Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) 2017
Phishing remains a significant threat according to the 2017 Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report. The report found that 28% of phishing attacks are targeted at specific individuals or groups, 66% of malware is installed via malicious email attachments, and 43% of security breaches involve social tactics like phishing. Phishing also played a role in 75% of ransomware attacks and 90% of social tactics used in breaches. The document recommends that businesses test their employees' ability to identify phishing attempts using available software tools.

Websense 2013 Threat Report
1. The number of malicious web links grew by almost 600% worldwide according to data from Websense Security Labs.
2. 85% of malicious web links were found on legitimate web hosts that had been compromised, indicating websites can no longer be trusted based on their reputation.
3. Traditional anti-virus and firewall defenses are no longer sufficient to prevent web-borne threats, as the web serves both as an attack vector and in supporting other attack vectors like social media, mobile, and email. Advanced defenses that can identify compromised legitimate sites in real-time are needed.

2013 Threat Report
Cyberthreats broke new ground with mobile devices, while reaching deeper into social media. Online criminals also stepped up attacks via email, web and other traditional vectors.
Mobile Threats, Made to Measure
The document analyzes mobile threat trends from 2013 based on data from over 50 million mobile users. It finds that mobile threats became increasingly targeted by region in 2013 as criminals adapted techniques to maximize profits. In stringent regulation regions, attacks shifted to "grey area" tactics like deceptive in-app billing. Overall, adware was most prevalent globally while malware rates varied greatly by region, from 4% in the US to 63% in Russia. Chargeware, like pornographic apps with hidden fees, also varied by country. Risky user behaviors like rooting a phone correlated with higher likelihood of encountering threats.

118 Hacker-Powered Facts From The 2018 Hacker-Powered Security Report
Another year, another Hacker-Powered Security Report! We pulled out 100 of the report’s top facts—and then added 18 more, since it’s 2018. See below for a better understanding of how hacker-powered security is disrupting (in a good way) how organizations approach security. More security teams are adding VDPs, more are supplementing their skills and bandwidth with hackers, and more are augmenting their standard pen tests with hacker challenges.
In 2018, the HackerOne community and those using our platform have combined to crush every metric that we track. Organizations awarded more than $11 million in bounties. Hackers submitted more than 78,000 reports. Bounties were awarded to hackers in over 100 countries.
Unfortunately, the only metric that hasn’t changed much is the percentage of Forbes Global 2000 companies without vulnerability disclosure policies.

Vodqa why cybersecurity
This document discusses several major cybersecurity breaches in recent years that compromised personal information for hundreds of millions of users. It notes breaches at Yahoo (3 billion accounts), Adult Friend Finder (412 million users), eBay (145 million users), Target (110 million users), Sony PlayStation Network (77 million accounts), and Uber (57 million users). The document also discusses the significant costs and consequences of these breaches for the companies involved, as well as the growing global shortage of cybersecurity professionals needed to help prevent future attacks.
Cybersec
This document discusses cyber security and crimes, including defining cyber security, the types of cyber crimes, global attack trends, related terminology, statistics on cybercrime incidents in 2009, how to overcome cybercrimes, and a conclusion.
Persistence is Key: Advanced Persistent Threats
This document discusses advanced persistent threats (APTs). APTs are sophisticated cyber attacks that are carried out over an extended period to steal information. They use various techniques to evade detection, like polymorphic shellcode and packet splitting. APTs typically start with reconnaissance, then spear phishing to gain initial access. Attackers establish backdoors, install utilities like keyloggers, and move laterally within the network to exfiltrate data. Nation-states are often behind APTs to gain intelligence or competitive advantages. Organizations should monitor for unusual logins or anomalies to detect signs of an APT attack.

A Secure Network Bridging the Gap
Attackers continue to exploit known vulnerabilities to circumvent expensive security solutions, highlighting a gap in network security. Phishing remains the primary threat vector due to its effectiveness, and ransomware attacks have impacted hospitals and universities. A new self-replicating ransomware called WannaCry has caused global disruptions. To properly secure networks, organizations need to adopt a zero trust architecture, integrate security into all applications and devices, and automate threat detection and response across the entire network.
What is ransomware
Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts a victim's files and demands ransom payment in order to decrypt the files. The WannaCry attack in 2017 impacted over 300,000 systems in 150 countries through ransomware. While ransomware uses strong encryption, paying the ransom is not recommended as there is no guarantee files will be recovered. It is best to backup files and keep systems updated with the latest security patches to protect against ransomware infections.

Ransomware (1).pdf
The document discusses the history and evolution of ransomware attacks from 1989 to the present. It provides details on notable ransomware attacks like WannaCry in 2017 and NotPetya in 2017. WannaCry spread to over 150 countries and encrypted data on hundreds of thousands of computers, demanding ransom payments in bitcoin. It exploited a Windows vulnerability. NotPetya similarly spread rapidly through Ukraine and globally, affecting a major shipping company and causing over $10 billion in damages by encrypting and wiping data. The document outlines the modus operandi and impacts of these attacks as well as measures to prevent future ransomware infections like patching systems, isolating infected devices, and implementing security best practices.

Cyber attacks and countermeasures
The exponential growth of the Internet interconnections has led to a significant growth
of cyber attack incidents often with disastrous and grievous consequences. Malware is the
primary choice of weapon to carry out malicious intents in the cyberspace, either by ex-
ploitation into existing vulnerabilities or utilization of unique characteristics of emerging
technologies. The development of more innovative and effective malware defense mech-
anisms has been regarded as an urgent requirement in the cybersecurity community. To
assist in achieving this goal, we first present an overview of the most exploited vulner-
abilities in existing hardware, software, and network layers. This is followed by critiques
of existing state-of-the-art mitigation techniques as why they do or don’t work. We then
discuss new attack patterns in emerging technologies such as social media, cloud comput-
ing, smartphone technology, and critical infrastructure. Finally, we describe our speculative
observations on future research directions.

1. Introduction
Our society, economy, and critical infrastructures have become largely dependent on computer networks and information
technology solutions. Cyber attacks become more attractive and potentially more disastrous as our dependence on informa-
tion technology increases. According to the Symantec cybercrime report published in April 2012 [17], cyber attacks cost
US$114 billion each year. If the time lost by companies trying to recover from cyber attacks is counted, the total cost of
cyber attacks would reach staggering US$385 billion [17]. Victims of cyber attacks are also significantly growing. Based on
the survey conducted by Symantec which involved interviewing 20,000 people across 24 countries, 69% reported being the
victim of a cyber attack in their lifetime. Symantec calculated that 14 adults become the victim of a cyber attack every
second, or more than one million attacks every day [105].
Why cyber attacks flourish? It is because cyber attacks are cheaper, convenient and less risky than physical attacks [1].
Cyber criminals only require a few expenses beyond a computer and an Internet connection. They are unconstrained by
geography and distance. They are difficult to identity and prosecute due to anonymous nature of the Internet. Given that

primary choice of weapon to carry out malicious intents in the cyberspace, either by ex-
ploitation into existing vulnerabilities or utilization of unique characteristics of emerging
technologies. The development of more innovative and effective malware defense mech-
anisms has been regarded as an urgent requirement in the cybersecurity community. To
assist in achieving this goal, we first present an overview of the most exploited vulner-
abilities in existing hardware, software, and network layers. This is followed by critiques
of existing state-of-the-art mitigation techniques as why they do or don’t work. We then
discuss new attack patterns in emerging technologies such as social media, cloud comput-
ing, smartphone technology, and critical infrastructure. Finally, we describe our speculative
observations on future research directions.

1. Introduction
Our society, economy, and critical infrastructures have become largely dependent on computer networks and information
technology solutions. Cyber attacks become more attractive and potentially more disastrous as our dependence on informa-
tion technology increases. According to the Symantec cybercrime report published in April 2012 [17], cyber attacks cost
US$114 billion each year. If the time lost by companies trying to recover from cyber attacks is counted, the total cost of
cyber attacks would reach staggering US$385 billion [17]. Victims of cyber attacks are also significantly growing. Based on
the survey conducted by Symantec which involved interviewing 20,000 people across 24 countries, 69% reported being the
victim of a cyber attack in their lifetime. Symantec calculated that 14 adults become the victim of a cyber attack every
second, or more than one million attacks every day [105].
Why cyber attacks flourish? It is because cyber attacks are cheaper, convenient and less risky than physical attacks [1].
Cyber criminals only require a few expenses beyond a computer and an Internet connection. They are unconstrained by
geography and distance. They are difficult to identity and prosecute due to anonymous nature of the Internet. Given that

Exploring the Capabilities and Economics of Cybercrime
In this talk we will look at the current attacker community as well as the tactics and capabilities that are currently being leveraged against targets across the globe. We will then go into the financial mechanics behind both financial based cybercrime as well as nationstate espionage. We will touch on some of the scary capabilities of attackers and try to work thru the reason why we still aren’t seeing the broad scale destructive attacks that everyone has been predicting for years.

Cyber Malware Programs And The Internet
Malware programs have increased with greater internet usage, infecting systems and threatening security. There are various types of malware like viruses, trojans, worms, spyware and adware that infect systems through emails, downloads and other methods. While technologies like firewalls, antivirus software and encryption help secure systems and networks, the growing sophistication of malware poses ongoing challenges to internet security. Teaching users about malware types and prevention methods is important for protecting systems and information.
APT in the Financial Sector
This presentation was delivered at the HTCIA Conference by Ondrej Krehel of LIFARS, LLC.
It takes a look at the increasingly more problematic issue of cyberespionage, especially in the financial sector.
Cyber threats landscape and defense
This document summarizes Andrea Minigozzi's presentation on cyber threats landscape and defense. It discusses the evolution of threats from early computer viruses to modern advanced persistent threats. Various threat vectors are examined, including malware, social engineering, and zero-day exploits. Common attack methods like watering hole attacks and the Heartbleed bug are explained. Defensive strategies are proposed, such as previewing shortened URLs and avoiding malicious QR codes. The presentation aims to increase understanding of modern cybersecurity challenges and threats.
Countermeasures To Ransomware Threats
This document discusses countermeasures to ransomware threats. It begins by defining malware and ransomware, noting that ransomware encrypts users' files or locks their devices until ransom is paid. There are two main types: crypto ransomware which encrypts files, and locker ransomware which locks devices. The document then examines how ransomware infects systems, including through malicious advertisements, spam emails, downloaders/botnets, and self-propagation. It also discusses the risks ransomware poses to personal computers, mobile devices, servers, and organizations. The document concludes by emphasizing the importance of backups and security practices to prevent ransomware infections.

The document concludes by recommending best practices for protecting digital assets such as using antivirus software, firewalls, and keeping systems updated with the latest patches.
THE SIGNIFICANCE OF CYBERSECURITY
The document discusses the significance of cybersecurity. It begins with definitions of cybersecurity and provides a brief history, noting the first "computer virus" called Creeper. It then outlines key elements of cybersecurity like application security. It also examines security threats such as malware, phishing and denial of service attacks. The document defines cybercrime and discusses challenges in cybersecurity like ransomware and IoT threats. It recommends antivirus providers like Kaspersky, Bitdefender and AVG and explores cybersecurity as a growing career field with opportunities in areas like penetration testing, forensic investigation and security operations centers.
Ransomware all locked up book
Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts files on an infected device and demands ransom payment to decrypt the files. It works by preying on human emotions like fear of losing important files. For cybercriminals, ransomware is a lucrative business that earned over $24 million from just 2,453 attacks in 2015. There are three main types - encryption ransomware, master boot record ransomware, and lockscreen ransomware. Ransomware poses a big threat to both individuals and businesses alike, though some myths persist that it only targets one group over another. The document discusses whether to pay ransoms or not.

the future of the BFS industry
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN DIGITAL BANKING
The most prevalent trend in today’s
financial services industry is the shift to
digital, specifically mobile and online
banking. In the era of unprecedented
convenience and speed, consumers don’t
want to trek to a physical bank branch to
handle their transactions. While on the one
hand, banks are releasing new features to
attract more customers and retain the
existing ones, on the other hand, startups
and neo banks with disruptive banking
technologies are breaking into the scene.
The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the
banking industry can revolutionize the way
banks operate and provide services to
their customers, improving e ciency,
productivity, and customer experience.
DIGITAL MANUFACTURING
In the age of disruption, manufacturers need to
constantly find innovative ways to overcome challenges
like data sitting in silos, downtime (which could be
prevented), rigid production and labor shortage issues.
Companies need to listen to their operators and
technicians and enable them to have a say in the
day-to-day processes. Issues like being unable to find a
product/part on the floor lead to unnecessary delays,
miscommunication, and dissatisfaction among workers

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

Advanced persistent threats(APT) - Infographic
- 1. Operation Aurora in 2009 targeted Google, Adobe, Juniper, Rackspace, Symantec and other major companies leading to large amounts of data and intellectual property thefts. “Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) refers to a type of cyber attack designed to evade an organization's present technical and process countermeasures. APTs are those that are specifically designed to bypass firewalls, intrusion detection systems and anti-malware programs.” - Ponemon Institute® in ‘The Economic Impact of Advanced Persistent Threats’ An estimated € 36MN was stolen from more than 30,000 customers in over 30 banks across Europe by a Trojan based APT called Eurograbber. Since August 2013, approximately US$ 1BN has been stolen from over 100 financial institutions by the Carbanak cyber-gang. The threat still persists. The average cost from cyber crime per company was about US$ 12.7MN in 2014!
