The Best Secure USB FlashDrive- IronKey

If you think of the best secure flashdrive to use, then that would be the IronKey Flash Drive. All data stored on an IronKey drive is encrypted with a high-speed military-grade hardware encryption. Unlike software-based encryption, hardware-based protection is "always-on" and cannot be disabled.

The files on the IronKey USB stick can only be accessed once a correct password is authenticated. In addition to this, since the encryption and password verification are being performed on the hardware, it cannot be disabled by worms, viruses, or other malware.

You can read IronKey reviews here (IronKey Personal, Business, or Government), but the bottom-line are:

•Fast 30MBPS Read and 20MBPS Write (Compare this with the USB SuperSpeed 3.0)
•Drive contents are encrypted with AES CBC-Mode Encryption
•Onboard IronKey Password-manager keeping all your internet passwords safe
•Include secure version of Firefox that encrypts all your web-surfing traffic
•Encased in a potted metal case, not plastic (making it one of the strongest USB)
•Exceeds MIL-STD-810F military waterproofing standards
•The encryption chip self-destructs if an invasive attack is detected
•Once Ironkey is lost, you can restore from a secure backup to a new Ironkey in minutes
•Dual channel SLC NAND Flash for high-quality and read/write speeds
•Works great in Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Linux and Mac OS X (requires Windows intialization before working on Linux and Mac)

IronKey drive is not available outside the 50 United States. If you think the product is already available on other countries, just leave a comment below and also indicate the source so I can update this post.

RQ-170 Sentinel "Beast of Kandahar" Photos

The latest Yahoo! news says that the US Air Force confirmed that it is flying a Stealth unmanned aircraft, the RQ-170 Sentinel, also known as the Beast of Kandahar. They called the aircraft as the "Beast of Kandahar" because when photographs first emerged in 2007, they were taken in Afghanistan.

Out of curiosity about Stealths, this lead me to search some images of the said Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). Could the images below that is said to be spotted in Kandahar be the RQ-170?

It is said that the RQ-170 Sentinel is being developed by Lockheed Martin and is designed "to provide reconnaissance and surveillance support to forward deployed combat forces".

Maybank Online Alert - A Phishing Scam

Receiving phishing emails is not new to me. In fact, I blogged before about how email users can identify phishing emails. Just three days ago, I received again an email which I thought trying to extract some sensitive information.
It was said to be an Online Alert from Maybank, the largest financial services group in Malaysia listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange. Just check the screenshot below to see how the email looks like.


The signature below the message used the name Maybank Berhad, with a website address http://www.maybank2u.com.my
I checked the website by typing manually the URL on my browser's address bar, and I was diverted to the legitimate website of Maybank. However, when I hovered the cursor over http://www.maybank2u.com.my- there I was able to check that the Maybank website was only used as an anchor text of the real site which I was about to be diverted once I clicked the link. Clicking http://www.maybank2u.com.my on the email will divert you directly to http://mail.rohnnet.com/ ... This prompted me to conduct a WHOIS search so I can track this phising email.

The email sender used at Thu, 26 Nov 2009 00:49:46 +0100 the IP address: 85.114.46.90 from Croatia, Vukovar. Take a look on these details:

The information on the WHOIS search I conducted is for reference only. I didn't guarantee my readers the full accuracy of the result since I used third party software. However, I'm certain that the email is a phishing type... So beware!
