22.01.2022 Zoom... Zoom looks like a great product but every day I'm appreciating more and more we decided on Teams. Just seems like issue after issue for Zoom the past few weeks. From what I can remember... - Illegally sharing data to Facebook... - Temporarily disabled file sharing due to a security flaw - Account hacking was stupidly easy and only fixed a few days ago. If you knew an accounts email address you could gain access. That's literally all you needed. - Windows credential theft vulnerability by sending UNC links - Their end-to-end encryption claims to use AES-256. Researchers found it only uses AES-128 and a poor implementation of it. - When they say end-to-end encryption this doesn't mean from client to client like you would expect. It means from client to Zoom server then from Zoom server back to client. This means Zoom have the ability to decrypt any meeting/chat/file transfer etc if forced by a government. - As always, China were involved. Researchers found Zoom traffic routing through Chinese servers even when all participants were in the USA. This is even more concerning when you consider the previous point of decrypting traffic. In their credit, most of these issues were fixed very quickly after discovery. Unfortunately end to end encryption is still an issue and it doesn't sound like they are going to resolve it anytime soon. Then you have to consider why all these have either banned or strongly advised against using Zoom Google NASA SpaceX US Senate New York Department of Education Taiwan Government German Foreign Ministry Australian Department of Defence

12.01.2022 One may of heard on the news or Internet the term "Ransomware" This is when attackers infiltrate a system - usually via an employee clicking on an infected word or .PDF document sent via email. The attachment may seem innocuous, though once executed it injects malware into the system. Then spreads it's tentacles through the entire network and encrypts all system data. Ransomware is a form of malware that encrypts a victim's files. The attacker then demands a ransom from the... victim to restore access to the data upon payment. Users are shown instructions for how to pay a fee to get the decryption key. The costs can range from a few hundred dollars to thousands, payable to cyber-criminals in Bitcoin. Never pay to these Cyber-Criminals, they either decrypt the data partially or not at all. Once one is hit, there are methods to repair - but is a lengthy and $$$ process. That is why it is of utmost importance to have at least a weekly backup of system data. Below is a guide on Ransomware explained in full :) Stay Safe!

06.01.2022 Spearfishing, Phishing, & Vishing what the heck are they? -x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-xx-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x- Phishing schemes typically involve a victim being tricked into giving up information that can be later used in some kind of scam. ... The information is often sought through an email, a phone call (voice phishing or vishing), or a text message (SMS phishing or smishing). Phishing is a very common element in many types of internet scams that can target thousands of people at once in the hopes that one or two will be fooled. HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF- -Avoid opening suspicious attachments or links -Don't supply personal information -Have a strong password policy -Check any emails for suspicious "red flags" - meaning incorrect grammar, low quality logos, fake URLS (web page links) - Use 2FA - Two Factor Authentication wherever possible ie $$ such as banking PayPal or any eCommerce sites. Once a hacker has successfully infiltrated one system, if on a network they can spread their tentacles out to other systems. This can be done via accessing the contacts via the email. Then spreading out the hack to other systems on the network. They have total control then. They can also send out a "Ransomware" hack, this will usually be attached to a .PDF or Word doc. When opened it will initiate a script and execute the Trojan over the entire network. This will encrypt all data across systems. The hacker will demand a ransom of xxxx amount of Bitcoins to decrypt the data. The hacker usually never decrypts data, if they do some files are corrupted if not all. Lock down Social media accounts - as in photos, friends etc. Hackers love to glean personal info of users to socially reverse engineer user accounts. As they can see whom your friends are on social media and use that against you. -x-x Take care and stay safe x-x-

04.01.2022 With the recent attacks it seems a "state" is using the methods of Sun Tzu's - Art of War 4 principles - [Sun Tzu's The Art of War is a Chinese military treatise that is still revered today as the ultimate commentary on war and military strategy. Focusing on the principle that one can outsmart your foe mentally by thinking very carefully about strategy before resorting to physical battle} 1.In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy's country whol...e and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good. 2.Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting 3. Thus the highest form of generalship is to balk the enemy's plans; the next best is to prevent the junction of the enemy's forces; the next in order is to attack the enemy's army in the field. 4. Avoid besieging walled cities. The attacks are using what is called "Spearfishing". This works by the attacker sending emails to systems. Then when the user opens them it then steals the users logon password and infiltrates the network. This is principle 2 in the Art of war. Business are recommended to update - MIS [Microsoft Information Services - link here : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx, SharePoint and Citrix.
