Security Vendors frag themselves

Security Vendors continue to shoot themselves

in the Foot.

"Ethical concerns mean that security firms do not allow their infrastructure to be used in sending spam or running attacks against victims. By monitoring such instructions it's therefore possible for cybercrooks to program command and control servers to disable or simply ignore these machines, thus depriving security firms of vital intelligence in how zombie botnets are operating in the real world."

SOURCE:

Some bot nets run 13 million zombies.

And the Security Vendors have problems letting

just on of those infected PCs run  to collect 

intelligence.

Their ethical concerns are at the very least misguided

and at most incompetence.

The hackers and malware Vendors are kicking the Security

Vendors ass at every turn.

And they are playing a poor second best, and promoting

their security products with misnomers if not out right

lies.

The stogy ineffective Security Vendors are are blind 

sidling the public by developing policys and programing

methods that require all other security products to be

uninstalled and not making their security products

compatible with other Vendors.

They are not defending their turf, there are 500+

fake Security Vendors on the WWW now.

Our testes of the basic function of these vendors

points to their incompetence, most of the time 

virus are spotted by anti vir programs 80% of the

time, if you use multiple anti vir programs this

increases to around 95%.

But the vendors block the use of other Security products

with their products, making the user less safe.

I would suggest that "Ethical concerns mean that security firms do not allow their infrastructure to be used in sending spam or running attacks against victims."

are misguided.

Doctors run double blind tests where one group gets sugar pills while the other 

group gets the real medicine.

Some times the members that don't get the real Med.

DIE.

If the Medical profession can ethically run double blind tests

then certainly the Security Vendors can allow some

of the millions of bots to run to collect intelligence to kill

the bot farms.

The Security Vendors are already so far behind

the hackers, they don't need unnecessary misguided

handicaps preventing them from collecting Intelligence.

So far I rate the Security Vendors a "D" failing grade.

They are NOT getting the job done.

CONCEPT:
Paradigm Intel:


The most recent attacks on the Big US Coprs
( See video below )
may have stolen the source code, the source core code.

This opens the possibility of hiding malware,
back doors even exploits into the Source Core
of most of the WWW programs.

Its millions and millions of lines of code,
that need to be checked, Check sum tester
programs can be defeated and are not reliable
to verify the safety of source core base programs.

I would argue there remains the possibility
key core base programs being corrupted
with many kinds of bad stuff.
Hidden, tricked, and invisible ways of
including malware code with out detection.
To Include Gov. MIL. and civilian .com.

Not to mention no one is looking for
these problems in "core base" after
the program is written.

Until now there has been no reason to
spend huge number of personnel and man hours
to re check code already done and in use.

Paradigm Intel says source code has been
stolen, maybe even re-written and
inserted back into the "core base".

Every Company and Gov and MIL that
was broken into needs to recheck its
"core base" for bad guys using it
covertly.

This is a whole new Security Paradigm
threat,

The SOUL OF THE WWW HAS BEEN HACKED.
This means the code for the source of the proprietary
programs of these corporations was stolen, and may have
been corrupted and replaced the original source code,
can we now trust Google programs, mail, browser any
thing Google, or did they get MS OS, and make some
additions?
Or is Yahoo Mail still the original source code?
How can anyone tell?
"THE BAD GUYS" have had full access to it,
and maybe all of the originals?
Can they even tell if its been doctored?

SECRET TREATYS???

European Parliament Rips Global IP Accord

• By David Kravets

The European Parliament delivered a political blow to Hollywood and the Obama administration, voting Wednesday 663 to 13 in opposition to a proposed and secret intellectual property agreement being negotiated by the European Union, United States and a handful of others.

Wednesday’s developments concerning the Anti-Counterfeiting and Trade Agreement are substantial because the European Union’s 27 countries vastly outnumber the remaining countries negotiating the deal. They are Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Morocco, New Zealand, Singapore, Switzerland and the United States. Ambassador Ron Kirk, the top U.S. trade official, is spearheading the deal that began being crafted under the George W. Bush administration.

Kirk’s office declined comment.

To be sure, there is a dispute and heavy confusion concerning whether internet service providers under ACTA would be forced to punish customers deemed copyright scofflaws by reducing or eliminating service, according to a string of leaked documents. So parliament members also agreed Wednesday to oppose the measure if it contains so-called “three strikes” or “graduated response” policies — regardless of whether that’s now in the text.

And because of the text’s secrecy, parliament on Wednesday also demanded (.pdf) that the private agreement still under negotiation be publicly released.

This Treaty is only a Secret from the American People.
The US Government and other Nation States are signatories.
WHY IS IT A SECRET FROM THE AMERICAN PUBLIC?
What's in it that will anger the American Public?

Charter Com the Worst

Charter Com the Worst

Charter Com the Worst, well maybe not the worst

I haven't had the "Government Communications Network-District"

ISP out of Kabul Afghanistan yet, so I can't say for certain they

are the worst.

They rope you in with one price and

later that price increases 100% 

slowly little at a time and NO ONE

asks if its ok to charge me more.

They just increase the price. 

Charter's service is abysmal.

95% of the time they are great,

100% good.

5% of the time they are 5% good.

I paid my Charter bill on the 2nd.

and they shut my phone off on the 

9th. 

7 "Chat now" sessions later

and they still haven't turned it

back on.

They said it was an error,

and 4 times they got my name,

account number, security code,

and pin, name and phone number,

and the last 4 numbers of my Social 

Security number and address.

And were going to turn the phone back

on, they made an error.

And the "Chat Sessions" got

dumped 6 times.

Nobody did, its still off.

And I'm not going to do chat again,

I'll pop the computer.

And not one thought to turn the phone

on and call me???

If you use the "back key" to correct

a spelling error their system dumps

the chat session and you start all over

again. With all the security stuff all over again.

My paranoid mind says they programed

it that way to discourage people

from using the chat function.

And the last time it just froze up.

After they collect all the information 

and then they ask me what my name is?

Of course its right there in chat,

my name right beside what I type..
I type "Gerald " right next to
the "Gerald " on the chat line.
The chat text says:
"Gerald says: Gerald"


AND every time you type in something
and hit enter, the cursor doesn't pick back
up on the Text line, you have to recenter
it on the line and hit enter every time.
Normally you just keep typing, in the
text box. Not with Charter Chat from
HELL.

So I type in my name in right

beside my name in the chat line.

Then I insist she tell me her name

and she types in "Carol" right beside

"Carol" on the chat line.

"Carol says: Carol"

Two can be stupid at this game.

And they don't give you the

option of having a copy of the

chat sent to you.

One other time

I got a bill from Charter

telling me I have to make payment

by XX date or the service will

be turned off. I was late.

I paid the bill on time then they still shut it

off 3 days past the shut off date,

telling me I had an additional bill

it was a "rolling balance" system

they were using????

I told them I had a statement on their 

letter head to pay $xyz dollars and

my service wouldn't be shut off, I had it

in writing, they explained to me

the letter didn't count it was what

was in their computer that counted.

And to straighten it out they want

me to drive to a city 60 miles away.

I just paid. I think it was $100.
I think I know why they are in Bankruptcy.

I just want to scream when I deal

with them, but I don't.

My blood pressure just soars,

and I just chat.

I was going to just call them to complain

but I can't the phone is out.

I could always contact them by Chat......
from HELL. Naw.
They can read it here.

I wonder how much the Afghan ISP

charges?

Follow up:
I called charter by cell phone,
and got a thick accent,
said they didn't know why my
phone service was suspended
but it would cost $60 to reconnect it.
I threatened to pull all my services from
them if they charged me the $60
so they decided to drop the
reconnect fee.
IF you require dependable 
phone service I'd look elsewhere,
I am.

And Charter admits it spys on its USERS.
