U.S. Suspects Contaminated Foreign-Made Components Threaten Cyber Security - ABC News

Some foreign-made computer components are being manufactured to make it easier to launch cyber attacks on U.S. companies and consumers, a security official at the the Department of Homeland Security said.

"I am aware of instances where that has happened," said Greg Schaffer, who is the Acting Deputy Undersecretary National Protection and Programs Director at the DHS.

Schaffer did not say where specifically these components are coming from or elaborate on how they could be manufactured in such a way as to facilitate a cyber attack.

But Schaffer's comment confirms that the U.S. government believes some electronics manufacturers have included parts in products that could make U.S. consumers and corporations more vulnerable to targeted cyber attacks.

A device tampered with prior to distribution or sale could act as a "Trojan horse" in the opening wave of an international cyberwar. Contaminated products could be used to jeopardize the entire network.

The admission by Schaffer came out Thursday after repeated questioning from Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, at a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on cyber threats.

ABC News previously reported that the FBI was investigating a case in which counterfeit Cisco routers were being sold to various government agencies but this is the first time that a government official has confirmed that the threat is real.

Such attacks are difficult to detect and many go unnoticed. Cyber tactics have changed and many hackers just want to steal information without incident. Cyber thieves are going after personal information such as credit card numbers or target corporations and trade secrets.

Many in Congress have pointed to foreign governments as the source of many recent cyber attacks, although the administration has yet to call out any one nation.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., in April called on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to condemn cyber attacks launched by Chinese attackers against the American social action website Change.org.

Foreign-made components, often manufactured in Asia, play a key role in consumer electronic devices -- everything from Internet routers to home computers -- that make up the national digital infrastructure. DHS is charged with identifying and defending that infrastructure, but lacks legal authority to intervene in private companies.

While the threat of a contaminated supply chain is real, it is not exclusively directed at the United States, according to Jim Lewis, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

"The threat of a contaminated supply chain is a risk, but it's a risk that everybody has, because it's a global supply chain," he said.

Part of that challenge facing DHS includes a plan to form partnerships with the private sector, because most of the nation's cyber infrastructure is controlled by private companies.

DHS has begun classifying key infrastructure and is reaching out to private Internet companies.

But Republicans in particular have expressed concerns with the president's proposed cyber legislation, calling the new rules too burdensome on the private sector.

"The president's plan gives the Department of Homeland Security unfettered authority to regulate private industry," Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., who spoke at an earlier hearing at the House Judiciary Committee.

Amazon Dumps Wikileaks From Its Servers, US Gov't Tightens Security - DailyTech


Wikileaks accuses Amazon of violating free speech

As reported earlier this week, following its leak of 250,000 classified U.S. State Department diplomatic cables, Wikileaks was targeted by a distributed denial of service attack.  The site, which had been hosted primarily on Swedish hosting service Bahnhof, went down for a while on Sunday following the leak.

By Monday it was back up again.  According to details newly released from the site, its restoration came as it switched to Amazon's EC2 cloud computing platform, a service that allows users to rent as many virtual servers as they want.

Wikileaks Gets Dumped

The bad news for Wikileaks is that Amazon apparently dumped it sometime yesterday.

Wikileaks posted on Twitter:

WikiLeaks servers at Amazon ousted. Free speech the land of the free--fine our $ are now spent to employ people in Europe.

And then...

If Amazon are so uncomfortable with the first amendment, they should get out of the business of selling books.

The quote represents a fundamental misunderstanding of the first amendment, which is perhaps understandable given that the Wikileaks folks by and large aren't from the U.S.  The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects the government from infringing on your free speech, but it's perfectly legal in the U.S. for businesses to kick you out and deny you access to their property if they don't like what your saying.

According to The Seattle Times, Amazon was contacted by a Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee official who pressured the company to dump the site.  Much as it might have agreed to ditch an Al Qaeda site, Amazon agreed to dump Wikileaks, a site whose primary focus over the last several years has been against the U.S. government.

Moved back to Bahnhof, Wikileaks appears to be up and responsive at the present.

Government Beefs up Security

U.S. President Barack Obama has set up a special panel to assess the fallout of the leaked cables and determine steps to secure confidential government data better in the future.  The embarrassing deluge of private diplomatic observations of the government has convinced many that some sort of shake up is necessary.

The relative insecurity of classified government data is largely a result of post-9/11 efforts to share more information between various intelligence and defense agencies.  That effort resulted in low level military analysts having access to a wealth of confidential information.  One such analyst, a disgruntled soldier name Bradley Manning, was responsible for the recent leaks to Wikileaks, a move he made after he was demoted.

One problem, though, is that officials can't seem to agree on how to enhance security.  The National Counterintelligence Executive, part of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the most senior U.S. intelligence official was going to set up teams of inspectors to assess each agency's security policies.  However, the U.S. military apparently complained, fearful of interference from intelligence agents.  As a result the idea has been scrapped.

What is clear is that the U.S. government needs to do something to secure its information from malicious governments like China or organizations like Wikileaks.  What is less clear is how that should be accomplished exactly.

Internet pirates are facing a big heap of new trouble with the U.S. government cracking down more than ever before.

Over the past week, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement unit of the Department of Homeland Security seized more than 70 websites in a new crackdown on internet piracy. Visitors that once found links to illegal downloads or goods on these sites are now greeted by a seriously badass set of U.S. government emblems and a warning instead.

Some of the websites allowed users to search through and find torrents, files that are opened with a special program to connect to the download of a specific digital product. Torrents can be used for both good and evil, but are a common download method used for piracy of music, videogames, and movies. Other websites provided access to counterfeit physical goods like watches and sports merchandise.

Instead of finding a link to download the latest Harry Potter film or Jonas Brothers album on these sites, users now only find a message that states: "This domain name has been seized by ICE - Homeland Security Investigations." Above the message are the emblems of the Department of Justice, U.S. Homeland Security Investigations, and the National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center. The NIPRCC actually has the most badass emblem of all, featuring a mean looking eagle soaring towards the viewer, grasping a banner in its talons that says: "Protection is our trademark, scumbag." I added the "scumbag" part, only because it fits so well.

ICE released a written statement that said the website domains were taken because of "court-ordered seizure warrants." ICE also said: "As this is an ongoing investigation, there are no additional details available at this time," and that these domain owners better "check themselves, before they wreck themselves." Okay, it didn't say that last part either, but it really should have.

The seizures occur as the U.S. government is in the process of passing the somewhat controversial Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act, which was approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee in mid-November. COICA, if passed, would allow the government to suspend a website's domain if it was "dedicated to infringing activities," and some are saying it's in conflict with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The DMCA allows infringing websites to be absolved from responsibility if they remove infringing content when notified. COICA would also create a blacklist of foreign websites that U.S. ISPs would be required to block, negating the effect of piracy websites located outside of the U.S.

The Senate will vote on COICA in an upcoming session. It, and these recent seizures, seem to indicate that the internet piracy scene will face new challenges in the decade ahead.

Software & ServicesOffice HardwareSecurityServers & StorageCell Phones & MobileOperating SystemsNetworking & VOIPVirtualizationSoftware / Services Security Update 2010-007 Patches Mac OS X 10.5 More… Facebook Twitter Digg Print By Dan Moren, Macworld

Apple on Wednesday released Security Update 2010-007, bringing the same security patches included in the recent Mac OS X 10.6.5 release to Macs running 10.5 Leopard client or server versions.

Among the more prominent fixes included in the update is a fix for a bug in Apple Type Services which could allow the downloading of a maliciously crafted font file to lead to arbitrary code execution. That bug, originally caught by security firm Core Security, was similar to a vulnerability in Apple's iOS that allowed hackers to jailbreak devices running that software. Apple patched the flaw in an iOS update

In addition to fixing the font bug, 2010-007 brings an updated version of Adobe's Flash Player plug-in--numbered 10.1.102.64--which patches a number of security vulnerabilities, some of which could lead to arbitrary code execution. Patches are also included for a number of holes in QuickTime, Time Machine, Safari RSS, Quick Look, and several of OS X's other underlying systems.

The Leopard client version of Security Update 2010-007 weighs in at 240.74MB while the server version is 448.10MB. If you're running an eligible system, the relevant update should appear in Software Update--otherwise you can download them from Apple's support download Website at the links above.
