researchers. They received a $1 billion bounty to keep the breach under the carpet. However, that shattered the myth of iOS being completely secure. Thus, to keep your iPhone secure, it is necessary to keep updating. Updates make the hackers keep guessing and ensure that your device remains secure. By the time hackers are able to find a way through, another update comes up and makes their efforts worthless.
3. Do not open mails from unknown senders.
Though Apple has updated its mail system making it more reluctant to malicious mails, it is not entirely capable of identifying all of them. Phishing is the latest trend in hacking world and caution is the only way of tacking it. Malicious mails are the most prominent methods of phishing. Links in these mails install malwares on your device that hack your device completely. To stay protected from all the cyber crime threads spread across the internet, do not open any malicious mails from any unknown sender. Even if the sender looks genuine but unknown, do not open the mail.
4. Use unique and Strong Passwords/Passcodes for all your accounts.
The more unique your password, the more difficult it is to hack it. The strength of your passwords and passcodes directly reflect the strength of your entire security system. If possible, use different passwords for different accounts and use a password manager to keep a note of all those passwords. Strong Passwords are the best way to prevent a physical theft or security breach. Though inconvenient, this method helps you keep your device secure to a great extent.
6. Research about an App before installing it.
Most of the iPhone users believe that apps available on Apple store are 100% secure. That myth was left shattered when Palo Alto Networks revealed that 39 apps in App store were infected by XcodeGhost, a malware that helps hackers perform phishing through its remote control functionalities. That formulated a new theory that third-party apps can install malwares on your iPhone and thus a little research before installing any app is necessary if you want to stay malware protected.
It won’t be wrong to call iPhones the smartest amongst the smartphones currently available and thus it is pretty difficult to keep them the way they are supposed to be kept. It is difficult for people though to enjoy all of iPhone’s smart features without bothering about its security.
Indian Cyber Army tries its best to make everyone aware of all the cyber crime activities spread on the internet and make their stay in the digital world a pleasant one. Security is a key aspect for every iPhone user and thus keeping it intact becomes a major priority.

SSHPsychos SSH Traffic (103.41.124.0/23 - Red & Pink, 43.255.190.0/23 - Orange, All Other SSH Traffic - Green)
Based on this sudden shift, immediate action was taken. Talos and Level 3 decided to remove the routing capabilities for 103.41.124.0/23, but also add the new netblock 43.255.190.0/23. The removal of these two netblocks introduced another hurdle for SSHPsychos, and hopefully slows their activity, if only for a short period.
An operation of this size would only be possible with the collaboration of Level 3 and Cisco to make the Internet safer. In the future, we only see this type of operation being undertaken when we can prevent systems from being compromised without any impact to legitimate Internet activity.
Gone are the days when detectors and protectors can sit on the Internet’s sidelines when a group is brazenly attacking a wide range of systems around the world. This specific threat was known to the security community, but Cisco and Level 3 Communications agreed that it was time to step in and make it stop. Together we severely limited SSHPsychos ability to communicate within Level 3 Communications backbone, and hindered their ability to compromise systems and proliferate their malware.
While these changes protect the portions of the Internet overseen by Level 3, we believe there is still more to be done. We ask that others join us to stop malicious traffic from spreading on the internet. We encourage ISPs and network administrators to join our efforts to curb this specific group, by removing the routes for these networks in a controlled and responsible manner. If we work together, we have the opportunity to eliminate a group that is making no effort to hide their malicious activity.
If you support the idea of taking action against this group and others that openly attack the Internet, add your voice by tweeting #DownWithSSHPsychos.
The logs ended up nearly filling the disk, all is futile since it is a ssh key only login server.
I ended up just changing the ssh port.
It's all a game of "Whack-A-Mole". I'm seeing the exact same attack patterns that came from the addresses above coming from other IP addresses as well, in one case with an attack pattern of 15,782 entries coming from two 59.X.X.X addresses.
Just a quick scan of my logs show identical attacks as from the IP addresses above coming from 219.X, 182.X, 221.X, 113.X, 218.X, and the big attack from 59.X ranging from February to April 10. | https://blog.talosintelligence.com/2015/04/threat-spotlight-sshpsychos.html |
Slowly becoming aware of emerging cyber threats, organizations worldwide will spend $96.3 billion on security in 2018, an increase of 8 per cent from 2017. It is also predicted that by 2019, total enterprise spending on security outsourcing services will be 75 per cent of the spending on security software and hardware products, up from 63 per cent in 2016 (Source: Gartner).
With the dawn of digitization and growing exposure to the risk of cyber-attacks, Government is now directing their focus more on cybersecurity, releasing cybersecurity frameworks and mandating country-specific regulatory policies emphasizing on the need to have efficient monitoring and detection in place.
In view of cyber resilience as the key theme, UBM India, is hosting “The Cyber Security Dialogue”, scheduled to be held on 27-28 September 2018 in Mumbai. The 2-day Dialogue with reformative panel discussions, aims to create a platform for all the stakeholders to discuss the current trends and future threats, which are affecting the organizations & business effectiveness. It will engage the most promising and emerging national & global firms, from CNI’s and other sectors including: Energy & Utilities, Defense & Aviation, BFSI, Hospitality, Healthcare, Manufacturing Institutions, Telecom. | https://infosec-conferences.com/events-in-2018/india-cyber-security-dialogue/ |

Knowing that many organisations pass encrypted traffic into their networks without full inspection, the bad guys use encryption to hide malware and launch attacks, effectively hijacking your network.
This vendor-written piece has been edited by Executive Networks Media to eliminate product promotion, but readers should note it will likely favour the submitter's approach.
Many IP addresses used in cyberattacks are reused and known in the security community. Dedicated organizations track and verify known cyber threats on a daily basis, maintaining this information in an intelligence database. By comparing incoming and outgoing packets against this database, you can identify malicious traffic and block it from your network. Because the comparison is made with packet headers in plain text format, this strategy eliminates the need to decrypt the packets. Eliminating traffic associated with known attackers reduces the number of packets to decrypt. And, eliminating traffic that would otherwise generate a security alert helps security teams improve productivity.
The fastest way to deploy this strategy is to install a special-purpose hardware appliance called a threat intelligence gateway in front of a firewall. This appliance is designed for fast, high-volume blocking, including untrusted countries, and is updated continuously by an integrated threat intelligence feed. Once the gateway is installed, no further manual intervention is required, and no filters need to be created or maintained. Malicious traffic can be either dropped immediately or sent to a sandbox for further analysis. Depending on your industry and how often you are targeted, you could see up to an 80 percent reduction in security alerts.
Alternatively, you can configure custom filters on your firewall to block specified IP addresses. Unfortunately, firewall filters must be manually configured and maintained, and there is a limit to how many filters can be created. The explosion of connected devices and compromised IP addresses outstrips the capabilities of firewalls. Plus, using the processing cycles on an advanced device like a firewall to make simple comparisons is not a cost-efficient way to block traffic. | https://www.computerworld.com.my/blogs/blogs/four-strategies-to-prevent-data-encryption-from-hijacking-your-network/ |

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 (Reuters) – US President Joe Biden plans to announce a plan to share advanced technologies in a working group with the UK and Australia on Wednesday, Politico reported, in order to push back China.
Biden was due to deliver a national security address at 5 p.m. (2100 GMT), but the White House refused to provide details.
The working group, named AUUKUS, will enable the three countries to share information in areas such as artificial intelligence, cyber, underwater systems and long-range attack capabilities, Politico reported, citing a White House official and a congressional official.
As part of the pact, the US and UK are sharing their knowledge of maintaining nuclear defense infrastructure, one of the unidentified sources said. | https://vmvirtualmachine.com/biden-cancels-tech-cyber-defense-alliance-with-uk-and-australia/ |

A new decade-old malware that Symantec is calling ‘groundbreaking and almost peerless’ has emerged. It’s customisable, and they reckon the main purpose of the malware is intelligence gathering. What’s even more interesting is that experts reckon it’s been born out of the labs of a Western intelligence agency; which could potentially implicate the notorious NSA or even our own GCHQ.
Regin is a massively sophisticated piece of malware which – as of yet – has no current victims from the Five Eyes countries (a treaty for joint cooperation in signals intelligence between UK, US, Aus, NZ, Canada). The top two countries targeted were Russia and Saudi Arabia and whilst we still don’t know for definite where it came from, some experts are saying it may have been from Western governments for surveillance purposes. The reasoning behind this it’s thought that there are only a few countries capable of creating something as complex as Regin; and as security experts F-Secure, who first found Regin on a Windows server inside a customer’s IT infrastructure, don’t seem to think it’s China or Russia, that would pretty much leave the US, UK or Israel as likely candidates.
It looks like it’s not designed for nabbing mass data as much as keeping an eye on a small number of targets. Apparently there have only been around 100 victims found since it emerged in 2008, including government bodies and small businesses, academics and individuals. It’s made up of a whole mixed bag of badness, including some Remote Access Trojans (RAT) capturing screenshots and taking control of the mouse’s point-and-click functions; it also steals passwords, monitors web activity and can get to deleted files, amongst other fun things.
Microsoft haven’t commented yet and turns out security companies have been keeping schtum too, even though several – including Symantec (who have now released a whitepaper on it) and Russian firm Kaspersky – have known about it for a while. Symantec suggested they didn’t feel comfortable publishing details about it ‘til now, and Kaspersky seemed to have only published a report after they thought a competitor was going to beat them to it. Fox IT said that they didn’t want to interfere with NSA/GCHQ business, which is an interesting response given the recent privacy debate surrounding them.
As it’s highly targeted malware it’s not something that most people will need to worry about, according to experts, but security firms will be adding it to their watch list to try and start getting rid. And – as always – good security practice is encouraged!

Kelly Jackson Higgins August 30, 2012 Qatar’s RasGas -- one of the largest natural gas producers in the world -- is the latest Middle Eastern utility this month to suffer a major malware attack that took down some of its internal systems.
According to a Reuters report, RasGas detected "an unknown" virus on its office computers on Monday, and its website and email servers appeared to be offline as well. More Security Insights

More > The attack is eerily reminiscent of the one experienced this month by Saudi Aramco, which spread to 30,000 of the massive oil company's workstations -- the same number quoted by the attackers who took responsibility for the attack and gave a hat tip to Shamoon malware research in an online post. Neither Saudi Aramco nor security researchers who have studied the malware in the oil company attack would confirm the connection, but one source with knowledge of the attacks confirmed that the attack on Saudi Aramco was Shamoon.
Like Saudi Aramco, RasGas said its production systems were not hit in the attack. "Operational systems both onsite and offshore are secure and this does not affect production at the Ras Laffan Industrial City plant or scheduled cargoes," the company said in a statement reported by Reuters.
It's unclear whether the RasGas attacks came from Shamoon. Some security experts say Shamoon is part of a wider campaign of attacks than was first believed. Shamoon isn't your typical targeted attack: It's not all about spying or stealing information, but instead it's aimed at total annihilation of the data and machines.
Shamoon, a.k.a. W32.Disttrack, not only trashes files, but also overwrites the system's Master Boot Record (MBR) to disable the computer altogether. It's made up of three components: a dropper that also unleashes other modules; a wiper that performs the destruction element of the attack; and a reporter, which reports the progress of the attack back to the attacker. The wiper component deletes the existing driver and overwrites the signed one. Speculation has run high over who is behind the Shamoon attacks, everything from a traditional hacktivist group to the Iranian government. ICS-CERT yesterday issued Website and alert on Shamoon. "Because of the highly destructive functionality of the Shamoon “Wiper” module, an organization infected with the malware could experience operational impacts including loss of intellectual property (IP) and disruption of critical systems. Actual impact to organizations vary, depending on the type and number of systems impacted," the alert says.

Zero-Day Exploits and APTs: Security Requirements vs. Operational Challenges
Enterprises are losing the battle against advanced, information-stealing malware attacks. We continuously discover new application vulnerabilities which are quickly exploited by cybercriminals. Traditional blacklisting solutions don't work, and more advanced whitelisting-solutions are unmanageable. How do you overcome the manageability and operational challenges of advanced malware protection?
In this webinar, guest speaker Rick Holland, senior analyst serving Security & Risk Professionals at Forrester Research, Inc., will discuss the security and operational challenges associated with advanced malware protection. Rick will review the technical and operational requirements organizations should consider when looking to prevent and mitigate advanced malware. Dana Tamir, Director of Product Management at Trusteer, will then introduce Trusteer Apex which applies a new groundbreaking approach for stopping zero-day exploits and data exfiltration. | http://www.darkreading.com/attacks-breaches/second-middle-eastern-utility-hit-by-mal/240006564 |
The media coverage of the WannaCry ransomware worm has reinvigorated interest in learning more about cybersecurity companies. Individuals may be interested in investing in such companies. Enterprises may be interested in the services that cybersecurity companies offer. Small businesses may be overwhelmed with the choices of companies offering these services. As a technology attorney who works with cybersecurity companies of varying sizes and capabilities, I have noted a few considerations for anyone researching a cybersecurity company.
Today on the JP, Kathy and The Crew radio show that is broadcast on 620 AM KEXB, I discussed three factors for determining the long-term viability of a cybersecurity company. Threat actors can be anyone from an opportunistic hacker, to organized criminal gangs, to state sponsored actors all with the capability to cause serious technical damage and financial harm.
Behavior analytics is about profiling users, discovering patters, and detecting activities that mirror threat activities. Employing big data and AI as the foundation of behavior analytics can be a powerful combination. Cybersecurity companies that are committed to incorporating these concepts into their solutions appear to have the most viability for defending enterprises against sophisticated threat actors
Small businesses should not be discouraged by the complexity of the services offered to the extent that they avoid implementing solutions. There are managed service providers that offer cybersecurity services as part of their services, and some MSPs are solely dedicated to cybersecurity. MSPs are often small businesses that understand the needs and budgets of non-technical small business operations that need their cybersecurity services. MSPs can also offer a local contact and personal touch for customizing a solution to protect what is most important to the business. Additionally, some MSPs offer as a third-party reseller solutions that incorporate the enterprise-level concepts above.
Businesses considering utilizing the services of a cybersecurity company should consider consulting a cybersecurity lawyer with education and experience in the cybersecurity space to assist with executing agreements between the businesses and mitigating risks in adopting such solutions. | https://www.kirkpatricklawpc.com/blog/considering-cybersecurity-companies/ |

The Commission on Enhancing National Cybersecurity established by President Obama recently released a 90-page Report on Securing and Growing the Digital Economy, a report whose explicit purpose was to make recommendations that would strengthen cybersecurity in both the public and private sectors. The report makes specific and excellent recommendations to address urgent cybersecurity challenges, including the obsolescence of the “classic concept of the security perimeter” brought about by mobile devices. Cybersecurity pros are urging the incoming Trump administration to heed the recommendations of the report.
“When it comes to cybersecurity, organizations cannot operate in isolation. It is impossible to stop all attacks. Resilience must be a core component of any cybersecurity strategy,” the commissioners said in their report. The report lays out actions that government, industry and consumers can take to better address cybersecurity threats, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in preventing and responding to cybersecurity events.
As the report indicates, “organizations and their employees require flexible and mobile working environments,” relying on BYOD and the cloud to enable mobile collaboration and communication. Despite this, mobile security is often an afterthought and an obvious gap in cybersecurity planning. “The classic concept of the security perimeter is largely obsolete,” so mobile security must be addressed. The report also goes into detail about steps that could be taken rapidly to improve the urgent threats posed by Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
President Obama issued a press release on the Report, outlining the various cybersecurity initiatives taken by his administration and how the Report builds upon that progress, as “there is much more to do” to “stay ahead of the cybersecurity curve” as a National security priority. The release states that the Obama Administration will “take additional action wherever possible” to take the recommended steps in the report and asks Congress to fully fund these urgent cybersecurity needs. It is unclear, at this time, whether the Trump team will accept the commission’s advice or who will be appointed to cybersecurity policy positions within the new Administration.
Whether the new Administration follows-through on the report or not, much can be gleaned by the private sector about how to improve cybersecurity standards through a risk-based approach that prioritizes resilience for responding to and recovering from cyber attacks.

First, protecting citizens: The legislation would require national data breach reporting. Currently 47 states have laws that require businesses that have suffered an intrusion to notify consumers if the intruder had access to the consumers’ personal information — this bill would set a national standard for the reporting. It also clarifies penalties for computer criminals by setting mandatory minimums for cyber-intrusions into critical infrastructure.
Second, protecting critical infrastructure: The proposal clarifies the type of assistance that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) can provide to state or local governments or private-sector companies following a cyber-intrusion. The legislation would also require the DHS “to work with industry to identify the core critical-infrastructure operators and to prioritize the most important cyber threats and vulnerabilities for those operators,” according to a fact sheet. Under the proposal, breaches against the most crucial critical infrastructure would be reported to the DHS to aid better situational awareness, said a DHS senior administration official during the call. The official added later that the framework would not apply “broadly to any critical infrastructure entity, but to the most critical of critical infrastructure.” Criteria will be identified in the legislation as to what constitutes the most critical of critical infrastructure, based on aspects like risk and consequences from attack. The DHS official also said the department’s secretary “would through a regulation process develop a set of additional criteria with strong input from the private sector to identify who actually fell within that regime.”
Third, protecting federal government computers and networks: Under the legislation, the DHS will be responsible for managing the Federal Information Security Management Act. The DHS will also be given more flexibility when hiring cyber-security personnel. In 2010, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano set the goal of hiring 1,000 employees with cyber-security skills. However, as of March 2011, only about 200 people had been hired and there were plans to hire 100 more this year, the Federal Times reported. The DHS official said this bill will “do a better job of competing with private sector for getting these key people.”
Also included in the proposed legislation — and important for state government to note — is the federal government’s promotion of cloud computing. A Department of Commerce senior administration official called cloud services “more efficient and secure.” And the legislation states, “This new industry should not be crippled by protectionist measures, so the proposal prevents states from requiring companies to build their data centers in that state, except where expressly authorized by federal law.”
The proposed bill will be sent to Capitol Hill, and numerous media outlets said the White House is hoping for action by Congress on it this year.
“The cyber-threat is real and growing and we really must address the cyber-vulnerabilities and -security concerns we have today,” said a senior administration official from the Defense Department. | http://www.govtech.com/e-government/White-Houses-Cyber-Security-Bill-Seeks-to-Provide-a-Framework-for-Industry-Government.html |

Viruses http://webroot-reviews.com/how-to-choose-best-antivirus-software/ are designed to damage, harvest, remove, steal and eavesdrop, and they’re programmed to hide and lurk : all in an effort to allow you to and your computer system or smart phone more vulnerable. With hackers doing work ’round the clock to create new, more stealthy viruses, is considered crucial to include a robust antivirus program which could detect them before they can infect your body and trigger serious destruction.
Antivirus software truly does much more than merely have a look at and check for known viruses and malware. It also pinpoints suspicious habits and actions, blocks unsolicited mail websites and advertisements, thwarts hacker scratches and eavesdropping spyware applications and helps you restore your stolen passwords.
One of many earliest approaches to identify malware was through signature recognition, which when compared a recently downloaded document against a database of known anti-virus definitions. It had been simple enough with regards to early anti virus programs to recognize if the new disease had a digital fingerprint that combined an existing malware in the software’s database of signatures, but they were constantly playing catch-up.
Now, contemporary antivirus programs use a more advanced method of curious about viruses – called heuristic detection or perhaps analysis – which can acknowledge a wide range of malware families simply by combining related ones into one generic unsecured personal. They can therefore watch what programs do and flag any kind of that are undertaking something they will shouldn’t, and also monitor Registry changes to identify potential spyware installations. This sort of behavior-based analysis is also employed by sandbox research, which operates a new data file or piece of software in a digital environment and later permits this to perform on your system if all the things checks out. | https://quadrant1komunika.co.id/how-exactly-does-antivirus-computer-software-identify-potential-viruses/ |
In general, ransomware remains one of the biggest threats towards enterprise and personal systems. It’s most commonly delivered via phishing scams and social engineering emails. If you read anything by us at Bytagig, then you’re familiar with its dangers.
Though no perfect solution exists for ransomware as of yet, methods for dealing with it are dramatically improving. Identifying ransomware gang behavior, understanding how ransomware infects systems, and creating a culture of proactive defense are just a few ways we’re hitting back on ransomware.
Here’s one big thing to always be thankful for: great security options at no cost. In the earliest days of the internet, anti-virus options were typically paid services. “Free” variants existed but mostly scams. If you don’t remember, scan websites would claim to “scan” your PC for spam, only to actually inject the malware and create a false flag alert for the user.
But today, you have an arsenal of free anti-virus options at your disposal. And while yes, many of these options have paid versions, they are not necessary for basic protection. Practicing good security means common virus threats are a thing of the past, whereas before, spam and malware plagued the web.
While you enjoy the end of the year, think on what you’re most thankful for. What aspects of tech, cybersecurity, and/or IT have you felt improved over the | https://www.bytagig.com/what-aspects-of-cybersecurity-can-we-be-thankful-for/ |
With the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) asking for information online about the world's most-wanted hackers and Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC) asking users to log intrusions in order to track down cybercriminals, we can see the beginnings of a Netizen-based "Cyber Corps."
With its new Norton Internet Security release, Symantec is asking customers to opt in to a program that will collect data about attempted computer intrusions and then forward the information to authorities. Symantec will also begin posting the FBI's top 10 hackers and their schemes on the part of its Website where customers go for software updates. Next year, the company will start paying cash bounties for information leading to an arrest, using a similar ploy attempted earlier this year when Microsoft Corp. (Nasdaq: MSFT) called for greater industry coordination and offered a $250,000 reward for a conviction of those responsible for the Conficker worm.
Anything that raises awareness about the worst of the known cybercriminals can only be a good thing. The open-source security community has used this sort of cooperation and communication for some time, and it's led to the takedowns of Atrivo, McColo, and Estdomains late last year, and more recently, of Real Host. Spamhaus has its own version of a most-wanted list and displays the top 10 worst spammers on its Website. It looks like the commercial security industry is at last embracing these successful open-source tactics.
Another interesting facet to be seen as a change of approach, commitment, and perception to countering cybercriminals can be found in a program advertised by the U.S. Department of Justice to recruit students for a federal cyber corps by offering scholarships in computer security intrusion issues and creating degree-level programs.
In just a few years the government could have its own band of well-trained cyber warriors ready to take on the might of organized cybercrime. The FBI is keen to display its efforts against "computer intrusion," and invites citizens to help catch suspects wanted in computer intrusion cases as an introduction to the agency's own most-wanted page.
Although this is an interesting and welcome development for the U.S., it should have a positive impact for the Internet as a whole. A few fundamental questions still remain such as what can be done on an international level via the United Nations, for example. Likewise as seen with the recent indictment of Albert Gonzalez in the Heartland Payment Systems hack, the other defendants are unlikely to be apprehended. As reported here, even after several years and an admission of guilt, the British hacker of NASA and other U.S. governmental systems, Gary McKinnon, still has not been extradited.
It's not the end of Internet security problems, but collectively, these initiatives demonstrate a sea change with regard to community involvement. Rather than something that's viewed as nice but not necessary, communities can be rightly viewed as an essential component to better security all across the Internet.
I know this is for focus groups but I found these tips useful for hosting meetings and presenting to larger…

One major problem that companies face today is the cyber skills shortage. It almost seems like the faster that companies hire new staff, the faster new security risks seem to pop up. That puts a real strain on cyber security operations. It’s no wonder, then, that IT security professionals around the world are feeling the pressure. According to the new Winning the Game report by McAfee, which surveyed more than 300 senior security managers and 650 security professionals from around the world, nearly half (46%) of cyber professionals say that they are struggling to keep up.
And it’s not for a lack of trying, either. On average, says McAfee, companies are increasing staff headcount by 24% to manage all their cyber threat detection needs. That’s an impressive figure, to be sure, but companies are willing to hire even more. The problem here is that it’s just too hard to attract and find new IT talent. Of the McAfee survey respondents, 84% say that it is difficult to attract IT talent. The massive cyber skills shortage means that a large number of companies are fighting over a relatively small pool of candidates.
And the data from McAfee certainly backs that up. 81% of those surveyed said that they would be more successful in their everyday jobs if they had greater automation. So, for companies struggling to find the right IT talent, the answer might be exploring cyber security automation solutions that won’t add to the overall headcount.
Cyber security automation, by encouraging more human-machine teaming, could be the key to making the most productive use of existing assets. Since hackers are using their versions of automated attacks, this means that IT security teams will be fighting fire with fire.
And there’s another element to cyber security automation: artificial intelligence and machine learning. It’s not just that new automated solutions are faster and more efficient – they are also smarter, thanks to breakthroughs in AI. This means that it becomes much easier for IT security teams to spot false positives and track down possible data breaches, all without the need for human intervention. This might make it easier to stop attacks before they even take place.
Gamification
Another alternative proposed by McAfee in the report is gamification. This basically requires companies to integrate game-like elements into normal cyber security routines, in order to make threat detection easier as well as to unlock the full potential of all the security analysts on the IT cyber security team. In the survey, 96% of respondents reported seeing benefits from integrating these gamification elements.
Examples of gamification include hackathons, capture-the-flag exercises, and red team-blue team competitions. These can be so powerful for many different reasons. For example, hackathons can uncover innovative ways of accomplishing certain cyber security tasks. And capture-the-flag exercises can help IT security team members think in new ways and master new security skills. If they are able to out-smart and out-wit the enemy, then they will be more productive and efficient in their daily work, especially when it comes to incident response. | https://www.cpomagazine.com/2018/04/05/cyber-security-automation-one-key-factor-winning-the-battle-against-hackers/ |

Tries to outfox anti-virus emulators.
Instances of polymorphic malware has significantly increased this month according to Symantec.
The vendor said that in July 23.7 per cent of all malicious email-borne malware was characterised as aggressive strains of generic polymorphic malware.
In September this rocketed to 72 per cent as cyber criminals adopted a variety of more sophisticated techniques, such as sending emails purporting to be from a smart printer/scanner and forwarded by a colleague.
“The most recent attacks in the report are email-based, in the form of attachments disguised with some interesting social engineering," said Paul Wood, senior intelligence analyst at Symantec.cloud.
“The anti-virus industry's response to (server side) polymorphic malware has been the use of behavioural analysis in a virtual sandbox. This allows the code to be run in a tightly controlled environment where the anti-virus software can perform some analysis of its functionality.
“However, the new malware includes ways that attempt to defeat these emulators, including changing the start-up code in every version, subtly changing the structure to make it harder for emulators to identify it as malicious.”
Wood said anti-virus technology cannot rely solely on heuristics and signatures to defend against attacks, and must take into account the integrity of the executable based on knowledge of its reputation and distribution in the wild.

Smart homes and connected devices can be found more often by the day. Those devices can add comfort and maybe a little bit of security to people’s everyday lives. But what if the humans using those devices decide to part ways?
They are usually very easy to install and set up and a new sensor, thermostat or lighting fixture can be paired easily with the existing environment. Removing a component from the network or repurposing it is just as easy. This is also what should be done when things between the humans operating the components are not as rose-tinted as they initially were. After a breakup this can become essential in keeping a vengeful (ex) partner from spying on their former partners using smart home devices.
Other than the devices we have come to love, the people living in those smart homes are not replaceable at the flick of a switch. Unlike smart home devices, humans are incredibly complicated.- The apparent simplicity of a smart home, paired with the sometimes complicated and irrational behavior of humans can lead to a sort of sci-fi, Black Mirror-esque nightmare – except that there is no „logout“ or “pause” button.
It is no secret that there are people out there who, for various reasons, want to exert the maximum amount of control over their partner. Smart home sensors then become almost a sort of godsend for those people – they allow the controlling partner to keep a very close eye on where his or her partner is in the house and what they are currently doing. If the partner leaves the house or opens a window, an overly controlling partner will know it instantly and can then use an installed web cam to take a look. When paired with (sometimes legal) surveillance apps, an overly attached person can put his or her partner under near constant surveillance.
Fortunately, though, this scenario has not gained a lot of traction - yet. The increasingly widespread use of smart home devices might change this in the future, though.
What’s especially difficult for people who live in a mentally (or even physically) abusive relationship with a controlling partner that it is extremely difficult to break out of this situation.
For outsiders it is of course easy to say „Just go away and leave“. The fact of the matter is: what has never worked back in any school when faced with the schoolyard bully, also does not work in those situations. It can even be dangerous for some people if they start putting up a fight. After all, there are many cases where emotional abuse sometimes crosses the boundaries to physical abuse. In addition, those who seek absolute control over their partner are often very skillful at manipulating others. This can even go as far as the “weaker” partner agreeing to the installation of spyware on their mobile devices: “I you care about me at all, you will install the app on your phone!”
Breaking up after the break-up
Breakups are never easy. Ideally, a breakup takes place on mutual terms. Nobody hates the other and each partner still respects the other, even though they have decided to part ways. Unfortunately, we do no live in an ideal world – and in this world, a vengeful “Ex” can make life a living hell using the smart home.
Depending on how stormy a breakup or divorce is, smart home access accounts are not necessarily a key focus area. There are, however, some things that are possible with a smart home can be used to build up stress and psychological pressure. The possibilities range from switching on the lights in the middle of the night to turning off air conditioning in the summer. There are yet other far more devious ways of making life difficult for the now-single person. If the ex partner still has access to a web-based home automation infrastructure, he or she can track on a minute-per-minute basis when the house is occupied. Sensor readouts make it possible. If a „smart“ door lock is being used, the ex partner can also come and go as they see fit. Any cameras that are connected to the smart home might be used to take a peek into the house. This of course makes illegal activities, such as publishing illicit recordings of the ex partner during sexual acts („revenge porn“) a possibility that should be considered. When using smart door locks, locking someone out by deleting their phone or token from the system. Another scenario involves reprogramming a door contact so it triggers an alarm siren instead of turning on the lights. The potential for abuse has very few limits.
What may sound like a nuisance can develop into a nightmare – this is all the more true if the two now-ex-partners still live in the same household. If you leave the house for work in the morning, not knowing whether your key still works in the evening or when the lights are flicked on over the web in the dead of night, then this will take its toll over a long period of time.
Retreat
A breakup between to people also needs to be performed on an electronic level. If one partner leaves the household, you need to make absolutely sure that any devices he or she might have configured are not accessible to him/her anymore. Changing the Wifi password and resetting any smarthome devices to factory settings might be a good first step. If devices are connected to a cloud platform, there are two options: either change the password for the platform login or create a completely new account. Note: since in many cases devices from different manufacturers are used, this step must be taken for all devices involved. Example: devices that are connected to Apple Home Kit, Alexa or Nest via vendor-specific online platforms.
When sharing an account between the two partners, one of the two must be locked out in a way that makes it impossible for him / her to regain control by using things like the “Forgot password?” function that many platforms have. This also requires rethinking the “Security questions”, because chances are that the ex partner knows the correct answers to many of those questions as they pertain to you (e.g. your mother’s maiden name, the name of your pet, etc).
If the breakup was stressful and stormy, you might even consider taking a break from smart home tech altogether – at least until the dust has settled a little bit. If a smart home device is not connected, it cannot be abused. The most radical, but also most effective method would be to purchase a completely new smart home infrastructure.
Reset all your smart home devices to factory settings. This often requires pushing a button on the device itself for a few seconds.
If using a cloud platform: Change the password or create a new account.
If none oft he previous steps is feasible: Ask your ex partner to physically remove the devices from the household. As an instant measure, cutting power is advisable – many devices are battery operated and will cease to function after removing the battery.
Make sure that no device slips through: Window and door contacts, motion sensors, cameras, speakers/sirens, microphones, lighting, smoke-/gas-/flood detectors, light sensors, or connected door locks: include all of your devices. If you are living in an emotionally or physically abusive relationship: seek help. | https://www.gdatasoftware.com/blog/2018/07/30928-when-your-partner-leaves-you-but-remains-in-your-smart-home |
Account holders of over numerous financial institutions in Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Peru are being targeted by an Android banking malware called Gigabud RAT.
“One of Gigabud RAT’s unique features is that it doesn’t execute any malicious actions until the user is authorized into the malicious application by a fraudster, […] which makes it harder to detect,” Group-IB researchers Pavel Naumov and Artem Grischenko said.
“Instead of using HTML overlay attacks, Gigabud RAT gathers sensitive information primarily through screen recording.”
Gigabud RAT was first documented by Cyble in January 2023 after it was spotted impersonating bank and government apps to siphon sensitive data. It’s known to be active in the wild since at least July 2022.
The Singapore-based company said it also identified a second variant of the malware minus the RAT capabilities. Dubbed Gigabud. Loan, it comes under the guise of a loan application that’s capable of exfiltrating user-input data.
“The targets were individuals lured into filling out a bank card application form to obtain a low-interest loan,” the researchers said. “The victims are convinced to provide personal information during the application process.”
Both malware versions are spread via phishing websites, the links to which are delivered to victims via SMS or instant messages on social media networks. Gigabud. Loan is also distributed directly in the form of APK files sent through messages on WhatsApp.
Targets who are approached on social media are often coerced into visiting the sites under the pretext of completing a tax audit and claiming a refund.
While Android devices have the “Install from Unknown Sources” setting disabled by default as a security measure to prevent the installation of apps from untrusted sources, the operating system allows other apps on installed on the device, such as web browsers, email clients, file managers, and messaging apps, to request the “REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES” permission.
Should a user grant permission to such apps, it allows the threat actors to install rogue APK files while bypassing the “Install from Unknown Sources” option.
Gigabud functions a lot like other Android banking trojans by requesting for accessibility services permissions to perform screen capturing and logging keystrokes. It’s also equipped to replace bank card numbers in clipboards and perform automated fund transfers through remote access.
On the other hand, Gigabud. Loan functions as a tool to collect personal information such as full name, identity number, national identity document photo, digital signature, education, income info, bank card information, and phone number under the guise of submitting a loan request to the bank.
The findings follow the discovery of 43 rogue apps on the Google Play Store that load ads while the device’s screen is turned off. The apps, with cumulative downloads of 2.5 million, have since been taken down or updated by the developers to remove the ad fraud component.
McAfee said the adware, once installed, seeks users’ permissions to exclude the apps when saving battery and allow it to draw over other apps, effectively opening the door to further malevolent attacks, such as loading ads in the background and displaying phishing pages.
The ad fraud library used by the apps also employs delay tactics to evade detection and can be remotely modified by the operators using the Firebase messaging service, lending it an additional layer of complexity.
The disclosure comes as the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is warning of an increase in scammers pretending to be recovery and tracing companies that can help victims of cryptocurrency investment scams regain lost assets.
“Recovery scheme fraudsters charge an up-front fee and either cease communication with the victim after receiving an initial deposit or produce an incomplete or inaccurate tracing report and request additional fees to recover funds,” the FBI said.
On top of that, the agency has cautioned that cybercriminals are embedding nefarious code in mobile beta-testing apps masquerading as legitimate cryptocurrency investment apps to defraud potential victims by facilitating the theft of personally identifiable information (PII) and financial account data.
“The apps may appear legitimate by using names, images, or descriptions similar to popular apps,” the agency explained. “Cyber criminals often use phishing or romance scams to establish communications with the victim, then direct the victim to download a mobile beta-testing app housed within a mobile beta-testing app environment, promising incentives such as large financial payouts.”
In these schemes, threat actors contact potential victims on dating and social networking apps and build trust with the ultimate aim to entice them into downloading pre-release versions of the apps.
“The victims enter legitimate account details into the app, sending money they believe will be invested in cryptocurrency, but instead the victim funds are sent to the cyber criminals,” the FBI said.
It’s worth noting that the abuse of Apple’s TestFlight beta testing framework to conduct pig butchering scams was highlighted by cybersecurity firm Sophos last year.
Recent waves of the campaign, also called CryptoRom, have weaponized Apple’s enterprise and developer ad-hoc app distribution schemes to deliver bogus crypto apps in a bid to slip past restrictions that prevent users from downloading iOS apps outside of the App Store.
In other instances, a seemingly innocuous app is trojanized after it is approved and published to the Apple and Google app storefronts by altering the remote code to point to an attacker-controlled server to introduce malicious behavior. | https://www.planetjon.net/news/cybersecurity/gigabud-rat-android-banking-malware-targets-institutions-across-countries/ |

CHAPTER 4 THE MEDIUM ACCESS CONTROL SUBLAYER(介质访问子层) • The channel allocation problem • Multiple access protocols • 802.3: Ethernet • 802.11: Wireless LANs • 802.15: Bluetooth • 802.16: Broadband wireless • Data link layer switching
THE CHANNEL ALLOCATION PROBLEM • Two types of network: • Those using point-to-point connection. • Those using broadcast channels. • In any broadcast network, the key issue is how to determine who gets to use the channel when there is competition for it. • Consider a telephone conference call. • Broadcast channels are sometimes referred to as multiaccess channels or random access channels. • The protocols used to determine who goes next on a multiaccess channel belong to a sublayer of the data link layer called the MAC (Medium Access Control). The MAC sublayer is the bottom part of the data link layer.
The Channel Allocation Problem: Introduction • How to allocate a single broadcast channel among competing users (信道分配问题) • Static channel allocation in LANs and MANs • TDM • FDM • Dynamic channel allocation in LANs and MANs • ALOHA • CSMA • Collision free protocols • Limited-contention protocols • …
The Channel Allocation Problem: Static channel allocation in LANs and MANs The traditional way of allocating a single channel among multiple competing users is Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM, 频分多路复用). • When there is only a small and fixed number of users, each of which has a heavy (buffered) load of traffic, FDM is a simple and efficient allocation. • When the number of senders is large and continuously varying or the traffic is busty, FDM has some problems.
Multiple Access Protocols: ALOHA • Let users transmit whenever they have data to be sent. • There will be collisions and the colliding frames will be destroyed. • The sender just waits a random amount of time and sends it again if a frame is destroyed. • Two types of ALOHA: • Pure ALOHA • Slotted ALOHA
Multiple Access Protocols: ALOHA In pure ALOHA, frames are transmitted at completely arbitrary times.
Multiple Access Protocols: ALOHA Vulnerable period for the shaded frame.
Multiple Access Protocols: ALOHA Throughput versus offered traffic for ALOHA systems.
Multiple Access Protocols: Slotted ALOHA • In 1972, Roberts published a method for doubling the capacity of an ALOHA system. • The vulnerable period is halved for Slotted ALOHA. • Small increases in the channel load can drastically reduce its performance. • Note: Protocols that are perfectly valid fall into disuse for political reasons, but years later some clever person realizes that a long-discarded protocol solves his current problem. • Study many protocols that are in current use. • Study a number of elegant protocols that are not currently in widespread use, but might easily be used in future applications.
Multiple Contention • With stations transmitting at will, without paying attention to what the other stations are doing, there are bound to be many collisions. poor channel utilization. • If stations can detect what other stations are doing and adapt their behavior accordingly, better channel utilization. • Protocols in which stations listen for a carrier and act accordingly are called carrier sense multiple access protocols (CSMA Protocols, 载波侦听多点接入协议).
Multiple Contention • Persistent CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access) • Nonpersistent CSMA • p-persistent CSMA • CSMA with Collision Detection
Multiple Contention: Persistent CSMA When a station has data to send, it first listens to the channel to see if anyone else is transmitting at that moment. • If the station detects an idle channel, it transmits a frame. • If the channel is busy, the station waits until it becomes idle. • If a collision occurs (?), the station waits a random amount of time and starts all over again. The protocol is called 1-persistent because the station transmits with a probability of 1 whenever it finds the channel idle.
Multiple Contention: Persistent CSMA Discussion • The propagation delay has an important effect on the performance of the protocol • There is a small chance that just after a station begins sending, another station will become ready to send and sense the channel. If the first station’s signal has not yet reached the second one, the latter will sense an idle channel and will also begin sending, resulting in a collision. • Even if the propagation delay is zero, there will still be collisions. • Better than ALOHA
Multiple Access Protocols:CSMA with Contention: Non-persistent CSMA • Before sending, a station senses the channel. • If no one else is sending, the station begins doing so itself. • If the channel is already in use, the station does not continually sense it for the purpose of seizing it immediately upon detecting the end of the previous transmission. Instead, it waits a random period of time and then repeats the algorithm. • Discussion • better channel utilization than 1-persistent CSMA • longer delays than 1-persistent CSMA
Multiple Access Protocols:CSMA with Contention: p-persistent CSMA • When a station becomes ready to send, it senses the channel. • If it is idle, it transmits with a probability p. With a probability q=1-p, it defers until the next slot. If that slot is also idle, it either transmits or defers again, with probabilities p and q. • This process is repeated until either the frame has been transmitted or another station has begun transmitting. • If the station initially senses the channel busy, it waits until the next slot and applies the above algorithm. • Discussion • Applied to slotted channels • better channel utilization than 1-persistent CSMA
Multiple Access Protocols:CSMA with Contention: Comparison of the channel utilization versus load for various random access protocols.
Multiple Access Protocols:CSMA with Contention: CSMA/CD • CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) is an improvement over CSMA. As soon as stations detect a collision, they stop their transmissions. • CSMA/CD can be in one of three states: contention, transmission, or idle. • In the worst case a station cannot be sure that it has seized the channel until it has transmitted for 2τ without hearing a collision. Here τ is the time for a signal to propagate between the two farthest stations.
Multiple Access Protocols:CSMA without Contention: A Bit-Map Protocol • Each contention period consists of exactly N slots. • In general, station j may announce the fact that it has a frame to send by inserting a 1 bit into slot j. • After all N slots have passed by, each station has complete knowledge of which stations wish to transmit. • At that point, they begin transmitting in numerical order. Since everyone agrees on who goes next, there will never by any collisions. • After the last ready station has transmitted its frame, an event all stations can easily monitor, another N bit contention period is begun.
Multiple Limited-Contention • Adaptive Tree Walk Protocol（适应数搜索协议） • The tree for eight stations.
Multiple Limited-Contention • Adaptive Tree Walk Protocol • At what level in the tree should the search begin? Clearly, the heavier the load, the farther down the tree the search should begin. • Begin at i=log_2 q where q is the estimate of the number of ready stations. • Numerous improvements to the basic algorithm have been discovered (Bersekas and Gallager, 1992)
Multiple Access Protocols: WDMA Protocols • WDMA（Wavelength Division Multiple, 波分多路访问协议）: • Divide the channel into subchannels using WDM • Control channel • Data channel • Three services • Constant data rate connection-oriented traffic • Variable data rate connection-oriented traffic • Datagram traffic.
Multiple Access Protocols: Wavelength Division Multiple Access Protocols
Multiple Access Protocols: WDMA Protocols • Each station has two transmitters and two receivers, as follows: • A fixed-wavelength receiver for listening to its own control channel. • A tunable transmitter for sending on other station's control channel. • A fixed-wavelength transmitter for outputting data frames. • A tunable receiver for selecting a data transmitter to listen to.
Multiple Access Protocols:WDMA Protocols • Consider how station A sets up a communication channel with station B for, say, file transfer. • First, A tunes its data receiver to B's data channel and waits for the status slot. • Then, A picks one of the free control slots, say 4, and inserts its CONNECTION REQUEST message there. • B sees the request and grants it and announces this in the status slot of the control channel.
Multiple Access Protocols:WDMA Protocols • A sees the announcement, and has a connection. • A now sends B a control message saying, for example, “Please watch my next data output slot 3. There is a data frame for you in it.” • When B gets the control message, it tunes its receiver to A’s output channel to read the data frame.
Multiple Access Protocols: Wireless LAN Protocols • Hidden station problem (AB) : The problem of a station not being able to detect a potential competitor for the medium because the competitor is too far away. • Exposed station problem (BA) • The problem is that before starting a transmission, a station really wants to know whether or not there is activity around the receiver not the sender.

It is unclear whether the modernization program will slow from its rate of 48 UH-60V conversions per year in order to address DOT&E program recommendations. In total, 750 UH-60L helicopters will be converted to the new standard.
U.S. Army helicopter pilots are currently benefitting from the Sikorsky UH-60V Victor modernization program to upgrade the analog cockpit architecture of legacy UH-60L Blackhawk utility helicopters to UH-60V designations – complete with glass cockpit equipment similar to the pilot-vehicle interface (PVI) in Sikorsky UH-60M models. However, while the upgrades are resulting in a marked increase in pilot awareness, the Pentagon's Director of Operational Test and Evaluation (DOT&E) has found that they do not positively affect aircraft survivability, especially in regard to cybersecurity.
According to the DOT&E report, the many of the twelve deficiencies and 43 shortcomings found during May 2018 software version testing were corrected; however, numerous “potential insider and near-sider cyber-attack vectors” were identified with confirmation that at least some of the vectors were exploitable.

Redstone Defense Systems is the prime contractor for implementing the Northrop Grumman Corporation-designed Victor cockpit.
Northrop Grumman provides the Integrated Avionics Suite for the UH-60V, which includes an integrated computational system, visual display system, and control display units to create one of the most advanced avionics systems in the U.S. Army. It replicates the UH-60M PVI for a lower cost than a new UH-60M and extends the life and mission capabilities of the UH-60L fleet.
Beyond the enhanced PVI, the Victor cockpit utilizes an open architecture designed for rapid system integration and interoperability, an important requirement for the U.S. Army’s Future Vertical Lift (FVL) program. While the UH-60V and UH-60M models use the same airframe as original UH-60 helicopters, the FVL programs goal is to make cost-effective, incremental upgrades to airframes, equipment, and capabilities, much in the same way a modern smartphone is regularly updated through software rollouts.

Phishing attacks take many forms with websites, emails and text messaging being the most common. These attacks have been on the rise since most of us started to work and study at home due to COVID-19. As of Nov 2020, Google reported just over 2 Million websites for that year alone! The CyberSafeTT PhishTank has some of the more common Phishing Website examples and these are updated regularly.
These attacks are not only increasing in numbers but also increasing in sophistication. A recent series of Phishing Emails were uncovered where the target was staff at a local university.
The Phishing emails were made to seem to come from a credible gmail account which included the full name of the staff member. In an attempt to also make the email more credible, a complete signature was affixed to the email as well, which would make the unsuspecting recipient more trusting that the email is real.
It would seem that scammers are taking more time to carefully scrape (copy) information from the staff profile of an organization website when creating a phishing email. This is a far cry from where phishing emails started.
Seen to the right, is a replica of such an email.
There are many things in that email which have been intentionally placed to make it seem more credible. However, upon closer inspection you would realize that these are actually tell-tale signs of a Phishing scam.
Even though the email address contains the full name of the person, you should pay attention to the numbers appended to that email. Ask yourself if you’ve ever seen that person send you an email from that address before?
Most phishing scams tend to relay a sense of urgency. If the person in question is close to you, would they send an email as an ‘urgent’ form of communication or would they have called or sent a text instead? Also, does this writing sound like how the person would normally write an email? | http://cybersafett.com/phishing-emails-get-smarter/ |

Set output to: D:\MyPath\MySourceFile.ext
The output file is encrypted and can be decrypted by the holder of KEY2.
Using the command line, KEY2 owner can NOT decrypt file.
It wasn’t but it is now and I have added the --passphrase “Phrase” to my command line.
I have also changed the -r KEY2 to be -R KEY3 which is another public key I have and I was able to decrypt that file. Using:
gpg --batch -u KEY3 -o D:\MyPath\MySourceFile2.ext -se -v -r KEY2 D:\MyPath\MyFileName.ext aheinecke August 23, 2023, 6:30am 4
The most obvious reason for this would be how do you provide KEY2 do you provide it by fingerprint (as recommended) or by a UserID. Maybe when you provide it with a UserID it does not select the same key you would expect from the UI.

The Department of Defense’s cybersecurity compliance program for contractors will be pared down in scope and expectations, according to an acquisition regulation document.
The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) will no longer require every contractor to get a third-party certification if they do not touch controlled unclassified data, a change that could reduce the cost of compliance for thousands of contractors.
Under the new CMMC model, which is known as CMMC 2.0, the number of security tiers is being shrunk from five to three. Novel CMMC maturity practices will also be eliminated from the standard.
CMMC has caused both excitement and heartache for the defense contracting industry since it was first floated in 2019. Advocates argue the assessments would raise cybersecurity standards across the defense industrial base, while critics say it would penalize small businesses that can’t afford to comply with the requirements.
The new regulation document was published on the Federal Register Thursday morning, before shortly afterward being withdrawn.
“CMMC 2.0 will dramatically strengthen the cybersecurity of the defense industrial base,” Jesse Salazar, deputy assistant secretary of defense for industrial policy, said in a release. “By establishing a more collaborative relationship with industry, these updates will support businesses in adopting the practices they need to thwart cyber threats while minimizing barriers to compliance with DoD requirements.”
The changes are outlined in a proposed rule change to the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation (DFARs) that is set to be published Nov. 5.
Following the changes, level three of the model will be bifurcated, meaning that only prioritized contracts will require third party assessments. Some level three contractors handling controlled, unclassified information (CUI) will be able to follow self-assessment protocol, following current DOD acquisition protocol.
Other changes that will impact contractors include an allowance for “Plan of Action and Milestone” (PoAM) reports, allowing contractors that do not meet every security control time to prove that they will in the future. Allowing for PoAMs has been a point of contention because failure to meet a control in a CMMC inspection would have meant a contractor could not work with DOD. PoAMs will give contractors the ability to still pass an assessment even if they are not meeting all the requirements at that time.
The new CMMC rule also introduces a broader waiver process for contractors.
The new model comes after industry groups had urged DOD for clarity on how CMMC will be implemented. Former leaders, including former Undersecretary for Acquisition and Sustinament Ellen Lord, had also urged DOD to not “let the perfect be the enemy of the good” as officials reviewed the program.
Defense contractors are not the only group that could be impacted by the changes. An industry of assessors, consultants, trainers and other cyber experts was expecting to meet demand for all 300,000 defense contractors that do business with the DOD. The vast majority of contractors that do not work on sensitive programs would have only needed a level one assessment, officials said.
With less demand, there could be less strain on the assessors that have been accredited by the CMMC Accreditation Body (CMMC AB), the third-party organization that oversees the ecosystem of assessors.
CMMC AB CEO Matt Travis recently expressed concern about the supply of certified assessors being able to meet the impending demand.
“In terms of a framework we have a pretty strong architecture, the real x-factor is are there enough Americans who are interested in becoming assessors?” he said during a recent interview with FedScoop. “I know it’s a tight labor market, so that’s probably the one thing I worry most about.”
Speaking to FedScoop, Eric Crusius, a partner at Holland Knight LLP, said questions remain over the precise nature of CMMC 2.0, but warned that allowing businesses to self-certify at CMMC level one could spur False Claims Act litigation.
“There would [likely] be a lot more room for whistleblowers under that regime,” said Crusius.
Editor’s Note: This article was updated to clarify that under CMMC 2.0, some contractors with level three designation will be able to self-certify.

When analyzing malware, it is always interesting to have a sandbox environment to speed up dynamic analysis. You can always use public (or private) system on the internet (like malwr.com or threatexpert.com) but you miss the complete control of the system (live internet callbacks) and more important you give the sample to the "cloud".
This is the reason why I wanted to test cuckoo sandbox as this is python based and opensource (http://www.cuckoosandbox.org/).
After some time following the (good) official guide, I finished with a fully working virtualbox based sandbox environment.
After firing some sample that I never had time to really analyze, I have to say that I was a little bit disappointed, a lot of sample didn't run at all. I was suspecting that the anti-vm included in actual malware were detecting the virtualbox (or the cuckoo processes?).
There are some articles on how to harden cuckoo running on virtualbox so I started with alienvault blog post (http://www.alienvault.com/open-threat-exchange/blog/hardening-cuckoo-sandbox-against-vm-aware-malware) but it is a bit outdated. I finally found a more recent post (version 0.6) (http://kromer.pl/malware-analysis/installing-and-hardening-latest-cuckoo-sandbox-on-gentoo-linux/). As I'm on debian or ubuntu I had to modify a bit but this was a good start.
I used the netlog branch, patched the cuckoomon dll (btw if you are on ubuntu change the Makefile (CC parameter) on line 2 with: CC = i586-mingw32msvc-gcc).
After sending the famous "pafish.exe" to my Virtualbox sandbox I was surprised to see that it detects the virtual machine through a registry key "VideoBiosVersion":
Ok, so we could simply add a hook for this registry key but it makes me feel that pafish is not exhaustive in regards to virtualbox detection. To try to have a full list of virtualbox detection I refer to the research of WALIEDASSAR (@waleedassar) that published 9 methods to detect Virtualbox (http://pastebin.com/RU6A2UuB).
To compile it "out of the box" on ubuntu use this code (I modified it a bit to better view the possible detected method in the running VM). I also removed method 9 as this is related to "Shared folder" and I don't have any on the sandbox VM:

PGP supports message authentication and integrity examining. The latter is utilized to detect irrespective of whether a information has become altered because it was done (the concept integrity home) and the former to determine irrespective of whether it had been essentially sent by the person or entity claimed to get the important site sender (a digital signature). As the information is encrypted, any variations during the information will cause failure from the decryption with the right essential.

Well, we can now answer those questions. Over the past few months, Check Point’s researchers have painstakingly uncovered the identity of a prolific cyber-criminal known as ‘Dton’. He has been active for over seven years, and earned at least $100,000 US from his ‘work.’ In fact, it’s likely he has earned several times that amount.
Dton is 25, single, and lives in Benin City, a place with a population of nearly 1.5 million in Southern Nigeria. From his resumé, Dton seems like a model citizen. But he also has another identity: Bill Henry, a career cyber-criminal who buys goods with stolen credit cards and launches phishing and malware attacks.
Bill / Dton started out by speculating a little: he spent around $13,000 buying the details of 1000 credit cards from a special online marketplace specializing in stolen payment card credentials. With each stolen card – costing around $4 to $16 each – Bill usually tried to charge about 200,000 Nigerian Naira (NAN), equivalent to around $550 US. If the transaction is blocked, he tries another merchant, or another card until one succeeds. From his ‘investment’ in the 1000 stolen cards, Bill has been able to charge at least $100,000.
However, it seems that constantly buying new blocks of stolen card details started to irritate Bill / Dton: he resented having to pay upfront and wanted higher margins and profits. So he started buying ‘leads’ – bulk email addresses of potential targets, so he could launch his own exploits.
Moving into multi-level malware marketing
Bill / Dton started buying up the tools of the trade to help him craft malware to spam out to his list of targets. These tools include off-the-shelf packers and crypters, infostealer and keylogger components, and exploits. With these tools, he could custom-build his own malware, insert them into a benign-looking document, create his email, then blast it out to his large list of marks.
This quickly delivered lots of user credentials that Bill could exploit, earning him more money – and also satisfying his boss. Yes, Bill / Dton is not a sole trader: he has a manager, who in turn reports to another manager. These managers pass seed capital down to Bill / Dton, but they also expect strong returns on their investments. It’s the cybercrime equivalent of a ‘pyramid selling’ or multi-level marketing scheme.
Once again, Bill / Dton started to get irritated (as we all sometimes do) by his boss nagging all the time, and by the diminishing returns from buying and using off-the-shelf malware toolkits. He decided to develop his own malware from scratch – malware that has no known signature, and that can bypass most security defenses – so he could work for himself.
It’s a RAT eat RAT world
As Bill / Dton is not a coder, he hired a person named ‘RATs &exploits’ to develop his malware for him. But it seems the expression ‘there is no honor amongst thieves’ is true: Bill / Dton compromised Mr RATs &exploits’ machine with a RAT, so he could spy on his work and hopefully steal some of his secrets. When that wasn’t enough, he also engaged – and then fell out with – another shady character behind a specialized malware packer program, by arguing with him on underground forums over prices and usage. The result was that when Bill / Dton didn’t get what he wanted, he reported the other party to Interpol. The cyber-crime economy is certainly a rat-eat-rat world – but all the while and despite these minor setbacks, Bill / Dton carried on earning illicit cash.
Dton’s journey into cybercrime shows how even a relatively unskilled, and undisciplined individual can profit handsomely from fraud and malicious online activity. This is simply because, like many other criminal activities, cyber-crime is a numbers game. It doesn’t matter if 499 people don’t open a malware-spiked email: the 500th person will. And when you can target hundreds of thousands of people at a time, you only need to infect a handful to get hold of your ill-gotten gain.
To protect yourself against becoming a victim of the thousands of Dtons / Bills out there, you should follow these best practices:
When shopping online, ensure you are ordering goods from an authentic source. Don’t click on promotional links in emails, and instead Google your desired retailer and click the link from the Google results page to avoid having your personal and payment details skimmed.
Beware of ‘special’ offers. An 80% discount on a new iPhone or “an exclusive cure for Coronavirus for $150” is usually not a reliable or trustworthy opportunity.
Beware of lookalike domains, spelling errors in emails or websites, and unfamiliar email senders. | https://blog.checkpoint.com/2020/03/17/a-life-of-cybercrime-the-inside-story-of-how-a-nigerian-hacker-earned-over-100000/ |
Cyber-attacks and threats seem to be dominating the news lately as hackers are finding ways to exploit security weaknesses in governments, companies, healthcare organizations, and personal home devices. The new breed of attacks is now taking data and entire systems down and demanding ransom payments in the tens of millions of dollars.
According to the U.S. Government’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Assurance Agency (CISA): Ransomware is an ever-evolving form of malware designed to encrypt files on a device, rendering any files and the systems that rely on them unusable. Malicious actors then demand ransom in exchange for decryption. Ransomware actors often target and threaten to sell or leak exfiltrated data or authentication information if the ransom is not paid.
The impact of these attacks will quickly have an outsized impact on not only the entity attacked, but on consumers who will bear the brunt of the cost.
Cyber Security
Ransomware attacks were up 150% in 2020, and growing even faster in 2021, and the financial amount companies paid to hackers grew by 300%, according to Harvard Business Review.
This sudden increase has an undeniable connection to the increase in employees working remotely last year. The pandemic gave hacker groups the perfect opportunity to breach sensitive data because most businesses were not prepared to require employees to install the proper security protections at their home office.
It is estimated that there are between 20 and 30 billion Internet-connected devices which include computers, tablets, smartphones, wireless Internet, and other “smart” devices, like televisions, home security cameras, and even refrigerators. More devices mean more avenues for attack by hackers.
Already in 2021, we’ve seen a dramatic increase in this activity, with high-profile ransom attacks against critical infrastructure, private companies, and municipalities grabbing headlines almost daily.
Recently the City of Tulsa discovered some servers were actively communicating with a known threat site and a ransomware attack was initiated on several City systems. According to the city’s website, “A cybersecurity incident response team was assembled to assess the threat and disconnected the affected servers. The team immediately began isolating the affected systems and the attack moved quickly through the network, prompting the team to shut down all services to halt the attack.”
The attack on the City of Tulsa’s network caused a massive disruption in many city’s services and was costly to resolve.
“We have multiple computers all linked together. We’re talking about hundreds if not thousands of different types of connections that the city is looking into right now,” Captain Richard Meulenberg said as he explained the situation from the Tulsa Police Department.
When a government entity is hacked it has the potential to undermine the security of thousands of systems, networks, and services. Government hacking often depends on exploiting vulnerabilities in systems with the objective to create chaos or more deviously, it could have a surveillance objective. Government hacking may also involve manipulating people to interfere with their own systems. These techniques prey on user trust, the loss of which can undermine the security of systems and the internet.
The reality is most of the cyber-attacks are done by Governments and most were launched against other governments to demonstrating a state’s capabilities rather than causing real disruption. Now that’s changed. The real damage is being down and massive resources are being used to prevent attacks, repair damages, and claw back ransom payments.
Non-government entities have also been hacked more often and none bigger than the breach of Colonial Pipeline in late April. The Colonial Pipeline attack made such an impact because the pipeline is an important part of the national critical infrastructure system. Taking the system down disrupted gas supplies all along the East Coast of the United States, causing chaos and panic.
This attack hit close to home for many consumers and was particularly dangerous because consumers started to panic and ignored safety precautions. After the chaos receded, government officials confirmed that Colonial Pipeline’s cybersecurity measures were not up to par and may have been prevented if stronger protection was in place.
Cybersecurity, which began in the early 1970s, has always been tied to technological advancements.

Cryptography Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for software developers, mathematicians and others interested in cryptography. It only takes a minute to sign up.
Integer operations as implemented on computers are isomorphic to a theoretical definition of integers. Otherwise operations would not give the correct results.
Given the terminology in your question, I suspect that when you think of integer operations on a computer, you're thinking of operations on machine words. Cryptography uses numbers that don't fit in machine words: any cryptography code that works on integers (i.e. generally speaking asymmetric cryptography) must include a bignum library (or rely on a third-party one).
Two's complement is a way to represent negative integers. It's irrelevant to cryptography because cryptography pretty much never uses negative integers: only nonnegative integers ($\mathbb{N}$, or integers modulo $n$ which are stored using their representative in the range $[0,n-1]$.
You can find a formal proof of the equivalence between Peano arithmetic and arithmetic on binary representations in many places, for example in the BitNat module of Coq.
Implementing integer operations is a non-problem as far as getting the correct result, but it does have an impact on security. If the implementation is not careful, side channels such as timing and memory access patterns may leak confidential data that compromises the security of a protocol that would be secure if the adversary could not find out any information about the intermediate values.
We know that the number theoretic model of integers do NOT always provide a perfect or even practically suitable model for the behavior of integers as implemented in computers. Applied cryptography must take into account
Possible overflow of a machine word (rarely larger than 64-bit, which is much smaller than used in asymmetric cryptography). That's the relatively easy part, and taken care by "bignum" libraries (built into some languages).
Implementation errors that creep (example), often for specific compilers and hardware, rare and obscure:
This error occurs when the DIV/DIVW instruction is interrupted and a second interrupt is generated during the execution of the IRET instruction of the first ISR.
Data-dependent timing dependencies: bignum libraries and sometime hardware or/and compiler tend to take variable time depending on the number of machine words used and values manipulated, which can lead to key or plaintext leak. A foundational paper is Paul C. Kocher Timing Attacks on Implementations of Diffie-Hellman, RSA, DSS, and Other Systems (in proceedings of Crypto 1996). This is dealt with special implementations of bignum libraries tailored to either operate in constant-time, or make it hard to gather exploitable information from their residual timing variation. An important special case is comparison (memcmp library function, sometime even the equality operator ==) which is a common and easy target for timing attack.
Other side channels like power consumption. A foundational paper is Paul C. Kocher, Joshua Jaffe, Benjamin Jun Differential Power Analysis (in proceedings of Crypto 1999).
Faults: attacker can often force the implementation to make errors (with a laser on the IC of a Smart Card..) and deduce information from the incorrect results obtained. A foundational example is the so-called Bellcore attack: Dan Boneh, Richard A. DeMillo, and Richard J. Lipton On the importance of checking cryptographic protocols for faults (in Journal of Cryptology, 2001, originally in proceedings of Eurocrypt 1997). Here is a (dated) introduction to the practicalities.
On a theoretical standpoint ignoring the above issues, there is exact correspondence (isomorphism) between integers modulo $2^k$ and $k$-bit computer words for the usual unsigned binary arithmetic. Mathematical two-operand operators $+$, $-$, $\cdot$ (multiplication), $/$ (understood here as quotient of Euclidean division), and $\bmod$ (remainder of Euclidean division) precisely correspond to +, -, *, / and % in the C language (and hardware instructions when available) for variables of any unsigned type, with the possible exception of the behavior of division and remainder with value zero of the right operand (which is forbidden in math, but leads to undefined behavior or exception in computer arithmetic). | https://crypto.stackexchange.com/questions/60921/why-do-algebraic-proofs-apply-to-cryptography/60928 |

There are many advantages to using antivirus free of charge. For one, you may use it as many times as you want. Secondly, a no cost antivirus plan is incredibly convenient, as it can be attached to as many gadgets as you like. However it is important to keep in mind that a free of charge antivirus application is quite a bit less complete like a paid type, and this lacks a few essential levels of coverage. Furthermore, the word ‘antivirus’ is usually misleading, since a good antivirus security software program generally offer many more www.winfieldparker.com/technology/3-ways-to-fix-game-security-violation-detected/ features, including spam filtering, parent controls, pass word managers, impair storage, and more.
Free anti-virus programs can be very useful for property users, as most of them are totally free. In fact , some even come with extra features, like a VPN and a dedicated fire wall. These features can really increase the security of the computer and protect your privacy whilst browsing the web. But , be mindful: there are some limitations, so it is critical to remember that free of charge antivirus programs are not an alternative for superior products. Besides, you should also check if the malware you’ve picked has a unique module that creates a save shoe drive to help you check your system from a clean environment.
The most common totally free antivirus is Microsoft Defense, which comes with Windows and runs automatically. It’s not very efficient and lacks a lot of features that a paid malware offers. It’s as successful against ransomware and phishing attacks mainly because rivals, and it is a disaster looking to happen. On the other hand, many users find it seeing that effective simply because more expensive options. Due to this, you might want to try the no cost version of Bitdefender’s Total Security, but it could not yet available. | https://fsdrainage.com/antivirus-for-free/ |
I thought i would take this opportunity to thank Johan and all of the people who have put their 2 cents worth in here.
I take the test in less than 2 weeks, and this board has helped me tremendously.
Example: PKI, all the books i have show a different number of trust models and they call them different names. I was frustrated by not knowing which book to trust on these kind of things. So then I had to search the Internet for the truth (which I know you have to do), but it's terrible since you pay all of this money to be taught correctly; not guess
There are others, but I cant think of them at the moment. I am not sure I will ever use Sybex again after this
Sorry everyone for the rants and raves but it's getting down to crunch time and I am having nightmares on this. 86% is a lot
Frustrating enough to try and do it better myself... guess what, I make mistakes too. But you are right, it can be really frustrating. It's a amazing how some educators forget one of the most important aspects of an information system: the information needs to be reliable. There are many ways (words) to describe the same thing, and when you try to simplify relatively complex topics, it's hard to write something that is 100% correct (because there are often exceptions, or different ways of interpreting the same words) let alone something that is consistant with other material. In CompTIA exams, you won't be asked about the exceptions, but the general and most common situations/answers.
Another thing is flat out wrong stuff. Example: I have used for Sybex for a lot of studying but this 2nd edition is just $#%$. I mean it states that L2TP uses port 22 when SSH uses port 22. I hope you are using the 2nd edition of the Sybex Security+ book, the first one is truly terrible, which is un-Sybex... Are you really using the second edition? I can hardly believe they didn't fix that. I received a review copy from Sybex (1st edition) and pointed out that error long before the 2nd edition came out. It's even on the errata:
Yes I am using the Sybex 2nd Edition. The error is on page 120. I am so ticked (but I would the book would've caused me to mark something like that incorrectly)
Little things like that can make or break you on this test it seems. I think I know my stuff (I do pretty well on your tests and the exam cram practice test book).
But I am trying to learn the stuff inside and out (not cramming enough to get by). Because what good is my cert if I go into a job and dont remeber jack?
I am just mainly worried that I will overlook something and a few questions will squeek by and I fail. I am really not good at taking tests because I freak out even though I know I know the answer.
Again, many thanks for building a website such as this for people who want to KNOW the material, not just pass. On that note, I have tons of flashcard questions, study guides, etc. that will really be no use to me once I pass the test that I wrote myself if you would like it for the website. They are not as good as yours, but it's just a thought in case you need them
The errors you pointed out in the Sybex 2nd edition is a prime example of why one should never use one source for preperation for these test. Sounds like you're on the right track. To add to what you're already doing, make sure that you get practice if at all possible. For example, go into the tcp/ip properties of your network card, go into the advanced section, then click on options. In here play around with the tcp/ip filters. Experiment with permitting only certain traffic and only using certain ports. For example, dis-allow ports 53 and 389 and see if you can still log on to your domain (considering you have one). 389 is LDAP and 53 is DNS. I have students do exercises like this all the time, and it's amazing how far doing this can go in helping them remember what port is used for what. Apply the same principle to as many security+ topics as possible, and you will find the test challenging, but not overwhelming.
Not only is this a good way to remember stuff, it makes it a lot more fun.
I hadnt thought of doing that, but I will try it.
I have a home lab set up as well as a nice WLAN (for my roaming wife) and I set up filters inside the wireless router and inside of zone alarm. Amazing what you can do down to that level.
Practice does make perfect. The theory parts put me to sleep and the way I learn is to "break it" and then figure out how to "fix it". Stupid way my brain works. If I know how it ticks, I know how it can be fixed.
I think I am 98% ready to take the exam next week, but may wait a week or two to make sure. I wouldn't be so worried if it had a pass rate like the A+ or Net+, but with the way CompTia sometimes writes screwy questions, I want to make sure
Hopefully I wont sound too much like a broken record here on the forum, but I dont know anyone where I live or work with that is taking or has taken this exam, so I am just trying to get as much "insight" as possible. | https://community.infosecinstitute.com/discussion/8670/since-the-board-doesnt-seem-to-be-on-fire-with-new-posts |

Welcome to Spammers Corner. Where the senders don’t matter, and the replies are hilarious!
After watching James Veitch’s Ted Talks video titled “This is what happens when you reply to SPAM email” I’ve been inspired to have some fun of my own.
I’m starting a new section on this blog titled “Spammers Corner” where I respond to SPAM and see what fun I can have. | http://thegeekpost.com/category/it-security/spammers-corner/ |
This reward offer stems from Microsoft’s recognition that the Rustock botnet is responsible for a number of criminal activities and serves to underscore our commitment to tracking down those behind it.
"While the primary goal for our legal and technical operation has been to stop and disrupt the threat that Rustock has posed for everyone affected by it, we also believe the Rustock bot-herders should be held accountable for their actions.
Why has Microsoft put so much effort into this particular botnet?
In part because of the serious damage it has done. By Microsoft's estimation, the botnet had capacity for sending 30 billion spams. A day.
Bear in mind, too, that this is after Rustock was taken down through a huge international effort that marshaled industry and academic researchers, legal teams, and governments to do so.
So, what does all this mean?
My own take is that they may never capture the folks responsible, and a lot of infected machines are still out there, mostly unbeknownst to their owners, no doubt, so there's still a lot of work to be done.
My belief is that the botnet will take many years to die completely, because most of the people who're running infected machines aren't running antivirus software, and if they haven't noticed their machines are infected by now, they probably never will.
Thus, they're unlikely to install some and remove the botnet from their PC.
In which case, it'll only die when the infected PCs themselves go to the scrapyard.
In the mean time, at least the technological solutions in place should make it very hard for the infected machines to come back to life and spew more spam.

We had a sobering event last week. Our bank account was almost hacked and had the hackers been successful, we would no longer be in business. All this hard work of building a nice company over many years could have been wiped out in 60 seconds.
Fortunately this didn’t happen. But it was so close that I had a tough time sleeping for a few days. Thank goodness for the keen eye of our office manager, Patricia, who saved us from losing everything in our checkbook.
Here are the three things I learned:
1. The hackers are really sneaky and good at what they do.
2. If the money gets stolen then it’s gone. The bank can’t really help you.
3. You must have a strategy for your online business banking approach.
The first one is pretty obvious. We know these guys are good at what they do. They look at it as their job. In case you question this, please consider that we are not talking about dorm room geek stuff. These are highly trained computer programmers located in distant countries that know how to get in between your very keystrokes. Even good antivirus software can be nothing but an annoyance to them and far from a brick wall.
We had what was called a “man in the middle” attack. In this type of attack, the would-be thieves have the ability to see when we login in to our account. Now mind you, our account has three separate passwords including a random one from a key chain token that is newly generated with each new login session. These guys didn’t need to hack our passwords; instead they simply jumped in once we were logged in and then took control. They put up a screen asking for some additional information which was nothing but a shroud to cover the actual screens they were looking at. We found out later that they went straight to the online transfer area and were in the process of setting up a wire transfer. Fortunately Patricia started thinking the extra screen that had popped up didn’t feel right so she called the bank. They had Patricia unplug the computer right away which broke the connection that the hackers were using.
You see the real trick here is that the hackers were riding on our connection and using the bank account as if it were us. In fact, since they were using our connection, even the IP address looked like it came from us because it did! As such, any wire transfer that would have been made, would have looked legitimate. Legitimate enough that the bank couldn’t distinguish that it wasn’t us actually authorizing the transfer.
This gets to my second point; The banks can’t really do anything. If the robbers had wired the money out, then it was gone. Yes there is some process where you can go through “recovery” and get the law authorities involved, but that takes weeks if not months. Meanwhile you still have to pay your employees, rent, vendors etc. and if you have no cash then, as Porky Pig said, “That’s all folks”.
I read online about several small businesses that were wiped out in this manner.
So what do you do? How do you accomplish online business banking?
There are various ways to better protect yourself and you should look at all of them and determine what will work best for your needs. First, get excellent virus and firewall software. Don’t do the free stuff. Pay for a good one. Second, and this is what we have done, limit your online banking to one machine and do not use that machine for anything else. Don’t do email on it, Don’t surf the web. Don’t download web software. Just use it for looking at your accounts. And when you are done, turn it off. Third, have double approval processes for wire transfers where any transfer must be authenticated with a phone call from the bank. Fourth, talk to your bank about a service called “ACH Blocker” where they limit online payments and transfers to a list of approved parties. You can add and delete the contents of this list at anytime but the point is, no strange or unknown parties can get your money without additional approval from you.
This was a real wake up call. It took me several days to wrap my head around how close I was to losing everything. I hope that this article will stimulate you to look at your own practices and make some changes that can prevent something from happening to you. | https://www.dchomesystems.com/computer-security-and-online-banking/ |
