DarkCyber for April 30, 2019, Now Available
April 30, 2019
DarkCyber for April 30, 2019, is now available at www.arnoldit.com/wordpress and on Vimeo at https://www.vimeo.com/332933089 .
The program is a production of Stephen E Arnold. It is the only weekly video news shows focusing on the Dark Web, cybercrime, and lesser known Internet services.
This week’s story line up includes: The British government’s online harms report; work methods of hackers; Qintar, a Sharia compliant crypto currency; a new Dark Web index; and a close look at Haystax Constellation cyber software.
This week’s feature examines Haystax Technologies’ Constellation system. The platform can perform a range of cyber functions, including analyzing and protecting facilities and events like the US Super Bowl. The system can also identify and monitor employees which are likely to present a high probability of risk to their employers. The insider threat capability reduces risk and helps reduce the loss of sensitive data. Constellation uses a range of patented systems and methods. The company relies, in part, on the mathematics of Sir Thomas Bayes. Like Autonomy plc, Haystax processes existing data and then integrates real time information in order to generate its predictive outputs.
Other stories in the April 30, 2019, DarkCyber video include brief “cybershots” about:
- The British government released a report about the activities of social media firms. The document is a harsh critique of the management and business tactics of a number of high profile firms. The facts uncovered by the government analysts, the examples presented, and the recommendations set forth in the document are likely to have considerable weight. Britain is contemplating new regulations to control the behaviors of US social media firms.
- DarkCyber provides basic information about how hackers (white hat and black hat varieties) perform their work. Not surprisingly, trial and error play a sign cant part. However, there are specific methods, and these have been disclosed by the WikiLeaks-type site edited by a persona which appears to be a former CIA agent. A way to download the report and access the site are included in the video.
- A new Dark Web indexing service called Darkmention. The viewer learns where a detailed technical description of the system can be obtained. Although there are numerous Dark Web indexing systems, the Darkmention approach is to process more than 350 different content platforms, not just Tor accessible sites.
- DarkCyber explains that a new Sharia compliant crypto currency is now available. Qintar is based on the Islamic blockchain technology. The crypto tokens may be purchased from the Qintar bank based in Geneva, Switzerland.
