Today the situation remains the same, but with an extra special ingredient – while threats used to be Windows .exe […]

4 basic security facts everyone should know

Today, almost all hacking is done by professional criminals. In many countries, illegal hacking accounts for more crime, dollar-wise, than noncomputer crime.

I’ve always thought that improved computer security controls would “fix” the internet and stop persistent criminality — turns out it might be big data analytics instead.

If everyone on the internet had a default, […]

How to delete your smartphone data securely before selling your device

Some people change their smartphone or tablet almost as casually as they change their clothes. They buy and later sell mobile devices without the slightest concern about the information that, one device after another, they keep putting in the hands of total strangers. This article is aimed at all those people, and in it you will be […]

Network ELOFANTS and other insider threat insights from the DBIR and beyond

If you’re concerned about the security of your organization’s data you should be looking out for elofants on your network. I’ve seen them myself and, if your organization’s network is statistically average, then it is statistically likely to be harboring at least one ELOFANT, otherwise known as: Employee Left Or Fired, Access Not Terminated.

Zero-days aren’t the problem — patches are

There’s a widely held view that our world is full of uber hackers who are too brilliant to stop. Thus, we should fear zero-day attacks because they’re our biggest problem. Nothing could be further from the truth. Most hackers follow the path created by a very few smart ones — and zero days make up […]

65 million Tumblr users should probably be careful…

Earlier this month, Tumblr revealed that it had recently become aware that user addresses and salted and hashed passwords dating back to 2013 had fallen into the hands of hackers. We recently learned that a third party had obtained access to a set of Tumblr user email addresses with salted and hashed passwords from early […]

What the CISSP? 20 years as a Certified Information Systems Security Professional

CISSP stands for Certified Information Systems Security Professional, a qualification that I obtained on this day in 1996. Back then, very few people had heard of CISSP or the organization that created it, the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium. This non-profit professional body is known as (ISC)2 which is pronounced “I-S-C-squared” (because the name […]

Decision makers at banks ‘in the dark’ about data breaches

Decision makers at banks are in the dark when it comes to data breaches at their organization, according to KPMG’s 2016 Banking Outlook Survey. It revealed that this is especially the case when it comes to the second tier of senior management. For example, while 12% of CEOs were unaware as to whether their networks […]

5 steps to stronger data security

Nearly everything we do in computer security is meant to protect data. After all, we don’t deploy antimalware software, tighten security configurations, or implement firewalls to protect users, per se. Job No. 1 is to protect the organization’s data — including employee and (especially) customer data. But guess what? People need to work with that […]

117 million LinkedIn members compromised by 2012 data breach

Over 117 million emails and passwords belonging to LinkedIn members have been put online for sale, it has been revealed. Worryingly, this trove of information is not thought to have been obtained from a recent data breach. In fact, it is believed that the data was accessed in 2012, when the professional social network was […]

But the threat seen by ESET researchers over the […]

Android apps ‘need to follow better security practice’

Many Android apps in Google Play are still not following best practice when it comes to authentication and authorization. Writing on its Android Developers Blog, Isabella Chen, a software engineer at Google, said that this can leave apps “vulnerable to attack”. It is important that developers make their applications as secure as possible, so that […]

Defend yourself! Build a cyber security database

Data is king — for attackers as well as defenders. Malicious hackers have long collected and used data in a systematic manner. For example, they investigate all the public-facing servers of a particular target company, as well as document their IP addresses, services, software versions, and back-end relationships. They collect as much publicly accessible information […]

Privacy and security fears – predictably – impact US online commerce

Security professionals gave a large collective sigh of sadness this past weekend when BoingBoing published this headline by Cory Doctorow: “Half of Americans reluctant to shop online due to privacy & security fears.” Sarcastic remarks like “No kidding” and “You don’t say” floated through the infosec ether. Why? Because anyone who has studied information security […]

TalkTalk profits halve following last year’s major cyberattack

The UK-based telecommunications company TalkTalk has seen its profits more than halve, following last year’s “significant and sustained cyberattack”.

The cost of the cyberattack, which was […]

The perimeter is everywhere (so where is your data really?)
Companies fear data breaches caused by compromised credentials
Insider threats: A persistent and widespread problem

When it comes to cybercrime, a lot of the focus is centered on external threats and on the individuals who actively attempt to cause harm and damage, whether by infecting a computer system with malware or through the encryption of files for reasons of extortion. This attention understandable. Threats posed by cybercriminals to organizations is great, so […]

The dark side of biometric identification

As I read about the Kuwaiti government’s plan to test and log the DNA of everyone in that country, I was reminded of what a bad idea such schemes are. It’s great for law enforcement, I guess, but it’s terrible for personal privacy and overall security. What do I mean that it’s bad for security? […]

Hands-on: Go (almost) anonymous on the Internet with Anonabox

Nothing on the Internet is perfectly anonymous. Despite what many people may tell you, the complexities of hardware and software systems make true anonymity almost impossible, particularly when the right people decide to expend the effort to find you. That said, there are reasonable (and even unreasonable) steps you can take to remain anonymous to […]
