During Microsoft's Ignite Technology conference in Atlanta their CEO, Satya Nadella, revealed the newest piece of technology. It's a powerful piece of silicon inside their cloud-oriented information centers. It gives Microsoft's Azure platform a tremendous advantage in the artificial intelligence field. Microsoft has installed Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) in 15 countries across five different continents, all within the past two years. Microsoft dubbed the project "Project Catapult". FPGA acts similarly to a computers CPU and GPU, but they can be reprogrammed on the fly to best satisfy a need. "What this means is that in addition to getting the efficiency of hardware,  you also get the flexibility because you can change their functionality on the fly. This new architecture that we've built effectively puts an FPGA-based AI supercomputer into our global, hyper scale cloud. We get awesome speed, scale, and efficiency. It will change what...

Riding on the Staten Island Ferry this morning, I checked Coindesk to get my morning fill of recent news in the Bitcoin/Blockchain community. I opened up Bailey Reutzel’s article, which read “post-trade settlement services for small to medium sized enterprises will soon be in development.” e-BIT has decided to halt this discussion in order to inform the masses that a major component of this technology has already been developed and the rest of the components are patent pending. e-BIT has been in stealth development since 2012, originally a Bitcoin mining company, our path has pivoted in recent years. e-BIT’s beta service ‘xChain’ was developed to revolutionize the way SME and financial institutions use their legacy systems. We’re currently willing to demo this product for any financial institution or private investor in the New York City area.  e-BIT’s website launched ahead of the Go-Distributed: Trade Conference in St. Louis two weeks ago, and is starting to gain organic tr...

New studies show that the Postal Service is unknowingly aiding the opiate epidemic going on in the United States right now. Authorities state that packages containing heroin and other opioids are being shipped right to door steps, using the mail systems. Packages that have been intercepted by the USPS have been traced back as far as China and India. “It comes from our postal system and their postal system into the United States. Unbelievable. This poison is coming in the mail to our communities,” Senator Rob Portman of Ohio said. “It’s easy to do because, unlike private carriers, think UPS and FedEx, in the mail system you can send a package without having any information attached to it. It shouldn’t be that easy, and it doesn’t have to be.” Congress had recently taken action to help fight the abuse of prescription medication and heroin. A recent rise in the number of opiate related overdoses drew attention to the abuse of synthetic opiates that enter the United States from Mexic...

Ever wonder why anyone would want to steal your medical records? Wondering why hackers are targeting medical data instead of going after bank information and credit card details? Medical records are being hacked, stolen, and sold on dark net markets as part of packages referred to as Fullz, or identity kits. These kits are used to help criminals' open fraud accounts, get credit cards, bank accounts, anything and everything you could imagine; and none of it's good. Private researcher James Scott co-authored a new report called, Your life, Repackaged and Resold: The Deep Web Exploitation of Health Sector Breach Victims. This report was made reality for the U.S. Senate by the Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology. The report tells of the deep web, and how criminals will use this deep web to buy and sell health information, along with other data. Right after a medical data hack, the information won't be seen for days, weeks, even months and years. Eventually it...

Recently, Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said that Donald Trump gave Russia’s President, Vladimir Putin permission to hack the U.S. “Putin has let loose cyber attackers to hack into government files, to hack into personal files, hack into the Democratic National Committee. But we will defend the citizens of this country, and the Russians need to understand that. I think they’ve been treating it as almost a probing, how far will we go? How much will we do? And that’s why I was so shocked when Donald publicly invited Putin to hack into Americans. That is just unacceptable,” Clinton stated. “Russia, if your listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing,” Trump said. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.” Lawyers for Clinton have turned over work related emails, but had deleted 1000’s that were about personal issues. James Comey, FBI Director, said that “During that month that Clinton should have known that some of the emails st...

Microsoft’s newest venture, Project Springfield, has been revealed. It uses in-house testing technology for Windows and Office apps, as well as using whitebox fuzzing technology to sniff out flaws that lead to crashes. Microsoft started testing a cloud-based bug detector. Microsoft is calling Project Springfield one of its most advanced tools when it comes to finding potentially harmful vulnerabilities. The project uses whitebox fuzzing. This technology is reported to have uncovered at least one third of the million-dollar software bugs while Microsoft was developing Windows 7. Microsoft reported using a component of Springfield called SAGE since 2000, to test its products before releasing them. Project Springfield has SAGE bundled with other tools designed for fuzz testing. It also features a dashboard as well as other user interfaces to enable people without a security background to use the package with ease. As stated earlier, all tests are running from Microsoft’s Azure clo...
