Please and thank you! Exclusive: Anatomy of A Brokerage IT Meltdown Regulators last year
issued the SECs first-ever privacy fine against broker-dealer GunnAllen for failing to protect
customer data. But former II staffers say regulators didn"t seem to know half of this cautionary
tale of outsourcing and oversight gone wrong. By Mathew J. Schwart,, InformationWeck
October 08,2012 URL: http://wwwinformationweek com/securitylattacks'exelusive-anatomy-of-
a-brokerage-itmelv/240008569 The network slowdown was one of the first clues that something
was amiss at GunnAllen Financial, a now defunct broker-dealer whose IT problems were only a
symptom of widespread mismanagement and deeper misconduct at the firm. It was the spring of
2005. Over a period of roughly seven business days, traffic had slowed to a crawl at the Tampa,
Fla.-based firm, which had outsourced its II department to The Revere Group. GunnAllen's
acting ClO, a Revere Group partner, asked a member of the IT team to investigate. Dan
Saceavino, a former Revere Group employee who at the time served at GunnAllen as the IT
manager in charge of the help desk, laptops, and desktops, says he and another network engineer
eventually pinpointed the cause of the slowdown: A senior network engineer had disabled the
company's WatchGuard firewalls and routed all of the broker-dealer's IP traffic--including trades
and VoIP calls-through his home cable modem. As a result, none of the company's trades,
emails, or phone calls were being archived, in violation of Securities and Exchange Commission
regulations. Despite the fact that at least five people at The Revere Group knew about the
engineer's action, it's unclear whether it was reported at the time to GunnAllen or regulators. The
SEC didn't reference the incident in a subsequent announcement about a settiement with
GunnAllen for unrelated privacy and data security violations, and interviews with former Revere
Group employees reveal that regulators may have known about only a fruction of the data
security failures at the firm. What follows is a chronicle of one firm's myriad IT and other
missteps over a period of at least four years, as related by former employees and various official
documents. It's a cautionary tale of what happens when a company tosses all IT responsibility
over a wall and rarely peeks back. It also reveals what happens when an II outsourcing vendor
gets in over its head, and it points to the failures of regulators to identify and clean up a corporate
mess on a grand seale While these missteps go back as far as seven years, they have continuing
relevance today in the context of how businesses oversee outsourcing, information security,
regulatory, and employee matters.

How the US Military does Risk Management is a little different wha.docxwellesleyterresa
How the US Military does Risk Management is a little different what we have seen thus far. The notable difference is the selection of the controls. The process we have seen usually begins by identifying the threats and vulnerabilities to which specific controls are selected. The US Military, on the other hand, first defines the system category based on the impact of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (STEP 1 in figure). From there, it MUST use the controls needed to meet the system category! (STEP 2 in figure). This removes the arguments over what controls should or should not be implemented. As an example, I had a Public-Facing website with low confidentiality, integrity, and availability requirements and we had to implement 107 controls. This approach is clever in that I don’t need to estimate probabilities or likelihood of threats/vulnerabilities – I just include the proper suite of controls. (In fact, there are 3 sets of possibilities in each group: 3x confidentiality, 3x integrity, and 3x availability equals 27 possible outcomes – and each outcome had a particular set of controls; but the idea is the same).

The Breach at Limetree
Updated November 18, 2017
Background: Limetree Inc. is a research and development firm that engages in multiple
research projects with the federal government and private corporations in the areas of
healthcare, biotechnology, and other cutting-edge industries
Limetree recently lost a DOD contract worth millions of dollars, because another competitor
claimed to have “superior chemical process that brought about the desired results in half the
time, with over seventy-five percent more yield than conventional technologies.” This contract
loss troubled Limetree Inc. management because Limetree has been working on that exact
same technology for years and they suspect that it’s no mere coincidence that a competitor has
claimed their proprietary process for their own.
The management then asked Jack Sterling, Limetree’s security manager, to investigate if there
were any IT related security problems that could shed some light on the possibility of an insider
threat. Jack performed an unannounced sweep of the office area and found serious problems.
There were poor security practices with every workstation, such as unauthorized external hard-
drives & USBs, passwords under mouse pads, unlocked displays, unauthorized software,
obvious phone PINs, wireless passwords on bulletin boards, and improper destruction of
sensitive documents.
Jacks’ investigation lead him to three suspects: Jamie Kim at workstation #14 because her
external hard-drive had the same proprietary processes files as was leaked to the competitor;
Duncan Harris at workstation #11 because he had a USB with deleted files that also had the
proprietary processes leaked; Steve Kim at workstation #4 because he had passwords and
usernames of Jamie Kim on a partially shredded paper in the trash. No other employees had
any file or potential access to the files that contained the proprietary processes.
Jack also conducted a review of the access logs on the server to rule out any unwarranted
wireless access from in or outside the facility. There were several unauthorized users using the
wireless resource, but no access to the servers. Logs on the servers themselves revealed
unauthorized directory traversals and DNS poisoning but these attacks were not in the narrow
timeframe that the insider sold the proprietary process. Jack then navigated to the folder that
the proprietary process was kept and observed there was no encryption; nor was it isolated on
the network. Jack looked up the default password for the CISCO switch and sure enough, it had
not been changed on the routers and switches. Jack also ran a root-kit detector and although it
didn’t find one, it did show that a backdoor had been planted in the distant past but wasn’t
active now. After finding the backdoor, Jack then examined the public-facing webpage and
noticed that many of the input fields did not do any data integrity checks. Since that is a poor

It's been more than two years since federal agencies were required to support DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC) on their Web sites. However, two recent studies indicate that around 40% of federal Web sites have not yet deployed this Internet security standard.
Laggards on adopting this Internet security standard include the Department of Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency, experts say.
RELATED: Will 2012 be the dawn of DNSSEC?
DNSSEC solves what's called the Kaminsky vulnerability, a fundamental flaw in the DNS that was disclosed in 2008. This flaw makes it possible for hackers to launch cache poisoning attacks, where traffic is redirected from a legitimate Web site to a fake one without the Web site operator or end user knowing.
DNSSEC prevents cache poisoning attacks by allowing Web sites to verify their domain names and corresponding IP addresses using digital signatures and public-key encryption.
It prevents man-in-the-middle attacks as long as every aspect of the DNS hierarchy - including the root zone, top-level domain such as .gov, and individual Web site such as www.irs.gov -- support the standard. The DNS root zone and the .gov domain are cryptographically signed, so now it is up to individual federal Web sites to deploy DNSSEC in order to bolster end-to-end security of the government's Web traffic.
Federal agencies were required to support DNSSEC on their Web sites under an Office of Management and Budget mandate issued in August 2008. The deadline for compliance was Dec. 31, 2009.
DNSSEC deployment also is necessary for high marks in agency IT security report cards under the Federal Information Security Management Act or FISMA.
One study, conducted on March 2 by DNS vendor Secure64, indicated that 57% of the 359 federal government Web sites tested had deployed DNSSEC. This study indicated that the other 43% of Web sites had not yet added digital signature technology to their DNS servers.

SOCIAL ENGINEERING 6
As a hacker, the most successful use case is to target human error as a potential link to data breaches. Social engineering threats target psychological manipulation and human error and manipulate them to identify sensitive data (Krombholz et al., 2015). It can convince users to breach security measures that an attacker can access. Poor cyber security culture is one of the best ways to launch an attack. Social engineering can be implemented in a variety of ways, including whaling, spearfishing, sight checking, and traditional fishing (Hartfield & Loukas, 2015). The reason I use phishing is that I can successfully use social networks, SMS, email and other forms of phishing to get information for personal purposes.
The best way to do business is with microfinance. Although security systems are complex, social engineering can guarantee successful fraud. The first thing to do is to manage employee phishing which could affect access to large amounts of data. A new employee is a good goal with a few safety precautions. For example, it checks the name and contact number of their name tags. After that, the next step is to develop an email equivalent to the main business email. Sending a computer email wherever you need to install a newly needed patch update is an appropriate way to launch an attack (Krombholz et al., 2015). This email is called "Security Update for Windows 7 / 8.1, 8, and 10". The employee replied to a false e-mail indicating his real e-mail address. To get the data successfully, you need a cloned website.
Another way is to search the names of employees working in the company's marketing department and access the latest project accounts. Duplicate stolen invoices can be emailed to employees, requiring them to enter a password to unlock the document. Credentials will help you access your corporate network before you know it. This fishing method is effective because the higher the probability of obtaining information, the higher the number of targets. All details are recorded and stored on the cloning site.
After a while, I sent an email to sign up for work services to improve my account security. Look for reliable sources, like the new email management center. If they agree, they can submit login information to my database. The most important information is your username, password, personal identification number (PIN), personal details, credit card details and most recent transaction details.
Targets can be listed through the antivirus you are using. It is important to use DNS spyware to ensure the success of e-phishing campaigns (Fernan et al., 2019). This process helps determine the protection of the malware involved. The next step is to install antivirus software on the virtual machine. This is done before sending an email. Although it has the same version as the antivirus software used, it is not reliable. Common free antivirus s.

The Great Data Migration, Dealing With Cybersecurity and Privacy in Legacy Da...Executive Leaders Network
Presented at Executive Leaders Network CMO/DPO/CIO/CISO Event on October 06th.
"Moving data from one place to another is a challenge in any case. Doing so under the strict deadlines of data migration and M&A activities can make it all the more challenging. However, doing this in regulated environments that require strict cybersecurity or privacy controls presents all new regulatory challenges. In this session, we will discuss how to think about privacy and security centric cloud and legacy migrations and M&A data carve outs and hear examples from others that have successfully executed on such projects.
Key Takeaways:
- Planning security and privacy-respecting data migrations - Understanding security and privacy in the context of M&A data carve outs - Learn best practices from those that have been there and done it."
A1 - Cibersegurança - Raising the Bar for CybersecuritySpark Security
In the past few years, a new approach to cybersecurity has emerged, based on the analysis of data on successful attacks. In this approach, continuous diagnostics and mitigation replace the reactive network security methods used in the past. The approach combines continuous monitoring of network health with relatively straightforward mitigation strategies. The strategies used in this approach reduce the opportunities for attack and force attackers to develop more sophisticated (and expensive) techniques or to give up on the target. In combination, continuous monitoring and mitigation strategies provide the basis for better cybersecurity.
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
Case 11. What exactly occurred Twitter is one of popular soci.docxtidwellveronique
Case 1
1. What exactly occurred?
Twitter is one of popular social media that targeted to be hacked.
The social network said in that approximately 250,000 user accounts were potentially compromised, with attackers gaining access to information including user names and email addresses. The company first detected signs of an attack earlier in the week, which led to an investigation and the discovery of a larger breach. The company detected unusual access patterns that led to identify unauthorized access attempts to Twitter user data. They discovered one live attack and were able to shut it down in process moments later. However, their investigation has thus far indicated that the attackers may have had access to limited user information. Twitter has reset the passwords and revoked session tokens, which allow user to stay logged into the service without reentering a password, for all of these accounts. Affected users will not be able to log in and will receive an e-mail instructing them to reset their password.
2. How was the company affected?
Twitter reports that 250,000 user accounts may have compromised. The company is able to detect the hacker immediately and send e-mail to the affected users instructing them to reset their passwords. They also recommend all users to create strong passwords and disable Java in their browsers.
3. What (if any) measures has the company taken since the breach to prevent future similar incidents?
The company offers tips for all of its users going forward, including using strong passwords that mix numbers and symbols with upper- and lowercase letters, not using the same password for multiple accounts, update and upgrade antivirus software and disabling Java. The company also provides tips to keep the account secure and also steps to take if your account has been compromised.
4. In your opinion, did the company have sufficient security safeguards in place prior to the breach?
In my opinion, Twitter has sufficient security safeguards in place prior to the breach. Twitter is able to detect the attacker before they get through all 200 million monthly active users. 250,000 accounts of affected users is a small amount comparing to the number of Twitter active users. After they notice the attack, the company have been reset the password of affected users and send them e-mail to change their password. I believed that after the breach Twitter would be more aware of the security protection.
Case 2
1. What exactly occurred?
Google detected a coordinated attempt by Chinese entities to compromise the accounts of Chinese dissidents. David Drummond, Google’s chief counsel, said, “A primary goal of the attackers was accessing the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists.” According to George Kurtz at McAfee, the attacks were part of a large-scale, well-organized operation called Aurora. As a result, Google has stopped censoring its search results in China, and has considered pulling out of the country entir ...

As a hacker, the most successful use case is to target human error as a potential link to data breaches. Social engineering threats target psychological manipulation and human error and manipulate them to identify sensitive data (Krombholz et al., 2015). It can convince users to breach security measures that an attacker can access. Poor cyber security culture is one of the best ways to launch an attack. Social engineering can be implemented in a variety of ways, including whaling, spearfishing, sight checking, and traditional fishing (Hartfield & Loukas, 2015). The reason I use phishing is that I can successfully use social networks, SMS, email and other forms of phishing to get information for personal purposes.
The best way to do business is with microfinance. Although security systems are complex, social engineering can guarantee successful fraud. The first thing to do is to manage employee phishing which could affect access to large amounts of data. A new employee is a good goal with a few safety precautions. For example, it checks the name and contact number of their name tags. After that, the next step is to develop an email equivalent to the main business email. Sending a computer email wherever you need to install a newly needed patch update is an appropriate way to launch an attack (Krombholz et al., 2015). This email is called "Security Update for Windows 7 / 8.1, 8, and 10". The employee replied to a false e-mail indicating his real e-mail address. To get the data successfully, you need a cloned website.
Another way is to search the names of employees working in the company's marketing department and access the latest project accounts. Duplicate stolen invoices can be emailed to employees, requiring them to enter a password to unlock the document. Credentials will help you access your corporate network before you know it. This fishing method is effective because the higher the probability of obtaining information, the higher the number of targets. All details are recorded and stored on the cloning site.
After a while, I sent an email to sign up for work services to improve my account security. Look for reliable sources, like the new email management center. If they agree, they can submit login information to my database. The most important information is your username, password, personal identification number (PIN), personal details, credit card details and most recent transaction details.
Targets can be listed through the antivirus you are using. It is important to use DNS spyware to ensure the success of e-phishing campaigns (Fernan et al., 2019). This process helps determine the protection of the malware involved. The next step is to install antivirus software on the virtual machine. This is done before sending an email. Although it has the same version as the antivirus software used, it is not reliable. Common free antivirus s.

The Great Data Migration, Dealing With Cybersecurity and Privacy in Legacy Da...Executive Leaders Network
Presented at Executive Leaders Network CMO/DPO/CIO/CISO Event on October 06th.
"Moving data from one place to another is a challenge in any case. Doing so under the strict deadlines of data migration and M&A activities can make it all the more challenging. However, doing this in regulated environments that require strict cybersecurity or privacy controls presents all new regulatory challenges. In this session, we will discuss how to think about privacy and security centric cloud and legacy migrations and M&A data carve outs and hear examples from others that have successfully executed on such projects.
Key Takeaways:
- Planning security and privacy-respecting data migrations - Understanding security and privacy in the context of M&A data carve outs - Learn best practices from those that have been there and done it."
A1 - Cibersegurança - Raising the Bar for CybersecuritySpark Security
In the past few years, a new approach to cybersecurity has emerged, based on the analysis of data on successful attacks. In this approach, continuous diagnostics and mitigation replace the reactive network security methods used in the past. The approach combines continuous monitoring of network health with relatively straightforward mitigation strategies. The strategies used in this approach reduce the opportunities for attack and force attackers to develop more sophisticated (and expensive) techniques or to give up on the target. In combination, continuous monitoring and mitigation strategies provide the basis for better cybersecurity.
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
Case 11. What exactly occurred Twitter is one of popular soci.docxtidwellveronique
Case 1
1. What exactly occurred?
Twitter is one of popular social media that targeted to be hacked.
The social network said in that approximately 250,000 user accounts were potentially compromised, with attackers gaining access to information including user names and email addresses. The company first detected signs of an attack earlier in the week, which led to an investigation and the discovery of a larger breach. The company detected unusual access patterns that led to identify unauthorized access attempts to Twitter user data. They discovered one live attack and were able to shut it down in process moments later. However, their investigation has thus far indicated that the attackers may have had access to limited user information. Twitter has reset the passwords and revoked session tokens, which allow user to stay logged into the service without reentering a password, for all of these accounts. Affected users will not be able to log in and will receive an e-mail instructing them to reset their password.
2. How was the company affected?
Twitter reports that 250,000 user accounts may have compromised. The company is able to detect the hacker immediately and send e-mail to the affected users instructing them to reset their passwords. They also recommend all users to create strong passwords and disable Java in their browsers.
3. What (if any) measures has the company taken since the breach to prevent future similar incidents?
The company offers tips for all of its users going forward, including using strong passwords that mix numbers and symbols with upper- and lowercase letters, not using the same password for multiple accounts, update and upgrade antivirus software and disabling Java. The company also provides tips to keep the account secure and also steps to take if your account has been compromised.
4. In your opinion, did the company have sufficient security safeguards in place prior to the breach?
In my opinion, Twitter has sufficient security safeguards in place prior to the breach. Twitter is able to detect the attacker before they get through all 200 million monthly active users. 250,000 accounts of affected users is a small amount comparing to the number of Twitter active users. After they notice the attack, the company have been reset the password of affected users and send them e-mail to change their password. I believed that after the breach Twitter would be more aware of the security protection.

Question-1 (courier Services) As an employee of a large courier and .pdfAlphaVision2
Question-1 (courier Services) As an employee of a large courier and shipping service, Bill Mark
met with many companies that shipped and received packages almost every day. He was
frequently asked if his company could deliver local packages on the spot service, same day. Over
several months, he noticed that thereis a substantial need for courier services in the city in which
he lived. He decided that he would open his company Courier OnSpot by Bill's. Bill began by
creating his company profile with phone numbers in the Yellow Pages. He also sent
correspondence to all those companies that had requested on spot service for courier delivery that
he rejected earlier. He was hoping substantial business growth with good service feedback and
word of mouth spread from customers. He also contacted other advertising and marketing
activities to promote his business. At first, Bill received delivery requests on his phone number
but number was sometimes quite a busy so customers started asking about any website he owns
where they could place orders for shipments. He then identified website will bring a good growth
to the business. After some time he realized that he is short of manpower and hired another
person to help with the delivery and pickup of packages. It was good to see the business grow,
but another employee added to the complexity of coordinating pickups and deliveries. With the
addition of a new person, he could no longer "warehouse" the packages out of his delivery van.
He now needed a central place as a warehouse where he could organize and distribute packages
for delivery. He thought that if his business grew enough to add one more delivery person that he
would also need someone to manage delivery and pickup of packages at the warehouse. The
details of the package pickup and delivery process are described here. When Bill gets an order,
only on his phone at first, he recorded date and time of call and order and when shipment is
ready. Sometimes, customers wanted onspot pickup; sometimes, they were calling to schedule a
later time in the day for pickup. Once he arrived at the pickup location, Bill collected the
packages. sometimes there were multiple packages for the same customer. Records were created
for name and address of the delivery location, time of pickup, desired delivery time, the location
of the delivery, and the weight of the package to calculate the courier cost. After picking the
package, labels are printed out using printer that he kept in the delivery van. At first, Bill
required customers to pay at the time of pickup, but he soon discovered that there were some
regular customers who preferred to receive a monthly bill for all their shipments. He wanted to
be able to accommodate those customers. Bills were due and payable upon receipt. To help keep
track of all the packages, Bill decided that he needed to scan each package as it was sorted in the
warehouse. This would enable him to keep good control of his packages and avoid l.

He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.

Please and thank you! Exclusive: Anatomy of A Brokerage IT Meltdown Regulators last year
issued the SECs first-ever privacy fine against broker-dealer GunnAllen for failing to protect
customer data. But former II staffers say regulators didn"t seem to know half of this cautionary
tale of outsourcing and oversight gone wrong. By Mathew J. Schwart,, InformationWeck
October 08,2012 URL: http://wwwinformationweek com/securitylattacks'exelusive-anatomy-of-
a-brokerage-itmelv/240008569 The network slowdown was one of the first clues that something
was amiss at GunnAllen Financial, a now defunct broker-dealer whose IT problems were only a
symptom of widespread mismanagement and deeper misconduct at the firm. It was the spring of
2005. Over a period of roughly seven business days, traffic had slowed to a crawl at the Tampa,
Fla.-based firm, which had outsourced its II department to The Revere Group. GunnAllen's
acting ClO, a Revere Group partner, asked a member of the IT team to investigate. Dan
Saceavino, a former Revere Group employee who at the time served at GunnAllen as the IT
manager in charge of the help desk, laptops, and desktops, says he and another network engineer
eventually pinpointed the cause of the slowdown: A senior network engineer had disabled the
company's WatchGuard firewalls and routed all of the broker-dealer's IP traffic--including trades
and VoIP calls-through his home cable modem. As a result, none of the company's trades,
emails, or phone calls were being archived, in violation of Securities and Exchange Commission
regulations. Despite the fact that at least five people at The Revere Group knew about the
engineer's action, it's unclear whether it was reported at the time to GunnAllen or regulators. The
SEC didn't reference the incident in a subsequent announcement about a settiement with
GunnAllen for unrelated privacy and data security violations, and interviews with former Revere
Group employees reveal that regulators may have known about only a fruction of the data
security failures at the firm. What follows is a chronicle of one firm's myriad IT and other
missteps over a period of at least four years, as related by former employees and various official
documents. It's a cautionary tale of what happens when a company tosses all IT responsibility
over a wall and rarely peeks back. It also reveals what happens when an II outsourcing vendor
gets in over its head, and it points to the failures of regulators to identify and clean up a corporate
mess on a grand seale While these missteps go back as far as seven years, they have continuing
relevance today in the context of how businesses oversee outsourcing, information security,
regulatory, and employee matters.
Rogue Home Router Why would a network engineer route all of his employer's traffic through
2. his home RoadRunner cable modem? "You can direct where your traffic is going, and we found
out that he'd sent the traffic home to ensure that his routing patterns at work were correct,"
Saccavino told InformationWeek in a recent interview. But after a week, Saccavino said, he'd
forgotten to turn it off. During the week or so in 2005 that all brokerage traffic was being piped
through the home router, the data being sent by GunnAllen's 200 or so employees included bank
routing information, account balances, account and social security numbers, and customers'
home addresses and driver's license numbers, says Roger Sago, a former Revere Group SQL
Server database administrator who was working at the GunnAllen offices at the time. Sago was
in charge of defining the data stream to and from Pershing (a unit of Bank of New York Mellon
that provides prime brokerage and other services to financial services organizations), which
involved thousands of transactions per day. "They transmitted it over the system, online, to the
clearinghouse, and if anyone had access to that data ... the ramifications would be huge," Sago
said. "There's enough data there that a person could run off and live forever off of what they
found." Sago contacted InformationWeek, saying that the SEC s 2011 settlement announcement
relating to prior information security and privacy failures at GunnAllen had failed to mention
additional security breaches at the firm. By way of background, Sago filed a civil action-since
settled-against The Revere Group and GunnAllen in December 2008, alleging that he'd been
unfairly laid off. During the course of that lawsuit, Sago says he leamed about the undisclosed
breaches from other former employees. Because such security breaches must be reported to the
relevant authorities, Sago says he brought them to the attention of The Revere Group and
GunnAllen lawyers involved in his case and asked them to respond within 30 days-and
preferably, to report the incidents to the relevant authorities. When neither responded, according
to Sago, he says he then alerted the Federal Trade Commission, the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the SEC, and attorneys general in the 42 states where GunnAllen
had conducted business. Negligence, Incompetence, or Sabotage? Other former IT staffers, in
interviews with InformationWeek, confirmed Sago's assertions, saying the home router incident
was indicative of a pattern of either security negligence or incompetence--or possibly sabotage--
at GunnAllen, much of which could be traced to the previously mentioned senior network
engineer. "The network would get screwy over the weekend ... then [he] would show up, and five
minutes in on a Monday, he'd fix the problem," Saceavino said. It's the opinion of Thomas
Lynott, a former senior systems engineer at Revere Group who worked at GunnAllen at the time,
that the network engineer's actions suggested a pattern of sabotage. "He'd purposefully break
things, then come in in the moming and be the hero," Lynott
claimed. "I ended up key-logging all the servers, and I logged him logging in from home at 2:30
in the morning, logging on to BlackBerry servers and breaking them." After the router incident
3. was brought to the attention of the acting CIO, the offending network engineer received a
"written warning and corrective action plan" from his manager, Jerome DiMarzio, the Revere
Group IT operations manager assigned to GunnAllen. DiMarzio reported to the acting CIO.
DiMarzio's "confidential memorandum" to the network engineer-dated August 24, 2005, and
copied to the acting GunnAllen CIO as well as a Revere Group HR official-outlines episodes
involving "insubordination and/or indifference" as well as "dereliction of duty," including failure
to obtain formal change control permission for undertaking BlackBerry server maintenance,
rebooting the Cisco Call Manager, rebooting the domain controller "without ensuring it had fully
recovered," and "changing the default gateway for Exchange." The memorandum, which
DiMarzio confirmed as legitimate, also accused the network engineer of "purposely pulling a
cable out of a production environment in order that you would not have to travel to Jacksonville
to attend an HP event at the request of the CIO." It also accused him of failing to identify the root
cause of problems, including a Microsof Exchange "data store corruption" and "BlackBerry
server MAPI profile loss," and failing to note that logging had been disabled on the company's
WatchGuard firewalls. Officials from The Revere Group, including president and COO Todd
Miller and CEO Michael Parks, didn't respond to multiple email requests from InformationWeek
to comment on the episodes detailed by the former employees. Our multiple calls to The Revere
Group seeking comment also weren't retumed. Keep Quiet Lynott said he'd been brought in to
clean up one case in which the engineer pulled tables from a server to crash it so he could skip an
offsite meeting. "But if you pull tables out, you can corrupt data, transactions, all sorts of stuff,"
Lynott said. "I don't know whether or not it was intentionally turmed off or due to incompetence,
but the end result was when I brought it to their attention, I was told to turn it on and not tell
anybody. We were told on so many occasions not to tell anyone anything." Another alleged
incident at GunnAllen involved a database that had been set to disable email logging, though
SEC regulations require broker-dealers to retain copies of all emails for seven years. "For email,
they did all the transaction logging, where they'd send all mail incoming and outgoing and they'd
log it all offsite," Lynott said. "There was a point in time for probably two months where no
one's email was logged. I brought it up in a meeting once and was told to shut up [by the acting
CIO]," he said. "The protocol from the CIO was to shut your mouth, don't say anything, and just
brush it under the rug," Lynott said.
The former acting ClO of GunnAllen didn't respond to our requests for comment, sent via
LinkedIn. Revere Group officials didn't respond to our request for the former CIO's current
contact information. Microsoft Threatens Shutdown Not all of GunnAllen's alleged IT missteps
had SEC implications. One incident detailed by two former employees involved unpaid
Microsoft SQL Server licenses. The Revere Group had been receiving from Microsoft license-
4. renewal bills for GunnAllen, which the acting CIO had ignored, according to the two former
employees. Ultimately, Microsoft issued a final warning with a bill for about $20,000, saying it
would disable the license at a specified date and time. "It was like an hour or two before the
deadline--before Microsoft shuts the SQL servers down, which would bring GunnAllen to its
knees," Saccavino recalled. That ultimatum led one of DiMarzio's employees to contact
Microsoft and share GunnAllen's licensing details. But two former employees say the acting CIO
at the time, when given the licensing news and bill by the employee, threatened to fire the
employee if he spoke of the matter again. In another incident, DiMarzio relates that an internal
network project plan he first delivered in the spring of 2005 to help GunnAllen comply with the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act was dismissed by the acting CIO. When, in January 2006, DiMarzio heard
that he was to be replaced, he reached out to a GunnAllen executive for perspective on the matter
and was allegedly told that the acting CIO's incentive plan included a bonus tied to the longevity
of the SOX project. DiMarzio says he also heard at the time that multiple GunnAllen executives,
fed up with the pace of the SOX work, were calling for The Revere Group's contract to be
canceled. DiMarzio said he immediately held a conference call with a Revere Group HR official,
as well as the acting CIO's boss at The Revere Group, to bring the concerns to their attention. He
also requested that the meeting participants not identify him to the acting CIO as the source of
the information. But the next week, DiMarzio said, he was called into the acting CIO's office and
told to sign a resignation letter in exchange for receiving severance benefits. DiMarzio said he
signed the letter and never looked back. In September 2008, Sago said, he too was dismissed by
The Revere Group. Revere ascribed the layoff to declining market conditions, though Sago said
that after strong work reviews during his 11 years with the company, he was offered only two
weeks of severance pay instead of the standard two weeks per year of employment. Sago rejected
the severance offer, filed a civil action for harassment, retaliation, and unfair treatment, and
entered into arbitration with his former employer in October 2009 , at which time he says he
learned about the home router incident, among other IT incidents. Ultimately, Sago and The
Revere Group settled out of court. Regulatory Sanctions GunnAllen's IT failures paralleled larger
business problems. Formerly known as Napex Financial Corp., GunnAllen was founded in 1996
by Donald Gunn and Richard "Allen" Frueh. GunnAllen
provided a place for brokers and dealers, who must be associated with a FINRA member firm in
order to trade, to hang their shingle. But by 2008 , senior members of the firm had come under
fire for not properly vetting those brokers or monitoring what they were doing in the name of
GunnAllen. Notably, 2008 was when FINRA fined GunnAllen $750,000 for a "trade allocation
scheme" conducted by former head trader Alexis J. Rivera. "In 2002 and 2003 , the firm, acting
through Rivera, engaged in a 'cherry picking' scheme in which Rivera allocated profitable stock
5. trades to his wife's personal account instead of to the accounts of firm customers," according to
FINRA. "Rivera garnered improper profits of more than $270,000 through this misconduct,
which violated the anti-fraud provisions of the federal securities laws and FINRA rules. Rivera
was barred in December 2006." FINRA accused GunnAllen's investment division of doing
business with companies, then failing to inform the broker-dealer's own compliance department
that those companies should be placed on a restricted or watch list for investments, as is required
by the agency. FINRA also said the brokerage failed to safeguard non-public information in its
investment division, meaning that other employees could have profited from insider information.
Finally, FINRA accused GunnAllen of "failing to preserve emails and instant messages." A lack
of top-down oversight of Michigan-based GunnAllen broker Frank Bluestein ultimately led to
the firm's demise. Bluestein resold investments on behalf of Ed May, who FINRA said "created
and marketed unregistered investments" to an estimated 1,500 investors under the company he
ran, E-M Management Co., LLC. In 2007, the SEC charged May with fraud, for allegedy
running a Ponzi scheme focused on a fictitious Las Vegas casino and fake telecommunications
equipment and leasing deals that took in more than $250 million before being discovered and
stopped. In 2009, the SEC also charged Bluestein with fraud. According to the SEC complaint,
from 2002 to 2007 Bluestein ran seminars that "lured elderly investors into refinancing the
mortgages on their homes," ultimately recruiting about 800 investors and securing $74 million in
investments. In April 2011, May plead guilty to 59 counts of mail fraud, received a 16-year
prison sentence, and was ordered to pay a $250,000 fine. Bluestein, however, denied all
knowledge of the Ponzi scheme, citing in his defense that he'd personally purchased the
investments being sold by May. Regardless, GunnAllen faced a volley of investor lawsuits after
the SEC's 2009 allegations. By March 2010, FINRA found that GunnAllen no longer had
sufficient net capital to trade and closed the firm, leading to the layoff of 400 employees. By
November 2010, GunnAllen had been liquidated. First-Ever Standalone SEC Privacy Fine
Although GunnAllen went bankrupt, regulators weren't done with it. The SEC in 2011 accused
two former employees--president Frederick O. Kraus and national sales manager David C.
Levine-of having inappropriately used GunnAllen customer data, and it fined them each
$20,000. The SEC also slammed GunnAllen's former chief compliance officer, Mark A. Ellis,
for having failed to put in place or enforce proper policies and procedures for protecting
customer information. It fined Ellis $15,000. The agency noted that the broker-dealer's written
policies were "vague" and turned out to be little more than a rewording of the actual SEC
regulations. As for the alleged security breaches related to InformationWeek by the former
Revere Group employees, a 2010 SEC enforcement action against former GunnAllen executives
detailed multiple security incidents, but not the full extent of the breaches alleged by the former
6. employees, which included at least one missing laptop containing financial information.
Likewise, the home router incident didn't even come to light until 2009, one year after FINRA
fined GunnAllen. New SEC Violations Emerge In June 2011 , Sago detailed the additional
security violations in a six-page letter to the SECs Miami office, which had conducted the
GunnAllen investigation. The agency's associate director of enforcement in Miami, who was in
charge of the investigation, didn't respond to multiple calls and emails seeking comment on
Sago's allegations, whether the investigation was still open, or whether the additional revelations
might lead to any new fines or sanctions against current or fommer employees of GunnAllen or
The Revere Group. A spokeswoman for the SEC, reached by phone, declined to comment on any
of those questions. In the bigger picture, it's unclear where the SEC was during all of this
activity. "How is it that GunnAllen was an examined entity and they had no security policy?"
said independent privacy expert Andrew M. Smith, an attorney at Morrison & Foerster. "Say
you're 25 years old, recently graduated college, you're an SEC inspector, what's the first thing
you're going to do? You're going to ask for their policies and procedures, and when you see that
it takes up less than a quarter of a page, there's going to be something wrong." Of course, that
perspective assumes that the SEC or FINRA had in fact audited GunnAllen's compliance. "Is it
possible that they never examined this broker-dealer? If so, that's fair enough," Smith says. In
fact, it's not clear if FINRA or the SEC ever audited GunnAllen's policies before they began their
relevant enforcement actions, or whether the additional security violation revelations detailed by
Sago in mid-2011 might lead the agencies to reopen their investigation. Officials at both FINRA
and the SEC declined to comment on any examinations or audits their agencies may have
conducted of GunnAllen. But FINRA's publicly accessible records for GunnAllen make no
mention of the agency having audited or examined the company before evidence of the Ponzi
scheme emerged. What could have been done to help the SEC spot brokerages with poor IT
policies? In 2008, the agency proposed amendments to Regulation S-P, also known as the
Safeguard Rule, to increase customer data protection requirements for the businesses it regulates.
According to Chris Wolf, an attorney who directs law firm Hogan Lovells' privacy and
information management practice. these include requiring "a written security program,
identification of specific employees to run it,
identification of documentation for reasonably foreseeable security risks, as well as
implementation of safeguards for managing those risks, as well as training, oversight, and so on,
including for providers." Wolf added, "It would also have a data breach notification obligation,
which currently does not exist." But those proposed amendments have remained stalled since
they were first proposed in March 2008. An SEC spokeswoman declined to comment on the
status of the proposed Reg S-P amendments, or whether the agency is still backing them. Life
7. After GunnAllen Knowing what they now know, would the Revere Group IT employees who
worked at GunnAllen have done anything differently? "Things probably should have been told
directly to GunnAllen, but we were in such fear of keeping our jobs," Lynott said. "Looking back
and thinking back now, I probably would have gone back and told the GunnAllen people. But
they may already have known." Ultimately, Lynott said, he quit The Revere Group. "I got to the
point where I morally couldn't go to work anymore," he said. One week after he left, he heard
that the network engineer who'd allegedly sabotaged the IT systems was fired. Saccavino,
meanwhile, said he suspects GunnAllen had no idea what was happening in the IT department.
"They weren't told the whole truth, and I don't think they were told even part of the truth," he
said. "Shame on them for not having a check and balance in place, but you can't blame them for
being the victim." Smith, the privacy expert, offered four takeaways for any company that
outsources its IT department: "One, you need to do your due diligence up front so you know that
your service provider can keep this safe. Two, you need to have contractual obligations that
allow you to keep this data safe, and audit that. Three, monitor so you know it's safe. And four, if
there's unauthorized access, have your service provider notify you promptly."
