Competition will be kicking itself over Red Hat deal, says Nokia … – Light Reading

July 9, 2023 | Author: admin

"It was a very, very smart move on our part. Our competition is probably privately kicking itself it didn't think of it before we did."

So said Fran Heeran, Nokia's general manager of core networks, cloud and network services, when Light Reading caught up with him to talk about the Finnish supplier's tie-up with Red Hat, announced last week.

Why the confidence? "[The partnership] is a reaction to the way the market is going," asserts Heeran. "Our CSP [communications service provider] customers have been telling us they want more choice and openness. More and more CSPs are making separate buying decisions on cloud infra and applications."

Starting from the end of this year or early 2024, CSPs asking Nokia for a full stack of mobile packet core cloud-native functions running on top of a container platform will get Red Hat's "best of breed" (Heeran's words) underlying cloud infra.

Heeran concedes that Nokia Container Services (NCS) were not good at supporting apps from other vendors.

"We've been very open and very deliberate for a couple of years now that our cloud infrastructure offering was really [only] designed for our applications," he says. "We were not in the market of selling a general-purpose horizontal cloud, hosting multiple applications from multiple vendors."

The Nokia man was quick to point out, as he did on last week's call with reporters and analysts that there'd be no vendor lock-in. Nokia's apps, he stressed, will work with the big three hyperscalers: AWS, Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure. And if CSPs want NCS, that too will still be available.

"We're essentially providing extensive long-term ongoing development and support for our own portfolio with Red Hat," Heeran adds. "They'll have the development team, but it will be us driving it". As part of the deal about 350 Nokia employees will be transferred to Red Hat.

"In the next five, six and seven years this market will fundamentally change. If we don't start planning for that, we'll have a challenge further downstream," says Heeran. "We're positioning ourselves to be truly multicloud."

Contained excitement

Should Nokia's competition in the provision of mobile packet core network functions, the likes of Ericsson and Huawei, be quaking in their container boots as Heeran suggests?

Inderpreet Kaur, senior analyst and telco cloud specialist at Omdia, a Light Reading sister company, does not go that far, although she doesn't rule out similar partnerships emerging as a way to combat growing industry fragmentation. From an operator's perspective, Kaur says a consistent cloud platform that can run network functions from different vendors makes more sense.

"Nokia and Red Hat will aim to deliver a simplified horizontal cloud infrastructure for telcos," she continues, "but there are implications for Nokia as there might be customers preferring VMWare or Wind River or even public cloud providers at the CaaS [container-as-a-service] layer. From that perspective, would this be the first of a few more announcements to come?"

Predicting how the market will develop, and picking winners and losers, is far from easy though.

"A common horizontal platform from Red Hat might make it an extremely dominant provider of CaaS to the extent that it starts to charge premium pricing," speculates Kaur. "In that case, customers might find the full stack [network functions plus cloud software] from Ericsson and Huawei more appealing. However, competition from VMware, Wind River and so on means Red Hat is unlikely to raise prices too high."

Iranian Charming Kitten Group Evolves Tools and Tactics – Duo Security

July 9, 2023 | Author: admin

An Iranian state-sponsored threat group known for targeting diplomats, foreign policy experts, and government officials recently has employed a new infection chain and lure in an operation aimed at a nuclear security expert at a United States think tank.

The operation, identified by researchers at Proofpoint, is the work of a group known as Charming Kitten that is known to support the interests of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and has consistently targeted journalists, policy experts, and other key figures in sectors of interest to the Iranian government. Charming Kitten is also known as TA453 and APT42 and in the recent operation the group used a simple, benign email to begin a relationship with the target. The attackers then sent a follow-up email that contained a malicious macro that pointed to a Dropbox URL. That URL hosted a .rar file that in turn contained an LNK file.

Using a .rar and LNK file to deploy malware differs from TA453s typical infection chain of using VBA macros or remote template injection. The LNK enclosed in the RAR used PowerShell to download additional stages from a cloud hosting provider, a new analysis by Proofpoint says.

Following the dropper using obfuscated PowerShell to call out to the cloud hosting provider, the malware uses the Gorjol function to download base64 encoded content from a .txt file. The downloaded content is decoded and invoked, becoming the function Borjol. Borjol communicates over AES encrypted HTTPS with the attacker-registered subdomain fuschia-rhinestone.cleverapps[.]io via the legitimate Clever Cloud service, which allows users to host JavaScript applications in the cloud. The returned data decrypts into another Borjol function. This new function uses previous variables and results in decrypting the PowerShell backdoor, dubbed GorjolEcho.

After the backdoor was delivered to the victim, the TA453 attackers eventually realized that it wasnt working as intended, because the victims machine was an Apple and the malware was designed for a Windows system. So the attackers went back to work and redesigned their infection chain to work on macOS and included a new backdoor that Proofpoint calls NokNok. The ZIP archive containing the NokNok backdoor was disguised as a VPN client.

The bespoke VPN application masquerades as a VPN application GUI. Upon initialization, it executes an Apple script file, which uses curl to download a file from library- store[.]camdvr[.]org/DMPR/[alphanumeric string]. At the time of analysis, library- store.camdvr[.]org was resolving to 144.217.129[.]176, an OVH IP. This second stage is a bash script dubbed NokNok that establishes a backdoor on the system. It generates a system identifier by combining the operating system name, hostname, and a random number. That system identifier is then encrypted with the NokNok function and base64 encoded before being used as the payload of an HTTP POST to library-store.camdvr[.]org, the analysis says.

The NokNok backdoor has four discrete modules, each with a separate function, including a mobile for persistence. There are overlaps between the functionality of NokNok and an older backdoor used by the same threat group, known as GhostEcho. TA453 has shown persistence and versatility in its operations over the years and is continuing to adapts its tools and tactics.

TA453 continues to significantly adapt its infection chains to complicate detection efforts and conduct cyber espionage operations against its targets of interest. The use of Google Scripts, Dropbox, and CleverApps demonstrate that TA453 continues to subscribe to a multi-cloud approach in its efforts to likely minimize disruptions from threat hunters. TA453s willingness to port malware to Mach-O also demonstrates how much effort the threat actor is willing to put into pursuing its targets, the Proofpoint researchers said.

AAI signs deal with SITA, 43 airports to adopt cloud-based technologies for passenger, bag processing – Deccan Herald

July 9, 2023 | Author: admin

The deal will see improvement in over 2,700 passenger touchpoints, paving way for the adoption of new-age solutions to meet modern passengers' expectations.

Initially deployed across 43 airports, the technologies are scalable to an additional 40 airports over the next seven years. Over 500 million passengers are expected to be processed during this period.

"The solutions will give passengers more control over their journey, offering a low-touch, efficient check-in, bag drop, and collection process through assisted and self-service mechanisms. The airports will benefit from a reduced infrastructure footprint and increased operational efficiency. At the same time, airlines will see service charges drop and can take advantage of an agile technology platform to build bespoke passenger experiences," Sumesh Patel, president, Asia Pacific, SITA, told a press conference.

"The adoption of cloud solutions also brings new agility and flexibility to scale airport operations efficiently as passenger numbers grow. The cloud first approach enforces better security and offers airlines a platform to host new progressive technologies and move away from native applications. Centralised cloud hosting of all servers means reduced on-premise infrastructure costs and results in centralised control, enabling proactive monitoring and control of services," he added.

Patel explained that the rollout of new cloud technology will enable Indian airports to shift to common use passenger experiences where multiple airlines can leverage the same infrastructure, such as check in counters, self- service kiosks and boarding gates.

"The number of airports in India is expected to increase from 148 today to 220 by 2025. The new airports will bring closer together Indias almost 50 cities with populations exceeding one million people, creating substantial economic value in the long term. By connecting these cities better, air travel and transport will help unlock the full potential of India's economic growth too.

"Ensuring efficient and fluid operations and a seamless passenger experience at these airports will be critical to delivering on Indias air transport industry opportunity," Patel said.

Under the agreement, SITA will deploy its state-of-the-art solutions, including SITA Flex, Common Use Passenger Processing System (CUPPS), SITA Common Use Self Service (CUSS) and SITA Bag Manager. These IATA-certified platforms offer airlines and ground handlers the benefits of common use technologies, enabling scalable operations to meet their specific operational requirements.

"The baggage reconciliation system ensures a high level of baggage accountability, preventing losses and security concerns, which is critical to industry recovery amidst a spiralling baggage mishandling rate. This project represents a significant shift towards adopting cutting-edge technological platforms, enhancing operational efficiencies, and paving the way for the future adoption of biometric passenger processing.

"Additionally, real-time dashboard-based information will be made available to governing agencies, promoting transparency and informed decision-making," he said.

Patel informed that AAI officers at the airport and headquarters now have access to online real time dashboards, replacing the monthly service availability reports.

"The solution ensures they are better informed and know the availability of systems across all airports at every point in time, optimizing efficiency and promoting smooth operations," he said.

Geneva-based SITA delivers technology-based solutions for airlines, airports, aircraft and governments to ensure seamless, safe and sustainable air travel.

Twitter Refusing to Pay Google Cloud Bill Report Shows – Tekedia

July 9, 2023 | Author: admin

A recent report by The Wall Street Journal has revealed that Twitter is in a dispute with Google over its cloud computing bill, which amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars per year. According to the report, Twitter is refusing to pay the full amount that Google is charging, claiming that the service is unreliable and overpriced.

The report cites anonymous sources familiar with the matter, who say that Twitter has been unhappy with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) since it migrated most of its infrastructure from Amazon Web Services (AWS) in 2018. The sources say that Twitter has experienced frequent outages, slow performance, and security issues on GCP, and that it believes Google is charging too much for the service.

Twitter is reportedly seeking to renegotiate its contract with Google, which expired in June 2023, or to switch back to AWS or another cloud provider. However, Google is not willing to lower its prices or offer any concessions and is threatening to take legal action if Twitter does not pay its bill. Just yesterday, Twitter users experienced a rate limit error while trying to navigate through the bird app, with Elon Musk tweeting about the glitch as mere systemic push on curtailing information scalping on the platform which many presume as a shift to make users subscribe on twitter blue subscription.

Sources told Bloomberg that Google had initially struggled to communicate with Musk to discuss the unpaid bills and had tried to reach him by contacting staff at SpaceX instead. Yaccarino, who became CEO of the company in early June, helped to restore the relationship and held talks with Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian, a person familiar with the matter told Bloomberg. They said that Musk was supportive of the changed relationship.

The report also claims that Twitters decision to ban former President Donald Trump from its platform in January has added to the tension between the two companies, as Google was unhappy with Twitters handling of the situation and its impact on free speech.

The companies are also negotiating a broader partnership that could include Googles advertising spending on Twitter and its use of Twitters API, the person added. Twitter typically pays between $200 million and $300 million a year for Cloud services from Google, sources told Bloomberg.

Google did not immediately respond to Insiders request for comment, while Twitter replied with its standard automatic response, which did not address Insiders query. Since Musk bought Twitter in October, hes claimed that the social-media company had been on the path to bankruptcy and has drastically pulled back on spending. He chopped Twitters workforce in half the week after he took charge and has been incrementally laying off other staff ever since.

Neither Twitter nor Google has commented publicly on the report, but both companies have acknowledged that they have a partnership on cloud computing. In a statement to The Wall Street Journal, a Twitter spokesperson said: We have a multi-year partnership with Google Cloud and are happy with the relationship and the results weve seen. A Google spokesperson said: Were proud to work with Twitter and look forward to continuing our partnership.
