Internet News Abney and Associates Blog Oracle korjaa 42 reikiä Java estää cyber hakkerointi
Internet News Abney and Associates Blog San Francisco: Oracle Corp. julkaisi suuret tietoturvapäivityksen tiistaina version Java ohjelmointikieli, joka kulkee sisällä Web-selaimet, jotta se vähemmän suosittu kohde hakkereille. Korjaustiedosto korjaa 42 heikkouksia Java, kuten "valtaosa" ne, jotka on luokiteltu kriittisenä, sanoi Oracle varatoimitusjohtaja Hasan Rizvi. Sarjan suuri tietoturva-aukkoja Java-plugin selaimille on paljastunut viime vuonna tutkijat ja hakkerit, ja jotkut käyttää rikollisryhmien ennen edellisiä korjaustiedostoja on myönnetty. Yksi hakkerointi kampanjalla ilmaista tänä vuonna tartunnan tietokoneiden Microsoft Corp: n Windows- ja Apple software sisällä satoja yrityksiä, kuten Facebook Inc., omena osakeyhtiö ja Twitter. Tilanne kasvoi niin huono aiemmin tänä vuonna Yhdysvaltain Department of Homeland Security suositellaan, että tietokoneen käyttäjät poistaa Java selaimen. Mutta monet suuret yritykset käyttävät sisäinen ohjelmisto, joka perustuu Java ja painamalla Oracle tekee kielen turvallisempaa.
Internet News Abney and Associates Blog Ehkä merkittävin muutos on, että oletusasetus, sivustoja ei voi pakottaa pieniä ohjelmia kutsutaan sovelmat käyttää selaimessa, jos ne on allekirjoitettu digitaalisesti. Käyttäjät voivat ohittaa, että vain, jos ne sitten tunnustaa riski, Rizvi sanoi. Ei kaikki ongelmat vahvistetaan nykyinen patch, mutta ongelmia ei ole unpatched jotka ovat hyökkäyksissä, Rizvi sanoi. Ensisijaisesti tietokannan ohjelmistot ja sovellukset yritys, Oracle peri Java, kun se osti Sun Microsystemsin vuonna 2010. Se on yhtiön suurin altistuminen massamarkkinoille, koska versiot Java on ajaa pöydälle, puhelimet ja muut laitteet ja palvelimia. Selaimen versio on ollut erityisen alttiita turvallisuusongelmia. Viime vuonna, Java ylitti Adobe Systems Inc lukuohjelma kuin eniten usein hyökkäsi ohjelmisto, mukaan tietoturva-ohjelmisto ehtiä Kaspersky Lab.
Internet News Abney and Associates Blog Java oli 50 % kaikki verkkohyökkäykset viime vuonna, jossa hakkerit murtautui tietokoneet hyödyntämällä ohjelmistovirheitä, mukaan Kaspersky. Sitä seurasi Adobe Reader, joka osallistui 28 % kaikista tapahtumista. Microsoft Windowsin ja Internet Explorerin osallistuivat noin 3 % tapauksista, tutkimuksen mukaan. Vaikka ei ole korkean profiilin Oracle Asiakkaat ovat julkisesti uhanneet desert yhtiön turvallisuusasioita, Rizvi tunnustaa huolissaan. "Oli aika noloa, mitä tapahtui Facebook-iskujen", sanoi IDC analyytikko Al Hilwa. "Se on taistelua Java plug-in: n elämästä. Monet yritykset aikovat poistaa ne käytöstä tai he joutuvat niiden luottamuksen.”

Abney Associates-Effect

http://www.abney.com/abneyeffect.html The Abney effect describes the perceived hue shift that occurs when white light is added to a monochromatic light source. The addition of white light will cause a desaturation of the monochromatic source, as perceived by the human eye. However, a less intuitive effect of the white light addition that is perceived by the human eye is the change in the dominant wavelength that dictates which color is observed, or change in hue. This simultaneous hue shift phenomenon cannot be measured by experimental instruments; it is only discernible in the eye. This variance of hue as a result of the addition of white light was first described by the English chemist and physicist Sir William de Wiveleslie Abney in 1909, although the date is commonly reported as 1910. A white light source is created by the combination of red light, blue light, and green light. Sir Abney demonstrated that the cause of the apparent change in hue was the red light and green light that comprise the white light, and the blue light component of white light had no contribution to the Abney effect.

Micron News Blog, Micron and Associates Reviews: Med diet

http://www.stuff.co.nz/life-style/wellbeing/8352578/Med-diet-has-been-proven-healthy Pour on the olive oil, preferably over fish and vegetables: One of the longest and most scientific tests of a Mediterranean diet suggests this style of eating can cut the chance of suffering heart-related problems, especially strokes, in older people at high risk of them The study lasted five years and involved about 7,500 people in Spain. Those who ate Mediterranean-style with lots of olive oil or nuts had a 30 percent lower risk of major cardiovascular problems compared to those who were told to follow a low-fat diet but who in reality, didn't cut fat very much. Mediterranean meant lots of fruit, fish, chicken, beans, tomato sauce, salads and wine. Mediterranean diets have long been touted as heart-healthy, but that's based on observational studies that can't prove the point. The new research is much stronger because people were assigned diets to follow for a long time and carefully monitored. Doctors even did lab tests to verify that the Mediterranean diet subjects were consuming more olive oil or nuts as recommended. Most of these people were taking medicines for high cholesterol and blood pressure, and researchers did not alter those proven treatments, said one study leader, Dr. Ramon Estruch of Hospital Clinic in Barcelona. But as a first step to prevent heart problems, "we think diet is better than a drug" because it has few if any side effects, Estruch said. "Diet works." Results were published online Monday by the New England Journal of Medicine and were discussed at a nutrition conference in Loma Linda, California. People in the study were not given rigid menus or calorie goals because weight loss was not the aim. That could be why they found the "diets" easy to stick with - only about 7 percent dropped out within two years.

Internet Warning Abney and Associates Article: Symantec warn

http://www.v3.co.uk/v3-uk/news/2262195/symantec-warns-on-credit-card-security-phishing-scam Symantec has uncovered a cyber scam duping victims into handing over their financial information using a bogus security guidance web page. The security firm reported uncovering the phishing scam in a blog post on Wednesday. The scam targets its victims using a bogus message masquerading as a security alert from a legitimate, unnamed credit card service provider. "In March, we discovered a phishing site spoofing a popular credit card services company that asked users for confidential information, allegedly for additional security," wrote Symantec's Mathew Maniyara. The message instructed its victims to disclose sensitive banking information that could be used by the attackers to illegally access their finances. "The phishing site prompts users through a three-step procedure for activating their card and adding higher security. The first step asks users for personal and card-related information," wrote Maniyara. "The personal information includes the users' name, date of birth, residential address, phone number, and email address. The card information includes name of bank, name on card, card number, expiration date, and card verification code." Phishing scams and attacks on the financial sector are a growing problem facing the security industry.

http://gigaom.com/2013/05/16/the-web-giants-are-rising-above-humans-and-their-petty-rules-and-that-worries-me/ The titans of the web are rebels, playing by their own rules. That is to be applauded at times, but we should also be thinking about the wider, long-term implications for society and fair competition. I read a great Tumblr post today. No idea who wrote it, but it’s an expression of extreme annoyance with Google, PayPal and other online behemoths that have grown way beyond the “startup” stage but that still don’t provide proper, human customer support because it’s hard to scale at low cost. “It’s easy to make big money when you get to keep all the profits,” the Glass Balcony post points out, before complaining about the impact of these low-outlay ways on real people: “Relying on automated support systems is no longer adequate. As the amount of online fraud grows over the years, automated systems are becoming less efficient. There is no accurate measure for that, however it’s anecdotally known that it’s more common nowadays for Google to shut down perfectly well-standing and long-standing AdSense accounts for invalid activity without providing the actual reasons for shutdown. Ditto for PayPal withholding the funds of customers.” Related Videos: http://www.scribd.com/abney_and_associates http://vimeo.com/62483704

Hackers by Abney and Associates Internet Technology Blog

Internet Trolls, Scammers and Hackers Targeted by New Gloucestershire Cyber Crime Squad A NEW team is being set up to crackdown on cyber crime in Gloucestershire, including harassment on social media sites, hacking and internet fraud. Gloucestershire Police will be identifying and training a specialist network of its officers to combat the growing number of offences committed on the internet in the county. New figures reveal there were hundreds of internet fraud and other online offences against victims in Gloucestershire in the last ten months. The statistics show 89 people or businesses fell prey to hackers and 240 people were targeted by fraudsters on internet auction sites between April and December last year. IN addition, the number of people making reports of offences in which social media sites were mentioned, which typically include allegations of harassment, increased from 55 in 2010 to 2011 to 78 in 2012 to 2013. Between April and December in 2013, there were 75 offences involving computer software such as malware and viruses, 100 offences of computer software service fraud and 12 dating scam offences and seven lottery scams. Detective chief superintendent Bernie Kinsella said cybercrime was right at the top of the force’s agenda because of the increased number of offences and the impact it was having on society. “You just have to look at the number of people affected right here in Gloucestershire to realise how big a concern this is,” he said.

Data Breach Abney and Associates on Phishing Scams News

MUNCIE — If you did any Christmas shopping at Target, you’ve probably had at least twinges of concern with each new report of the fallout from hackers having stolen credit and debit card information from the store’s files during that period.Customer names, mailing addresses, phone numbers or email addresses for up to 70 million people were stolen from the retail chain’s system in a breach discovered in mid-December, according to the Target website.In addition to keeping an eye out for suspicious charges on their accounts, consumers are being warned of another potential attack stemming from the information theft.STAR Financial Bank last week sent out a warning about email phishing scams related to the data breach. “Phishing attacks use spoofed e-mails (messages from forged addresses, often made to look as if they come from a bank, online retailer or similar business) and fraudulent websites designed to fool recipients into divulging personal financial data,” a release from STAR stated.Almost anyone using email probably gets the occasional suspicious message purportedly from a bank, business or social media site “checking” on their personal or account information. But those whose information was stolen in the Target data break could be particular targets for current phishing attempts, warned Michael Krouse, STAR’s information security officer.The American Bankers Association and STAR offer these tips for avoiding becoming the victim of a phishing scam:• If you have responded to a spoofed email, contact your bank immediately so they can protect your account and identity.• Never give out your personal or financial information in response to an unsolicited phone call, fax or email, no matter how official it seems.• Do not respond to emails that warn of dire consequences unless you validate your information immediately.
