Der Sicherheitsfirma Rapid7 zufolge lassen sich Zugänge und Passwörter zu IP-Videokameras und digitalen Videorekordern mit Firmware von RaySharp leicht hacken. Die verwenden immerhin 18 Hersteller. Angreifer können über die Schwachstelle die volle Kontrolle übernehmen – und weitere Attacken fahren. Betroffen von den Bugs sind die Geräte von 18 Herstellern, die sich der chinesischen Plattform bedienen. Rapid7 hat daraufhin das Netz durchsucht – und will mindestens 58.000 Geräte gefunden haben, die sich aushebeln lassen. Denn der größte aller Fehler in RaySharps Software ist, das sich über den Port 9000 die Web-Oberfläche zur Gerätesteuerung ganz ohne Passwort öffnen lässt. Zudem sind die Geräte drauf ausgelegt, via UPnP eine Verbindung zum Router aufzubauen – das ist als Öffnung zur Außenwelt gedacht, damit Nutzer ihre Kameras über das Netz steuern können – lässt sich aber in den Werkseinstellungen auch von Unbefugten für ihre dunklen Zwecke nutzen.

In discussions around education reform, we have begun to recognize that a one-size-fits-all model doesn’t work for all of our students, yet there’s little conversation about differentiating PD for teachers, despite differences in experience, content areas taught, and learning preferences.

DHS secretary Janet Napolitano says that there is an urgent need for better cybersecurity legislation to avoid a cyber 9/11.
CSO - All those computerized conveniences in your new car -- dozens of them -- also make it a tempting, rolling menu of attack possibilities for hackers, who can exploit vulnerabilities to steal your car, eavesdrop on what you think are private conversations and even sabotage systems that could make it crash. And it is only recently that auto manufacturers are starting to pay closer attention to them,writes Jim Finkle for Reuters. "Intel's McAfee unit, best known for software that fights PC viruses, is one of a handful of firms that are looking to protect the dozens of tiny computers and electronic communications systems that are built into every modern car," he wrote.

Post highlighting embarrassing things raises questions of user privacy with Graph Search, which Facebook users cannot opt out of Facebook believes its responsibility is to provide the privacy settings, while users are responsible for using them. "You control who you share your interests and likes with on Facebook," the company said Thursday in an emailed statement. When joining Facebook, people trade their personal information for free use of the social network. Given that, security experts agree that people are responsible for controlling who sees that information. However, some experts believe Facebook does not go far enough in educating users about the potential threats in keeping information public. Because Graph Search makes all that personal information easily searchable, education on its dangers should be a much higher priority for Facebook. ===> "Some people do not grasp the importance of Graph Search," said Bogdon Botezatu, a senior e-threat analyst for Bitdefender. "So maybe it would be better for Facebook to actually inform people that some things will change." <===

As a leader, communication skills rank near the top of our list of important skills. Because of their importance, these skills are talked about and written about a lot. Much training takes place every day, designed to help leaders get better at these important skills. One of the reasons communication is difficult is that not everyone communicates in the same way, with the same tendencies or styles. This isn’t news; you already knew that. ...

It’s an important, and undervalued, journalistic skill Information overload drives content consumers to look for human-filtered, journalist-vetted, intellectually-related material. This hunger for coherence isn’t unreasonable; it’s essential. And for some of us who think and write every day, gathering bits of thread that can then be elegantly knit into a thoughtful narrative isn’t cheating, or lazy. Far from it. Curating is in many ways harder than writing (at least good curating). It’s far easier for me to write 500 words from my head than to find themes and sources and tie them into a broader narrative.

INFOGRAPHIE - Des virus bloquent à distance les ordinateurs puis leurs propriétaires sont sommés de payer une «amende». La supercherie, découverte aux États-Unis par le FBI avant de gangrener l'Europe, a provoqué un vent de panique à l'échelle planétaire. Selon nos informations, pas moins de 1284 plaintes ont déjà été enregistrées depuis novembre 2011 par la gendarmerie en France. «Ce n'est que la partie émergée de l'iceberg, car au moins dix fois plus d'internautes ont été infectés par le virus», précise le colonel Freyssinet. «Si une partie d'entre eux ont eu la bonne idée de ne pas verser la rançon, d'autres ayant fréquenté des sites illégaux préfèrent ne pas se vanter de leur mésaventure et tentent de régler le problème en bidouillant leur ordinateur avec les moyens du bord», renchérit-on à la Direction générale de la gendarmerie nationale.
