Seattle defense attorney John Lundin told Reuters that he will use the same argument Russia's state security service FSB has used -- that the FBI acted criminally in its attempt to nab his client Vasiliy Gorshkov -- in an appeal he expects to file after Gorshkov is sentenced Sept. 13 in federal court in Seattle. http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/news/editorial/3925405.htm http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/techpolicy/2002-08-23-russian-hack_x.htm Minnow ISP aims counterstrike at RIAA 'legal hackers' A small US internet service provider has become the first to introduce a policy of deliberately hampering the music recording industry's efforts to hack users of peer-to-peer file-trading networks, writes Kevin Murphy.

Michael Erbschloe, the company's vice president of research, says a variety of factors prompted the 233 companies who responded to the survey to undertake new security measures in the last year. http://abcnews.go.com/sections/business/TechTV/techtv_cyberattacks020823.html Israeli firm unveils the 'copy-proof' CD An Israeli security firm has developed a smart- card based copy protection technology that it claims can prevent software piracy. The technology, called OpSecure from start-up firm Doc-Witness, features a smart card embedded within an optical disc, which can run on conventional PC CD or DVD drives. However the embedded smart card, which is needed to decrypt the disc's content, will frustrate any attempts to copy the disc. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/54/26810.html ------------------------ Yahoo!
