The laptop was thought to contain vital information about new weapons systems, it said. The Mirror said the official had notified police about the missing laptop. No immediate comment was available from the Defense Ministry or police. It was the latest of several laptops with military or intelligence information reported lost in Britain in just over a year. http://www.siliconvalley.com/docs/news/reuters_wire/1088103l.htm http://www.techtv.com/news/hackingandsecurity/story/0,24195,3322329,00.html http://www.msnbc.com/news/560138.asp Morocco bans access to radical islamists' Web sites Morocco's main Islamist opposition group said on Monday the government had banned local access to its Internet Web sites. The al-Adl Wal Ihsane (Justice and Charity) group launched two Web sites last August through local providers to communicate with supporters and circumvent an official ban on its activity and publications. ``In the past two weeks, access to our Web sites has not been possible for our supporters and the Moroccan people due to a technical ban imposed by the authorities to silence our movement,'' Kamil Yassine, a leading member of the group, told Reuters. http://www.siliconvalley.com/docs/news/reuters_wire/1090986l.htm FCC Nixes FBI's Plan To Change Wiretap Law The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) today denied an FBI request to change a federal eavesdropping statute, a move that would have forced telecom carriers to keep a tighter leash on employees who carry out court-ordered wiretaps. The FBI had asked the commission for "more effective personnel security obligations" at telecom companies to "ensure the trustworthiness of the private- company employees who have become increasingly responsible for implementing electronic surveillance." The additional security steps would have required carriers to maintain a list of personal information on employees who conduct wiretaps. Carrier employees would also have to sign nondisclosure agreements and agree to undergo thorough background checks by the FBI. The added rules also would have required carriers to report breaches of systems security within two hours. http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/164541.html EX-SOVIET STATES A HOTBED FOR WORLD-CLASS HACKING Tonu Samuel says he is part of the solution to the growing threat from computer hackers and Cybercriminals. The Estonian Internet company whose system Samuel hacked into says he is part of the problem. Their dispute is a small one in a small nation, but it captures the challenges facing companies and governments in the Internet age. Information that should be private and protected--telephone records, Internet passwords, credit card numbers and PINs, and medical histories--is proving vulnerable to a growing legion of hackers in Estonia and elsewhere in the former Soviet Union. http://chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/article/0,2669,SAV-0104150339,FF.html We thank Deputy Ron Levine for his generous contribution toward this forum. ------------------------ Yahoo!
