Microsoft öppnar IT-Center för att bekämpa skadlig kod och cyber crime Källa lank: http://www.v3.co.uk/v3-uk/news/2307178/microsoft-opens-cybercrime-center-to-tackle-malware-and-cyber-crime Microsoft har förklarat krig mot cyberbrottslighet genom att öppna en ny specialist cyberbrott Center på dess Redmond campus dedikerad enbart för att upptäcka och motverka blackhat hackare. Cyberbrott centrum kommer att erbjuda sin juridisk och teknisk expertis till brottsbekämpande myndigheter som Interpol. Det kommer att särskilt fokusera på att bekämpa brott som är associerade med skadlig kod, botnät, immateriella stöld och utnyttjande av teknik-underlättas barn. Centrum kommer också vara öppet för säkerhetsexperter från tredje-part-partners och universitet. Microsoft lovat det kommer att ha avancerad malware och hot-upptäckt teknik som kommer att låta experter och brottsbekämpning identifiera utveckla digitala hot i realtid. Dessa inkluderar SitePrint, PhotoDNA och cyber-forensics tjänster. SitePrint är en teknik som utformats för att spåra och kartlägga online organiserade brottsligheten, PhotoDNA är en anti-child-pornografi-teknik som syftar till att utrota och ta bort olagliga bilder av minderåriga och cyber forensics upptäcker global brottslighet som bedrägerier och stöld onlinebedrägerier. Centrum kommer också att dela cyber hot intelligens från Microsofts botnet takedown verksamhet.

Former Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano gave her farewell speech last week. She had quite a bit to say, but there was one thing that caught my attention: She warned that a major cyberattack is on the way. I believe it. Most major U.S. companies have been under siege from hackers over the last 18 months. In fact, two days after Napolitano's speech, a hacker group called the Syrian Electronic Army hacked the New York Times' website and Twitter feed - for the second time this year. Of course, Napolitano wasn't just talking about American business. She was talking about America's infrastructure: power grid, communications, banking and so forth. Every one of these services relies on computers. A well-placed virus could do a lot of damage, especially if an insider planted it. The Northeast blackout of 2003 started at a single power center. A computer bug disabled an important alarm. The operators couldn't react in time to a downed power line and it blacked out 55 million people for several days. Imagine waking up one morning with no power. Cellphones can't connect, banks are closed, the Internet is down and credit cards don't work. In localized emergencies, workers from other areas help to restore services quickly. A cyberattack could affect wide regions of the country, overwhelming the available manpower. It could take days, weeks or months for basic services to be fully restored. Not a pretty picture. Now, a cyberattack might not take down everything, but it could make basic services unreliable. You won't be able to trust technology to always work.
