THE INTERNET OF THINGS
THE INTERNET OF THINGS
ICT and Cybersecurity experts warned that companies need to pay greater attention to their computer networks' cybersecurity and add that Telecoms company TalkTalk got hacked because “it wasn’t paying enough attention to its cybersecurity,” and that the recent Ashley Madison attack, is just the “the tip of iceberg”. They add that the growing threat by hackers is very real and that the cyber attacks comparable to the 9/11 event can be expected but needs to be thwarted before they happen. With the arrival of the Internet of Things (IoT) a lot more devices are connected to the Internet and this number is constantly growing, and provides new ways for hackers to gain access to private and confidential data. Experts recommend that network security must be part of a company’s core infrastructure because the few professional cybersecurity companies globally just aren't enough to stop the constant barrage of cyber threats.Barack Obama and Xi Jinping |
US officials currently working on the Iran policy determined that the recent surge of cyber attacks by the Iran’s Revolutionary Guards to email and social media accounts of Obama administration officials it possibly linked to arrest of Siamak Namazi an Iranian-American businessman. The Iranian military Revolutionary Guards have regularly made hacking attacks on US government agencies in recent years but has increased after the landmark international agreement to eased severe economic sanctions on Iran in return for Tehran curbing its nuclear program.
The World Wide Web is the direct consequence of all the hacking taking place globally but even though these hacks cost global business move than £200bn last year, the Internet is non-the-less an indispensable global resource which no country can function without. It is in this sense that ministers of the Obama administration are demanding answer with respect to the protection of the vital undersea Internet cables. The Russian government recently spooked US officials by dispatching a submarine equipped to cut undersea cables along the East Coast of the United States.
However the threat is much closer to home. A teenage hacker crew has been casing John Brennan director of the CIA and other government officials. A hacker with the alias "Cracka", hacked into an email account belonging to the FBI Deputy Director Mark Giuliano getting into a Comcast email that’s under Giuliano’s wife’s name. They even provided several screenshots to prove they hacked the account but declined to reveal how they did it.

CYBERCRIME
CYBERCRIME FRENZY
It is common knowledge that Cybercrime cost global business more than £200bn last year. Statistically one in six companies have been hacked in the past year alone, and the financial and legal sectors are especially targeted but no exclusively. Having said that, the Talk Talk Telecom Group got hacked last Thursday and the customers' bank details were stolen for the third time in eight months. TalkTalk previously got hacked in August and again in February. Management speculated that the hackers made off with some the 4 million client accounts, but after further investigation realized it to be a lot less. In an attempt to appease worried customers, Dido Harding apologized for the hacking before TalkTalk released official figures based on their internal investigation. Announcing that some 20,000 bank account numbers and 28,000 partially obscured credit card details were accessed. Their investigation further showed that some 1.2 million customer email addresses, names and phone numbers were accessed.TalkTalk just got hacked |
To add insult to injury, these very customers' bank details are already up for sale for £1.62 each (Bitcoins) on Alpha Bay Website by a hacker with the alias 'Martian'. It is believed that Eastern European criminal gangs are the main buyers of such stolen financial data. A hacker claimed that he could make £150,000 by getting hold of the data and selling it on to many gangs.

Tuesday marked the 98th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, and Pro-Palestinian hackers on took over over the Twitter feed of the Hebrew-language Haaretz news website and sending threatening text messages to journalists. Among the tweets posted by the unknown hackers: “The Holocaust of the Balfour Declaration will continue the knife intifada”; “The mothers of our martyrs will drink the blood of your soldiers and settlers,” and “The memory of the Balfour Declaration has changed the situation, wait for the massacre that will be arriving soon.” Apart from the tweets, a sms expressing similar sentiments and threats was sent out to cell phones around Israel. “A continuous Holocaust upon you until you give back the right to its owners,”
Goldman Sachs Private Capital Investment Group have just coughed up $35 million to a Cybersecurity company to secure their computer network because in 2014 hackers gained access to confidential and personal information of 83 million of JP Morgan's customers. The credentials of the Cybersecurity company has been verified by Deloitte and their hype seems very promising but only time will tell. This is the type of mark that hackers find very, very interesting and a challenge to prove that any and all forms of cybersecurity is purely a deterrent and not hacker proof.
