IRS Tax Identity Theft and Fraud Resources – The CPA Journal

February 28, 2021 | Author: admin

The Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Divisions Annual Report for 2020 (Pub 3583: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p3583.pdf) emphasized coronavirus (COVID-19)-related tax fraud and cybercrimes, along with its more typical investigative activities. The pandemic was also the breeding ground for several of the schemes identified in this years IRS Dirty Dozen list of tax scams for 2020 (IR-2020-160). New York CPAs participating in the Annual Tax Software Survey for 2020 (see page 30) reported an increase in cybersecurity attacks during the extended tax season, potentially due to shifting to a work-at-home environment. Survey respondents indicated their receipt of phishing or malware e-mails was running at about the same level as last year. There was a slight improvement reported in the occurrence of client identity theft issues, which fortunately appear to be on a (slow) decline.

The IRS focused taxpayer and tax professional education efforts for 2020 on identity theft and data security resources that many practitioners may find to be quite useful.

The IRS launched the Identity Theft Central webpage (https://www.irs.gov/identity-theft-central) to collect its information on identity theft and data security. The Identity Theft Central main page is an easy starting point to access IRS resources for individuals, tax professionals, and businesses, along with links to the Security Summit and reporting phishing and online scams. One of the useful overview resources highlighted on Identity Theft Central is the Taxes. Security. Together webpage (https://bit.ly/2Kx0Hle). This presents select resources on the IRS National Tax Security Awareness Week; discusses how taxpayers, tax professionals, and businesses can help prevent identity theft; and includes links to important webpages on the IRS and other federal websites.

The Taxpayer Guide to Identity Theft webpage (https://bit.ly/3nqBUhs) is a good educational tool to help individuals prevent identity theft or recognize if it has occurred. The Identity Theft Information for Businesses page (https://bit.ly/3gS53j7) provides similar resources for businesses. Examples of signs of identity theft include receiving notices from the IRS on a variety of unexpected matters andwell known to tax preparersrejection of a tax return from e-filing. Several action steps are encouraged, with handy links and examples, along with connections to various IRS resources (see the Sidebar).

Identity Theft Information for Tax Professionals (https://bit.ly/3ml644d) highlights resources for tax practitioners to assist clients in reporting identity theft, and for reporting attacks on accounting CPA firm itself. Important actions in preventing client identity theft include tracking e-file acknowledgements of tax returns filed, tracking Electronic Filing Identification Number (EFIN) usage, and checking the weekly reports on Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) returns filed. The webpage also includes a listing of practitioner-related IRS resources (see the Sidebar).

Two important events that the IRS used to promote identity theft and cyber-security awareness and best practices were the National Tax Security Week and the Security Summit.

National Tax Security Awareness Week (https://bit.ly/2WnKbqp) is an annual event that runs in early December, with daily focuses on specific topics. For example, Day 1 of 2020 included an overview with an extensive list of best practices, such as using security and antivirus software, avoid unse-cured public Wi-Fi, and backup computer and mobile phone files. Day 2 discussed the importance of multifactor authentication, which is further addressed in IRS Tax Tip 2020-169 (https://bit.ly/2WkWpQJ). The tip announced that online tax preparation products will offer multifactor authentication as a standard feature in 2021, although it will be optional for taxpayers and tax preparers to make use of it. Day 3 explained that all taxpayers will be able to proactively apply for an identity protection personal identification number (IP PIN) beginning in mid-January 2021. Tools for preventing cybersecurity attacks on businesses were the focus of day 4, including resources available on the IRS Identity Theft Central and Security Summit, as well as on the Federal Trade Commissions website. Day 5 was a great summary of best practices for tax professionals, such as installing antivirus software, using multifactor authentication for online accounts, and backing up sensitive files.

The Security Summit (https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/security-summit) is a coalition of state agencies and private-sector tax professionals working in partnership with the IRS to help increase taxpayer awareness, and conversely reduce tax-related cybercrime, with regard to identity theft and tax fraud issues. The five-part Security Summit awareness campaign for 2020 (https://bit.ly/3akQVxw) focused on the additional cybersecurity risks in a work-from-home environment. The IRS encouraged tax professionals to employ the Security Six, such as a Virtual Private Network (VPN) and multifactor identification of a security code, as well as broad-based security software to protect devices from malware. Part 4 addresses how to avoid phishing emails from fraud-sters posing as potential clients in need of help with COVID-19 stimulus. Part 5 discussed the Federal Trade Commissions requirement that all professional tax preparers create and maintain a written information security plan with specific features.

The IRS website presents several more relevant resources beyond those discussed above. For example, the Protect Your Clients; Protect Yourself webpage (https://bit.ly/2LHtW5E) would be a good starting point for anyone unfamiliar with IRS materials. The Tax Security 2.0: Taxes-Security-Together Checklist (https://bit.ly/2Kbcx4P) summarizes best practices to defend against cybersecurity incursions, such as the Security Six, creating a data security plan and a data theft recovery plan, and recognizing the signs of phishing emails and client data theft. The Data Theft Information for Tax Professionals webpage (https://bit.ly/34hhYGa) is an excellent one-stop listing of contact information for the IRS, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Secret Service, the Federal Trade Commission, state agencies, and credit bureaus. Finally, the main IRS website has a webpage dedicated to information about IRS Criminal Investigations (https://bit.ly/3oRzHvI) with access to its annual report on tax crimes.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology published its Small Business Information Security: The Fundamentals (https://bit.ly/3mquHMQ) in November 2016. It is a readable 54-page guide to the basics of small business information security. The guide provides many best practices for safeguarding information and working safely and securely. Appendix C contains a summary of recommended actions: identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover. Appendix D provides customizable worksheets for identifying information types and threats, as well as other related activities.

The Federal Trade Commission has excellent internet security resources for nonexperts. The Cybersecurity for Small Business webpage (https://bit.ly/3oZjm8l) offers materials grouped into 12 categories, such as cybersecurity basics, understanding the NIST cybersecurity framework, and secure remote access. The FTC webpage Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic: The FTC in Action (https://bit.ly/3oWizoG) contains extensive information about coronavirus scams. The Department of Justice National Center for Disaster Fraud (NCDF) (https://www.justice.gov/disaster-fraud) offers a COVID-19 fraud hotline and online complaint webpage (https://www.justice.gov/disaster-fraud) with links to eight federal agency fraud reporting functions. Last but not least, the Federal Communication Commission offers a handy Smartphone Security Checklist (https://bit.ly/34kCLsn) as an interactive tool or short PDF.

What is database encryption? – VentureBeat

February 28, 2021 | Author: admin

Join Transform 2021 for the most important themes in enterprise AI & Data. Learn more.

Database encryption protects sensitive information by scrambling the data when its stored, or, as it has become popular to say, is at rest.

There are several methods to generate and apply secret codes, but the end result is to make the data unusable in case an attacker manages to evade the standard defenses and gain direct access to the raw bits inside.

While the basic motivation remains rendering the data unreadable to those without authorized access, the process of encoding has evolved to support a number of different use cases:

The encryption process is a close cousin to the mathematical assurance that makes up the foundation of the ledger or blockchain databases. Digital signatures algorithms used to authorize and guarantee the changes to the ledgers are often developed and supported by the same library. While blockchain databases do not necessarily offer privacy indeed, all transactions are public they are often categorized similarly.

Oracle has been shipping tools to enable database encryption for decades, with a feature they call transparent database encryption thats designed to minimize the difficulty of use. Database administrators can protect entire databases, particular tables, or just individual columns. The keys are stored separately in an Oracle Key Vault, and theyre managed to keep authorized database consumers from having to input them. This is because, the documentation explains, the data is transparently decrypted for database users and applications. This automated encryption is a good defense against stolen storage media or attackers who manage to gain access to the raw data stored on disks (that is, at rest).

Microsofts SQL Server also supports automatically encrypting data before its stored to a hard disk drive (HDD) or solid state disk (SSD), something it also calls transparent database encryption. Versions running locally or in the Azure cloud can turn it on. They also have a separate layer designed to ensure that all connections to the database from other servers are encrypted.

Many companies are also relying on encryption thats added by the file system or the hardware of the disk drive itself. Operating systems like MacOS, Linux, or Windows will support encryption of all files as theyre stored, which also covers the indices and data columns stored by the database software. Adding encryption to the file system will affect the overall load of the server by increasing the time it takes to record the data.

Some drives can now handle the encryption using special chips added to the disk drive. Some are designed to be easily removable, so they might be locked up in a physical safe or moved to a different location for backup.

Many popular open source databases like MySQL or PostgreSQL include encryption libraries to simplify implementing encryption. Most of them use established cryptographic libraries instead of trying to create their own. The pgcrypto module, for instance, offers encryption functions that can be applied within SQL queries, and the crypt() function is often used to scramble passwords before theyre stored.

MongoDB added the ability to encrypt their databases at rest to the Enterprise edition. The default relies on AES with 256-bit keys. MongoDB added field-level encryption to secure certain parts of the data stored in the database across all its offerings in December 2019.

IBM isnt an upstart in the industry, but it is one of the leaders exploring some of the more sophisticated algorithms for homomorphic encryption. The company has released a toolkit for adding fully homomorphic encryption to iOS and MacOS. Microsofts Research division is also sharing SEAL, a homomorphic encryption library that supports basic arithmetic. Its released under the MIT license and is built for linking with .Net and C++ code.

The challenge for managing encryption is keeping all of the keys safe and secure. Access to the data is controlled by the keys, and they should be kept independent of the data when the database is not being used. Extra care must also be taken with the backups, because a lost key can mean that an entire database is rendered unreadable.

Cloud companies are supporting key management by setting up separate services that isolate the keys from the regular computation. Microsofts Azure calls its service the Key Vault, and it keeps the keys in Hardware Security Modules (HSM), which will store them with an extra layer of encryption. IBM calls its service Key Protect, and it also uses HSMs to protect the local keys the database uses.

Adding encryption requires a significant amount of computation, and this increases the cost of storing and retrieving the information. In some cases, the CPUs are idle, and the extra cost is negligible. Many desktops and cell phones, for instance, rarely use more than a small fraction of their available CPU cycles. If these devices encrypt the data before sending it to the database, they bear the computational burden, which may be negligible, and you dont want to overload the central database.

But in other cases, adding the encryption can require stronger database servers and larger clusters to handle the load. Much depends on how the encryption is applied and how the data will be used afterwards. Bulk encryption is built into some hard disks and operating systems, and its possible to turn on these features without significantly slowing down the hardware.

The most sophisticated algorithms, like homomorphic encryption, require a significantly larger computational infrastructure. The field continues to be an area of extremely active exploration, and new algorithms can be several orders of magnitude faster than their predecessor, but the performance is still not practical for many applications.

EFF Director Cindy Cohn On Warrantless Surveillance, Encryption And Financial Privacy With Bitcoin – Forbes

February 28, 2021 | Author: admin

SAN FRANCISCO, CA - September 19: One of the custom paintings in a stairwell of the Electronic ... [+] Frontier Foundation offices, September 19, 2013 in San Francisco, CA, USA. (Photo by Peter DaSilva for The Washington Post via Getty Images)

Recently, theres been a lot of activity around encryption, bitcoin and the connection between financial and personal liberty and digital rights and tools. As protest movements emerge around the world, there are also moves to create backdoors into encryption and to weaken the same technologies that are underpinning and supporting meaningful dissent from Hong Kong to Nigeria.

Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) director Cindy Cohn has been at the forefront of fighting for digital rights, both as a lawyer and advocate on important Constitutional cases. Heres her thoughts on what it means to lead a digital rights advocacy group in a volatile time where digital rights are under threat.

We set three challenge areas for the year 2020, but I would say that weve done a lot on them, there have been intervening events.

Our three challenge areas for 2020 were the rise of public-private partnerships between the police and private companies for surveillance purposes, the need to really articulate the role of the public interest Internet, especially in Europe to try to make sure that rules that get passed because Europe is mad at Facebook dont have bad effects on Facebook competitors or little businesses and also things like the Internet Archive and Wikimedia that are very much public interest pieces of Internet infrastructure.

And then the third [area] was to talk about the problems of content moderation and how the content moderation strategies of big tech are troubling and also causing these collateral effects like attacks on end-to-end encryption.

Those were the three things we started out with. Of course, the two big things that intervened and one small thing are, well, one big thing is COVID, of course and so we spent a lot of time on working on how to think about the kinds of tracking applications that are coming out on COVID soon well be talking about immunity passports [...], how to think about those things and how to weigh the tradeoffs.

The second big thing that happened was the big racial justice movement and police violence against people of color and the response and that has led us to really refresh and push out alot of the work that we do around protecting yourself in protests, as well as raise some concern on the use of facial recognition technologies and the impact they have on political protests and then the third thing is the election in the United States.

Theres probably a much more erudite version of this on the EFF website. The general framing of this, I try to frame it for people who may not be in the thick of it because it can feel really technical.

Imagine a world in which the local police come around and knock on your door and say theres crime around here, and some of it is really serious crime, so what we want you to do is to make sure that your doors not locked because if youre a criminal, we want to be able to come in and catch you, and most people would get thats a really insane way to go about law enforcement because, first of all, if theres crime about, you want to be more secure not less secure, and why are the cops treating me like Im a potential defendant as opposed to the person who needs to be protected?

These two things would come up for me immediately and I think they would for most people. Law enforcement isnt doing their job right if the way that theyre trying to do their job is to make me less secure in order to make their job easier.

[...]

Ive been involved in trying to protect end-to-end encryption, first to free it up from government control with the Bernstein case in the 90s, and now trying to protect it for the 30 years Ive been involved with Internet policy a time that predates even the World Wide Web. I can give you 20 other reasons as well, but I think those are the two biggest ones in terms of how to talk to people who arent deep in this debate about it.

We do a lot of work to support cryptocurrencies we passed the period where we were nervous about the regulatory state. [...] We do a lot of work to support financial privacy and we think that bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies are really for us as a civil liberties group we think about it in the framing of financial privacy and the importance of this. My colleague Rainey Reitman does a lot of work on this, and we do a lot of work talking to regulators on why financial privacy matters and why they should respect it.

The Jewel case had an argument in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals just on November 2nd, the day before the elections where it sits as a legal matter is that the government claims secrecy and that because of this secrecy the case should be dismissed some version of this state is been where weve been since weve launched the case in 2008. Well see if the Ninth Circuit buys it there are several other decisions that have come out of the Ninth Circuit in the last couple of years that makes us think they will reject the governments position. But that really just gets us to the starting gate of the case so well have further to go. So thats where that is, and were waiting to see what the panel is going to do.

In the overall fight about NSA surveillance [...], the bigger thing is that the NSA has abandoned two of the three big programs that it had that the [EFF] sued over. One of them is the mass collection of telephone records, which they didnt really abandon but Congress made them stop. They do something else that honestly doesnt seem to collect fewer records, so theres still an ongoing fight about that.

The underlying authority for that mass collection actually got extended to March 2020, and then they never renewed it. The underlying legal authority for the mass telephone collection has expired. We dont think that thats limited them too much because the way that these programs work if theyve launched it while they still have authority, they get to keep doing it. They usually cannot start a new investigation. Because its all secret, we dont know what loopholes are there, but on the surface, thats what its supposed to look like.

The other one is the mass metadata collection, which the [NSA] stopped a long time ago actually, because it didnt work and Congress was breathing down their necks about the fact that it didnt work so they stopped that one.

But the tapping into the Internet backbone, which is really to me the bigger of the programs in terms of our security and the risk of mischief is still going on as far as we can tell. Theyve had to limit it and theyve had to slowly narrow it, but the core of the program where theyre sitting on the Internet backbone watching all of the traffic that goes by with a secret list to pull off what they want thats still going on.

The first thing I would say is that while there are some individual things that people can do, if you reduce this to a problem about your choices, youre going to fail. Youre going to be overwhelmed. We have to stand up for policy choices and legal choices that make these tools available to us. Yes, people can use things like Signal and Tor (Im on the board of directors for the Tor Project), they can use DuckDuckGo rather than Google to have more private searches there are a suite of tools that you can use such as Mastodon rather than Facebook for your social media.

Theres a suite of alternative tools that people can use, but theyre all very small and weak compared to how big they ought to be, and I think we have to stand up for legal and policy solutions that make these tools better available to us. Supporting end-to-end encryption against these kinds of attacks is one of the big things that we do and a place where we put a lot of our efforts in but also just in general, how do we move away from the surveillance business model as well as the surveillance state. Both of them are growing greater right now and both of them require not just technical solutions, technical solutions are important but we also have to have policy and legal solutions tech cant do this by itself.

People can support organizations like us that do this work theres a ton of them and its a movement. If EFF is the one you want, we have cool swag but there are organizations all around the world, big and small that are working in the digital rights movement its not hard to find them, we have a bunch of them in our Electronic Frontier Alliance. In addition to supporting the tools by using the tools and building the tools, you need to support the laws and policies that protect the tools.

India Messaging App Rules | WhatsApp sticks to its stance on end-to-end encryption – Economic Times

February 28, 2021 | Author: admin

Bengaluru | New Delhi: WhatsApp is evaluating all options following the governments mandate to trace the origin of contentious messages, people aware of the matter told The Economic Times, adding that the Facebook-owned app remains committed to offering users end-to-end encryption on its platform.

WhatsApp will not bend on the issue of user privacy as providing traceability would require it to digitally fingerprint billions of messages exchanged every day in India, store them on company servers and alter the technology architecture of the app, industry sources said.

WhatsApp did not respond to emails seeking comment.

Information Technology Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad has said that the government will seek traceability of originator only in the case of crimes where the punishment is more than five years of jail term.

The law has enough "safeguards" in place to avoid its misuse, Prasad said.

The new regulations, notified Thursday, require messaging apps to trace the originator of flagged messages that contribute to crimes of a severe nature. This includes issues related to the countrys security and sovereignty, public order as well as sexual crimes against women and children.

Some legal and technology experts are also contesting WhatsApps stance on end-to-end encryption by pointing out that the newly notified intermediary rules do not require encrypted apps to disclose the contents of a message.

"The intermediary regulations are not asking for encryption breaking for identification but merely the ability to tag the very first message, which should be possible without actually disclosing the content," said Nikhil Narendran, partner at Trilegal.

The Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules 2021, under Section 79 of the Information Technology Act, which came into force on Thursday, states that the government will first try to use "other less intrusive means" to identify the originator of the flagged messages, before seeking the intervention of the platform. If the message originated overseas, the first person to have shared the content in India will be considered the "first originator", the new rules state.

WhatsApp, which has over 400 million users in India, has been opposing government calls for traceability for three years now on the grounds that it is a breach of user privacy and runs counter to India's fundamental right to privacy.

On its website, WhatsApp states that end-to-end encryption ensures that messages are secured from falling into the "wrong hands".

Arguing that traceability is still an option without breaking end-to-end encryption or compromising user privacy, V Kamakoti, a professor at IIT Madras who is a member of the National Security Advisory Board , told ET that WhatsApp could employ options such as tagging the originators phone number with the message and displaying it every time it is forwarded.

This, he said, would not require WhatsApp to read the messages at any stage, thus keeping its encryption in place and avoiding violation of privacy rights. Alternately, "the originator information can remain encrypted and upon receiving a court order, they can decrypt and provide the information", he said.

The two options were part of his submission to the Madras High Court in 2019 when the court was hearing two writ petitions filed the previous year.

Pointing out that fake news and rumours on social media are a serious concern, Kamakoti said, "I can't understand why they (WhatsApp) are opposed to the solutions, they should explain how privacy is being compromised in the solutions proposed," he said.

Meanwhile, industry executives who termed the governments ask as akin to "mass surveillance" , told ET that in order to meet these stipulations, "WhatsApp would have to re-engineer its complete platform which would go against its "basic tenet of privacy".

End-to-end encryption means only the user and the person they are communicating with can read or listen to what is sent. Interestingly, in its privacy policy, the Facebook-owned app states that while most messages are deleted from its servers once delivered, undelivered messages or forwarded media are saved on its servers in encrypted form temporarily.

Mishi Choudhary, legal director at Software Freedom Law Centre in New York, believes that the traceability requirement coupled with the mandatory requirement for appointing a chief compliance officer, a nodal contact person and a resident grievance officer might make it difficult for smaller messaging platforms such as Signal and Telegram to provide services in India.

"This limits user choice at a time when users have come to expect encrypted, safe messaging services as an essential part of modern communications," she said. The government has argued that lack of control over fake news and misinformation through platforms such as WhatsApp were leading to people dying as mobs inflamed by such messages were lynching people in the country. According to the government, misinformation has also given rise to challenges amid the Covid-19 pandemic and the farmers agitation, among others.

"The call for responsible freedom and ensuring that no information or data is misleading is key for a diverse democracy like India to curb the widespread issue of fake news," industry body Nasscom said on Friday.

It added that the government must ensure that new rules for regulating content on technology platforms must not hurt creativity and freedom of speech and expression of the citizens.

WhatsApp and smaller rival Signal follow the same encryption protocol that secures messages before they leave the users device.

Messages are secured with a lock, and only the sender and recipient have the special key needed to unlock and read them.

Inside the race to keep secrets safe from the quantum computing revolution – Telegraph.co.uk

February 28, 2021 | Author: admin

We have done some work with the NCSC but they just do not have the budget to fund this kind of development, he says.

His fear is that the UK could experience a brain drain of cryptography talent to other countries like Canada and France that have allocated more government funding to the field.

In January, the French government announced 150m (130m) in funding for quantum safe encryption as part of a larger 1.8bn grant for quantum computing.

Insiders with links to the security services say that the Government is carrying out its own secret work on quantum safe encryption instead of relying on start-ups.

Dr Ian Levy, the technical director of the NCSC, says the organisation "continues to work closely with industry, academia and international partners" on the subject. "The NCSC is committed to ensuring the UK is well-prepared for quantum-safe cryptography," he adds.

The threat of quantum computing breaking encryption could be solved within months, however. Many organisations, including PQ Shield and Post-Quantum have been taking part in a global competition run by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

The contest, announced in 2016, is nearing completion. Early next year, NIST will announce the new standard for quantum safe encryption, essentially replacing RSA. It will change the world not for the next decade, but for the next 40 or 50 years, Cheng says.

If everything goes smoothly, in several years the encryption keeping secrets safe will be quietly swapped out so that quantum computers cannot easily crack messages.

I think the answer to the threat should be transparent for users. They should have basically the same experience they have today. They shouldn't have to install some new bit of kit, says Alan Woodward, a computer security expert and visiting professor at the University of Surrey.

But while NISTs competition is nearing its end, theres a rival scheme that has already been launched around the world.

Telecom businesses such as BT have spent millions of pounds creating specialist networks that use a system called quantum key distribution. It uses a stream of single photos to transfer the secret encryption keys used to decrypt data securely.

Instead of a new encryption algorithm, this scheme relies on kilometres of fibre optic cables to transfer keys and has been the favoured choice of physicists who prefer its reliance on photons rather than mathematics.
