Last weekend, my daughter and I finally got around to watching Wonder Woman. We quite enjoyed it. There was a part in which Chris Pine’s character said, “My father told me once, he said, "If you see something wrong happening in the world, you can either do nothing, or you can do something". And I already tried nothing."
So, I turned to my daughter and asked, "When you're older will you say awesome quotes and attribute them to your dad so I'll appear all knowing and wise?"
She replied, "Yeah, I'll say 'my father told me if you see something wrong you can either do nothing, or send memes'".
Not sure if that means I’ve succeeded as a Dad or failed miserably. Hopefully she’ll come across one of these posts in the future and realise there was more to me than just memes.
Operation Bayonet
This article gives a fascinating insight into how law enforcement infiltrated and took down a drug market.
As reports of these kinds of operations become available, Hollywood should really be looking to these for inspiration. Far better plots than most fiction!

How many devices are misconfigured… or not configured?
I saw this blog that Anton Chuvakin posted over at Gartner stating that there’s a lot of security technology which is deployed yet misconfigured, not configured optimally, set to default, or deployed broken in other ways.
Broadly speaking, I agree, in the race to get things done, assurance often takes a back seat. But there’s no obvious answer. Testing takes time and expertise. Unless it’s automated. But even then someone needs to look at the results and get things fixed. DevSecOps maybe?

Hacking encrypted phones
Encrypted phone company Ciphr claims it was hacked by a rival company. A preview into how vicious digital rivals can get. And regardless of who is to blame, the fact remains that the real victims here are the users.

Hidden Cobra on Turkish Banks
Bankshot implants are distributed from a domain with a name similar to that of the cryptocurrency-lending platform Falcon Coin, but the similarly named domain is not associated with the legitimate entity. The malicious domain falcancoin.io was created December 27, 2017, and was updated on February 19, only a few days before the implants began to appear. These implants are variations of earlier forms of Bankshot, a remote access tool that gives an attacker full capability on a victim’s system. This implant also contains functionality to wipe files and content from the targeted system to erase evidence or perform other destructive actions. Bankshot was first reported by the Department of Homeland Security on December 13, 2017, and has only recently resurfaced in newly compiled variants. The sample we analyzed is 99% similar to the documented Bankshot variants from 2017.
