France Seeks to Sanction Web Companies for Posts Pushing Terror

President Francois Hollande said Tuesday in Paris the government will present a draft law next month that makes Internet operators “accomplices” of hate-speech offenses if they host extremist messages.

Researchers Tie Regin Malware To NSA, Five Eyes Intel Agencies

Researchers at Kaspersky Lab have discovered shared code and functionality between the Regin malware platform and a similar platform described in a newly disclosed set of Edward Snowden documents 10 days ago by Germany’s Der Spiegel. The link, found in a keylogger called QWERTY allegedly used by the so-called Five Eyes, leads them to conclude that the developers of each platform are either the same, or work closely together. “Considering the extreme complexity of the Regin platform and little chance that it can be duplicated by somebody without having access to its source codes, we conclude the QWERTY malware developers and the Regin developers are the same or working together,” wrote Kaspersky Lab researchers Costin Raiu and Igor Soumenkov today in a published report.

Police Organization Wants Cop-Spotting Dropped From Waze App

“The Register reports on a request from the US National Sheriffs’ Association, which “wants Google to block its crowd-sourced traffic app Waze from being able to report the position of police officers, saying the information is putting officer’s lives at risk.” From the article: “‘The police community needs to coordinate an effort to have the owner, Google, act like the responsible corporate citizen they have always been and remove this feature from the application even before any litigation or statutory action,’ AP reports Sheriff Mike Brown, the chairman of the NSA’s technology committee, told the association’s winter conference in Washington….Brown called the app a ‘police stalker,’ and said being able to identify where officers were located could put them at personal risk. Jim Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, said his members had concerns as well. ‘I can think of 100 ways that it could present an officer-safety issue,’ Pasco said. ‘There’s no control over who uses it. So, if you’re a criminal and you want to rob a bank, hypothetically, you use your Waze.'”

DEA cameras tracking hundreds of millions of car journeys across the US

A U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration program to keep tabs on cars close to the U.S.-Mexican border has been gradually expanded nationwide and is regularly used by other law enforcement agencies in their hunt for suspects.

The extent of the system, which is said to contain hundreds of millions of records on motorists and their journeys, was disclosed in documents obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union as part of a Freedom of Information Act request. Much of the information disclosed to the ACLU was undated, making it difficult to understand the growth of the network, which is different from the cameras used to collect traffic tolls on expressways.

Batteries Made With Bulletproof Kevlar Fibers May Never Explode

The researchers at the University of Michigan layered nanofibers extracted from Kevlar on top of each other to create very thin insulating sheets. And it turns out the microscopic pores on this new material are actually far too small to allow the tips of those fern-like dendrite structures to poke through and make contact with other electrodes. Individual lithium-ions can still squeeze through as needed, but nothing else.

Data thieves target parking lots

“Late last year, KrebsOnSecurity wrote that two huge swaths of credit card numbers put up for sale in the cybercrime underground had likely been stolen from Park ‘N Fly and from OneStopParking.com, competing airport parking services that lets customers reserve spots in advance of travel via Internet reservation systems. This week, both companies confirmed that they had indeed suffered a breach.”
“When contacted by Krebs on Dec. 15, Atlanta-based Park ‘N Fly said while it had recently engaged multiple security firms to investigate breach claims, it had not found any proof of an intrusion. In a statement released Tuesday, however, the company acknowledged that its site was hacked and leaking credit card data, but stopped short of saying how long the breach persisted or how many customers may have been affected”
“OneStopParking.com reached via phone this morning, the site’s manager Amer Ghanem said the company recently determined that hackers had broken in to its systems via a vulnerability in Joomla for which patches were made available in Sept. 2014. Unfortunately for OneStopParking.com and its customers, the company put off applying that Joomla update because it broke portions of the site.”
“Unlike card data stolen from main street retailers — which can be encoded onto new plastic and used to buy stolen goods in physical retail stores — cards stolen from online transactions can only be used by thieves for fraudulent online purchases. However, most online carding shops that sell stolen card data in underground stores market both types of cards, known in thief-speak as “dumps” and “CVVs,” respectively.”
“Interestingly, the disclosure timeline for both of these companies would have been consistent with a new data breach notification law that President Obama called for earlier this week. That proposal would require companies to notify consumers about a breach within 30 days of discovering their information has been hacked.”
Krebs also appears to be having fun with the LizzardSquad

Microsoft pushes emergency fixes, blames Google

Microsoft and Adobe both released critical patches this week
“Leading the batch of Microsoft patches for 2015 is a drama-laden update to fix a vulnerability in Windows 8.1 that Google researchers disclosed just two days ago. Google has a relatively new policy of publicly disclosing flaws 90 days after they are reported to the responsible software vendor — whether or not that vendor has fixed the bug yet. That 90-day period elapsed over the weekend, causing Google to spill the beans and potentially help attackers develop an exploit in advance of Patch Tuesday.”
Yahoo recently announced a similar new policy, to disclose all bugs after 90 days
This is the result of too many vendors take far too long to resolve bugs after they are notified
Researchers have found that need to straddle the line between responsible disclosure, and full disclosure, as it is irresponsible to not notify the public when it doesn’t appear as if the vendor is taking the vulnerability seriously.
Microsoft also patched a critical telnet vulnerability
“For its part, Microsoft issued a strongly-worded blog post chiding Google for what it called a “gotcha” policy that leaves Microsoft users in the lurch”
There is also a new Adobe flash to address multiple issues
Krebs notes: “Windows users who browse the Web with anything other than Internet Explorer may need to apply this patch twice, once with IE and again using the alternative browser (Firefox, Opera, e.g.).” because of the way Microsoft bundles flash
Infact, if you use Chrome and Firefox on windows, you’ll need to make sure all 3 have properly updated.

What makes a good security question?

Safe: cannot be guessed or researched
Stable: does not change over time
Memorable: you can remember it
Simple: is precise, simple, consistent
Many: has many possible answers
It is important that the answer not be something that could easily be learned by friending you on facebook or twitter
Some examples:
What is the name of the first beach you visited?
What is the last name of the teacher who gave you your first failing grade?
What is the first name of the person you first kissed?
What was the name of your first stuffed animal or doll or action figure?
Too many of the more popular questions are too easy to research now
Some examples of ones that might not be so good:
- In what town was your first job? (Resume, LinkedIn, Facebook)
- What school did you attend for sixth grade?
- What is your oldest sibling’s birthday month and year? (e.g., January 1900) (Now it isn’t your facebook, but theirs that might be the leak, you can’t control what information other people expose)
Sample question scoring

Shellshock Reaction Overblown?

weev: Dear clueless assholes: stop bashing bash and GNU.

_This is a defense of the most prolific and dedicated public servant that has graced the world in my lifetime. One man has added hundreds of billions, if not trillions of dollars of value to the global economy. This man has worked tirelessly for the benefit of everyone around him. It is impossible to name a publicly traded company that has not somehow benefitted from his contributions, and many have benefitted to the tune of billions. In return for the countless billions of wealth that people made from the fruits of his labor, he was rewarded with poverty and ridicule. Now that the world is done taking from him, they are heading to the next step of villifying him as incompetent.

Another Bird Flu Outbreak

As Bird Flu Spreads In China, The Source Remains A Mystery : Shots – Health News : NPR

Most of the human H7N9 cases have occurred in Shanghai or the surrounding region. But there have been two cases in Beijing, which is nearly 800 miles away from Shanghai.

Most people infected have been hospitalized with severe respiratory problems and 17 have died. But Hartl says there have been a handful of mild cases. \”At least one person wasn\’t hospitalized.\” And, one boy in Beijing tested positive for the virus but showed no symptoms at all.

Boston Bombing

A camera shot first moments after deadly explosions in Boston, Massachusetts. At least three people, including an eight-year-old, have been killed and more than a hundred injured after two explosions hit the finish line of the Boston Marathon.

There is conflicting information as to whether someone has been arrested in connection with the Boston Marathon bombings.

A federal law enforcement source told CNN\’s Fran Townsend that someone was arrested. But two senior administration officials and another federal official then told Townsend that there had been a misunderstanding among officials and that no one has been arrested.

Two Justice Department officials also told CNN\’s Joe Johns that there has been no arrest, and that authorities were looking into where the earlier confusion came from.

NBC News Beats The Competition, Is First To Report Correctly That No Arrest Made In Boston Bombing Case

Amid a frenzy of reporting on Wednesday that a suspect had been arrested in the Boston Marathon bombing case, NBC News stood out as the only network reporting that no arrest had been made. In the face of increasing evidence that they were incorrect, NBC News stuck to their guns and insisted that there had been no arrest. Within minutes, it became clear that NBC News was the only network to get the story right — no arrest had been made in the Boston bombing case.

Poison Letters

Feds arrest suspect in ricin-positive letters sent to Obama, senator – U.S. News

Federal agents on Wednesday arrested a suspect in the mailing of letters to President Barack Obama and a U.S. senator that initially tested positive for the poison ricin.

The suspect was identified as Paul Kevin Curtis of Tupelo, Miss., federal officials told NBC News. They said he may appear in court as early as Wednesday night.

Initial tests show ricin in letter to Obama

FBI spokesman Paul Bresson said preliminary tests on the letter to Obama showed evidence of ricin, a powerful toxin that is generally considered to be ineffective as a weapon for mass terrorism.

US tortured detainees\’ after 9/11 attack

\’Indisputable\’ that US engaged in torture, Washington watchdog says

A two-year study by the Constitution Project determined that there was \”no
justification\” for the so-called \”enhanced interrogation techniques\”
deployed by the George W Bush administration, which it said violated both
international and American law.

\”It is indisputable that the United States engaged in the practice of
torture,\” said the 577-page report by Constitution Project, a high-powered
Washington watchdog.

\’US tortured detainees\’ after 9/11 attack – YouTube

The US military detention centre at Guantanamo Bay is the symbol of everything the country has done wrong since the September 11 attacks, according to a bipartisan group of former officials and academics.

The group, which reviewed US detention and rendition practices, has concluded that US interrogators committed torture while questioning detainees, and there\’s no proof the torture gave authorities any information to prevent future attacks.

Seasoned interrogators have confirmed the report finding that harsh interrogation techniques were ineffective and there was no rationale for their use, whether practical or moral.

CISPA is Coming…

Tell President Obama: Protect My Privacy, Veto CISPA | American Civil Liberties Union

Yesterday, we reached two important milestones in the fight to stop CISPA! Just after surpassing 50,000 petition signatures, a formal statement from the White House announced President Obama\’s intention to veto CISPA if it passes Congress in its current form. But with several amendments to the bill pending that could make him rethink his veto threat (even if they do little to protect our privacy), we need to keep the pressure on.

Government Has Already Fooled Us More Than Once On Privacy; History Belies How CISPA Will Be Used | Techdirt

One of the key things we\’ve seen in the pushback on CISPA is that its backers insist that people arguing against it don\’t really understand how the bill works, and that it does protect privacy. CISPA sponsor Rep. Mike Rogers himself took to Twitter this morning to tell the EFF that it\’s misreading his bill. But, of course, as we\’ve seen, it seems that Rogers himself is the one being misleading when it comes to privacy. If he truly believed in privacy protections, he would have supported a variety of straightforward amendments that made it clear how privacy could be protected. But he didn\’t. Instead, he clearly left it open for abuse.
