(EurActiv) - Insurers are eagerly eyeing exponential growth in the tiny cyber coverage market. But their lack of experience and skills handling hackers and data breaches may keep their ambitions in check. High profile cases of hackers seizing sensitive customer data from companies, such as US retailer Target Corp or e-commerce company eBay Inc, have executives checking their insurance policies. Increasingly, corporate risk managers are seeing insurance against cyber crime as necessary budget spending rather than just nice to have. The insurance brokerage arm of Marsh & McLennan Companies estimates that the US cyber insurance market was worth $1 billion (€0.73bn) last year in gross written premiums, and could reach as much as $2 billion (€1.4bn) this year. The European market is currently a fraction of that, at around $150 million (€110mn), but is growing by 50 to 100% annually, according to Marsh. Those numbers represent a sliver of the overall insurance market, which is growing at a far more sluggish rate. Premiums are set to grow only 2.8% this year in inflation-adjusted terms, according to Munich Re, the world's biggest reinsurer.

Data breaches can have a big effect on a merger's overall value. There appears to be a worrying level of complacency toward the assessment of cyber-risks during M&A deals, despite increasing awareness of the cybersecurity risks facing businesses. International law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer found in a survey shared with Infosecurity that 90% of respondents believe cyber-breaches would result in a reduction in deal value; and 83% of dealmakers believe a deal could be abandoned if cybersecurity breaches are identified during deal due diligence or mid-transaction. Yet, too few tie-up architects are addressing the threat. A majority (78%) say that cybersecurity is not a risk that is currently analyzed in-depth or dealt with in deal due diligence. "It's surprising that dealmakers recognize the growing threat of cyber-attacks to businesses, but generally aren't addressing that risk during deals," said Chris Forsyth, co-head of the firm's international cybersecurity team. "You wouldn't dream of buying a chemicals plant without assessing environmental risk, so why would you buy a data-driven business without assessing the risks its faces around data management and cyber-security?" The firm said that the effect of a cyber-incident on value would work both ways - a business with a good track record and robust processes could be worth more than competitors, while a business with a bad track record could be worth less.

In late 2011 and early 2012, activists, progressive politicians and Internet companies led in part by Internet freedom advocate Aaron Swartz came together to defeat the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA). Advertised as measures against copyright infringement, the bills would have opened any website that contained copyrighted material it was not authorized to publish on any of its pages to a forced shutdown. A site that unknowingly held a copyrighted image in a comment section, for instance, would have been eligible as a violator. Virtually everyone was susceptible to closure. The Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA) followed SOPA and PIPA in April 2012. CISPA was worse than its predecessors, proposing that private companies be allowed to share user information, a provision that would have violated many privacy protections of the Internet. Recognizing this, Swartz fought again. "It sort of lets the government run roughshod over privacy protections and share personal data about you," he said of the bill at the time. Again, he prevailed. Now, a year and a half after Swartz killed himself, there is the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act. CISA is a lot like CISPA, but could end up being even worse. Privacy and civil rights groups including the ACLU and the Electronic Frontier Foundation are standing up to fight it. In an article about the bill, the ACLU's Sandra Fulton wrote: CISA "poses serious threats to our privacy, gives the government extraordinary powers to silence potential whistleblowers, and exempts these dangerous new powers from transparency laws."

Nearly one-third of the world's computers could be infected with malware, suggests a report released last week by the Anti-Phishing Working Group. Malicious apps invaded 32.77 percent of the world's computers, a more than 4 percent jump from the previous quarter's 28.39 percent, the report estimates. The increase in infected computers has come hand-in-hand with a jump in the appearance of malware samples, said Luis Corrons, technical director of PandaLabs, the research arm of Panda Security, one of the sponsors of the APWG report. "The creation of malware samples is skyrocketing," Corrons told TechNewsWorld. "It has doubled from the last quarter to the first quarter of this year." In the last quarter of 2013, some 80,000 malware samples a day were discovered by Panda researchers. In the first quarter of 2014, that number jumped to 160,000. Hiding in Numbers By far, most of the new malware strains (71.85 percent) and malware infections (79.70 percent) are Trojans. Less than a quarter of new malware strains (22.70 percent) and malware infections (12.77 percent) are viruses and worms. "At the end of the day, malware is created to steal information," Carrons explained. "Trojans are the most suitable malware to do that." The primary motivation behind creating so many new malware strains is to avoid detection by antivirus programs. Those programs use signatures to identify malicious software. Since each new bad app strain contains a new signature, constantly introducing new strains extends the time a malicious app can remain virulent.

46% av konsumenterna säger de kommer handla online på Cyber måndag.

Men säger nästan hälften av konsumenterna (46%) de kommer handla online här Cyber måndag. Cyber är måndag den allt vanligare benämning för måndagen efter Thanksgiving när många konsumenter gå tillbaka till jobbet och handla online. Det är från 30 procent under 2012. En annan bonus för webb-enda handlarna: för dem som planerar att handla på svart fredag, 51% planerar att åtminstone göra några av deras shopping online. 13% av de tillfrågade planerar att handla i fysiska butiker detta svart fredag, ner från 17% 2012, medan resterande 2% svarade "vet inte, säger Nielsen. Detta är fjärde året i rad att andelen shoppare som säger att de inte kommer att drabba butikerna på svart fredag antingen ökat eller förblivit densamma. I 2010 sa 80% av shoppare de skulle hoppa över butikerna dagen efter Thanksgiving; i både 2011 och 2012 sade 82%. och i år 85% säger att de inte besöker butiker på svart fredag.

US regeringen använder sällan bästa cyber security steg: rådgivare Direkt lank: http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2013-11-23/news/44389988_1_cyber-security-cybersecurity-legislation-advisers WASHINGTON: Den amerikanska regeringen själv sällan följer cyber security metodtips och måste släppa sin gamla operativsystem och osäkra webbläsare som den försöker driva den privata sektorn att skärpa sin praxis, teknik rådgivare till President Barack Obama. "Den federala regeringen följer sällan accepterade bästa praxis," sade presidentens rådet av rådgivare om vetenskap och teknik i en rapport som släpptes på fredagen. "Det måste föregå med gott exempel och påskynda ansträngningarna för att göra rutinmässiga cyberattacks svårare genom att implementera bästa praxis för sina egna system." PCAST är en grupp amerikanska forskare och ingenjörer som gör politiska rekommendationer till administrationen. William Press, professor i datavetenskap vid University of Texas i Austin, och Craig Mundie, senior rådgivare till VD på Microsoft Corp, bestod av en arbetsgrupp för cybersäkerhet. Obama-administrationen i år intensifierat sin push för kritiska till att stärka deras cyber försvar, och Obama i februari utfärdade en verkställande order för att motverka bristen på framsteg på cybersäkerhet lagstiftning i kongressen.

Det sociala nätverket följer i fotspåren av Facebook och Google, som båda vidtog åtgärder för att skydda användardata i kölvattnet av NSA spionen skandalen. Sociala meddelandetjänsten meddelade det var genomföra framåt sekretess protokoll "som ett led i vår fortsatta strävan att hålla våra användares information så säker som möjligt." Införandet av protokollet skyddar krypterad information även om en dekrypteringsnyckel används för att försöka bryta in i den. "Forward secrecy är bara den senaste sätt där Twitter försöker försvara och skydda användarens röst," skrev Twitter i ett uttalande på dess teknikers blogg. Google, Dropbox, Facebook och Tumblr har alla installerade framåt sekretess i ett försök att skydda internet-sekretess. Tjänsten har nästan ingen märkbar effekt på användarupplevelsen, förutom en liten tidsförskjutning när folk loggar in. De data som skyddas med ny hård-till-spricka koder kommer att omfatta tweets publiceras på mikro-blogger hemsida, men också privata meddelanden. Nedfallet från NSA spionen skandalen tidigare har i år orsakat ett antal webbplatser att vidta ytterligare säkerhetsåtgärder att omintetgöra online spioneri.

Träffade dynor kraft för krig om skyhöga Internetrelaterad brottslighet Scotland Yard är att fyrdubbla antalet officerare att hantera IT-relaterad brottslighet över London, med senior polisen utarbetande i hundratals mer specialiserade utredarna att bekämpa vad de kallar "branschens tillväxt av den kriminella undre världen". Den nya cyber enheten - på grund av öppna tidigt 2014 - förväntas vara 400-stark, samma storlek som Trident, polisens anti gänget kommando. Utbyggnaden är svar på en 60 procent ökning i IT-relaterad brottslighet under det senaste året, kostar den brittiska ekonomin en uppskattningsvis £81bn. Scotland Yard budget för att bekämpa Internetrelaterad brottslighet kommer att tredubbla till mer än 15 miljoner pund per år. Officerare har dock gjort klart de kommer också att söka medel från den privata sektorn-banker, försäkringsbolag och återförsäljare är ofta riktade av online bedragare. Commander Steve Rodhouse, chef för organiserad brottslighet på Met, sade syftet var att göra London en "fientligt territorium" för cyberbrottslingar. Han sade att polisen har sett kriminella gäng "flytta från vad de historiskt sett har gjort", oavsett om det var rån eller andra våldsamma konfrontationer, till mer lukrativa och potentiellt mindre riskfyllda online brott.

We all live in public, at least as far as the US National Security Agency is concerned. As Internet users and global citizens become more aware of surveillance activities that the US and other countries are doing on the World Wide Web, there are those who seek to ensure that privacy and personal freedoms aren't trampled upon. Tor technology aims to help appease privacy advocates and offer a way in which the Internet can be enjoyed without the prying eyes of surveillance programs or other tracking software. This free piece of software has certainly become mainstream in light of recent events, but what is Tor and why does it matter to you, your family, neighbors, co-workers, and the rest of the Internet? Peeling back the onion layers It might surprise you that the Tor Project, originally an acronym for The Onion Router Project, was initially funded by the US Naval Research Laboratory and helped launch the development of onion routing (anonymous communication over a computer network) on behalf of DARPA. It had also received the backing from the Electronic Frontier Foundation. When users installed Tor software onto their computers, it would conceal their identity and network activity from anyone spying on their behavior. This was accomplished by separating the identification and routing information. The data is transmitted through multiple computers via a network of relays run by like-minded volunteers - almost like how users installed SETI software to look for extraterrestrial beings. Tor isn't the only service that helps you hide in the shadows away from the prying eyes of the federal government, or any other person who would do it for malicious purposes. However, some say that it's better because it works at the Transmission Control Protocol stream level.

http://www.wellsphere.com/brain-health-article/hundreds-of-south-african-facebook-profiles-have-been-cloned/1954857 Computer forensics expert Bennie Labuschagne said scammers used programs designed to "deep mine" online accounts to bypass security features."Cloning is very common and it is now like the 419 scams, only on social networks," he said. One of the South African Facebook victims, Dinesh Ramrathan, said yesterday: "A Facebook friend called me to find out why I had sent her a message asking for money online. I then discovered that my page had been duplicated. "My friends were caught off guard and accepted friend requests from the hacker, who then started sending requests for money." The impostor claimed that Ramrathan was in trouble and needed money urgently."I am lucky because all my Facebook friends know me personally outside of the social network so they knew that I was not in trouble," he said. Debby Bonnin's husband received a friend request from her even though they were already Facebook friends. One of sixmillion local users of Facebook, Bonnin said: "My major concern is identity theft and all the possible ramifications of that. On Facebook the prime issue is reputation. But the person behind the false profile could use your identity to access confidential information from your friends and then there could be security or financial problems that arise." Another Facebook user, Josh Delport, said his stored scores and tokens on game applications on the site had disappeared. University of KwaZulu-Natal associate professor of information systems Manoj Maharaj said that, though Facebook could not be hacked because of its hi-tech security features, the affected users might have put themselves at risk by clicking on links to external games, applications and shopping sites. "Users are clicking on these links without realising that their information is being passed on. If one of those sites is hacked, their information, such as credit card details, is easily a

The House of Representatives go for the second round of Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act as it passed legislation on Thursday. The newly granted powers are intended to stop computer security threats against a company's rights and property. But the definitions are broad and vague. The terms allow purposes such as guarding against "improper" information modification and ensuring "timely" access to information, functions that are not necessarily tied to attacks. Once handed over, the government is able to use this information for investigating crimes that are unrelated to the underlying security threat and, more broadly, for "national security" purposes, which is a poorly defined term that includes "threats to the United States, its people, property, or interests" and "any other matter bearing on United States national or homeland security." The bill's vague definitions like "cybersecurity purpose" and "cybersecurity system" also raise the frightening possibility of a company using aggressive countermeasures. If a company wants to combat a threat, it is empowered to use "cybersecurity systems" to identify and obtain "cyber threat information." But the bill does not define exactly how far a company can go, leaving it open to the possibility of abuse. The bill drew support from House Democrats, passing on a bipartisan vote of 288-127, although the White House repeated its veto threat on Tuesday if further civil liberties protections are not added. Some lawmakers and privacy activists worry that the legislation would allow the government to monitor citizens' private information and companies to misuse it. U.S. authorities have recently elevated the exposure to Internet hacks and theft of digital data to the list of top threats to national security and the economy. Though thousands of companies have long been losing data to hackers in China and elsewhere, the number of parties publicly admitting such loss has been

It's the last thing security professionals want to see: A new hacking method that makes it even harder to detect suspect code in emails. The method is actually a stealthy combination of two favorite attack modes, and it shows that hackers are pulling out all the stops to ensnare computer users in their webs. Phishing and spear phishing have long been thought to be mutually exclusive hacking tricks, but cybercrooks have found a way to combine the two in a technique called longline phishing. "The technique allows you to hit a lot of people very quickly and largely go undetected," Dave Jevans, founder and CTO of Marble Security and founder of the Anti-Phishing Work Group, told TechNewsWorld. With spear phishing, which is typically used as a vehicle for advanced persistent threat attacks like the recent one on The New York Times, a select group of connected people are targeted with a highly credible email message based on extensive research of the targets' backgrounds. "With longlining, you can get hundreds of people exposed to a website that will infect their computers," Jevans noted. He explained that longliners -- named after commercial fishermen who use long lines of hooks to catch fish -- might send 100,000 emails from 50,000 IP addresses, which makes it difficult to identify an email from a particular server as hacking bait.
