Paul Trummel, 69, was for approximately two years a resident of Council House, a residence in the Capitol Hill section of Seattle whose construction was funded by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). http://www.newsbytes.com/news/02/175514.html Air Force fights off probes An unusually high number of electronic probes were made against the computer network at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, last week, but the system was not hacked, according to the Air Force. About 125,000 attempts were made between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m. on March 22, said Lt. Tana Hamilton, a public affairs officer at the Aeronautical Systems Center. She confirmed earlier media reports that the probes originated outside the United States, but said she could not detail any of the Air Force's subsequent security or investigation procedures. http://www.fcw.com/fcw/articles/2002/0325/web-af-03-27-02.asp Judge Orders FBI To Turn Up More Carnivore Data A federal judge this week ordered the U.S. Justice Department to turn over more information about a controversial FBI e-mail surveillance device known as "Carnivore." Responding to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed by the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC), the FBI last year turned over more than 1,600 pages of material on Carnivore, which can sift through thousands of e-mail messages to find incriminating evidence. http://www.newsbytes.com/news/02/175507.html Gilmore warns of threat to information systems If terrorists strike the United States again, their targets could be information systems or critical systems infrastructures, former Virginia governor James Gilmore said yesterday. "Cyberattacks or attacks on critical infrastructures are the most likely next attacks," Gilmore said at a panel discussion sponsored by Johns Hopkins University's Information Security Institute in Laurel, Md. He is chairman of the National Advisory Panel to Assess Domestic Response Capabilities for Terrorism Involving Weapons of Mass Destruction. http://www.gcn.com/vol1_no1/daily-updates/18260-1.html Virus Industry's Research Center Runs Out Of Money From his home in the high desert of southern Nevada, Shane Coursen maintains one of the largest collections of active computer viruses in the world. Although the anti-virus industry depends heavily on his definitive list of "in-the-wild" viruses, Coursen, the chief executive of WildList Organization, says he no longer can afford to keep the roof over his head. http://www.newsbytes.com/news/02/175509.html Disney chief Eisner recruits Abe Lincoln in piracy fight Disney CEO Michael Eisner has recruited Abraham Lincoln, Vaclav Havel, Douglass North and Sigmund Eisner (relation) for his campaign against intellectual property pilfering on the Internet. And we want some of whatever his speech writers are smoking. In a piece published in today's Financial Times, Eisner announces that Lincoln would have been thrilled by the Internet, describes him as a "great patenter," and finds some favourable comment from Lincoln on patenting. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/6/24594.html Drive-by hacking linked to cyberterror The most comprehensive study of the insecurity of wireless networks in London to date has discovered that 94 per cent are leaving their networks open to drive-by hacking. This possibly worthwhile survey is undermined by the cyberterrorism FUD spin put on the release. A seven-month investigation of 5,000 wireless systems was conducted by IT security specialists Digilog, in collaboration with the International Chamber of Commerce's Cybercrime (ICC) Unit, who are using the survey to promote an anti-hacking service. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/24611.html Information warfare is within reach for the educated terrorist THE terrorist incident of 11 September reminded governments around the world that there are extremist factions with the capability to do major damage to all levels of the economy. However, it is not just the real world which needs protection from those with evil intent. Information attacks by terrorist organisations - or even state-sponsored attacks - with the potential to wreak havoc for governments, commerce and industry, academia and even home users are now a technical possibility. http://www.thescotsman.co.uk/business.cfm?id=332232002 ------------------------ Yahoo!
