August 28, 2018
DarkCyber for August 28, 2018, is now available at www.arnoldit.com/wordpress and on Vimeo at https://vimeo.com/286743860.
Stephen E Arnold’s DarkCyber is a weekly video news and analysis program about the Dark Web and lesser known Internet services.
This week’s program covers five Dark Web and security related stories.
The first story address Microsoft’s acquisition of Hyas, a Canadian cyber intelligence company. DarkCyber believes that Microsoft is making an effort to close the gap between its cloud capabilities and those of Amazon. Policeware appears to be a key strategic capability of Amazon, and Microsoft has found that more than in-house innovation may be necessary to close the gap. Stephen E Arnold, producer of DarkCyber and author of CyberOSINT (2017) said: Amazon’s policeware has helped the company make progress with its US government cloud services. Microsoft’s acquisition of Hyas adds an important cyber analytic capability to the Azure system.”
DarkCyber reports the newly-released details about two Dark Web operations. The Dutch police methods used to take down the Hansa contraband-focused ecommerce site complements new information about the arrest of eight individuals involved with the Rex Mundi hack-and-extort spin on ransomware. Both operations involved investigators from multiple countries, advanced analytics, and traditional investigative techniques. The success of these two operations makes clear that use of software to create hidden Internet sites and services is not as effective as some individuals believe.
DarkCyber reports that draft legislation in Australia may be a different way to force companies to provide decryption backdoors to messaging applications. The Australian government can request decryption assistance or decryption keys. If the company does not comply, the firm may be fined up to seven million dollars for each failure to cooperate. The proposed legislation is accepting public comments and further action will be taken on this proposal later this year.
The final DarkCyber report shares some findings from a yet-to-be-released report about the Asian Dark Web. The report is a work product of IntSights, a cyber intelligence firm. The key finding in the report is that each country takes a unique approach to the Dark Web. Cultural considerations require the use of the country’s language and the jargon used to prevent outsiders from making sense of the content.
