  • The Securoity Box, podcast 19: its all about the credit card: part 1
    We're going to continue the credit card talk next week, but this should get you started.
    Welcome to podcast 19 of the security box.
    This week, let's talk about credit cards, PCIDSS, and more.
    • PCI DSS Compliance Guide: UK Costs & Checklist
    • PCI DSS requirements for building and maintaining a secure network and systems
    • The PCI SECURITY web site
    • Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard
      • We're putting the Wikipedia link in for reference. Please do not rely on it alone, as the page talks about a lot of unsourced material. We also posted two of those sources as I liked them, and we'll use one of them to talk about what PCIDSS is, and what is required.
      News Notes
      • Thinking about getting an Android phone? Think that its security is better than IOS and what it may have to offer? Thats your choice, and we're not going to change your mind. According to an article from the Register, maybe you should think about this again. According to the article, Google is being sued because it is taking a couple hundred MB from you on your cellular data even if the phone is sitting there quietly not being touched. Why? Because Google is preparing potential ads that might be of interest to you after it collects data in the background. The article goes on to say that Google people agree to multiple terms of service, none of which talks about the passive collection of data that has nothing to do with your use. New lawsuit: Why do Android phones mysteriously exchange 260MB a month with Google via cellular data when they're not even in use? is the article, think about this when you decide which operating system you want.
      • This Week in Security News: Ransomware Gang is Raking in Tens of Millions of Dollars and Microsoft Patch Tuesday Update Fixes 17 Critical Bugs has a bunch of items in it, and we'll let you decide what you want to talk about.
        • Other news
        Looks like we've finally gotten something that might work. After some time, I am now back on MyTelespace, where they have a call in number for callers who do not have the other technology to use. That number is 720-787-1080 and my box number is 8347 over there. Just another option for people to use. Thanks so much for listening, and make it a great day.

      • The Security box, podcast 18: election stuff, updates on podcast 6, and more
        The show notes are quite lengthy, so not everything is going to be listed here, but please check the blog under podcasts for the complete notes.
        Things to ponder
        Disclaimer: The following are going to be things to ponder. Some things could be posted as a blog post, others are just thoughts based on one topic or another and may not be linked to anything. The opinions expressed are those of the presenter, and may not necessarily be those of the JRN, its staff, providers of software and services, or the like.
        • I got the best email ever. What was so interesting about it was the domain. Normally, I don't comment on Spam, but Just saw the best email ever … in my inbox … domain is relatively new is the blog post. You'll see the domain, as well as my thoughts. I talk about this one.
        • Amazon put a little bit of a scare in me by sending me an OTP when I did not even request one. I did some quick investigating and found I was not compromised, but turn on two factor (2sv) on Saturday, the 7th. I checked my transactions, card history, and other log in activity and didn't find anything suspicious.
        • On podcast 6 of the Security Box, it was discussed that Michael in Tennessee had a security concern about his apartment WIFI setup. He isn't wrong, as on September 7th, he called in to Twit' The Tech Guy and asked Leo. On this podcast, we'll play said segment and play Michael's things to ponder segment as we give an update on the worst security ever. If you want to listen to podcast 6 from August 19, 2020 here's the link to use (162162.33mb) for your enjoyment. Also read the text from tech guy labs, the tech guy: episode 1743.
          • That is only some of what is up, the blog will have more.

        • The Security Box, podcast 17: Catch up, Trend Micro and more
          Welcome to podcast 17 of the technology series known as the security box.
          Catch up
          • Michael in Tennessee makes an appearance as he was not able to make it last week. We talk about encryption, the lack there of from the government, and companies in general in the security landscape.We are not pointing our fingers at any one company, but mainly an open discussion.
            • Topics:
            • A subset of apps were targeted in an article that indicates that 76 percent of them have at least one vulnerability or bug. The goal is not to write perfect software, but software that can be fixed within a reasonable time frame. Different types of terms are used within this article, none of which I'm too familiar with, but the article I found quite interesting. It came from the folks at help net security. 76% of applications have at least one security flaw is the article, let us discuss.
            • Trend Micro has a program for free called House Call which is accessible. This was actually talked about this past Thursday with Andy and Josh. In the article Trend Micro HouseCall for Home Networks Trend Micro talks about what they've done with the program and how it can benefit you.
            • URL tracking systems like add words and add cents by Google can be abused just like the URL shorteners before it. How URL Tracking Systems are Abused for Phishing comes from Phishlabs, and its well worth the read. This should probably be talked about, because sites use these services including blindness related sites. Do you think it is time to move away from the services in the name of security?
              • News Notes and more
              • In some good news, we've definitely got some. Two Charged in SIM Swapping, Vishing Scams is the article penned by Mr. Krebs. Maybe this is a start to something, only time will tell what happens.
                • There may be more news that I didn't cover here or on the podcast of the box, let me know what you want covered.
                Books
                Due to space limitations, the books section of the show notes can't be reproduced here. The Tech blog will have the entire notations including the books for you to peruse. Thanks so much for listening and contributing!

              • The Security box, podcast 16: catch up work, domains, and more
                We've got shorten short notes although detailed. Here goes.
                Welcome to broadcast 16 of the Security Box.
                Time to catch up:
                Jennifer, the staple it seems to this program, comes in with 8 different commentary pieces we'll step through in regards to last week's significant program on privacy, personal information online and the like. We'll see how this segment goes when it comes to whether there needs to be anything else said, or whether it'll speak for itself.
                Topics:
                • What do you think when it comes to your web host and what they offer? Some web hosts are Windows based, some are linux based, some may have both, and some ... well ... may just not care what they host no matter what the platform. In an article entitled Planetary Reef: Cybercriminal Hosting and Phishing-as-a-Service Threat Actor which comes from Phish Labs, we'll talk about a company that seems to be under multiple names, yet surves up all kinds of things that most web hosts would not tolerate. The group behind Planetary Reef leases IP space from a large reseller. I'm considered a reseller, selling space given to me, but a large reseller may be under a company that they buy their space from each month and they sell it to others. Let's talk about this as there is a history behind the web space market throughout the years.
                • In a related topic I covered and didn't originally cover under the rundown, we talk about this Krebs on Security article QAnon/8Chan Sites Briefly Knocked Offline and tie this and the first article together.
                • Has the Department of Justice not learned anything about why we need security today? I guess they really haven't because a Cyberscoop article entitled DOJ efforts to weaken encryption place national security at risk, congressman says was written by Shannon Vavra and it is quite well written. Rep. Ro Khanna has one message for politicians who continue to suggest technology companies should give law enforcement agencies access to encrypted data:
                  • This is a power grab.
                  The U.S. Department of Justice has long called for technology firms to create software that would allow law enforcement agencies to investigate suspects
                  who use encryption to hide illegal behavior. For Khanna, a California Democrat, the tradeoff is too dangerous Most in government do not understand this, and its time that someone really hit the hammer home with this nonsense and lets put it to bed once and for all.
                  News, notes, and more
                  For a complete news notes overview, watch this space on the blog. I may have posted more than what is covered here, and what I do cover is only a few items from the subset of things I thought would be of interest. We're not going to link to everything, but maybe something else caught your attention that I did not cover. Let us see what you think of the news covered in the program, and of course, the comment boards await you.
                  Things to ponder
                  I honestly didn't see this coming. Now, … for a random breach … a psychotherapy center is something I bring up in news notes, but yet it is a serious thing. In things to ponder, I'll give my thoughts on this one. Its beyond repair.

                • The Security box, podcast 15: all about the privacy
                  This is episode 15, the show notes follow.
                  Welcome to the Security box, podcast 15. It was mainly an open forum of privacy talk today.
                  • Armando, a broadcaster here on the mix, was on talking about his experience with Covid and other privacy concerns he had in regards to that. We also got in to a twitter discussion with names we've seen. No mention of exact names are mentioned here but we do talk about this. The Melting Pot, October 9, 2020 and Armando's Testimony can be listened to. These files will eventually expire, so get them while you can. Within the Internet Radio program, go in 86 minutes to hear the discussion.
                  • In hour 2, I start and it continues in to hours 3-4 where we talk about privacy, the Internet, finding information, and other aspects of the discussion as Michael in Tennessee and Indiana both join me for hours 3-4 as part of this discussion.
                    • This week's show lasts about 4 hours, and I hope you enjoy!
                    3 hr 57 min
                  • The Technology podcast, podcast 354: m-braille, yahoo groups, and discounts for disabled
                    Welcome to podcast 354 of the technology podcast series. The segments on this podcast are mid-length, but quite interesting I think for a change in pace for this particular podcast. Let's tell you what we're going to cover.
                    • Time to get your M-braille On is the blog post for written communication, but why gripe when this happens to many pieces of software besides M-Braille? It got fixed, and it now works again. All operating systems has its fallbacks when upgrading, and I talk about this.
                    • Shaun Everiss and I talk about Yahoo. Shaun sent me an email which prompted me to create this blog post and segment 2 is all his. Segment 4 is mine.
                    • Its always nice to have a discount, but why do we, the disabled, need a discount? Yes I get it, our software is quite expensive, especially if you use Jaws or the discontinued Window-Eyes. Other pieces of software which include Duxbury and even Braille2000 are expensive. There are discounts for specific cases, but why phones? This blog post: A petition on lowering the cost of an iphone for the disabled? Let’s discuss talks about This Apple Vis forum post: A petition asking Apple to consider discounts for people with disabilities. which has quite a number of negitive comments. I see what was tried with this post, but there are already discounts for phones through the carriers and even through Apple itself through care. I'm linking to my blog post and Applevis in this show notes so you can choose which one you want to read.
                      • I hope you enjoy the program as much as I have putting it together, and I'll see you all on another edition of the program next time.
                      1 hr 18 min
                    • The Security box, podcast 14 for October 14, 2020
                      A day late, but its better than not posting at all. The podcast is packed, and I hope you all enjoy it!
                      The Security Box, podcast 14 must continue with the ongoing saga of John Bernard. We've got an article on that. What do you guys think of a passwordless future? Lastpass talks about it. News, notes, comments, and more.
                      Topics:
                      • What do you think of John Bernard? Apparently, the suspect that has been identified as this person walked away with 30 million dollars, and it doesn't stop there. The end of the article claims from one company that they hope that he comes through with his promise. Promising Infusions of Cash, Fake Investor John Bernard Walked Away With $30M is the article. Could this be the end?
                      • Passwords have long been one of the leading drivers of security risks and employee frustrations for businesses, which has only increased since organizations
                        • transitioned to working remote. Passwordless authentication, on the other hand, securely connects employees to their work without the need to type a password
                        through technologies such as biometric authentication, single sign-on and federated identity. Is passwordless authentication the solution to the password
                        problem?  This is only the first paragraph of this facinating article on a passwordless future which will get interesting. The article LastPass Research Finds 92% of Businesses Believe Passwordless Authentication Is in Their Organization’s Future is going to be discussed.
                      • What is up with privacy? Conversations that could go awry because of an innocent conversation. Listen to the segment and form your own opinion.
                        • News Notes:
                        I've done some reading but what about you? Submit things either by voice or text and lets discuss it.
                        Other things:
                        Twit had an event held on October 8, 2020. Here is a sendspace link to that download which I'll have expire in 8 weeks from today. This is the property of twit, I'm supplying it as a courtesy to you. Visit the twit network to learn more about them.
                        2 hr 32 min
                      • The Security Box, podcast 13: A discussion on Identity issues
                        The show notes are not lengthy this time, that is because we don't have a whole lot for them. Yes, news notes was covered, yet, we have some interesting discussion.
                        Below, please find the show notes.
                        Welcome to podcast 13 of the technology blog and podcast series known as the Security Box/. On this episode, we are going to cover NCSAM, week 1. The big thing now a days are your security and identity protection when it comes to your online safety. The first article Identity Fraud: How to Protect Your Identity Data, Accounts and Money During the Coronavirus Crisis is discussed in a taped segment. Speaking of identity, Preston from Pensylvania is going to be on with an interview that I did with him talking about experience, stories, and the like. We'll also cover some news if time allows. Please make sure that you tune in to the blog web site for all of the news, as NCSAM will be busy and lots of items will be posted. You may want to decide to subscribe so you don't miss anything. Thanks for listening!
                        3 hr 17 min
                      • The Technology podcast, podcast 353: NCSAM and Identity, Google and More
                        While the podcast is an hour, I know that I want to do more with the tech podcast in all kinds of tech not just the security landscape. In this podcast, I think I have covered a bit, even talking about some stuff in a different light unlike the Security Box. Here are the show notes.
                        Welcome to podcast 353 of the technology podcast.
                        • NCSAM is out now, its the month of October and its definitely going to be an interesting month. Our first segment talks about the fact that identity theft may be more of a problem now more than ever. blog post
                        • KNFB reader was intigrated in to newsline. People were griping about it on Apple Vis, and may have been in social media as well. I looked at the app one day, and I find it quite interesting but still easy to use. They griped because they had to reverify their info, otherwise known as reauthenticate. KNFB Reader lite works well, and I am glad I have choices. blog post
                        • Michael in Tennessee taught me about Google and pairing to bluetooth devices. While I told my phone to forget the device, I had to go back in to google and get it repaired as I tried to demo how I got it to work. Be that as it may, this was kind of cool. Thanks Michael for this!
                        • On a prior podcast, we covered SSL and what is happening with threat actors today. I intend to write a blog post with my thoughts, but the Security Box definitely covered this. Podcast 12 of the box covers this in a talk show format, but I figure it should be covered here for those who don't want the longer program. Tell me what you think.
                          • The full program lasts an hour, so I hope you'll enjoy it. Thanks for listening! See you on another edition of the program.
