According to Mirror Online, the youngster is studying computing at college.

This gave the 18-year-old full control over the site, including the ability to “delete and suspend users, change the site’s name, censor certain words and manage the eventual ads”, as well as being able to “see everyone’s emails”.

Go to starcon.net.kp and you’ll find a very familiar looking website.

China is readying to launch its first ‘hack proof’ quantum communication satellite

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, quantum physics

Personally, if this doesn’t spook you then I have to question your sanity.


Quantum communication and quantum teleportation are two technologies ancient India invented and mastered. It saddens me to see the Chinese stealing a march in these fields. India must formulate a response by studying Vedic texts to rediscovered the blueprints to these advanced technologies. I’m confident that under Modi-ji’s brilliant leadership, India will quickly surpass China and America in the field of quantum teleportation and quantum communication by 2020!

A computer that uses 8-inch floppy disks “coordinates the operational functions“ for nuclear forces

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, government

America’s Department of Defense (DOD) “coordinates the operational functions of the United States’ nuclear forces with a 1970s computer system that uses 8-inch floppy disks” says a report by the United States Government Accountability Office.


On January 13, US President Barack Obama, speaking at the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC), addressed the issue of cybersecurity, one day after the official Twitter account for the US Central Command (Centcom) was hacked by supporters of the Islamic State.

Ransomware: the digital plague infecting the world

Posted by in categories: bitcoin, cybercrime/malcode, economics, encryption

“The individuals who do these types of attacks are well aware of the pressure points and pain points, economic-wise,” says Dr. John Hale, a cybersecurity expert at the University of Tulsa. “They know what they can extract, how much they can extract.

“They prey upon two things: an organization’s reliance on information systems and two, the common situation, where an organization is a little bit behind on backup procedures and policies to prevent these types of things. It really is easy pickings for the bad guys.”

Crypto ransomware is designed to encrypt data stored on the computer, making the data useless unless the user obtains the key to decrypt it. A message details the ransom, which is typically paid in digital currencies such as bitcoin. Locker ransomware locks the computer or device’s interface — save for the ability to interact with the hacker — and demands money to restore it.

Digital Shadows — new tool helps organisations peer inside data breaches

Posted by in categories: business, cybercrime/malcode, singularity

Hmmmmm.


“We had analysts crawling all over that,” says Chappell of the Hold Security cache. “Quickly it was clear that a lot of those were from previous breaches.”

Anyone using this tool would have had a rapid assessment of their potential exposure. If breached data turns out to be new, the next task is to understand how it might have ended up in the hands of criminals. There are several sources for breached data including straight database theft but also phishing attacks and malware campaigns, each with its own dynamics and set of business implications.
