Data

  • Caught: Treasury leaker

    In a stunning exclusive for Conservative News Site, a Treasury leaker – alleged of seeking to take unconnected sets of data, plans, and communications to distribute anonymously via online networks – has now been spotted in a central London location.

    A suspect
    A suspect alleged of leaking Treasury data, plans, and communications without a stated reason why.

    The suspect is believed to have handled sensitive documents obtained by contacts in the prominent Department of State, but most of her sources are comprised of work only relevant to Departmental staff and colleagues.

    As investigations have revealed, her Internet activity suggests a willingness to provide information ‘drops’ at regular intervals on a continuous basis to people she may not necessarily know.

    Her ‘personalised’ service – involving direct messages, comments, and replies – is said to increase the likelihood of her disclosures being used nefariously, even against HM Treasury itself, because of intuitive know-now gained.

    Damage control

    Departments of State are often scrutinised for data leaks, and many members of the public believe information isn’t safe due to mishandling by hapless staff and a determination by criminals to get to it to use it illegally.

    However, while some documentation is recorded as having been lost each year, the Government has such vast stores of data that a set of files is hardly the point.

    The problem is insightful analysis that a bad document handler, such as this suspect, may be able to provide in addition to releases that contain snapshots of data such as names, numbers, and places.

  • A look at data doesn’t make a criminal

    The idea criminals act off basic information isn’t absurd. It’s more likely a nasty bully at school will. The details about us necessary for crime can be seen on our bodies. Conversely, researchers now find that those who hold data on us are likely to be the more responsible.

    By example, the UN is constantly rated as having the most comprehensive picture of world people’s but is also less noted in Policing and crime investigations than others. The perception of people in their deviancy is first contrived and then applied. It’s not easy to launch whole scale attacks without world-beating technology.

    A ‘word cloud’ showing insights of the UN at its top-level for use in its official work.

    The real question is the coverage of such large organisations, or what it means for human safety. Are staff reasonable, actions safe, and motives clear? The work of international staff is a field of play for the intelligent or a canvas for the criminal. It couldn’t be spontaneous for the first, or opportunistic for the second.

    A good look at their knowledge with applied tests can determine these answers. It’s the same in academia, business environments, and political offices. The results show how a person has been motivated, what made them think, and who they most admire. These insights reveal real character, not a reputation.

  • World exclusive: Hamas “Data Tag” recovered

    In a world exclusive for Conservative News Site, a “Data Tag” believed to belong to the terror group Hamas has been recovered. It had been kept in a secure storage location by the group in case of capture of key leaders or defeat in a battlefield.

    It’s believed to have hacking qualities, meaning its use is found in compromising data held on the group by law enforcement agencies specifically. This is to confuse cross-working partnerships.

    An emerging trend

    A similar device was located in Dover last year that exposed some of the motive of Dover Crossings criminal Sarah Kaplan, but also fitted into an overall image of suspicion against her character.

    If identified appropriately, these are key pieces of evidence for material forensic investigators to use in complex fields of inquiry. It’s believed criminals use these to add a record level to activity between their gangs, alongside others.

  • China data hack shows some remain unafraid

    The news that a small number of hackers may have compromised an important computer centre in China isn’t a surprise to those who study data security and can track illegal compromises of systems.

    While it’s not believed that a straightforward remote attempt is enough to reach sensitive material, it still shows that those who hide behind a screen have little fear of real people and places.

    China is a threat in real terms, but also in the digital world, and such an attempt is still a brave effort to get past extensive security measures to challenge a world leader in technology development.

    These people are willing to do it because of the culture of hacking and also handling of data on back channels. It’s pumped with an anger and bravado at those who think they can keep a system secure.

  • Exclusive: “Storm Shadow” agent

    In an exclusive for Conservative News Site, a so-called “Storm Shadow” agent in the security sector has been spotted.

    A suspect caught in Reading alleged of hostile data gathering.

    He provides hostile “Deep Intelligence” to groups like Private Equity Firms. It’s used to make purchases.

    The practice is considered illegal in most developed countries. It’s believed hostile states still engage in such activity.
