Swipe With Care: Your ATM Might Be Controlled By A Hacker http://jc.infradapt.com/index.php/blog/entry/swipe-with-care-your-atm-might-be-controlled-by-a-hacker http://jc.infradapt.com/index.php/blog/entry/swipe-with-care-your-atm-might-be-controlled-by-a-hacker

One of the most enticing credentials that hackers desire is your credit card number, along with its expiration date and the code on the back. Hackers are also willing to go great lengths to achieve their goal of stealing these credentials, even so far as to make physical changes to automatic teller machines (ATMs) to do so. In fact, hackers will often install skimming devices on ATMs that are so subtle that they can be difficult to detect.

TheDarkOverlord Solutions Is at It Again! This Time the Hacker Group Is Targeting Schools http://jc.infradapt.com/index.php/blog/entry/thedarkoverlord-solutions-is-at-it-again-this-time-the-hacker-group-is-targeting-schools http://jc.infradapt.com/index.php/blog/entry/thedarkoverlord-solutions-is-at-it-again-this-time-the-hacker-group-is-targeting-schools

While many youngsters enjoy it when their school shuts down, this was likely not the case in Flathead Valley, Montana, where the cybercriminal group ‘TheDarkOverlord Solutions’ targeted the entire Columbia Falls school district. This attack caused the three-day closure and otherwise disrupted over 30 schools, and the personal information of teachers, students, and school administrators was supposedly to be released if the group didn’t receive a ransom payment.

Artificial Intelligence Can Be Useful To Hackers, Too http://jc.infradapt.com/index.php/blog/entry/artificial-intelligence-can-be-useful-to-hackers-too http://jc.infradapt.com/index.php/blog/entry/artificial-intelligence-can-be-useful-to-hackers-too

Man matching wits with computer isn’t new territory. In 1830, a locomotive raced a horse to see which was superior in terms of speed and distance. 1956 saw the first time a human played chess against a computer. Today, the time has come when an artificial intelligence has begun to break into a new territory that was dominated by humans for thousands of years: crime.

It’s All About Supply and Demand http://jc.infradapt.com/index.php/newsletter-content/entry/what-s-your-personal-information-worth-on-the-black-market-it-s-all-about-supply-and-demand http://jc.infradapt.com/index.php/newsletter-content/entry/what-s-your-personal-information-worth-on-the-black-market-it-s-all-about-supply-and-demand

If your company’s sensitive data was to be put up for sale, how much do you think it would go for? Chances are, you may be guessing a little high, which makes things worse for businesses in such a situation. Assuming that your data will be sold for a premium price will likely lead you to believe that fewer criminals will access it than actually will.
