FBI probes `Stages' virus linked to Argentina
A virus masquerading as a joke about the stages of life may be
the work of a secretive software writer living in Argentina who
has taken credit for key virus developments of recent years,
computer experts said. After several weeks, the once slow-growing
virus dubbed ''Stages'' began spreading widely around the globe
Monday, infecting thousands of computers. Damage reports, however,
were limited to temporary shutdowns of flooded computer networks.

At least 4 major companies crippled by latest virus
A new computer virus, which resembles a harmless text file, has
caused shutdowns of the e-mail systems at four Fortune 100 companies,
anti-virus experts said. The virus does no harm to computer files,
but similar to May's "Love Bug" virus, simply multiplies by sending
itself out to everyone listed in the infected computer's address book.

Los Alamos Timeline in Question
The two hard drives recovered Friday at the Los Alamos National
Laboratory may have been missing for as long as six months-- not
six weeks as originally reported, CNN reported Tuesday. The drives
held secrets such as how to bypass the safety-lock mechanisms on
American nuclear weapons stored overseas. They were discovered
missing from a vault in the lab's highly secured "X Division"
complex on May 7.

Hacker intercepts, responds to gun-control group's e-mail
An apparent hacker who vandalized the Web site of a gun-control
group is now intercepting its e-mail and responding with messages.
"Just keep the urls comin dude," the prankster said in one e-mail
response, referring to Web addresses. "Ha ha. I get all mail for
this domain ... Did you also know im a phreak?" (sic) Officials
with the Violence Policy Center said they contacted the FBI after
their Web site (www.vpc.org) was hacked Monday and that Tuesday
they discovered other aspects of its system had been tampered.

Mexico Party hires hackers to probe bank secrets
Mexico's leading leftist party has hired computer hackers to crack
a secret list of beneficiaries of a controversial $100 billion bank
bailout that followed a currency crisis in 1994 and 1995. In the
run-up to the July 2 general election, opposition leaders have
demanded publication of a list they say will implicate top
businessmen in shady dealings.

NATO creates computer virus that reveals its secrets
Nato scientists have created a computer virus "by mistake",
causing military secrets to find their way onto the internet.
The virus, called Anti-Smyser 1, was created by scientists at
Nato's Kfor peacekeeping force headquarters in Pristina, Kosovo.
They were seeking protection from virus attacks similar to those
launched at Nato by the Serbs during the Kosovo conflict. But the
experiment went wrong, and scientists accidentally unleashed the
virus on themselves.

Soap could slip up on security
Microsoft is championing a protocol for cross-platform
communication that can bypass firewall defences and could
leave companies open to what experts describe as a fresh
class of security vulnerabilities. The Simple Object Access
Protocol, or Soap, specifies how to encode an HTTP header
and an XML (eXtensible Markup Language) file so that a
program in one computer can call a program in another
computer and pass it information. It also defines how the
called program can return a response.

New firewalls defend the interior
The firewall, which has served as the sentry between the
outside world of the Internet and the internal agency network,
may be moving inside the network perimeter to World Wide Web
servers, PCs, modems and silicon chips. Such internal firewalls
=97 known as distributed firewalls =97 are the next line of defense
against hackers who breach traditional firewalls by exploiting
open ports and e-mail servers.

Hackers As Consultants Risky Business, Warns Service Firm
When a client of PricewaterhouseCoopers Technology Risk
Services hired a well-known hacker as a security consultant,
an executive at the client company was later shocked to see
his company featured in a hacker magazine's cover story on
breaking into corporate systems. Fred Rica, a partner at
PricewaterhouseCoopers Technology Risk Services, cited the
incident to demonstrate the risk companies take when they
hire hackers as security consultants. The company, based
here, last week issued a warning to corporate executives
advising them of the risks in hiring ex- hackers.
