Cyber Threats report :Emerging threats for…all data-driven![cyber warfare]

Emerging threats for…all data-driven! Cyber Warfare Security experts consulted by GTISC believe cyber warfare will accompany conventional military interaction more often inside the many years ahead. They expect it's going to also play a much more shadowy role in attempts by antagonist nations to subvert the U.S. economy and infrastructure. Consider the cyber attacks that occurred between Russia and Georgia earlier this year like a type for military cyber engagements in 2009 and beyond.  Don Jackson, director of threat intelligence for SecureWorks, compiled the right after research to implicate direct Russian government involvement in cyber attacks against Georgia: Physical and cyber...

Cyber Threats report 2009:Emerging threats for…all data-driven!(2)

Emerging threats for…all data-driven! BOTNETS Most botnet command and manage websites is also traced back to China2. But Lee cautions that this statistic could be misinterpreted since "a good deal of Chinese are usingpirated software program which doesn’t receive security updates.” According to Lee, “That techniques numerous Chinese computers are rife with vulnerabilities, doing them a haven for botnet command and manage sites.” Botnets en masse are considered a bot army and these malicious computing forces could be applied to conduct cyber warfare within the future. In addition, bot payloads are becoming increasingly complex to avoid evolving security measures. According to Lee’s research...

Cyber Threats report 2009:Emerging threats for…all data-driven!

Emerging threats for…all data-driven! BOTNETS In 2008, botnets have turn into worse—a trend expected to continue following year. GTISC estimated in last year’s report that 10 percent of on-line computers have been component of botnets,groups of computers infected with malicious code and unknowingly controlled by a malicious master. This year, GTISC researchers estimate that botnet-affected machines may comprise 15 percent of on-line computers. “Compared with viruses and spam, botnets are growing at a faster rate,” mentioned Wenke Lee, an associate professor at GTISC along with a leading botnet researcher. Lee cites three unavoidable factors which are spurring botnet growth: • Infection can occur even through legitimate Web sites •...

Emerging threats for…all data-driven!:Malware

Emerging threats for…all data-driven!Data will continue to become the principal motive behind future cyber crime—whether targeting conventional fixed computing or cellular applications. According to security expert George Heron, “It’s all within the data,”whether botnets, malware, blended threats, cellular threats or cyber warfare attacks. And Heron expects datato drive cyber attacks for many years to come. The details motive is woven through all 5 emerging threat categories,beginning with malware-                                                                     ...

Prevalence of tobacco consumption:Rates

RatesFrom the table b of WHO Report on the Global Tobacco Epidemic the following is taken. From the initial survey the data is adjusted making it comparable between countries. Because of this, however, it is not for inferring the prevalence within those countries (table a provides for this).It contains 135 "Countries with recent internationally comparable adjusted data", 18 "Countries with national data that are neither recent nor comparable internationally", and 41 "Countries with no data". The data represents smoking any tobacco product at the time of the survey including daily and non-daily smoking; the error is with a 95% confidence interval  CountryMale [%]Error [+/-%]Female [%]Error [+/-%]  Afghanistanno...
