77 million customer accounts were hacked in an attack on Sony in 2014. The document discusses how data breaches typically occur through targeted attacks or unintended insider access. It provides details on the timeline of the Sony attack, including when different events took place and how many customer records were affected. The document also estimates that the breach cost Sony around $1.25 billion and discusses measures that could have prevented or limited the breach, such as better network segmentation and patching of vulnerabilities.
Edward Snowden : is a former National Security Agency subcontractor who made headlines in 2013 when he leaked top secret information about NSA surveillance activities.
Thanks to William Favre.
This presentation covers what I am calling the 'Snowden Scenario.' This is when a privileged insider uses their power to steal data from an organization. If it can happen to the NSA, your organization is at risk too. Background checks, credentials and insurance isn't enough if your most valuable assets are leaked to the world.
This brief presentation gives you a quick overview on how the Cyber Threat Landscape is shaping up in 2017 for individuals and business owners alike. It puts forth some important trends and predictions.
This is a summary of what cyber crime is all about, the history of cyber crime; motivation behind cyber attack as well as the various techniques used in committing those crimes; Cybercrime groups starting to operate like the Mafia; how cyber crimes exploits Web2.0 opportunites and Top Computer Secuity Actions.

There is no argument about the popularity of the social platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, twitter, etc. These platforms can be used to stay in touch with your friends, increase sales revenues for organizations and as a collaboration tool to stay connected with the public. However, each of these benefits comes at a cost, putting your private information at a risk/ exposed. We aim to discuss the common security risks associated with usage of these platforms including risk mitigation strategies.

Social Engineering - Strategy, Tactics, & Case StudiesPraetorian
For many organizations, the human element is often the most overlooked attack vector. Ironically, people are typically one of the easiest vulnerabilities to exploit and an attacker needs little more than a smile or email to completely compromise a company. With targeted attacks on the rise, organizations must understand the risk of social engineering based attacks. The purpose of this presentation is to examine common physical, phone, and Internet based attacks. Real world case studies are included and recommendations are provided that will help mitigate this growing threat.
Praetorian's goal is to help our clients understand minimize their overall security exposure and liability. Through our services, your organization can obtain an accurate, independent security assessment.
Hospitals, school districts, state and local governments, law enforcement agencies, small businesses, large businesses—these are just some of the entities impacted recently by ransomware, an insidious type of malware that encrypts, or locks, valuable digital files and demands a ransom to release them. And, of course, home computers are just as susceptible to ransomware, and the loss of access to personal and often irreplaceable items—including family photos, videos, and other data—can be devastating for individuals as well.
The current presentation is based on different Cyber Security Threats for 2017 published in Internet. All threats are explained at a high level but at the end of this presentation all references URL are present if you want to investigate deeply any threat.
This is a basic presentation about cybersecurity to share awareness about various security threats and how you can protect yourself from them. In the preview window the formatting is off, but when downloaded it can be viewed with no problems. This is for my Info Security Policy Management class at Governors State University.
Cybersecurity Awareness Training Presentation v1.3DallasHaselhorst
This free cybersecurity awareness training slide deck is meant to be used by organizations and end users to educate them on ways to avoid scams and attacks and become more security aware.

On November 24 2014 Sony Pictures Entertainment found out .pdfaabdin101
On November 24, 2014, Sony Pictures Entertainment found out it had been hacked. The hackers
were able to penetrate Sony systems and networks and take over 100 terabytes of company
information, including trade secrets, email, and personnel records. Several Sony Twitter accounts
were also taken over. The hackers then installed on Sonys computers a piece of malware called
Wiper, which erased data from the companys servers and PCs. Investigators concluded that the
hackers spent more than two months, from mid-September to mid-November 2014, mapping
Sonys computer systems, identifying critical files, and planning how to destroy computers and
servers. The malware made many Sony employees computers inoperable and full recovery
difficult or impossible, slowing down company operations. Sony shut down its internal computer
network to prevent the data-wiping software from causing further damage, forcing many
employees to use paper and pen. Systems from which the company generates revenue, including
those involved with marketing and distributing films and TV shows, were the first to be restored.
The hackers, who called themselves the Guardians of Peace, released some of the stolen
information to the public and threatened to release more. That information included very
confidential and poten tially embarrassing tidbits about Sony staff; partners; Hollywood stars,
including Sylvester Stallone, director Judd Apatow, and Australian actress Rebel Wilson; and
President Obama. Confidential personal informa tion about employees such as names; addresses;
47,000 Social Security numbers; and financial details was also stolen. The personal data, along
with contracts and other sensitive Sony documents, were posted on file-sharing networks such as
Bit Torrent. The hackers also posted five Sony films to online file-sharing sites, including Brad Pitts
Fury and a remake of the musical Annie. These films had not yet been released, so the hackers
were essentially giving them away free before Sony could bring them to market. Sony quickly
organized internal staff to deal with this problem and contacted the FBI and the private security
firm FireEye to find ways to protect employees whose personal data had been exposed by the
hack, repair the damaged computers, and hunt down the hackers. The attack may have been
motivated in part by Sonys plans to release a film called The Interview about two bumbling TV
reporters trying to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. North Korean officials had
previously expressed objections to the film at the United Nations. A December 16, 2014, message
from the Guardians of Peace threatened terrorist actions at theaters showing the film. Sony pulled
the film from theatrical release the next day, and a number of U.S. theater chains announced they
would not screen the film. U.S. government officials stated on December 17 that they believed the
North Korean government was involved with the Sony hack, pointing to North Korean hackers
previous us.

The Sony Pictures Entertainment Hack The Problem On .docxjoshua2345678
The Sony Pictures Entertainment Hack
The Problem
On November 24, 2014, a hacker group called the “Guardians of Peace” or
GOP successfully attacked Sony Pictures Entertainment (www.sonypictures.com;
SPE). The attackers obtained personally identifiable information about 47,000
current and former SPE employees and their dependents. These materials included
numerous sensitive e-mails among top SPE executives concerning actors, financial
deals, and creative disagreements; executive salaries; and complete copies of
unreleased Sony films. The information included names, addresses, social security
numbers, driver's license numbers, passport numbers, bank account information,
credit card information used for corporate travel and expenses, usernames and
passwords, and compensation and other employment-related information. The
hackers claimed to have stolen more than 100 terabytes of data from SPE.
The GOP initially released the most damaging information over the Internet.
This information consisted of digital copies of SPE films that had been released (e.g.,
Fury) or were yet to be released (e.g., Annie). In addition, the attackers announced
they would continue to release more interesting SPE information.
Although the specific motives for the attack had not been revealed as of mid-
2016, the hack has been linked to the planned release of the SPE film The Interview.
In this movie, producers of a tabloid television show learn that North Korea's leader,
Kim Jong Un, is a big fan of the show, and they set up an interview with him. While
the show's team is preparing for the interview, the CIA recruits them to assassinate
Kim Jong Un.
Prior to the Sony hack, North Korean officials had expressed concerns about
the film to the United Nations. The officials stated that “to allow the production and
distribution of such a film on the assassination of an incumbent head of a sovereign
state should be regarded as the most undisguised sponsoring of terrorism as well as
an act of war.”
On December 16, 2014, the GOP mentioned The Interview by name, and they
threatened to take terrorist actions against the film's New York City premiere at
Sunshine Cinema on December 18. The GOP also threatened similar actions on the
film's America-wide release date of December 25 (Christmas).
On December 18, two messages allegedly from the GOP appeared. The first
claimed that the GOP would not release any further information if SPE agreed not to
release The Interview and to remove it completely from the Internet. The second
http://www.sonypictures.com/
stated that SPE had “suffered enough” and it could release the film, but only if Kim
Jong Un's death scene was not “too happy.”
In the aftermath of the attack, the studio was forced to use fax machines, to
communicate through hard-copy posted messages, and to pay its employees with
paper checks. Employees worked with pen and paper, and shops located on Sony
property accepted only cash.
.
Two large corporations have been crippled by recent information security breaches. It may not be hard to quantify the losses in terms of lost revenue and profits but what will be hard to quantify are the losses to reputation. Cited as two of the most damaging cyber-attacks on corporate America, this presentation looks at what went wrong and what could have been done to prevent these situations.
a. Disclosure secret information known.Recent security incident .pdfanupamele
a. Disclosure: secret information known.
Recent security incident i.e. let us consider Sony system hacking. On November 24, 2014, a
hacker group which identified itself by the name \"Guardians of Peace\" (GOP) leaked a release
of confidential data from the film studio Sony Pictures Entertainment. The data included
personal information about Sony Pictures employees and their families, e-mails between
employees, information about executive salaries at the company, copies of then-unreleased Sony
films, and other information.
After hacking they disclose the information i.e complete story regarding the upcoming movie in
internet(James Bond sereies).
b. Disruption: problems which interrupt an event, activity, or process.
Servers may be taken down completely, data wiped and digital intellectual property released on
the internet by attackers. Victim organisations could be hounded by media inquiries for response
and status, and government reaction and statements may increase the visibility and chaos of the
attack.
Like this type massive attack I never seen. But recently some hackers enters into college
websites and stole the information from that sites then after they swiped it out.
I never think these were easily preventable.

After hacking they disclose the information i.e complete story regarding the upcoming movie in
internet(James Bond sereies).
b. Disruption: problems which interrupt an event, activity, or process.
Servers may be taken down completely, data wiped and digital intellectual property released on
the internet by attackers. Victim organisations could be hounded by media inquiries for response
and status, and government reaction and statements may increase the visibility and chaos of the
attack.
Like this type massive attack I never seen. But recently some hackers enters into college
websites and stole the information from that sites then after they swiped it out.
I never think these were easily preventable..
Verizon 2014 data breach investigation report and the target breachUlf Mattsson
The landscape of threats to sensitive data is changing. New technologies bring with them new vulnerabilities, and organizations like Target are failing to adapt to the shifts around them.
What’s needed is an approach equal to the persistent, advanced attacks companies face every day. The sooner we start adopting the same proactive thinking hackers are using to get at our data, the better we will be able to protect it.
In this webinar, Protegrity CTO and data security thought leader Ulf Mattsson integrates new information from the Verizon 2014 Data Breach Investigation Report (DBIR) into his analysis on what is driving data breaches today, and how we can prevent them in the future.
KEY TOPICS INCLUDE:
• The changing threat landscape
• The effects of new technologies on breaches
• Analysis of recent breaches, including Target
• Compliance vs. security
• The importance of shifting from reactive to proactive thinking
• Preparing for future attacks with new technology & techniques
(2015) This slides to show the audience how APT work and can cause massive data breach in one famous company in US. Lesson learned: keep security in mind for the sake of your business.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. Data Breach
Data breach is any incident that results in unauthorized access of data,
applications, services, networks, and/ or devices by perpetrators by
passing underlying security mechanisms.
The Anatomy of a Data Breach:
❖ Incursion: Hackers break into the company's network by exploiting
system vulnerabilities.
❖ Discovery: The hacker maps out the organization's systems and
automatically scans for confidential data.
❖ Capture: Exposed data on unprotected systems is immediately
accessed. Components called root kits are surreptitiously installed on
targeted systems and networks.
❖ Exfiltration: Confidential data is sent back to the hacker team.

12. Prevention
The consequences could have been lesser if :
Sensitive IPR data was segregated
Back-up networks were disconnected from the primary
network so that back-ups are not affected.
The malware was identified early by having up-to-date
patches.
The infected machine(s) were isolated immediately after
detection.
Sony had learned from the Sony 2011 Play Station incident
and educated its users on what to lookout for.
