In February 2012, the incidence of malware infections on the 25,000 most popular websites was studied. Some of the findings are interesting.
Highlights of the infographic:
1. Over 10 million people would have been served with malicious software in the month that the survey was done, i.e February 2012.
2. United States hosted around half of all infected websites. The Netherlands came in second at 19%.
3. 54% of the infected websites are more than 5 years old; 43% of the websites were between 1 and 5 years
4. Free-tv-video-online.me, bigresource.com and myplaycity.com are the top 3 infected sites as per Alexa Site Ranking

While it is widely understood that mobile devices are more than just phones – they are a lifeline to the outside world, entertainment platform, GPS system, little black book and a shopping and banking tool – it’s lesser known that these devices are also gateways. Mobile devices can be used by a hacker as an access point into many other aspects of your digital life as well the lives of others in your network, making mobile security about more than just protecting your phone.

Du PIN d’accès trop court à l’absence de gestion de ces codes d’accès, sans oublier la réutilisation des clefs de chiffrement, le mauvais stockage des « link keys », les demandes d’authentification répétitives, les clefs « partagées » etc… Le club des fans de Thierry Zoller et de son BTCrack retrouvera là tout ce qui se dit et se répète depuis des années.

On 4 November, Neelie Kroes Commissioner responsible for the Digital Agenda stressed the threat of cyber-security hacking for the efficiency of Internet Services. “Incidents (also linked to human mistakes) and attacks are clearly on the rise…the number of web based attacks went up 36% in the year 2011.”
During his speech in the Information Security Forum Conference in Chicago, Kroes urged for bringing cyber security in the top of the political agenda. Acknowledging that most of the cyber networks and infrastructures are privately owned, the Commissioner recognised the limited role of the public authorities.

The Norton Cybercrime Report is out for 2012! Cybercrime continues to have far-reaching effects and is increasingly a problem on mobile devices and in our social networks (where we seem to be less vigilant).
After surveying more than 13,000 consumers in 24 countries, the researchers found that the numbers of online adults increased by 20% from last year, and that cybercrime impacted just under ½ of them in the previous 12 months.

At DHS, we’re working to develop the next generation of leaders in cybersecurity while fostering an environment for talented staff to grow in this field.
We are building strong cybersecurity career paths within the Department, and in partnership with other government agencies. We are also creating training and development opportunities to retain our most talented employees and ensure their professional development. In collaboration with the National Security Agency, we are strengthening the nation’s educational infrastructure by supporting Centers of Academic Excellence across the country.
In addition, we are extending the scope of cyber education beyond the federal workplace through the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education, involving students from kindergarten through post-graduate school.
And we sponsor the U.S. Cyber Challenge, a program that works with academia and the private sector to identify and develop the best and brightest cyber talent to meet our nation’s growing and changing security needs.
