Malware Intelligence of Modern Crimeware
Computer/online security, Cyberscams, malware, spam, Methods & Process, Privacy, Technologies
MalwareIntelligence is a site dedicated to the investigation of crimes committed using the Internet as the main channel of attack. Also, anything that involves maneuvering and criminal activities in this area, covering a wide spectrum in the field of computer criminology.
The mission is to work in a completely disinterested in the continuous improvement in prevention to security incidents that allow for timely contingency threats.
Thus MalwareIntelligence behind is a group of professionals in research, intelligence and information security, which fuse the various processes involved in these disciplines to offer exclusive content, quality and high value for the resolution of computer crime.
MalwareIntelligence currently has two divisions:
MalwareDisasters is devoted to analyzing malicious code from a purely involved in intelligence processes. The content expressed in this division refers mainly to activities “visual” of malware.
SecurityIntelligence channels information on information security, also from the standpoint of intelligence processes, resulting in a high-value content to understand the need to merge Intelligence in Information Security.

Journal: US Secretary of Education Does Not Get It…

Tech-loving U.S. education chief ‘not a fan' of Microsoft Xbox 360

His opinion might not carry the weight of Snoop Dogg and LL Cool J among the country's schoolchildren, but Arne Duncan, the U.S. education secretary, is adamant in this New York Times Q&A today when asked if he would ever buy an Xbox for his children.
“Not a fan. No, absolutely not.”
Phi Beta Iota: Grand Theft Auto, and X-Box, have made huge differences in children's lives. X-Box Live is social networking and social problem-solving of very high value. What we have here is US education being run by a guy who got the job because he was a local pal of the President. He is so out of touch with the reality of what digital natives want and need that he confirms our view that education, intelligence, and research need to be under one big brain that can redirect three fifths or more of the secret intelligence budget to a total make-over of education, intelligence, and high-tech research & development in the context of one integrated “smart nation.”
Journal: Make & Acknowledge Mistakes…
UncategorizedOne continuous mistake: single-minded effort
by jonl on September 19, 2010
This came in via Tricycle Magazine’s “Daily Dharma” today:
Several years ago, a sociologist studied students in a neurosurgery program to see what qualities separated those who succeeded from those who failed. He found ultimately that two questions in his interviews pointed to the crucial difference. He would ask the students, “Do you ever make mistakes? If so, what is the worst mistake you’ve ever made?” Those who failed the program would inevitably answer that they rarely made mistakes or else would blame their mistakes on factors beyond their control. Those who succeeded in the program not only admitted to many mistakes but also volunteered information on what they would do not to repeat those mistakes in the future.

Technologists look to a new White House to reverse decade-long slide in R&D
By Gary Anthes, ComputerWorld, October 21, 2008
By most measures, the U.S. is in a decade-long decline in global technological competitiveness. The reasons are many and complex, but central among them is the country's retreat from long-term basic research in science and technology, coupled with a surge in R&D by countries such as China.
Tip of the Hat to Lynn Wheeler at LinkedIn.
Phi Beta Iota: This ties in perfectly with US secret intelligence fraud, waste, and abuse (hand-outs to corporations for vapor-ware, see our quick study 2010: OPINION–America’s Cyber Scam); and also with Chuck Spinney's long-standing concerns about the plans-reality mismatch and the criminal insanity of raising two generations of engineers who know nothing but “government specification cost plus” production.

08 Wild Cards, Government, IO Secrets, Officers CallQuantum Cryptography Breached With Lasers
Using lasers to blind quantum cryptography photon detectors, Norwegian computer scientists were able to obtain a copy of a secure key without leaving any trace of their presence.

Norwegian computer scientists have perfected a laser-based attack against quantum cryptography systems that allows them to eavesdrop on communications without revealing their presence.
Phi Beta Iota: Clever Norwegians. We have zero sympathy. The US secret community, at $75 billion a year and climbin, is beyond waste, fraud, and abuse and heavily into betrayal of the public trust as well as high crimes and misdemeanors. It should be scaled back to $25 billion or less and the savings redirected to education & research. The reality is that what the US taxpayer–and all other citizens everywhere need–are transparent governments that create trust, enjoy legitimacy, and can deliver value.
