Dark Net Crime In Increase: Interview With Austrian Chief Inspector

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, government

There have been numerous dark net-related prosecutions in Europe in the past few months. The first country to wage a war against dark web criminals was Germany, where the government decided to provide more manpower to eliminate all kinds of illegal dark net activity. The Germans started focusing on the dark web shortly after the Münich shooting, which happened on July 22, 2016. Investigators discovered that the gunman acquired his weapon through a vendor on a dark net marketplace, who had been busted after the tragic incident.

By seeing the number of prosecutions, Austria is following the German example. A national news outlet, tips.at, conducted an interview with Chief Inspector Erwin Eilmannsberger, a police officer from Schärding, about the increasing dark net crime in his district.

Quantum Computing And Cybersecurity

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, quantum physics

So true; as many of us have stated that the infrastructure for QC is a must 1st. A good video to review; as many of the themes are often repeated in many commentaries as well as this video provides some additional insights on QC.

Cryptographers Dismiss AI, Quantum Computing Threats

Cybercrime & Cybersecurity 0 20

There is a reason why they’re not in the private sector developing QC. Noticed all represented no one developing and delivering QC commercially. There is a reason why folks like this become nay sayers as it is hard when you’re not able to deliver and not hireable by the private sector to deliver QC. With such a huge demand for QC experts and in security; you have to wonder why these folks have not been employed in a QC Tech company especially when you see tech grabbing every professor they can to develop QC and especially cyber security. Also, I still never saw any bases or details scientifically for their argument why specifically where and how QC will not block hacking just a bunch of professors throwing out words and high level speculations.


SAN FRANCISCO—Cryptographers said at the RSA Conference Tuesday they’re skeptical that advances in quantum computing and artificial intelligence will profoundly transform computer security.

RSA Conference Cryptographers Panel: We’re Doing Everything Wrong

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, internet

Wonder if they are already aware we’re already redoing the WWW with new QC technology? We already have the strategy and have engaged teams already from various countries. Hmmm.


[p]RSA Conference cryptographers panel laments current internet security, as both the internet and many of the security measures to secure it are broken.[/p].

Theatrical Trailer for Ghost in the Shell.

Cyborg counter-cyberterrorist field commander The Major (Scarlett Johansson) and her task force Section 9 thwart cyber criminals and hackers. Now, they must face a new enemy who will stop at nothing to sabotage Hanka Robotics’ artificial intelligence technology.

Clues to protect quantum computing networks from hack attacks uncovered

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, quantum physics

https://youtube.com/watch?v=k1pHnKvuX54

I truly don’t mean to be so blunt about this article and the researchers involved. 1st of all this is a bogus report trying to make a team and their work get noticed. 2nd, anyone who sets up their QC this sloppy as this team did to prove hacking I would hope would never be hired into my organization as an admin or security officer.

The reality is that real QC environments in the real world with a qualified CSO/ CISO would never leave so many back doors open in reality.

Canadian researchers claim Chinese quantum network might not be hack proof after all

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, quantum physics

1st before ever passing an opinion of a hypothesis or lab controlled concept; we need to see it proven against the China’s Network and then try it on Los Alamos Quantum Network. My guess, not going to be successful as it is Ottawa’s version & not everyone else’s so comes to question did they even design their test network correctly as China and Los Alamos both are showing that their versions are not hack proof. BTW — China is in phase 2 of their Quantum network; as previous tests were successful; and Los Alamos has been online since 2009 without any reported hacks.

Until, they prove successful against China’s network and Los Alamos; just another hyped up story without proof.


University of Ottawa physicists say they’ve found a way to partially replicate data from supposedly completely secure system.

Quantum Encryption Just Took One More Step Toward Beating Hackers

Posted by in categories: cybercrime/malcode, encryption, quantum physics

Nice read on QC cryptography.


Between Russian hackers and insecure email servers, this past election has proved that cyber security is going to be extremely important moving forward. But with the advent of quantum computers, it’s only going to become harder to keep data safe from those with the motive and the right tools. Fortunately, scientists believe they may have found a solution within the same principles that guide quantum computing: quantum encryption.

To fully understand the scope of what quantum computers can do, it’s important to realize that it might take current, non-quantum computers longer than the total age of the universe to crack certain encryptions. But, as grad student Chris Pugh explained in a recent interview with Wired, quantum computers might be able to crack the same codes in “a matter of hours or days”.
