SOS Intelligence Dark Web Map

by Amir Hadzipasic

September 7, 2022

We thought it would be interesting to show you something we generate every now and again…

That is our representation of the SOS Intelligence Dark Web Index, the physical placement of the nodes represents the interconnectivity between onion services on the Dark Web (Tor).

It is an energy model of the network structure of the Dark Web.

The diagram is a visual representation of an energy model of the network structure for interconnecting onion services

Essentially, If a node has a lot of links, it has a heavier weight applied to it.

If a node has fewer links, it has a lighter weight applied to it and has less weight represented. The more links, the more central we represent that node on the map. Therefore onion services with fewer inbound or outbound links get ‘pushed’ outward to the edges of the map. Onions with more links weigh more so are positioned more centrally.

The colour is a computed modularity class – the social network of the nodes. We have calculated the community networks of the nodes. i.e. how likely it is that a node is linked to other nodes within the network.

What we get is a spatial representation and social network of around 43000 nodes in the past 24 hours.

The colour itself is random, but the membership of the colour is representative of their social network. What we don’t mean is their Facebook membership, but rather their community connections within the Dark Web.

The visualisation is stunning when seen on a large screen so we have made this available to download here in 4K.

If you are feeling kind, a tweet or short blog post about this would be much appreciated 🙂

Major UK transport company battles cyber-attack

by Amir Hadzipasic

September 7, 2022

Another week and yet another cyber-attack on a major UK company. The Guardian broke the news yesterday highlighting that Go-Ahead are facing problems with their back office systems, including bus services and payroll software.

Fortunately it is only affecting the bus services they run and not their rail business.

There are a couple of important things to note here. Firstly, the UK and other countries are seeing more threats to government organisations, transport and infrastructure companies. Infrastructure, by it’s nature, is vital to the smooth running of a countries’ daily life and an interruption to this can cause serious problems.

One of the most infamous cyber attacks to infrastructure took place last year when hackers breached the Colonial Pipeline using a compromised password.

The key aspect of this case was that investigators suspect hackers got password from dark web leak. This scenario is a perfect demonstration of how SOS Intelligence could have helped, alerting the company to this in time and possibly preventing what happened.

In the UK, companies have faced sizeable fines when they have been the subject of a breach and lost customer data.

British Airways was told in July 2019 that it faced a fine of £183m after hackers stole the personal information of half a million customers. Eventually they paid £20M, still a considerable amount.

If you are reading this and wonder if we can help, we probably can. You can book a call and demo here.

An issue was discovered in rsync before 3.2.5 that allows malicious remote servers to write arbitrary files inside the directories of connecting peers. The server chooses which files/directories are sent to the client. However, the rsync client performs insufficient validation of file names. A malicious rsync server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can overwrite arbitrary files in the rsync client target directory and subdirectories (for example, overwrite the .ssh/authorized_keys file).

New cyber security rules for for UK mobile and broadband carriers

by Amir Hadzipasic

August 31, 2022

Yesterday, the UK government announced that mobile and broadband carriers must follow a new set of rules that will strengthen our protection against cyber attacks.

“we know that today the security and resilience of our communications networks and services is more important than ever. From heightened geopolitical threats through to malicious cyber criminals exploiting network vulnerabilities, global events have shown the importance of providing world-leading security for our networks and services.
That’s why the creation of a new telecoms security framework via the Telecommunications (Security) Act 2021 was so important. With the help of the telecoms industry, we’ve now been able to move that framework forwards.”
– Matt Warman, Minister of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport

The new rules which the companies will need to follow, look at areas such as

how (and from whom) providers can procure infrastructure and services
how providers police activity and access
the investments they make into their security and data protection and the monitoring of that
how providers inform stakeholders of resulting data breaches or network outagesprocedures by March 2024

The executive summary of the consultation outcome is one we completely endorse:

The UK is becoming ever more dependent on public telecoms networks and services. The increased reliance of the economy, society and critical national infrastructure (CNI) on such networks and services means it is important to have confidence in their security. As the value of our connectivity increases, it becomes a more attractive target for attackers. It is important to make sure that our networks and services are secure in this evolving threat landscape.
Proposals for new telecoms security regulations and code of practice – government response to public consultation – Updated 30 August 2022.

TechCrunch highlights that those who fail to comply with the new regulations will face big fines, up to £100,000 per day.

SOS Intelligence is focused on providing effective and affordable cyber threat intelligence. We would welcome a conversation with any mobile and / or broadband carrier as we can definitely help you.

We can help you avoid the question from your CEO or MD… Why didn’t we know about this?
Simply put, we monitor keywords, email addresses, domains and more online including the Dark Web, so you get to know immediately if your data has been leaked. You can then do something about it.

Forewarned in many cases will be incredibly helpful.

The results of a GOV.UK survey released in March 2020 confirms cyber security breaches are becoming more frequent. It found 46% of UK businesses and charities reported a cyber- attack during the year. Of those, 33% claimed they experienced a cyber breach in 2020 at least once a week – up from 22% in 2017.

The consultation is recognising that the threats from certain countries are not going away, but more likely to be increasing. The UK’s vigilance needs to increase to meet these threats.
