“The dark angels of anti-security, hacker collective Anonymous, have set eyes on Facebook for its alleged large-scale security violations and sell-off of private individuals' data to government agencies.”

“Aruba Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARUN), which provided and maintained the wireless network for last week’s Black Hat USA 2011 conference in Las Vegas, Nev., today provided some interesting statistics around the network’s use. Black Hat is the world’s largest annual gathering of computer hackers, and has become one of the most important computer and networking security shows as a result.”

“ This letter formally transmits the enclosed final briefing in response to a request from the House Armed Services Committee, Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities, that asked GAO to examine the Department of Defense’s (DOD) cyber and information assurance budget for fiscal year 2012 and future years defense spending. The objectives of this review were to (1) assess the extent to which DOD has prepared an overarching budget estimate for full-spectrum cyberspace operations across the department; and (2) identify the challenges DOD has faced in providing such estimates. We provided your offices a preliminary briefing on these issues on April 28, 2011. “

“A number of research have shown promising outcomes in detecting novel cyber attacks by applying data mining based anomaly detection techniques but most of them are not suitable for real-time cyber attack detection in a hospital network environment. This dissertation work presents design and implementation of a probabilistic data mining based cyber attack defense technique suitable for hospital information network. Utilizing weekly basis real-world hospital network traffic data for training the detection algorithm showed promising detection capabilities compared to a commercially used Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). The cyber defense technique developed in this dissertation work also had the capability of generating real-time cyber attack alert notification to administrator.”

“Naturally, federal agents have been hanging out at hacker gatherings for years to snoop. “Cloak and dagger,” as one put it. This time they came with another purpose: to schmooze, impress and, perhaps ultimately, lure. The United States Cyber Command, the Pentagon’s Internet defense arm, “has a work force issue,” said Daron Hartvigsen, special agent with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. ‘We have needs that some in this community can solve. We need folks with skills.’ “

“With news just breaking that over 72 government and private organisations have fallen victim to cyber attacks, the debate about cyber security is more pertinent than ever. Yet, as Anonymous hackers continue to be targeted by the FBI, the question arises; has Anonymous and LulzSec's "hacktivism" helped the world get serious about hacking before it's too late?The Recent AttackEarlier today Security company McAfee revealed that it had uncovered what appears to be the largest coordinated hacking campaign ever seen, with 72 government and business organisations networks all being compromised.The laundry-list of victims included the United States, Taiwanese, Indian, South Korean, Vietnamese and Canadian governments. The report also highlighted the United Nations (UN), International Olympic Committee (IOC), the World Anti-Doping Agency and numerous tech companies -- some with high-profile military contracts -- as other targets.The campaign was discovered when McAffee researchers stumbled upon logs of the attacks on a server it was reviewing while investigating the 2009 defence company data breaches.According to the security firm the earliest network intrusions found thus far date back to mid-2006, possibly even earlier.”
