Coup de filet on a network of bank card fraud

The FBI and authorities around the world conducted the arrest of 24 suspects in a network of bank card fraud.

After two years of investigation, the FBI agents posing as pirates have analyzed how real pirates are to retrieve credit card numbers and to share then. According to Reuters, this network of credit card traffic generates almost 205 million dollars in damages with not less than 411 000 numbers exchanged on specialized forums.

It is the largest ever made to date in this area, successful NET through the coordination of all of the authorities of the world. Eleven suspects have been arrested in the United States and thirteen other divided between Britain and the Japan. The investigations also to better understand the flaws of the system and the conclusions have been provided to the institutions that are better able to protect themselves in the future. For now, the official release does, neither banks nor credit card providers, who have been affected.

The method used to obtain the identity of the criminal is not in the habits of the authorities since they opened a forum in June 2010 under the banner "Carder Profit" is traded stolen credit card numbers. Last may, the forum was cut and the identities of offenders have been identified for the latest stop.

The 24 arrested suspects are ages 18 to 25 and can receive 1,000,0000 a sentence up to 40 years in prison. Two of them, arrested in New York, are also already passed before a judge in Manhattan and were released on bail to $ 50,000 one, and $ 20,000 the other. We now look to learn more about the societies affected by these vulnerabilities.

The 4 G, born dead mobile network?

The LTE, Long Term Evolution, new fourth generation mobile network, could have problems of fragmentation, making it less attractive.

In a study of the development of the LTE group Wireless Intelligence, carried out in the world, we will have 38 different bands for LTE, fourth generation of mobile network support. The fragmentation of this new technology can pose several problems ultimately.

Fragmentation of the LTE frequencies between 2011 and 2015

First concerned, operators who will have to accept to be elbow to elbow on the frequency bands, they are historically acquired or recently purchased. "Conflicts" may occur, primarily on the 700 MHz band. Is cited the case in the United States, of Verizon who will take the band 746 to 787 MHz while its competitor will operate the 704-746 MHz band, which could make more difficult the transition from a network to another. A small scale, is fully manageable by the operators, but the support of 38 frequencies is more problematic.

Second problem: roaming abroad. Indeed, if the phone supports only the operator its 4 G network, it will be difficult to support all the frequencies of all the countries of the world with the LTE with this mobile phone. Even if this can be corrected at the level of software in the antenna relay for the standardization of frequencies, what chips for mobile phones which are limited on the number of frequencies supported?

Finally, a recurrent information returns: the LTE frequencies would disrupt the GPS signals, even those of the TNT, which is not without many problems currently. Because it is still expected that more than 200 LTE networks in more than 70 countries are deployed by 2015. Hope that a global regulation could be affixed to all this, without which the future of 4 G might darken...

Farewell WiFi: a network led reached 800 Mb/s

October 2008, researchers from the Boston University's College of Engineering evoke the idea of a network of wireless communication using radio waves as WiFi or 3 G but simply light - a luminous walrus of the 21st century in a way not not. Their prototypes peak at 10 Mbps. 2011: the idea made its way and was taken over by the OMEGA European research program. The flows reach almost 1 Gb/s in the laboratory.

The principle of this network is very simple: the data are transmitted in the form of the flashing light-emitting diodes (LED) very high frequency. As on optical fiber, multiplying flows by adding several wavelengths through red, green, blue and white LEDs. In the end, this network has many advantages:

extremely simple installation in a House: just replace the bulbs by LEDinsensibilité interference électromagnétiquesaucune electromagnetic pollution, a point important to electro, aircraft or equipment médicauxfaible énergieun consumption only transmitter can serve several customers, without the necessary bandwidth multiplication (broadcastsécurité since the communication is possible in the cone of illumination of the transmitter)

Of course, also can find many drawbacks, the most obvious being the need to maintain direct visibility of the receptor by the issuer and to maintain the lit lamp. These two conditions are met however in many environments such as offices in open space, restaurants, etc.

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute (HHI) manage to maintain a flow of 125 Mb/s with components at low cost and simple encoding on / off. With LEDs most efficient avalanche and a WDM modulation, they reach 800 Mb/s. This network will be showcased at the next IFA in Berlin in September.

How to connect a washing machine in network?

It is based on the principle that the timers for washing machines are not reliable as a member of the fellowship of fsfe blog started in mind to link his machine to his computer.

He wanted no more making roundtrips to his basement to check the progress of his laundry. This excess of laziness, this Fellow created Laundruino.

The name equates to the Arduino, a printed circuit board open source used by the Builder of fellowship of fsfe. At the end of a cycle, the experience machine lights Led. He therefore replaced this Led by installing a specially bricolé Arduino in his place. With an Ethernet Jack, this Assembly is connected to its local network. It sends two signals: a reliable indicates that the machine is complete while another higher indicates that it is operating or hydrated. -Side computer, this information appear by connecting on the IP address of the machine, as below.

From a perspective of sharing, the code was in line with the explanations necessary at this address. The idea would be to develop this process to apply to the laundry to receive an SMS when his machine completed!
