DarkCyber for July 17, 2018, Now Available

The DarkCyber video news program about the Dark Web and lesser known Internet services is now available. The video can be viewed at http://www.arnoldit.com/wordpress or on Vimeo at https://vimeo.com/280058665.

This week’s program covers four stories.
 
The first story reviews the enhanced capabilities of Webhose.io’s Dark Web and Surface Web monitoring service. Tor Version 3 is supported. The content collection system can now access content on Dark Web and i2p services. Plus, Webhose’s system now scans compressed attachments and can access obfuscated sites with Captcha and user name and password requirements.
 
The second story reports that NSO, an Israeli intelligence services firm, suffered an insider breach. NSO’s Pegasus platform can extract email, text messages, SIM card and cell network information, GPS location data, keychain passwords, including Wi-Fi and router, and voice and image data. The NSO Pegasus system was advertised on the Dark Web. The insider was identified and arrested. Stephen E Arnold, author of CyberOSINT and the Dark Web Notebook said: “Insider threats are a significant security threat. Most organizations assume that their employees will not release or compromise an organization’s confidential information. However, as the NSO Pegasus matter makes clear, greed and desire are often more powerful forces than assumed employee loyalty. Monitoring of employees appears to be an essential task in today’s environment.”
 
The third story takes a look at Dark Web money laundering services. Mixers, tumblers, and flip concepts are explained. These services are becoming more popular and are coming under closer scrutiny by law enforcement.
 
The fourth story explains Diffeo’s approach to next generation information access. Diffeo was one of the technology vendors for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s Memex Dark Web indexing program. The commercial version of Diffeo’s analytic tool is in use at major financial institutions and the US Department of Defense.
