Karmen Ransomware Variant Introduced by Russian Hacker

Karmen Ransomware Variant Introduced by Russian Hacker: "The Karmen malware derived from “Hidden Tear,” an open source ransomware project, available for purchase by anyone. As is typical for ransomware infections, Karmen encrypts files on the infected machine using the strong AES-256 encryption protocol, making them inaccessible to the user and may trigger a ransom note or instructions demanding that the user pay a large sum of money to obtain the decryption key from the attacker."

2012 Study finds 90 percent have no recent cybersecurity training

Study finds 90 percent have no recent cybersecurity training: "That 68/32 split you see in the pie chart rang a bell with us because it mirrored a different ESET poll, conducted by Harris earlier this year. The purpose of that poll was to study implications of the bring-your-own-device or BYOD trend. We asked employed U.S. adults if they had received any kind of computer security training from their employer and only 32 percent said they had. Another 64 percent said they had not and 4 percent said they couldn’t recall having such training, which probably means it was not worth remembering."

Protecting Remote Access to Your Computer: RDP Attacks and Server Credentials for Sale | Duo Security

Protecting Remote Access to Your Computer: RDP Attacks and Server Credentials for Sale | Duo Security is great advice from Duo:

• Scan publicly listed IPs for any open RDP or SSH ports, and block them. 
• Monitor and analyze logs to identify any unusual user behavior on your network. 
• Deploy an endpoint solution that can give you actionable data about the devices authenticating into your environment - which can tell you where users are coming from, when, and with what IP address.
• Implement two-factor authentication on all account logins, including privileged and administrative, which can deter criminals from successful remote brute-force attacks. 
• Don’t share or reuse passwords; this can stop the spread of compromise if one server is breached with stolen administrator/root account credentials. 
• Create custom policies and controls that dictate which applications can be accessed remotely, and by whom. 
• Limit the number of administrator RDP accounts, or remove them completely if not needed. 
• Set an account lockout policy that locks accounts after a certain number of incorrect guesses, to prevent the success of brute-force attacks.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions Delivers Remarks on Efforts to Combat Violent Crime and Restore Public Safety Before Federal, State and Local Law Enforcement | OPA | Department of Justice

Attorney General Jeff Sessions Delivers Remarks on Efforts to Combat Violent Crime and Restore Public Safety Before Federal, State and Local Law Enforcement | OPA | Department of Justice: "First, we should keep in mind some context.  Overall, crime rates in our country remain near historic lows.  Murder rates are half of what they were in 1980.  The rate of violent crime has fallen by almost half from its peak.  

The people of Richmond have seen this progress firsthand.  Since 1995, murder and violent crime rates in Richmond have fallen by two-thirds.  You have watched neighborhoods that were once in the grip of gangs and drugs transformed into places where kids can play and parents can take walks after sunset without fear.  

In the past four decades, we have won great victories against crime in America.  This happened under leadership from both political parties, and thanks above all to the work of prosecutors and good police using data-driven methods and professional training.  Hundreds of thousands of Americans are alive today as a result."
