Russian stocks take hit on sanctions fear; emerging stocks near 16-month highs
LONDON, July 16 (Reuters) – Fear of new economic sanctions
pushed Russian equities to new five-week lows on Wednesday,
while broader emerging stocks held off recent 16-month highs
after hawkish noises from the Federal Reserve boosted U.S.
While Fed Chair Janet Yellen stressed that the inflation
picture was not enough to accelerate anticipated interest rate
hikes, she also hinted that an unexpected improvement in the job
market could lead to faster rate rises than are currently priced
Emerging central banks rebuild hard currency reserves
LONDON, July 14 (Reuters) – Hard currency reserves across
emerging markets excluding China have surged by around $100
billion from levels at the end of 2013 as central banks exploit
this year's buoyant investment inflows to refill their depleted
With an eye on the day when U.S. interest rates eventually
start to rise, policymakers in emerging economies are actively
buying dollars. They see them as a bulwark against the kind of
selloff that ravaged their markets last year due to signs that
the U.S. bond-buying programme could soon be wound down.
Emerging markets; turning a corner
Emerging markets have been attracting healthy investment flows into their stock and bond markets for much of this year and now data compiled by consultancy CrossBorder Capital shows the sector may be on the cusp of decisively turning the corner.
CrossBorder and its managing director Michael Howell say their Global Liquidity Index (GLI) — a measure of money flows through world markets — showed the sharpest improvement in almost three years in June across emerging markets. That was down to substantially looser policy by central banks in India, China and others that Howell says has moved these economies "into a rebound phase".
Emerging bond sales surpass $260 billion in first half 2014
LONDON, June 30 (Reuters) – Emerging market borrowers sold
over $260 billion worth of bonds in the first half of 2014,
outstripping year-ago levels despite geopolitical noise as
borrowers rushed to take advantage of lower-than-expected U.S.
The hard currency debt market was hampered by the
Ukraine-Russia conflict and a sharp fall in Russian bond sales.
But a 50-basis-point fall in U.S. 10-year yields, the benchmark
for most emerging debt, has more than made up for the
geo-political risks.
Ecuador: a successful emerging market?
A colleague of mine, Marius Zaharia (@MZaharia) interviewed Moritz Kraemer, Standard and Poor's head of sovereign ratings for Europe, Middle East and Africa. (you can read the interview here) Kraemer offered this piece of advice to the African governments who are busily tapping bond markets these days:
What I want to tell all those governments in africa is that you are not a successful market participant when you've issued your first eurobond. You are a successful participant when you've paid it back for the first time.
Bulgarian bank stocks plunge; rouble hits 5-month high
LONDON, June 27 (Reuters) – Shares in major Bulgarian banks
fell on Friday for a second straight day and the country's
debt-insurance costs rose towards 15-month highs as problems at
its banks threatened to spread.
Elsewhere, weaker U.S. economic data reinforced the view
that the Federal Reserve would be in no hurry to tighten policy.
The dollar fell to a one-month low against major currencies and
helped to boost most emerging-market assets.
Stocks fall on Iraqi violence; Gulf markets stabilise
LONDON, June 25 (Reuters) – Emerging markets came under
pressure on Wednesday as conflict in Iraq kept oil prices near
their nine-month highs, but stock markets in the Gulf stabilised
as construction firm Arabtec slowed a three-day slump.
Markets have gained confidence that the U.S. Federal Reserve
will not start raising interest rates before mid-2015. But they
are being spooked by high oil prices and the prospect of Western
air strikes on Iraq, where militants are fighting government
forces less than 100 km (60 miles) from Baghdad.
Russian firms to follow Sberbank on to bond markets, must prepare to pay
LONDON, June 24 (Reuters) – An easing in sanctions-related
tension with the West is allowing Russian companies to explore
global bond markets after a four-month hiatus but they must
prepare to pay up to lure investors.
After bond buyers last week shrugged off concerns about
militant attacks in Kenya and Ecuador's serial defaults, it
seems unlikely that bond issues from Russia's mighty state-run
companies can fail.
Sberbank back to bond markets, Russian assets gain
LONDON, June 23 (Reuters) – Sberbank returned to global bond
markets on Monday, the first Russian state-run firm to do so
since February, while the rouble and stocks led gains on
European emerging markets thanks to strong Chinese economic
Markets broadly shrugged off the oil price surge caused by a
spreading insurgency in Iraq after a preliminary HSBC survey
showed activity in China's factory sector expanded in June for
the first time in six months as new orders surged.
Ukraine bonds recover; emerging stocks head for weekly loss
LONDON, June 20 (Reuters) – Ukrainian bonds rose slightly on
Friday, recovering from panic over possible debt restructuring
though most emerging assets weakened against the backdrop of
violence in oil exporter Iraq and a rise in U.S. bond yields.
Emerging stocks were set to snap two weeks of gains, falling
0.3 percent on the day despite record highs on the
world equity index, and most currencies slipped, with energy
importers facing the prospect of significantly higher oil

DEFINITION of 'Nonmonetary Transaction'
Transactions that do not result in a transfer of funds between accounts. Nonmonetary transactions can be something as simple as a change of address or can refer to more complex transactions in the financial sector. For example, a $0 deposit to initiate an automated clearing house transaction (e.g., direct deposit or auto-withdrawal) would be considered a nonmonetary transaction.
The even exchange of assets (e.g., transferring property or inventory) is a nonmonetary transaction. In cases of property exchange, the fair values of the underlying assets need to be determined, if possible.
BREAKING DOWN 'Nonmonetary Transaction'
Nonmonetary transactions can be either reciprocal or nonreciprocal. Reciprocal (two-way) nonmonetary transactions involve two or more parties exchanging nonmonetary goods, services or assets. Nonreciprocal (one-way) nonmonetary transactions involve the transfer of goods, services or assets from one party to another, such as a business making an in-kind donation of employee volunteer time or physical items to another organization.

DEFINITION of 'Discounting Mechanism'
The premise that the stock market essentially discounts, or takes into consideration, all available information and present and potential future events. When unexpected developments occur, the market discounts this new information very rapidly. The Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) is based on the hypothesis that the stock market is a very efficient discounting mechanism.
BREAKING DOWN 'Discounting Mechanism'
The fact that the stock market is essentially a discounting mechanism explains the wild swings in stock indexes following unexpected events such as a natural disaster or a terrorist attack, or an earnings miss in the case of an individual stock. The efficiency of the stock market as a discounting mechanism has been vigorously debated over the years. Economist Paul Samuelson, attempting to show that equity markets do not always get it right, famously remarked in 1966 that "Wall Street indexes predicted nine out of the last five recessions."

In June 2006, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) Committee on the Future of Emergency Care in the U.S. Health System released a series of reports on the state of emergency care. The reports, Emergency Medical Services at the Crossroads; Hospital-Based Emergency Care: At the Breaking Point; and Emergency Care for Children: Growing Pains, identified a number of disturbing problems including overcrowded emergency departments, a lack of coordination among emergency providers, variability in the quality of care provided to patients, workforce shortages, lack of disaster preparedness, a limited research base, and shortcomings in the systems' ability to care for pediatric patients. These problems, while apparent to those who work in the field, are largely hidden from public view, in part because popular fictional television programs frequently depict the emergency care system in fine shape. Despite the lifesaving feats performed every day by emergency departments and ambulance services, the nation's emergency medical system as a whole is overburdened, underfunded, and highly fragmented.
The exposure of some of the shortcomings in the nation's emergency care system coincided with the 40th anniversary of the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council 1966 report, Accidental Death and Disability: The Neglected Disease of Modern Society. The report prompted public outcry by describing an epidemic of automobile-related and other
The planning committee's role was limited to planning the workshops, and the workshop summaries have been prepared by the workshop rapporteurs as factual summaries of what occurred at the workshops.
injuries and the poor state of trauma care nationwide. Nevertheless, the report made a tremendous impact; it is widely viewed as the impetus for the creation of the trauma and prehospital emergency medical services (EMS) systems, the specialty in emergency medicine, and federal programs to enhance the emergency care infrastructure and research base. A similar opportunity exists today for the advancement of emergency care.
The IOM received funding from 14 organizations to conduct a series of dissemination workshops associated with the release of the 2006 reports on the future of emergency care. Sponsors included the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the American College of Emergency Physicians, the American College of Surgeons, the Association of Academic Chairs of Emergency Medicine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Council of Emergency Medicine Residency Directors, the Emergency Medicine Residents' Association, the Emergency Nurses Association, the Health Resources and Services Administration, the National Association of EMS Physicians, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine. The sponsors recognized that advancing emergency care will take a concerted effort by the principal stakeholders—federal, state, and local officials; hospital leadership; physicians, nurses, emergency medical technicians, and other clinicians; and the public. The workshops were intended to engage those stakeholders.
The purpose of the dissemination workshops was to (1) provide a forum to engage the public and stakeholder groups in a national discussion of issues identified in the three IOM reports on the future of emergency care; (2) disseminate findings from these reports; (3) explore the implications of the recommendations in the reports at the federal, state, and local levels; (4) identify continuing research and data needs; (5) and consider implementation issues and strategies connected with the recommendations. The purpose was not to change the findings or recommendations in the three IOM reports, but rather to provide an opportunity to discuss the issues publicly. The workshops were organized by a nine-member workshop planning group that selected the locations for the workshops, the broad topics for discussion, the structure of the agenda, and the presenters.
Three one-day regional dissemination workshops were conducted in Salt Lake City, Utah (September 7, 2006), Chicago, Ilinois (October 27, 2006), and New Orleans, Louisiana (November 2, 2006). Each of the workshops featured focused discussions in two issue areas. The meeting in Salt Lake City focused on pediatric emergency care and care in rural areas; in Chicago it was workforce issues and hospital efficiency; and in New Orleans it was EMS issues and disaster preparedness. The workshops included panels comprised of experts and key stakeholders drawn from the region and nationally. A fourth capstone workshop, held in Washington, D.C.,
provided an opportunity to engage congressional and other federal policy leaders in a discussion of emergency care issues. All workshops featured invited presentations and structured discussions. In addition, time was reserved at each workshop for attendees to pose questions to IOM committee members and the invited panelists.
This report summarizes the proceedings of the workshops. Each regional workshop began with an overview of the findings and recommendations from the three reports on the future of emergency care. Those findings and recommendations are summarized in the next chapter. The remainder of the report devotes one chapter to each of the workshops. The agendas of the workshops are found in Appendix A and a list of attendees appears in Appendix B. Appendix C contains a glossary of the acronyms used in this document.

PE: Art NouveauArt NouveauA.k.a. "That beautiful detailed flowery art style".History Origins Art Nouveau is an art movement that was most popular between 1890 and 1910. It originated in England and France, where it spread over the last two decades of the 19th century. The origins in each respective country vary though. For example, the German "Jugendstil" was first used 1897 as criticism against cheap mass production of works from artists like Henry van de Velde. Art Nouveau was by far no consistent art movement; there were several geographical differences, although some basic characteristics stayed the same. Those key features are decorative curves and flowery elements.All in all "Art Nouveau" constisted of divergent art movements in Europe.

Progress Energy warns of bill scam
Article published on
Thursday, Dec. 27, 2012
ST. PETERSBURG Progress Energy is urging customers to be on alert for a new utility bill payment scam affecting customers across the country.
Under the scam, customers are receiving a call informing them their electric service is scheduled for immediate disconnection and they should make a payment by purchasing a money pack card at a local drug or convenience store. Progress Energy has received reports of customers who have been contacted about this scam in its Florida service territory, targeting Spanish-speaking customers.
The money pack card is a temporary pre-pay credit card that requires a registration process.
After the customer purchases the card, he or she is instructed to call the fraudulent party back to make a payment. The customer is instructed to provide a receipt number and PIN number. Once that information is obtained, the money on the card is then transferred to the fraudulent party.
Progress Energy does not contact customers to obtain personally identifiable information. In addition, the company encourages anyone who receives a call indicating their electric service is scheduled for immediate disconnect, to contact law enforcement and report the attempted fraud.
Any homeowner in doubt about the identity of someone claiming to be a Progress Energy employee should call Progress Energys customer service center at 1-800-700-8744 in Florida to confirm the employee's identity. Customers who are contacted by phone, email, through social media or through other channels, can verify an individuals affiliation with Progress Energy by calling the same number.
Progress Energy Florida, a subsidiary of Duke Energy provides electricity and related services to more than 1.6 million customers in Florida. The companys headquarters is in St. Petersburg and serves a territory encompassing more than 20,000 square miles including the cities of St. Petersburg and Clearwater, as well as the Central Florida area surrounding Orlando.

You can go big, or you can go small, with a series of new 3D printers by MakerBot, which is expanding its offerings to appeal to an even wider audience now. "Since these 3D printers will have a Windows 8.1 3D printer driver, owners of these 3D printers can realize the benefits of 3D printing support in Windows 8.1," writes Gavin Gear on the Extreme Windows Blog.
One of the new models, the MakerBot Replicator Mini Compact 3D Printer, due out this spring, is "all about making 3D printing accessible and easy," he says. At $1,375, the Replicator Mini "is the most affordable Replicator to date."
With its build volume of 3.9 inches by 3.9 inches by 4.9 inches, it's ideally suited for printing smaller objects, he says.
In the video above, Gear talks with MakerBot CEO Bre Pettis at the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas about the new printers.
Gear notes that MakerBot "didn't just show new printers, they showcased a common next-generation MakerBot technology platform that is shared between these new devices," including Windows 8.1 3D printing integration to allow you to print from any compatible Windows 8.1 app.
That printing integration will let you manage your MakerBot 3D printer "just like any other printer, including print queue management," Gear writes. "Drivers automatically download and install from Windows Update."
To learn more about MakerBot's 3D printers, visit the company website. And to read Gear's full post, head over to the Extreme Windows Blog.

Some North Korean external radio, jamming reportedly off air
Jul 22nd
Posted by Martyn Williams in Media
Numerous broadcasts of North Korea's external radio service and some of the country's jamming of foreign radio stations has been off air in the last few days, according to several reports.
Voice of Korea, which broadcasts in several languages on shortwave to audiences outside of the country, missed many of its scheduled transmissions on July 20 and July 21.
On a typical day the station uses as many as eight transmitters simultaneously to beam its programming around the world, but on July 20 a radio monitor in Bulgaria noted only had two on the air at any one time. A day later, on July 21, the station had between two and seven transmitters on air simultaneously depending on the time.
Voice of Korea has gone through periods in the last few years when it regularly missed some transmissions. The radio station never acknowledged any problems leaving the cause unknown. Speculation has centered around engineering work for the installation of new transmitters or power supply problems.
Also on July 20, radio monitors in the U.S. noted the broadcast of South Korea's KBS Hanminjok Bangsong on 6015kHz shortwave could be clearly heard without jamming.
North Korea typically jams this station by broadcasting noise over the top of its signal so listeners in the DPRK cannot hear the programs. (You can read more about North Korean radio jamming in an article I wrote for NK News.)
A day later, monitors also noted some of the transmissions of Echo of Hope and Voice of the People, both South Korean government broadcasts aimed at North Korea, were also free of jamming.
Monitoring will continue of the next few days.
South suspects North Korean hackers hit on June 25
Jul 17th
Posted by Martyn Williams in Hacking
The South Korean government says it suspects hackers in North Korea were behind a series of cyber attacks last month.
The attacks took place on June 25, the anniversary of the beginning of the Korean war, and continued for several days. When they began, several South Korean government and private-run websites were defaced or taken offline.
The main evidence behind the South's accusations was the discovery of an IP address linked to North Korea and similarities in software code between the June 25 attack and previous attacks, the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning, said Tuesday.
IP addresses are unique numeric identifiers assigned to every device on the Internet that underpin routing of traffic on the network. All known North Korean IP addresses — there are 1,280 of them — are controlled by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications or Star, an affiliated Internet service provider.
Computer security company Fortinet analyzed the June 25 attack and said many of the websites that were taken offline were not directly attacked. Instead, hackers attacked servers that translate human-memorable Internet addresses, like www.example.com, into numeric IP addresses, like 10.234.12.76.
The servers, called DNS or domain name system servers, are queried everytime a human-memorable address is typed into a browser, added to an email or followed from a link. Because the numeric IP address is what's actually used to send, route and receive data, computers need to know that before anything can happen.
Therefore, if the DNS server isn't available, it's impossible to connect to the target website, even if the target website is available.
The attacks on South Korean sites coincided with a previously announced attack on North Korean-related websites by members of the international hacking collective Anonymous. The group launched a series of denial of service attacks that made it difficult to access the sites for several days. Leaders of the Anonymous attacks denied on Twitter any link to the actions against South Korean websites.
One of the attacks targeted the website of the South Korean president and resulted in the site being offline for most of the day.
South Korea's jamming of North Korean radio
Jul 13th
Posted by Martyn Williams in Media
North Korea's attempts to block the flow of information from the outside world to its people are well know and well documented, but much less known is South Korea's attempts to keep its citizens from having unrestricted access to media from North Korea.
The country's national Internet firewall makes it fairly easy to keep curious South Korean eyes away from sites like the Korean Central News Agency and Rodong Sinmun, but what about radio waves that travel freely across the border?
It turns out the South Korean government doesn't want its people listening to those either. A network of jamming transmitters blocks reception of North Korean radio broadcasts in Seoul and the surrounding areas, but it's not quite as complete as the Internet blockade.
In late May I traveled to Seoul to document the current state of South Korea's radio jamming and discovered it's enough to stop casual listeners from tuning into the news, music and propaganda that comes from Pyongyang each day, but it's a low barrier.
There's a surprisingly easy way to get around the jamming and listen to North Korea's two major radio networks: the Korean Central Broadcasting Station and Pyongyang Broadcasting Station, even in downtown Seoul. A little travel also gave me a chance to hear a couple of FM radio stations: Pyongyang FM Broadcasting Station and Echo of Unification.
The findings are split across a couple of articles on NK News, which should be accessible to subscribers and non-subscribers alike. You can also find audio recordings of the radio stations and the jamming.
Part One: Seoul's North Korean jamming: AM and shortwave.
Part Two: Seoul's North Korean jamming: catching FM stations.
Ham radio operators to refine DPRK plans
Jul 2nd
Posted by Martyn Williams in Media
Two ham radio operators hoping to get permission to set up a temporary amateur radio station in North Korea have returned from a trip to the country and have plans to visit again.
Paul Ewing (N6PSE) and David Flack (AH6HY) of the "Intrepid DX" group wrote that they will refine their proposal and "continue to communicate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications."
The two want permission to lead two groups of twelve people each on a two week expedition to the DPRK. While inside the country, they plan to operate an amateur radio station and make contacts with ham operators around the world.
Getting government permission for the plan is, of course, essential.
During their June trip, the two entered the DPRK in Namyang, near Tumen, and traveled as far south as Panmunjon, before leaving the country at Wonjong, near Rajin.
"The purpose of the visit was to meet with DPRK Government Representatives in Pyongyang and to survey and assess various potential Dxpedition venues throughout the country. Particular attention was paid to terrain and the availability of reliable power," they wrote on the "P5 Project" blog.
The project is named for North Korea's radio callsign prefix "P5." Because the country has no licensed amateur operators, contacting a P5 radio station is extremely rare. If the group manage to get permission of their plan, they should receive a temporary P5 call sign and there will likely be strong demand to communicate with the station from overseas ham operators.
"Our goals are to provide a much needed P5 contact to the entire amateur radio community world-wide," they wrote.
The two are now planning a second visit and, in what could be a savvy political move, have added a representative of the Chinese amateur radio community to their group: Fan Bin (BA1RB).
(For background on the project and previous attempts to operate ham radio stations from North Korea, see "Ham radio operators hope to put North Korea on the air" from June 11.)
"DarkSeoul" behind some South Korean hacks, says Symantec
Jun 28th
Posted by Martyn Williams in Hacking
A hacking group called "DarkSeoul" was behind some of this week's attacks on South Korean websites, according to researchers at computer security company Symantec.
The company says the group was responsible for denial of service attacks on South Korean government websites and can be directly linked to similar actions in the past.
"We can now attribute multiple previous high-profile attacks to the DarkSeoul gang over the last 4 years against South Korea, in addition to yesterday's attack,"Symantec said on its Security Response blog. "These attacks include the devastating Jokra attacks in March 2013 that wiped numerous computer hard drives at South Korean banks and television broadcasters, as well as the attacks on South Korean financial companies in May 2013."
The same hacking group was behind the attacks that targeted U.S. and South Korean websites on the July 4 weekend in 2009, according to Symantec.
The attacks by DarkSeoul have been technically sophisticated on some occasions. But Symantec said it's not possible to attribute the acts to those of a nation state, as the South Korean media has fingered North Korean state hackers in many of these cases, or simply a highly skilled group of agitators.
Nevertheless, the attacks are likely to continue, the company said.
"Symantec expects the DarkSeoul attacks to continue and, regardless of whether the gang is working on behalf of North Korea or not, the attacks are both politically motivated and have the necessary financial support to continue acts of cybersabotage on organizations in South Korea. Cybersabotage attacks on a national scale have been rare — Stuxnet and Shamoon (W32.Disttrack) are the other two main examples. However, the DarkSeoul gang is almost unique in its ability to carry out such high-profile and damaging attacks over several years."
Analyzing the June 25 DDoS attacks
Jun 27th
Posted by Martyn Williams in Hacking
Tuesday's series of denial of service attacks on major North Korean websites caused delays and frustration for legitimate users but doesn't appear to have been as large or successful as the first round of attacks in late March and early April this year.
Analysis by NorthKoreaTech.org of data related to the attacks shows the so-called "OpNorthKorea" mission was most successful during its first few hours and then appeared to slowly tail off.
Denial of service attacks involve firing off requests for pages to websites. If enough requests can be sent, the site ends up overloaded and no one gets anything. Success of such an attack requires no hacking of the site itself, just enough people running attack software programs to overload the sites.
The remnants of the attack remain in slow load times for some sites, indicating some hackers are probably still trying targeting North Korean web servers but many have stopped.
Overall, the severity is much reduced from the last round, when global attention was focused on North Korean as it issued daily threats against South Korean and the United States.
The Attack Begins
There was some confusion over the precise starting time of the attack due to an error converting between local time and UTC/GMT.
#OpNorthKorea – 6/25 GMT 03 AM
12AM in Korean time.
03:00 UTC/GMT is actually 12pm local time, not midnight.
The targets of the attack were listed in an online file that was based on The North Korean Website List that resides on this site.

The start of the attacks appear to have triggered a couple of outage on the North Korean Internet, as can be seen in this graphic from Internet monitoring company Renesys. The first occurred at 3am local time and the second at just before 6am local time.
The Targets
Korea Central News Agency (KCNA) and Rodong Sinmun in the DPRK, Choson Sinbo in Japan, the China-based Uriminzokkiri and the European-based Korea-DPR website of the Korea Friendship Assocation were among the main targets of the attacks.
But how successful were they?
Twitter began filling with "Tango Down" messages — signifying a website has been taken down — soon after the attacks began.

Were the sites really down, or just down for some users?
Frank Feinstein, who runs the KCNA Watch service, set up a page to track the success of attempts to connect to a host of North Korean related sites.
"While I don't dispute the attacks have been successful, Anonymous have claimed many more sites to be 'completely offline' when they aren't," he said in comments to North Korea Tech. "I'm not sure how thorough they are with their checks but my data is often different from theirs."
Feinstein runs several thousand proxy servers to repeatedly hit the KCNA website and grab the latest stories for his site. He used those to survey KCNA and a handful of other websites.
"Interestingly kcna.kp is not behaving very differently from the past weeks access logs. It seems to be standing up better than a lot of others," he said. "From the selected North Korean sites I monitored, chosonsinbo.com was 'down' for a period of two hours, uriminzokkiri and ryugyongclip were also taken out."
Uriminzokkiri was the target of a hack in April that resulted in details on the site's 15,000 users being published on the Internet.
"kcna.kp was 'totally unresponsive' for less than 0.1 percent of the 24-hour period we have been monitoring it, which is within the margin of error," he said. "Other sites have responded more strongly."
Feinstein's data, shown below, indicates an average response rate of around 40 percent during much of the attack period. At some points it dipped below 10 percent for the sites being monitored.
For just the KCNA website, Feinstein's monitoring showed a response rate of just 6 percent over the last 24 hours for his 1,214 attempts to grab content. If those numbers are representative of the average Internet user, that means many didn't manage to connect to KCNA. To them, the site would have appeared down.
North Korea's Internet Connection
Ever since the DPRK first opened its connection to the Internet in 2010, the servers in Pyongyang have maintained their link with the rest of the world via China Unicom. About a year after it first connection, the DPRK added a backup route via satellite and things stayed the same until a couple of months ago.
Then, a third connection appeared via China Unicom Hong Kong. It appeared shortly after the April round of hacking attacks and the easy assumption was that it's meant to help mitigate the attacks by providing another way for its servers to connect with users around the world.
Then, a couple of weeks before the long-planned June 25 attacks, it disappeared.
There's no way of knowing why it appeared, just as there is no way of knowing why it was first added, but the original assumptions at least appear to be incorrect.
Here again is a graph from Renesys showing North Korea's connection to the global Internet. The Intelsat connection (grey) disappeared around March this year. The China Unicom HK connection is shown in green.
Hackers attack North, South Korean websites
Jun 25th
Posted by Martyn Williams in Hacking
The previously announced June 25 attack on North Korean websites by hackers working under the "Anonymous" name took an unexpected turn on Tuesday when several South Korean sites were hit with attacks. The actions coincided with the release of what hackers said were stolen files on American military personnel.
The North Korean attack did start as scheduled and appears to have been initially successful. Most major North Korean websites are either inaccessible or difficult to access, indicating they are being hit by a denial of service attack. This involves overwhelming a web server with requests so it gets tied up and bonafide traffic doesn't get through.
The Anonymous hackers had chosen June 25 because it's the anniversary of the start of the Korean War. The plans had been announced a couple of months in advance and North Korea's state-run news agency, KCNA, even ran a commentary over the weekend attacking their plans and rubbishing the group.
North Korean military documents
As part of the build-up to Tuesday's attack, Anonymous said it had gained access to North Korea's internal intranet system and stolen documents. The claim was met with skepticism and Anonymous said it would make a partial release of documents on Tuesday.
As of time of writing, that has not happened.
Confusion at start of attack
Perhaps a sign of the chaotic nature of the Anonymous hacker collective came shortly after the attacks got underway at midnight local time in Korea. One of the first targets turned out to be one of the most vocal Anonymous members on Twitter.
His own site was hit with a denial of service attack.
A follow up message indicated it had been the result of a mix-up, and a fellow Anonymous hacker had misunderstood the nature of the site.
Blue House Attack
For part of the day, the website of the South Korean president's office, the Blue House, was defaced.
A YouTube user posting under the name "Bondra James" in a freshly created account uploaded a 2-minute video that appears to show the attack on the Blue House website taking place. A large "Anonymous" watermark covers part of the screen.
The computer being used in the video is named "AnonAR" and the user is employing a toolkit called "w3b_avtix."
The toolkit apparently contains software to gain access to websites because within about 20 seconds of running the software, the attacker appears to be inside the South Korean president's website. [Update: The video has been removed from YouTube as a violation of its policy on depiction of harmful activities.]
Wider Attacks
Other reports said attacks had hit the sites of broadcasters KBS and YTN, although they appear to have been recovered.
The attacks even reached outside of the Korean peninsula. Although the reason is unclear, OpNorthKorea hackers attacked a government website for Zibo City, a provincial city in Shandong, China.
US Military Lists
Coinciding with the attacks, several files containing personal data were uploaded to text-sharing websites, which allows users to post text messages anonymously.
Several files contained what appear to be the personnel records of members of the U.S. Army's 3rd Marine Division, 25th Infantry Division and 1st Cavalry Division. The records contain a name, date of birth, rank, social security number and other information related to their service.
Together, the records appear to detail some 7,500 persons, but none of the dates on any of the records in the three files is later than 2009, so the lists could be old.
Also posted were a list of hundreds of names and birthdates claimed to be of Korean military members, user names and login details for accounts on the Blue House website and names, cell phone numbers and more for members of the ruling Saenuri party.
The veracity of all of the information could not be immediately confirmed.

Anonymous counts down to planned DPRK cyber attack
Jun 24th
Posted by Martyn Williams in Hacking
Members of the international hacking collective Anonymous look set to launch a planned cyber attack on North Korean Internet properties at midnight local Korean time on Monday night.
The group has also promised to make public some details of documents gained from a claimed attack on North Korean internal servers.
In messages posted to Twitter on Monday, Anonymous members indicated the countdown for the next stage in their "OpNorthKorea" series of attacks is unchanged.
The exact nature of the attacks is not known, but Anonymous typically uses denial of service attacks. These involve flooding web servers with requests for pages — so many requests that the servers become overloaded and are difficult or impossible to load for bonafide users.
Denial of service attacks are different from hacks in that they don't involve breaking into the web server and making any changes to the site.
The June 25 date, which marks the anniversary of the start of the Korean War, first came up in April when Anonymous last launched a round of attacks on North Korea. The action resulted in several major North Korean websites being offline for days.
Most were hit with denial of service attacks but at least one high-profile target was hacked. Uriminzokkiri, a China-based website that carries a large amount of North Korean media and propaganda, was broken into and details on its 15,000 users were posted on the Internet.
Among the Internet postings ahead of the attacks was an image of a mourner in front of the sarcophagus of Kim Jong Il. The image had been altered to give the mourner a Guy Fawkes mask, which is one of the most recognized symbols used by Anonymous members.
Ahead of the planned attack, North Korean state media launched a stinging attack on Anonymous.
The full text is currently difficult to access on the KCNA website, either because it's already being attacked or because of controls put on connections by North Korea. Here's the full text of the KCNA commentary:
Pyongyang, June 21 (KCNA) — The international hacking group Anonymous is letting loose a string of rubbish regarding the DPRK as the goal of cyber attack.
It announced that it would conduct hacking attack called "operation for infiltrating into interior of the north" with June 25 as an occasion and calculates this would help shake the social system in the DPRK.
Anonymous made up of riff-raffs dares hurt the social system of the DPRK, not content with doing bad things to demonstrate its technology.
This provokes side-splitting laughter.
It singled out the DPRK, a focus of world attention, as a target of cyber terrorism in a bid to have Anonymous, a target of world criticism, recognized by the world.
It hacked into open servers of the DPRK without any secret data by use of poor hacking programs.
And now it is busy describing it as a sort of big technological feat.
What merits a more serious attention is that the U.S. and South Korean puppet forces are joining Anonymous in cyber terrorism as they are keen to isolate and stifle the DPRK politically, militarily and economically and carry out ideological and cultural poisoning operations against the DPRK.
It is by no means fortuitous that South Korean conservative media including Chosun Ilbo and Choongang Ilbo are echoing the anti- DPRK misinformation floated by those betes noires doing everything dirty.
The above-said facts indicate that Anonymous is not a simple hacking group making cyber attack for fun but political servants and an international terrorist group of forces hostile to the DPRK wire-pulled by the U.S. and South Korean intelligence service behind the scene.
Anonymous, in fact, knows nothing about the DPRK.
The Network Kwangmyong Anonymous claimed hacked into it does not exist in the DPRK.
Nevertheless, it is misleading the world public opinion, creating impression that it discovered a sort of top secret on the basis of poor information provided by the U.S. and its puppet South Korean information organs by stealth.
Anonymous abuses IT, which should serve as a powerful means for developing human civilization, as a weapon for terrorism against a specified state.
This is a grave political provocation infringing upon the sovereignty and dignity of an independent country and an open challenge to the international community desirous of using everything created by modern science for independent development of countries and nations and welfare of humankind.
It is nothing but a charade for human scum of Anonymous to try to do harm to the social system in the DPRK as such group is not entitled to remain in the age of IT.
The world will clearly see what bitter cup of setback the Anonymous and other hostile forces behind it will have to drink.

Free flu shots will be available on Monday, December 17 at La Vergne Middle School. The Mobile Health Unit is providing the immunization from 7:00 – 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 – 5:00 p.m. at 382 Stones River Road for the Free Flu Shot Clinic.
The shot clinic is offered on a first come, first served basis in partnership with the Rutherford County Health Department and Middle Tennessee Medical Center. Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
The Centers for Disease Control recommends anyone over six months old be vaccinated, particularly those considered to be at risk. At risk individuals are those who have certain medical conditions including asthma, diabetes, and chronic lung disease, pregnant women, and people 65 years and older. The CDC also states that it takes about two weeks after vaccination for antibodies to develop in the body and provide protection against the flu, so with flu season already impacting Tennessee it is not too late to get the shot.
"We are so pleased that the Mobile Health Unit offers this service in La Vergne," said Mayor Senna Mosley. "We encourage our residents to take advantage of the free shot so they can stay healthy now and throughout the remainder of the flu season."

I'd recommend running Mechanar, Botanica and maybe Arcatraz until you hit level 69.ReplyDelete
On to Utgaarde Keep until 72, then Nexus, Azjol'Nerub, Ahn Kahet, Violet Hold, Drak Tharon, Gundrak, Halls of Lightning.
Make sure you reach the level required for the next instance's quests, so you don't have to rerun for 1/2 level or so.
Unless you skip a lot of mobs, you should only have to run each instance once.
I've got about a month left on one RAF and about to start another for the new mount. Great tips here. It's amazing how reading a blog that improves on thoughts I had on my own make it seem more possible. Thanks for that.ReplyDelete
Sadly even though I have a pretty decent machine, since the patch I can't run 2 instances of WoW at the same time, let alone 3. Still trying to figure out why as I didn't have that problem before patch.Replies
i had the exact same issue! basically when i dowmloaded patch it added a new wow icon to my desktop so i have two now lol. If I use the new one it wont let me alt-tab between instances of wow, if i use old shortcut it works fine. Really weird.Delete
Awesome Guide Farli, Loving the content :DReplyDelete

I agree with whoever said that it's 2012 and we live in the USA... if you really think about it... no restaurant or company wants to find out that someone got sick from their food. It reflects so badly on the company!
I ate Jimmy Johns for lunch....I brought a healthy lunch but I got lured in by the $1 Customer Appreciation Day.
Lock me up
Expecting #3 4/28/12
I was really careful with the lunchmeat the first two pgcies - then I just decided with this one to make my DH eat the deli meat, wait 24 hours and if he doesn't/didn't get sick, its listeria free.
I'm sure he is happy to know that he is my listeria test dummy.
