WHAT WRONG WITH THE INTERNET THREAT PARADIGMS

WHAT WRONG WITH THE INTERNET THREAT PARADIGMS?  Senate bill seeks crack down on cybercrime havens.oreign countries that turn a blind eye to cybercrime would lose US financial assistance and resources under a bill introduced Tuesday in the Senate.

The International Cybercrime Reporting and Cooperation Act would require the President to identify "countries of cyber concern" and to plot a course to help each one get tougher on cybercrime. Those that don't reach prescribed benchmarks would face economic penalties in the form of cuts to trade assistance grants, US export dollars and foreign-direct investment funds.

OBL caught in LIE

binny with edema

Bin Laden; "We love death as the West loves life" LIAR , G


Osama bin Laden threatened al Qaeda would kill any Americans it takes prisoner if accused September 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is put to death, according to an audiotape aired on al Jazeera on Thursday.


Guess the "love death" thing only applies to rank and file, stupid troopers.


This points out the lie in al Qaeda's cult myth about martyrdom
and their love of DEATH.


That the "love death thing" is just propaganda for suckers,
ignorant followers to die and go to HELL while the LEADERS
are exempt from the love of death.


al Qaeda cult has NO martyrs just suicide bombers
who go to HELL, no paradise, no virgins.




al Qaeda's cult march to DEATH for ignorant followers only.

Europe subject to Cyber shutdown

European Union Committee:
Protecting Europe against large-scale cyber-attack  HL 68

large-scale cyber-attacks: ( Short sighted and misleading. G ) Conclusion: 22.  We asked all our witnesses for their views on whether the Internet was resilient to attack, since this is a prominent concern of the Commission Communication. They were unanimous that it was highly resilient. Mr Ilias Chantzos, the Director of Government Relations at Symantec UK Ltd, part of an American multi-national company which is one of the world leaders in information security, went so far as to say: "…the Internet is probably one of the most resilient networks that has ever been built. I would argue that the Internet has been designed to withstand a nuclear war" (Q 144). 23.  Professor Jon Crowcroft, Marconi Professor of Communications Systems at Cambridge University, explained the reason for its resilience: "The Internet is a network of networks, and its management is to a very high degree decentralised. This is one of its greatest strengths in resisting attacks. It is hard to find specific weak points, and rare that any particular failure will lead to widespread problems … Terrorists and other enemy organisations are themselves organised in decentralised ways. Asymmetric warfare works for them because their targets are centralised and obvious. The net is one infrastructure which resists this, and should be understood to be more robust as a result of this" (p 124). The Government took the same view in their written evidence: "The Internet is inherently resilient due to diverse network routes, robust network designs, a variety of network providers and the use of different makes of network equipment." With regard to the position of the United Kingdom, their view was that "It is highly unlikely that the UK could be 'cut off' from the Internet by remote electronic attack or technical failure" (p 1). 28.  We are conscious that cyber-attacks, or natural or man-made disasters, can cause acute disruption to the Internet in the short term. However we believe that the United Kingdom is reasonably well placed to cope with such disruptions. SOURCE: They acknowledge the threat but miss the scope of the problem. They discuss the Estoania cyber attack AND that it was caused by a few thousand PCs, and do not even discuss the threat posed by Cornfliker, with millions of bots. They miss the possibility of someone taking over cornfliker and launching a truly massive DDOS attack against not Europe or England, but all 13 Internet Nodes at one time. They miss the possibility of something the size of cornfliker knocking down the WWW every time they try to bring it back up. I was amazed to see Mr Ilias Chantzos, the Director of Government Relations at Symantec UK Ltd, part of an American multi-national company which is one of the world leaders in information security, missed the scope and source, its potential and the vectors involved. It was most disappointing. Internet Anthropologist Think Tank has been warning about this problem since 2007. Internet Anthropologist Think Tank: CYBERWARS's Pearl Harbour My Cyber attack on USA.

al Qaeda and other terrorist are OK,

no treaty about them on the Internet.

Obama is more concerned about the

from these music shoplifters on line

than TERRORISTS.

OMG what a few million dollars in the 

hands of lobbyist can do, and all

the bribes are legal.

RIAA should be fined Billions just

for being so damn bullheaded and

stupid.

Anybody on the HILL  got their

priorities straight?
Why is Obama wasting time, money
and resources on Internet shoplifting
instead of Terrorism and the Internet
jahiddies?

This is an excellent example of
lobbyist control over the US
Government.

Lehman Bros. guilty of Fraud

Lehman Bros. using fraud to hide losses.

Lehman Bros. used accounting trick amid financial crisis – and earlier

Failed investment bank Lehman Bros. used an accounting trick ( Fraud, G ) at the end of each quarter to make its finances appear less shaky than they really were, says a report from an examiner.

Repo 105, a type of repurchase agreement (or "repo" deal) that temporarily removed securities from Lehman's balance sheet. Unlike typical agreements for a repurchase, a Repo 105 deal would be characterized by Lehman as an outright sale of securities. This, according to the examiner's report, created "a materially misleading picture of the firm’s financial condition in late 2007 and 2008."

And it used the ploy well before then.

"Lehman first introduced its Repo 105 program in approximately 2001," the report says. "Unable to find a United States law firm that would provide it with an opinion letter permitting the true sale accounting treatment under United States law, Lehman conducted its Repo 105 program under the aegis of an opinion letter [by a British law firm] ... under English law."

"Bad data lead to bad decisions," says William Black, a financial expert at the University of Missouri in Kansas City. Despite the crisis, the US government isn't putting enough resources into pursuing accounting fraud, argues Mr. Black, who led prosecutions during the 1980s savings-and-loan crisis.

SOURCE: CSM

Will Lehman chief executive officer Richard Fuld, three former Lehman chief financial officers (Christopher O'Meara, Erin Callan, and Ian Lowitt), and the firm's external auditor (Ernst & Young) be charged for criminal fraud?

Or is cooking the books legal now?

This problem points to the issues around

the Internet Operations are run piece

And there is not even agreement on 

basic paradigms.

Intel collection or security.

Collect intel and allow them to

run an Info war operation or

take them down and stop their

operations?

Evan F. Kohlmann has some

paradigm the CIA seems to be

running on.

And we think his hypothesis

is in error.

And this might explain why the

terrorist are winning the Info War.

successful counter Info War operation

they are allowing the Terrorist Info

Who is setting the Paradigms?

Why Security Vendors are loosing

Why Security Vendors are loosing the Battle.

Q & A WITH Dancho Danchev and  Thorsten Holz, researcher at Vienna University of Technology, whose team not only participated in the recent takedown of the Waledac botnet, but released an interesting paper earlier this year, summarizing their findings based on 33GB of crimeware data obtained from active campaigns......

Presumably an attacker can also use other methods to access a dropzone from another attacker: an attacker could exploit vulnerabilities in the dropzone’s web app (e.g., SQL injection, default passwords, open MySQL access etc.), something that we could not do as part of our research. There have been some reports about vulnerabilities in dropzone kits, and I am sure that one could find other ways to access a dropzone.

Dancho: With Zeus clearly reaching a monocultural stage within the cybercrime marketplace, a remote exploitable flaw within the kit’s web interface could trigger an effect often seen from a white hat’s perspective. In fact, there have been cases of cybercriminals hijacking one another’s Zeus botnets due to insecurely configured web servers.

Do you believe these are isolated incidents, or a logical development in the long term, which can contribute to the rise of underground turf wars?

Thorsten: I think that this is a logical development: If I would be an attacker, it would be way easier to simply exploit other dropzones than doing all the hard work on my own (buying the kit, hosting it, exploiting machines etc.). And with tools such as ZeuS Tracker I could also easily find other dropzones and perform my attack on a larger scale.

SOURCE:

I'd like to make two points here.

#1 bot nets are subject to hijacking, and subversion.

#2 Researchers and Security Vendors do not have the legal where withall to
get a court order to penetrate bot nets; like the Police can get a legal writ to wire tap.

And the Police do not have the computer where withall to know how to penetrate
a bot net.

So the Bot Nets remain secure, and untouchable.

And the most effective methods to go after bot nets remain extra legal and unused.
while the bot nets rampage on the Internet.

There needs to be a marriage between the FBI and a core team of the
best hackers the Security Vendors have, to make the "wiretapping, extra legal"
methods available to bring down these bot nets. The FBI to provide legal cover
while the Security Vendors hack the bot nets and put in place their own
security back doors.

The bot nets could be subverted by others for destruction of crimeware families
or the WWW its self ( DHS secret level 4. )
