Once again, it’s time for Kaspersky to deliver our customary retrospective of the key events that have defined the threat landscape in 2013. Let’s start by looking back at the things we thought would shape the year ahead, based on the trends we observed in the previous year.
GCHQ and US intelligence agencies hacked the phones of two British ISIS fighters, Reyaad Khan and Junaid Hussain, before they were killed in drone strikes. Media reports claimed the agencies had hacked the encrypted messaging app Surespot used by the fighters to track their movements. However, Surespot's CEO says this is inaccurate and that no evidence suggests Surespot was hacked. He explains that one fighter clicked a "poison link" sent by an undercover agent, infecting his phone with a virus that allowed his location to be tracked, but that Surespot itself operates securely and was not compromised. The CEO warns people not to believe exaggerated media claims meant to discourage encryption app use and uph

In this webinar we look at what phishing is, how it impacts legal aid organizations, and how to take steps to reduce the likelihood and impact of getting hit with an attack.
Mukesh Pathak reports on recent cybersecurity news in five paragraphs: (1) Hackers stole payment card data from over 1,174 Intercontinental hostels from September to December 2016. (2) Snapchat accounts are vulnerable to brute force attacks allowing password guessing. (3) The US NSA hacked into Pakistani mobile networks and spied on hundreds of IP addresses. (4) The hacking group "OurMine" compromised hundreds of popular YouTube accounts. (5) Millions of smartphones with Broadcom Wi-Fi chips can be hacked over-the-air without user interaction.
A man-in-the-middle attack is where an attacker secretly relays communications between two parties who believe they are directly communicating, allowing the attacker to intercept and potentially alter these communications. There are two main types - one using physical proximity to intercept wireless communications, and one using malware to intercept communications. Some common man-in-the-middle attack techniques aim to spoof IP addresses, DNS information, HTTPS secure connections, SSL encryption, email sender addresses, or eavesdrop on Wi-Fi networks to intercept user communications and credentials.
FBI Statistics Reveal that Most Home Burglaries Happen During the DayBarbara_Gill
Unlike the “ghost” in the movie Lights Out!, burglars today are very bold and find no reason to stay in the dark. Statistics from the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) reveal that most burglaries happen in broad daylight, contrasting with countless media portrayals of thieves attacking at night.
The security perimeter for businesses has expanded as more devices are used for work purposes. Firewalls and intrusion prevention systems alone are not enough to protect organizations from modern cyber threats. Security professionals are most concerned about advanced persistent threats, targeted malware attacks, and spear phishing. While mobile threats are less of a concern, the risks of attacks from advanced threats and targeted malware are especially high in the retail sector due to past data breaches. Healthcare and financial sectors show more concern about targeted attacks than advanced persistent threats. Companies with chief information security officers demonstrate a deeper understanding of advanced persistent threats and targeted attacks.
This document summarizes data breach incidents from 2013. It reports that there were 2,164 data breach incidents in 2013, resulting in over 822 million records being stolen. The largest breaches exposed over 100 million records each. Most breaches were caused by hacking from external sources, with the top causes being malware, stolen computers, and exploitation of vulnerabilities. The largest breaches of 2013 compromised personal information like names, email addresses, passwords, credit cards, and social security numbers from major companies and government agencies. The document emphasizes that data breaches are increasingly common and that all organizations are at risk of being hacked.
This document discusses cyber security threats facing small and medium sized businesses. It outlines the evolution of cyber crime from centralized hacker organizations to distributed crime ecosystems. It describes how exploit kits, droppers, and ransomware work individually and together in multi-step attacks. These threats target SMBs through emails, malvertising, and weaknesses in remote access. Signature-based defenses are increasingly bypassed while attacks scale up. A layered, predictive security approach is needed to prevent infection, contain threats, and strengthen defenses beyond signatures alone.
This document discusses various phishing techniques used by hackers to steal personal information. It describes instant messaging phishing using fake websites, key loggers that record keyboard inputs, session hacking that exploits web session controls, search engine phishing through fraudulent product sites, phone phishing using fake caller IDs, and malware phishing using emails with malicious attachments. The document stresses the importance of understanding these techniques to protect oneself from becoming a victim of phishing attacks.
Online identity theft has risen significantly in recent years as more personal information is available online. Criminals can steal identities by hacking databases or tricking users into providing sensitive details. Common tactics include phishing scams, where users are fooled into sharing financial information, and pharming, which hijacks domain names to steal data. To stay safe, experts recommend being wary of unsolicited requests for personal information and ensuring websites are secure before entering any details.
Spear Phishing is a more dangerous form of phishing as cybercriminals can easily target a specific individual or organization. They can make it difficult for the user to differentiate between an authentic email and a forged one. If you want to know more about what Spear Phishing is capable of and how you can prevent it, connect with the Kaspersky Support UK experts.

This document provides information about cyber safety, including definitions of hacking, the history of hacking, early hackers, and types of cyber attacks like phishing. It defines hacking as using technical skills to overcome obstacles within a computer system through unauthorized access. The first computer hack occurred in the 1960s when Bell Labs modified a UNIX system. Phishing involves deceiving users into providing sensitive information through fraudulent emails or websites, while vishing, smishing, and pharming are phone, SMS, and website-based variants. The document also discusses types of phishing like spear phishing, whaling, deceptive phishing, and angler phishing, and provides quizzes to test understanding of cyber attack types. It covers malware
Ransomware became a major cyberthreat in 2016, especially in the United States. Ransomware payments increased 771% from 2015 to 2016. The healthcare and education industries were among the most affected. In 2017, experts predict that ransomware will continue to spread rapidly across more devices and sectors. New variants will emerge using improved encryption and different delivery methods. Ransomware criminals are expected to make over $5 billion. Strong backups remain the best defense against ransomware attacks.
Discuss similarities and differences between and Trojan.docxwrite12
Viruses, worms, and Trojan horses are types of malware that pose threats to computers and users in different ways. Viruses require human action to spread, like opening an infected file, while worms can spread automatically between devices without user interaction. Trojan horses also require user involvement by disguising themselves as legitimate files or programs to gain access to systems. Each type of malware allows attackers to access systems for purposes like stealing data, spying, or launching other attacks.
Discuss similarities and differences between and Trojan.docxbkbk37
Viruses, worms, and Trojan horses are types of malware that pose threats to computers and networks in different ways. Viruses require human action to spread, usually by infecting files, while worms can spread automatically through networks. Trojan horses conceal malicious functions within seemingly harmless programs. Cyberattacks have become easier to carry out remotely without risk of detection, as seen in ransomware attacks against organizations, while attribution of attacks to specific actors remains difficult.
Cyber crime is a growing problem as more activities move online. There are many types of cyber crimes, including hacking, identity theft, and cyberbullying. Cyber criminals operate in organized networks similar to businesses, with different roles like leaders, engineers, and money mules. They are motivated by profit and use various technical methods and resources to attack networks and systems. Governments struggle to combat cyber crime due to its global and anonymous nature online.
Cyber crime involves using computers or the internet to commit illegal acts. There are three main types of cyber crimes: those against individuals, like cyber harassment; those against property, such as hacking to steal data from companies; and those against government, including terrorists using the internet to plan attacks. As more financial transactions move online, cyber crimes are increasing and pose a threat to both individuals and organizations. Effective prevention requires education about cyber security risks.
This document provides an overview of cyber crime and security. It discusses how cyber crime has evolved with technology and can take many forms, from identity theft to illegal hacking. The document then defines cyber crime and outlines some common types, including botnets, Trojan horses, and phishing. It also discusses crimeware tools used by cyber criminals and provides basic tips to prevent cyber crime.
Cyber crime is evolving from traditional organized crime to include online criminal activities. The document defines cyber crime and categories it into crimes against persons, property, government and society. It discusses the weapons used in cyber crimes such as hacking, viruses, and phishing. India is experiencing increased cyber crime due to its growing internet user base, and the document provides statistics on common cyber crimes in India as well as safety tips and cyber security measures.
5 biggest cyber attacks and most famous hackersRoman Antonov
A computer hacker is a computer expert who uses their technical knowledge to achieve a goal or overcome an obstacle, within a computerized system by non-standard means.
The document discusses the triple challenge of changing IT security landscape, cybercrime, and protection methods. It notes that information now comes from outside rather than inside enterprises, cybercrime has evolved from simple crimes to organized crime for profit, and protection now relies on cloud-based querying rather than installing updates on individual computers. Traditional antivirus methods are overwhelmed by the volume of new threats. Effective protection requires multiple layers of reputation services that inspect sources and file contents.
Cyphort Labs presents "Malware's Most Wanted: Ransomware Resurgence: Locky and Other “New Cryptolockers”
Like many viruses, botnets and malware families that we’ve seen over the past decade, hackers continue to find new ways of reinventing old threats. And this is no different for Ransomware.
Ransomware has come a long way from non-encrypting lockscreen FBI scare warnings like Reveton. In 2016 alone, there have been new ransomware families popping up and we expect that to only pick up steam over the summer.
In this edition of MMW, Nick Bilogorskiy, Senior Director of Threat Operations at Cyphort, will discuss:
Locky, the new “it” ransomware and how it works
A deep dive into a new family of ransom locker discovered by Cyphort Labs in March, that uses TOR Hidden Service
Other new ransomware families and why it’s becoming the preferred monetization method for attackers
Cyber crime(presentation) by Ahtasham AliAhtasham Ali
This document discusses cybercrime. It defines cybercrime as criminal activity conducted using computers and the internet, ranging from downloading illegal files to stealing millions from online bank accounts. The document outlines several forms of cybercrime like piracy, hacking, phreaking, cyber stalking, cyber terrorism, and cyber pornography. It also discusses financial cybercrimes like credit card fraud and money laundering. The document notes that cybercrime costs Australian businesses over $600 million annually and that Australia has the highest rate of cybercrime victims in the world. It concludes that most people will fall victim to a cybercrime at some point.
The report summarizes McAfee's findings on cyber threats from the first quarter of 2010. Key points include:
- Spam volumes returned to mid-2008 levels after declining in late 2009. Pill and male enhancement messages made up over 70% of spam.
- Different types of spam were most common in different countries. For example, malware and drugs messages were popular from China while 419 scams and watches messages came mostly from Nigeria.
- Attacks continued to target popular software like Adobe Reader and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Cybercriminals also increasingly targeted social media like Facebook.
- Major cyberattacks in the quarter included Operation Aurora, which compromised many large companies by targeting software vulnerabilities.
This document discusses cybercrime and how to prevent becoming a victim. It begins by explaining why we should be aware of cybercrime given our increasing online activities. The objectives are then outlined as providing awareness of cybercrime, recognizing methods, understanding cyber laws, and learning to avoid victimization. Various types of cybercrime are defined including those against persons, property, and government. Examples like phishing, hacking, and cyber terrorism are described. The history of cybercrime in India involves many website hacks and defacements. Laws are still lacking to fully address cybercrime. Awareness, security software, and caution are recommended for protection.
This document discusses various types of cybercrime such as hacking, denial of service attacks, phishing, and virus dissemination. It provides examples of hacking tools like Nmap and Wireshark. Denial of service attacks are attempts to make computer resources unavailable and include Ping of Death and SYN attacks. Phishing involves sending fake emails pretending to be legitimate organizations to steal personal information. The document also discusses how Wikileaks may have breached the security of the US military's SIPRNET network and gives an example of the password cracking tool Cain and Abel. It concludes with sections on cyberlaw and cyber safety practices.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
