Destroying your hard drive is the only way to stop this super-advanced malware

Destroying your hard drive is the only way to stop this super-advanced malware | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

The Equation Group's attack on hard-drive firmware is one of the most advanced ever discovered, Kaspersky Lab said.


A cyberespionage group with a toolset similar to ones used by U.S. intelligence agencies has infiltrated key institutions in countries including Iran and Russia, utilizing a startlingly advanced form of malware that is impossible to remove once it's infected your PC.

Kaspersky Lab released a report Monday that said the tools were created by the “Equation” group, which it stopped short of linking to the U.S. National Security Agency

.

The tools, exploits and malware used by the group—named after its penchant for encryption—have strong similarities with NSA techniques described in top-secret documents leaked in 2013.

Canadian Government Continues to Expand State Powers While Leaving Privacy by the Wayside | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Jeder Fünfte wird Opfer von Cyber-Spionage | CyberSecurity | Phishing | eSkills | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it

Gezielte, gut getarnte Phishing-Attacken sind große Gefahr für Unternehmen.


Der Security-Software-Hersteller ESET rät Unternehmen zu einer verstärkten Sensibilisierung für Phishing-Attacken und damit einhergehend zu einer besseren IT-Weiterbildung. Nur so können die eigenen Mitarbeiter vor gezielten und gut getarnten Angriffen geschützt werden. Denn Attacken dieser Art sind mittlerweile geschickt auf ihre Zielgruppen zugeschnitten und nur mit großer Sorgfalt und Verständnis erkennbar.


Anlass für den Ratschlag ist das Ergebnis eines Tests, den das Center of Excellence for Research, Innovation, Education and Industrial Labs Partnership (CEFRIEL) im Auftrag von 15 internationalen Unternehmen kürzlich durchführte. Die Einrichtung prüfte die Anfälligkeit von Mitarbeitern für speziell auf Unternehmen gemünzte Betrugsversuche, so genannte „Spear-Phishing“-Attacken. Das Ergebnis: Jeder Fünfte ging den Testern ins Netz.

Canada Joins World Powers in Spying on Smartphone and Download Data

Canada Joins World Powers in Spying on Smartphone and Download Data | 21st Century Learning and Teaching | Scoop.it
In North America, the Canadians have long had to play country mouse to the flashier city mouse of the U.S. It's the latter that gets all the attention, while the former sits quietly in a corner. But recent stories have shown just how big a player the Canadians are becoming---at least in the surveillance realm.

Le vidéo vaut la peine. Nous allons entrer dans la histoire comme la génération qui a inventé internet. Mais selon le spécialiste, nous avons créé un monstre.
