'Cyber-Terrorist' Jailed Again
Jim Bell is nothing if not determined. Just seven
months after being released from prison, the 42
year-old convicted felon whom the U.S. government
once dubbed a techno-terrorist is back in jail,
this time for allegedly threatening federal
officials. Bell was arrested last Friday, a week
after the IRS and U.S. Marshals raided the home
he shares with his parents in Vancouver,
Washington. He has been charged with violating
federal stalking laws.

Swimmer hacked by email intruder
Aussie Olympic swimming hero Grant Hackett has
been left red-faced and fuming after his email
account was used to send around 50 abusive
messages to friends and colleagues. The outspoken
and sometimes controversial star believes a rival
swimmer must be behind the hack attack. "People
have sent emails to me and he, or whoever it is,
has sent emails back to them being abusive, calling
them f-word names and telling them to stop sending
me letters. [He's] trying to break up friendships
with people I know," Hackett told reporters.

DOJ review clears Carnivore [Why am I not surprised? - FC]
A draft review of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's
Carnivore Internet surveillance system expresses
confidence overall in the government's continued
use of the eavesdropping software. But it also
urges changes in the way agents adjust the program's
intricate settings for fear that simple errors could
allow the FBI to mistakenly capture e-mail, Web
browsing or other data from innocent citizens. The
draft study, being released Tuesday by the Justice
Department, also will urge FBI engineers to build
better mechanisms into Carnivore to detect
tampering with digital evidence. But the draft's
findings generally represent a victory for the
bureau, which had faced a firestorm of criticism
over its software's capabilities.

Report warns of global e-security underspending
E-businesses are massively underspending on network
security, according to a white paper by U.K.-based
research firm Datamonitor. The company estimates
that $15 billion is lost each year through
e-security breaches, while global spend on defenses
is only $8.7 billion. The report, eSecurity -
removing the roadblock to eBusiness, predicts that
this figure will increase to $30.3 billion by 2005
as companies become more knowledgeable about flaws
in their existing systems and solutions available
to combat them. Virtual private networks (VPNs)
and public key infrastructure (PKI) will be the
hottest growth markets.
