Sedíte v hotelovej izbe, unaven, frustrovan, neschopn slova, udujete sa. Nemali ste by predsa tu, v tomto hlúpom meste, v tomto hlúpom hoteli, aleko od ciea vaej cesty, aleko od domova, celkom sám, nemáte ni lepie na práci – len aka. A dúfa, e toto je tá posledná komplikácia, ktorá sa na vaej ceste vyskytne. Vlastne, tomuto ani tak vemi neveríte. Cítite sa, ako keby ste tam mali by uväznen naveky. A as sa neznesitene vleie.Asi takto nejako sa mohli cíti pasaieri viac ako tisícky letov spolonosti American Airlines, ktoré boli zruené. Hoci, je urite lepie strávi nejakú tú chvíu v hotelovej izbe, ako zai plamene a explózie. Pretoe, nieo také sa mohlo sta v dôsledku problémov s chybnou kabeláou. A ako povedali predstavitelia American Airlines – o bezpenosti sa nediskutuje! Nu, mono sa o nej nediskutuje, ale o je horie – radej sa prehliadne. Leteck úrad upozornil American Airlines na problémy s káblami, ktoré by mohli spôsobi vpadok elektriny alebo dokonca poiar, u v septembri 2006. A aerolínie vyhlásili, e problém vyrieili. Oividne, nie tak celkom. Take vetky lietadlá typu MD-80 musia by skontrolované, a teda nemôu odletie. A toto spôsobilo nekonené rady pri check-inoch, hysterick krik do telefónov, nahnevané vyhráky a nadávky a kompletn chaos na runch americkch letiskách.Sedíte v hotelovej izbe, unaven, frustrovan, neschopn slova, udujete sa. A ani fakt, e AmericanAirlines za vás museli zaplati hotel, jedlo, vouchre, e hodnota ich akcií vrazne klesla, vá nerozveselia, kee zatia o sedíte a akáte, mono sa práve odohráva nieo dôleité, nieo, na o ste sa tak dlho teili, a vy ste tam uväznen a as sa neznesitene vleie.

Chris Cantell Discusses SigEx Telecom, Online Security: Fura de la bogati, dau la saraci Notme

Firma de cercetari in domeniul securitatii, Symantec a descoperit noi tehnici de fraudare aparute printre hotii online. Pentru a verifica daca un card pe care ei l-au furat inca este valid, ei dau mici sume simbolice care destinatii de caritate cum ar fi Christian Aid, Islamic Relief si Crucea Rosie.Yazan Gable, un inginer responsabil cu securitatea la Symantec, spunea pe un blog "in lumea cardurilor, unde informatiile despre carti de credit sunt vandute si cumparate, hotii trebuie sa stie daca aceste carduri pe care ei le cumpara sau le vand pot fi folosite. Este de multe ori dificil pentru ei sa verifice aceasta fara a ridica suspicini asupra lor si fara sa riste identificarea cardului ca fiind furat si astfel inutil. Ca o consecinta, apare un nou trend".Managerul Securitatii de la Symantec, Javier Santoyo spune ca acesti hoti au chiar si canale specifice de IRC unde manevreaza aceste carduri. Ei chiar au si script-uri si boti care verifica validitatea, obtin numele utilizatorului, numarul de securitate sociala si limita superioara a cardului.O purtatoare de cuvant din partea Crucii Rosii, Carrie Martin a afirmat ca luna trecut Crucea Rosie a fost nevoita sa returneze aproape 7000$ care au fost donati din 700 de tranzactii fraudulente dintr-un total de 3600 donatii efectuate online."Este un fapt cotidian. Nu stiu ce fel de trend este. Este ceva pe care noi incercam sa prevenim. Avem masuri de prevenire a fraudelor pentru a mentine nivelul de fraudare cat mai mic posibil."

Vodici by mohli byt zbavovani vodicskeho preukazu uz za dva rychlostne priestupky dvijnasobnym poctom pokutovych bodov v ich vodocskom preukaze za nadmerne prekracovanie rychlosti, hovori sprava z paitku.Podla dennikov The Times a The Guardian mozu motoristi prichyteni pri zrychleni na 45 mil za hodinu v zonach, kde je dovelena rychlost 30 mil za hodinu ako pokutu dostat az sest pokutovych bodov do ich vodicskych preukazov a financnu pokutu 100 libier ako zvysenie zo sucasnych troch pokutovych bodov a financnej pokuty 60 libier.Vyssia tarifa pravdepodobne zasiahne aj vodicov prichytenych pri rychlosti od 57 mil za hodinu a vyssej na cestach kde je dovolena rychlost 40 mil za hodinu a od 94 mil za hodinu a vyssie na komunikaciach s povolenou rychlostou 70 mil za hodinu. Vodicom su odobravane vodicske preukazy ak nazbieraju 12 pokutovych podov do troch rokov a momentalny pocet vodicov, ktori maju sest a viac pokutovych bodov v ich vodicskych preukazoch je viac ako 1.1 miliona.Podla noveho navrhu by takyto vodici automaticky prisli o vodicsky preukaz na dobu siestich mesiacov za dalsi rychlostny priestupok.Minister zodpovedny za bezpecnost na cestach Jim Fitzpatrick, povedal pre The Times, ze vlada skrta svoj predchadzajuci plan prinasajuci nizsie pokuty v podobe dvoch penaltovych bodov za mensie rychlostne priestupky.

Chris Cantell Discusses Security: "Moj sused zabijak" by Ludmila Martinicka

Tisice dolarov boli odcudzene nepodozrievavym susedom a dalsim podvedenym obetiam. Ako dlho si mysleli, ze budu moct okradat nevinnych ludi kvoli vyletom na Hawai, pre bozky pod Eifelovkou a byt za 3000 dolarov mesacne?Policia dala odpoved. Uz nikdy. Po upozorneni obyvatela toho isteho poschodia policia zacala vysetrovanie a chytila zamilovany parik. Boli bohati a zalubeni. Mali podporujuce rodiny a sukromne skoly. Co v zivote postradali? Vzrusenie? Mozno iba tvrdu ruku rodicov, ked boli este detmi.V byte policia nasla styri pocitace, dve tlaciarne, skener a stroj na vyrobu preukazov totoznosti. Okrem technickych hraciek policiu prekvapilo mnozstvo penazi v hotovosti, kreditne karty a falosne vodicske preukazy. Viac ako veci vymenovane vyssie ich vsak ohuril iny nalez. Policia stale nevie, ako sa k nim dvojica dostala, ale faktom ostava, ze mali kluce k mnozstvu bytov a postovych schranok v budove Rittenhouse, kde byvali.Takze, vysetrovanie sa este neskoncilo a snad policia nenajde dalsie prekvapenia. Odhad velkosti nahromadeneho bohatstva prevysuje 100 000 dolarov. Je predpoklad, ze sa najdu este dalsie obete, takze finalne cislo sa moze zvysit.Spravy o nezvycajnom pripade prisli z Filadelfie. Mozno zijete daleko od tohto miesta. Ale... nikdy neviete, kto moze byt vasim susedom. Mathew Perry ako dentista z filmu Moj sused zabijak, by k tomu mal co dodat.

Jingle Jingle Spam

Unknown emails in your inbox! don't open them; they are the Christmas present full of viruses called spam. According to Irish hosting firm IE Internet more than 72 percent of all e-mail messages received by their clients in December were spam and that underlined a slight increase from 3.15 percent in November to 3.35 percent in December. Ken O'Driscoll, IE Internet's chief technology officer, confessed that it has become a trend for spasm to reach their peaks during December due to many reasons: lower levels of staff, a longer window during which they can send mail through compromised systems and the online shoppers more open to buy the advertised products. However, the spam increase takes place not only during this period, but also from year to year and Driscoll expects new peaks in 2008. Because of the anti-spam legislation and the fact that they are being arrested for undeclared income and tax evasion, spammers are tending to move from US space and therefore the amount of spam originating from the United States is bound to decrease. The developing countries are the newest target because of the technology burst that surpasses the relevant legislation. A top made of December spam showed that on first place is still US with 26.75 percent, then comes France with 18.91 percent, followed by Japan with 12.14 percent, the United Kingdom (7.52 percent) and Germany scoring 5.82 percent. Viruses' top five was completed by variants of the W32.Zafi virus, W32/Document-Maximus, W32/Netsky.BR and W32/Mytob.CQ. If you receive any mail that seems suspicious, from an unknown address or with title that sounds to advertise a certain product, just claim it as spam and stop funding spammers. Furthermore, you will deliver yourself all viruses. Enjoy surfing and take care!

Mortgage data leaked over file network Notme

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 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!
