Web Warriors ~ CBC Documentary

admin — Tue, 22 May 2012 19:48:08 +0000

Enter the world of hackers and cyber sleuths.

The internet is touted as one of the most important inventions in the history of modern man, and like the discovery of the atom, its ability to benefit mankind is matched only by its potential to unleash massive destruction.

Web Warriors is a one-hour documentary that offers an unprecedented glimpse into the world’s newest and most vulnerable frontier: cyberspace. We enter the world of hackers like Mafia Boy – a 15 year old high school student who rose to infamy in 2000 by causing millions of dollars in damage after single-handedly shutting down internet giants – including Yahoo, Amazon, eBay, Dell, eTrade, and CNN.

We’ll meet hackers like Donnie who goes on a journey into the Russian cyber underground as he searches for the creators of a computer virus with the hopes of collecting the $250,000 bounty being offered by Microsoft.

Just as in nature, computer viruses have rapidly evolved and now have the ability to control millions of computers unbeknownst to their owners, thereby creating massive illegal computer networks known as “Botnets”.

These “Botnets” are being put to a variety of illicit uses including identity theft and cyber extortion, but they are also the latest and most potent weapon being deployed in military conflicts. Web Warriors dissects the massive cyber attack against Estonia in 2007 which virtually shut down the country and resulted in NATO deploying its cyber response team.

Web Warriors offers rare interviews with cyber sleuths from the FBI, the Pentagon, NATO, and the Department of Homeland Security who explain how cyberspace has become the latest battle ground between nation states and how terrorist groups are already plotting their next move.

Web Warriors offers a fast-paced never-seen before glimpse into the cyber trenches of a world wide battle. Some reports say the cost of cyber crime is now on par with the illegal drug trade.

Web Warriors was produced by Edward Peill for Tell Tale Productions Inc.

Strikeforce Technologies, Inc (SFOR.PK)

StrikeForce Technologies provides products that combat online identity theft by protecting customers, employees and partners in real time at every vulnerable point. (www.strikeforcetech.com) Its products prevent fraud during account creation, account access, transactions, and changes, saving businesses millions of dollars, offering new levels of customer protection, and strengthening their brand names.

How do companies protect customers’ and employees’ personal identity information while keeping sites easy to use as the problems of data breaches and identity theft get into the billions of dollars? This is a make-it-or-break-it issue for banks, e-commerce merchants, government agencies, credit card companies, and enterprises as the regulatory and compliance environment becomes increasingly more rigorous. The answer may determine the success of a business—especially as emerging attacks and public disclosures about
identity theft accelerate globally.

StrikeForce Technologies’ product suite:

• Protects personal information and shuts out fraudsters.

• Authenticates a user’s identity.

• Exploits common devices and high-security tools—phones, PDAs, PCs, and tokens—to create highly secure 2-factor and “Out-of-Band” user authentication.

StrikeForce Technologies is a unique company that:

• Protects everyone—customers, partners, consumers, and employees—in real time against identity fraud at every access point with their products.

• Preserves the online experience and provides unobtrusive access to users while ensuring that they truly are who they say they are.

• Offers customized two-factor “Out-of-Band” solutions that are customized and scalable, based on the level of security required and preferred technology methods.

ProtectID® offers 2-factor “Out-of-Band” authentication across many methods and devices for protection. Methods are preferable and low cost for delivering One Time Passwords (OTP). This approach leverages a 2nd network for entering or receiving passwords (or pins), which locks out hackers—even if they have your username and password. Product available for installation or Cloud Service. (Pat No: 7870599)

GuardedID® is a keystroke encryption anti-keylogger that functions at the keyboard level, preventing keyloggers (malware) from stealing login and confidential information—the #1 Consumer Threat noted by the FBI and the 2010 Verizon Data Breach Report.

StrikeForce Technologies generates a high-quality revenue stream derived from initial sale revenue and bolstered by recurring revenue stream from each license sold. Current contracts include:

• Known Global Wall Street Investment Firm. Contracted to use ProtectID through our Cloud Service for all of their Global Wealth clients soon to 10x the volume. Projected revenues of $.4mm in 2011 and yearly recurring revenue thereafter.

• Trend Micro. Contracted to OEM our GuardedID product combined with their anti-virus products globally. Projected revenues of $100k in 2011 and increasing with recurring revenue. They are also highlighting GuardedID for direct sales
through us in their electronic and physical newsletters.

• Other major clients include Intersections, one of the largest ISPs and telecommunications providers in the United States, one of the nation’s top chip manufacturers, and other financial, government agencies and enterprises contracted or in pilot, that for contractual reasons have yet to be publicly announced. Company is also in contracts with various well established resellers and distributors with whom the majority of our contracts are closing.

Projected revenues in 2011 and 2012 are approximately $3mm and $11mm respectively.

StrikeForce Technologies was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Edison, New Jersey.

The Out-of-Band Two-Factor Authentication Patent (No. 7870599) has been granted as of January 11, 2011. GuardedID has a patent pending.

PSN back online “shortly” Plus free gifts for PS3 & PSN users – Sony press conference update

admin — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 10:29:03 +0000

PSN functionality to be fully restored

Sony have recently stated that their online function is to be fully restored, region-by-region, but as of yet have not given a date for this to start happening.

The first services to be restored will include online play, the PlayStation Home social network, and access to account management (where users can reset their passwords), friends lists, and live chat functionality.

Users with un-expired movie rentals will be able to resume watching content. Restoration of these services will begin “shortly.”

As for goodwill gestures meant to appease the tens of millions of angry gamers who had their information stolen, Sony is in the process of crafting a package that will provide users with “free entertainment content”

The exact nature of this content has yet to be revealed.

Current PSN users will have access to a free 30-day trial of PSN Plus, a subscription service that provides early or exclusive access to betas, game demos, and premium downloadable content.
Existing subscribers will be given a free month of PSN service–a value of about $5–as will subscribers to use Sony’s Unlimited music service.

For those interested, Sony will provide assistance to enrol in identity theft protection programs.
For starters, the company is creating a new executive position with the title Chief Information Security Officer, although nobody has been appointed to this position as of yet.

Other security measures include the addition of enhanced encryption to protect user data and instalment of a variety of unnamed automated tools designed to detect and defend against software intrusions. Sony are also creating a plan that was already in place to move to a new and more secure data centre.
When they do get back online, end users can expect to encounter a forced system update that will entail a mandatory password reset. Sony says that these new passwords can only be changed on the system on which they were created or with email verification.
