Safety of Princess Latifa leaves attack on Nostromo unresolve

In March 2018, the ruler of Dubai phoned the prime minister of India, and between them they mobilized the militaries of their respective countries to coordinate an attack on a private, US-registered yacht sailing in international waters and to abduct all onboard. The target was the Nostromo, captained by American citizen Herve Jaubert, and the objective was to capture the daughter of Sheikh Mohammed, Latifa Al Maktoum, who had escaped the UAE where she alleged she had been subjected to torture and abuse for decades. This action, carried out in violation of international law, maritime law, and in breach of both the UAE’s and India’s obligations as allies of the United States, constitutes a major crime which has not only gone unpunished, but which has been all but overshadowed by the story of Princess Latifa’s escape and speculation about her fate.

Reconnaissance Announces New Conference for Identity and Transactional Security in the Digital Age

How do we ensure that our financial transactions and identity verification conducted on a smartphone, tablet or other computer are as secure as they have been using banknotes and identity documents respectively?

Do those physical secured documents have a role in this new world? Will there be co-existence, or will they be replaced?

These are the underlying issues to be addressed at the Optical & Digital Document Security Conference in January 2022, as the world returns to meeting in person.

CyRC Vulnerability Advisory: Denial of service vulnerabilities in RabbitMQ, EMQ X, and VerneMQ

CVE-2021-22116, CVE-2021-33175, and CVE-2021-33176 are denial of service vulnerabilities in three popular open source message broker applications

Overview

Synopsys Cybersecurity Research Center (CyRC) research has exposed three separate denial of service vulnerabilities in open source message broker applications. Message brokers are used in software systems to enable multiple independent components to reliably and robustly exchange information.

RabbitMQ, EMQ X, and VerneMQ are three open source message brokers. In each, CyRC research uncovered input that causes the message broker to consume large amounts of memory, resulting in the application being terminated by the operating system.
