According to court documents, Robert Cimino, 59, of Syracuse, N.Y., advertised the sale of discounted popular software programs on a number of Internet advertising forums, operating under the business name "SoftwareSuite."

Customers would contact Cimino by email and would usually buy the products using PayPal. Cimino would mail them pirated copies of Adobe, Autodesk, Intuit and Quark programs he had burned to CD or DVD to the customers. Cimino admitted that from February 2006 to September 2009, he received at least $270,035 from his sales of infringing software products.

Cimino is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Anthony J. Trenga on May 28, 2010. Cimino faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison, three years of supervised release, a $250,000 fine, restitution and forfeiture.

OIX is a nonprofit entity meant to make exchanging online identity credentials a more secure process. It's gotten off to a good start, too, having already been approved as a trust framework provider by the U.S. government.

This means that OIX solutions should at some point allow American citizens to access all sorts of vital information on the Web. Drummond Reed, Acting Executive Director of OIX, explained in a statement, "As we roll out progressively stronger levels of certification, this will empower U.S. citizens to access and manage their tax records, Social Security records, veteran's benefits, and many other government services online."

Also, "OIX is currently working on development of trust frameworks for public media, telecommunications, library services . . . and professional associations."

You may not have to wait long to see these possibilities brought to (figurative) life. In addition to being backed by so many important partners, OIX has received grants from the OpenID Foundation and Information Card Foundation, meaning it's probably in good financial shape.

]]> Online identity theft might become less of a problem in the future thanks to the efforts of Google, PayPal, Equifax, VeriSign, Verizon, CA, and Booz Allen Hamilton. Today, these organizations announced the formation of the Open Identity Exchange (OIX).

M86 Security Finds URL Filters, Anti-Virus Scanners Ineffective
M86 Security Finds URL Filters, Anti-Virus Scanners Ineffective

M86 Security's new report, "Closing the Vulnerability Window in Today's Web Environment," indicates that anti-virus scanning correctly identifies just 39 percent of Web threats, which isn't exactly impressive. But the practice of URL filtering fares even worse, detecting just 3 percent of threats.

Assuming these figures are accurate, something obviously needs to be done, and it seems that adding a third layer of security may be the trick.

Bradley Anstis, the vice president technical strategy at M86 Security, explained in a statement, "To counter the specific cases that we analyzed in this report, and to ensure maximum efficiency, we believe a three-pronged approach of combining URL filtering, anti-virus scanning and real-time code analysis should be best practice."

This practice achieved a 100 percent success rate in M86 Security's testing. Although people should of course exhibit caution online no matter how well-protected their computers seem to be.

]]> New data from M86 Security corroborates the widely held idea that anti-virus scanners and URL filters won’t save careless Web users. Indeed, the security company estimates that more than half of all threats can evade these two means of detection, leaving people at risk from lots of nasty stuff.

The Director said U.S. intelligence indicates the threat of cyber terror is "real and rapidly expanding," including the rise of extremist websites to recruit, radicalize, and incite violence.

Terrorists have yet to launch a full-scale cyber strike, but have "executed numerous denial-of-service attacks" and even defaced the website of the U.S. Congress following President Obama's recent State of the Union address. The Director told the crowd of cyber professionals that al Qaeda and other extremists "have shown a clear interest in pursuing hacking skills."

According to the Director, the FBI's cyber capabilities and partnerships include:

*Cyber squads in each field office nationwide, with over 1,000 specially trained agents, analysts, and digital forensic examiners who run complex undercover operations, share intelligence with law enforcement and intelligence partners, and provide training to counterparts around the world;

*More than 60 overseas offices-called legal attachs-that share information and coordinate joint investigations with their host countries;

*Agents embedded with police forces in Romania, Estonia, the Netherlands, and other countries; and

*Mobile Cyber Action Teams-highly-trained groups of agents, analysts, and experts in both computer forensics and malicious code who travel the world to respond to fast-moving cyber threats.

The Director stressed the relationship with the private sector is vital in reporting breaches of cyber security. "No one country, company, or agency can stop cyber crime," he said.

"A 'bar the windows and bolt the doors' mentality will not ensure our collective safety. We must start at the source; we must find those responsible."

]]> FBI Director Robert Mueller spoke about cyber threats along with how the U.S. is working with partners around the world to tackle them, during a keynote address at the annual RSA computer security conference in San Francisco on Thursday.

The Director said U.S. intelligence indicates the threat of cyber terror is “real and rapidly expanding,” including the rise of extremist websites to recruit, radicalize, and incite violence.

Jail Sentences Not Certain For Mariposa Botnet Authors
Jail Sentences Not Certain For Mariposa Botnet Authors

According to Brian Krebs, Captain Cesar Lorenzana, who works for the Spanish Civil Guard, explained that prison sentences typically aren't associated with deeds committed from behind a keyboard. Plus, some things simply aren't against the law.

"In Spain, it is not a crime to own and operate a botnet or distribute malware," he said. "So even if we manage to prove they are using a botnet, we will need to prove they also were stealing identities and other things, and that is where our lines of investigation are focusing right now."

Furthermore, Krebs wrote, "[T]he men are all free on their own recognizance. . . . [T]hey are free to hoover up as much stolen data as they please, as the Mariposa working group has not yet been able to shutter the Web sites that served as the repository for personal and financial data stolen from people whose systems were ensnared by the bot."

The good news is that Spain is trying to modernize its laws, so even if the Mariposa's authors get off this time, they (and/or other cybercriminals) shouldn't be in the clear forever.

]]> Although the three men believed to be behind the Mariposa botnet were recently identified and arrested by Spanish authorities, it looks like they may avoid serving any jail time for their online trespasses. Spain’s cybercrime laws are quite weak at the moment.

People who don't approve of file-sharing can view this as a sort of community health issue, perhaps similar to the way homeless individuals are given clean needles free of charge. Having less malware out there should benefit everybody in the end, since viruses don't just attack folks who break the law.

As for what, exactly, the new deal involves, a formal statement explained, "LimeWire LLC has licensed the AVG Anti-Virus SDK engine and has integrated the anti-virus/ anti-spyware protection into LimeWire Pro, its premium file sharing software. Through this partnership, all files will be scanned before LimeWire Pro will allow them to play or execute on an end user's computer, which prevents infected files from harming machines."

Jason Herskowitz, Limewire's vice president of product management, then said, "LimeWire is committed to providing peer-to-peer's best user experience and we are vigilant about user security. We are always looking for ways to improve, and with AVG's seamless integration into LimeWire, we will be providing users with peer-to-peer's most secure technology."

The LimeWire-AVG integration should be in effect now, and it doesn't appear that LimeWire will raise the price of its Pro service ($34.95 per year) as a result.

With any luck, this development will have a noticeable and immediate effect. LimeWire Pro users are likely to be trading lots more files than the average person, after all, so it may not take long for the benefits to become obvious.

The one problem might be if LimeWire Pro users - who are presumably somewhat tech-savvy - already have good security software in place, and it's regular LimeWire users who represent the real security risk.

]]> Given that file-sharing does indeed involve the sharing of files, it can be a dangerous practice, resulting in the spread of malware. Security experts should be pleased to hear, then, that LimeWire has teamed up with AVG to give its “Pro”-level users an additional layer of protection.

The AVG research study is based on the analysis of threats reported during the last 6 months from AVG's 110 million global users of its LinkScanner security product. The research indicates an increase in malware serving websites targeting end users, which usually focus on stealing online baking information, credit card information, personal identities and passwords to social sites.

After the United States countries hosting the most malicious websites include Germany and China at just five percent each. Many of these malware-serving websites are legitimate sites compromised by hackers to serve exploits on their behalf. In total, exploitive servers were found in nearly 4,600 locations throughout the U.S.

AVG says it is important to note the research makes no statement about who owns or is directing the servers and the criminal networks are located all over the world.

"The results of this study shatter the myth that malicious code is primarily hosted in countries where e-crime laws are less developed," said Karel Obluk, Chief Technology Officer, AVG Technologies. "Our research shows that malicious content is much more likely to show up on web servers in the U.S. than one in Asia or Eastern Europe. This makes perfect sense since the USA is a primary target market for the criminals and has rich and mature Internet infrastructure making the threats both highly accessible and cheap to host."

"What is most striking is the clear rise in the number of malicious servers in the last six months. Today's hacking techniques are highly evasive so the average user cannot tell if a website is serving malware or not. A web security product is needed."

]]> More than 40 percent of the world’s malicious websites are hosted in the United States, according to a new research study from AVG Technologies.
