NHL Web site disabled by 'hacker'
NHL officials are trying to find who disabled the
league's official Web site. Tom Richardson, general
manager of the NHL's Interactive Cyber Enterprises
(ICE), said Wednesday it was uncertain if one or more
hackers had gotten into the site, NHL.com. ``It's a
very serious situation,'' he said. ``We are taking all
steps necessary to get to the bottom of this and find
the culprit or culprits.

Computer hacker caused sewage overflows, police say
An alleged computer hacker caused raw sewage to
overflow on Queensland's Sunshine Coast by using radio
transmissions to alter council sewage pump stations,
police said today. The 49-year-old Brisbane man was
expected to face 371 charges when he appears in the
Maroochydore Magistrates Court on June 15. The charges
include stealing, computer hacking and using radio
communications equipment without authority. Police
will allege the man caused the overflows of sewage
into Maroochy Shire waterways late last year and
early this year using radio transmissions to alter
council sewage pump stations.

Flaws in S&P service could put companies' data at risk
Standard & Poor's is moving to shore up its service
for providing stock quotes and news amid accusations
by security analysts that the product is a wide-open
door for network attacks. S&P has assured its customers
that it is going to beef up security with ComStock and
its client-side processor, called the MultiCSP. The
company says the security flaws should be inconsequential,
as the machines run on virtual private networks (VPNs)
that should not permit access between machines or from
the Internet at large.

Experts lecture feds on cybersecurity
Congressional funding to curtail cybercrime has been
focused on law enforcement and existing programs, but
the real solution will come from education, research
and development programs, federal officials said
Tuesday. "There=92s no more important part in our
national agenda for protecting our information systems
than education," said Jeffery Hunker, senior director
for infrastructure protection at the National Security
Council, during the National Colloquium for Information
Systems Security Education in Washington, D.C.

Invest in security or pay the price, warns Gartner
Companies developing ebusiness applications should
spend more time and money on installing better
security measures or risk facing high financial
losses, according to analysts at Gartner, speaking
at the company's Ebusiness and Internet Conference
in Paris this week. Three out of four current
business websites are vulnerable to attack, with
the level of internet fraud expected to be more
prevalent than credit card fraud by 2003 - a trend
which should spur businesses to treat security more
strategically and as a source of competitive
advantage, said Gartner.

Scenarios: Analyzing Future Computer Trends and Threats
Computer security plays out mostly as a game of
"catch-up." The latest threat hits the servers,
then the media, and everyone scrambles to react.
A "plague of the week" syndrome is the motif for
much of what happens in the IT community. For
warfare generates chaos, and managing chaos is
about as easy as building a house with bricks
of Jell-O =AE. Computer security specialists should
then look to a profession where managing chaos is
just another logistical challenge: the military.
Generals, even in the midst of a war's chaos, ask
two fundamental questions: "What are the enemy's
capabilities?" and "What are their intentions?"
