DarkCyber for July 31, 2018, Is Now Available
July 31, 2018
This week’s DarkCyber video news program is available at www.arnoldit.com/wordpress and on Vimeo at https://vimeo.com/282131610 .
Produced by Stephen E Arnold and the DarkCyber research team, the weekly program covers the Dark Web and lesser known Internet services.
The July 31, 2018, program includes four stories. These are:
Chinese citizens are using the Dark Web via Tor and i2p to circumvent the Great Firewall of China. The Web surfers use hidden Internet sites and services to obtain information and engage in ecommerce. DarkCyber learned that there is an elite group of “red” hackers working for the Chinese government. These “red hat” professionals engage in cyber activities which may be viewed as “black hat” activities by those outside of China.
The second story updates viewers about the legal challenges several SEA members face in US courts. DarkCyber provides brief descriptions of two reports about the SEA’s hacking activities in the US and elsewhere. These reports contain high value information about systems and methods used by these individuals. Links to these reports are included in the video plus a pointer to an SEA recruiting video available on YouTube. Stephen E Arnold, author of Dark Web Notebook, said: “Technical information compiled by analysts provides a road map for cyber security professionals. On the other hand, the availability of information warfare techniques makes it easier for bad actors to improve their digital attack methods. A cat and mouse game with significant stakes is escalating.”
The third story explains that Russia’s new surveillance and data retention regulations are now in effect. Mobile vendors, ISPs, and similar companies have to retain index data and content for six months. The influence of the Russian Internet crackdown has diffused to Kazakhstan. That Russian neighbor throttles the Internet and blocks access when opposition political voices stream via the Internet.
The final story directs viewers to the free Dark Web scanning service provided by Capitol One. The new service looks for individuals social security numbers, emails, and other personal information. Automatic alerts are sent to registered users when sensitive information is discovered.
