NZ defence force downplays teen's 'secret' e-mails
THE significance of New Zealand defence papers
turning up in a British teenager's e-mail
messages was last night being downplayed
by the country's Defence Force. Claire
McDonald, 15, of Devon, England, has been
receiving e-mails for the past six months
that she believed came from the Pentagon
in the United States, One Network News
reported last night. They include a
document on New Zealand defence strategy
for 2000-2001 which detailed - ironically
- how the country handles its defence information.

Senators hit Energy again over disks
Republican senators told Energy Department
officials yesterday that their explanations
about the disappearance of two computer hard
drives containing nuclear secrets was not
good enough. At a contentious hearing, the
lawmakers repeatedly berated the department
witnesses for a three-week delay in reporting
the missing material and their failure to
impose tight controls over classified
information at the Los Alamos National
Laboratory in New Mexico.

Security firms disagree over movie virus threat
Security experts this week were divided on the
threat posed by a new Trojan virus after its
identification late last week. Bernardo Quintero,
a virus expert with Spanish computer security
organization HispaSec, contends that the
malicious program, which supposedly hides itself
in computer movie files, is not vicious at all.
He says it's nothing but an "elementary Trojan
virus serving the marketing purposes of a few
security firms and government departments."

How loose is your laptop?
People used to guard business secrets and highly
classified documents with their lives. Nowadays,
even national security secrets are getting lost
or left in homes, hotels, taxis and train stations.
The reason? When secrets shifted from paper to
electronic files, the new technology allowed
workers to carry their offices around with them.
But they forgot to bring along the sensitivity to
security that secrets are supposed to entail.

How to Deter Theft of Laptops
While portables (especially the new ultralights)
are great for travel, they are also a magnet for
criminals. Thieves often snatch computer cases
right off airport X-ray machine belts and in
lounge areas while you're looking the other way.

Old security models inadequate for ebusiness
The traditional approach to security adopted
by many companies is outdated and will leave
firms vulnerable as they enter the ebusiness
market, a leading technology consultancy has
warned. In its report E-Business Security:
New Directions and Successful Strategies,
Ovum argues that the traditional hierarchy
of trust adopted by organisations does not
fit the ebusiness model, meaning that access
channels, such as mobile devices, could pose
a major security threat.
