Alto’s methodology employs a data-first approach with the objective of supporting experts and practitioners establish an evidence-based understanding of the complex, multivariate nature of extremism and radicalization online and its multi-layered relationship with: the vulnerabilities linked to certain narratives and ideologies that constitute a part of public discourse and can be weaponized with specific aims. this report does highlight specific domains, channels and other digital spaces to aid practitioners in understanding the mechanics of the digital spaces analyzed.

In this report, he have to caveat by saying that these figures are lower bound estimates based on inflows to the illicit addresses we’ve identified today. One year from now, these totals will almost certainly be higher, as we identify more illicit addresses and incorporate their historic activity into our estimates. 2023 was a year of recovery for cryptocurrency, as the industry rebounded from the scandals, blowups, and price declines of 2022.

2023 was a year of recovery for cryptocurrency, as the industry rebounded from the scandals, blowups, and price declines of 2022. With crypto assets rebounding and market activity growing over the course of 2023, many believe that crypto winter is ending, and a new growth phase may soon be upon us. As always, we have to caveat by saying that these figures are lower bound estimates based on inflows to the illicit addresses we’ve identified today.

This report from Pew Research Center goes over how and where the average person’s personal information is used online. It goes over the lack of control most people feel, who collects your data, the lack of understanding people have over who uses their data, and how people think about the privacy and vulnerability of their personal data.

Aon is supporting its global clients to respond to political risks and security challenges by using the analysis derived from the maps to inform the creation of a more robust risk management programme. We hope this year’s maps provide you with the insights that you need to better protect your business, and should you need to discuss any aspects of your insurance coverage – or how these risks affect your exposure – please contact the team.

This report provided by Oxford University provides research data into the Russian involvement in the United States election process.

This report begins with an interesting paragraph, “Bad actors need to launder the $US 1.7 billion of cryptocurrency stolen and scammed in 2018. Furthermore, they need to get it all done before tough new global anti-money laundering (AML) and counter terror financing (CTF) regulations go into effect over the next year.” Read on to learn how this paragraph is important.

This report is part of a larger developing series, the aim of which is to apply a different approach to threat intelligence to identify a new threat actor and its previously unknown espionage campaigns; it also aims to link together campaigns that were assumed to be unrelated, or which were falsely attributed to other groups. We call this new project — and threat actor — The White Company in acknowledgement of the many elaborate measures the organization takes to whitewash all signs of its activity and evade attribution. The White Company consists of three reports. The first report tells the story of the overall campaign and presents forensic findings in a manner suitable for a general audience, including analyses of the technical and geopolitical considerations that enable readers to draw conclusions about the threat actors and understand the campaign in context. Two additional technical reports follow: One is focused on The White Company’s exploits, the other on its malware and infrastructure.

This report offers insight into the cyber security profile of the United States Of America.

The recent escalation in tensions between the United States and Turkey over the detention of pastor Andrew Brunson, have prompted Turkish patriotic hacktivist groups to target American websites. Historically, the two most prominent hacktivist groups Aslan Neferler Tim (ANT) and Turk Hack Team (THT) have reacted to political issues impacting Turkey, by targeting the perceived adversary with low level nuisance attacks such as web defacements and Distributed Denial of Service attacks (DDoS). As the political situation deteriorates, Anomali expects to see an increase in hacktivist related activity targeting American websites.

Russia will host the 2018 FIFA World Cup from 14 June to 15 July 2018 at 12 different venues throughout 11 host cities, and thousands of foreign visitors are expected to travel to the games. With major sporting events increasingly targeted by physical and cyber threats, we believe that FIFA and their affiliates, spectators, athletes, officials, or other attendees are likely to be confronted by a range of security risks such as protests/demonstrations, hooliganism, financial fraud, and to a lesser extent hacktivism, terrorism, and cyber espionage.

During our monitoring of activities around the APT28 threat group, McAfee Advanced Threat Research analysts identified a malicious Word document that appears to leverage the Microsoft Office Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) technique that has been previously reported by Advanced Threat Research. This document likely marks the first observed use of this technique by APT28. The use of DDE with PowerShell allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a victim’s system regardless whether macros are enabled. (McAfee product detection is covered in the Indicators of Compromise section at the end of the document.)

In this report, they focus on issues related to retaining cyber soldiers. They use data from the Army’s personnel files to determine how many new soldiers are likely to meet the qualifications for this new MOS, as well as their expected retention rates. Specifically, they apply 17C enlist- ment requirements to all soldiers to determine how many meet the standards. They also use data on civilian occupa- tions to determine the earnings these soldiers are likely to be offered based on their military cyber training. To do this, they use the American Community Survey (ACS) data on all workers in information technology (IT)–related occupations.

While the use of the dark web as facilitators for illicit drug trade has increasingly been the subject of research by a number of academics, little has been done to conduct a systematic investigation of the role of the dark web in relation to the illegal arms trade, drawing on the insights offered by primary data. To address this gap, and with a view to support- ing policy and decision makers, RAND Europe and the University of Manchester designed this research project.

This project sought to draw lessons from the efforts of others (both nation-state and nonstate actors) in and through the IE for future U.S. Army force planning and investment. These case studies of other forces can help the Army (1) identify capabilities and practices that it should consider adopting and (2) identify adversary capabilities and practices that it must be prepared to counter in future operations in and through the IE.

This report offers the case studies used for the official report of the same name.

This is a press release regarding a s study that finds more British Internet users are concerned about data privacy than losing their income.

In 2015, after two years of study and policy coordination, the United States and Japan publicly issued new defense guidelines, updating and expanding upon the previous guidance of 1997. The new guidelines enable a much broader set of cooperative engagements, including in geographic areas beyond the areas surrounding Japan and in the new domains of outer space and cyberspace.

This report provides insight into several of the business risk factors facing organizations in 2018. It specifically reviews events from all around the globe.

From the preface to the report, “As in previous years, the Report is based on the annual Global Risks Perception Survey, completed by almost 750 members of the World Economic Forum’s global multistakeholder community. In addition to the special section exploring the evolving security landscape in an era of uncertainty, the Report presents deep-dive discussions of risks to the stability of societies posed by the (dis)empowered citizen, who is empowered by technology but feels disempowered by traditional decision-making processes. It also discusses the societal consequences of climate change with a focus on food and water crises and the threat of global pandemics.”
