Rispetto alla prima versione, lo studio, oltre ad offrire un'approfondita analisi degli aspetti strategici delle cyber-armi e della creazione di cyber-armamenti, si concentra principalmente nell'aggiornare, approfondire e migliorare la definizione legale di ''cyber-arma'', soprattutto alla luce delle evoluzioni sopracitate, nonché di analizzare i principali malware che nell'ultimo anno hanno dominato la scena della sicurezza informatica e delle informazioni, dando loro una specifica qualificazione giuridica alla luce della nuova definizione proposta.

In 2012, the IC3 received and processed 289,874 complaints, averaging more than 24,000 complaints per month. Unverified losses reported to IC3 rose 8.3 percent over the previous year.
A new section in this year’s report includes charts for each of the 50 states detailing demographic, complaint, and dollar-loss data. The section allows for easy comparisons and convenient reference.
Additional content includes frequently reported Internet crimes, case highlights, and graphs that explain the lifecycle of a complaint. The most common complaints received in 2012 included FBI impersonation e-mail scams, various intimidation crimes, and scams that used computer “scareware” to extort money from Internet users.
The report gives detailed information about these and other commonly perpetrated scams in 2012.

No one knows quite what would happen if a country suffered a full-fledged cyberattack, despite the plethora of skirmishes. While cyberattack capabilities cannot easily be used to shape the behavior of others, this does not mean they cannot be used at all.

This RAND's Corporation report explores ways that cyberattack capabilities can be ''brandished'' and under what circumstances. It then goes on to examine the obstacles and sketches out some realistic limits on the expectations.

The FBI sees four primary malicious actors in the cyber world: foreign intelligence services, terrorist groups, organized criminal enterprises, and hacktivists.

The FBI recognized the significance of the cyber threat more than a decade ago and created the Cyber Division in 2002 to combat cyber-based terrorism, hostile foreign intelligence operations conducted over the Internet, and cyber crime by applying the highest level of technical capability and investigative expertise. Since then, the FBI elevated the cyber threat to its number three national priority—after only counterterrorism and counterintelligence—and significantly increased the hiring of technically trained agents, analysts, and forensic specialists.

The need to prevent attacks is also a key reason the FBI had redoubled the efforts to strengthen his cyber capabilities while protecting privacy, confidentiality, and civil liberties. The FBI’s Next Generation Cyber Initiative, launched in 2012, is an FBI-wide initiative to enhance the FBI's ability to address the full range of cybersecurity threats to the nation. Implementation of this initiative is focused in four areas:
1. strengthening the National Cyber Investigative Joint Task Force (NCIJTF);
2. expanding the Cyber Task Forces focused on intrusions in each of FBI's 56 field offices;
3. advancing the capability of the cyber workforce and supporting enterprise infrastructure; and
4. enhancing information sharing and operational collaboration with the private sector.

In the future, the FBI will continue to strengthen the NCIJTF, which will include expediting analysis of interagency holdings and perfecting the coordination model on incident response and threat disruption operations.

Another critical element of the FBI’s success will be the restructuring and expansions of the FBI’s network of field office Cyber Task Forces (CTFs), which emulate the successful Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) model, such that each office has a robust multi-disciplinary, cross-program, and multi-agency domestic ground team to conduct cyber threat investigations and respond to significant cyber incidents.

The report described China’s primary goal as stealing industrial technology, but said many intrusions also seemed aimed at obtaining insights into American policy makers’ thinking. It warned that the same information-gathering could easily be used for ''building a picture of U.S. network defense networks, logistics, and related military capabilities that could be exploited during a crisis.''
But the Pentagon's report also describes a China that has now leapt into the first ranks of offensive cybertechnologies. It is investing in electronic warfare capabilities in an effort to blind American satellites and other space assets, and hopes to use electronic and traditional weapons systems to gradually push the United States military presence into the mid-Pacific nearly 2,000 miles from China’s coast.

Developed by the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy and the Defense Intelligence Agency, the report is U.S. DOD’s authoritative statement on North Korea’s current and future military power.

The report also assesses the cyber cababilities of North Korean military power.
In particular, the report said North Korea probably has a military computer network operations capability.
North Korea may view computer network operations as an appealing platform from which to collect intelligence, the report added, and the nation has been implicated since 2009 in cyberattacks ranging from computer network exploitation to distributed denial of service attacks.

In these forecasts I focused the attention especially ''on electronic control systems on civil and military aircraft'' and on ''air traffic and airspace control systems'' cyber-threats.

From forecast to reality, yesterday at the ''Hack In The Box'' conference in Amsterdam Hugo Teso, a security consultant at n.runs AG in Germany, made an extremely well attended talk about the completely realistic scenario of plane hijacking via a simple Android app.

By taking advantage of two new technologies for the discovery, information gathering and exploitation phases of the attack, and by creating an exploit framework (SIMON) and an Android app (PlaneSploit) that delivers attack messages to the airplanes' Flight Management Systems (computer unit + control display unit), Mr. Teso has demonstrated the terrifying ability to take complete control of aircraft by making virtual planes.

If you missed it, I really suggest to download the slides of Mr. Teso's talk here:

In this study, Bockel advocated stronger cooperation on cyber-security between the public and the private sectors.

The network of cyber-defence reservists, made up of about 40 citizens, will be expected to help in ''raising awareness, debating and suggesting, organising and establishing events that contribute to making cyberdefence a national priority.''

The network is divided into six workgroups: one will gather ''selected journalists and individuals interested in the emergence of cyber-defence culture'', while a second will be focused on raising awareness of cyber-defence issues among young people.
Two others will look at enterprises - one will target SMEs, the other large businesses - but both will have the same aim of raising awareness.
A fifth group will be focused on ''supporting strategic thinking and technical innovation at universities, laboratories and think tanks'', while the final workgroup will be focused on the ''evolution of citizen involvement'', contributing to ''thoughts on the possible evolution of a specific reserve [force] dedicated to cyber-defence''.
