Cyber attack hits speed cameras
Lost in the
showdown between President Trump and James B. Comey that played out this past
week was a chilling threat to the United States. Mr. Comey, the former director
of the F.B.I., testified that the Russians had not only intervened in last
year’s election, but would try to do it again. “It’s not a Republican thing or
Democratic thing — it really is an American thing,” Mr. Comey told the Senate
Intelligence Committee. “They’re going to come for (Russians remember well what Stalin taught them ... It is those who count votes that really count - not those who cast the votes) whatever party they choose
to try and work on behalf of. And they’re not devoted to either, in my
experience. They’re just about their own advantage. And they will be back.” Trump-Comey Feud Eclipses a Warning on Russia: ‘They Will Be Back’
The office of the European Public Prosecutor promises a new era has dawned in the EU for fighting financial crime New Europe. Micael: “Sounds great but all depends on what is criminalized. Doesn’t look like they are focusing on anything systemic. Does VAT have effect of paralyze the economy like the banks in 2008?”

As U.S.
Cyber Command continues to mature its workforce, operations and tactics, so too
are allied nations, some of which are also standing up cyber commands. Just as
the U.S. enjoys information sharing, intelligence sharing and cooperative
battlefield integration with friendly international forces, the it is seeking
to do the same in cyberspace. CYBERCOM is currently working on a concept of
operations draft about defensive cyber ops with the Five Eyes nations, which
includes the U.K., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Brig. Gen. Maria Barrett,
deputy of operations J-3 at CYBERCOM, at a June keynote address hosted by
AFCEA’s Northern Virginia Chapter announced the development of the draft. “This
included a tabletop exercise with the participants to better understand the
friction point when it came to how we might operate in defensive operations
together,” she said.

Researchers
have detected a brazen attack on restaurants across the United States that uses
a relatively new technique to keep its malware undetected by virtually all
antivirus products on the market. Malicious code used in so-called fileless
attacks resides almost entirely in computer memory, a feat that prevents it
from leaving the kinds of traces that are spotted by traditional antivirus
scanners. Once the sole province of state-sponsored spies casing the highest
value targets, the in-memory techniques are becoming increasingly common in
financially motivated hack attacks. They typically make use of commonly used
administrative and security-testing tools such as PowerShell, Metasploit, and
Mimikatz, which attackers use to feed malicious commands to targeted computers.
FIN7, an established hacking group with ties to the Carbanak Gang, is among the
converts to this new technique, researchers from security firm Morphisec
reported in a recently published blog post.

Those on the
front lines of the cybersecurity workforce crisis are dogged by one question
above all others: how to recruit and retain the highly technically skilled
personnel they need. Now, thanks to the SANS Institute, they have some fresh
answers — at least in the government contracting sector. The institute, an
information-security training provider and research clearinghouse, analyzed a
list of the top 100 U.S. government contractors, and identified the eight
companies which score highest on two indices reflecting metrics developed by
the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank last year. The
eight firms are all major U.S. defense and intelligence contractors,
called systems integrators because they build IT and other business systems for
the government by assembling hardware, software and services from multiple
vendors. According to the SANS analysis, the eight companies have had
“remarkable success” in recruiting and retaining the highly technically skilled
individuals that the CSIS report dubbed “cyber ninjas.”

NEXT time you go to do something nefarious with a printer from work, you might want to think again because your actions might be much more traceable than you think.
Even if you somehow manage to escape leaving the obvious digital footprint that comes from using a printer connected to your work computer, there is a way your actions could be tracked. The revelation was first revealed around 2004 when senior research fellow at Xerox Peter Crean told about tiny yellow dots tucked around the words and margins on every document.
Xerox was not the only company to use microdots, with the Electronic Frontier Foundation holding a list of colour printers implementing the technology
