Desperate to find his stolen motorcycle, he ended up locating a container with another 25 about to sail. It wasn’t thanks to GPS

by

In Spain a motorcycle is steal every six minutes. It is enough with a van and two or three people willing to make it disappear. It is not the only country that this scourge suffers. In the United Kingdom Motorcycles are stolen worth three million each monthsomething that leads to a curious story. One in which the London police could find much more than he was looking for. Biketrac It is a company specialized in GPS tracking devices based in the United Kingdom. Next to the police, and after investigating the theft of a client, he has been able to locate many more motorcycles than he had planned. One of the company’s clients called those responsible for the service, desperate after the theft of their BMW R 1200 GSone of the stars in the German house. Biketrac, which offers a tracking service by combining both GPS and radiofrequency, located the motorcycle at a point of Essexa small county that may sound to you if you like Viking history. They soon realized that the motorcycle was still moving, getting closer and more to a load spring near the port. They were quite clear that thieves wanted to send the motorcycle abroad, and that time ran against him. According to the company, the authorities could be indicated to the exact container that contained them thanks to the radio frequency, and not to the GPS. Within a container, GPS ceases to be a precise technologyand that is where the radiofrequency You can emit small radio pulses that, tracked with appropriate portable receptors, can determine locations exactly. Simply approach the container and check the signal intensity. When it reaches its maximum, you are facing it. With the police authorization, readings were taken in the area to triangular the exact position of the container, identifying its corresponding number to subsequently inform the authorities. Location and number in hand, the police requested permission from the port to access the container. Bingo. Inside it was not alone the BMW R 1200 GS, there were a total of 25 motorcycles stacked in the container, ready to leave the country. This was how, in the task of finding a single motorcycle, almost thirty of them, thanks to radio frequency technology. An unusual in most trackers sold in Spain.

I had set up the Amazon of the stolen data

by

José Luis Huertas, aka AlcasecIt wasn’t just a hacker. At 21 he had built “UDYAT – The Eye of Horus“, a commercial platform that sold stolen data with sophistication not so far from that of Amazon or Netflix. Why is it important. The Alcasec detention He has brought to light that Spain had a “parallel data market where anyone could buy segmented personal information as if it were a subscription service to use. His business model was indistinguishable from a legitimate startup. The context. Although media is presented as a youth hacker from Your detention in 2023the reality is more complex. Alcasec had created a complete business infrastructure: Cloud storage. Customer service bot on social networks. Data segmentation by profiles. And even a cryptocurrency billing system. The facts. The platform offered “custom consultation services” through an encrypted bot. Customers could buy individualized data packages according to specific individuals or legal entities. Like any modern electronic commerce, but selling your ID, your phone number and your bank data. His “catalog” included: Complete telephone listings. Operator customers. Madrid transport fertilizers. Pet records. Databases of educational centers. Civil Registry Information. In figures. Alcasec invoiced 1,866,175 euros through its platform. In their devices, 32,943 bitcoins were found. Between December 2021 and February 2022 he received cryptocurrency notifications worth 365,000 euros. Between the lines. The participation of former State Secretary Francisco Martínez was not accidental. The network He used his figure to appear to be a legitimate security consultancy, thus bleaching its criminal operation through corporate structures. Police Define the organization as “a structural threat with the capacity for economic and strategic destabilization.” They do not exaggerate. They had made public institutions violated without realizing it, turning their databases into an online supermarket. Deepen. The most worrying is the scalability of the model. Alcasec didn’t need to hack every time I wanted money. He had automated the process: the systems continually stole data, the platform automatically classified them and the BO served 24/7 customers. A business that worked alone. The difference between Alcasec and a normal technological company is that one sells legal services and the other illegal data. Specifically, your private life.

A retiree and his children have stolen millions of dollars to Ford in office material. Indeed, lights, caps and bumper

by

Although in February this year Audi closed its Brussels plant After 75 years in operation, the road was not simple. In the middle of the workers’ protests, someone had an idea: take the keys of 200 cars, put them in a box and remove them from the factory. Clean, simple and with 200 kidnapped cars whose unit value was around 100,000 euros. As simple as keep a box under the jacket and go through the door. More complicated seems to steal the entire engine of a car. This is what was discovered A few months ago in India. For five years, up to 900 Kia combustion engines were stolen from their plants and has not been clear to what extent some worker of the company itself is involved. However, and although large, one can understand that engines from a factory have been steal if they manage to partially disassemble. But how can one take a car cap? And a bumper? This is what they wonder in Ford where a retiree and two children, company workers, have committed a “billionaire” robbery for more than two years. Hello, dad, I bring you a bumper The information, which comes from Detroit Free Pressa police note echoed in which it was confirmed that four people have been arrested for the theft of pieces of different Ford assembly chains that later sold on Ebay. Among those arrested is a former Ford employee but the identity of any of them has not been revealed so far. The pieces were stolen from three Ford plants, one in Deabane, another on a mounting plant in Michigan and one last in Flat Rock. In Motorpasion and The Drive They point out that three of these four men were family. One of them was a retired father and the other two were his children who had contact with a Ford employee. The extracted pieces were taken to stores where they accumulated for sale. A robbery that, according to the local police, is encrypted in “multimillionaire”. And it is that the four employees would have been subtracting and selling pieces for more than two years. The most curious thing is that it is not small or easy to hide pieces. Among the products found were car headlights but also Bumper and Capóslarge pieces therefore. An agent pointed to Fox That the stores where the pieces were stored were covered to the roof. The investigation is analyzing how these pieces could be taken out of the plant without attracting attention from other employees and will have to discover how they were eliminated from the inventory so as not to attract attention since all the pieces in a mounting plant usually have some type of code that identifies each piece. In addition, from the police they point out that they are still looking for new indications that take them to ships or warehouses where the suspects could save the pieces, taking into account the volume of them and the economic damage that it seems to have caused.

by

Although not monopolized attention to the same extent that TSMC, Intel or Samsung, the South Korean company SK Hynix is ​​done is One of the main designers and manufacturers of semiconductors of the planet. His specialty is The tuning of memory chipsand it is doing so well that LEADS THE HBM Chips Market so much (High Bandwidth Memory) like that of the DRAM memories. In fact, SK Hynix controls no less than 70% of the integrated HBM memory circuits market, so His leadership in this sector is overwhelming. In addition, it is the NVIDIA supplier if we stick to its GPU to artificial intelligence (AI) Thanks to the high competitiveness of your HBM chips. Samsung has an approximate share of 28%, and Micron touchs 18%. However, the success of SK Hynix is ​​based, as we can intuit, about its capacity for innovation. At the current situation, industrial espionage is the order of the day The Prosecutor of the Central District of Seoul (South Korea) has accused a former SK Hynix employee of illegally transferring technology to the Chinese company Huawei. This person’s identity has not yet transcended, but according to Digitimes Asia He is a name Kim, is South Korean and worked in the subsidiary in China of Sk Hynix until in 2022 he left this South Korean company to join Hysylicon, the Huawei subsidiary specialized in the design of semiconductors. Kim is South Korean and worked at SK Hynix until in 2022 this company left to join Hysilicon Presumably the Prosecutor’s Office is acting at the instances of SK Hynix. And it seems that this last company has discovered that during the negotiation of its hiring Kim gave Hysilicon Secret Information About advanced packaging technology used in the production of 3D NAND and HBM memories, as well as about multiple assembly Chiplets and of the CMOS image sensors. These technologies are protected by the property rights of SK Hynix, and in them largely resides the competitiveness of this company. According to the Kim prosecution he printed and took more than 11,000 photographs of internal SK Hynix files with the purpose of abandoning this last company and using this confidential material to get work in the competition in very advantageous conditions. In fact, according to the researchers of the Kim accusation he presented the material that extracted from SK Hynix at least two Chinese companies. One of them Hysilicon, He finally hired him. An important note: neither this last company nor its matrix, Huawei, asked him to give them commercial secrets, but, according to the Prosecutor’s Office, they accepted them as part of the hiring process.

In this same message you add a web address in which they say you can claim if the purchase has been a mistake. The SMS includes as title “Financiera Corte Inglés”, with which they try to confuse you to pass through this entity. In addition, they have altered the name of the sender so that some acronyms that may correspond appear. This is the first step to confuse users. In addition to this they use other tricks, such as including an amount of money large enough to alarm And try to make panic and hurry to lower our guard. They also add a web address whose URL contains the name of this entity, although the domain is a totally different one. The address points to a website that in some cases will already be blocked by your browser, but that can be A clonic page where your user data is requested or your bank data.

For example, if you have elcorteingles.paginafalsa.com, even if you put ELCORTEINGLESthis is a subdomain, as a secondary page, and the main one is what appears after the point, in the case of our example .paginafalsa.com. The real messages of the Financiera El Corte Inglés also begin by putting FinancialCorteinglesand this is something that cybercriminals have imitated. Normally the company will not include any web address In your real messages, and it is something that you must take into account. The best thing in these cases is that, given the doubt, you enter the web manually of financialelcorteingles.es either elcorteingles.es To look in your account if there is any payment. The website always writes manually, and Never enter from the link of an SMSbecause it is what cybercriminals want.

by

The cryptocurrency market had been encouraged again months ago. Everything seemed relatively quiet, but two serious events in this segment have brought us again those sensations of distrust and insecurity. And it will not be easy to get rid of them. A historical theft. Last Friday someone managed to hack the market for the sale of BYBIT cryptodivisas. The firm He quickly warned how they had detected “unauthorized activity” in their systems. It was the greatest cryptocurrency hacking in history: it is estimated that the attackers (s) managed to steal $ 1.5 billion in the form of ETH. The previous most important robberies had been the 470 million dollars stolen in the Mt Gox hacking In 2014, the 530 million coincheck In 2018 or 650 million from Exploit Ronin Bridge In 2022. Lazarus group as suspicious. At the moment the firm does not know how the hacking was performed, but apparently the company’s laptops were not compromised and the problem affected Safe, the “cold” purse of the platform. Cybersecurity consultant Arkham Intelligence indicates that Lazarus Group had been responsible, a statement based on The investigation of the expert in this area Zachxbt. Bybit says to be covered. Ben Zhou, CEO of Bybit, highlighted How his criptomoned sale market had enough reserves to cover hacking and cryptocurrency withdrawal – especially, especially, Stablecoins– Although for a few hours They blocked some functions of their purses to guarantee their safety. A few hours ago Zhou indicated how they had managed to cover virtually all funds. Panic in Bybit. The theft has caused many users to withdraw funds in Bybit for fear that these funds will also end up being stolen. As indicated In Coindeskin the hours following the HACKEO Bybit he saw how their clients withdrew 4,000 million dollars in funds. Of the 16.9 billion dollars managed in crypto assets in Bybit, the firm went to manage 11.2 billion dollars According to defillama data. Can Ctrl-Z do to the block chain? Some users asked if it would be feasible to make a kind of “roll-back” of the Ethereum block chain. That would allow us to undo the changes made by hackers and return the status of that great book of accounts to how it was before hacking, but it is not clear that this is possible. Experts indicate according to Coindesk that something like this would be possible, but the interactions between the Smart Contracts and their internal architecture make it not easy. It would be necessary to reach a consensus, and could even cause a division of the Ethereum block chain in two. Just when in the US the thing was encouraged. The robbery occurred just the day Coinbase had managed to reach an agreement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission leave the demand without also being issued. Donald Trump’s re -election had promoted the value of cryptocurrencies, but since his appointment we have lived several worrying events. Memecoins, Trump and Milei. The scandals have been especially primed with the Memecoins created or supported by Trump and especially by Javier MileiPresident of Argentina. Both grew in a brilliant value and then collapsed in a mysterious and disturbing way, which points to possible fraud in which a few privileged were winning while hundreds of thousands of people lost their investments in these cryptodivisas. Distrust and insecurity, the eternal condemnation of crypts. The scandals with these memecoins and the spectacular bykit hacking return us the constant feeling of insecurity and distrust that the cryptodivisas have always generated. The institutional interest and a certain tranquility in recent times seemed to have softened that environment, but these new events will probably make more people think twice before investing in this type of assets. It is a bad idea to leave your cryptocurrencies in an “Exchange”. The truth is that these robberies have confirmed that their security measures can end up being insufficient to protect their customers’ funds. The most recommended form of experts to save these cryptocurrencies is do it in physical pursesdo not leave them in the purchase market for sale of cryptocurrencies (“Exchange”).
