This past year has been one of the busiest ones on record for IT security professionals, with a seemingly endless stream of high-profile exploits and software vulnerabilities. At the end of 2013, Target revealed what turned out to be the first of many retail breaches over the next 12 months.
A strong counter-narrative to the official account of the hacking of Sony Pictures Entertainment has emerged in recent days, with the visage of the petulant North Korean dictator, Kim Jong Un, replaced by another, more familiar face: former Sony Pictures employees angry over their firing during a recent reorganization at the company.
In the 1991 movie Backdraft, Robert De Niro plays the part of Donald ‘Shadow’ Rimgale, a fire department detective investigating a series of arsons in Chicago. As a former firefighter himself, De Niro’s character works closely with firefighters to piece together events based on the available evidence, both physical and circumstantial, and relies on his years of experience as both a firefighter and arson investigator.
The Sony Corporation’s PlayStation Network had connection problems for a fourth day since hackers attacked the video game network, and the company said on Sunday that service was gradually being restored.

South Korea's nuclear power operator said on Sunday that cyber attacks on non-critical operations at the company's headquarters are still continuing, a week after executives revealed that the organisation's systems had been hit.
The Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co said on Monday last week that its internal systems had been hacked but only non-critical data had been stolen, and operations were not at risk.
It's tempting to imagine that few online safeguards will stop NSA surveillance in its tracks, but that's not true. A new leak from Edward Snowden's files reveals that there's a surprising number of ways to thwart these snoops, at least as of 2012. While you may already know that the NSA sees Tor's anonymity network as a problem, it hates the heavy encryption on chat protocols like CSpace or Off-the-Record, internet calling systems like ZRTP or highly secure email systems like Zoho.
Right now in Hamburg, Germany, the largest European hacker association, the Chaos Computer Club (CCC), is holding its 31st annual congress that's a four-day fest of all things hacking. Other than having a pretty rad name, CCC is well-known for detailing all the crazy (and sometimes scary) shit they can do. They've just added another one to the list.
This week, the payment gateway solution provider Charge Anywhere revealed that it had been victimized by a data breach that may have compromised data going as far back as 2009.
Charge Anywhere provides payment gateway services, cloud point-of-sale (PoS) solutions, mobile PoS, and other technologies aimed at banks, enterprises, and payment processors. The attack stands as another example of hackers targeting payment card data by going after PoS vendors, as opposed to just merchants.
Some 19% of 340 technology executives surveyed by security vendor Radware Inc. earlier this year described attacks against their companies as “constant,” with about 15% saying the attacks lasted more than one month.
This marks the first time in the four years that Radware has done the survey where so many respondents reported experiencing month-long attacks. “This trend challenges the traditional concept of incident response, which assumes a normal state without attacks,” Radware said in its “Global Application & Network Security Report.”
