"I don't know who the culprits are but I don't think it was done by general hackers because the attack was very specific. I run so many mailing lists but they specifically deleted this," said Steve Chia, secretary general of the National Solidarity Party (NSP). He explained the NSP has four mailing lists -- one for party decision-makers, another for party supporters, a third for general discussions and the last to update the public and media about the party's latest news and views. http://63.108.181.201/2001/06/28/ANA/0377-0375-Singapore-politics....html Defacement Worm Strikes Quote.com Site An Internet worm that automatically defaces Web sites claimed another high-profile victim today, redecorating the home page of a site operated by Lycos' Quote.com investment service.

Much has been made of technology users' fears of loss of privacy. Yet just 15 percent of the total sample of the Euro RSCG Worldwide survey agreed completely that technology is a threat to personal privacy, while another 31 percent agreed somewhat. One-quarter of respondents disagreed completely or somewhat. http://63.108.181.201/2001/06/28/eng-internetnews/eng-internetnews_152250_124_68241176568.html UK govt new encryption system only works with MS kit The UK government's increasing reliance on Microsoft software has been demonstrated yet again with leaked documents regarding its new email encryption system. The documents - available on the cryptome.org site here - show that the PGP setup will only work with Microsoft OSes and Microsoft's browser. With regard to email programs, it will work with just Lotus Notes, Eudora and Microsoft's Outlook products. We revealed a fortnight ago that the government was planning a new email encryption system based on Network Associates PGP security. It's to be called PGP HMG. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/20037.html ------------------ http://all.net/ Your use of Yahoo! Groups is subject to http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/
