With the recent announcement by Sony CEO Doug Morris that Sony will be providing on-demand streaming services for Apple iTunes based upon AnyCastIP technologies, SoniXCast will begin beefing up security by seeking the cooperation of the FBI Cybercrimes Division in an effort to stop cybercriminals in their tracks.
SoniXCast developers demonstrated to Sony on Monday June 15th 2015, software which can determine the source IP-Address of an attacking host regardless how many network hops or what type of spoofing technology is used. Having the real IP-Address makes it possible to determine the Internet Service Provider and with the help of local law enforcement, ultimately the home address of the attacker.
The AnyCastIP network which consists of 24 independent nodes placed strategically worldwide, offers the unique ability to correlate network connections from multiple vantage points. The software was originally developed to ferret out members of the cybercriminal group associated with the controversial German performance rights organization Gema who were involved in the attacks on SoniXCast infrastructure in June 2013 and July 2014.
SoniXCast released the new security platform in it’s own network with minimal fanfare on January 1st 2015 and have just recently completed the update of their server farm. Persons who now access SoniXCast systems without appropriate access now receive a notification, their network connection is evaluated and depending on the severity of the infraction, are reported directly to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (http://www.ic3.gov/).
