Hacker wanted by Claudia Sonea

Without any scruples now hackers even post ads on underground channels. If you were wondering what for are they posting, then you should know that they are looking for computer virus writers who are fluent in Mandarin, Russian or Portuguese. It is wired at a first look that they actually look someone knowing these languages, but in fact they are genius. These malicious code designers focus on programmers with foreign-language skills in order to launch country-specific attacks, according to security vendor McAfee Inc. Their main means, web pages and spam e-mails, used to trick people into download viruses or reveal personal information like credit card numbers, must be compelling and grammatically correct. Thus they now localize their targeting better software and sites popular in specific countries like peer-to-peer network applications in Japan, online gaming sites in China, and so on and so forth. Another factor that they keep in count by localizing is a country with lax law enforcement. McAfee Inc reported that due to the fact that 67 percent of spam is now written in English, they deduct a broadband penetration of attacks in non-English languages. The financial earnings make hackers more and more sophisticated about the baits that will work on their targets. David Marcus, security research and communications manager with McAfee, acknowledges that hackers are getting better and better and they are expanding their business to a global level. Therefore it is not surprising for them to have recruitment pitches that often take two forms: hackers looking to employ virus-writers to design spam and Web sites in local languages, and those wanting to trade malicious programs in different languages. It takes a lot of time to create a perfect malicious program and what is scary is that they are getting closer and closer to perfection and they are always looking for better ways of penetrating a user life. Take care don't download, nor read emails, unless they are from people you know. Stay connected and find out what is the best way to protect your computer.

E-crimes are knocking at our doors by Ana Maria Ciobanu

Nowadays we have to beware of e-crimes, as if we had nothing to fear and worry about before the Internet was discovered.The Lords Science and Technology Committee have stated that the Internet is now "the playground of criminals". They've released a report and they recommend the Government to renounce to their "Wild West" approach of leaving internet security up to the individual.A Home Office spokesperson responded by saying the report is being examined by the Government and that they will soon release an answer.It was about time someone pulled down the alarm and officially state individuals can't be relied on to take responsibility for their own security.We are all just sure victims of "the bad guys".The report doesn't talk about sad, lonely hackers, it talks about organized crime.No accurate statistics about e-crime have been published but the public anxiety in this domain is increasing rapidly.The House of Lords report cited a government survey that suggested more Britons feared internet crime than burglary.Internet crimes can include malicious hackers who take control over your computer, online scams where fake websites are used to try to trick people into giving away their confidential information, such as bank details.The Internet has evolved quicker than our laws have. It was only natural the criminals would take advantage of this fact and make us beware of one more thing.

Patents up by Claudia Sonea

Hanover is well-known for the Royal Gardens of Herrenhausen (the only one in its original state from Germany), for Grotto, the Galery Building, but also for the world's largest computer exhibition and fair that covers all areas of technology. Typically the attendance at this fair is around 200000 visitors and 6000 exhibitors. This year the Hanover fair was marked by the intervention of the Police and customs officials due to suspicions of patent violations seized. According to the authorities' statement on Thursday 180 officials took part in the searches held on Wednesday and confiscated gadgets like cell phones, navigation devices, electronic picture frames and flat-screen devices and others. Thus at the annual CeBIT trade and technology fair 68 boxes were filled with gadgets, documents and advertising material. As a result of the numerous complaints from the holders of patent rights, the investigation affected 51 exhibitors who were signaled for patent violations regarding MP3, MP4 or digital video broadcast functions, DVD players and blank CDs and DVDs. One person refused to cooperate and was taken by the authorities. Mainly the exhibitors were from China and it was therefore no surprise that they were among the affected ones with 24 people from mainland China, three from Hong Kong and 12 from Taiwan. Also there were nine Germans, and one from Poland, one from the Netherlands and another one from Korea. No matter the outcome, patent violations represent a serious threat and police is doing well in assuring things. Too bad that that annual Hanover fair was marked by such incidents, but there are more days of exhibition hopefully and things will go smoother.

SigEx Telecom : Printers may shorten your lifespan

A study recently conducted by a team from Australia's International Laboratory for Air Quality and Health shows that pollution in your office could be very high due to intense use of laser printers. No particular brand of printers was found to be more polluting than others but the toner is considered to be the component that's doing all the damage. It seems that full toners in use produce very small particles that can enter our lungs and cause long-term problems; this just adds to the long list of things that kill us slowly when at work, along with cigarette smoke, heating and cooling equipment and ventilation systems. Another study conducted in Helsinki in 1999 shows that chemicals used in copy self-copying paper and photo copying machines led to breathing problems. This study also found that working in front of a computer for long hours will cause eye and muscle problems, but this particular finding shouldn't surprise anyone anymore. Strong light and glare from computer monitors cause eyes to feel sore, as do flickering neon lights, both of which should regularly be changed to avoid severe problems. All of this pollution is reducing productivity and causing what is known as "the sick building syndrome", making workers lose about 4.5 work hours a week. These are frequent problems in the life of today's worker, who also has to face stress and longer working hours. The best advice are to have your desk close to a window for natural light, to replace or clean light bulbs once in a while, move copy machines to a separate and ventilated area and keep your own office well ventilated.

Mortgage data leaked over file network by Notme dfsfs

Citigroup confirmed that files involving names, Social Security numbers and credit information of 5,208 customers were leaked by an employee of its ABN Amro Mortgage Group unit onto the LimeWire peer-to-peer file-sharing network.Tiversa Inc. a company that offers data-leakage protection services, founded Excel spreadsheets from the desktop of a financial analyst ABN Amro Mortgage Group running LimeWire.The information exposed on LimeWire could get to million of users from around the world, given that there are at least 10 million nodes online in a P2P file-sharing network at any point in time."As an identity thief, [that gives you] the keys to [those individuals'] digital life," said Chris Gormley, Tiversa's chief operating officer.The employee of ABN Amro responsible for the leakage told to the Dow Jones Newswire that she wasn't aware of the breach before Dow Jones contacted her on Sept. 20.Earlier in September, in Seattle a man was arrested in what the Justice Department said was the first case brought against someone for using file-sharing data to commit identity theft. Gregory Thomas Kopiloff pleaded not guilty. In a statement, Michael Hanretta, a spokesman for ABN parent company Citigroup Inc., said that the company is also investigating."Citi's information-security standards require that confidential information be stored on Citi-managed devices," he said. "Protecting customer information remains a priority at Citi and we remain fully committed to physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect personal information."

Security during Christmas by Ludmila Martinicka

You know it very well. You want to win the best Christmas decoration competition this year. You can't stand the Mrs. X from the next door always winning. It must be you. You bought the newest set of lights available on the market. It is colorful, flashing in five modes. Did you assure yourself it is used for outside decoration?Yes, the security don't come to our minds during Christmas. We think about the food, gifts, Christmas tree,... lot of things. May be this is also a reason, why so many accidents happen on Christmas day. People are tired from the preparation, happy to reach the Christmas Eve happily and forget to take care of electric stuff.Lights on the tree, around the window, outside on the balcony, maybe also on your roof. Please, be careful about this and don't hazard with electricity. Check the wire before installing it. Frayed or exposed wire can cause an electrocusion or a fire.It is good to look into instruction of the producer. Some wires are specialized for outdoor decoration, some can be used only inside. Check the cable and the bulbs, change the blow ones.Electricity is not the only danger. Do your best not to annoy your relatives. If you do, you risk flying gifts, Christmas tree or ... whatever. It could be dangerous and put you in a real trouble. Best driving mad methods are... you know best, so avoid them. For the Christmas spirit, for your health and security and for the peace of your neighbors. Enjoy the Christmas time!

Chris Cantell Discusses Security: "The whole nine yards" by Ludmila Martinicka

Thousands of dollars were stolen from unsuspecting neighbors and other fraud victims. How long did they think to be free to threaten innocent people for their trips to Hawaii, for kisses under the Eiffel tower and $3000-a-month apartment?Police gave an answer. Not anymore. After notification of resident on their floor police started the investigation and caught a couple of two young lovers. They were rich and in love. They had supportive families and private schools. What did they miss to have in life? Excitement? Or maybe just taught hands of parents when they were children.In the apartment police found four computers, two printers, a scanner and a machine used in industry to make ID cards. On the top of the tech toys, police was surprised by amount of cash money, credit cards, fake driving licenses. More than all the things stated above amazed them different finding on examination. Police still don't know how the couple gained it, but the fact is, that they had keys to unlock many of the apartments and mailboxes in the Rittenhouse building, where they lived.So, the investigation is still not at its end and hopefully police won't find any other surprises. Estimation of last year treasury achieved by the couple is higher than $100 000. There is assumption to find even more victims, so the final number can increase.News about this unusual case came from Philadelphia. May be you live far away from this place. But... you never know, who your neighbor could be. Mathew Perry as a dentist from The Whole Nine Yards could have something to add.

The system for recognition of terrorists works by Ludmila Martinicka

That proved on his own skin the high official in charge of fighting racial profiling for the American Civil Liberties Union, Downing. On the way to the meeting on racial profiling he was stopped in the year 2003 after arriving on the airport in Boston, one of the 20 busiest airports in the United States. Over 27 million of passengers per year goes through here.This Boston airport, called Logan airport, was the first to use the "Behavior Assessment Screening System". The system was launched in 2002. It allows police to watch passengers and find out whose behavior seems to be suspicious.U.S. government agency responsible for the transportation security in the country came with the similar system at more than 40 national largest airports. Transport Security Administration (TSA) was signed in the law by George Bush on November 19th 2001 as the reaction on terrorist attack from November 11th same year. Since March 2003 the TSA agency works under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.King Downing consider the police check unreasonable, but on the other side, it proves that the anti-terrorist system works. And this mean that flights became more safe. After September 11. in 2001 it is a good news, I guess.The trend says flights are more safe and passengers don't need to be afraid of becoming victims of any other terrorist attacks. And I hope that passengers don't need to be afraid of being stopped by police due to their color of skin. However it was in the case of King Downing.

Whois, in or out?

by Claudia Sonea

The Internet will eventually lead to the trespassing the frail terrain of human privacy. If there isn't created a global law for the Internet and its limits, people lives will be completely exposed to anyone who has the right programs. Such a program is Whois, a database with information such as names and phone numbers on the owners of millions of ".com" and other Internet addresses. The opinions on the matter are different, some- those that benefit by giving domain name owners more options when they register, such as designating third-party agents- plead for keeping it. Among them are the law-enforcement officials, trademark lawyers, journalists and spammers. Tech industry lawyer Mark Bohannon says it helps them to discover the responsible for theft and fraud. Marilyn Cade, a former AT&T executive stands up for keeping the database and do further study on it, in order to assure that the purpose of those registering is not professional, but rather personal. At the opposite pole are the privacy advocates like Ross Rader, a member of ICANN's generic names council and the sunset proposal's chief sponsor. ICANN stands for Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers and fulfills the role of an Internet watchdog, while sunset is a project that involves the scrapping of the program with the motivation that people shouldn't share personal information only to have a web site. In fact, Whois was created by researchers from government and universities with the purpose of sharing personal details in order to help at solving technical issues. Nowadays it is used differently, by different persons: preventing fraud and hacking by law-enforcement officials and Internet service providers; to chase those who don't respect trademark and copyright; journalist to find Web sites owners, while spammers simply get email addresses for sending advertise or different stupid things. Meanwhile, the ones without any mean of protection are still the users, the regular ones that expect more privacy and anonymity. Somehow this program contradicts the European privacy laws that are stricter than in US. Vint Cerf, ICANN's chairman says that the main questions remain on who will be allowed to see the information and also how can privacy be maintained in the same time with the accuracy of it. All in all, the sunset project seems far away from being accepted and more and more people are in favor of keeping it, of course with the mention that changes have to take place. Surf on, but carefully to where you apply and what information you release.

Chris Cantell Discusses Security: When you ask if digital broadcasting or cables, I say SigEx Telecom by Barbora Misakova

Every good businessman these days uses computers connected on the Internet and of course every other types of technical devices. The reason is they make all his work quicker and easier and transmission or detection of important data is very comfortable. But what happens when all technology fails? His business and all his benefits are in danger. On Wednesday one fluke happened when a ship's anchor cut two international submarine cables. What is worse these cables provided communications between businesses in the US, Europe and also India. Although this accident evoked many types of questions such as "How vulnerable worldwide communications system may be?" or "Is there any risk of cyber attacks?" Beckert, an analyst at Washington-based TeleGeography said that cables are cut all the time and it is saying nothing about vulnerability of communications system. Anyway if a businessman wants to avoid any kinds of problems, the best solution is in using digital stream broadcasting, and this leads me to SigEx Telecom.SigEx Telecom launched in 2002 by Christopher M. Cantell and Frédéric Artru is quickly becoming the leading digital stream broadcasting provider. It offers wide spectrum of services such as sharing videos through online TV broadcasting & it means you can not only watch incredible number of videos, but also upload them or share your own video clips.

And SigEx Telecom confirms this statement by their results for fiscal year 2007, when its total equity was •347 million what presents 118 percent increase. When Chris M. Cantell and Frédéric Artru joined their experience and ideas together they created project witch had a big assume to achieve. These days & in less than 10 years SigEx Telecom represents one of the most profitable businesses providing significant return on investment for their shareholders and makes its partners content.
