US Security Report - Backdoor Trojan Hits Defense Contractors

Defense Industrial Base Sector 10. August 27, SC Magazine – (National) Riding low and slow, Hikit targets U.S. defense contractors. Researchers at security firm Mandiant have identified a backdoor trojan, called Hikit, which has targeted a small number of defense contractors in the United States. A principal consultant at the Washington, D.C.-based company, told SCMagazine August 27 that the malware, first discovered in 2011, fell into the category of an advanced persistent threat. As opposed to financial fraud, the goal of the attackers behind Hikit is to conduct industrial espionage and steal sensitive data, he said. The trojan itself is not used to initiate a breach, but to exploit an existing server vulnerability so that attackers can maintain access to victims’ data. Hikit can run commands on a targeted server, as well as transfer files to retrieve data and redirect traffic within other systems of the victims’ internal network.

INSURANCE MAY COVER LIVING EXPENSES

INSURANCE COMMISSIONER DAVE JONES REMINDS WILDFIRE EVACUEES THAT INSURANCE MAY COVER LIVING EXPENSES Basic Necessities May Be Provided by Assisted Living Expenses (ALE) Insurance Commissioner Jones today reminded fire evacuees in California that they may be eligible for reimbursement for additional living expenses due to mandatory evacuations. The California Department of Insurance (CDI) is currently monitoring several fires in the state, including the Vallecito Fire in San Diego County and the Buck Fire in Riverside County, which have the most potential for damage and where mandatory evacuations have been ordered. “Anyone who has been forced to evacuate their home due to the fires in San Diego or Riverside Counties and elsewhere should check their insurance policies,” said Commissioner Jones. “Many policies cover additional living expenses people might incur because they’ve been ordered to evacuate. Those expenses include hotel stays and meals.” Homeowners are covered under what is known as ALE, or additional living expenses. This permits them to maintain their normal standard of living by covering the increased living expenses incurred as a result of damage caused by the fire or a mandatory evacuation. ALE coverage typically includes extra food and housing costs, furniture rental, relocation and storage costs, telephone installation and extra transportation expenses to and from school or work. “Evacuating your home for a wildfire is extremely unnerving,” said Commissioner Jones. “But knowing you’re adequately covered for those unexpected expenses after such a disaster may lessen the anxiety just a little.” Commissioner Jones reminds all Californians that the department is here to help. He also urges residents to get prepared for wildfires today by making sure their insurance policies are up to date and to conduct a home inventory today. A free guide is available on the Department of Insurance Web site at www.insurance.ca.gov, or by calling the CDI Consumer Hotline at 800-927-HELP. Current California wildfires include: • The Chips Fire in Sacramento County which started on July 29. The fire is approximately 120 miles north of Sacramento in the Plumas National Forest and is 20% contained. It is estimated to be totally contained by August 31. 900 residences are threatened including, four commercial and 36 outbuildings. Mandatory evacuations have been ordered. • The Vallecito Lightning Complex Fire in San Diego County which started on August 12. The fire is on the eastern side of San Diego County and is 60% contained. 400 structures are threatened. Mandatory evacuations have been ordered. • The Buck Fire in Riverside County which started on August 14. The fire is on Sage Road between Lewis Valley Road and Buck Road in Aguanga and is 60% contained. Four structures have been destroyed and 50 additional structures are threatened. All evacuations have been lifted. • The Wye Fire in Lake County which started on August 12. The fire is burning at the Hwy 20 and Hwy 53 intersections, east of Clearlake Oaks and is 80% contained. Two structures and one outbuilding have been destroyed, two structures have been damaged. All evacuations have been lifted.

What are web site backlinks

How do they work with Google? Back in the early 90′s when Sergey Brin and Larry Page were working on a new way to organize content online (on a massive scale), they created something that would keep track of all the inbound links that a website received. The more inbound links a website got early on, the higher it ranks in Google. Of course there thinking was very different back then, and there main goal as college students was to simply create a much better system for organizing content on the world wide web. But ever since, Google has evolved into something much greater. Many people are starting to build websites and various things to be shown on the web and it’s much easier to do now on top of that. You don’t have to manually encode the php structure & layout of the website itself. You simply upload a mysql database, install a database to it (Joomla, Zen Cart, WordPress, and others), and you’re done. So in response to this, people are now trying to cheat the system to rank higher in Google in respects to back-linking. So because of this, Google has been taking action to stop this. Quality Content is now KING With recent updates like the BuildMyRank update, the more official update for Google Penguin, Google is starting to take a stand against all the people who are back-linking like crazy & taking advantage of it through “online services & companies”. Google wants to only rank quality content, that’s also SEO friendly, on the top of their search engines as opposed to people trying to take advantage of their system. So yes, it;s important you read about how the optimization of Google works, but it’s also important that you realize back-links are becoming a thing of the past (despite how they are still valued in the optimization of your websites, primarily constituting the flow of traffic as a result of those back-links), and that quality content is now KING (400 words or more is known as great, even though I’ve heard others say Google LOVES around 800 words of great content).

Spying on the Police... yes, There's an App for That"

New Jersey cops watch out - Big Brother is watching.

The local chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union has just launched a new cell phone app which allows state residents to discreetly record police stops.

It follows the introduction of a similar app by the New York wing of the ACLU last month and is being hailed as another weapon for civilians against abusive police behavior.

NYCLU SMARTPHONE APP LETS USERS REPORT STOP-AND-FRISK ENCOUNTERS IN REAL TIME

The free New Jersey app, called "Police Tape," has been developed by OpenWatch and can be downloaded

at aclu-nj.org/app.

It is currently only available for Android smartphones but is expected to be rolled out to iPhones later this month.

"Police Tape" has three functions: video recording, audio recording and a tutorial for first-time users.

The app records video and audio but, unlike the typical applications that come with cell phones, "Police Tape" disappears from the screen once the recording begins “to prevent any attempt by police to squelch the recording,” according to the ACLU-NJ press release.

"Police Tape" even takes advantage of computing’s latest fad: the cloud. Recordings can be sent straight to the organization for backup storage and analysis.

The civil liberties group says the software is necessary because residents have been harassed or arrested for recording police in action and, on occasion, officers have had recordings deleted.

“Police often videotape civilians and civilians have a constitutionally protected right to videotape police,” said Alexander Shalom, ACLU New Jersey’s policy counsel, told the Star-Ledger. “When people know they’re being watched, they tend to behave well.”

The New York app, called "Stop & Frisk Watch," is also free and enables users to report run-ins with police in real time.

It was developed in response to the NYPD’s controversial stop-and-frisk policy, which critics say unfairly targets minorities.

The civil liberties group hopes the app will hold officers accountable. Police credit stop and frisk with helping to lower the murder rate and say it has led to more gun seizures.

The NYPD fears the app will tip criminals off to stop-and-frisk locations.

Recordings with "Stop & Frisk Watch" start with the tap of a button and filming can be stopped by shaking the phone.

Users are then prompted to answer a few brief questions about the images captured on camera and they can be automatically emailed to the NYCLU.

District Attorney, Press Release Orange County DA Office

Santa Ana City Councilman Carlos Bustamante, serving on the City Council since 2004. He has been with Orange County Public Works since 2003, most recently as an administrative manager. He has been active in local politics for many years.

The Orange County District Attorney’s Office became aware of allegations against this defendant in March of this year, and we have been working diligently and against the clock on the investigation.

Over 50 witnesses have been interviewed, many of whom were very reluctant to get involved. For his sexual assault-related crimes, Bustamante is accused of sexually assaulting at least seven women who worked under him in his official capacity at Orange County Public Works between 2003 and 2011.

There are at least 12 other victims. Even though we cannot charge the defendant for these additional victims due to the statute of limitations, we are going to fight for justice on their behalf. We will seek to introduce evidence in court that Bustamante had the propensity to commit the crimes against Jane Does 1 through 7, based on the crimes he also committed against the other 12 victims.
