Three local government Web sites in Wales have admitted to receiving simultaneous hacking attempts in the last week. The official Web sites of Carmarthenshire County Council, Pembrokeshire County Council and the town of Abergavenny were all compromised this week when hackers broke into the servers and attempted to deface the sites' homepages. http://news.zdnet.co.uk/story/0,,t269-s2092117,00.html FBI cyber-braniacs infect themselves with SirCam We've long been at a loss to identify a single job that the FBI's elite Net-security squad at the National Infrastructure Protection Center (NIPC) performs adequately. In May the Congressional General Accounting Office (GAO) released a scathing report cataloging NIPC's chronic dysfunction, so it was with delicious irony that on Wednesday, after managing to infect its own networks with the SirCam e-mail worm, NIPC told Congress that it would disgrace itself a good deal less often if it had a bigger budget. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/20678.html India Hackers Scared Straight? Indian hackers always thought they were too sophisticated to fall into the hands of the rough cops in this country, whom various human rights groups routinely accuse of brutality. But that feeling evaporated after one of the four people arrested recently in connection with a hacking incident accused Mumbai police of breaking his hand during interrogation. While the charge hasn't been substantiated, hackers in Mumbai admitted to being petrified. And the police, while denying the incident, don't sound too apologetic. http://www.wired.com/news/culture/0%2C1284%2C45569%2C00.html Software scans crowd movement for trouble Singapore scientists have created new software that may beef up future surveillance efforts by distinguishing between people's normal activities and suspicious behavior. The software, created by researchers at the Nanyang Technological University, can tell the difference between people walking, talking and acting normally, and abnormal behavior such as a fight or someone collapsing. The Singapore team recorded and classified 73 features of human movement, such as speed, direction, shape and pattern. The features were then used with existing "neural network" software, which can learn and remember patterns, to create a new program. http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-6696914.html ------------------------ Yahoo!
