Donald,
I don’t think that our phones and personal devices will be the biggest threats in the future. There have all our personal information such as photos, locations, and our contacts. I do believe that so many non trusted applications can be the main source to attack those devices. The problem is they can’t provide a patching and they are not tested by Apple or Samsung.

Hi Neil,
I agree with what you said that Pandemics such as Flu and smallpox are definitely a threat, but a big threat that organizations need to concerned of. In fact, Small Pox and Flu rarely happen. I was reading the article and it says that Flu percentage in the United States has dropped drastically. All that organizations need is to have…[Read more] -

Donald,
This new Ursnif will be another breach that will be added to previous ones. These banks really need to work harder and improve themselves to be able to protect us and our sensitive information. I am so disappointed about the small efforts these banks do. I feel we are not protected anymore and actions need to be executed such as investing in IT security departments.

Fraser,
Your article is quite interesting and upon reading I was actually shocked to see such threats possible. You are right when you say that Information should not be disclosed publicly, but practically it is impossible for high profile people to not disclose or hide everything. The Image correction of QR code hacking is pretty shocking…[Read more] -

-
Well there are already certification tests that ethical hackers can take to become licensed but what Singapore is doing I think is valid except about the jail time and fines. They should have a registry and keep track who is licensed and who’s not but I do like this idea.
-
Hi Donald:
Great post. I think the Singapore government is tend to track those who have the hacking skills and limit their ability. However, I really don’t think getting certification for people will stop they hacking other government systems.
-
I wont take any license. If any country wants hacker to take license, maybe its time to show what animal means. it will push some people exposure themselves. If i am a citizen of Singapore and i have a very skillful hacker, i will burn the whole country up..
-
Donald,
Interesting post that talks about something completely new which is making Ethical Hackers in Singapore licensed if they have the right requirements such as academic education. I think, it is a good step to regulate this field and have an idea about what these ethical Hackers do. As a response to Neil’s comment, I believe that Singaporean’s government is trying to protect this field and make it hard for Hackers to do someone that may harm people in the country, this is why the jail time and fines can be very good for those who want to do something illegal.

Donald.
I do believe that these companies that manufacture Medical Devices should work on the security part in parallel with developing new once to help people lives. I am saying this for the following reasons:– Security has to be guaranteed when you integrate software to these devices, especially that most of them are connected tirelessly and can be easily reached.
-These devises can put so many people lives under risk especially some of them controls some important organs such as Cardiac Devices that manage the heart beats of the heart.

Jonathan – Your article is an eye opener to the true definition of Ethical Hacking itself.

I think that is not a bad idea after all because as long as people have the right tools and techniques that prevent them from such external…[Read more]
