TSCM & VoIP Vulnerabilities
There are a lot of businesses we service with our Technical Surveillance Counter-Measure (TSCM) services that could be taking advantage of there IP infrastructure and encrypting VoIP communications to secure VoIP telephone.
It is easy enough to inspect a VoIP telephone and to connect a Time Domain Reflectometer to a data cable to check for taps, bridges or splices along the cable, although to run these tests involves disconnecting any power source from the data cables so the Time Domain Reflectometer can be used to inject a signal into the data cable for further analysis.
It is practical to use an encrypted data transmission pathway for VoIP secure telephone communications.
With encrypted data transmissions, one doesn't need to continually check data cables that need power isolated in a Technical Surveillance Counter-Measures inspection.
There are some problems with VoIP latency and encrypted data transmission makes the latency period slightly longer for data transfer, although this is improving.
Here is an interesting article below relating to hacking IP voice & video in real time which shows you how easily the process is undertaken.
Regular TSCM servicing can't guarantee protection against real time hacking of the IP infrastructure; this is why encrypted data transmissions should be used.

=============================================
Corporate video conferences can still be easily hacked by insiders using a freeware tool that allows attackers to monitor calls in real-time and record them in files suitable for posting on YouTube. more

Forensic Protection - The Evidence Is In The Details
In the last 12 months we have been contacted 6 times regarding information about a business that examines & improves audio recordings to be used as evidence in court.
Today I had contact from the owner of the business Forensic Protection. The business owner wanted to let us know about the helpful services they are providing in examining & improving audio & video.
The business has a forensic lab that enhances video clips, audio files & still images. The team can dramatically improve video resolution and clarity, and they are extremely skilled at cleaning up audio recordings, even when the subjects have intentionally obscured their voices.
Their volume balancing and voice recognition filters raise the target voices so they become the dominant sounds.
With video, the team stabilizes shaky video, brightens dark scenes, corrects out of focus issues, increases detail, and extracts images that support the evidentiary narrative. Because they filter away unwanted noise, rather than "enhance" in new details, their work is much clearer and holds up under the toughest court challenges.
When a recording needs improvement, you can use the Forensic Protection web site to upload an exact copy to Forensic Protection servers and then receive the finished work in a few days, not weeks.
Why not keep this resource close by for those times when an audio or video recording needs closer examination.
Please visit the web site link below where you can view the Forensic Protection web site and learn more.
You can also find the Forensic Protection web site link in the Forensics category of our Investigative Resources web pages of the PJL web site. The lower web site link will take you to the Forensic Protection web site as well.

TOP 10 ANTI-SCAM Unique Skill For Online Shopping
With the rapid development of e-commerce, the network scam become more and more rampant. According to the report of U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) , phishing caused losses from 265 million dollars in 2008 rose to 560 million dollars in 2009. Since 2004, we have been engaged in e-commerce 7 years, have done struggle with a variety of scams, accumulated rich experience in scam prevention. For the healthy development of e-commerce, to maintain the credibility of honest merchant, we conclude the following 10 unique anti-scam skill, let scams nowhere to hide.
1. Check Domain register information
As we know, great company always exist a long time, an old website is more secure than new. How can you tell a website is new or old? Click here you can get the site domain register information: http://whois.domaintools.com/, including register time, register name and business address. A scam will provide incomplete or false information and the site they register must be not long. Therefore, the longer the site was registered with more detailed register information, the higher credibility the site has.
2. Check whether they have business in authoritative third-party trading platform
In general, a good merchant will use authoritative third party trading platform selling products, this is a symbol of strength. Common third-party trading platform have Alibaba, eBay, Amazons, etc... These third-party trading platform are transparent and fair, especially the credibility of their evaluation system is perfect. You can obtain more objective information from them. For example, search business name Alibaba from Google, and you can confirm whether this site registered and its level.
3. Check whether they pass the third-party network security certification
McAfee and VeriSign are the world's most authoritative network security certification with strictly business identity confirm system, they frequently scan site, to ensure security of the site free of Trojan, viruses and other threats. Don't choose a site without such certification logo. (Note: Many sites, just hang a symbol, not been authenticated, you should be especially careful.)
4. Check whether exist price trap
Don't believe "sth falls into one's lap" , when meet a product incredible far below market price, they will produce the impulse to buy. Please remember high price doesn't necessarily lead to a high-quality product, as the same low price doesn’t means the high-quality too. Maybe the product is defective, imitate products or they will not delivery. Except an honest merchant may clearance, discount, offer coupons.
5. Check whether they support PayPal payment
PayPal is a payment that tend to protect buyer in trading. If a customer does not receive goods or received goods does not match with the description, he can initiate a dispute within 45 days and get full refund without any excuses. Moreover, the frequent complaints by customers, or fake and shoddy products will lead to his PayPal account frozen soon. Therefore, choose companies who support PayPal payment is more secure.
6. Check whether they support Business Bank Account payment
An excellent online shopping site, must have the local government legal business license, and they will have a business bank account. Otherwise, it is personal business. When you do a large wholesale business which involving in large order, please pay to the company bank account, in order to get better protection of the law.
7. Check whether they have customer interaction platform

Listening Device Detection - Keep You Secrets Safe
The news is full of stories of high profile information leaks. Whether it's gossip about an A-list celebrity, secrets from a company boardroom, or private memos from the office of a high ranking politician.
Information thieves are unscrupulous and will take whatever measures necessary to secure a story they can sell. There are plenty of people willing to pay too. Stolen secrets can be sold for big bucks to the media, competitors and conmen, all of whom will use them to make a small fortune.
The fact that acquiring this information is getting easier does not help matters. Electronic listening devices are more advanced, smaller, cheaper and easier to use than ever before. Micro cameras, audio recorders and GPS bugs are easily bought and within everyone's budget these days.
The variety and low cost of eavesdropping devices available also means they can be positioned in multiple locations to keep targets under almost permanent surveillance. So even if you think you have detected and disabled a bug, there may well be several more hidden around the area.
A standard telephone line can be tapped by a simple radio bugging device. These are probably one of the cheapest listening devices available and are used to pick up both sides of a telephone conversation in real time. Radio based listening devices can also be used to pick up conversations taking place in a room. The latest microphone technology and design gives these bugs a listening range of up to about 7 metres.
Most recently the biggest threat to privacy has been through the emergence of global system for mobile communications (GSM) devices. GSM devices take advantage of the global nature of the mobile telephone network to relay audio from a target's room to a phone anywhere in the world. As opposed to radio based devices, these bugs have greater flexibility as they can use a land-line, cellular or even Skype telephone connections.
More high-tech advances in electronic eavesdropping have been made with fibre optic microphones and laser microphone systems. The construction of fibre optic microphones and the way in which they operate using light makes them pretty much invisible to the human eye. A perfect choice for a eavesdroppers wanting to pick up high quality audio without detection.
Laser microphone systems are even harder to detect. They don't have to be deployed within the target area, but from a location within line of sight of the target. They use invisible laser technology to reflect and collect room audio as it resonates off hard surfaces in the room. These types of system are very expensive and are often made to resemble fairly innocent looking equipment as cameras or telescopes.
Unfortunately it's unusual to spot a bug until a leak has occurred. However, by taking sensible steps anyone who feels under threat can protect their private and confidential communications.
Adopting regular professional bug sweeps of properties, offices, boardrooms, vehicles and electronic communication devices where confidential or sensitive information is communicated is advisable.
During these bug sweeps, counter surveillance professionals carry out electronic and physical inspections of areas deemed to be under threat of listening devices. Once found they are removed and the area made safe.
By enlisting the regular help of bug sweeping professionals you are also securing your long term security as they keep themselves abreast of the many technical developments in electronic eavesdropping.
