Stagefright-Like Vulnerability Hits Apple Devices - http://gplus.ly/29ZkJPy

The vulnerability can be triggered by sending images in the Messages app; says it's been patched, but users need to update. The security holes affect image rendering, and can be triggered in any apps that use the Apple Image I/O API when rendering tiled TIFF images, according to researchers. The scale of this potential vulnerability is off the charts. According to Apple, 14 per cent of iOS devices run iOS 8 or earlier, the software which the vulnerability is present and as there are more than 690 million active iOS devices, this could mean almost 100 million iPhones, iPads and iPods running Apple’s mobile operating system are vulnerable to the hack.

Cici’s Pizza: Card Breach at 130+ Locations - http://gplus.ly/29ZjYWQ

Cici’s Pizza, a Coppell, Texas-based fast-casual restaurant chain, today acknowledged a credit card breach at more than 135 locations. In a statement released Tuesday evening, Cici’s said that in early March 2016, the company received reports from several of its restaurant locations that point-of-sale systems were not working properly. “The point-of-sale vendor immediately began an investigation to assess the problem and initiated heightened security measures,” the company said in a press release. “After malware was found on some point-of-sale systems, the company began a restaurant-by-restaurant review and remediation, and retained a…

Website Backup = Peace of Mind + More - http://gplus.ly/2akfpcM

“Data backup means more than just piece of mind, says Matthew Richards, Product Director at GoDaddy. “It’s the difference between a business failing and a business succeeding.”

Inconsistent, Non-Existent, or Unreliable backup "solutions" is a serious issue facing many small and medium sized businesses. At best, they may be inconvenienced; at worse, they may find themselves unable to recover.

While it is definitely in the best interest of the web host to provide backup and recovery solutions to SMB so that disruption can be minimized and security maintained, there are obstacles that can stand in the way.

In this article, we outline the reasons why implementing a self-serve SaaS data backup solution, such as Dropmysite.com by Dropsuite, for your web hosting company can boost your revenue and help your business customers improve their threat response by providing website backup peace of mind.

Today's Challenge - http://gplus.ly/29MP72r

As you can see from the graphic below, data loss is a significant problem for people and businesses in today's world. A whopping 20% of emails get hacked every year ... that is 1 in 5! Cell phones are lost or stolen at an astonishing rate in the U.S. and 30,0000 websites get hacked every day!

All of this combined adds up to a HUGE amount of lost data ... and the major problem comes in when you realize that 62% of SME's DO NOT routinely backup their data, putting them at great risk for a potentially devastating loss of important data.

These challenges also present a huge opportunity. In fact, online backup is one of the fastest growing segments in the cloud-based services industry. Partnering with Dropsuite offers substantial benefits to partners, and consumer and business customers.

Millions of Android Devices Infected by a Chinese Advertising Firm
In case you needed a reminder that hacking is big business: a group of cybercriminals operating as part of a Chinese advertising firm, has been running a malicious ad racket that rakes in roughly $300,000 monthly, according to Check Point, an Israeli cybersecurity company. The gang juiced clicks to make about $300,000 per month in fraudulent revenue. The malware worked by installing a bundle of software known as a rootkit that gives computer crackers total control over infected devices, letting them engage in ad fraud. The campaign, dubbed “HummingBad” by the researchers, allowed the group to discreetly display a total of 20 million ads, generate 2.5 million clicks, and download 50,000 apps on the compromised machines per day, earning them about $10,000 daily.

EasyDoc malware adds Tor backdoor to Macs for botnet control
Security firm Bitdefender has issued an alert about a malicious app that hands over control of Macs to criminals via Tor.

Instead it drops complex malware onto the system that subverts the security of the system, allowing it to be used as part of a botnet or to spy on the owner.

How an experimental cryptocurrency lost (and found) $53 million
Last week, users of the Ethereum cryptocurrency woke up to some very alarming news. Someone was trying out a new attack on one of the currency’s biggest and richest institutions, the Decentralized Autonomous Organization or DAO. The DAO holds immense cash reserves, and someone had figured out a way to drain out $53 million. Because of the nature of Ethereum, developers could still see where the money was and how much had been taken, and it would be impossible to spend for at least 27 days. But the massive and sudden theft created an unprecedented crisis for a project that was once hailed as the future of the blockchain, and a mad dash to keep tens of millions of dollars from slipping permanently out of reach.

Business Continuity vs. Disaster Recovery

What's the difference, you ask? Quite a bit actually! Understanding the difference is important so your organization can plan for each of them.

Business Continuity Planning (BCP) seeks to insure that an organization's essential processes and procedures continue to operate during and after a disaster. In other words, the things that need to happen so that business can continue while protecting their mission critical services and giving themselves their best chance of survival while they seek to re-establish services to a fully functional level as quickly as possible. BCPs generally cover most or all of an organization's critical business processes and operations.

Ask questions like: "If we lost our building due to a flood or other disaster, how would we continue our business?" You would then perhaps research alternative temporary locations that could be available to you at a moment's notice and include these in your plans.

A Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) is normally a part of the BCP and may actually be a series of DRPs. These plans are more technical that are developed for specific groups within an organization to allow them to recover a particular business application.

Ask questions like: "If we lost our email services how would recover them?" If you have backups (you do, right?), then you would include procedures to restore from backup in your plan. If you do not have backups, then this question should prompt you to research backup solutions (Hint: http://gplus.ly/28FTFgl).

Any questions?

Russian government hackers penetrated DNC, stole opposition research on Trump
Russian government hackers penetrated the computer network of the Democratic National Committee and gained access to the entire database of opposition research on GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump, according to committee officials and security experts who responded to the breach. The intruders so thoroughly compromised the DNC’s system that they also were able to read all email and chat traffic, said DNC officials and the security experts. Russia has denied involvement.

Journalist convicted on hacking charges tries to stay out of prison during appeal
Matthew Keys convicted of passing CMS login that resulted in brief defacement at LA Times. The 29-year-old was convicted in 2015 of three counts of conspiracy and criminal hacking under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and was sentenced earlier this year to two years in prison. For now, Keys is due to report to federal prison in Lompoc, California, next week. The appeal largely rests on the argument that Keys’ alleged actions—providing access to a content management system that ultimately resulted in the brief defacement of one Los Angeles Times article—caused no actual damage, and therefore, there was no damage under the CFAA.
