Cybercriminals Ramp Up Activity Ahead of 2014 World Cup
Attackers Have High Hopes for Success Around 2014 World Cup
Similar to the Sochi 2014 Olympics and all other major sporting events before it, the FIFA World Cup 2014 in Brazil is being leveraged by cybercriminals and scammers as a means to lure victims for their attacks.
In recent months, several security vendors have published advisories about the various scams, phishing and malware operations that target Internet users interested in the World Cup. While individuals from all over the world have been targeted, many of the malicious campaigns focus on Brazil and neighboring South American countries.
Cybercriminals are relying on the FIFA World Cup to trick users into installing malware on their computers. Trend Micro discovered a campaign targeting customers of a Brazilian ticketing website, where the attackers managed to obtain the personal details of the site's users and sent them fake raffle emails containing links to the BANLOAD banking Trojan.
Trend Micro's researchers also stumbled upon a BLADABINDI backdoor disguised as a FIFA World Cup streaming application, and a piece of adware (ADW_INSTALLREX) disguised as a key generator for the FIFA 14 video game.
Symantec has also spotted at least two major spam runs used to distribute malware. In one of the campaigns, cybercriminals promise users free tickets to 2014 World Cup in Brazil to lure them into installing a version of the DarkComet remote administration tool (RAT) on their systems. The second operation leverages the reputation of soccer player Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior and relies on a maliciously crafted Word document to deliver malware.
Additionally, researchers from Trustwave's SpiderLabs spotted a malicious advertisement on the website of Brazilian sports newspaper Lance (lancenet.com.br). According to experts, the attackers abused a zero-day in Adobe Flash Player (CVE-2014-0515) to deliver malware to the site's visitors.
Mobile users are also being targeted as well, with security firm AVAST reporting that it has come across several suspicious soccer-related apps on Google Play. Some of them are blank applications designed only to display advertisements, while others request a suspiciously large number of permissions when installed.
Jovi Umawing, Malware Intelligence Analyst at Malwarebytes, told SecurityWeek that cybercrooks could also resort to fake mobile apps just like they did during the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
"Organizers of the event released a game app that allowed users to take part of the said sporting event in a unique way by giving them the chance to play as their favorite players, win competitions, and receive their own digital gold medals," Umawing explained.
"The criminals packaged their malicious mobile app as the free version of the real thing. It was a Boxer malware, which typically sends SMS messages to premium numbers. We could see a similar malware campaign related to the World Cup, so netizens should be on their guard at all times."
2014 FIFA World Cup phishing websites have been around since 2013. Most of these sites advertise various promotions and contests in which users can allegedly win match tickets, trips to Brazil and other prizes. The catch is that they have to provide personal and financial information to supposedly get the chance to win.
"The most common online threat using FIFA World Cup as bait is phishing. Links to phish sites may come in a spam mail or social media post. We haven't seen any FIFA mails yet, but we have certainly seen criminals acting on behalf of FIFA organizers and Electronic Arts in social media," Umawing told SecurityWeek.
Kaspersky Lab highlighted the fact that cybercriminals are leveraging the name of renowned people and organizations to make their schemes appear more legitimate. In May, Kaspersky reported detecting and blocking 50-60 fake Brazilian sites each day.
In addition to spreading malware, Brazilian cybercriminals are acquiring SSL certificates, which they're using not only for websites, but also to sign Banking Trojans, Kaspersky has warned.
According to Kaspersky, cybercriminals have acquired SSL certificates from certificate authorities like Comodo, EssentialSSL, Starfield and Register.com to gain the trust of potential victims.
"Cybercriminals built professionally looking websites, bought genuine SSL certificates and even paid Google to advertise their sites via Google Ads. Even people who say 'I don't go to suspicious websites' may become an easy victim," Dmitry Bestuzhev, head of Kaspersky's Global Research and Analysis Team, Latin America, told SecurityWeek.
Malwarebytes has spotted fake Twitter accounts apparently operated by EA Sports and FIFA for the 2014 FIFA World Cup, with the goal of luring users to EA Sports phishing websites.
"The criminals used imitation Twitter support channels, interjecting themselves into conversations and directing unaware victims to phishing pages. This is the first time we've seen scammers do that," Umawing told SecurityWeek via email.
Scams and spam
Not surprisingly, a large number of phony websites have been created by scammers over the past months. Trend Micro has come across a fake website selling tickets at prices almost 4000% higher than the price on FIFA's official website.
"[This scam was] particularly interesting as it was set up to work in multiple countries and languages," Jon Clay, Sr. Manager of Threat Research at Trend Micro, told SecurityWeek. "Multiple domains within different countries were used and were hosted within a major hosting providers infrastructure."
"Spam and phishing emails are particularly common with spam being used to sell merchandise and phishing to steal credentials. Phishing websites are often used for ticket scams and other items in an effort to steal credit card data. Online ticket scams are also a big option as there are games going on all over the world to take advantage of," Clay explained.
Hacktivist Attacks
Anonymous hackers in Brazil began protesting against the World Cup more than 6 months ago. The hacktivists are unhappy with the high amounts of money that the Brazilian government spent around the World Cup, which they believe could have been used for more pressing issues that affect citizens.
In addition to targeting Brazilian government websites, hacktivists have threatened companies that sponsor the World Cup, including Coca Cola, Visa, Sony, Adidas, Emirates airlines, Budweiser and McDonald's.
"Regardless of threat profile, an event of this magnitude must have a heightened level of readiness to a physical or cyber security related event. By the time a group like this makes a public announcement, much of the infiltration phase has already been done. These threat actors are smart and they don't start to show their cards until they are well into the operational phase of their campaign," TK Keanini, the CTO of Lancope, told SecurityWeek.
Keanini appears to be right. Individuals involved in the hacktivist operation have told Reuters that they've already tested the systems of their targets for vulnerabilities.
"When we consider the World cup and the level of talent competing, it helps us frame the challenges many face in cybersecurity. It is not as much about the technology (the shoes, the ball, etc.), as it is about the game play and talent where as soon as one side makes a mistake, it is exploited by the other team," Keanini added.
"This is the same thing that happens in cybersecurity and in some cases, the adversaries have an overwhelming advantage in terms of talent. Businesses have to have this gaming frame of mind when they build their cybersecurity practice - it is about the game play, not the technology."
At least some of the cyberattacks targeting FIFA World Cup 2014 sponsors and partners will likely be distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
"Distributed denial of service attacks often come into play in public controversies and protests, and it's no secret that there is a great deal of controversy surrounding the World Cup in Brazil. At this point, preparation for denial of service attacks should be standard practice for any organization with a large, mission critical presence on the web," Tom Cross, Lancope director of security research, told SecurityWeek.
"However, every organization with an Internet network can do their part to make sure that they don't have services running on their network that can be leveraged by attackers for traffic reflection and amplification. DNS servers, NTP servers, SNMP services, Voice of IP Services and XML-RPC ping back services in particular should be checked to make sure that they don't provide a spring board for denial of service attacks."
Other threats
Those who plan on visiting Brazil should be careful when making payments with their credit card and when withdrawing money at ATMs. There are a number of ways fraudsters can steal payment card data from World Cup attendees.
First of all, they can do it with the aid of skimming devices installed at ATMs. Brazil has the largest number of ATMs in the world, so fraudsters have plenty to choose from.
Malware can also be used to target banks and their customers. Some threats, also known as "jackpot" malware, are planted on ATMs with USB sticks and enable fraudsters to remove all the money from the machines. Other types of malware, like the "Chupa Cabra malware" (Trojan-Spy.Win32.SPSniffer), are installed on PoS and PIN pad devices and they're capable of harvesting Track 1 data (credit card number, expiration date, service code and CVV) from the payment cards.
In addition to ATMs and PoS devices, cybercriminals are also targeting wireless Access Points (APs).
"WiFi networks are pretty important for most of travelers since LTE or 3G roaming data is pretty expensive, they just look for any available WiFi network and stop thinking is they are secured or not. Such unknown and open WiFi networks even if they belong to the coffee shops, malls and others are potentially dangerous since the data (network packets) travels unencrypted and maybe intercepted by cybercriminals," explained Bestuzhev.
Bestuzhev told SecurityWeek that Kaspersky Lab analyzed around 6,000 different APs located in Sao Paulo and found that there is a big risk of becoming a victim to such attacks, as 26% of all networks were completely open, and 12% had weak security that could be broken in a matter of minutes.
The World Cup is a highly anticipated event that creates enormous waves of network traffic all over the world, Sam Glines, CEO of cloud-based threat intelligence solutions provider Norse, told SecurityWeek.
"Criminal organizations love events like this, because targets tend to be numerous and highly concentrated around a few predictable websites (FIFA, broadcasters, etc). Anxiety leading up to the events themselves can lead network managers hastily add capacity with less-than-great security rigor, ironically making some of the most obvious targets easier to hack," Glines explained.
"Finally the abnormally high Internet traffic can make it tougher for even well-prepared security organizations to recognize and stop data thefts in-progress," Glines said. "Whether it's employees streaming the matches on their work laptop, execs buying tickets online to the games themselves, or major sponsors buying billions of banner-ad impressions to propagate their brand, individuals and companies need to be extra careful around this time."

Bass to move you - without it costing a fortune.
If there's one thing which everyone wants in a car sound system, it's deep bass. The amount of the bass is the major criterion which many people use to judge the quality of sound - can it really shake you, or do you just hear the notes? Do the sounds of the bass drum cause the images in the mirrors to blur into nothingness and send signals to those walking the sidewalk that you're around - or is it more like just a wet fart? You might know what results you want, but going into the nearest car sound supermarket without any idea of how you can get it can sometimes mean that you shell out thousands of dollars - to get a system which may or may not work.
Here we'll show you how to go about the design of a sub which will be effective and won't cost you an arm and a leg. But take note that we're writing this series for 'semi-normal' people - if we can put it that way. If you want to listen to hundreds of dB from an ear-bleeding distance of 10cm, you're bound to be disappointed with what follows. But on the other hand, if you like listening to music with a good range of kick, then this will be right for you.
Before we get into subwoofer enclosure design, you need to know something about how a speaker works. If you don't, then the salesperson can (and probably will) tell you anything to sell you expensive bits.
A speaker operates by moving its cone back and forth. When the cone pushes forward it creates a high pressure wave which travels through the air, and when it moves back it causes a low pressure wave - sometimes called a 'rarefaction'. The ear picks up these air pressure waves and turns them into sounds. The speed with which the cone moves will determine the pitch of the sound heard by the ear. If the cone is vibrating slowly - like back and forth say 50 times a second - then a deep note will be heard. Higher pitched sounds are made by the cone vibrating more quickly - 1000 times a second (expressed as 1000 Hertz) is a squeal, 8,000Hz is a screech, and 15,000Hz is higher than many people can hear at all.
Since we're interested in bass, we'll stick to discussing the frequencies below 150Hz. A woofer - which is a large speaker designed to work at low frequencies - will sound lousy if it is not mounted correctly. Foremost is the need to separate the front and rear of the speaker. To see why this is needed, imagine a bare woofer sitting on a bench. The speaker is being driven by a powerful amp, and is running music with a lot of bass. The cone will visibly move forward and backwards with the music, but the bass will be lousy. The reason for this is that when the cone moves forward, a 'proper' pressure wave in the air isn't created. Instead, the air simply moves around the edges of the speaker frame, filling up the low pressure area created behind the cone. When the cone moves back again, the air flows the other way. Instead of pumping bass into the room, all the cone is doing is pumping air around its edges.
Separating the front and rear of the speaker doesn't mean that the driver must be in a sealed box - although that is one approach that works well. The separation of the pressure waves needs to occur acoustically, and in fact the enclosure design may well allow air to flow from the back of the speaker out the front through a port. But - and this is a key point - the enclosure needs to be designed so that the rear pressure waves add to the sound, not cancel it out. If you figure that this sort of design exercise isn't achievable by buying a no-name woofer, mounting it a box which your cousin made to store his tools in, and then cutting a vent hole in one end - well, you're right!
But if "a speaker operates by moving its cone back and forth", why can't all speakers reproduce sound down to, say, 20Hz? After all, it's easy enough to drive a cone at this frequency. The answer is that the cone must actually couple with the air: it must impart energy to the air so that the waves travel through it. And achieving this requires very tricky design - and the trickiest bit is the subwoofer enclosure.
Four major types of speaker boxes are used. (Note that in each case it doesn't matter how many drivers are put into the box, whether they're facing in or out, etc.).
In this type of box the sound waves coming from the back of the cone are effectively wasted. Instead of contributing to the sound that moves you, they're dissipating in the acrylic fluffy lining inside the sealed box. However, while this type of box produces less SPL (ie they are less efficient on a watts per dB basis) they are easy to make, have only a gradual bass drop-off as the notes get lower (and that drop-off can be counter-balanced by the rise in bass response that occurs within the closed confines of a car), and can potentially handle more power than a ported enclosure.
The effects of mismatching the speaker and its enclosure is also less severe when a sealed design is used, so if you have a driver of unknown specs, a sealed box is generally the only way to go. You can recognise a sealed box design easily - there are no openings in the box except for the driver(s).
A briefly mentioned above, a ported enclosure additionally makes use of the energy coming from the back of the cone. It does this by using a connecting port (or vent) that joins the inside of the box with the outside. The port diameter and length are carefully sized so that the plug of air contained within the vent is excited into back and forth motion, but its movements are delayed just enough that when the cone of the driver is moving forward, so is the plug of air inside the port. In this way, the two air movements complement each other.
The advantages are twofold: firstly the efficiency of the system is greater (ie more SPL per watt of amp power), and secondly the bottom-end bass response of the system can be improved over the use of a sealed box. The downsides are that if the port isn't just right for the driver and box, boomy one-note bass can be the result, and even with well designed ported boxes, at ultra-low frequencies the cone of the woofer becomes unloaded - which can cause it to be destroyed if you're not careful in how you set up the system. And while the bass response holds on to lower notes, once it does start to fall away, it does so more quickly than with a sealed enclosure.
Ported designs can be easily recognised by the presence of one or more openings (usually round) that connect the other side of the driver to the atmosphere.
A passive radiator design is a relative unknown in car systems - but it doesn't have to be. This type of design uses a passive radiator (a driver without a magnet) to act as a port - the cone and its suspension moves back and forth like the plug of air within a port, but at no times can the main driver become completely unloaded as is the case in a ported enclosure. The disadvantage is that passive radiators are rare - and finding the detailed specs on them which are needed to do good designs even rarer!
A passive radiator design looks to have two drivers in a sealed box (sometimes by just examining the system you won't be able to tell that one of the 'drivers' is in fact a passive radiator) although the radiator is usually bigger than the woofer.
A bandpass design is a very tricky thing. Rather than producing frequencies from as high as the woofer can go - and then trailing them off at the other end as is determined by the enclosure design - a bandpass lets just a narrow spread of frequencies be emitted from the box. Because it is producing only frequencies from (say) 30 - 90Hz, it can be more efficient that the other box designs - it's concentrating all of its energies just in this narrow field of frequencies. All the sound comes from the ports, with the driver itself buried inside.
There is a variety of bandpass designs - some mount the driver on the division between two boxes and vent just one volume, while others vent both boxes. Still others connect one box to the other by means of a vent and then have a further vent in the first box. Bandpass boxes need very tricky design indeed, and if you're not careful either the frequency spread (the range of bass notes produced by the sub) or the efficiency (how loud it is for a given input power) can drop right down. In addition, the bandpass boxes are much more complex to make than other designs - there tends to be lots of pieces inside that need to be airtight, and fitting the ports inside the box can be a drama. However, get it right and you can have a loud and strong sub which is small and effective.
In a bandpass design the driver won't be visible (unless there's a plastic window fitted) - the speaker's cone does not connect directly with the air, except through a port.
The design of subwoofers has been revolutionised by PC design software. Using it can help shape answers to a lot of the above questions - it's easy enough to find out, for example, that your chosen driver will need an enclosure that is too big for your load-carrying aspirations, or that if you use a bandpass design you might need to beef-up the rest of the speakers to carry the response down to 100Hz.
In the next article we'll look at some sub designs using PC software packages like BassBox.

Q: Problems with buttons / grid in HTML/CSS i have problems with the setup of the buttons. I'm unsure if i need a grid system or not?
I want it to look like this example:

No code yet as i am unsure of where to start, and what to start with.
If somebody can help then hanks in advanced!

A: for sure a grid would perfectly work for your design. However,you don't explicitly need a grid to obtain that result. Css flexbox display (display:flex) would also work and maybe fit your needs. Even display: block would work.
If you need a web layout that only consists of rows or columns, then Flexbox is the best model to use. However, if you have a complex, multi-row and multi-column layout, then you'll want to use CSS Grid.
Have a look for more details: https://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2018/09/grid-vs-flexbox-which-should-you-choose/

Here is a simple set-up for your design with flexbox in mind:
Suppose your first component (logo and user profile) are inside one div. You can use display:flex and flex-direction: row to display them in one line, and justify-content: space-between so the elements fill the entire row.
Then you have 4 buttons. You can use another div and set the flex-direction to column. Change the width of the div and of the buttons as you need.
Basically, the last div would be similar to the first one.
For each div you can specify different width or height.

A: You can use with flex, justify-content, align-items like example below:

.wrapped {
 display: flex;
 flex-direction: column;
 align-items: center;
 width: 500px;
}

.avatar {
 width: 50px;
 height: auto;
}

button {
 width: 200px;
}

.div1 {
 display: flex;
 justify-content: center;
 padding: 10px;
}

.div2 {
 display: flex;
 flex-direction: column;
 padding: 10px;
}

.div2 button{
 width: 200px;
 margin: 6px;
 padding: 5px;
}

.div3 {
 display: flex;
 padding: 10px;
 margin-left: 0px;
 align-items: center;
}

.div3 button {
 width: 40px;
 height: 30px;
 margin-left: 160px;
}

.bell {
 width: 30px;
 padding: 10px;
 flex-basis: 1000px;
}

Juki Environmental Philosophy
Our environmental standards are the core of our buisness. Now more than ever it is vital for all people and businesses around the world to be conscious of the effect our day-to-day lives and work are having on the planet.
Juki takes this responsibility very seriously and in an effort to uphold ourselves and our products to the standards needed we have created the Juki Environmental Philosophy, an action plan to enact said philosophy and the Eco Products Certification.
Our Environmental Philosophy is to:
to the local community and society by environment-conscious activities
people around the world with environmentally friendly products
an active role to hand down a better global environment to future generations through continuous activities
What are Juki Eco Certified Products?
JUKI-ECO-Products
You might have seen the Eco Products Certification logo on different machines you have purchased but what does it mean?
When the JUKI Group manufactures products, it carefully considers the environment at every stage of the product lifecycle, from material procurement, manufacture, transportation, and use to recycling and disposal. We introduced the "JUKI ECO-PRODUCTS AUTHORIZATION SYSTEM" in March 2009, and we evaluate 38 assessment items relating to the environment at the development stage.
Only the product which achieved especially-high level environmental consideration is authorized as "JUKI ECO-PRODUCT."
Our action plan
To ensure we are doing all we can to in-act and uphold this philosophy we have created an action plan:
Prevent global warming by promoting energy-saving in all business activities and use resource efficiently by implementing the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle).
Provide products with less environmental load by planning, researching, developing, procuring, and manufacturing with environmental influences in mind.
Contribute to countries and regions by modifying environmental conservation activities to suit local conditions wherever Juki does business as a global company.
Observe environmental laws and other agreed requirements, and prevent environmental pollution. Actively disclose environmental information.
Raise "awareness of ecological problems" among employees through educational campaigns.
Green Logistics
The Juki group, as a leader in its industry, has been one of the first companies to promote CO2 reduction in the transportation of products.
In as early as April 2001, for example, we completely changed our method for transporting industrial sewing machines by containers. When shipping export products before, we used to transport the empty containers by truck from Tokyo or Yokohama port all the way back to our plant in Ohtawara City.
Now, we transport the containers only a short distance to our plant in Ohtawara City from the international cargo terminal in Utsunomiya city. Later, in November 2004, we introduced a new system for the round-trip transport of loaded containers by railroad in cooperation with Hitachi Transport System, Ltd. and Japan Freight Railway Company. Then, in April 2006, we began transporting products by rail between Akita and Tokyo/Yokohama. Through this last adjustment, we have reduced our CO2 emission by 1,687 tons per year.
We won't say "Trust us", we will show you that!
Need small introduction in 4-5 lines of text - this will create the mood of the success and overall tone of this section. Taking the opportunity of this block I will explain how the success stories will work - here we will list only 'sneak peak' versions of the stories, which will be separate articles or if you wish - landing pages (created using building blocks from the article section.) We won't show full stories here.
"We sell fashion, not clothing. In a world where fashions change every season, we choose the JUKI sewing machine to meet the exacting demands of our customers. Our mission, as Italy's top designer label, is to satisfy the customer demand for quality."

Weight Training for Teen Athletes: How often should you lift to get stronger?
The off-season is a crucial time to build strength for all athletes through weight training. It is when the least amount of time is spent in their sport, which should translate to more time devoted to strength and conditioning. One of the main goals is to build raw strength, which can then be refined with skill development and agility work.
So now, the real question is, how many times per week should an athlete lift in the off-season to get stronger?
Regardless of your approach, the off-season is the time for building muscular endurance and hypertrophy (growth) training, initially, and then strength and power as the pre-season gets closer.
Again, depending on the athlete's experience with lifting, and the strength training protocol that will be used, an off-season strength program can range from 2 days per week, to 6 days per week. A lower frequency of training is used for a beginner, at 2-3 days per week, an intermediate should train between 3-4 per week, and an advanced lifter should train between 4-6 days per week.
For a beginner, a typical resistance training protocol would be to complete two to three, full body routines, per week, with no more than three days of rest between training days. It is preferable for these workouts to be spaced apart so that there is not too much time elapsed between the last training day and the next training day, which can result in a decrease in the athlete's training status. For example, the athlete would train on a Monday and a Thursday, as opposed to Monday and Wednesday.
Amanda Maddalena has a Bachelor's Degree in Kinesiology, Exercise Science from SUNY Cortland and a Master's Degree in Exercise Physiology from the University of Central Florida. She is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through NSCA. Learn more about her on the Coach's Page.
