SECURING THE ALLIANCE

The digital revolution is changing the very nature of warfare. Cyberattacks present grave and complex dangers to everything from global energy grids to fundamental democratic processes. How can NATO, a 70-year-old organization and a bedrock of security for North America and Europe, keep pace with these hybrid threats? And what role does the U.S., a founding member of NATO, have in building trust, preventing conflict, and securing the alliance?

The recent "skanks" blogger case created new boundaries for cyberstalking and internet defamation which the landmark "Google bomb" case in 2006 helped to define. In the Google bomb case, the court awarded Sue Scheff a record $11.3 million judgment after statements were posted attacking her character and business practices on public inernet forums and websites. Scheff's book, co-authored by Internet law specialist John W. Dozier, Jr., chronicles this landmark case and legal aspects of cyber abuse - "Google Bomb, The Untold Story of the $11.3M Verdict That Canged the Way We Use the Internet."

CodeMeter is the enabler of a new economy that provides broader and customized services, while protecting the know-how of the inventors, securing data communications, and seamlessly interfacing with digital marketplaces.

 

In the old days of Industrie 1.0, steam and water powered the mechanical industry.

 

With the advent of Industrie 2.0, a new technical cycle began fueled by electricity and labor specialization. With that, the counterfeiting of physical goods began.

 

The Industrial Revolution 3.0 brought technological innovation that has made us avid consumers of IT and electronics. Quality and functions of products started to be pirated with more ease and vigor.

 

Now, in the age of Industrie 4.0, cyber-physical systems increase connectivity between remote production plants and shift the paradigm from customized hardware to software tailored business models. However, this opens the door to new cyber-attacks, sabotage and espionage acts perpetrated from within and from the outside of vendors' facilities.

 

With CodeMeter, all parties are fairly rewarded and customers enjoy better service:

-The vendor protects his machines with a dongle and controls the volume and type of the barrels emptied by his clients

-The inventor encrypts his own recipes and sells them via secure licensing to a marketplace in the cloud

-The bartender pays for

oA perpetual license for the drinks included in the basic leasing contract of the machine

oA feature-based license to power up his machine for large gatherings

oA pay-per-use license for the extra recipes he downloads from the online marketplace

CodeMeter also securely identifies the bartender’s machine and encrypts the communication.

BUILDING CYBER RESILIENCE

Cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, such as the Colonial Pipeline, are increasing in frequency and size. Concurrently, infrastructure operators are implementing new technologies that increase efficiencies, but these could also make their assets more vulnerable to cyberattacks. How can the industry embrace digital adoption while managing cyberthreats? What can be done about zero-day exploits—that is, cyberattacks that occur the same day a vulnerability is discovered by a hacker? What preventive strategies might reduce downtime?

Critical Infrastructure Protection: Education Should Take Additional Steps to Help Protect K-12 Schools from Cyber Threats

A cyber security incident at Des Moines Public Schools caused a disruption to the school week (and work week). As the diagnostic and forensic work continues around the clock, I documented a little of the behind-the-scenes effort underway on a Saturday morning.

US cyberattack against leading Chinese aviation university intended to control infrastructure equipment, steal personal info: source

 

The cyberattack launched by the US National Security Agency (NSA) against Northwestern Polytechnical University in Northwest China's Shaanxi Province - well-known for its aviation, aerospace and navigation studies - was aimed at infiltrating and controlling core equipment in China's infrastructure and stealing private data of Chinese people with sensitive identities, the Global Times learned from a source close to the matter on Tuesday.

 

www.globaltimes.cn/page/202209/1275816.shtml

 

US’ NSA infiltrates China’s data infrastructure in cyberattack on leading university

 

During the cyberattack against the email system of Northwestern Polytechnical University in China's Shaanxi Province - well-known for its aviation, aerospace and navigation studies - the US' National Security Agency (NSA) was found to have constructed a "legal" channel for remote access to the core data network of some infrastructure operators so that the US intelligence agency could infiltrate and control the country's infrastructure, the Global Times learned from a source on Thursday.

 

On June 22, Northwestern Polytechnical University announced that hackers from abroad were caught sending phishing emails with Trojan horse programs to teachers and students at the university in an attempt to steal their data and personal information.

 

A police statement released by the Beilin Public Security Bureau in Xi'an the next day said that the attack had attempted to lure teachers and students into clicking links of phishing emails with Trojan horse programs, with themes involving scientific evaluation, thesis defense and information on foreign travel, so as to obtain their email login details.

 

To probe the attack, China's National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center and internet security company 360 jointly formed a technical team to conduct a comprehensive technical analysis of the case.

 

By extracting many Trojan samples from internet terminals of Northwestern Polytechnical University, with the support of European and South Asian partners, the technical team initially identified that the cyberattack on the university was conducted by the Tailored Access Operations (TAO) (Code S32) under the Data Reconnaissance Bureau (Code S3) of the Information Department (Code S) of the US' NSA.

 

Targeting Northwestern Polytechnical University, TAO used 41 types of weapons to steal core technology data, including key network equipment configuration, network management data, and core operational data. The technical team discovered more than 1,100 attack links that had infiltrated the university and more than 90 operating instruction sequences, which stole multiple network device configuration files, and other types of logs and key files, the source said.

 

According to an analysis of the characteristics of the TAO attack, infiltration tools, and Trojan horse samples, the technical team also found that TAO had infiltrated some infrastructure operators in China, built a "legal" channel for remote access to the core data network, and attempted to control China's infrastructure.

 

More details about TAO's cyberattack on Northwestern Polytechnical University will be released soon, the source said.

China accuses U.S. of cyberattacks on university that allegedly does military research

 

China on Monday accused Washington of breaking into computers at a university that U.S. officials say does military research, adding to complaints by both governments of rampant online spying against each other.

 

Northwestern Polytechnical University reported computer break-ins in June, the National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center announced. It said the center, working with a commercial security provider, Qihoo 360 Technology Co., traced the attacks to the National Security Agency but didn't say how that was done.

 

China and the United States are, along with Russia, regarded as global leaders in cyberwarfare research.

 

China accuses the United States of spying on universities, energy and internet companies and other targets. Washington accuses Beijing of stealing commercial secrets and has announced criminal charges against Chinese military officers.

 

The U.S. actions "seriously endanger China's national security," said Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning. She also accused Washington of eavesdropping on Chinese mobile phones and stealing text messages.

 

"China strongly condemns it," Mao said. "The United States should immediately stop using its advantages to steal secrets and attack other countries."

 

The American Embassy in Beijing didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

 

Security experts say the ruling Communist Party's military wing, the People's Liberation Army, and the Ministry of State Security also sponsor hackers outside the government.

 

Northwestern Polytechnical University, in the western city of Xi'an, is on a U.S. government "entity list" that limits its access to American technology. Washington says the university helps the PLA develop aerial and underwater drones and missile technology.

 

Monday's announcement accused the United States of taking information about the university's network management and other "core technologies." It said Chinese analysts found 41 "network attack" tools that it said were traced to the NSA.

 

Last year, a Chinese man, Shuren Qin, was sentenced to two years in prison by a federal court in Boston after he pleaded guilty to exporting underwater and marine technology to Northwestern Polytechnical University without required licenses.

 

The NSA, part of the Department of Defense, is responsible for "signals intelligence," or obtaining communications and other data.

 

The Computer Virus Emergency Response Center, set up in 1996 by the police department of the eastern city of Tianjin, describes itself as the Chinese agency responsible for inspection and testing of anti-computer virus products.

 

A report by Qihoo 360 in 2020 said hacking tools used in attacks on Chinese companies and government agencies in 2008-19 were traced to the Central Intelligence Agency by comparing them with code in CIA tools disclosed by the Wikileaks group.

 

The virus center accused the NSA of carrying out other "malicious network attacks" in China but gave no details. It said 13 people involved in the attacks had been identified.

 

The hackers targeted a "zero day," or previously unreported, vulnerability in the school's security, the statement said. It said the break-ins were conducted from servers in 17 countries including Japan, South Korea, Sweden, Poland, Ukraine and Colombia.

 

The statement described what it said were NSA software tools with names such as "Second Date" and "Drinking Tea" but didn't say which might have been used at the university.
