Zoom will seek public feedback on plan for stronger encryption – The Indian Express

By: Bloomberg | Published: May 14, 2020 12:04:44 pm Zoom will bolster security for all users on May 30 with GCM-level encryption, which is lower than the end-to-end standard. (Image: Gabby Jones/Bloomberg)

Zoom Video Communications Inc said it will share details on May 22 of its plan to offer users end-to-end encryption, seeking to quell concerns that the popular conferencing tool has lax security practices.

Zoom will seek public feedback on its encryption design before implementing the stepped-up procedures, executives said Wednesday during a weekly webinar focused on security. End-to-end encryption, the highest standard of digital communications security, makes messages, video, audio and photos impossible to decipher by third parties. The results of Zooms public review will help determine when end-to-end encryption becomes available for meeting participants.

San Jose, California-based Zoom will bolster security for all users on May 30 with GCM-level encryption, which is lower than the end-to-end standard. The company will also let hosts prevent participants from accessing a single meeting through multiple devices. These changes are part of the companys pledge to conduct a three-month security review.

Zoom has leaped to the forefront of video-meeting apps from a little-known business enterprise tool as millions of people have been forced home by the coronavirus pandemic. The company has been lambasted for a variety of security lapses, including users unknowingly sending data to Facebook Inc when they logged into Zoom and some calls being routed through China even though no participant was based there. Concerns that the Chinese government may be snooping on some sensitive Zoom meetings has made encryption a key pillar of the effort to restore the companys reputation. The software maker bought secure-messaging provider Keybase Inc last week to harness the startups encryption expertise. Max Krohn, the co-founder of Keybase, is now head of security engineering at Zoom and will play an instrumental role encrypting the companys platform.

Shares increased 3 per cent to $165.86 at 3:06 pm in New York while the broader markets slumped. The stock has more than doubled this year.

Almost half of organisations have been reported to the ICO for a potential data breach – ResponseSource

94 percent of organisations now have a policy that requires encryption of all data held on removable media

MANCHESTER, UK 14 May, 2020 Apricorn, the leading manufacturer of software-free, 256-bit AES XTS hardware-encrypted USB drives today announced findings of its annual survey into the attitudes towards data breaches and the implementation of encryption technology within organisations. Almost half (43 per cent) of surveyed IT decision makers said that their organisation has been reported to the ICO since the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into effect. The survey also highlighted an increase in the implementation of encryption and endpoint control since GDPR was enforced.

A quarter of respondents (25%) said they had notified the ICO of a breach or potential breach within their organisation, whilst 21 per cent have had a breach or potential breach reported by someone else. Over 160,000 breach notifications have been made to data supervisory authorities in the European Economic Area (EEA) since GDPR came into play, according to a data breach survey carried out by law firm DLA Piper, up to the end of January 2020.

The fact that so many businesses are now choosing to notify of a potential breach is positive, but likely precautionary to avoid falling foul of the requirements and any significant financial or reputational ramifications, commented Jon Fielding, Managing Director EMEA, Apricorn.

However, these concerns are being mitigated by an increase in encryption and endpoint control. Nearly all respondents (94%) say their organisation has a policy that requires encryption of all data held on removable media. Of those that encrypt all data held on removable media, more than half (57%) hardware encrypt all information as standard on all removable media.

Of those with an information security strategy that covers employees use of their own IT equipment for mobile/remote working, Forty two per cent said they permitted only corporate IT provisioned/approved devices, and have strict security measures in place to enforce this with endpoint control, which shows a huge rise compared with 12 per cent in 2019, highlighting a positive shift in focus towards endpoint control.

When questioned on whether they had seen an increase in the implementation of encryption in their organisation since GDPR was enforced, nearly four in ten (39%) have noticed an increase, and their organisation now requires all data to be encrypted as standard, whether it's at rest or in transit. This is a positive step given the number of employees now working remotely as a result of the current pandemic.

Whilst many businesses are currently encrypting devices, they also highlighted that they have no further plans to expand encryption on USB sticks (38%), laptops (32%), desktops (37%), mobiles (31%) and portable hard drives (40%). This is worrying given the risks posed to corporate data being held on unencrypted devices. Businesses should allow only corporately approved, hardware encrypted devices that are whitelisted on the IT infrastructure, and block access to all non-approved media through end point control.

The wide variety of options for encryption deployment can be intimidating, and companies havent been using it effectively. Organisations are now beginning to recognise the importance of endpoint hardware encryption and the need to implement and enforce policies to protect corporate data, ensure compliance with data protection regulations, and reduce the potential for a data breach, points out Fielding.

When asked about the impact of a data breach on their organisation, more than a third (35%) of respondents cited that damage to the brand and reputation of the business is their main concern. This was followed by concerns over financial costs for incident response and clean-up (28%), loss of customer trust (18%) and financial costs resulting from a fine (12%).

Focusing on how best to manage and respond to a potential breach in cooperation with data protection authorities is essential. Being able to establish a cause and remediate quickly will put businesses in good stead for breach recovery, added Fielding.

Employees unintentionally putting data at risk remains the leading cause (33%) of a data breach, with lost or misplaced devices now the second biggest cause (24%), and third parties mishandling corporate information not far behind (23%). This correlates with the fact that despite more than a third (35%) of the survey respondents having complete visibility of which devices employees are using to access the corporate network, they are not certain that all are secure.

Fielding said its clear that GDPR is finally having some impact, but businesses need to recognise that compliance is ongoing and they should continue to enforce and update all policies. Equally, more needs to be done in terms of employee awareness and education if they want to reduce the risk of a data breach, particularly given the increase in data moving beyond the corporate network.

About the surveyThe research was conducted between 25.03.2020 - 27.03.2020, by Censuswide. Respondents were 100 UK IT decision makers (CIOs, Heads of IT, IT directors, Senior IT managers etc.) from enterprise organisations (1000+ employees) within the financial services, IT, manufacturing, business and professional services sectors. Censuswide abides by and employs members of the Market Research Society which is based on the ESOMAR principles.

VPN Tunnels explained: what are they and how can they keep your internet data secure – TechRadar

With growing censorship and regulations threatening global internet freedom and security, in turn, weve seen an increasing number of services become available to protect your online web browsing.

Virtual Private Networks (or VPN) have become increasingly popular in recent years for their ability to bypass government censorship and geo-blocked websites and services, and do so without giving away who is doing the bypassing.

For a VPN to do this, it creates what is known as a tunnel between you and the internet, encrypting your internet connection and stopping ISPs, hackers, and even the government from nosing through your browsing activity.

Read more:

When you connect to the internet with a VPN, it creates a connection between you and the internet that surrounds your internet data like a tunnel, encrypting the data packets your device sends.

While technically created by a VPN, the tunnel on its own cant be considered private unless its accompanied with encryption strong enough to prevent governments or ISPs from intercepting and reading your internet activity.

The level of encryption the tunnel has depends on the type of tunneling protocol used to encapsulate and encrypt the data going to and from your device and the internet.

There are many types of VPN protocols that offer varying levels of security and other features. The most commonly used tunneling protocols in the VPN industry are PPTP, L2TP/IPSec, SSTP, and OpenVPN - and the world's best VPN services should offer most or all of them. Lets take a closer look at them.

Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is one of the oldest protocols still being used by VPNs today. Developed by Microsoft and released with Windows 95, PPTP encrypts your data in packets and sends them through a tunnel it creates over your network connection.

PPTP is one of the easiest protocols to configure, requiring only a username, password, and server address to connect to the server. Its one of the fastest VPN protocols because of its low encryption level.

While it boasts fast connection speeds, the low level of encryption makes PPTP one of the least secure protocols you can use to protect your data. With known vulnerabilities dating as far back as 1998, and the absence of strong encryption, youll want to avoid using this protocol if you need solid online security and anonymity government agencies and authorities like the NSA have been able to compromise the protocols encryption.

Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is used in conjunction with Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) to create a more secure tunneling protocol than PPTP. L2TP encapsulates the data, but isnt adequately encrypted until IPSec wraps the data again with its own encryption to create two layers of encryption, securing the confidentiality of the data packets going through the tunnel.

L2TP/IPSec provides AES-256 bit encryption, one of the most advanced encryption standards that can be implemented. This double encapsulation does, however, make it a little slower than PPTP. It can also struggle with bypassing restrictive firewalls because it uses fixed ports, making VPN connections with L2TP easier to block. L2TP/IPSec is nonetheless a very popular protocol given the high level of security it provides.

Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol, named for its ability to transport internet data through the Secure Sockets Layer or SSL, is supported natively on Windows, making it easy for Windows users to set up this particular protocol. SSL makes internet data going through SSTP very secure, and because the port it uses isnt fixed, it is less likely to struggle with firewalls than L2TP.

SSL is also used in conjunction with Transport Layer Security (TLS) on your web browsers to add a layer to the site youre visiting to create a secure connection with your device. You can see this implemented whenever the website you visit starts with https instead of http.

As a Windows-based tunneling protocol, SSTP is not available on any other operating system, and hasnt been independently audited for potential backdoors built into the protocol.

Saving the best for last, we have OpenVPN, a relatively recent open source tunneling protocol that uses AES 256-bit encryption to protect data packets. Because the protocol is open source, the code is vetted thoroughly and regularly by the security community, who are constantly looking for potential security flaws.

The protocol is configurable on Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS, although third-party software is required to set up the protocol, and the protocol can be hard to configure. After configuration, however, OpenVPN provides a strong and wide range of cryptographic algorithms that will allow users to keep their internet data secure and to even bypass firewalls at fast connection speeds.

Even though its the fastest, you should steer clear of PPTP if you want to keep your internet data secure. L2TP/IPSec provides 256-bit encryption but is slower and struggles with firewalls given its fixed ports. SSTP, while very secure, is only available on Windows, and closed off from security checks for built-in backdoors.

This week, we saw some interesting news about ransomware features being added and continued attackers against high profile victims.

The biggest news is REvil's continued threats againstGrubman Shire Meiselas & Sacks (GSMLaw) after demanding a $21 million ransom. They have now increased the ransom to $42 million and have begun releasing emails that they state are damaging to President Trump.

From what was shared with BleepingComputer, it appears that theransomware operators are bluffing.

On the feature side, Netwalker created a auto-publishing data leak blog to be used by affiliates. REvil also added new code that will automatically terminates processes keeping a file open that they are trying to encrypt.

Contributors and those who provided new ransomware information and stories this week include: @BleepinComputer, @PolarToffee, @VK_Intel, @fwosar, @FourOctets, @demonslay335, @malwareforme, @Ionut_Ilascu, @DanielGallagher, @jorntvdw, @struppigel, @Seifreed, @malwrhunterteam, @LawrenceAbrams, @serghei, @GroupIB_GIB, @y_advintel, @IntelAdvanced, @Intel471Inc, @thyrex2002, @benkow_, @fbgwls245, @siri_urz, @PageSixEmily, and @Amigo_A_.

Alex Svirid released a decryptor for the CryLock (ex-Cryakl) 1.9.0.0 ransomware.

Benkw discovered that the GuLoader Trojan is distributing the HakBit ransomware.

MalwareHunterTeam found a new ransomware called Kupidon that appends the .kupidon extension to encrypted files and drops a ransom note named !KUPIDON_DECRYPT.txt.

The Sodinokibi (REvil) ransomware has added a new feature that allows it to encrypt more of a victim's files, even those that are opened and locked by another process.

Global business services company Pitney Bowes recently stopped an attack from Maze ransomware operators before the encryption routine could be deployed but the actor still managed to steal some data.

The Texas court system was hit by ransomware on Friday night, May 8th, which led to the branch network including websites and servers being disabled to block the malware from spreading to other systems.

Fortune 500 company Magellan Health Inc announced today that it was the victim of a ransomware attack on April 11, 2020, which led to the theft of personal information from one of its corporate servers.

MalwareHunterTeam found a new ransomware that is being spread with a COVID-19 lure. When encrypting files it appends the .dodged extension.

dnwls0719 found a new STOP Ransomware variant that appends the .mzlq extension to encrypted files.

A ransomware family has begun a new tactic of not only demanding a ransom for a decryptor but also demanding a second ransom not to publish files stolen in an attack.

S!Ri found a new ransomware called Blackmoon that appends the .cxk extension to encrypted files.

ProLock is a relatively new malware on the ransomware scene but has quickly attracted attention by targeting businesses and local governments and demanding huge ransoms for file decryption.

dnwls0719 found a new ransomware targets people in Turkey that appends the .zeronine extension.

The ransom demand for the secret files of a cyber-attacked lawyer to A-list stars has doubled to $42million as the hackers now threaten to reveal dirty laundry on President Donald Trump in just a week if they are not paid in full.

The Netwalker ransomware operation is recruiting potential affiliates with the possibility of million-dollar payouts and an auto-publishing data leak blog to help drive successful ransom payments.

WhatsApp Video Calls Will Soon Support 50: This Is Why 8s The Limit For Your Security – Forbes

WhatsApp users can now make end-to-end encrypted video calls for groups of up to eight. But once you ... [+] add more people to your video chat, youll be redirected to the much less secure and private Facebook Messenger Rooms.

WhatsApp users were just given an awesome new featurethe ability to make end-to-end encrypted video calls for groups of up to eight. But it seems that eight is the limit if you want to stay secure, because once you add more people to your video chat, youll be redirected to themuch less secure and private Facebook Messenger Rooms.

Thats according toWABetaInfo, which discovered that WhatsApp is working to add Messenger Rooms shortcuts that will redirect you to Messenger if you want to use a Room. The feature isnt available yet and the release date is unknown.

Facebook bought WhatsApp back in 2014, and CEO Mark Zuckerberg last year outlined howFacebook Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram would be integrated at the back end. But those plans have run into problems of late, due to thedifficulty of implementing end-to-end encryption across platforms.

End-to-end encryptionwhich means no one can access your encrypted data, including WhatsApp owner Facebookis actually pretty rare in video chat apps.Zoom has just bought a security company so it can add end-to-end encryption, while up and coming video chat platformJitsiis working onadding the feature soon.

Signalis end-to-end encrypted but does not support group chats, so the best options for now are WhatsApp and Apples FaceTime. But if your group is more than eight, I wouldnt recommend you use Facebook Messenger Roomsat least if you value security and privacy.

As well as the fact Messenger Rooms is not end-to-end encrypted, its not a very private service. Its privacy policy is the same as Facebooks so theres a lot of data youd need to give up.

However, its not all bad with Messenger Roomsat least if youre a participantbecause you dont have to have a Facebook account to use it.

Lack of end-to-end encryption means Messenger Room chats are not as private as WhatsApp calls, but this might may not be an issue to those choosing not to sign up to a Facebook account to remain more anonymous, says Jake Moore, cybersecurity specialist at ESET.

However he adds: Personally, I would still recommend only using fully end-to-end encrypted communication services for my own privacy and even as a silent protest to the tech giants to show that we care about it.

I agree. WhatsApp is a great service, but the fact its owned by Facebook is always going to be a red flag for me, especially if I then have to use Messenger Rooms for large group chats. Signal would be my first choice if its a one-to-one video call, and FaceTime otherwise if you have an Apple device.

If not,Zoom has suffered a lot of security and privacy issues, but its trying to be better. So its even an option for large video calls to socialise with your friends, if youd rather avoid Facebook Messenger Rooms.

P2P Bitcoin Trade Volumes and Inflation in Latin America Are on the Rise – Bitcoin News

During the last two months since the March 12 crypto market rout, otherwise known as Black Thursday, demand for cryptocurrencies seems to be on the rise in certain regions in Latin America. Various reports published this week have noted that countries like Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, and Mexico have seen significant bitcoin trade volumes. However, other reports show that even though the volumes are high in these specific countries, they are hard to measure due to inflation or hyperinflation.

A lot of bitcoin trade volume has been taking place in a variety of Latin American countries. Peer-to-peer marketplaces that sell cryptocurrencies are seeing strong volumes in these regions. According to Coin Dance volume statistics, Colombia, Brazil, and Chile have seen significant bitcoin trade volumes on Localbitcoins week after week. Venezuela and Argentina bitcoin trade volumes indicate new all-time highs and the trend can be seen on Paxful, Mycrypto, Local.Bitcoin.com, and other platforms as well. Because of this vast crypto trade volume in Latin America, it had prompted a number of financial news outlets to report that there is significant demand stemming from these areas. For instance, Nikkei Asian Review staff writer Naoyuki Toyama recently wrote that bitcoin shines in emerging markets plagued by falling currencies, and from Bueno Aires to Beirut, investors embrace cryptocurrency as a safe haven.

Despite the reports, a few media outlets like Decrypt, Crypto Globe, and a few others showed a different side of the story. For instance, it seems people are not taking into account that the fiat currencies in these countries are becoming less valuable every day. Yes, the volumes are at an all-time high in Argentina, but inflation is worse than it has ever been for Argentines in three decades. Well before the coronavirus, Argentinas inflation rate hit 53.8% at the end of 2019.

Venezuela is the same way, as the inflation rate for Venezuelans is massive. In February 2020 the inflation rate was 2,910%, but it did fall to 2,430% in March. However, the significantly larger inflation rate in Venezuela makes it the worst inflation rate in the world by a long shot. Despite the fact that Localbitcoins trade volumes in the country are touching an all-time high, it doesnt compare to the trade volumes in 2017 when the bolivar was worth more.

The Covid-19 pandemic has made things worse in these countries as the economies in Chile, Venezuela, Columbia, Mexico, and all the other regions with high BTC trade volumes have worsened. The troubles have gotten so bad in Venezuela, this week President Nicolas Maduro enacted a rent and wage freeze across the whole country. On many occasions, Localbitcoins data has had some discrepancies, particularly when it used to serve Iran. Not too long ago, many individuals and publications said that Iranians were paying $24,000 per BTC.

The problem with that price estimate was a common misconception about the exchange rate in Iran and how it works. At the time, people observed that one BTC was around a billion Iranian rials, but the exchange rate math is entirely different. An Iranian national named Mehran Jalali explained when these $24K per BTC headlines came out, how people can get the market rate using USD, and the Iranian rial. The going market rate for the U.S. dollar to the Iranian rial is one dollar to 136,500 rials, Jalali said this past January. Making things even more confusing, news.Bitcoin.coms Kevin Helms reported on how Iranian lawmakers recently discussed slashing four zeros from the rial. Localbitcoins, however, banned Iranian traders from swapping digital currencies on the platform and residents now have to leverage other options.

Its hard to measure how much demand is stemming from any country based on Localbitcoins volumes alone. Especially when there are huge discrepancies and massive inflation ruining these fiat currencies from various Latin American countries. The same could be said for the U.S. dollar someday, and economists have predicted the end of the USD after the petro-dollar collapse. Analysts forecast that BTC could reach 1 million dollars, at some point in time, and it very well could happen in the midst of hyperinflation in the U.S. if it was to occur. A number of economists think that the demise of USD very well could happen especially amid the Federal Reserve creating trillions of dollars out of thin air. So if you think about it logically and envision BTC touching a million USD per coin Would it be very meaningful if the USD was near worthless?
