Abney Associates-Effect

http://www.abney.com/abneyeffect.html The Abney effect describes the perceived hue shift that occurs when white light is added to a monochromatic light source. The addition of white light will cause a desaturation of the monochromatic source, as perceived by the human eye. However, a less intuitive effect of the white light addition that is perceived by the human eye is the change in the dominant wavelength that dictates which color is observed, or change in hue. This simultaneous hue shift phenomenon cannot be measured by experimental instruments; it is only discernible in the eye. This variance of hue as a result of the addition of white light was first described by the English chemist and physicist Sir William de Wiveleslie Abney in 1909, although the date is commonly reported as 1910. A white light source is created by the combination of red light, blue light, and green light. Sir Abney demonstrated that the cause of the apparent change in hue was the red light and green light that comprise the white light, and the blue light component of white light had no contribution to the Abney effect.

Malware Warning by Abney Associates Review Blog: Why Malware

http://www.theatlanticwire.com/technology/2013/02/google-chrome-malware-warnings/61774/ For Chrome users, a malware warning page popped up on Monday across many major websites — The New York Times, IMDb, The Hollywood Reporter, Talking Points Memo, and MSN Money, to name a few — due to so-called blacklisting bug inside Google's ad network. NetSeer.com, which describes itself as a "concept-based contextual advertising" outfit, was hacked Monday morning, according to ZDNet's Zack Whittacker. The breach got into NetSeer's corporate website, not its ad network, but both use the same domain name — NetSeer.com — which led Google to put that address on its warning list for all Chrome users. The domain-name addition pushed out warnings to all websites that use NetSeer to serve their ads, which apparently includes a lot of major websites on the Internet. Here's what the warning, which was still floating around intermittently as of midday, looks like: Unlike NetSeer, those that carry the temporary Google warning have no harmful content on them — and users who see the warning pages shouldn't worry about malware infections, according to NetSeer and The Guardian, one of the dozens of affected sites. It's unclear if Google meant to block both the domain that serves the ads, as well as the NetSeer company website. Meanwhile, NetSeer claims it has removed all the malware from its own website and is working with Google throughout the day to take its domain off the Chrome blacklist, as the company explained in a statement: “Our operations team went into all-hands-on-deck mode and we have successfully cleaned the site of the malware issue. We are also working with Google to do an expedited review of the site and remove the site from the malware impacted site-list so that browsing behavior can be restored for all users.

Macau er sårbar for cybercrime på grunn av volumet av turister og sprer seg Wi-Fi presseomtalen, informasjon teknologieksperter mener, og de advarer det brukernes å være ekstra forsiktig om Internett-sikkerhet. "Du har mer enn 25 millioner mennesker besøker Macau årlig, og du kan ikke kontrollere all denne menneskelige trafikken," fortalte University Insubria loven foreleser Giuseppe Vaciago Business Daily i går. "Nitti prosent av disse menneskene er å bruke penger og foretar transaksjoner via Internett, så det er et stort problem med sikkerhetsspørsmål som hvitvasking eller bedrageri." Mr Vaciago og FN interregionalt kriminalitet og rettferdighet Research Institute prosjektet offiser Francesca Bosco gjennomfører en fem-dagers cybercrime seminar som startet her på mandag.

Korjaustiedosto korjaa 42 heikkouksia Java, kuten "valtaosa" ne, jotka on luokiteltu kriittisenä, sanoi Oracle varatoimitusjohtaja Hasan Rizvi. Sarjan suuri tietoturva-aukkoja Java-plugin selaimille on paljastunut viime vuonna tutkijat ja hakkerit, ja jotkut käyttää rikollisryhmien ennen edellisiä korjaustiedostoja on myönnetty. Yksi hakkerointi kampanjalla ilmaista tänä vuonna tartunnan tietokoneiden Microsoft Corp: n Windows- ja Apple software sisällä satoja yrityksiä, kuten Facebook Inc., omena osakeyhtiö ja Twitter.

Internet Warning Abney and Associates Article: Symantec warn

http://www.v3.co.uk/v3-uk/news/2262195/symantec-warns-on-credit-card-security-phishing-scam Symantec has uncovered a cyber scam duping victims into handing over their financial information using a bogus security guidance web page. The security firm reported uncovering the phishing scam in a blog post on Wednesday. The scam targets its victims using a bogus message masquerading as a security alert from a legitimate, unnamed credit card service provider. "In March, we discovered a phishing site spoofing a popular credit card services company that asked users for confidential information, allegedly for additional security," wrote Symantec's Mathew Maniyara. The message instructed its victims to disclose sensitive banking information that could be used by the attackers to illegally access their finances. "The phishing site prompts users through a three-step procedure for activating their card and adding higher security. The first step asks users for personal and card-related information," wrote Maniyara. "The personal information includes the users' name, date of birth, residential address, phone number, and email address. The card information includes name of bank, name on card, card number, expiration date, and card verification code." Phishing scams and attacks on the financial sector are a growing problem facing the security industry.

Warning issued following online romance scams | Abney Associ

http://www.nrcpb.org/view.php?id=20130504053240AAzPz40 Warning issued following online romance scams, abney associates hong kong cybercrime reports Abney Associates Hong Kong Cybercrime Reports: Warning issued following online romance scams West Mercia Police are warning people looking for romance on the internet to be on their guard against fraudsters who will leave them broken-hearted. The police warning follows a recent rise in the number of online romance scams. Robin Longmore, from the Economic Crime Unit, said: “The number of reports dropped dramatically about a year ago following publicity concerning a woman who was tricked into giving nearly £40,000 to a conman who wooed her for several months on the internet and then over the phone. “However, it appears we are being blighted by romance scams once again. There has been a big increase in recent months and we suspect some members of the public have lowered their guard and consequently more victims are being identified.” Mr Longmore, a Financial Intelligence Development Officer, said: “We are particularly concerned that people are inadvertently acting as ‘money mules’ in such scams, allowing their bank accounts to be used to launder criminal funds from other similar scams. “They may not realise this at the time as they are caught up in the excitement of a possible romance, but they may just find themselves on the wrong side of the law if they engage in such activity. “We have seen on numerous occasions, members of the public allowing funds to be transferred into their accounts having been told by the scammer that their own account has been compromised or some other similar reason. “They are then asked to move the funds on to another person, or more usually, asked to withdraw the funds and send them overseas via a money service business.” He said internet dating sites were a major source for scammers to identify victims and advised anyone suspecting they may be a target, to report it to the site conce

Abney Ramsay Associates: Management 101

What is management? What do managers do? How do I manage?These are standard questions that most of us in the management profession have been asked more than once. And questions we asked once in our careers too. Here, then, is a basic look at management, a primer, Management 101 from my perspective.Art and ScienceManagement is both art and science. It is the art of making people more effective than they would have been without you. The science is in how you do that. There are four basic pillars: plan, organize, direct, and monitor.Make Them More EffectiveFour workers can make 6 units in an eight-hour shift without a manager. If I hire you to manage them and they still make 6 units a day, what is the benefit to my business of having hired you? On the other hand, if they now make 8 units per day, you, the manager, have value.The same analogy applies to service, or retail, or teaching, or any other kind of work. Can your group handle more customer calls with you than without? Sell higher value merchandise? Impart knowledge more effectively? etc. That is the value of management - making a group of individual more effective.Basic Management Skill

Hackers by Abney and Associates Internet Technology Blog

Internet Trolls, Scammers and Hackers Targeted by New Gloucestershire Cyber Crime Squad A NEW team is being set up to crackdown on cyber crime in Gloucestershire, including harassment on social media sites, hacking and internet fraud. Gloucestershire Police will be identifying and training a specialist network of its officers to combat the growing number of offences committed on the internet in the county. New figures reveal there were hundreds of internet fraud and other online offences against victims in Gloucestershire in the last ten months. The statistics show 89 people or businesses fell prey to hackers and 240 people were targeted by fraudsters on internet auction sites between April and December last year. IN addition, the number of people making reports of offences in which social media sites were mentioned, which typically include allegations of harassment, increased from 55 in 2010 to 2011 to 78 in 2012 to 2013. Between April and December in 2013, there were 75 offences involving computer software such as malware and viruses, 100 offences of computer software service fraud and 12 dating scam offences and seven lottery scams. Detective chief superintendent Bernie Kinsella said cybercrime was right at the top of the force’s agenda because of the increased number of offences and the impact it was having on society. “You just have to look at the number of people affected right here in Gloucestershire to realise how big a concern this is,” he said.

Data Breach Abney and Associates on Phishing Scams News

MUNCIE — If you did any Christmas shopping at Target, you’ve probably had at least twinges of concern with each new report of the fallout from hackers having stolen credit and debit card information from the store’s files during that period.Customer names, mailing addresses, phone numbers or email addresses for up to 70 million people were stolen from the retail chain’s system in a breach discovered in mid-December, according to the Target website.In addition to keeping an eye out for suspicious charges on their accounts, consumers are being warned of another potential attack stemming from the information theft.STAR Financial Bank last week sent out a warning about email phishing scams related to the data breach. “Phishing attacks use spoofed e-mails (messages from forged addresses, often made to look as if they come from a bank, online retailer or similar business) and fraudulent websites designed to fool recipients into divulging personal financial data,” a release from STAR stated.Almost anyone using email probably gets the occasional suspicious message purportedly from a bank, business or social media site “checking” on their personal or account information. But those whose information was stolen in the Target data break could be particular targets for current phishing attempts, warned Michael Krouse, STAR’s information security officer.The American Bankers Association and STAR offer these tips for avoiding becoming the victim of a phishing scam:• If you have responded to a spoofed email, contact your bank immediately so they can protect your account and identity.• Never give out your personal or financial information in response to an unsolicited phone call, fax or email, no matter how official it seems.• Do not respond to emails that warn of dire consequences unless you validate your information immediately.
