Holes in FBI cyber security !!

May 01, 2011
About a third of the FBI agents working on cyber investigations lack the networking and counterintelligence expertise to investigate national security intrusions, the Justice Department's inspector general concluded in a new report. The report said the FBI's practice of rotating agents among different offices to promote a variety of work experiences hinders the ability to investigate national security cyber intrusions. The inspector general's audit, based on interviews of 36 agents in 10 offices, emphasized the need for a strong cyber security work force in federal government "is more urgent than ever," said Sen. Susan Collins, the top Republican on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The FBI has a comprehensive instructional plan in place that includes 12 core courses an agent must take along with on-the-job training. According to the inspector general's report, many agents said training was helpful but that they did not have the time to take the req...

Department of Homeland Security Out to Get PSN Hackers ! The external intrusion into the PlayStation Network has led to undoubtedly the worst fiasco in the PlayStation universe since the ApocalyPS3 of 2010. If the readers are like us, then we're all not only sick of the PSN being down but are also sick of all the news surrounding it with little to no positive light at the end of the tunnel. Finally, there finally appears to be some progress in the making thanks to the unveiling of some assuring details. Despite the word that SCEA is working around the clock with third-party security organizations to bring the network back up for our online gaming pleasure, users were not told what team was conducting the investigations, how large the said company was, and to what extent their resources were spanning out to. However, in a surprising turn of events, the United States Department of Homeland Security revealed that the federal division is lending their hand in assessing the damages o...

ICANN Hires Def Con Founder Jeff Moss as Security Chief !

Apr 30, 2011
ICANN Hires Def Con Founder Jeff Moss as Security Chief ! Jeff Moss, the hacker better known as " The Dark Tangent ," has been named Vice President and Chief Security Officer of ICANN, the non-profit corporation that manages the Internet's names and numbering infrastructure. He is the founder of DEF CON, the world's largest conference for hackers, as well as the Black Hat security conference. A phone phreaker in his youth, Moss has recently worked as a white hat hacker, working to secure networks from attack. "He has the in-depth insider's knowledge that can only come from fighting in the trenches of the on-going war against cyber threats," said ICANN president Rod Beckstrom in a statement. Moss is well known for having created the game "Spot the Fed" in which a hacker who thinks he's identified an undercover federal agent in the crowd at DEF CON can point him out, make his case, and if the crowd agrees, take home a coveted "I Spotted The Fed at DEF CON" t-shirt.
