HACKERS03.18.15
China Reveals Its Cyberwar Secrets
In an extraordinary official document, Beijing admits it has special units to wage cyberwar—and a lot of them. Is anybody safe?
A high-level Chinese military organization has for the first time formally acknowledged that the country’s military and its intelligence community have specialized units for waging war on computer networks.

China’s hacking exploits, particularly those aimed at stealing trade secrets from U.S. companies, have been well known for years, and a source of constant tension between Washington and Beijing. But Chinese officials have routinely dismissed allegations that they spy on American corporations or have the ability to damage critical infrastructure, such as electrical power grids and gas pipelines, via cyber attacks.

Now it appears that China has dropped the charade. “This is the first time we’ve seen an explicit acknowledgement of the existence of China’s secretive cyber-warfare forces from the Chinese side,” says Joe McReynolds, who researches the country’s network warfare strategy, doctrine, and capabilities at the Center for Intelligence Research and Analysis.

McReynolds told The Daily Beast the acknowledgement of China’s cyber operations is contained in the latest edition of an influential publication, The Science of Military Strategy, which is put out by the top research institute of the People’s Liberation Army and is closely read by Western analysts and the U.S. intelligence community. The document is produced “once in a generation,” McReynolds said, and is widely seen as one of the best windows into Chinese strategy. The Pentagon cited the previous edition (PDF), published in 1999, for its authoritative description of China’s “comprehensive view of warfare,” which includes operations in cyberspace.

“This study is a big deal when it’s released,” McReynolds said, and the current edition marks “the first time they’ve come out and said, ‘Yes, we do in fact have network attack forces, and we have teams on both the military and civilian-government sides,’” including inside China’s equivalents of the CIA and the FBI.

The acknowledgment could have political and diplomatic implications for China’s relationship with the United States and other Western powers.

“It means that the Chinese have discarded their fig leaf of quasi-plausible deniability,” McReynolds said. “As recently as 2013, official PLA [People’s Liberation Army] publications have issued blanket denials such as, ‘The Chinese military has never supported any hacker attack or hacking activities.’ They can’t make that claim anymore.”

U.S. officials have spent years marshaling evidence of China’s cyber capabilities and have been escalating efforts to stop cyber spying. Last year, the Justice Department took the unprecedented step of indicting five Chinese military officials for hacking into U.S. companies and stealing their proprietary information to give Chinese firms a leg up on the global market.

That indictment was met with more denials, which have continued even past the publication of the latest Science of Military Strategy, which has taken months to translate, McReynolds said, and has not been publicized outside the ranks of China analysts.

“When asked, the Chinese as recently as a month ago denied they had a cyber command,” James Lewis, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic Studies and a leading expert on China’s cyber capabilities, told The Daily Beast. Lewis said that the new revelations won’t come as “earth-shattering” to analysts and experts who closely follow statements by Chinese officials, because “we all assumed they were lying.”

“But it’s interesting, and people outside the community won’t know it,” Lewis said. He compared the revelation to China’s testing, in 2007, of an anti-satellite missile, “which came after they had for years stoutly denied that they were building space weapons.”

China has divided its cyber warfare forces into three types, said McReynolds, whose analysis is included in his forthcoming book, China’s Evolving Military Strategy, which will be published in October.

First, there are what the Chinese call “specialized military network warfare forces” consisting of operational military units “employed for carrying out network attack and defense,” McReynolds said.

Second, China has teams of specialists in civilian organizations that “have been authorized by the military to carry out network warfare operations.” Those civilian organizations include the Ministry of State Security, or MSS, which is essentially China’s version of CIA, and the Ministry of Public Security (its FBI).

Finally, there are “external entities” outside the government “that can be organized and mobilized for network warfare operations,” McReynolds said.

As to which of those groups is responsible for targeting American companies to steal their secrets, the short answer, says McReynolds: “They all do it.” Espionage by the PLA has been extensively documented, McReynolds said. And a Chinese hacking unit dubbed Axiom that has been linked to intrusions against Fortune 500 companies, journalists, and pro-democracy groups is reportedly an MSS actor. He noted that there are also many ways that Chinese civilians have been seen assisting in industrial espionage, including through “hack-for-cash” operations.

Based on other PLA writings, it appears that the military would most likely handle any targeting of critical infrastructure, McReynolds said.

Now that China is coming clean about its cyber warfare forces, other countries may question whether they can safely cooperate with the government on combating cybercrime. The Ministry of Public Security (MPS), for instance, has assisted more than 50 countries with investigations of more than a thousands cases of cybercrime over the past decade, and China has set up bilateral law enforcement cooperation with more than 30 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Russia, McReynolds said.

“With the Chinese now explicitly acknowledging that the [ministry] has network warfare forces stationed within it, the United States and other targets of Chinese state-sponsored hacking will have to weigh carefully whether cooperation with the MPS on cybercrime is worth the risks,” he said.

McReynolds also saw signs of a potential power struggle between the People’s Liberation Army and civilian government agencies like the Ministry of Public Security over who really runs cyber operations within the Chinese system. Those civilian cyber forces operated under the PLA’s “authorization,” according to the Chinese document.

“As unprecedented as it is to have the Chinese military acknowledge the existence of its network attack forces, having the PLA announce the existence of such secretive forces inside the civilian government is particularly unusual, and strikes me as an attempt to ‘plant the flag’ for the PLA,” McReynolds says.

The new analysis of China’s cyber operations has taken a long time to produce, in part because the latest edition of the The Science of Military Strategy wasn’t released until December 2013, McReynolds said. “It takes a while for this sort of information to filter out into the Western PLA-watcher community, especially since there’s no English translation available yet. It was only last summer that the first of us in the community started to obtain copies of the new SMS and go through its contents; it’s hundreds of pages long.”

McReynolds, who said he reads Chinese, also ran his translations by analysts fluent in the language to ensure the accuracy of his work, he said.

China isn’t the only major U.S. adversary with advanced military cyber operations. Russia is a “near peer” to the United States, former National Security Agency Director and Cyber Command chief General Keith Alexander said in 2010. The country’s use of cyber offensive operations has been documented both in Georgia in 2008 and more recently with Russia’s invasion of Crimea in 2014. Those operations, conducted in tandem with traditional combat operations, have been aimed at disrupting adversaries’ communications systems, including public websites.

Experts generally agree that Russia, China, and the United States have the most advanced and sophisticated cyber warfare forces. But Iran has been quickly gaining new capabilities and demonstrated a willingness to use them, as with a massive attack on U.S. bank websites in 2012. North Korea has also ramped up its cyber operations, most notably with the hacking of Sony Pictures Entertainment last year, which prompted the Obama administration to impose new economic sanctions on the hermit kingdom.

Eric Rosenbach, an assistant secretary of defense in charge of homeland defense and global security isssues, has said that some five dozen countries are building a military-cyber operation, equivalent to the United States’ Cyber Command.

March 18, 2015 The Senate Intelligence Committee released late Tuesday the language of its recently passed cybersecurity bill, which its backers say could hit the Senate floor as soon as April.

The text of the legislation—which the committee passed 14-1 last Thursday—is largely the same as the discussion drafts that circulated before the vote, but it does incorporate a number of privacy-related amendments that were offered during the markup.

Despite the changes, privacy advocates indicated they still worried the measure could lead to more spying on Americans by the National Security Agency.

The Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act is intended to help forestall cyberattacks like the one that crippled Sony Pictures last year, but concerns about government surveillance prevented a similar measure from earning a vote on the Senate floor in the last Congress. The legislation creates a voluntary framework for the private sector to share more computer data with the government by offering companies expanded legal liability if they choose to participate.

"This legislation protects the privacy rights of Americans while also minimizing our vulnerability to cyber-attacks," Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr said in a statement Wednesday. "Information sharing is purely voluntary and companies can only share cyber-threat information and the government may only use shared data for cybersecurity purposes."

Thanks to an extended spate of high-profile hacks, the bipartisan measure could earn an expedited review and land on the Senate floor as soon as April. In the House, Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael McCaul signaled on Tuesday he plans to introduce his own information-sharing bill this week.

The White House has identified information-sharing as a key priority this year, although it has yet to say if it supports the current CISA language. President Obama issued a veto threat for a similar measure that passed the House a few years ago, partly because of privacy concerns.

"We are committed to working with Congress to craft legislation that reflects that balance, and can pass both houses," a senior administration official said in a statement. "In that spirit, we thank the committee for working with us to address some of the administration's most significant concerns with the committee's bill, and look forward to reviewing the legislation."

Among the nuanced changes, the latest iteration of CISA grants liability protection for companies that share information related to "defensive measures" used to fend off hacks, a term substituted for the more controversial "countermeasures." The bill further clarifies that "defensive measures" does not include data that "destroys, renders unusable, or substantially harms an information system."

But privacy advocates were quick to again express dismay at the wording of several provisions in the latest iteration of CISA.

Jake Laperruque, a privacy and surveillance fellow at the Center for Democracy & Technology, said that, despite the revisions, CISA still amounted to a "cybersurveillance measure." Of particular concern, Laperruque said, was that the committee-passed legislation "required real-time 'insta-sharing' with the NSA" once data is handed over to the government—a mandated scheme that he said gained even more authority under the amended language.

When asked if the amended CISA bill fell short of privacy safeguards included in a separate bill introduced by Sen. Thomas Carper, Laperruque said "definitely." He noted that the measure from Carper, the top Democrat on the Senate Homeland Security Committee, gives no authority for countermeasures at all. Carper's bill adheres closely to a White House proposal rolled out in January.
The new CISA language also still allows for data collected by the government to be used for counterterrorism purposes, including thwarting the use of a weapon of mass destruction, although it restricts such use to imminent threats.

Privacy advocates' continued skepticism about CISA is unsurprising, given that Sen. Ron Wyden, a fierce civil-liberties hard-liner, cast the lone vote against the bill last week. The Oregon Democrat blasted the measure as "a surveillance bill by another name."

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the panel's top Democrat, told reporters last week that 12 of 15 privacy amendments had been accepted by the committee either in part or full. Those changes should be enough to satisfy the bill's critics, she said.

"There has been misinformation about this bill, so let me be clear: The goal of the bill is for companies and the government to voluntarily share information about cybersecurity threats—NOT personal information—in order to better defend against attacks," Feinstein said in a Wednesday statement. "This bill includes more than a dozen significant changes from last year's version. The privacy provisions are substantial and I believe address many of the concerns that had been raised in regard to earlier drafts of the bill."

It is unclear how quickly the Senate intends to move CISA forward, but an aide to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called information-sharing legislation a "priority." Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr indicated he believes the measure can earn a vote in early April.

Hello all, I see 2015 shaping up how 2014 did. They went from like $7 to $30+ in 2014 because they kept raising their 2014 revenue guidance. The only reason VDSI went down after Q4 2014 was their always and I mean ALWAYS conservative revenue guidance. This is from the last Q4......................Third, as you all -- [Technical Difficulty] the annual guidance for the current year. You also know that our business is project based and influence by the timing of our large customers rollout. We anticipate that large orders including those in the yearend backlog will have a positive influence on our year-over-year comparisons for the first half of 2015, but our strong performance in the second half of 2014 may result in potentially lower comparisons during the second half of 2015. This picture may CHANGE as the year progresses however as it DID in 2014. We have a VERY active pipeline and large potential opportunities that may positively impact the second half of 2015. Finally, I wish to share you with you that my close friend and VASCO CFO Cliff Brown have informed me of his intention to retire within the next 15 months....................Since then, as you know they have announced 2 nice big deals. So IMO it will be a slam dunk they will now raise full year revenue guidance in the April Q1. Go back and look at last year how they raise full year revenue guidance in Q1 Q2 and Q3. They are always conservative in their guidance. Cliff Brown retiring is a 100% good thing. I have listen to many CC's with this guy. He is a wet rag that talks and talks and talks. Anyway, I have the June 17th $25 calls that I am 98% sure will be worth a lot more after the April Q1. Good luck! The only reason I didn't go with the April Call's is they might have expired before the report.

Trade-Ideas LLC identified Vasco Data Security International ( VDSI) as a "dead cat bounce" (down big yesterday but up big today) candidate. In addition to specific proprietary factors, Trade-Ideas identified Vasco Data Security International as such a stock due to the following factors:

VDSI has an average dollar-volume (as measured by average daily share volume multiplied by share price) of $91.3 million.
VDSI has traded 123,490 shares today.
VDSI is up 3.3% today.
VDSI was down 8.9% yesterday.

More details on VDSI:

VASCO Data Security International, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, designs, develops, and markets security systems to secure and manage access to user digital assets worldwide. VDSI has a PE ratio of 26.1. Currently there are 2 analysts that rate Vasco Data Security International a buy, no analysts rate it a sell, and none rate it a hold.

The average volume for Vasco Data Security International has been 1.4 million shares per day over the past 30 days. Vasco Data Security International has a market cap of $1.0 billion and is part of the technology sector and computer software & services industry. The stock has a beta of 1.57 and a short float of 20.9% with 1.62 days to cover. Shares are down 17.3% year-to-date as of the close of trading on Monday.


TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Vasco Data Security International as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, notable return on equity, reasonable valuation levels and solid stock price performance. Although no company is perfect, currently we do not see any significant weaknesses which are likely to detract from the generally positive outlook.

Highlights from the ratings report include:

The revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 10.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues rose by 44.3%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
VDSI has no debt to speak of therefore resulting in a debt-to-equity ratio of zero, which we consider to be a relatively favorable sign. Along with this, the company maintains a quick ratio of 3.70, which clearly demonstrates the ability to cover short-term cash needs.
Current return on equity exceeded its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of strength within the company. Compared to other companies in the Software industry and the overall market, VASCO DATA SEC INTL INC's return on equity exceeds that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
Powered by its strong earnings growth of 211.11% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 220.77% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, VDSI should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.

*If the earnings date is in error please ignore error. I do my best.

[Waitedg]

Just a quick message to state VDSI is still on my watch list. It has just broken down below $6. Based on p[rojected .18 earnings for this year stock is still too high price. I guess the .31 concensus for 2011--still nearly a 20 PE--is what is keeping the stock price up. But this is too pricy for my blood. Would not pay over $4.30 for the stock at present. Waitedg

[Waitedg]

Jagman - have no further interest in VDSI unless or until it starts penetrating well below 6.50 in price. Also this market is putting too high a valuation on it for now. Are you going to listen to conference call?

[Jagman]

3:21AM VASCO Data Security misses by $0.04, misses on revs; reaffirms FY10 revs in-line (VDSI) 8.15 : Reports Q1 (Mar) earnings of $0.01 per share, $0.04 worse than the Thomson Reuters consensus of $0.05; revenues rose 3.0% year/year to $23.9 mln vs the $27.2 mln consensus. Co reaffirms in-line guidance for FY10, sees FY10 revs increasing 15.0-20.0% from FY09 level (translates into approx $116.96-122.04 mln vs. $120.14 mln Thomson Reuters consensus). Co reaffirms operating margins for FY10 to be 5.0-10.0%.

http://finance.yahoo.com/marketupdate/inplay#vdsi

http://finance.yahoo.com/news/VASCO-Reports-Results-for-prnews-2946982433.html?x=0&.v=1

[Waitedg]

Jagman - From another board on VDSI:

EPS has been trending down from 90 days ago. One can not expect multiples expansion without EPS and revenue growth.

Current Estimate 0.06 0.07 0.26 0.36
7 Days Ago 0.06 0.07 0.26 0.35
30 Days Ago 0.06 0.07 0.26 0.35
60 Days Ago 0.07 0.09 0.35 0.44
90 Days Ago 0.07 0.09 0.35

All the above reflects is what Hunt said in the last conf call. Still, if we come in at just .06--which is predictive of a .26 year--down from a .33 2009 year--this stock will likely historically drop to a 21 to 22 PE ratio--perhaps 24 at best.

At .26 yearly earnings--down 21% from .09--with a 21 PE low ball figure, we get a target price of 5.46. At 22 and 24 PE's respectively, we get target price projections of 5.72 and 6.24.

As projection in yearly earnings from .26 to .36 (2011) is a 38.5 % increase, I look for the 24 PE holding. thus price of 6.24 being the low unless big market correction. My "nibbling" may start at 6.50--but all bets off if we head toward an August to October "correction". Regardless, I will have some dry ammunition ready--and possible inital margin buying initiated ,once we have a definitive uptrend chart channel established.

I, too, am looking for long term hold on a high interest bearing stock with a little growth potential. So,if all the other factors were equalized, which of the two stocks would be your first buy--if you were just now starting out--PFG or PSEC? Waitedg

[Jagman]

Waitedg, I agree....patience is called for right now, IMO.

VDSI may be approaching buy territory at the 200 ema...but again, the markets could get bad...

"OT - Anticipating a bad overall market. Assuming a pullback to
16.75 to$17 on your PGF or $11 area on your PSEC which would you now buy? You might want to answer on the VDSI Board. Thanks - Waitedg"

[Waitedg]

Jagman - PSEC - looks interesting if a weak market and a drop down to the 11 area. VDSI I think needs reevaluation after the earnings come out and we hear the conference call. VDSI does not leak info--so all investors will be on a pretty even playing field on earnings announcement day.Waitedg

[Waitedg]

DD22 - Will be listening to the conference call--either real time or delayed. Earnings usually posted about 7:00AM and Conf Call at 10:00. Fiscal year ends 12/31. I have most of my funds tied up in FASC at present. But hope to have new funds for second half of 2010.

Sorry - posted this in response to your post, Jagman, by mistake.

[Doubledown22]

Thanks Waitedg. So the company's fiscal year is set up on one that mirrors the U.S. government? 1st Quarter: Oct-Dec, 2nd Qtr:Jan-Mar etc...

On the DOW there are seemingly 2 camps and they are on far ends of the spectrum for opinion of where we go from here. Which isn't surprising for a Bear vs Bull type marketplace. One side I follow says there is a major crash and correction coming as early as next week to August depending on the analyst's opnion of the timeline.

Other camp says cautiously "Happy Days are Here Again" and back the truck up on certain sectors i.e. technology.

Us little guys are left to tread and navigate the muddy, swift and shark ridden waters. I've become more risk averse lately and believe there is some truth to both camps. IMO certain sectors may get beat up and bring the market back down some as whole but certain sectors will be boom town going into the Summer and third quarter.

We'll see,

Are you going to listen to earnings call if they broadcast it live?

DD22

[Jagman]

Waitedg...also watch KERX and AEN. I'm looking for entry points on pullbacks. Lots of gaps to fill on those and have to be patient. More exciting than VDSI....IMO. Both have had good news on new drugs being tested.....both risky.

[Waitedg]

Jagman - Have added PGF and PSEC to my stock watch list. PSEC looks like it might be short term a little vulnerable and might present a good buying opportunity down the road. Am also "nervous" about the overall market right now. VDSI is a very market sensitive stock--and should drop nicely if we have a market correction--assuming it doesn't beat analyst estimates by too much.

[Waitedg]

Doubledown - This information (below) should give us a sense of direction. Jagman has good background in this stock and can help us a lot--if he so chooses. Another factor is that the Dow, now having broken through 11,000, is a question mark also. Nightline had a recent feature stating that its recent growth has been on very light volume. Need caution here. Will be interesting how far in advance the market discounts the invetment of the conpany's revenue in its preparation for excellent 2011 growth and better margins. Yahoo board has a couple of good posters who can help educate here. Waitedg


Apr 11, 2010 (SmarTrend News Watch via COMTEX) -- Analysts, on average, expect VASCO Data Security International (NASDAQ:VDSI) to report earnings of $0.06 on sales of $28 million on April 23, 2010.

For the full year, analysts expect the company to post EPS of $0.27. In the year-ago period, the company reported EPS of $0.09 on sales of $23 million.

In the previous quarter, the company reported EPS of $0.15, topping consensus estimates of $0.09.

[Doubledown22]

thanks for the excellent summary my friend. Short term I would like to see how she acts once she touches the MA200 at around 7.74. That has been nice pps support area the last 2 times it has drifted down and may provide a decent double digit trading pop.

IMO there will be worldly events which may affect this stock this year. i.e. cloud computing data centers take a major security whack and the mobile phone content security market will drive more consumers to look for real established security solutions from companies.

Other than a short term trade on the MA200 support technicals I totally agree with you and won't hold it over the Summer. Anymore I never hold a stock through earnings releases...that is a 50/50 bet. The odds are MUCH better based on the unknown leading up to the release due to the buzz and momentum. From what I have seen it is uncommon for a stock to go down going into earnings release. Afterwards is a different story. Yes I leave money on the table sometimes from positive gappers on earnings surprises BUT you can always enter back into the stock if the fundies are reported to be that solid anyway. Don't know why I shared that but I did

nice PR today,
DD22

[Jagman]

Waitedg...VDSI recovery really depends on banks' recovering, plus some delay while the banks loosen their purse strings. I would trade VDSI based on their earnings dates, but don't know the timing for such trades. Buy before earnings and sell on the news??? Also the 200 ema or drop under the 200 may be a buy point for VDSI from a technical point....I would sell on a rise before earnings announcement in that case.

I've cut back quite a bit on my "risk" capital for trading into retirement.... Holding quite a bit in PGF which is an ETF for bank preferred dividend shares paying out about 8%. Also considering BKCC and PSEC for dividends and stock appreciation.

[Waitedg]

Doubledown - I hope we can keep this board alive. VDSI is a stock to get on our watch list. Before posting too much, will see whether there is any response to this post. Basically VDSI came in with earnings this last fiscal year of .33 with a barnburner 4th Q. But management (which is very honst) stated that for most of 2010 revenue will be plowed back into operations rather than making it to the bottom line. Thus earnings for 2010 are estimated at just .28--about what were the estimates for 2009 before the excellent 4th Q.Company is vertually debt free and Hunt is a good man.

Stock has just broken down below $8 and will likely continue to drift down. At $8 the PE ratio is 28.6 times estimated .28 earnings. This is too high. At about 6 1/2 it is 23.2 times earnings. This is all it is worth. VDSI is volatile, and has been known to have been manipulated by hedge funds. It tends to get way overbought as well as oversold.

Summary: I think 2011 may be an extraordinary year with a good 40% increase over 2010. The PE ratio has been nown to shoot up to 40 to 1. I will be looking to buy here in late fall--especially into tax loss selling season--at somewhere in the 6 to 6 1/2 area. Gives time for good DD and exchange of ideas. Will add more info if we get a board started. Waitedg

[Doubledown22]

I'm interested in VDSI Waitedg...I may consider the Mod position but want to do some more research and DD here before doing that. The cybersecurity sector growing fast and this company seems positioned well to be in the front of it.

I'm also in Ligatt Security (LGTT) which is a very young fledgling company trying to get a toehold in the Cybersecurity market. Unfortunately that company is diluting like crazy trying to raise funds to stay afloat and grow the business.

It will be interesting to pick your brain once I get up to speed a little bit here.

glty,

DD22

[Doubledown22]

Nice move here today Vasco...

[Waitedg]

Starting a new message here after a long period of a very inactive board. I think VDSI is at the start of a very long, sustained upward climb. And I am positioned to take advantage of this with a margined position in the stock, as well as considerable number of February and March call options. (Stock is 7.82 close as I write this and my average cost is 6.96).

Have followed VDSI for 4 years. I think good DD here involves reading Yahoo information, board, as well as the VDSI web site.
Hope there develops some interest among fellow investor in reactivating this board. I am not interested in being moderator, but will discuss and share information with serious investors. Waitedg

[Waitedg]

Added another 25% position today in VDSI at 7.02. Have written Feb 7 1/2 covered calls on first 25% and have order in today to cover the additional 25% position. Expect to get an average .70 for writing the calls--lowereing my adjusted cost basis down to about 6.84 per share.

Terrible market and expected horrible 4th Q report about 2/15. Expect to add the additional 50% position into the quarterly report announcement as it may well drive the stock down closer to $6. Covered calls keeps the price very low. Have done the same with recent purchases of JNJ and GE.
