             Who's listening to your keystrokes? Plenty of people worry

about their privacy online, but few consider that someone

may be eavesdropping on what they're typing -- through a

wall or even across the street. It's something government

snoops have been able to do for at least the last decade,

according to newly released documents from the U.S.

National Security Agency.

States tangle with 'cyber-terrorist'

Two states tangle with alleged "cyber-terrorist" on Monday

charged a 19-year-old Missouri man with guiding young teen-agers

to child pornography sites on the Internet and terrorizing a

school community. Christian Hunold of Smithville, Missouri

faces four child pornography charges along with charges of

disorderly conduct, disrupting a school, and threatening to

commit assault. Hunold allegedly met children from Hawthorne

Brook Middle School in Townsend, Massachusetts in an online

chat room and directed them to Internet sites containing

pornographic images. He also allegedly sent e-mails

threatening to shoot school officials and blow up the

building, Massachusetts Attorney General Tom Reilly told

reporters. Hunold could be sentenced to 20 years in prison,

Reilly said

Hacker spins a worldwide web of security fears

CONCERNS about the security of the Internet deepened yesterday

after a hacker claimed to have broken into a database containing

the personal details of more than 150,000 users. Cable&Wireless

Communications promised an immediate investigation into what

appeared to be a "very serious breach of security". The hacker

claimed to have used the information, including e-mail addresses,

passwords and telephone numbers, to break into the websites of 100

users yesterday. He said he did it to expose poor security at

Cable&Wireless Communications, a subsidiary of the telecoms group.
