That’s how the Printer companies make their money- you don’t seriously think there is a serious profit margin on a $59 multifunction inkjet printer? The printer is the loss leader. It’s the ongoing revenue from ink sales that are the real revenue stream. It’s just like new cars and buying new car parts car headlights on new cars are insanely expensive, as no aftermarket manufacturer makes them for at least the first three years, so the car manufacturer has the monopoly on car parts for new cars…

Who still allowed e-mails with attachments to directly pass through to employee mailboxes in 2015 simply doesn't deserve any better. In our company, not even HTML messages are allowed to pass through to employee accounts. Employees only get plain text e-mails, never anything else. If the mail contains no plain text message, the incoming mail server translates the HMTL text to plain text before forwarding it. If there are attachments, those are stored on an extra server and are then stripped from the mail. Even if hackers manages to hack the incoming mail server, it's outside of the internal network (before the main firewall) and has no access to anything internally. It can only forward messages to the internal mail server (that will drop all mails containing attachments or HMTL immediately without further notice) and it can upload attachments to the attachment server (there is no external interface for downloading attachments). So even if attackers get total control of the incoming mail server, they cannot access attachments from any other mails and if they disable stripping HMTL/attachments, then these mails never go anywhere as the next server in the process chain will just drop them without even trying to process them. There is no way you can hack into our network by using an exploit in HMTL mails or by adding malicious attachments, as none of this ever reaches any employee. Further sending the same (or a very similar) message to multiple employees one by one will immediately cause that message to be blocked as spam for all employees, because this is no normal use case. Either a message is for one specific employee only or it is for a group of them but then it is send to an internal group distribution address (e.g. every team has a team address for that purpose) or it is send to all the related employee at once (multiple TO or CC). Everything else is clearly spear fishing and performed by someone who doesn't even know the group addresses or who has no idea which employees belong to the same team.

@@StarWarsExpert_ It's different for some companies. An erroneously blocked or even just delayed email might cost a bank a huge amount of money. Of course there are compensating measures. Employees with access to potentially dangerous email attachments won't sit in the same network as...the printer which prints out every transaction? Any unexpected TCP/IP, UDP, GRE, ... packet must disconnect the suspected PC from the network, immediately followed by a snatch-&-grab of the hardware (for malware analysis) and the employee. Still, I remember one case, less than 10 years ago, where a CD was physically mailed to the bank. This one went straight to malware analysis. Of course, the Bangladesh bank's security system was just the boss checking printouts after the weekend.

This sounds great but are you also working in a bank? Never heard of a company that does this yet in my line of work. In my current job, most of the employees work remotely so the vulnerability increases but we just simply have no access to the payment information of the customers. My company also did not provide any work computer so we are just using our personal one.
@xcoder11224 ай бұрын
@@Bums001 I work for an IT company. We mainly produce and sell software, we also sell some IT services, and we run our own cloud infrastructure. The only two valuable things you can steal from us are source code and customer account information (names, addresses, phone numbers, what company they work for, etc.). You can't steal customers' private data because data in our cloud, unless it is public, is always end-to-end encrypted (not even we have access to this data, only the customer does), you can't steal passwords (we don't store passwords, we store only salted hashes of passwords, so not even we know our customers' passwords), and you can't steal money (we have no records of bank accounts or credit card numbers because we don't process payments ourselves, we use an external payment processor for that). So we are not even a valuable target and yet we have all these security measures. It's a shame if a valuable target has fewer security measures than we do. However, hackers cannot know whether we are a valuable target or not, so they try anyway. Our mail concept filters several spear-fishing attempts a day, and our main firewall's intrusion alert goes off several times a week where people are actively trying to break into our cloud systems using known security exploits that our firewall blocks, and that wouldn't have worked anyway because our systems are all patched against them. Without all these security measures, we would probably get hacked several times a year.

Printers and security ... In '95 I was briefly working at a company which had no internet connection. The internal network was using arbitrary IP addresses, not RFC 1549 private IPs. Eventually the company got internet which meant we had to renumber the network. Somehow that was mostly working right but printing didn't work for a few clients. Turns out these machines somehow had not picked up the IP address change of the printer and were still printing to the old IP address. Here's were Murphy enters the stage. The IP address happened to be an actual printer somewhere in Sweden and it happily accepted print jobs from Germany.

Phishing is still so ridiculously easy, it's a disgrace. Even well-trained, educated people just cant get it through their thick skulls that there are more important things in business than pleasing your manager and getting the completely, totallly, utterly insignificant business report done on time. It's no wonder the phishing business is booming.

6:50 - Slight misconception. Yes the weekend starts on "Thursday night" meaning generally Fridays and Saturdays are off, Sunday is a working day. Basically Bangladesh being an "Islamic country" means that Friday is rest for them. For Jews is Saturday and for Christians it's Sunday. In fact on avarage people in Bangladesh work 2,232 hours per year, the 7th highest in the world. For context people in the US work 1,765 hours per year, being at 39th place. EDIT: I checked on their official website. Yes, only Fridays and Saturdays are off. Thursdays and Sundays are working days. That graphic is really really misleading.

It is actually quite sad people think opening zip files would be a problem. It is just a file with compressed data. The problem was surely in the operating system and they probably werent using linux. But hey add more workarounds about whatbis dangerous instead of handling the core issue that is windows (which could mostly be replaced by a browser kiosk).

In other words: The hackers where smart enough to not get cought and the USA inteligence wasn't willing to admit that a civilians could outsmart them, so they blamed North Korea.
@klausstock80205 ай бұрын
Because workers in North Korea have about zero rights. In about every other country, "hackers" enjoy a 9-to-5 job. Yes, the time of an attack can indicate which time zones the "hackers" are in. Only in North Korea, hackers are forced to work overtime, every day. Although many North Korean hackers from outside the country, as the North Korea has only a pool of 1000 IP addresses (some sponsored from China). However, it's still not easy to defect from the North Korean Cyber Army (although a few did). Yup, Cyber Army, not civilians (just like APT28 is just a short name for Russia's General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate 85th Main Special Service Center military unit 26165). Oh well, and malware analysts will find similarities in the attach and code, which they can connect to previous and future attacks, groups and states. Although the malware was suspected to have originated in Russia, it's similar to other malware used by Lazarus Group. And a North Korean C2C server IP address was identified during the analysis. I do not know what happend to the accomplice (or the accomplices) in the Bangladesh bank, and whether they could provide any information about the attackers. Note that North Korean groups have large overlaps, and Lazarus Group is the name given for all North Korean state-funded groups. The subgroup behind the Bangladesh is probably APT38. Yes, I consider it plausible, even though *I* cannot prove it..

Some hackers said that printers most of the times are easy to hack, because people won't update the printer software (not the driver). Big printers have hard disks, enough ram and the capacity to run apps like webservers.

In the aftermath, RCBC got slapped with the biggest fine ever levied by the Bangko Sentral (Philippines' Central Bank) and their CEO was forced to resign because of this booboo. KYC / AML controls also got significantly tighter system-wide after this fiasco - not that there aren't significant loopholes still in place in the financial system, but I can say it got significantly smaller.
