U.S. DISTRICT JUDGE John C. Coughenour of Seattle rejected several motions filed on behalf of Vasily Gorshkov, 25, seeking to suppress the evidence obtained from the computers. http://www.msnbc.com/news/563379.asp Cyber-crime justifies world government The Council of Europe, enthused by considerable American guidance and support, has issued a proposed final draft for an international cybercrime treaty to harmonize statutes related to electronic criminal activity, cross-border police cooperation, and judicial policy throughout Europe and North America, more or less along lines preferred by the United States. Organized gangsters, terrorists and sexually-exploited children loom large in the document, as they always do when the natural rights of innocent adults are to be sacrificed to law-enforcement expedience. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/19321.html FTC finds Amazon practices 'deceptive' but won't act Bookseller Amazon and its Alexa Internet subsidiary probably deceived consumers when their Internet software secretly passed on personal information to the company, the Federal Trade Commission said. But the FTC said it will not take any action against the online bookseller because one of the software programs in question -- the comparison shopping service zBubbles -- is no longer operational and Alexa has changed its stated privacy policy. http://www.siliconvalley.com/docs/news/tech/034055.htm Echelon 'hampers virus detection' Anti-virus companies have attacked the European Parliament's report on the Echelon spy network which recommends greater use of encryption, warning that encrypted data can hamper virus defence measures. Sophos has issued a warning to users reminding them that although encryption helps to ensure the privacy of an email, it also has ramifications for virus scanning at the internet and gateway level. The company pointed out that the only surefire way of scanning encrypted files was at the desktop, effectively compromising the initial layers of security, such as anti-virus on the mail server. http://www.vnunet.com/News/1122172 ------------------ http://all.net/ Your use of Yahoo!
