Naked Security Post: Huge Marriott breach puts 500 million victims at risk
Friday, November 30, 2018 at 11:51AM The company has created a website to deal with the breach at info.starwoodhotels.com (note that at the time of writing it redirects to answers.kroll.com).
Who’s affected?
The company warns that if you made a reservation at one of its Starwood brands in the last five years then you are at risk:
If you made a reservation on or before September 10, 2018 at a Starwood property, information you provided may have been involved.
According to Marriott, its Starwood brands include: Starwood branded timeshare properties, W Hotels, St. Regis, Sheraton Hotels & Resorts, Westin Hotels & Resorts, Element Hotels, Aloft Hotels, The Luxury Collection, Tribute Portfolio, Le Méridien Hotels & Resorts, Four Points by Sheraton and Design Hotels.
What data is at risk?
It seems that different guests may be subject to different levels of exposure, according to how much data they shared. Until you have successfully confirmed your level of exposure with Marriott, you should assume the worst.
Information put at risk by the breach includes “some combination of” name, mailing address, phone number, email address, passport number, Starwood Preferred Guest (“SPG”) account information, date of birth, gender, arrival and departure information, reservation date, communication preferences, payment card numbers and payment card expiration dates.
Although payment card numbers were encrypted, thieves may have stolen the information required to decrypt them.
What happened?
Marriott has not revealed what events or security failures occurred (it may not yet know), but it has released some details about how it discovered the breach.
The company says that on 8 September 2018 it was alerted to an unauthorised attempt to access the Starwood guest reservation database. Security experts called in to deal with the incident revealed that unauthorised access to the Starwood network started as far back as 2014, two years prior to Marriott’s acquisition of Starwood.
On 19 November 2018, Marriott learned that a recent attempt to encrypt and exfiltrate data from the network had included data from the Starwood guest reservation database.
As you can see from what Marriott has revealed so far, it can be difficult for everyone concerned to tell the difference between data that has been put at risk and data that has actually been stolen.
Until they can confirm otherwise, victims would be prudent to assume they amount to the same thing.

Press Release: Sophos Wins All Three Security Categories in 2015 CRN® Annual Report Card
Tuesday, August 11, 2015 at 2:04PM OXFORD, U.K. August 10, 2015 – Sophos has won all three security focused categories in The Channel Company's esteemed 2015 CRN® Annual Report Card. Sophos swept the board for the second year running as the winners of "Overall Category: Client Security Software" and "Overall Category: Network Security Appliances," and extended its recognition this year adding "Overall winner: Network Security Software" to its accolades. Sophos is the only vendor to have received top ratings in all client and network security categories, demonstrating the consistency of the channel experience across its portfolio.
The Annual Report Card summarizes results from a comprehensive study that details solution provider satisfaction with hardware, services and software vendors. The vendors with the highest marks are named to the prestigious Annual Report Card list and celebrated as best in class by their partners. The results also provide the IT vendor community with valuable feedback—directly from their solution providers—that can be used to hone product offerings and improve communication with partners.
"Our partner community is absolutely critical to our success in helping businesses and government agencies of all sizes protect their systems and information from cyber-attack," said Mike Valentine, senior vice president of worldwide sales for Sophos. "The unprecedented high marks awarded by our partners for the 2015 Annual Report Card reflects our companywide commitment to the channel. This year, CRN and its readers have recognized many of our key marketing and sales people for their accomplishments and impact within the channel, and now to receive such credit in all client and network security categories, is an honor for our entire company."
This year's elite group of honorees was selected based on the results of an in-depth invitation-only survey by The Channel Company's research team. More than 2,400 solution providers were asked to evaluate their satisfaction with 72 vendor partners in approximately 22 major product categories. The winners will be honored throughout The Channel Company's XChange 2015 event Aug. 9-11 in Washington, D.C., and highlighted in the leading media outlet for the IT channel, CRN. To view the results of the study as well as the list of this year's honorees, visit www.crn.com.
"Today's solution providers are juggling multiple vendors, product lines and customer demands. They are looking for true partnerships with their vendors in order to tailor solutions that will meet and exceed their customers' expectations," said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. "CRN's Annual Report Card continues to give solution providers an outlet to deliver feedback to vendors and recognizes those vendors at the top of their game. We join these solution providers in applauding 2015 honoree Sophos and recognize them for their stellar performance."

Sophos Anti-Virus engine for Microsoft Windows - vulnerability notification
Tuesday, January 28, 2014 at 2:02PM
| Sophos has recently been notified of a vulnerability in Sophos Anti-Virus Engine (SAV Engine) running on Microsoft Windows platforms. The vulnerability could in theory have allowed a remote attacker to manipulate the SAV Engine, which could result in protection being disabled or bypassed by an attacker. This vulnerability affects the Endpoint Security and Control for Windows client included in our Endpoint/Enduser, PureMessage, and SharePoint products. The vulnerability has been fixed in the January engine, which was released on the 22nd of January. If products are configured in Sophos Enterprise Console to use the “recommended” subscription, they will be updated automatically. This is the default setup, so only customers who have chosen to use ‘fixed’ or ‘previous’ subscriptions will need to take action to ensure they receive the update right away. Sophos Cloud customers and users of the standalone client will all be automatically updated. At Sophos, we constantly invest in making our products as secure as possible. When security issues like this are identified, we prioritize fixing them as quickly and completely as possible. We would like to thank the researcher, Graham Sutherland from Portcullis Computer Security Ltd, for identifying this vulnerability and for disclosing it responsibly. If you have customers using SAVi or SAVDi: From the January release onwards, SAVi and SAVDi on Windows will only run as one of the following user accounts or groups:
If an application without these permissions attempts to use SAVi, it will receive the following error return code: 0xa0040200 – SOPHOS_SAVI_ERROR_ INITIALISING On SAVDi the error message will be: “SAVI interface could not be initialized” For additional information about this vulnerability, please see this knowledgebase article. |
Worst Passwords of 2013
Tuesday, January 21, 2014 at 6:00AM There are a lot of solution out their to help you keep track of and to make strong passwords for you online access to all of your sites. It is important to not only have strong passwords (ones that cannot be easily guessed) but also to have different passwords for each and every site that you access. That way if one is compromised then the rest of your secure sites are not compromised as well.
What Makes a Strong Password?
- It needs to contain special characters such as @#$%^&
- It must be at least 8 characters long.
- It must not have any common words such as 123, password, your birth date, your login name and any words that can be found in the dictionary.
- a variation of capitalization and small letters
For best protection every password you use should be unique and have the characteristics of what is a strong password listed above. You may be wondering how you are going to remember so many passwords when you have a problem remember just one! Try some of these tips in creating and remembering your passwords:
1. First, think of a thing, date, phrase, event, place or anything that is unique only to you. Make sure that it is at least 8 characters in length. What ever you come up with use this as the focal point for creating the rest of the password. Some people call this the salt phrase.
2. Many use the following to confuse the spelling by replacing certain alpha characters with specific special characters. You can come up with your own rules for doing this but commonly people use the following.
- Replace all the ‘a’ with @
- Replace all the ‘s’ with $
- Repalce any space with %
- Replace any ‘o’ with 0
- Replace any ‘i’ with !
3. Then for each site use either the site name or something about the site additionally added to your salt term. You can even vary the placement of the two parts to even make it more unique. Come up with some rules to use to help you remember and you will be on your way to a much safer online experience.

WeMo LED Lighting, WeMo Maker to launch this spring alongside the Crock-Pot® Smart Slow Cooker with WeMo

PCmover Announcement
Tuesday, November 26, 2013 at 3:56PM Press Release:
Lately, Windows users have been discovering issues with using Windows Easy Transfer to upgrade from their old Windows PCs to a new Windows 8.1 PC. Microsoft has since come out in official forums stating that they are reducing support for Windows Easy Transfer in favor of promoting the cloud. This diminished support is seen through the incompatibility with Windows XP and Windows Vista users, as well as the ability to only transfer over data files by using only an external hard drive or USB. Unfortunately, this leaves many Windows users unable to transfer over their old documents, music, settings without a great deal of hassle and extra work. Programs will have to be re-downloaded and installed, serial numbers will need to be dug up, and the transfer process will be a long, grueling one. With support for Windows XP ending this April, many XP users will be looking to make the upgrade to Windows 8.1, but won’t find any help in getting there.
Laplink is aware of customers’ concerns over upgrading or migrating to a new PC and is now offering PCmover Home for free to any user moving from a Windows XP to Windows 8.1. We’re also offering several discounts to help alleviate Windows users’ worries over upgrading. Attached you’ll find our press release, where you can find more information on how PCmover is providing the solution to the Windows Easy Transfer Problem.
Aruba Networks Maps Out New Indoor Location-Based Services with Acquisition of Meridian
Sunday, May 19, 2013 at 11:36AM Press Release:
“Indoor GPS” Platform Will Offer Wayfinding and Context-Aware Advertising and Marketing for Public-Facing Enterprises
Sunnyvale, CA – May 16, 2013 – Aruba Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:ARUN), a leading provider of next-generation network access solutions for the mobile enterprise, today announced the acquisition of privately-held Meridian Apps, Inc. (“Meridian”). With this acquisition, Aruba Networks enables new location-based services by combining its unique, network-based contextual information about users, devices and applications with Meridian’s Wi-Fi based wayfinding solution for smartphones and tablets.
The Meridian enterprise software platform is targeted at public-facing enterprises, including casinos, hospitals, malls, stores, transport hubs, convention centers, museums and campuses, to help customers navigate these large, indoor facilities. Enterprises use the platform to create custom-branded mobile applications to provide turn-by-turn directions, highlight points of interests along the way, deliver context-awareness advertising and offer detailed analytics about users’ travel patterns and preferences.
“GPS-based wayfinding solutions are extraordinarily popular, but they don’t work well indoors,” said Keerti Melkote, founder and Chief Technology Officer at Aruba Networks. “We intend to address that gap by creating ‘indoor GPS’ using Aruba’s Wi-Fi infrastructure and Meridian’s wayfinding platform. The addition of Meridian will enable enterprises to tap into a wealth of network-driven information so that they can better engage their customers with more personalized services. This is a clear opportunity for Wi-Fi to become not only an enabling platform for BYOD, but now across industries, a revenue-producing, customer engagement platform for the business.”
