Symantec Discovers Hacking Group Hired For Online Attacks

*Brett Smith for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online*

A newly published report from the cyber-security company Symantec said the hacker group known as Hidden Lynx is based out of China. However, unlike previous similar reports, the latest analysis did not tie cyber-attacks specifically to the Chinese government.

The company said it has been tracking the hacker syndicate for the last two years and found them to be responsible for six major online attacks. At times, these attacks have targeted hundreds of different organizations at the same time.

"This group is most likely a professional hacker-for-hire operation that are contracted by clients to provide information," Symantec wrote in a blog post about Hidden Lynx. "They steal on demand, whatever their clients are interested in, hence the wide variety and range of targets."

Symantec add that the group shows the "tenacity and patience of an intelligent hunter" and has the "hunger and drive" to evolve into one of the most infamous groups operating today.

In the 28-page report, the security company said its experts believe the Hidden Lynx group is connected to the 2009 Operation Aurora attacks, an expansive cyber espionage campaign waged against US companies. The attack targeted Google and tens of other companies. In January 2010, the search giant disclosed the fact that Operation Aurora hackers searched Gmail accounts of human rights activists.

Unlike other hacker collectives like Lulzsec or Anonymous, Hidden Lynx appears to be motivated by profit – not causing mischief or a libertarian agenda, Symantec said.

"The clients could be governments or states, it could be other corporations,” Gavin O'Gorman, senior threat intelligence analyst at Symantec, told The Telegraph's Ben Riley-Smith. "A lot of the targets are in financial industries, especially investment banks, so it could be that people are trying to get evidence when negotiating contracts."

O’Gorman said these cyber campaigns can extend for months as the group works to bring down the defenses of their target and scour data to locate valuable information. Some observers said that attacks focused on government installation suggested that states are paying the group to do its work.

"Targeting advanced technologies in specific areas such as aerospace would be useful in order to close technological gaps or gain knowledge of the advanced capabilities of other nation states," the report read.

The report also said Hidden Lynx is involved in a major cyber campaign called Voho, which was uncovered last year by the internet security firm RSA. Voho is said to have targeted hundreds of organizations, from financial firms, to technology and healthcare companies. Voho is also said to have targeted defense contractors and government agencies.

This latest cyber security report differs from previous reports that have made a connection between cyber-attacks on US entities and the Chinese government. A study released in February from the cyber-security company Mandiant, said a Chinese military unit was engaged in cyber espionage on American institutions. The report went so far as to release photos of the building that Mandiant said was the unit's headquarters. Beijing fervidly denied the accusations in that report. Reported by redOrbit 17 hours ago.

HR Conference Shines Spotlight on Video Technology

Job Search Television Network, Inc. and talentRISE gather industry leaders to discuss the many ways that video can enhance mobile, social, branding and recruitment campaigns.

Aurora, Illinois (PRWEB) September 18, 2013

JSTN, the first and only company that takes traditional text job posts and turns them into 60-second, newscast-style videos, is proud to announce the Video Vanguards HR Conference being held on September 26 at their studio headquarters in Aurora, Illinois.

Presented in conjunction with talentRISE, leading management consultants in recruiting, this half-day conference will revolve around the central theme of video as it relates to recruitment and HR, featuring companies that range from video interviewing to video job reports to corporate and branding videos. Other featured companies will delve into the implementation of video into social media and mobile campaigns and the role of video in generating superior metrics. Additionally, representatives from organizations who have successfully used video to generate greater efficiency and improved reach will provide insights into their strategy and best-in-class case studies.

"Many employers today seek cost effective, high touch ways to engage and attract top talent but they struggle with how to best incorporate video into their legacy recruiting systems and practices designed primarily around a job board post and pray model of recruitment," said Carl Kutsmode, Partner and Talent Solutions Consultant for talentRISE and event moderator. "That's why we're excited about this conference--to help them bridge those gaps."

The event will consist of two main parts. The first is a panel discussion with experts in the field providing an overview of the broad spectrum of video as it pertains to recruitment and branding, and the second segment will contain two breakout sessions which will dig deeper into topics mentioned in the panel and include step-by-step applications. There will also be a keynote presentation, delivered by Elliot Clark, CEO of HRO Today Magazine & SharedXpertise. Since the event will be held at JSTN's studio headquarters in Aurora, Illinois (about 45 minutes west of Chicago), attendees will get the added bonus of getting a "behind the scenes" sneak peek of a television production studio.

"Oftentimes, new technology can seem overwhelming, but there are very easy-to-implement tools that HR professionals can use to make their strategy more successful," explained Lindsay Stanton, Chief Client Officer at JSTN. "The goal of this conference is to break down affordable, real-life applications. We want attendees to walk away from this with a sense of how this technology can actually make their jobs easier."

Stanton, along with eQuest's David Bernstein, will co-host one of the breakout sessions, "Ready, Aim, Hire - Leveraging the Power of Data-Driven Sourcing Strategies to Build Your Talent Pipelines." She will also be on the panel along with Kurt Heikkinen (Montage), John Hancock (Loop), Cory Phillips (TalentReef), and Travis Kessel (Edelman). Crystal Miller from AT&T will host the other breakout session, "The Ins and Outs of Going Social with Video."

New Continuum Holdings Corporation ("Continuum Data Centers") Announces 80,000 sq. ft. Suburban Chicago Tier III Data Center

Risk Aversion Data Center for the Chicago Colocation Marketplace

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) September 19, 2013

New Continuum Holdings Corporation (“NCHC”), a company formed by Eli D. Scher, and Gary Chaffin and Tom Chaffin of Continuum Data Centers (“CDC”), today announced it has entered into a long-term lease with purchase options on a TIER III+ data center asset in West Chicago, IL. In the new location, CDC, a leading Chicago provider of colocation and data center services, will provide enterprise customers with world class data centers that go beyond traditional colocation solutions. NCHC will operate under the Continuum brand.

Located at 603 Discovery Drive, the facility was originally built as a Tier III data center for occupancy in 2007, though the build was never completed. NCHC plans to complete the build-out to Tier III, fully redundant N+1 specifications, and begin installing customers in mid-summer 2014.

“Continuum plans to create the ultimate in risk aversion data centers in Chicago,” said Tom Chaffin, COO. “We will be leveraging our unique expertise in the Chicago market to deliver an 80,000 sq. ft. Tier III data center in the western suburbs. The new, highly secure, high density Tier III Chicago data center sits on approximately 20 acres with multiple power grids servicing the property (up to a combined 48 megawatts of power with future access to a third grid), atop massive amounts of fiber access, and within close proximity to the CME Aurora Data Center.” Mr. Chaffin continued, “The market for Tier III colocation in Chicago is one of the strongest in the nation, and we believe our product offering at the West Chicago facility addresses the many significant needs of customers. Moreover, the location of the facility relative to the new CME data center three miles away in Aurora provides an interesting alternative to financial firms looking to efficiently house their less latency sensitive applications.” Mr. Scher, Chairman and CEO of NCHC said, “I am thrilled to be working with Gary and Tom on this transaction. I am confident that together we can build on the strong foundation that CDC has established and deliver value and quality service to our customers for years to come.”

Unlike many of the data centers built in industrial areas or bounded by highways in the downtown Chicago area, the Continuum West Chicago data center location and infrastructure were planned and designed for complete disaster mitigation. The asset will have separate above ground fuel tanks and an on-premises pumping station for its standby generators providing 72 hours of continuous run time at full critical load. There are four 12,470 volt - 2.5 megawatt generators installed on the site, and the entire facility is cooled by a water based evaporation/recirculation plant. The cooling systems boast a total of 140,000 gallons from a four tank in-ground water system with four 700 ton chilling towers, and four 770 ton parallel turbines. The in-ground tanks use the earth’s natural cooling to reduce energy costs, and 4 free cooling heat exchangers further enhance efficiency. The facility has 18-foot clear height ceilings, steel doors, high density cabinet footprint, Kevlar and steel mesh lined concrete walls, I-Beam structural enhanced live load roof, and a fifteen zone pre-action VESDA fire suppression system. Additionally, each corner of the building has 4 x 4-inch fiber casings and there are two diverse fiber rooms and points of entry at each end of the building. Extensive security, including gated and bio-metric access, Level–III bullet resistant mantraps, and REX infrared interlocking doors, is prevalent throughout, with full featured NOC/SOC monitoring and control. Continuum plans to build six 900 sq. ft. private data center suites along with custom cage and full cabinet retail colocation space.

Continuum expects the facility to be completed mid-2014 with pre-sales and tours beginning this month.

About Continuum
Continuum Data Centers (“CDC”) is a multi-tenant data center operator in the western Chicago suburbs. The team at CDC has been at the forefront of the Chicago suburban colocation market for over 10 years, and has a track record of developing world class assets. The Company is currently re-developing to operate an 80,000 square foot, purpose-built, highly efficient Tier III+ facility in West Chicago, IL, and operates a Tier II facility in Lombard, IL. CDC develops or seeks to own assets which are differentiated by their geographic location or other inherent traits. In doing so, the Company aims to consistently provide its customers with superior risk aversion profiles. CDC’s team has the experience and expertise to manage the needs of a diverse customer base, including trading and financial firms requiring high-density, efficient computation, as well as Enterprise and Fortune 1000 companies and retail customers requiring primary colocation.

Aurora, CO (PRWEB) September 20, 2013

Building a successful career in geographic information systems (GIS) is not achieved overnight and requires time, preparation and a systematic approach to developing professional credentials and experience.

American Sentinel University’s new e-book, ‘Five Steps to Build Your GIS Career,’ offers insight about why it’s so important for GIS students to develop their professional credentials through five key steps to ensure their success in this field and is available for download at http://www.americansentinel.edu/blog/2013/09/03/five-steps-to-build-your-career/.

“The field of GIS offers extensive career opportunities, but there is a difference between filling a market need and building an actual career in GIS,” says Stephen McElroy, Ph.D., GIS program chair at American Sentinel University. Dr. McElroy says entering in a rapidly growing industry can be a great help, but doesn’t replace the work of developing the ability to profit from opportunities that professionals can create for themselves. He notes that taking a systematic approach to developing professional credentials is key.

Taking a Systematic Approach to GIS Career

‘Five Steps to Build Your GIS Career,’ is a must read for GIS students and professionals looking for a career change who want to be prepared to take advantage of the extensive career opportunities available for individuals who possess the technical and analytical skills to use location as a way to bring together vast amounts of data and then to find insights.

“The five steps profiled in our e-book provide a schematic framework that can be used to guide the professional development activities of students and career changers,” says Dr. McElroy. “Since there is no recipe for success, the typical journey involves reordering or skipping steps and mixing and matching professional development experiences. Success can be measured in many ways, so feel free to craft a unique GIS career plan that fits your specific goals and aspirations.”
