A company known for backup shuts down after their AWS account gets hacked, the Hedge fund thats under attack, how far you can get with a little cab data…

Your questions, our answers, and much, much more!

Thanks to:

— Show Notes: —

Company shuts down after their AWS account compromised, all customer data deleted

• Code Spaces, a source code hosting and backup service has ceased doing business
• On June 17th the company came under a DDoS attack, which is apparently business as normal for them
• Later, they found messages in their Amazon Web Services portal, urging them to contact a hotmail address
• When contacted, the attacker demanded a large ransom
• When Code Spaces attempted to change their passwords in the AWS control panel, additional administrator accounts added by the attacker were used to delete all EC2 virtual machines, S3 stores and EBS volumes in the account before all accessed could be revoked
• The most embarrassing part of the situation is the text on the original Code Spaces website:
  “Backing up data is one thing, but it is meaningless without a recovery plan, not only that [but also] a recovery plan—and one that is well-practiced and proven to work time and time again,” “Code Spaces has a full recovery plan that has been proven to work and is, in fact, practiced.”
• It is not clear what the Code Spaces backup strategy was, but it seemed to involve the same Amazon account
• In general, the idea with an “offsite” backup is to separate it from a failure of the primary. If you keep the backups for your database beside the database server and your office burns down, what good are the backups
• What if Amazon suffered a catastrophic data loss? or what if your account is compromised?
• The backups should have at least been in a different Amazon account that was very strictly controlled, or better yet, stored in some other service
• It is still unclear how the account was compromised, but it seems likely that Code Spaces was not making use of the Amazon’s Multi-Factor Authentication service, which offers either a mobile phone app, or two different types of hardware authenticators (key fob and credit-card style)

Poorly anonymized NYC Taxi data, de-anonymized

• Under an Open Data initiative, the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission released the anonymized GPS logs of all taxi trips in 2013 (173 million trips)
• Chris Whong got a hold of this data and did some interesting stuff with it
• When he was done with it, he posted the data for everyone
• Developer Vijay Pandurangan took a look at the data and noticed that the medallion and hack numbers appeared to simply be MD5 hashes
• In particular, the driver with ID# CFCD208495D565EF66E7DFF9F98764DA appeared to have an impossibly large number of trips
• Turns out, that is the MD5 hash of “0”, cases where the data was unavailable
• Realizing that the data was only anonymized using MD5, and knowing the structure of a drivers license # (5-7 characters, with specific characters being numbers or letters), he was able to brute force all 24 million combinations in only 2 minutes using a single CPU
• Once this was done, he had the original un-anonymized data
• Using other websites, it is possible to link the medallion and hack numbers to the owners names
• Original Post
• Additional Coverage – Ars Technica
• To prevent this, there are a number of approaches, the fastest but weakest is a ‘secret key’. Instead of md5(hack#) just do md5(SUPERLONGSECRETKEYhack#), as long as the attacker doesn’t know the secret key, and it is long enough to make guessing it impractical, the data would remain anonymized
• Another option is to use the md5 hash of the encrypted form of the value. However this eventually just relies on a secret key as well. However, if the data never needs to be anonymized, a very strong key can be used, and that key can then be destroyed, making decryption impossible.

Hackers attack hedge fund for monetary gain

• BAE systems, a British defense contractor that also specializes in cyber security, was called in to investigate after computers at a hedge fund were hacked
• The attackers somehow infiltrated the HFT (High Frequency Trading) system, and injected delays of several hundred microseconds into the order entry system
• This causes the Hedge Fund to miss out on profits it could have made on the trades
• It is suspected, that the attackers capitalized on this to make those profits themselves
• “Hedge funds “really have inadequate cybersecurity as a whole” and the attacks threaten to undermine the systems used globally for high-speed trading, said Tom Kellerman, chief cyber security officer for Trend Micro Inc. ”

FreeBSD 10 as a firewall

• Back in 2012, the author of this site wrote an article stating you should avoid FreeBSD 9 for a firewall and use OpenBSD instead
• Now, with the release of 10.0, he\’s apparently changed his mind and switched back over
• It mentions the SMP version of pf, general performance advantages and more modern features
• The author is a regular listener of BSD Now, hi Joe!

Network Noise Reduction Using Free Tools

• Really long blog post, based on a BSDCan presentation, about fighting spam with OpenBSD
• Peter Hansteen, author of the book of PF, goes through how he uses OpenBSD\’s spamd and other security features to combat spam and malware
• He goes through his experiences with content filtering and disappointment with a certain proprietary vendor
• Not totally BSD-specific, lots of people can enjoy the article – lots of virus history as well

FreeBSD ASLR patches submitted

• So far, FreeBSD hasn\’t had Address Space Layout Randomization
• ASLR is a nice security feature, see wikipedia for more information
• With a giant patch from Shawn Webb, it might be integrated into a future version (after a vicious review from the security team of course)
• We might have Shawn on the show to talk about it, but he\’s also giving a presentation at BSDCan about his work with ASLR

Old-style pkg_ tools retired

• At last the old pkg_add tools are being retired in FreeBSD
• pkgng is a huge improvement, and now portmgr@ thinks it\’s time to cut the cord on the legacy toolset
• Ports aren\’t going away, and probably never will, but for binary package fans and new users that are used to things like apt, pkgng is the way to go
• All pkg_ tools will be considered unsupported on September 1, 2014 – even on older branches

Every Important Person In Bitcoin Just Got Subpoenaed By New York\’s Financial Regulator

• New York State to investigate \’Wild West\’ Bitcoin industry • The Register

An official told the Associated Press that 22 subpoenas have been issued in all, seeking information on such topics as what measures Bitcoin companies may have taken to prevent money laundering, and what kind of consumer protections might be available for Bitcoin investors.

\”If virtual currencies remain a virtual Wild West for narcotraffickers and other criminals, that would not only threaten our country\’s national security, but also the very existence of the virtual currency industry as a legitimate business enterprise,\” Benjamin Lawsky, who heads the New York Department of Financial Services, said in a memo accompanying the subpoenas on Monday.

• Every Important Person In Bitcoin Just Got Subpoenaed By New York\’s Financial Regulator – Forbes

\”We believe that — for a number of reasons — putting in place appropriate regulatory safeguards for virtual currencies will be beneficial to the long-term strength of the virtual currency industry,\” said NYSDFS superintendent Benjamin Lawsky in a statement.

Congress appropriations bill directs FBI to launch a federal investigation of Bitcoin as potential means for criminal, terrorist or other illegal activities

• Congress starts looking into Bitcoin

A Senate committee is pressing federal regulators and law enforcement officials to explain how they plan to oversee Bitcoin and other virtual currencies as the issue gains increasing attention from government officials concerned about the role these new markets will play in the future.

The Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee on Monday sent letters to several agencies requesting that they disclose their virtual currency policies, how they developed them, how agencies are coordinating and finally what they plan to do going forward.

• From the bill (page 45):

Money laundering.–The Committee understands that Bitcoins and other forms of peer-to-peer digital currency are a potential means for criminal, terrorist or other illegal organizations and individuals to illegally launder and transfer money. News reports indicate that Bitcoins may have been used to help finance the flight and activity of fugitives. The Committee directs the FBI, in consultation with the Department and other Federal partners, to provide a briefing no later 120 days after the enactment of this Act on the nature and scale of the risk posed by such ersatz currency, both in financing illegal enterprises and in undermining financial institutions. The briefing should describe the FBI efforts in the context of a coordinated Federal response to this challenge, and identify staffing and other resources devoted to this effort.

The Journalistic Source Protection Defence Fund (JSPD) was set up on August 9 with the goal to provide legal as well as campaign aid to journalistic sources. Snowden, who is behind the biggest intelligence leak in the history of the US National Security Agency (NSA), has been selected the first such source.

Android Security Flaw Puts Bitcoin Wallets at Risk

• 55 BTC Stolen Through Security Vulnerability in Android Bitcoin Wallets

SecureRandom is a Java class that generates cryptographically strong random numbers. In order to remain secure the random numbers used to generate private keys must be nondeterministic, meaning that the output of the generator cannot be predicted. Mike Hearn stated in an email to bitcoin developers regarding the Secure Random class on android, \”Android phones/tablets are weak and some signatures have been observed to have colliding R values, allowing the private key to be solved and money to be stolen.\” Bitcoin uses a random number in transaction signatures and if the same random number is reused the private key of the wallet can be determined.

Before the announcement was made, users on the bitcointalk.org forums had noticed over 55 BTC were stolen a few hours after the client improperly signed a transaction using the compromised random number generator. Users observed SecureRandom re-using the same random numbers for multiple transactions, thus compromising the private keys.

• 55 BTC Stolen Through Security Vulnerability in Android Bitcoin Wallets

There are two types of mobile wallets, those where the private keys are generated locally on the phone, and those where private keys are held by a private company. Android wallet apps where keys are generated on the device include: Bitcoin Wallet, BitcoinSpinner, Mycellium Wallet, and Blockchain.info. Blockchain.info has already repaired the vulnerability, Bitcoin Wallet has an update in beta testing, and fixes for BitcoinSpinner and Mycellium are currently in development.

• 55 BTC Stolen Through Security Vulnerability in Android Bitcoin Wallets – The Genesis Block

The announcement on bitcoin.org identified a three step process to secure existing addresses on all other apps:

1. Generate a new address on a secure random number generator.
2. Transfer all existing bitcoins to the new address. Do not send any bitcoins from this address using an Android device until the updates are implemented
3. Notify any users of your old address of the change, so that the compromised address does not receive any more bitcoins.

Did Thailand really ban Bitcoin?

• Did Thailand really ban Bitcoin? Don’t be so sure — Tech News and Analysis

A Thai Bitcoin exchange has suspended operations after failing to win a license from the country\’s central bank. However, the outfit\’s conclusion — that Bitcoin is illegal in Thailand — smells funny.

• Trading suspended due to Bank of Thailand advisement / Bitcoin

At the conclusion of the meeting senior members of the Foreign Exchange Administration and Policy Department advised that due to lack of existing applicable laws, capital controls and the fact that Bitcoin straddles multiple financial facets the following Bitcoin activities are illegal in Thailand:

• Buying Bitcoins
• Selling Bitcoins
• Buying any goods or services in exchange for Bitcoins
• Selling any goods or services for Bitcoins
• Sending Bitcoins to anyone located outside of Thailand
• Receiving Bitcoins from anyone located outside of Thailand

Based on such a broad and encompassing advisement, Bitcoin Co. Ltd. therefore has no choice but to suspend operations until such as time that the laws in Thailand are updated to account for the existance of Bitcoin.

Kickstarter pulls “Bitcoin: The Movie”

Now, Paul Kemp-Robertson walks us through a new generation of currency, supported by that same marketing … but on behalf of a private brand. From Nike Sweat Points to bottles of Tide (which are finding an unexpected use in illegal markets), meet the non-bank future of currencies.

It’s been called a once in a lifetime super storm, we’ll reflect on the media’s coverage of this major event, and we bust the October Surprise rumors that are spreading like wildfire online.

When you think of the fight for control of the Internet, you probably think of SOPA, CISPA, and Net Neutrality. But an International effort is underway and laying on thick rhetoric in an attempt to undermine the open nature of the web, we’ll share the details with you.

Then in ACT3: Your feedback challenges are assumptions, and we respond.

All that and a heck of a lot more, on this week’s Unfilter!
