2019-02-25 14:00:00 | Why Cybersecurity Experts Are Being Recruited Left and Right (lien direct) |
Once upon a time, businesses needed to take light cybersecurity precautions to ward off amateur hackers. A business owner may have recruited their tech-savvy nephew to protect their system, barely worrying about the risk. Today, the world of cybersecurity has done a 180 — it’s now a top concern for businesses. As businesses swiftly adapt to the changing digital environment, new technology means more cybersecurity concerns.
Businesses are now using new tech for an assortment of needs, from the recruitment process to audience discovery and beyond. On top of that, as consumers continue to shop online and use the internet to store all sorts of personal information, hackers have only grown in their knowledge and resourcefulness to create clever, threatening ways to attack businesses. And for good reason: Uncovering financial and health information is worth a lot of money for hackers.
The Demand for Cybersecurity Specialists
Cybersecurity professionals are in incredibly high demand right now. Experts predict that by the year 2021, as many as 3.5 million cybersecurity positions will be unfilled. That means a lot of businesses will be exposed to potentially ruinous risk.
The internet of things (IoT) has created more opportunities for employees and consumers to stay connected through an assortment of tools, from smartphones to smart home appliances. Every time another device connects to the internet, another security risk opens up. When valuable personal information is transmitted, those devices and connections become gold mines for hackers.
Additionally, any business that has some type of online presence, whether it’s a customer-facing retail store or employees who use an internal, internet-connected system, needs cybersecurity services. Certain industries have even more of a pressing need than others:
Finance
Government agencies
Media
Retail
Tech companies
These industries deal in high levels of personal information that, if a hacker accessed it, would be detrimental to the business as well as its customers.
How Do Cybersecurity Experts Protect Businesses?
In 2014, Sony Pictures was the target of a major cybersecurity attack. According to Michael Lynton, chief executive, “There's no playbook for this, so you are, in essence, trying to look at the situation as it unfolds and make decisions without being able to refer to a lot of experiences you've had in the past or other people's experiences. You're on completely new ground.”
This is a common sentiment, but it may be unfounded. Even five years ago, cybersecurity pros noted that Sony should have, and could have, been better prepared.

2019-02-08 10:08:18 | How Bezo\'s dick pics might\'ve been exposed (lien direct) | In the news, the National Enquirer has extorted Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos by threatening to publish the sext-messages/dick-pics he sent to his mistress. How did the National Enquirer get them? There are rumors that maybe Trump's government agents or the "deep state" were involved in this sordid mess. The more likely explanation is that it was a simple hack. Teenage hackers regularly do such hacks -- they aren't hard.This post is a description of how such hacks might've been done.To start with, from which end were they stolen? As a billionaire, I'm guessing Bezos himself has pretty good security, so I'm going to assume it was the recipient, his girlfriend, who was hacked.The hack starts by finding the email address she uses. People use the same email address for both public and private purposes. There are lots of "people finder" services on the Internet that you can use to track this information down. These services are partly scams, using "dark patterns" to get you to spend tons of money on them without realizing it, so be careful.Using one of these sites, I quickly found a couple of a email accounts she's used, one at HotMail, another at GMail. I've blocked out her address. I want to describe how easy the process is, I'm not trying to doxx her. Next, I enter those email addresses into the website http://haveibeenpwned.com to see if hackers have ever stolen her account password. When hackers break into websites, they steal the account passwords, and then exchange them on the dark web with other hackers. The above website tracks this, helping you discover if one of your accounts has been so compromised. You should take this opportunity to enter your email address in this site to see if it's been so "pwned".I find that her email addresses have been included in that recent dump of 770 million accounts called "Collection#1". The http://haveibeenpwned.com won't disclose the passwords, only the fact they've been pwned. However, I have a copy of that huge Collection#1 dump, so I can search it myself to get her password. As this output shows, I get a few hits, all with the same password. At this point, I have a password, but not necessarily the password to access any useful accounts. For all I know, this was the |

Hello February! I was doing some research last night and was surprised to discover that the Target breach is over five years old! Five years! I was sure it only happened a couple of years ago - but such is the fast-paced nature of the industry, and also I guess a testament to how certain major breaches become part of infosec folklore. Like TJX, or Heartland - and no, I’m not going to look up when any of those occurred because I’ll probably end up feeling a lot older than I already do.
Enough reminiscing - let’s get down to it.

2019-01-28 22:21:56 | Passwords in a file (lien direct) | My dad is on some sort of committee for his local home owners association. He asked about saving all the passwords in a file stored on Microsoft's cloud OneDrive, along with policy/procedures for the association. I assumed he called because I'm an internationally recognized cyberexpert. Or maybe he just wanted to chat with me*. Anyway, I thought I'd write up a response.The most important rule of cybersecurity is that it depends upon the risks/costs. That means if what you want to do is write down the procedures for operating a garden pump, including the passwords, then that's fine. This is because there's not much danger of hackers exploiting this. On the other hand, if the question is passwords for the association's bank account, then DON'T DO THIS. Such passwords should never be online. Instead, write them down and store the pieces of paper in a secure place.OneDrive is secure, as much as anything is. The problem is that people aren't secure. There's probably one member of the home owner's association who is constantly infecting themselves with viruses or falling victim to scams. This is the person who you are giving OneDrive access to. This is fine for the meaningless passwords, but very much not fine for bank accounts.OneDrive also has some useful backup features. Thus, when one of your members infects themselves with ransomware, which will encrypt all the OneDrive's contents, you can retrieve the old versions of the documents. I highly recommend groups like the home owner's association use OneDrive. I use it as part of my Office 365 subscription for $99/year.Just don't do this for banking passwords. In fact, not only should you not store such a password online, you should strongly consider getting "two factor authentication" setup for the account. This is a system where you need an additional hardware device/token in addition to a password (in some cases, your phone can be used as the additional device). This may not work if multiple people need to access a common account, but then, you should have multiple passwords, for each individual, in such cases. Your bank should have descriptions of how to set this up. If your bank doesn't offer two factor authentication for its websites, then you really need to switch banks.For individuals, write your passwords down on paper. For elderly parents, write down a copy and give it to your kids. It should go without saying: store that paper in a safe place, ideally a safe, not a post-it note glued to your monitor. Again, this is for your important passwords, like for bank accounts and e-mail. For your Spotify or Pandora accounts (music services), then security really doesn't matter.Lastly, the way hackers most often break into things like bank accounts is because people use the same password everywhere. When one site gets hacked, those passwords are then used to hack accounts on other websites. Thus, for important accounts, don't reuse passwords, make them unique for just that account. Since you can't remember unique passwords for every account, write them down.You can check if your password has been hacked this way by checking http://haveibeenpwned.com and entering your email address. Entering my dad's email address, I find that his accounts at Adobe, LinkedIn, and Disqus has been discovered by hackers (due to hacks of those websites) and published. I sure hope whatever these passwords were that they are not the same or similar to his passwords for GMail or his bank account. * the lame joke at the top was my dad's, so don't blame me :-) |

2019-01-24 14:00:00 | The Changing Face Of Cybersecurity In The 21st Century (lien direct) |
67% of small and micro businesses have experienced a cyber attack, while 58% have experienced a data breach within the last 12 months, according to a study conducted by the Ponemon Institute. Cybersecurity has become one of the major questions that plague the 21st century, with numerous businesses reporting significant losses resulting from loss of private customer data, denial of service (DoS) attacks that cripple operations and internal employee threats that pose a growing data security challenge for both small and large companies. When you consider the effects of the cyber attack in Alaska and the astounding number of businesses it crippled, it's clear that businesses owners need to understand the threats they face today.
The Question of Cybersecurity
A few decades ago, the thought of cyber warfare would have seemed far-fetched to say the least. But today, it has become as likely as it is terrifying, especially when you consider how many of our gadgets are connected to the internet - mobile phones, smart TVs, PCs, and IoT devices. The technical advancements in data-hacking have led to the parallel development of data-protection. While downloading an antivirus software may previously have been sufficient protection, this is now only a preliminary measure, and must be coupled with stronger controls like 2-factor authentication, access control, and raising threat awareness. The cyber-security industry grows steadily each day, and it is now possible to find adequate protection for all your gadgets: from your phone to your tablet and yes, even your new television set.
Artificial Intelligence Shaping Cybersecurity
If you have a basic interest in the tech world, you will have undoubtedly come across Sophia. Sophia is a humanoid robot and may be termed by many as the perfect illustration of how far AI has come. It is for this reason that AI is leading the cybersecurity field. This is through the application of the concept of synthesizing data. Basically, what this means is that two independent chunks of information can be combined to arrive at a single conclusion. In layman's terms, AI is expected to improve cybersecurity by speeding up incident response when malicious activity is detected, thwarting ransomware and automating practices. This way, companies will be able to remain a step ahead of potential cyber threats.
The Future of Cybersecurity Innovation
Conventionally, data transfer has been achieved through electrical signals. However, this may change if we enter the era of data exchange through light signals. This works through the use of photons as carriers of quantum information in cyberspace. Photons are light particles which are generated simultaneously in pairs. With timing controls, this would mean that data transfer would only be possible if twin-photon particles existed for the sender and recipient. Ultimately, the only way to hack the data would be to upend the laws of physics. More innovations like deep learning, cloud technology, and hardware will revolutionalize the future of cybersecurity, making it easier for companies to prevent cyber attacks.
The field of cybersecurity is shifting and improving daily to match the changing needs of today’s cyberspace. It is essential that everyone, including businesses, become familiar with the means with which to protect their data. Understanding the changing face of cybersecurity is a key step to achieving that goal.
