The US Federal Bureau of Investigation defines "cyberterrorism" as a deliberate attack on a computer system, computer data, programs, or other material with the express purpose of inflicting violence on clandestine operatives and subnational groups.Cyberterrorism is defined as the use of computer technology to commit acts of terrorism. We must first distinguish between "crime" and "terrorism" because they are similar in certain ways, and both attack societies' capacity to maintain internal order.Terrorism is "political, " whereas crime is "personal".Individuals commit crimes for various reasons, the most significant of which are personal gains and the desire to mentally and/or physically injure ...

Cyber-attackers utilize a Domain Generation Algorithm (DGA) to generate new domain names and IP addresses for malware's command and control servers. It is practically hard for security professionals to detect and limit the attack since it is carried out in a seemingly random manner."Conficker A and B", a family of worms that created 250 domain names every day in the beginning, promoted the tactic. Starting with "Conficker C", the virus would produce 50, 000 domain names each day and contact 500 of them, providing an infected workstation a 1% chance of getting updated every day if the malware controllers only ...

A BIOS (Basic Input Output System) is a program that allows a computer's microprocessor to start the computer when you switch it on. It also controls data flow between the operating system of the computer and associated devices such as the hard disc, video adapter, keyboard, mouse, and printer.Similarly, files need to be loaded before the operating system loads. BIOS also has a piece of software or code called Bootstrap. Bootstrap is a set of instructions that instruct your computer to load the operating system. These instructions are hard-coded with the BIOS once you have installed the operating system.What is ... Read More

Stuxnet is a computer worm that was created to attack Iran's nuclear facilities but has since mutated and spread to other industrial and energy-generating facilities.The original Stuxnet malware attack was aimed at PLCs, which are used to automate machine processes. It was the first known virus capable of crippling hardware when it was discovered in 2010. It was identified to have been manufactured by the US National Security Agency, the CIA, and Israeli intelligence, generating a frenzy of media attention.Stuxnet works by targeting machines and networks that use the Microsoft Windows operating system, then looking for Siemens Step7 software using ...

Parameter Tampering is a straightforward assault against an application's business logic. This attack takes advantage of how a lot of programmers use hidden or fixed fields as the only security protection for specific actions (such as a hidden tag in a form or a parameter in a URL). Attackers can readily change these settings to get around security systems that rely on them.Web Parameter TamperingWeb parameter tampering flaws are perhaps the most commonly understood danger. Tampering with parameters should be possible on a regular basis with −Query strings in URLsHeaders in HTTPFields in a formCookiesThe Web Parameter Tampering attack is ... Read More

The Importance of Real-Time Threat InformationWhen it comes to cybersecurity, timing is everything, which is why combating cybercrime proactively rather than reactively is crucial.Fresh, focused, and actionable information is gathered from internal and external sources, as well as automated and human-generated sources, including real-time threat intelligence. Consider forums on the dark web, social media, analyst reports, and hacktivism sites.This real-time threat information gathered from different sources may be used to assist IT professionals such as CISOs, fraud managers, and SOC managers, among others, in responding to attacks faster, repelling them more effectively and strengthening their systems against future threats. In ... Read More

In general, privacy refers to the right to be left alone and the freedom from interruption or intrusion. The right to control how your personal information is gathered and utilized is known as information privacy.The concept of responsible use and protection of information falls under the domain of privacy, which is partially overlapped with security. Body integrity can also be a sort of privacy. Many countries' privacy laws, and in some cases, constitutions, include the right not to be exposed to unjustified intrusions by the government, corporations, or individuals.With the growth of the Internet, the incidence of social bots has ...

Reverse engineering aka back engineering is a technique for extracting design knowledge from software, equipment, airplanes, architectural structures, and other items. It is the practice of evaluating a piece of software or hardware's functionalities and information flow in order to comprehend its functioning and behavior. In cyber protection, malware is frequently reverse-engineered.Reverse engineering is a technique used in older industries to improve computer hardware and software. The machine code of a program - the string of 0s and 1s transmitted to the logic processor - is the subject of software reverse engineering. To convert the machine code back to the ... Read More

SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response) is a set of related software applications that allows a company to collect data on security risks and respond to security events without human intervention. An organization's incident analysis and response processes can be defined using SOAR technologies in a digital workflow format.The automatic management of security operations-related duties is known as security automation. It is the process of carrying out these duties without the need for human interaction, such as scanning for vulnerabilities or looking for logs. A way of linking security tools and combining diverse security systems is known as security orchestration. ... Read More

As data travels to the cloud, meetings migrate online, or acquire online components, some of which are likely to continue in the future, cybersecurity becomes increasingly critical.Privacy is a major factor in cybersecurity. Consumer decisions are influenced by privacy problems; a good reputation can attract consumers, while a data breach is likely to drive them away. This is especially concerning for businesses that manage huge volumes of personally identifiable information such as healthcare and financial institutions. Customers are put in grave danger when such information is leaked into the world, and it is worth a lot of money to criminals.New ... Read More
