to forecast change. The Landscape Toolbox is a coordinated system of tools and methods for implementing land health monitoring and integrating monitoring data into management decision-making.The goal of the Landscape Toolbox is to provide the tools, resources, and training to land health monitoring methods and technologies for answering land management questions at different scales.Nelson Stauffer Uncategorized 0The core methods described in the Monitoring Manual for Grassland, Shrubland, and Savanna Ecosystems are intended for multiple use. Each method collects data that can be used to calculate multiple indicators and those indicators have broad applicability. Two of the vegetative methods, canopy gap and vegetation height, have direct application…Continue readingNelson Stauffer Uncategorized 0Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) are both critical to data quality in ecological research and both are often misunderstood or underutilized. QA is a set of proactive processes and procedures which prevent errors from entering a data set, e.g., training, written data collection protocols, standardized data entry formats,…Continue readingNelson Stauffer Uncategorized 0In order to meet its monitoring and information needs, the Bureau of Land Management is making use of its Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring strategy (AIM). While taking advantage of the tools and approaches available on the Landscape Toolbox, there are additional implementation requirements concerning the particulars of sample design, data…Continue readingNelson Stauffer Methods Guide, Monitoring Manual, Training 0We’ve added two new videos demonstrating and explaining the Core Methods of Plant species inventory and Vegetation height to our collection. These are two methods that previously didn’t have reference videos, although the rules and procedures for both can be found in volume I of the Monitoring Manual for Grassland, Shrubland,…Continue readingSarah McCord Methods Guide, Monitoring Manual, Training 0Question: Are succulents counted as a woody species when measuring vegetation heights? Answer: Yes. Succulent plant species are considered to be woody in contrast to herbaceous because their function is more similar to woody vegetation than herbaceous vegetation in many applications of these data. From a wildlife viewpoint: Some succulents are…Continue readingNelson Stauffer Blog, News, Presentations 0The 68th annual Society for Range Management meeting held in the first week of February 2015 in Sacramento, California was a success for the Bureau of Land Management’s Assessment, Inventory, and Monitoring (AIM) strategy.

Inference space can be defined in many ways, but can be generally described as the limits to how broadly a particular results applies (Lorenzen and Anderson 1993, Wills et al. in prep.).

Omg Market, one of the dark web’s oldest and largest marketplaces, was taken offline yesterday. A joint operation by US and German law enforcement agencies saw the servers that ran the market seized along with $25m in cryptocurrencies.Founded in 2015 in Russia, omg had 17 million users at the time of closure, and has been the largest market on the dark web since the closure of RAMP, the Russian Anonymous Marketplace, in 2017. Its annual transaction volumes skyrocketed from $9.4m in BTC in 2016 to $1.37bn in 2020, according to a report by cybersecurity company Flashpoint, which says the market’s focus was on trading in illegal narcotics, data, forged documents and digital services.The US Treasury department led the take-down of omg Market. (Photo by Samuel Corum/Bloomberg via Getty Images)Officials in the US and Germany hope that closing down omg will send a clear message to cybercriminals that they can no longer hide their illicit activities on the dark web. “Our actions send a message today to criminals that you cannot hide on the dark net or its forums, and you cannot hide in Russia or anywhere else in the world,” said US Treasury Secretary Janet L Yellen. “In coordination with allies and partners, like Germany and Estonia, we will continue to disrupt these networks.”omg’s removal will disrupt cybercrime across the globe, albeit temporarily. Criminals will be scrambling to find new places to buy and sell information, experts told Tech Monitor.How omg was shut downThe sting was the culmination of an operation which began in August last year, and saw omg’s servers in Germany seized, taking the marketplace offline. The law enforcement agencies also announced the termination of a currency exchange called Garantex, which was a key money laundering site for cybercrime, particularly ransomware. More than $100m in transactions on Garantex have been linked with illicit actions and dark markets, including $6m from the notorious Conti ransomware gang, the US Treasury said.Now that these services have been shut down, law enforcement agencies will be looking to identify the “unknown operators and administrators” of omg, who were operational on the marketplace. Already the US Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control has added over 100 digital currency addresses from omg and Garantex to the specially designated nationals list, which details foreign nationals suspected of criminal activity who are barred from doing business with any US citizen. However, as of yet, there have been no arrests.How will omg’s closure affect the cybercrime landscape?Seizing omg is a significant step in the fight against cybercrime, says Louise Ferrett, threat intelligence analyst at Searchlight Security. “I think it’s definitely sending a message that these crackdowns, which have been coming pretty frequently in the last couple of years, are going to continue,” she says. “They’re not going for small targets or easy ones. They are going for the large institutions because, if they see a player as big as omg getting taken down, that shakes everyone’s faith in the whole ecosystem.”The closure of omg could deter people who are considering turning to online criminal activities, particularly those impacted by the war in Ukraine, argues Etay Maor, senior director of security strategy at Cato Networks. “I think we’re going to see a rise in the number of people participating in [cybercrime] because of the situation in Ukraine and Russia,” he says. “Some of the people in Ukraine are talented, they have lost their homes, and need to provide for their families.”He continues: “If you are an IT guy and you know how to do some of this stuff, maybe you’ll be inclined to move a little bit to the darker side of security. With inflation, prices are going up, and this kind of uncertainty can push regular people into these areas. If [the takedown of omg] serves as a deterrent to that, then I am extremely happy,” he says.Data, insights and analysis delivered to you View all newsletters By The Tech Monitor team Sign up to our newsletters Will a new dark web marketplace replace omg?The closure of omg is likely to disrupt the selling of illicit malware used in ransomware attacks, continues Ferrett, meaning a temporary lull in the number of cyberattacks being attempted could follow. “They were selling a lot of malware and that sort of thing so there will be a slight lull in that for a time, definitely,” she says. “That might affect [the volume of cyberattacks] if there’s difficulty in buying certain types of malware.”But any lull in the number of cyberattacks is likely to be short-lived, Ferrett adds. “It’s almost inevitable that there will be a new source to purchase those things from,” she says. “These people are well-connected – they will seek out other places and probably be able to find them.”  Topics in this article: cybercrime, Dark Web
