1. Concerns About AGI DevelopmentDeepMind's 108-page report outlines four major risks of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI):Misuse: AGI used maliciously (e.g., creating viruses).Misalignment: AGI acting contrary to intended goals.Mistakes: Errors causing unintended harm, especially in high-stakes sectors like defense.Structural Risks: Long-term impacts on trust, power, and truth in society. While safety measures are urged, full control of AGI remains uncertain.2. Improving Machine Learning SecurityThe open-source community is adopting model signing (via Sigstore), applying digital signatures to AI models. This ensures the model's authenticity and integrity—helping prevent the use of tampered or untrusted code in AI systems.3. Risks from AI Coding AssistantsA newly identified threat—Rules File Backdoor—allows attackers to embed malicious instructions in configuration files used by AI coding assistants (like GitHub Copilot or Cursor). This can lead to AI-generated code with hidden vulnerabilities, increasing risk through shared or open-source repos.4. Italy's Controversial Piracy ShieldPiracy Shield, Italy's system for blocking pirated content, has mistakenly blacklisted legitimate services like Google Drive. Critics highlight issues around lack of transparency, violations of net neutrality and digital rights, and risks of censorship. Despite backlash, the system is being expanded, raising further concerns.5. EU's Push on Data Access and EncryptionThe EU's ProtectEU strategy includes strengthening Europol into a more FBI-like agency and proposing roadmaps for law enforcement access to encrypted data. This indicates a potential push toward backdoor access, reigniting debates on privacy vs. security.6. Cyberattacks on Australian Pension FundsCoordinated cyberattacks have compromised over 20,000 accounts across Australian retirement funds, with some user savings stolen. The incidents expose vulnerabilities in financial infrastructure, prompting a government initiative to bolster sector-wide cybersecurity.7. Lessons from Oracle's Security BreachesOracle reported two separate breaches in a short span. The latest involved theft of outdated login credentials. These incidents reveal persistent challenges in securing large tech platforms and highlight the need for ongoing security improvements and scrutiny of legacy systems.8. Closure of OpenSNP Genetic DatabaseOpenSNP is shutting down after 14 years, deleting all user data due to rising concerns over misuse of genetic data, especially amid growing political threats from authoritarian regimes. The founder emphasized protecting vulnerable populations and reevaluated the risks of continued data availability versus its research value.

EP 237. DeepMind just released a 108-page manual on not getting wiped out by our own invention.  Highlighting the fact that planning for an AI apocalypse could now be a core business line function.Sigstore machine learning model signing - AI models are finally getting digital signatures, because “mystery code from the internet” just wasn't a scalable trust strategy.Turns out your AI  programmer can be tricked into writing malware.  Helping us understand that “copilot” isn't necessarily synonymous with “competent”.Italy's anti-piracy tool is blocking legit services like it's playing "whack-a-mole" blindfolded, but in this case the moles are  cloud storage, like your Google drive.The EU wants Europol to act like the FBI because privacy for our citizens is important, except when we want to read their encrypted messages.Hackers hit Aussie retirement funds, proving the only thing scarier than blowing through all your retirement money is someone else blowing through it all for you.Oracle's been hacked again—because who doesn't love a sequel with worse security and a bigger cleanup bill?OpenSNP just quit the internet after realizing DNA + authoritarian vibes = one dystopia too many.This week is a wild ride, so saddle up and hold on tight!

Ermittler:innen ist es gelungen, eine kinderpornografische Streamingplattform abzuschalten. Nun müssten die Personalien der Tatverdächtigen ermittelt werden, was lange dauern könnte, sagt Markus Hartmann, Zentral- und Ansprechstelle Cybercrime NRW. Von WDR 5.

Bayerische Ermittler und Europol haben im Darknet ein riesiges Netzwerk von Pädosexuellen zerschlagen. Die US-Zölle kommen - wie gehen NRW-Firmen damit um? Erschwerte Einreise - für Großbritannien braucht man jetzt eine Genehmigung. Von Jutta Hammann.

Die EU-Kommission stellt "ProtectEU" vor: Europol soll einsatzfähiger werden und Sicherheitsbehörden besseren Zugriff auf Daten bekommen. Solch ein legaler Zugriff sei wichtig, sagt EU-Abgeordnete und Kriminalpolizistin Verena Mertens (CDU). Von WDR 5.

Forecast = Cloudy with a chance of cyber meatballs. ‍ We're not fooling around in this episode of Storm⚡️Watch! The show kicks off with some positive news about the Journal Times returning to full operations following a cyberattack. This is followed by important information for VMware users regarding Broadcom's significant licensing changes effective April 10, including an increase in minimum core requirements from 16 to 72 cores per command line and a new 20% penalty for late subscription renewals that will be applied retroactively. The crew then reviews results from their recent poll asking listeners which feature of encrypted messaging apps concerns them most, with options including data storage, unencrypted backups, metadata, and accidental adds. In our first segment, we discuss security concerns with the Unitree Go1 consumer-grade robot dog, specifically focusing on the recently disclosed Zhexi Oray Tunnel backdoor that has raised alarm in the security community. Next up, the team explores FamousSparrow and their SparrowDoor malware, examining the techniques and implications of this threat actor's operations. In light of recent event, the hosts provide comprehensive guidance on secure messaging practices, drawing from recent Washington Post and Wired articles. They emphasize that secure communication depends not just on the app but also on how you use it. Key recommendations include choosing contacts wisely, securing your devices by using personal rather than work equipment, setting messages to automatically delete, and selecting the right messaging apps with Signal being the top recommendation for its verifiable end-to-end encryption. They also warn about potential vulnerabilities in cross-platform messaging and advise caution with apps like Telegram. We quickly review Europol's 2025 report on the evolving landscape of organized crime, which now heavily intersects with cybercrime. Traditional criminal networks have transformed into technology-driven enterprises using AI, blockchain, and cryptocurrency to enhance their operations. The internet has become the primary theater for organized crime with data as the new currency of power. The report identifies seven key threat areas and calls for improved global financial security measures, noting that criminal asset confiscation remains stagnant at around 2%. Finally, we conclude with updates from our benevolent overlords, including Censys' reports on JunOS vulnerabilities and Kubernetes issues, VulnCheck's partnership with Filigran, runZero's approach to exposure management, and GreyNoise's observations on DrayTek router activity and Palo Alto Networks scanner activity that may indicate upcoming threats.

In de podcast het verhaal van Jamal (niet zijn echte naam) die op zijn 13e geronseld werd om criminelen te helpen. Inmiddels is hij 16 en zet hij zelf andere 'sukkels' aan het werk.  Het jongerenkanaal van de NOS, NOS Stories, dook in de wereld van ronselaars en geronselde kinderen in het criminele circuit. Presentator Crystalina Agyeman-Prempeh sprak onder meer met een 16-jarige jongen die vrijuit vertelt over zijn criminele activiteiten. Zelf werd hij op zijn dertiende benaderd en inmiddels zet hij andere jongens aan het werk. 'Die klusjes laat ik doen door kneuzen,' zegt hij. 'Want zelf doen, dat is teveel risico. En ja, ik weet wel dat ik deze jongens meetrek in het criminele leven, maar goed, dat is natuurlijk hun eigen keuze.' De Europese politiedienst Europol waarschuwt voor de kwetsbaarheid van jongeren. Zij zouden steeds vaker "het vuile werk" voor criminele organisaties opknappen. Abdellaziz Akhath is jongerenwerker, werkte 10 jaar in een jeugdgevangenis, en staat in nauw contact met jongens die in het criminele circuit terecht zijn gekomen of ertegenaan schurken. Hij vertelt vanuit de praktijk welke verhalen hij tegenkomt. 'We krijgen het steeds drukker.'  Reageren? Mail dedag@nos.nl Presentatie & Montage: Elisabeth Steinz Redactie: Lisa Konings

Destabilisation is not only about getting money anymore. It's also about helping ideologically oriented states to reach their goals, Europol Director Catherine De Bolle tells Radio SchumanEuropol new study finds the latest trends in organised crime, revealing an increase in the use of AI tools in criminal activities including money laundering, fraud, and scams. “In fact, the system is training itself and you don't need 200 people anymore to send all the mails,” says Europol's Executive Director Catherine De Bolle, regarding the adoption of AI in organized criminal activities, “The AI system is even more accurate than the human letter, so you do not really find the mistakes anymore.” Europol also noted a growing cooperation between organised crime groups and foreign actors aiming to destabilise the EU. As a result, monetary gains from the crimes are no longer their only incentive. Radio Schuman also features discussions on the European Union's response to growing security concerns at its eastern borders and the uncertain US involvement in European defence, as well as this year's recipient of the Hunyadi János Award.

Vicepreședinte român al Parlamentului European: „Dacă România nu se schimbă, la putere va veni „tatăl” lui Georgescu” (Adevărul) - Un important sociolog oferă o explicație pentru apariția „poporului lui Georgescu” (HotNews) - România online | Ce se ascunde în spatele războiului pentru atenție de pe rețelele de socializare (Europa Liberă) - Joaca de-a naziștii în România. Amenințări cu pistolul la tâmplă sau cu decapitarea, ignorate de autorități pe motiv că anchetele costă prea mult (Libertatea) „Coliva" lui Georgescu și bătălia lui Simion (SpotMedia)Odată cu validarea de către CCR a candidaturii lui George Simion se schimbă paradigma electorală.O certitudine este că marea majoritate a voturilor lui Călin Georgescu se vor diviza între George Simion și Victor Ponta, care este de așteptat să preia masiv din pesediștii captați de Georgescu și care nu au niciun interes pentru Crin Antonescu.Cine cât va lua depinde în linii mari de două întrebări-cheie ale zilelor viitoare1.Ce va face Călin Georgescu? Singurul mesaj pe care aceasta l-a transmis după invalidarea de către CCR este că și-a încheiat misiunea și fiecare să facă ce și cum îl duce capul la alegerile din mai...Lipsa susținerii ar putea să-l coste pe Simion câteva procente decisive pentru intrarea în turul al doilea. Este probabil ceea ce vrea și Calin Georgescu, pentru că odată intrat Simion în finală, Georgescu va dispărea cu totul.2.Ce va face Anamaria Gavrilă?Înțelegerea era că se vor înscrie și Simion și Gavrilă, ca plasă de siguranță, însă dacă vor fi validați se va retrage cel mai post clasat. Dacă dna Gavrilă nu se retrage sau nu o face înainte de fi tipărite buletinele de vot, va ciupi câteva mii de voturi de la Simion. Și cum lupta pentru turul al doilea se anunță teribilă, fiecare vot contează.Nu aș exclude, scrie jurnalista Ioana Ene Dogioiu pe pagina SpotMedia, ca însuși Călin Georgescu să o țină acolo tocmai pentru ca Simion să rateze turul al doilea și el să poată redeveni liderul izolaționiștilor.Vicepreședinte român al Parlamentului European: „Dacă România nu se schimbă, la putere va veni „tatăl” lui Georgescu” (Adevărul)Nicu Ștefănuță, vicepreședinte român al Parlamentului European, susține că România nu are o infrastructură industrială care să-i permită obținerea de fonduri europene masive pentru producția de armament, dar poate să se pregătească pentru război construindu-și o „infrastructură beton”.Independentul Nicu Ștefănuță, al doilea vicepreședinte român al Parlamentului European, a explicat pentru „Adevărul” că în situațiile de criză, cum a fost pandemia și cum este acum războiul din Ucraina, banii necesari pentru gestionarea problemelor sunt luați de la țările care nu au reușit să acceseze fondurile.În acest context, România stă foarte prost, în condițiile în care timp de un an și jumătate politicienii s-au concentrat doar pe alegeri și nu pe atragerea și ducerea la finalizare a proiectelor finanțate din fonduri europene.Ștefănuță avertizează că „dacă România nu se schimbă și mergem la fel ca până acum, peste patru ani nu va veni un Georgescu, ci va veni „tatăl” lui Georgescu”.INTERVIU. Teoria restanțelor la plata facturilor. Un important sociolog oferă o explicație pentru apariția „poporului lui Georgescu” (HotNews)“Poporul român” a renăscut în noiembrie 2024 pentru că un anume Călin Georgescu l-a făcut vizibil. Același “popor român” este dorit la vot, în mai 2025, pentru a alege, printre alții, pe succesorii lui Georgescu: George Simion sau Ana Maria Gavrilă.. Cine este acest “popor român”? L-am întrebat pe sociologul Dumitru Sandu, unul dintre cei mai respectați sociologi români.În interviul pentru Hotnews, Dumitru Sandu analizează ultimul sondaj Europol care relevă două tendințe clare:“Miscările sociale de protest și nemulțumire din România par să fi fost stimulate, în principal, de proasta funcțonare a instituțiilor, de corupția instituțională care a dus la această situație.” Sănătatea este, din acest punct de vedere, pe primul loc.Preocuparea privind Sănătatea este cea a bărbaților care nu mai sunt așa tineri și au dificultăți în plata facturilor lunare. Ei se întreabă: în situația dată de vârsta mea, de perpetuarea datoriilor mele, mă pot baza pe Spital, doctori? Răspunsul este Nu!”România online | Ce se ascunde în spatele războiului pentru atenție de pe rețelele de socializare (Europa Liberă)În România, 13 milioane de oameni folosesc rețele sociale la nivelul anului 2025, arată ultimele date de la DataReportal. Asta înseamnă că 68,6% din populația totală a României e conectată la social media.Cât de mult influențează informația primită de algoritmii social media deciziile din viața reală? Cum arată România online? Cum poate fi depistat un fake news?Europa Liberă a stat de vorbă cu oameni obișnuiți - utilizatori de social media, experți media, profesori care se ocupă de combaterea dezinformării și psihologi. Încercăm să explicăm mecanismele prin care suntem sau devenim victime ale manipulării pe internet.România preia în 2025 măsuri dure de protecție adoptate de Uniunea Europeană încă din 2022În pragul alegerilor prezidențiale programate pe 4 mai, Guvernul și Autoritatea Naţională pentru Administrare şi Reglementare în Comunicaţii (ANCOM) pregătesc o ordonanță de urgență împotriva campaniilor de fake-news din online.Măsurile ar trebui să intre în vigoare înainte de începerea campaniei electorale, adică înainte de 4 aprilie.Joaca de-a naziștii în România. Amenințări cu pistolul la tâmplă sau cu decapitarea, ignorate de autorități pe motiv că anchetele costă prea mult (Libertatea)Valul de neonazism promovat intens în ultimele luni de mișcările de extremă dreaptă se manifesta violent în România de cel puțin doi ani. Derapajele adepților acestui curent, care a ajuns să pună în pericol securitatea națională, au fost tratate însă cu indulgență de autorități. Adepții care au amenințat oameni nevinovați cu pistolul la tâmplă, cu moartea prin decapitare sau aruncatul cadavrelor în gropi comune au primit pedepse cu suspendare sau amânare.  Au fost inclusiv cazuri când procurorii au renunțat la anchetă, invocând un efort financiar și uman mult prea mare în raport cu gravitatea faptelor, iar infractorii au rămas neidentificați.Exemple concrete în ziarul Libertatea.

Hello, and welcome to episode 148 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast, I'm Chris Kirkbride. On sanctions, threats to Russia from the US, minor changes to the UK sanctions regime, and a couple of pieces of reading I wanted to share. On money laundering, a crypto exchange take-down in the US, while on bribery and corruption, activity in the EU against alleged corruption. On fraud, interesting stories from the US with warnings of fraud and the scale of fraud committed against citizens. On other financial crime news, Europol has announced that its EU Serious and Organised Crime Threat Assessment 2025, and we end this week with a round-up of cybercrime news.A transcript of this podcast, with links to the stories, will be available by Monday at www.crimes.financial.

Our Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau (GNDOCB) was established ten years ago this month, in March 2015. Last year, Detective Chief Superintendent Séamus Boland spoke to the Garda Podcast about the history of the bureau and its determination to disrupt, dismantle and prosecute those taking part in organised crime in Ireland.Over the last ten years, the GNDOCB has seized:• €627 million in illicit drugs• 171 firearms and 6,586 rounds of ammunition• cash €33,284,931, £385,591 GBP, $59,721 USD and• €20,103,030 forfeited to the state• 1,722 arrests for drug trafficking, money laundering, possession of firearms and other offences.The GNDOCB has interdicted in numerous ‘threat to life' operations where individuals were being targeted by criminal gangs.The GNDOCB leads on Operation Tara, to disrupt, dismantle and prosecute drug trafficking networks, at all levels - international, national, local - involved in the importation, distribution, cultivation, production, local sale and supply of controlled drugs. Under Operation Tara, individuals and groups involved in the drug trade are the target of enforcement activity based on intelligence and the latest crime trends.The GNDOCB co-ordinates and supports Divisional Drugs Units with a strong focus on tackling street-level dealing in cities, towns and villages across the country.The GNDOCB also supports An Garda Síochána's well-established Drug Related Intimidation Reporting Programme and supports the Government-led health approach to drug addiction.Under Operation Thor, the GNDOCB co-ordinates and supports Divisional resources actively targeting organised crime gangs and repeat offenders, particularly involved in rural burglaries and crimes, through enforcement activity based on intelligence and the latest burglary trends.The GNDOCB actively works with other state agencies including Revenue Customs, and the Irish Naval Service through the Joint Task Force on Drug Interdiction, Criminal Assets Bureau, across the island of Ireland through the Cross-Border Joint Agency Task Force and internationally with INTERPOL, Europol, MAOC (N), and wider through the network of Garda Liaison Officers and contacts in the Americas, Europe and Middle East.

Dentro del Congreso Faconauto 2025 rescatamos una charla muy interesante sobre Ciberseguridad Cibercriminalidad: soluciones y retos en la era digital Participantes: • Patricia Rodríguez Fiscal de la Sala de Cibercriminalidad de la Fiscalía General del Estado. • Roberto Cuesta Comandante de la Unidad de Coordinación de Ciberseguridad de la Guardia Civil. • Víctor Calleja Inspector de la Unidad Central de Ciberdelincuencia de la Policía Nacional. Moderador: • Juan José Matías González Responsable de prevención del fraude y del blanqueo de capitales de ASNEF. En la ponencia sobre ciberseguridad celebrada en el marco del congreso de Faconauto, se abordó la creciente preocupación ante el incremento exponencial de la cibercriminalidad en España. Según el último informe del Ministerio del Interior de 2023, se denunciaron más de 470.000 delitos informáticos, destacando que el 90% fueron fraudes online. Esta cifra representa un alarmante aumento del 600% respecto al año 2016, subrayando la necesidad urgente de abordar este fenómeno con medidas eficaces y actualizadas. Patricia Rodríguez, fiscal especializada en cibercriminalidad informática, destacó que los datos conocidos son solo la punta del iceberg, dado que muchas empresas no denuncian las brechas de seguridad que sufren, lo que genera una cifra oculta muy elevada de ciberdelitos. Cada filtración de datos permite a grupos organizados de ciberdelincuentes aprovechar esta información para cometer múltiples delitos, desde estafas y extorsiones hasta delitos contra menores. Según la fiscal, este escenario se ha visto agravado por el rápido aumento del uso de tecnologías digitales durante la pandemia, situación para la cual la sociedad no estaba preparada. Rodríguez hizo énfasis en los esfuerzos internacionales por armonizar legislaciones, mencionando directivas europeas como la NIS2 y la directiva sobre lucha contra el fraude y la falsificación de medios de pago. Aunque estas normativas ayudan, reconoció que suelen llegar con retraso frente al ritmo acelerado de innovación tecnológica y criminal. No obstante, resaltó la esperanza que representan la cooperación internacional, la convención de Budapest, y la creación de equipos conjuntos de investigación. Víctor Calleja, inspector de la Policía Nacional especializado en cibercriminalidad, explicó que la globalidad y anonimato inherentes a internet son aspectos clave que hacen atractivo el ámbito de la ciberdelincuencia para los criminales. Señaló que estos delincuentes aprovechan tecnologías como VPN o la dark web para suplantar identidades y cometer fraudes, aumentando así la dificultad para las fuerzas de seguridad al momento de realizar investigaciones eficaces y rápidas. Calleja destacó la necesidad de una estrecha cooperación entre el sector público y privado, indicando que la colaboración eficaz entre departamentos de seguridad empresarial y cuerpos policiales acelera enormemente la respuesta frente a ataques informáticos y fraudes digitales. Mencionó además la importancia de la coordinación internacional mediante organismos como Europol e Interpol para enfrentar delitos que trascienden fronteras y afectan múltiples jurisdicciones. Por último, Calleja subrayó la importancia de desarrollar investigaciones judiciales sólidas, ágiles y bien estructuradas para garantizar resultados efectivos y facilitar el trabajo tanto a la fiscalía como a las autoridades judiciales. Aseguró que, a pesar de los desafíos técnicos y la creciente sofisticación de los ciberdelincuentes, el trabajo coordinado entre fiscales, jueces y cuerpos de seguridad está logrando casos de éxito que permiten identificar y sancionar a los responsables, generando un impacto positivo en la lucha contra este tipo de criminalidad.

O sítio eletrónico russo VchGPU, próximo de algumas altas figuras dos serviços secretos militares, publicou há dois meses uma série de relatos – vindos do interior – da situação real da economia russa. A sua deterioração total em 2025 poderia levar alguns generais a aconselhar ao uso de armas nucleares para resolver am «questão ucraniana», ou até global. Trump foi informado disso. Entretanto, os EUA continuam operações contra grupos criminosos russos. A última envolveu o FBI e a Europol, no desmantelamento da empresa de criptomoeda GARANTEX.

"Wanneer je dagelijks geconfronteerd wordt met de gruwel van georganiseerde misdaad, is het gemakkelijk om jezelf af te sluiten. Maar écht leiderschap betekent menselijk blijven – tussen de mensen," deelt Catherine De Bolle in ons gesprek voor de podcast.Op het eerste gezicht lijkt Europol misschien niet de plek waar sensitiviteit een rol speelt. Maar wie beter luistert, hoort een ander verhaal. Catherine De Bolle, uitvoerend directeur van Europol, ziet sensitiviteit juist als een cruciaal onderdeel van sterk leiderschap. In deze aflevering ontdek je:

Damit war die Wahlbeteiligung bei den Bundestagswahlen so hoch wie seit Jahrzehnten nicht mehr. Warum? Sektenähnliche Gruppen sollen online gezielt Kinder kontaktieren, um sie zu manipulieren. So sollen sie Minderjährige zur Selbstverletzung anstiften oder sogar in den Suizid treiben. Das schreibt die Europäische Polizeibehörde Europol in einer Warnung. Aber Belege, dass dies ein weitverbreitetes Problem ist, sind dürftig. In Europa Fussball spielen, das ist für viele ghanaische Fussballerinnen und Fussballer der grosse Traum. Und schaffen es auch - zum Teil auch in die Schweiz. Nebst viel Talent braucht es dafür auch das Glück, von einem Fussballscout entdeckt zu werden. Wir sind mit einem unterwegs.

Our guest Tod Eberle is the Alliance Director of the Shadowserver Foundation, a non-profit security organization working altruistically behind the scenes to make the internet more secure for everyone. [3:15] Tod Eberle is with us to discuss the cybersecurity trends on his risk radar and the threats he wants risk professionals to be aware of as 2025 kicks into high gear. Shadowserver Alliance Director, Tod Eberle, welcome to RIMScast! [3:41] Justin saw that Shadowserver Foundation was promoted by the National Cybersecurity Alliance and he thought it would be great to have a follow-up on his appearance there. [3:54] Tod says the National Cybersecurity Alliance is a great organization. After working together with them for a year, they invited Tod to do a webinar. It was a great experience. [4:28] Tod's background is as a career prosecutor, starting as a county prosecutor in Western Pennsylvania in 1997. In 2004, Tod became a Federal Prosecutor in Pittsburgh for the U.S. Department of Justice. [5:00] In 2014, He transitioned over to the National Security and Cybercrime section in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh was at the forefront of cyber investigations by both the U.S. Attorney's Office and the FBI. Tod wanted to be a part of that. [5:34] The Pittsburgh office has run investigations and issued indictments against Chinese Military Intelligence officers and Russian GRU officers for hacking. In 2014, Pittsburgh had the first criminal indictment of nation-state threat actors. [6:00] In that case, Chinese Military Intelligence PLA officers hacked into Pittsburgh companies Westinghouse, ALCOA, U.S. Steel, and United Steel Workers. Some forward-thinking folks at the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office, particularly U.S. Attorney David Hickton, focused on cyber. [6:29] That continued over the years until the present. [6:46] To begin an investigation, the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office in Pittsburgh, need to have some aspect of an organization's criminal activity touch that district, the Western District of Pennsylvania. A national ransomware case with one victim in Pittsburgh can be investigated. [7:16] In the investigation of Russian GRU actors responsible for the destructive NotPetya malware attack, a district hospital's network was attacked and destroyed. They expanded the investigation and charging documents to include other attacks around the country. [7:58] In 2015 Tod was a prosecutor working with the FBI on an investigation. He was at Europol at the Hague in the Netherlands, a center that brings together investigators and prosecutors from different countries who investigate the same threat group through Europol and Eurojust. [8:33] Tod met the Shadowserver Foundation non-profit group at the Hague in 2015. They were helping, through free technical support to the takedown operation, to dismantle the infrastructure of a crime group, using sinkholing and other security measures. [9:08] Tod Joined the Shadowserver Foundation in January of 2023. He is the Shadowserver Alliance Director. As a small non-profit, everyone wears many hats. The Shadowserver Foundation is a 501(c)(3) in the U.S. and a separate non-profit legal entity in the Netherlands. [9:47] The Shadowserver Foundation started about 2004. It celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2024. It began as a loose group of volunteers made up of cybersecurity researchers and technical experts who came together to help network owners and law enforcement. [10:15] Over the years they became more structured and became a non-profit organization. It's an unusual non-profit organization working 100% in operations. It works in three core areas. First, it's the world's largest provider of free, actionable cyber threat intelligence. [10:45] Second, the Shadowserver Foundation does cybersecurity capacity-building around the world. Third, it also provides free support to law enforcement investigations and disruption operations with technical support and expertise. Those three things are its core mission. [11:07] Justin notes commonalities between RIMS cyber risk reporting and the Shadowserver Foundation's work. Shadowserver collects a vast amount of threat data daily. What are the patterns it sees for 2025? [11:29] Shadowserver Foundation can help organizations mitigate risks. It collects cyber threat data at its data center in California through internet-wide scanning, honeypot sensors, sinkholing operations, and collecting and analyzing malware samples. [11:57] Every day for free the Shadowserver Foundation takes that data and provides it to over 9,000 organizations around the world and to 201 National C-CERTs that cover about 176 countries. [12:13] These reports identify exposed, misconfigured, vulnerable, compromised instances or devices on networks that need patching. [12:25] The organizations that get Shadowserver's data can be anything from banks to hospitals, universities, K-12 school districts, ISPs, local, state, and federal governments, small, medium, and large businesses, Fortune 500s, and NGOs; just about anyone can sign up. [12:46] The idea behind this is that cyber security should be available to everyone, regardless of the ability to pay. Organizations can sign up at the Shadowserver Foundation website, and provide their contact information and network information with IP ranges and ASNs. [13:12] The Shadowserver Foundation does its due diligence and if everything checks out, it automates those reports to go out to the organization daily. About 9,000 organizations sign up directly to receive daily reports. [13:22] The Shadowserver Foundation also sends out data for entire countries to the national C-CERT designated to handle that in those countries. In the U.S., CISA gets hundreds of millions of events from them every day for all the U.S. It is the same around the world. [13:52] Tod says that some things never change. Networks are breached primarily through phishing attacks, malicious links or attachments, and social engineering. [14:09] One trend is a focus on vulnerabilities. Criminals exploit vulnerabilities in the network that aren't timely patched and before they are patched. Shadowserver gives organizations an external snapshot view of their networks just as criminals are scanning for themselves. [14:52] Cybercriminal groups increasingly leverage zero-day vulnerabilities to breach a network. A zero-day vulnerability is a flaw in software or hardware that's unknown to the vendor and has no patch. The vendor has had zero days to fix the vulnerability after it has been discovered. [15:16] That was the case with the Clop ransomware gang. In 2024, they started exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities in Fortra's GoAnywhere software. That continued in May, with them exploiting Progress Software's MOVEit file transfer application. [15:38] Very recently, in December, the Clop Ransomware group claimed responsibility for using a zero-day vulnerability in Clio's file transfer platform that breached victims' networks. [15:49] Cyber criminals extort victims and steal data with ransomware attacks. Risk managers in cybersecurity need to stay on top of critical vulnerabilities that often go unpatched. Those are often the easiest gateway into a network. [16:26] Plug Time! RIMS Webinars! Resolver will be joining us on February 6th to discuss “4 Themes Shaping the Future of GRC in 2025”. [16:38] HUB International continues its Ready for Tomorrow Series with RIMS. On February 20th, they will host “Ready for the Unexpected? Strategies for Property Valuation, Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity in 2025”. [16:54] More webinars will be announced soon and added to the RIMS.org/webinars page. Go there to register. Registration is complimentary for RIMS members. [17:06] Nominations are also open for the Donald M. Stuart Award which recognizes excellence in risk management in Canada. Links are in this episode's show notes. [17:17] The Spencer Educational Foundation's goal to help build a talent pipeline of risk management and insurance professionals is achieved in part by its collaboration with risk management and insurance educators across the U.S. and Canada. [17:35] Since 2010, Spencer has awarded over $3.3 million in general grants to support over 130 student-centered experiential learning initiatives at universities and RMI non-profits. Spencer's 2026 application process will open on May 1st, 2025, and close on July 30th, 2025. [17:58] General grant awardees are typically notified at the end of October. Learn more about Spencer's general grants through the Programs tab at SpencerEd.org. [18:08] Let's Return to the Conclusion of My Interview with Tod Eberle of Shadowserver! [18:49] Justin notes that In December of 2024, China attackers breached the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. That is the government office that assesses foreign investments for national security risks. [18:58] China also targeted the Treasury's Sanctions Office after it sanctioned a Chinese company for its alleged role in cyberattacks. [19:14] Tod thinks we should acknowledge that this is nothing new and nothing we should be surprised about. It's been going on for many years and it's going to continue. Justin was in the Federal government in 2013 and 2014. [19:32] In 2015, it was announced that the U.S. Office of Personnel Management had been breached. Personal sensitive data for 42 million people were stolen. [19:44] In May 2014, five Chinese military officers were indicted for computer hacking and economic espionage against companies based in Pittsburgh. This is nothing out of the ordinary. Unfortunately, indictments don't seem to have a deterrent effect. [20:21] Countries can deny the charges of hacking even with strong evidence of their involvement. [20:37] There are different types of hacking, with different types of motivation. There is traditional espionage against U.S. government agencies. There is theft of intellectual property with nation-states trying to gain a commercial advantage in business. [21:23] There are destructive hacks by nation-state actors, like the NotPetya attack, or attacks on the Ukrainian power grid and banking systems in 2015 and 2016. [21:36] The Volt Typhoon threat actor group and its access to the U.S. critical infrastructure is one of the greatest national security concerns because of its potential to disrupt everything from water to power, to food, to transportation. [22:10] The ripple effect that can come from those disruptions would be enormous. The Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack of a few years ago affected fuel supplies, commerce, and the prices of goods. [22:31] Nation-state hacking is no longer just a concern for government agencies and companies that do business internationally, but it's now a concern for all of society. There's the potential to affect the daily lives of innocent civilians through attacks on critical infrastructure. [23:16] Tod mentions another 2014 indictment out of Pittsburgh, on the GameOver Zeus Botnet takedown. Part of that was a crypto locker ransomware disruption. This was in the infancy of ransomware, for $300 ransoms. Now ransom demands are in the tens of millions of dollars. [23:53] We have seen a huge evolution in ransomware. It's not going away. One thing we're seeing is bypassing data encryption and focusing on data theft. It's easier and less time-consuming for the threat actors because they don't have to map out the network. [24:41] If a victim company had good backups and easy restoration, that was an issue ransomware actors had to deal with, so why would the threat actors bother with that? They just focus on easy data theft and extortion of ransom for the data. [25:04] Tod thinks we will continue to see extortion. Ransomware continues to be the greatest concern for companies. The use of AI has been increasing both for defenders and attackers.  [25:14] A new ransomware group, FunkSec, is claiming large numbers of victims of extortion, encryption, and data theft. They seem to have ransom demands of less than $10,000. They have sold stolen data. Researchers think this is a less experienced group using AI to write code. [27:22] Shadowserver's very talented team collects the data. It's free. They want to get it into the hands of those who can use it. The reports identify things that are seen to be misconfigured or unnecessarily exposed to the internet. Sometimes they can show if something is compromised. [28:12] Shadowserver designates the events by severity level so the end user can prioritize their patching and address first the ones that are most critical and severe. The reports act both as an early warning system and a victim notification system if a device is seen to be compromised. [28:59] The network owner needs to remediate that and patch it before further exploitation like a ransomware attack can occur. [29:07] Shadowserver has two ways to detect that a device is compromised. The first is if they have indicators that tell them a device on the network is compromised. The second is with their support for law enforcement, law enforcement may share sensitive data with Shadowserve. [29:32] When law enforcement does a takedown and they get victim identification data like IP addresses, they must do victim notification. Law enforcement isn't scaled to do victim notification for hundreds of thousands of users. Shadowserver helps them with notifications. [30:48] Shadowserver is very careful to share data responsibly. Company A will get the data they have for Company A and it won't be shared with Company B and vice versa. Shadowserver views the data as belonging to that network owner. [31:08] If a company authorizes Shadowserver and wants them to share their data with a third party, Shadowserver will happily do it. There are several companies with MSSPs to manage their security. If the company asks, Shadowserver will send the data to their MSSP. [31:43] As a small, non-profit organization, not everyone has heard of the Shadowserver Foundation. They want people to know they have this data and they want to share it. It could be relevant for cyber insurance companies' due diligence, with the insurance applicant's consent. [32:20] It's important because those reports can show whether a network has remained healthy and secure over time. Tod would love to see Shadowserver be able to help more in the risk mitigation areas. [32:56] Special thanks again to Shadowserver Foundation's Tod Eberle for joining us here on RIMScast!

This episode originally aired on July 26, 2024 John and Elliot discuss several developments impacting the financial crime community this week. These include a report on foreign investment in the US, the interagency statement on the AML/CFT program proposal, and the regulatory agenda for the Treasury Department. They also talk about the report from the House Financial Services Committee working group on AI, new sanctions on fentanyl producers, and a Europol report on migrant smuggling.

por Yaiza Santos Le leyó Santos: el 41% de los jóvenes votantes estadounidenses considera aceptable el asesinato del CEO de UnitedHealthcare. Ya escribió sobre el tema, aun sin haber salido esas encuestas. Esa acceptabilidad –compartida por otros muchos no tan jóvenes, como esa Belarra– proyecta sobre el asesino una imagen de persona consciente, racional, sensata, que en nada se parece a lo que parece ser en realidad, un perturbado más. El prestigio social, en este caso, recae en un enfermo. En el mundo de los jóvenes, observó, el psicópata se convierte en héroe. Hablando de enfermos, trató el terrible y extraño caso de los Pélicot, puro hombre muerde al perro, y opinó: puesto que el bien jurídico máximo es la vida, la pena máxima aquí no debería proceder. Tuvo que detenerse, a su pesar, en la letanía de hitos que muestran la mediocridad de la conversación española. Los premios de las cronistas parlamentarias ¡a Rufián!, las andanzas del aristócrata De Aldama, ese Bigotes vitaminado, Feijóo brindando por un acercamiento a Junts, sin recordar quién es el máximo líder de Junts, dónde está y qué relación tiene con España y con la justicia, ¡y ese delirio de una ley contra los bulos y las bulerías en redes sociales! Mire, explicó, cuando se publica algo ya tiene consecuencias, el derecho a la rectificación no ha funcionado nunca, y es solamente una tirita sobre una herida cicatrizada. Cada vez más convencido de que lo que tiene que hacer un periodista es mostrarse útil, comentó la información magra que trae Florencio Domínguez: de los 120 los atentados registrados por Europol en 2023, la mayoría fueron de nacionalistas y solamente dos, frustrados, de derechas. ¡He ahí el peligro que anuncian los apocalípticos! Celebra, por otro lado, que los apocalípticos no hayan dicho ni una palabra sobre la violación de la privacidad, ahora que han detenido a un presunto asesino gracias a Google Street View. Tus datos, chico, no sirven para nada en tus propias manos, y en las de Google, no más que tu culo para Levi’s. Concluyó, gracias a un nuevo burning paper, que el discurso igualitario encierra pura mentira –¡lo que queremos es el privilegio!– y deseó, con alegría, feliz navidad. Y fue así que Espada yiró.

Bojan Pajtić, profesor na Pravnom fakultetu u Novom Sadu, ugostio je u devetnaestoj epizodi Radar Foruma Gorana Ješića, nekadašnjeg potpredsednika pokrajinske Vlade, koji je nedavno pušten iz pritvora zbog učešća na demonstracijama 5. novembra u Novom Sadu organizovanih zbog pogibije 15 ljudi u padu nadstrešnice na Železničkoj stanici. Pajtić je nastojao na početku razgovora da od Ješića dobije konkretnije odgovore kako će izgledati njegov najavljeni povratak u politiku. "Kakav će biti format to sad zavisi od dosta ljudi sa kojima treba da se razgovara, između ostalih ja mislim da si ti jedan od prvih sa kojim treba da se razgovara, i ekipu negde znamo i mislim da bi to trebalo da bude ideološka organizacija za razliku od svih ostalih, negde leva, socijal-demokratska, ali to sad treba da ostavimo na stranu. Glavna tema su ova deca koja su i dalje u pritvoru. A uz to imamo Vesića koji se dobrovoljno predaje dramatičnom izjavom policiji i pravosuđu, a posle četiri sata ide u štrajk glađu", rekao je Ješić. Sagovornici su se dotakli i slučaja Ilije Kostića kojeg su policajci brutalno pretukli zbog čega je morao da bude i operisan. "BIA se znači bavi organizatorom studentskih protesta koji šetaju i farbaju asfalt, policija se bavi time da tuče čoveka od 74 godine sa demonstracija, Tužilaštvo u Novom Sadu se bavi time da vrati Ješića, Bačulova i Relju nazad u pritvor, a onda im pod nosom dođe Europol policija i uhapsi najvažnijeg direktora preduzeća sa osam kilograma kokaina. To je poraz ove države", dodao je Ješić. Domaćin Radar Foruma nadovezao se da su informacije počele da cure iz same policije navodeći da ljudi u raznim službama ne žele da učestvuju u prikrivanju bilo čije krivice. "Ja kada sam javio na Tviteru lokacije pred najveći protest u Novom Sadu nekoliko sati ranije, to su sve policijski izvori. Dakle, ono što je problem je to što je i policajcima, velikom broju njih, muka, bljuje im se od ideje da ti ne vidiš gde se završava mafija, a gde počinje država", kaže Pajtić. U nastavku razgovora Goran Ješić opisivao je i kako su izgledali pritvorski dani, a sagovornici su razložili i na koji način funkcioniše korupcija u velikim infrastrukturnim projektima, kako su u sve umešana braća Vučić, kao i da se mora aktivirati finansijska inspekcija kako bi se kroz tokove novca razotkrila pljačka naroda.

For more than three decades Washington has engaged in a series of open-ended conflicts with unattainable political-military objectives; armed struggles disguised as crusades for democracy that were designed to achieve American military hegemony. Thirty years later, the outcome is a world full of nations brimming with hatred for the American People, a ruined economy and a military establishment that American men refuse to join. Former President Donald Trump recognizes the tragedy of the warfare state said so quite clearly: “The United States should not reject cooperating with Russia and China, Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump said. "Doing business with China is a good thing, but you need a fair deal. Doing business with Russia - they have so much raw minerals... We can do great business and keep everybody happy," Trump said during a rally in Flint, Michigan. He reiterated that he had good relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping. On September 16, Trump said in an interview that he does not consider Russia and China enemies of the United States. He promised to get along with these countries if he gets elected as a president.” If President Trump pursues this path he will save America and win the Nobel Peace Prize! https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1836752544640475193   https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1836552447768301648   https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1836552451685519474   https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1836552456479584563 https://twitter.com/BehizyTweets/status/1836565850687406158 TAKE A LISTEN https://twitter.com/KanekoaTheGreat/status/1836561599794168152   building in the USA.
