The Growth Debate – China & India

The Growth Debate – China & India Written by Daniel Park China and India are booming.  Superficially it is easy to be impressed.  We note that annual growth rates in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) have been sustained over the past few years at 8-10 per cent, sometimes even higher.  Analyses of China and India point to the major investment in education that is turning out many thousands of top-class engineers and scientists annually.  It seems that so many of our manufactured goods carry a “Made in China” label and that our call centre services are increasingly located in India.  The recent rises in energy and commodity prices are partly explained by the rapid growth in demand from China and India.  Moreover it seems to be assumed that this level of overall economic growth will continue indefinitely and that unless we in “The West” get involved in it, we will live to regret it. This is, I believe, at best an incomplete perspective and at worst a dangerous one. Th

Cryptowall 3.0: Back to the Basics

Talos Group - February 9, 2015 This post was authored by Andrea Allievi  & Earl Carter Ransomware continues to impact a large number of organizations and the malware continues to evolve. In January, we examined Cryptowall 2.0 and highlighted new features incorporated into the dropper and Cryptowall binary. When Cryptowall 3.0 appeared, we were interested in seeing what new functionality was incorporated into this latest variant in the Cryptowall series. The latest 3.0 sample that we analyzed was in a zip file. This zip file contains multiple dropper files which are essentially identical in functionality except for the encryption algorithm used to obfuscate the dropper and eventually build the Cryptowall 3.0 binary. Similar to the 2.0 version, the dropper is encrypted with a custom algorithm three times, but that is where the similarities end. In the 3.0 sample that we analyzed, the following dropper features (which we identified as being operational in version 2.0)
