Amazon Web ServicesIn the past supporting a web application required purchasing one or more computer systems to act as web servers. Additional hardware might include a load balancer to distribute web application load between the web servers and a database server. These computer systems would need to be housed in an air conditioned facility. An alarm system and other security measures would be needed to provide physical security. Enough Internet bandwidth would need to be purchased to support anticipated peak usage.In addition to the capital costs for computer hardware and facilities, staff would be needed to manage the computer systems.Amazon Web Services (AWS) has dramatically reduced the costs of web applications. There is no upfront cost for computing, internet bandwidth and database (...)

La #NSA dans le viseur des « Shadow Brokers »
▻http://www.liberation.fr/futurs/2016/08/17/la-nsa-dans-le-viseur-des-shadow-brokers_1473072
Le mystérieux collectif prétend être entré en possession de « cyberarmes » utilisées par un autre groupe de hackers, l’« Equation Group » [une émanation de la NSA], et les avoir déposées dans une archive mise en ligne sur plusieurs sites d’hébergement de fichiers. L’archive contient deux dossiers, tous deux chiffrés. Dans leur message, les Shadow Brokers fournissent le mot de passe du premier dossier. Et ils annoncent mettre aux enchères celui qui permet de déchiffrer le second : ils publient, à cet effet, une adresse bitcoin, la fameuse monnaie cryptographique et décentralisée lancée en 2009.

  Shadow Brokers’ Leak Raises Alarming Question: Was the N.S.A. Hacked?

  “The real problem for us is that the Russians seem to have taken the gloves off in the cyberdomain,” said Mr. Lewis, of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, “and we don’t know how to respond.”

  NSA’s use of software flaws to hack foreign targets posed risks to cybersecurity
  ▻https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/nsas-use-of-software-flaws-to-hack-foreign-targets-posed-risks-to-cybersecurity/2016/08/17/657d837a-6487-11e6-96c0-37533479f3f5_story.html
  To penetrate the computers of foreign targets, the National Security Agency relies on software flaws that have gone undetected in the pipes of the Internet. For years, security experts have pressed the agency to disclose these bugs so they can be fixed, but the agency hackers have often been reluctant.
  Now with the mysterious release of a cache of NSA hacking tools over the weekend, the agency has lost an offensive advantage, experts say, and potentially placed at risk the security of countless large companies and government agencies worldwide.
  Several of the tools exploited flaws in commercial firewalls that remain unpatched, and they are out on the Internet for all to see. Anyone from a basement hacker to a sophisticated foreign spy agency has access to them now, and until the flaws are fixed, many computer systems may be in jeopardy.

Obama signs secret directive to help thwart cyberattacks
►http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/obama-signs-secret-cybersecurity-directive-allowing-more-aggressive-military-role/2012/11/14/7bf51512-2cde-11e2-9ac2-1c61452669c3_story_1.html
One of those tools was Stuxnet, a computer virus jointly developed by the United States and Israel that damaged nearly 1,000 centrifuges at an Iranian nuclear plant in 2010. If an adversary should turn a similar virus against U.S. computer systems, whether public or private, the government needs to be ready to preempt or respond, officials have said.
Since the creation of the military’s Cyber Command in 2010, its head, Gen. Keith Alexander, has forcefully argued that his hundreds of cyberwarriors at Fort Meade should be given greater latitude to stop or prevent attacks. One such cyber-ops tactic could be tricking malware by sending it “sleep” commands.
Alexander has put a particularly high priority on defending the nation’s private-sector computer systems that control critical functions such as making trains run, electricity flow and water pure.
