Off the paths it is almost impossible to find anything – unless you know what you’re looking for – so it feels a bit like a treasure hunt. Because really the only way to find anything in this vast forest is to be told where to look. This is how the dark web works – and it is essentially the name given to all the hidden places on the internet.

Just like the forest, the dark web hides things well – it hides actions and it hides identities. The dark web also prevents people from knowing who you are, what you are doing and where you are doing it. It is not surprising, then, that the dark web is often used for illegal activity and that it is hard to police.

Gust MEES's insight:

E-mail spoofing is the forgery of an e-mail header so that the message appears to have originated from someone or somewhere other than the actual source. Distributors of spam often use spoofing in an attempt to get recipients to open, and possibly even respond to, their solicitations. Spoofing can be used legitimately. Classic examples of senders who might prefer to disguise the source of the e-mail include a sender reporting mistreatment by a spouse to a welfare agency or a "whistle-blower" who fears retaliation. However, spoofing anyone other than yourself is illegal in some jurisdictions.

Ransomware has hit the news in a big way lately. Is this malware just another hot-button topic that everybody will forget about as soon as a new big threat emerges? Unfortunately, that’s unlikely: Ransomware infections are reaching pandemic rates, and this type of malware is not going to vanish any time soon. We are not trying to scare you — well, we are, but not for kicks. Have a look at the statistics gathered by Kaspersky Security Network and you’ll see — we are facing a really dangerous threat.

DAOs, Hacks and the Law
“The DAO” is in the midst of an epic hack due to an exploit on the originating smart contracts. Unfortunately it may seem that their own choice of legal infrastructures may force them to honor the exploit instead of the intent.
Smart contracts meet the law
While the specifics vary from land to land, the law has a broad set of parameters that are uniform. They govern the agreements made between humans and the rules which bind them.
Curiously, the DAO, in order to show it’s adherence to a certain form of “smart” contract stated that it would be fully and exclusively bound by these blockchain smart contracts.

Deutsche PC-Nutzer sind ein beliebtes Ziel von Botnetz-Betreibern. Haben Sie wirklich noch die Kontrolle über Ihren PC?

Botnetze werden oft über zentrale Kommando-Server, auch als Mutterschiffe bezeichnet, gesteuert. Die infizierten Rechner, Zombies genannt, halten Kontakt mit einem der Mutterschiffe oder untereinander. Sie geben ausgespähte Daten wie etwa Passwörter für Online-Spiele und Banken-Websites, aber auch gesammelte Mail-Adressen oder Kreditkartendaten weiter. Sie erhalten vom Mutterschiff, teils über zwischen geschaltete Relay-Rechner (Repeater), Instruktionen, etwa Adressen und Inhalte von zu versendenden Spam-Mails.

Europol a annoncé vendredi matin avoir mené une action coordonnée sur le continent européen. Les suspects sont essentiellement des "débutants".

"Quelques dizaines d'euros" pour un kit

Les suspects utilisaient des codes malicieux prêts à l'emploi "pour commettre différents types de délits, dont le vol de données personnelles, des attaques en déni de service et des extorsions", précise le colonel Freyssinet. "Souvent, ces kits (de piratage, NDLR) sont achetés pour quelques dizaines d'euros" sur Internet, explique-t-il. "L'usage de ces RAT (Remote Administration Tools, outils de prise de contrôle à distance, NDLR) va de l'immixtion dans la vie privée en allumant la webcam ou en fouillant les documents personnels, par exemple, à du détournement de données bancaires en s'attaquant au compte PayPal ou au numéro de carte bancaire", ajoute Éric Freyssinet.

Stephane Manhes's curator insight, November 21, 2014 7:34 AM

Pilotée par la France et la Roumanie, l'action des dernières semaines a été coordonnée par le Centre européen de lutte contre la cybercriminalité d'Europol (EC3), de plus en plus actif. Cinq autres pays du continent européen ont été impliqués : la Lettonie, l'Estonie, le Royaume-Uni, la Norvège (qui n'est pas membre de l'UE mais dispose d'un accord de coopération avec Europol) et l'Italie.

Early Friday morning the world experienced the year’s latest cyberattack. Starting first in the United Kingdom and Spain, the malicious “WannaCrypt” software quickly spread globally, blocking customers from their data unless they paid a ransom using Bitcoin. The WannaCrypt exploits used in the attack were drawn from the exploits stolen from the National Security Agency, or NSA, in the United States. That theft was publicly reported earlier this year.

Gust MEES's insight:

There was a time when the only device you had connected to your network was a PC. Then laptops with a wireless connection came along -- then after that, smartphones and tablets.

But the connected revolution hasn't ended there. Gartner estimates that currently 5.5 million new 'things' -- devices from toasters and kettles to cars and hospital equipment -- are being connected to the internet every single day, and they will total 6.4 billion by the end of the year.

That figure is up from 3.8 billion in 2014, and 5 billion in 2015 and is expected to rise to over 20 billion Internet of Things (IoT) devices being connected to the web in 2020.

Gust MEES's insight:

There are different aspects to cyber security and cyber-attacks. But all current security approaches tend to make use of the same technology, making it difficult to judge who is attacking what and why. Within this context, it should be examined what cyber security can offer at another level, contributing and protecting the EU citizens. Cyber security is the EU’s ‘digital frontier.”

Helmbrecht said that the security of network and information systems is essential to the security of all the critical sectors in society, noting that disruptions to these infrastructures and services are becoming more frequent and are estimated to result in annual losses in the range of €260- €340 billion Euros ($416-$544 billion dollars).

“Various recent studies, including those of ENISA, demonstrate that the threat landscape will get worse, unless we take firm action,” Helmbrecht said.

Tor (anonymity network) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tor directs Internet traffic through a free, worldwide, volunteer network consisting of more than five thousand relays to conceal a user's location and usage from anyone conducting network surveillance or traffic analysis. Using Tor makes it more difficult for Internet activity to be traced back to the user: this includes "visits to Web sites, online posts, instant messages, and other communication forms".
