Indeed, the pace of attacks on Israeli Web sites has slowed sharply this year, even as numerous Palestinian government sites have been unreachable due to the conflict in the region. http://www.newsbytes.com/news/02/175980.html ISP forced to pull 'sabotage' site German railway company wins court battle. A Dutch court has upheld a request from German railway company Deutsche Bahn to order internet service provider XS4All to remove documents published by dissident group Radikal. The group advocates disrupting nuclear waste shipments by cutting overhead power lines on train tracks. An XS4All spokesman said that Deutsche Bahn wanted to block the home page of one of its users because it contained two 'sabotage' articles from 1996. http://www.vnunet.com/News/1131036 HP worker fired for leaking memo HP has fired an employee who admitted leaking two company memos to the media, Carly Fiorina, the company's chief executive, said Wednesday. In a message to employees that was released publicly, Fiorina also said the company is making progress in its investigation of an internal voice-mail message sent to the Mercury News last week. http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/business/companies/hewlett_p= a=20 ckard/3085847.htm Rep. Goodlatte Calls For 'War' Against Digital Piracy At a digital music conference today, Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., said that legislators and law enforcers would have to fight and win a "war" against online piracy in order for the digital marketplace to have any chance of realizing its full potential. "This war against piracy must be waged on several different fronts, including the commitment of adequate resources to law enforcement, the cooperation of various industry players, and the education of consumers," Goodlatte said in prepared remarks. http://www.newsbytes.com/news/02/175995.html Biting further into 'Carnivore' The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) has won another round in its effort to obtain further information regarding "Carnivore," the FBI's Internet surveillance system. In an order dated March 25, a federal trial court in Washington, D.C., commanded the FBI to search for further records relating to Carnivore within 60 days. In tandem with records already produced, EPIC may soon get to the heart of Carnivore. The Carnivore Internet monitoring system raises questions about the appropriate balance between privacy and national security/law enforcement interests. http://www.usatoday.com/life/cyber/ccarch/2002/04/18/sinrod.htm http://www.wired.com/news/privacy/0,1848,51917,00.html The Security Sentinels Here are the tales of three trailblazers whose work in computer security and forensics have helped shape modern practices. As far back as the 1970s, three women began preparing the world for the havoc about to be unleashed by networked computing. From their humble origins in law enforcement and academia, their influence on computer security practices has spread to government and private sector alike - despite the fact that two of the women had virtually no IT or scientific backgrounds. http://www.computerworld.com/cwi/stories/0,1199,NAV47-81_STO69872,00.html Not just sci-fi: Uncrackable encryption When I first heard about the encryption technique developed by Dr. Richard Hughes, it sounded like science fiction. After he explained it to me in detail, it still sounded like science fiction. Imagine, if you will, a means of delivering encryption keys that is so secure that it's impossible to break because doing so would violate the laws of physics. In other words, the delivery method is so secure, it's protected by the very fabric of the universe. http://techupdate.zdnet.com/techupdate/stories/main/0,14179,2861716,00.html National ID Plans Face Hurdles Distributing thousands of card readers, guarding against corrupt insiders, defending against fraudsters and hack attacks... Plans to create a national ID card are fraught with peril. The attacks of September 11 prompted several proposals for national identification cards, but such systems have not been adequately evaluated to determine their overall goals and prevent potential abuses, according to panelists at the Computers Freedom and Privacy Conference, which opened today in San Francisco. http://online.securityfocus.com/news/371 Lawmakers Will Move To Block Spectrum Auction A quartet of influential House lawmakers say they will attempt to block the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) plan to auction off a valuable swath of airwave spectrum. "This auction is not ready for prime time," House Commerce Committee aide Ken Johnson said today. "The FCC has no (third-generation wireless) plan in place, they have no (high-definition television) plan in place and most importantly, they have no spectrum management plan in place." http://www.newsbytes.com/news/02/175991.html ------------------------ Yahoo!
