Here's something I hear quite a bit when talking about security things: Our site isn't a target, it doesn't have anything valuable on it. This is usually the retort that comes back in defence of some pretty shady practices and in the mind of the defendant, it's a perfectly reasonable position. They don't collect any credentials, they don't have any payment info and in many cases, the site is simply a static representation of content that rarely changes.
In this paper, we present the first longitudinal measurement study of the underground ecosystem fueling credential theft and assess the risk it poses to millions of users. Over the course of March, 2016–March, 2017, we identify 788,000 potential victims of off-theshelf keyloggers; 12.4 million potential victims of phishing kits; and 1.9 billion usernames and passwords exposed via data breaches and traded on blackmarket forums.

Originally published on CSO. While scientists may rejoice at the idea of large-scale quantum computing, CISOs are right to feel nervous. The advent of large-scale quantum computing promises huge advances in multiple fields, as certain difficult problems become much easier to solve. While progress in developing quantum computers moves in fits and starts (and some well-respected experts doubt we will ever see a large-scale implementation), the prospect of a sudden breakthrough cannot be taken ligh

There's a new criminal tactic involving hacking an e-mail account of a company that handles high-value transactions and diverting payments. Here it is in real estate : The scam generally works like this: Hackers find an opening into a title company's or realty agent's email account, track upcoming home purchases scheduled for settlements -- the pricier the better -- then assume the identity of the title agency person handling the transaction.

It's a lot more chemistry than I understand: Invisible inks based on "smart" fluorescent materials have been shining brightly (if only you could see them) in the data-encryption/decryption arena lately. But some of the materials are costly or difficult to prepare, and many of these inks remain somewhat visible when illuminated with ambient or ultraviolet light.
How many people would you trust with your house keys? Chances are, you have a handful of trusted friends and family members who have an emergency copy, but you definitely wouldn’t hand those out too freely. You have stuff that’s worth protecting—and the more people that have access to your belongings, the higher the odds that something will go missing.
Some people believe that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the ability to amplify our natural human intelligence, as long as it remains in good hands. Let’s take a closer look at AI and how it can benefit – or negatively influence – our lives in the near future. Artificial intelligence is progressing at a rapid pace and we often associate it with science fiction movies where we see robots performing human-like tasks.
This is a pilot project in Australia: Individuals who have shared intimate, nude or sexual images with partners and are worried that the partner (or ex-partner) might distribute them without their consent can use Messenger to send the images to be "hashed." This means that the company converts the image into a unique digital fingerprint that can be used to identify and block any attempts to re-upload that same image.
In a recent study, IDC found that 64% of organizations said they were already using open source in software development with a further 25% planning to in the next year. Most organizations are unaware of just how much open-source code is used and underestimate their dependency on it. As enterprises grow the use of open-source software, they face a new challenge: understanding the scope of open-source software that's being used throughout the organization and the corresponding exposure.
In order to talk about any specialized field of knowledge, you need a common language with agreed upon terms, definitions and some level of accepted industry standards. Cybersecurity is no different. But as the industry has evolved, this critical foundational concept has somehow taken a backseat. As both the public and private sector embrace digital transformation and face an increasingly sophisticated threat scape, presidential executive orders have sought to remedy that problem.
