Three men were indicted by a federal grand jury on Thursday for conspiring to steal trade secrets from telecommunications equipment maker Lucent Technologies and transfer them to a Chinese state-owned company. Former Lucent employees Lin Hai and Xu Kai worked on Lucent's PathStar Access Server, which facilitates transmission of voice communications over the Internet as well as other features such as call-waiting and speed-dialing. The third defendant, Cheng Yong-Qing, is the former vice president of Village Networks, an optical networking firm in Eatontown, New Jersey. He allegedly created a business plan for a joint venture company that would transfer key trade secrets to a state-owned Chinese company. The men face a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines. http://www.techtv.com/news/politicsandlaw/story/0,24195,3330423,00.html First Arrest of a Hacker Made in Beijing The People's Procuratorate of Beijing's Haidian Districtarrested Lu Chun, a suspect of Beijing's first hacker case on May 29. Lu Chun, a 21-year old sophomore in Beijing, decoded and embezzled a company's account and password to log on the Internet by using the downloaded hacker software. Lu not only spread this account and password to his schoolmates and friends for visiting Internet free of charge, he also sold it at a cheap price through the Internet, resulting in that over 1000 people used this account surfing on the Internet. http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/200105/31/print20010531_71479.html [FC - amazing - they can catch this person but not the ones who announce their names in the cyber-exchange. Both the US and China allow this activity to happen - both know how to catch and punish attackers. It seems to me that they both want the exchanges to happen.] DoS attacks: No remedy in sight Denial-of-service attacks are becoming more common and, in many cases, more serious, security experts said in the wake of an attack on the Internet's main warning system for security threats. An unknown attacker last week hit the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) Coordination Center, an important agency for passing information on the latest vulnerabilities in computer systems among security experts. The denial-of-service attack flooded the center's Web site with data requests and made the site--and its crucial security advisories--almost impossible to access for more than 24 hours. "While there are other agencies out there providing similar services to CERT, what if it had been a more sensitive system or one we had more dependence on?" said Stefan Savage, a professor of computer science at the University of California, San Diego, and co-founder of security company Asta Networks. http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,5092020,00.html http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-6158264.html [FC - of course this is not right - we know how to stop DoS attacks - it's just not in the best financial interest of those being attacked.] ------------------ http://all.net/ Your use of Yahoo!
