GandCrab Ransomware Found Hiding on Legitimate Websites

The GandCrab ransomware continues to virulently spread and adapt to shifting cyber-conditions, most recently crawling back into relevance on the back of several large-scale spam campaigns. What’s interesting is that GandCrab payload was found hiding on legitimate but compromised websites. These,...

Ray Ozzie's Encryption Backdoor

Last month, Wired published a long article about Ray Ozzie and his supposed new scheme for adding a backdoor in encrypted devices. It's a weird article. It paints Ozzie's proposal as something that "attains the impossible" and "satisfies both law enforcement and privacy purists," when 1 it's bare...

NIST Issues Call for "Lightweight Cryptography" Algorithms

This is interesting: Creating these defenses is the goal of NIST's lightweight cryptography initiative, which aims to develop cryptographic algorithm standards that can work within the confines of a simple electronic device. Many of the sensors, actuators and other micromachines that will functio...

Microsoft Windows 10: Deny log on as a service

This policy setting determines which users are prevented from logging on to the service applications on a device. A service is an application type that runs in the system background without a user interface. It provides core operating system features, such as web serving, event logging, file...

Two NSA Algorithms Rejected by the ISO

The ISO has rejected two symmetric encryption algorithms: SIMON and SPECK. These algorithms were both designed by the NSA and made public in 2013. They are optimized for small and low-cost processors like IoT devices. The risk of using NSA-designed ciphers, of course, is that they include...
