21st Century Learning and Teaching

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.

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.

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.

VeraCrypt ist ein neues Verschlüsselungsprogramm, das besser und sicherer sein will, als TrueCrypt.


VeraCrypt
Mit VeraCrypt betritt eine neue Verschlüsselungs-Software den Markt, die verspricht vollkommen sicher zu sein. Sie setzt zwar auf dem laut den eigenen Machern unsicheren TrueCrypt auf, wurde aber an den entscheidenden Stellen verbessert und soll immun gegen Brute-Force-Attacken sein. Verschlüsseln Sie Ihre Daten um gegen Schnüffeleien seitens Regierungen, Privatpersonen oder Konzernen gewappnet zu sein.
