Researcher cracks TLS and SSL when they’re combined with another encryption scheme known as RC4
Operations Red October
Research indicated Operation Red October cyber attackers were very discriminating and selective when they chose their targets. These targets were selected for the attack that dates back at least to 2007. Not only were that attackers highly selective about whom

they targeted, but they went after high value file formats. Particularly troubling was the fact that they exfiltrated encrypted files which would lead one to believe they had a way to crack the encryption and get access to the sensitive contents. That is very troubling!
This is just the latest discovery and yet another justification for the Cyber Diplomat training program available on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ASNPMHA

Intelligence in the 5th Domain
Today, Cyber Intelligence is getting so much more attention that it did just six short months ago and for good reason. A number of U.S. Government leaders have warned about the likelihood and potential impact of a successful cyber attack on the nation’s critical infrastructure. Cyber intelligence is the best defense against such an attack. This is a relatively new area for intelligence collection that will mature over time. We are even seeing job postings for these skilled workers. The biggest issue is there are few course (other than the ones by Technolytics) that prepare individuals for this evolving position.
Presidential Policy Directive on Cyber Warfare Rules of Engagement
A classified Presidential Policy Directive (PPD-20) was signed by President Obama to defend the nation against the rapidly growing threat posed by cyber attacks on our critical infrastructure. Details are sketchy but sources say this is what the NSA, DoD and DHS has needed for some time!
U.S. to go on cyber offensive?
Stewart Baker, who was the assistant secretary for policy at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under the George W. Bush administration, recently stated that “To prevail in the cyber security war, defense is not enough.” The only conclusion that you can draw from this statement is to go on the cyber offensive!
Massive Case of Cyber Espionage
Get the information you need.
In mid-July 2012 a massive case of cyber espionage was disclosed by an inside source at the Pentagon. Michael Maloof, a former senior security policy analyst within OSD disclosed a massive industrial cyber espionage operation that was attributed to China. The analyst disclosed that telecommunications equipment made by Huawei and ZTE Corporation had backdoors installed at the order of the Chinese government. These two companies are estimated at servicing 45 of the world’s 50 largest telecommunication operators.
Given those figures, it has been estimated that China would have access to approximately 80% of global communication traffic.
