Who Is China Going To Hack Next?

Eyes are once again on China for on going cyber-espoinage

China has often come under fire for engaging in cyber warfare.

Earlier in 2016, Chinese cyber spies were accused of attacking and taking control of many of workstations that are installed at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.

In 2015, China was once again accused of a massive data breach inside the US Office of Personnel Management which brought forward the data of over 21 million people to the public.

And in 2014, China was prosecuted for cyber-espionage for economic gain when US Federal prosecutors blamed the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).

Even though China has denied all the allegations against them, there is no denying that cyber-warfare is on the rise and countries are taking an active part into it. The only question remains, who will be the next target?

A New Chrome Update Will Help In Preventing Quantum Computer’s Cracking Encryption

Chrome update will help prevent quantum computers from taking control

Google has just released a new update for their Chrome browser that will help in preventing quantum computers from cracking any kind of encryption.

Now the tech giant is testing a new technology they are calling ‘CECPQ1’. It will be injected into some selected HTTPS sites which will give them stronger protection.

The chief security strategist at Venafi said that whenever the NSA urges the companies to move or get prepared, there is a good chance that something is coming our way.

That’s why big companies like Google are now testing new security protocols to protect home computers and smartphones from emerging threats.

Chrome Will Now Flag Non-HTTPS Logins And Credit Card Info ‘Not Secure’

Starting from January 2017, all https sites will be not secure

Google is all set to lock down the web traffic that use encryption between the web server and browser.

As of January 2017, Google’s Chrome browser will start labeling sites with non-HTTPS sites that transmit credit card information and password as ‘not secure’.

Currently, all HTTP connections on Chrome are delivered through a neutral indicator. This means that before you can access a website, someone has the ability to change it before it even opens up for you.

Chrome is currently the most used browser in the world with at least 54% market share in desktop and mobile combined.

FBI Will Soon Have The Tools To Legally Hack Anyone They Want

FBI can legally hack your PC, Laptop or Phone From December 1

When a malware is released to invade a system, even the smallest changes made to it can have huge impacts that are unpredictable in nature.

Considering this, the Justice Department is extending government hacking with a vast expansion in mind. Under these new rules, the FBI will have complete authority to use malware and hack anyone they want.

This new rule is now formally known as Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. It will allow the government to hack millions and millions of computers with a single warrant.

If it is not challenged, the law will go in effect on December 1.

Someone Is Exposing The Power Of DDoS On Large Companies

The DDoS hacker is undetectable

One of the easiest ways to take down an entire network off the internet is through using the distributed denial-of-service attack, most commonly known as the DDoS.

Like it’s name suggests, this attack was designed from keeping real users from getting to specific website.

Basically, with a DDoS attack, the culprit aims to put in so much data into a site that it stops working. Hackers have been performing these attacks regularly on many different websites.

Now someone is taking it a step further by taking large companies of the internet one by one. These attacks are similar in nature but undetectable.

FBI Director Urges Everyone To Cover Their Webcam

Cover your cam from hackers taking control of it

The FBI director on Wednesday defended the idea of putting tape over personal laptop’s webcam. He claims that this is a necessary security step and should be taken as a common sense by everyone one.

He also said that there is a reason why so many computer screen these days come with webcams that have a small lid on them.

Is The Future Of Cyber Crime Bleak?

If not taken care of, cyber crime will become extremely common.

According to National Crime Agency (NCA) Cybercrime Assessment 2016 report, nearly 53 percent of all crimes that were committed in 2015 were cyber crimes.

Mr. Cameron Brown, an independant cyber defence advisor had a say into this matter. He has been conducting different researches into the emerging trends of cyber crimes. He warns that opportunities to earn through the act of cyber crimes will rise especially in the income bands that are low.

If not controlled, cybercrime will be a source of income that is less risky and more yielding. This is an alarming state where the cybersecurity agencies should be focusing right now to prevent an outbreak later.

The Role Of Cyber Crime Dogs In Helping To Bust Child Predators & Terrorists

Cyber crime dogs are being trained to tackle criminals on the internet

There is a reason why dogs are used for catching criminals. Their nose is pretty much a god given wonder that can smell without limits. Now cybercrime divisions of different parts of the world are training dogs to bust child predators and terrorists.

The latest set of cybercrime dogs are now being trained to sniff out chemical compounds that are unique to electronic storage devices such as memory cards, flash drives, cellphones and laptops.

If trained properly they could help differentiate between the acquittal and conviction cases of sex trafficking, terrorism and child pornography.

This USB is now openly being sold by a Hong Kong based technology manufacturer by the name USB Kill 2.0. It is capable of shutting down any computer within seconds and is being retailed for $49.95.

Donald Trump Jr. Couldn’t Hold Back Trolling Hillary Clinton By Visiting Her Super Secure IT Provider

People were not exactly happy with IT company troll picture of Trump Jr.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz on Tuesday made a request to probe in the circumstances that have been recently surrounding the deletion of email archives of Hillary Clinton. He sent letters to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia and Platte River Networks, the company that is handling IT for Clinton.

An interview was recently conducted by the FBI and was released later. It seems that the staff at the IT company had an oops moment just days before the conference went live between the two parties.

Donald Trump Jr. took the opportunity to visit the IT company and took a photo for #millenialsfortrump ad.

Here’s How Google Is Stopping Aspiring ISIS Recruits

Google is using its tech incubator ‘Jigsaw’, which was recently renamed from Google Ideas to develop a new program that the company hopes can use a combination of search advertisement algorithms and YouTube platform to find and target aspiring ISIS recruits.

They will then dissuade them from joining the group.

A new phase of the program will be launched later this month that will place advertisements alongwith results for keywords and phrases that match search criteria of people who are attracted to ISIS.

The ads will be placed in both English and Arabic language on YouTube and other Google owned platforms.

Important Interview Tips For Security Analyst Job Seekers

Are you seeking a position as a Security Analyst in a company? You may have a lot of questions. This post aims to help you with the hardest part of getting the job; the interview.

First things first, the IT world is currently facing threats that are increasingly tough to deal with and the need of talent is on the rise. This means that most companies are now digging for candidates who are able to demonstrate top notch skills with critical thinking as the most important part of their skill set.

Start With Knowing More Than The Basics

The best way to impress your interviewer is to know more than just the basics. Since companies are demanding high end talent, they are probably looking for someone who can go beyond the basics. For example, if you can learn the inside outs of your field, such as current technology, its usage and implementation, you may be able to easily impress the interviewer.

If you are completely new to the field of cybersecurity and security analyst, it is imperative that you start reading some material on the world of IT security.

Have A Number Of Projects Ready Under Your Belt

Experts have said this time and time again. Cybersecurity is all about showing your practical skills. So make sure your resume has plenty of projects listed down. Whether you did something voluntarily or during your classroom lab adventures, you need to show your interviewers that you have been busy with practical stuff.

Be Clear and Concise

Communication is the number one thing when it comes to being a security analyst. You will be working alongside a team of other IT professionals where you will have to communicate a lot. You should naturally be a team player.

Show your interviewer how well you can do when you work with a good team. Show them examples of your previous projects you completed with a group of other people.

Last but not the least, have a mindset of an explorer and adventurer. You must keep learning on new stuff if you want to excel in the cyber security world. Keep in mind both the defensive and offensive technologies are evolving day after day and it is getting tougher and tougher to fight back cybercrime. Learn new technologies and list them down in your resume so your interviewers can know that you are willing to spend time learning new things.

Man Gets A New Trial In New Jersey Over Cyberbullying Case

Man suicides after roommate cyber bullied him constantly

A New Jersey appeals court has thrown out a conviction of a ex Rutgers University student who posted a video of his roommate kissing another man, causing him to commit suicide.

After being constantly bullied, Clementi, 18, decided to commit suicide. He jumped off George Washington Bridge a week later from the incident and instantly died from his injuries. The death of the student started a national debate over cyber bullying.

Pirates are winning again by cracking anti piracy systems

The ongoing battle against piracy is once again in trouble. The all mighty Denuvo DRM system has once again been cracked.

Previously, CPY was also responsible for cracking tripple A title Rise of Tomb Raider which was also using Denuvo anti crack measures.

CPY has proven that even Denuvo cannot protect digital IPs any more. Game developers are spending thousands of dollars to sign contract with a system that is now losing its foothold quickly.

Your Email Could Be Carrying A New Kind Of Potentially Dangerous Virus

Midco warns of a potential ransomware virus

Midco has just warned its users that a new virus is circling around in emails that could be potentially dangerous for their computers.

The statement released by the company read that people with @midco.net email addresses may contain a ransomware trojan virus that is currently not being detectable by most anti virus software.

The users are urged to detect the virus themselves by looking at the subject line of the email. If the subject line reads anything like ”Vigor2820”, they are urged to not open the email and immediately delete it.

This malware gets the users to decrypt their files and then takes over the computer.

Rapid7, the firm behind the Metasploit penetration testing tool is now warning that vulnerabilities in the systems that are used to manage network elements such as printers, routers and servers give the hackers a treasure map like value. From there on, the hackers are able to find enterprise targets easily. For example, a printer attached on this network may be printing payroll slips will easily reveal the information of employees.

The new research done by the company explores how the attacks are being taken out.

Reports of cyber crimes have become a very common thing these days. Around a billion dollars, if not trillion, are reportedly swept off yearly through cyber crimes.

Figures this large has become a very important and scary deal for businesses and governments. But still there has been no real action taken against the problem. It seems the government and other agencies that deal with cybercrime are too frightened to confront the real problem that is intractable and beyond what they can do about it.

This is mostly due to the unability to capture and maintain accurate data. Cybercrimes are hard to trace and that is causing the problem.
