    Google hacking, which has been on the rise this summer, is a bit of a misnomer. Also known as Google dorking, Google hacking refers to cybercriminals' enterprising use of Google's advanced search functions to find caches of valuable data ripe for the taking.

    And so it begins in the real world and not in a movie, or lab demo. This is a real attack on US infrastructure via the internet. Foreign hackers broke into a water plant control system in Illinois last week and damaged a water pump in what appears to be the first reported case of a malicious cyber attack damaging a critical computer system in the United States, according to an industry expert. On Nov. 8, a municipal water district employee in Illinois noticed problems with the city's water pump control system, and a technician determined the system had been remotely hacked into from a computer located in Russia, said Joe Weiss, an industry security expert who obtained a copy of an Illinois state fusion center report describing the incident. "This is a big deal," said Weiss. The report stated it is unknown how many other systems might be affected.

New Facebook Trusted/HTTPS Settings Allow You To Browse Securely - 0 views

  • New Facebook Trusted/HTTPS Settings Allow You To Browse Securelyby Meghan Stabler on Thursday, January 27, 2011 at 2:40pmRecently there have been a number of simple hacks that allow your Facebook to be compromised. Today, Facebook announced a new feature that will help solve many of your security issues. You can now easily prevent that with this awesome (and long overdue) new feature from Facebook that allows you to browse the website securely. Spread the word! Why?  Because it’s optional and you have to enable it yourself ! To enable it simply go to the Account Security section of the Account Settings page and enable it. Note that I have tested this feature and should you use Facebook over a Corporate Network (VPN) and other similar secure access systems, not all images and photos will display due to the security layer in place.  Essentially it works by adding secure encryption to your browser, similar to when you’re checking out on an e-commerce website. This should become a DEFAULT setting for anyone who uses Facebook. Until it becomes the default setting make sure to protect yourself and change it today, it only takes a second… “Starting today we’ll provide you with the ability to experience Facebook entirely over HTTPS. You should consider enabling this option if you frequently use Facebook from public Internet access points found at coffee shops, airports, libraries, or schools,” the post says. “The option will exist as part of our advanced security features, which you can find in the Account Security section of the Account Settings page.” Using HTTPS may mean that some pages will take a little bit longer to load, and some third-party applications aren’t currently supported, the company said. The option is rolling out over the next few weeks. “We hope to offer HTTPS as a default whenever you are using Facebook sometime in the future,” the post says. “Every user’s Facebook page is unique and it’s been complex pulling together all the different parts,” said Facebook Chief Security Officer Joe Sullivan when asked what the time frame is to making HTTPS the default setting. “It’s an interesting technical challenge for the company.” Click here for more information on HTTPS After you modify that account setting you will notice that whenever you browse Facebook your browser bar will show “https://www.Facebook.com/“  and you should notice the LOCK graphic denoting that you are now browsing on a secure encrypted protection.  It will look something like this:  typically appearing in your browsers bottom right corner,this will vary by browser.  If you don’t see a lock, then you’re not protected.

      In Facebook, go to Account -> Account Settings -> Account Security, and check "Browse Facebook on a secure connection (https) whenever possible".

Palestine Attack UNESCO vote cyberwarfare

    The main phone network in the West Bank and Gaza has suffered a sustained attack by computer hackers, the Palestinian Authority (PA) says. It says most of the Palestinian territory has lost internet service. PA spokesman Ghassan Ghattib said the attacks started in the morning and came from multiple sources around the world. He said he did not know if the hacking was linked to the Palestinian leadership's successful bid to get membership of Unesco on Monday. The move by the UN's cultural and scientific organisation was strongly criticised by Israel and the United States. The US immediately announced it was cutting off all of its funding to UN body. Prolonged lack of access to the internet would prove costly to many Palestinian businesses.

    This almost reads like something out of a made for TV movie but is real.;-( Federal authorities are concerned about new research showing U.S. prisons are vulnerable to computer hackers, who could remotely open cell doors to aid jailbreaks. The Federal Bureau of Prisons is "aware of this research and taking it very seriously," spokesman Chris Burke told The Washington Times. Mr. Burke was reacting to research by private experts who found that the security systems in most American prisons are run by computer software vulnerable to hackers. "You could open every cell door, and the system would be telling the control room they are all closed," said John J. Strauchs, a former CIA operations officer who helped develop a cyber-attack on a simulated prison computer system and described it at a hackers' convention in Miami last week. The security systems in most American prisons are run by special computer equipment called industrial control systems, or ICS. They are also used to control power plants, water treatment facilities and other critical national infrastructure. ICS has increasingly been targeted by hackers because an attack on one such system successfully sabotaged Iran's nuclear program in 2009.
