We were traveling with a large group, with varying ages and opinions so I did a lot of research prior to selecting Captain George's for our seafood dinner. So we paid $49 for some crab legs and a salad. The crab legs were separate from the buffet line and served by an employee, so that seemed like the safest option. The manager provided a QR code to scan so we knew which buffet items were gluten-free, but the cross-contamination risk seemed high. Then he didn’t bring any dressing for the salad, so by the time we flagged him down to get the dressing we had been there 30 min! Although their website promised that those who are gluten-free could request that their food selections could be served directly from the kitchen to eliminate the possibility of cross-contamination, we had to have a stern conversation with our server and talk to the manager just to get a safe salad for my daughter who has celiac disease.

It's unclear if the company paid the ransom or not, but TSMC stated that the attack did not interfere with regular operations.

Responsible companies either never purchased from China or stopped back it 2001. The Anti-Competition Club members know that US Chinese List Brokers are being watched and showing up on multiple victims list is getting embarrassing so they have moved on to Canadian and European Chinese List Brokers. They are the go to Brokers when you know you can't go to China you get someone else to do it for you. There is hundreds of what we call Chinese List Brokers. These Anti-Competition Clubs use lots of tricks to disguise what they are doing.Įveryone in the business of Independent Distribution knew exactly what JFBK, JJ Electronics, MVP et al and Vision Tech was doing. Sometimes they are in the same building just different office suite. In my opinion if there is an overlap in ownership and employees it's the same company. ![]() You might not see a club member on the list because they do their shady buying under one of their other company names. They have the same employees and ownership. It's just manipulated, by companies who belong to these clubs. “One must wonder which defense contractor, medical device manufacturer or other manufacturing sector received from VisionTech counterfeit integrated circuits ‘refurbed’ by a child,” the memo cautions. In the memo, the government admits that “there is no way to know where those have ended up.” It goes on to describe a disturbing photo found during the investigation of a young boy, believed to be Wren’s son, seated at a work table equipped with tools for “refurbishing,” including a toothbrush, an eraser, and Armor All (presumably to make the parts look clean and shiny). Some 42 percent of MDA contractors are Tier 4 or lower suppliers, notes Schipp. Small suppliers, in particular, still don’t believe they could possibly get a counterfeit or that if they do it would be easily detected and replaced. MDA has issued an advisory to determine potential usage of VisionTech parts either directly or indirectly by its suppliers. The list of domestic VisionTech customers includes 84 percent of members of the Independent Distributors of Electronics Association (IDEA) and 44 percent of the members of ERAI, says Schipp. In this case, it was counterfeit memory chips in computers for Terminal High Altitude Area Defense missiles.) (The MDA was one of the government agencies found by the Senate Armed Service investigation to have included counterfeit components in a missile system. “The chance that you had somebody on your approved supplier list that did buy from VisionTech is probably 100 percent,” according to Fred Schipp, an electrical engineer within the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) Quality and Safety Organization’s Part and Materials Advisory Group, who spoke on a panel at a conference on counterfeit electronics this summer. “A downstream buyer would not likely know that parts it acquired or systems it acquired from an intermediary source contained counterfeit devices that were imported and sold by VisionTech,” said the memo. ![]() ![]() Now that we have SSM available for instances, let's create a sample script that we would like to run on a regular basis across all our EC2 instances. I am using a managed policy for simplicity, but I recommend creating your own policy with limited permissions instead, as most managed policies are too permissive. arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore Here is a CloudFormation snippet to create an instance profile and a role that allows the EC2 instance to leverage SSM: SSMProfile:ĭescription: Basic SSM permissions for EC2 An SSM agent installed and running on the EC2 instance.A Role that can assume permissions for SSM tasks.An Instance profile we can attach to EC2 instances.In order to leverage SSM, we need a few things: The full CloudFormation template for deploying a SystemsManager enabled instance with a sample automation document can be found on my GitHub. The templates shown in this article don't depend on other templates in my Advanced AWS security architecture series, but you might be interested in reading the first article before taking on this one. In this article, we'll be walking through an initial SSM setup, testing SSH to an EC2 instance along with a tunnel to RDS, and then configuring automated patching and security checks for that instance. Full SSH session logging is simple to enable (I actually recommend disabling this unless you really need it to avoid storing sensitive information in these logs).Enforced security standards on OS level hardening or agent installs.We can also pick up a couple of extra security goodies when moving to systems manager: In 2019, AWS announced tunneling support for SSH and SCP with Systems Manager, meaning that Bastion hosts can be replaced for most use cases. While this method is good because it reduces the attack surface area and gives a single point of control, it also increases overall cost of maintenance and results in a pretty risky server. Sometimes, the bastion host is used to tunnel to databases or other more sensitive ports as well, though I generally prefer to chain SSH -> bastion -> application server -> DB/etc. A dedicated "bastion" server is provisioned with SSH ports exposed to an internal network, or in some cases the internet, so that other servers do not have to expose their own SSH ports. I need the bastion to automatically forward port 22 traffic to the VNC port, for my user only if possible but not 100% required.When I first started using AWS environments, the Bastion architecture was prevalent as the way to setup SSH connections. I do not have root access on the bastion host.Īll of the solutions I've found so far involve SSHing via command line, not using VNC. Now my issues is I don't know how to get my bastion host to forward incoming port 22 for my user to the destination port 5905, in my case. My idea was to use TightVNC viewer and SSH tunnel through the bastion host to the GUI instance. Now I can only use port 22 to the bastion host but all outgoing connections are enabled. Problem: I need to be able to access that WebLogic server via internet browser through the bastion host.
