Kaspersky Lab experts have identified a link between cyber attacks by two infamous cybercriminals – GreyEnergy (who is apparently the successor to the BlackEnergy group) and Sofacy, which focus on cyberbullying. Both used the same servers at the same time, but each with a different purpose.

BlackEnergy and Sofacy hackers are among the most wanted actors in the modern global cyber-crime scene. In the past, they have been involved in activities that have had far-reaching consequences on the infrastructure of some countries. The BlackEnergy group was one of the most famous cyber-attacks in history – its attacks targeted the Ukrainian power plant in 2015, causing power outages. The second group, Sofacy, has been very confused by its attacks on the US and European governmental organizations, which have not escaped national security and intelligence agencies. Rather, they have speculated in professional cyber-security circles that there is a link between the two groups, but so far there has been no evidence. Now it turns out that GreyEnergy (the successor of the BlackEnergy Group) uses malware that is very similar to the Sofacy tool for attacks on predominantly Ukrainian industrial companies and critical infrastructure components.

ICS CERT’s special team, as stated in the article, focuses on the research and elimination of threats to industrial systems, has found two servers hosted in Ukraine and Sweden, both used at the same time in June 2018. The GreyEnergy Group used servers in its phishing campaign to saving a malicious file. This has been downloaded by users after they opened a text document that was attached to a phishing e-mail. At the same time, Sofacy used this server as a C & C center (command and control) for its own malware. Because both groups have taken advantage of servers for a relatively short period of time, it is likely that they share the infrastructure. This is confirmed by the fact that both groups focused on the same company with spear-phishing emails within a week. In addition, they also used a similar phishing emails from the Kazakhstan Energy Ministry.

“The finding of shared infrastructure by the BlackEnergy and Sofacy groups points to a stronger link between the two actors. It gives us a deeper insight into the activities of these Russian speaking groups, what are their capabilities, potential goals and sacrifices, “

says Mária Garnaeva, a security expert from Kaspersky Lab.

In order for companies not to be victims of such attacks, Kaspersky Lab experts recommend that:

  • Examine employees in cyber security. In particular, focus on dealing with suspicious emails that come from unknown senders and contain links or attachments.
  • Introduce cyber-awareness programs that will be entertaining for employees and virtually verify their knowledge and skills.
  • Automate the implementation of operating system, application, software, and security solutions updates that are part of both IT and OT infrastructure.
  • Use a special security solution that includes behavioral anti-phishing technology and technology to protect against targeted attacks. These include, for example, Kaspersky Threat Management and Defense, which also detects advanced threats and network anomalies.

Dear readers,

During the past week we have witnessed an unprecedent decline in the value of Bitcoin and altcoins.

Did the cryptocurrency market suddenly turn into a bear market ?

When we look at coinmarketcap.com website, we see that just between today 2nd February and yesterday meaning within 24 hours-$60bn of market capitalization just vanished! You might ask, where did this money go ? Well most probably as Bitcoin is losing its dominance, and altcoins are falling we are witnessing a slow mid-term bear market.

Most FOMO investors have been betting on the rise of Bitcoin, reaching a peak of $19,511 on Dec. 18 2017.

Since then there was only a steep downtrend and nobody knows where is the market heading to. Most probably cryptocurrency market prices are searching its bottom at the moment.

Here is explanation of the recent CRASH:

Financial Times: {go to FT.COM/VIDEO}

How CNBS explains what would happen:

foreignexchangeForex trading, which stands for the Foreign Exchange Market for currencies, is basically the exchange of one currency for another at a specific price. It is decentralized and by far the largest in the world in terms of volume of trading with an estimated daily turnover of $5.3 trillion.

“Essentially, people are selling one currency and simultaneously buying another one with purely speculative purposes and the main goal is to predict the price changes and profit from it.”

According to Mr. Miroslav Paulo owner of  forex blog  there is a lot of risk involved in forex  and it is strange that only small percent of traders will make real profits within first year!  Actually more than 90% of novice speculators will loose all their money. And that is hell of a lot of money if you compare forex to other investing assets like commodities for example.

What influences the market price ?

There are many factors that influence the prices on the market, but the most important are politics, huge investment flows, and rapid changes in economical environment.There are two key factors which are behind FOREX trading’s popularity and global success.

  • The first one is that it runs 24/7 without a break, which means trading is always open and there are no periods in which the prices change dramatically with the exchange being closed.
  • The second one is the so called leverage – it means users are required to deposit just a small percentage of the amount they are trading with.

This gives the opportunity to smaller players to join the game, while in the past currency trade was only open to banks and other big financial institutions. (more…)

options-investPeople who put aside some extra money usually want to invest to make it grow and protect their wealth from inflation. Ten years ago the most popular investment opportunities were investing into buying treasury or S&P500 stocks through a broker. This has changed dramatically with the rise of new mobile technologies. According to the recent studies almost fifteen percent of all investors now practice forex and binary trading mobile.

valutahandel-nyborgjareCurrency trading also called as valutahandel  market is full of urban legends that can harm a trader’s chances at financial success. By knowing some of the major Forex myths, wise traders can avoid any unnecessary frustrations.

The market is rigged

Another one of the most popular Forex myths is that the currency market is rigged. The Forex market the largest in the world and it is likely that if an individual or company takes a non-businesslike approach to financial trading, it will quickly be spotted. Forex is not a scam and even though losses can occur, a fine-tuned strategy can reap financial dividends for the trader, especially during this economic climate. Accepting that losses do occur and developing a strategy that has a slight edge during these market conditions will bring significant returns.

Forex brokers trade against the traders

It is partial truth that bästa forex mäklare who are market makers can really trade against their own clients. It is shame but it may be truth.

But have  you ever asked yourself why  ? I mean, Market makers don’t need to do this because 65% up to 89% of clients are loosing money trading with Market Makers, this is simply cold hard fact. There are more newbies than serious traders, so why would a broker risk his hard earned reputation and do risky stop loss hunting or price requotation stuff when all they can do is sit and wait until a noobie will loose the money ???

Listen I tell you this…

Nowadays we have over regulated retail fx trading environment in EU and not so much in Vietnam but…

Look at FCA, Cysec and the whole MIFID2 and ESMA crazy stuff.. Do you think some fx company would like to risk their license by doing these dodgy  practices ? I mean if they get caught, could cost them lucrative EU market license..

And what about ECN Brokers ?

On the other hand, ECN brokers do not trade against clients because this is technically just not possible for them to do. But I mean how many true ECN brokers do you know ? If I count from the top of my head maybe 3 I know… IC Markets, Pepperstone and XTB ?  So be careful before you rush and deposit into ECN brokerage since it can be STP and not true ECN 🙂

Dealing desk is evil

How many times did I hear this on forums! Man you better visit the premises and check if you find dealing desk. If yes, run away!

Well unfortunately that is not truth. Dealing desk is ordinary department of each MM so relax.

Losses are the trader’s fault

Forex trading is rarely a way to get rich quick. Trading takes a level of patience, skill and consistency, as well as a knowledge of the market. Losses are not the trader’s fault and are down to market conditions, unless the trader has failed to follow his plan through. The possibility of loss creates opportunities for other winners. Without a small level of risk, no financial return is possible.

I know nothing about trading, I am doomed to fail

This is simply not true! One of the most irrelevant arguments against trading I used to hear from noobies. Why on earth do u think that only experts can win in trading ? In fact, researche studies show, that most of the time, noobies hit the gold and beat the market including highly paid professionals who are employed by Hedge Funds.

I can make money daytrading on forex

BULLSHIT !

This is a myth!

Almost noone can make money daytrading., well maybe bank daytraders can but that is whole different story.

It is just not possible for you and me, because there are so many factors that come into this game. You can be profitable daytrader, but you will eventually fail in longterm,

Bear this in mind, and watch below video by Andrew the owner of Learncurrencytradingonline.com

A more complex fx trading strategy is better

When currency traders begin with a simple strategy and see small returns, they often change their gameplay, hoping that they will increase their financial return if they evaluate a few more variables. This is often not the case. Profits are usually made at the margin, where even the most successful traders only win slightly more than when they lose. Stick with your original system and focus on managing your money instead.It’s best to develop a strong trading plan that has been tested by yourself. Always take responsibility for the failures and successes of your plan.

forexbroker guideChoosing the right forex broker to conduct your foreign currency exchange trading activities seems relatively easy on the surface. Unfortunately, when you look a little deeper, you’ll soon find that it’s important to choose the right account to suit you, or you could face problems later.

Many people still dont believe that you can earn money with forex, just look at Yahoo Answers forum and you will see those questions. People think it is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. You’ll need a forex trading account if you intend to generate profits from trading foreign currencies, and an online forex account can give you a significant amount of freedom. When you trade online, you have the ability to place trades at any time of the day or night from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.

Here are some other considerations to think about before signing up for your forex account:

Broker reputation is first thing to look for !

One of the first things to look for is the overall reputatoin of a company you want to deal with. First of all, head over to most famous forex trading forums and check whether your chosen broker in Vietnam has got good reputation. You will have to figure it out on your own, simply by reading many threads, where people discuss the company they trade with right now.

“In case you find a brokerage that seems to be inserious leave it! Do not put all your money in it, under no circumstances !”

Trading Costs

Most forex brokers don’t charge any trading fees or commissions. Instead, they charge a ‘spread’. This is the difference between the bid and ask price. They add the spread onto the price of the trade and keep this as their fee for your trade. Spreads can vary greatly between brokers.

It’s important to understand how these things are calculated, as you may find that the bid/ask price represents a spread that is higher than other brokers may charge and could impact your profitability.

You could also find that the type of forex trading account or online forex account you choose can impact the trading costs associated with trading. This means some brokers will charge a much lower spread for high-volume traders and charge a higher spread for those traders who place trades less frequently.

Spreads

Even though you might think one single pip (or point of currency value) might not look like much, consider trading on a 5 pip spread instead of a 4 pip spread. One tiny pip worth of currency value looks so incredibly small. Yet it still could represent a 25% on your overall trading costs.

When you multiply this amount by the amount of high leverage available through most forex trading accounts, those tiny pips suddenly multiply into vast amounts of money. This is especially true with leverage available of ratios up to 200:1.

Demo Account

Before signing up for a forex trading account, be sure you have access to a demo version. This can allow you to see how the spreads are calculated, how the platform works and what kind of analytical information is available on your online forex account. For instance ETORO broker and Plus500 broker are very popular among vietnamesse traders.

You also have the opportunity to place trades within your demo account that can show you how quickly each trade is facilitated and executed. You’ll be more aware if that particular forex account is the right one for you before you commit any of your own money into the deals.

Trade Sizes

There are plenty of forex accounts that accept standard sized trades, but if you’re a little more cautious about how much of your own money you want to spend, you might consider opting for a micro trading account or even a mini trading account.

These can allow you to place trades for significantly smaller amounts, which can limit the amount of capital you expose during each trade. You will also find that the amount of deposit needed to begin trading is also substantially lower, ranging from just $25 to get started up to around $200. These types of online forex accounts can be an excellent way to get a feel for forex trading.
