Using Active Breach Detection Against Advanced Attackers
Attackers can launch unlimited intrusion attempts, consequence-free, until they
find a successful technique to circumvent a target company's prevention systems.
This paper shows how to flip the odds on attackers and stop them after they have
managed to access your network.

How infosec can really shine
Don't be a pessimist — your information security organization can be a real
success. I've seen it.

Researchers show how to steal Windows Active Directory credentials from the Internet
An attack using the SMB file sharing protocol thought to work only in local area
networks can also be executed over the Internet, two researchers showed at Black
Hat.

Internal LTE/3G modems can be hacked to help malware survive OS reinstalls
With their own dedicated processor and operating system, LTE/3G modems built
into new business laptops and tablets could be a valuable target for hackers by
providing a stealthy way to maintain persistent access to an infected device.

Hackers show off long-distance Wi-Fi radio proxy at DEF CON
A talk about a radio-based privacy device dubbed ProxyHam that promised to allow
hackers to connect to Wi-Fi networks from as far as 2.5 miles away was abruptly
pulled from the DEF CON schedule by its creator a few weeks ago.
http://cwonline.computerworld.com/t/9253224/1592880030/751000/36/?c1e998ea=Y29tcHV0ZXJ3b3JsZF9zZWN1cml0eQ%3d%3d&03f17c32=MDBlNmE3YzFiODA1Zjc4YjczNjk3MThjMDhhZjM2NTE%3d&x=967bdda0
Def Con: How to virtually kill someone or cash in on fake babies
Thanks to an 'end of life' vulnerability, almost anyone can easily kill you off
digitally. Imagine the nightmare of trying to get an official ID then. The
virtual birthing process is even easier to exploit.

Attack on Sabre reportedly conducted by Anthem, OPA hackers
Travel industry software maker Sabre is the latest company said to have been hit
by the same hackers who recently attacked U.S. health insurer Anthem and the
U.S. Office of Personnel Management, while American Airlines has been
investigating its own systems for evidence of a similar breach.
