After overwhelming protest from the internet community last week, Adobe decided to abandon its case to prosecute Sklyarov for copyright infringement. But after a meeting between the DoJ and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) last Friday, the US government appears unlikely to let go so easily, suggesting the next few months will see a court case that will test the mettle of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). http://www.vnunet.com/News/1124305 Artists, scientists protest U.S. copyright arrest Artists joined software programmers and free speech advocates Monday in protesting the arrest of a Russian man on charges of violating a controversial new copyright law. About 100 people gathered under cloudy skies carrying a large ''Free Dmitry'' banner, placards proclaiming ``Reading is a Right, not a Feature,'' and chanting slogans. The group walked two blocks from a civic plaza across from the public library and City Hall to the federal building where the U.S. Attorney's office is building its case against Dmitry Sklyarov. http://www.siliconvalley.com/docs/news/tech/068944.htm Hacking activity at all-time high Hacking activity is at an all-time high, according to stats compiled by The Honeynet Project. It bases this conclusion on the number of attacks perpetrated against a network of servers, set up by the organisation specifically to collect data on hacking attempts. The intrusion detection system placed on the Honeynet's servers generated 157 alerts during May 2000 but this figure had escalated by a factor of almost nine to 1,398 alerts by February 2001. The Honeynet's firewall showed a doubling of alerts from 103 to 206 per month between May 2000 and February 2001. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/20714.html CSEAT will review agencies' security for free The National Institute of Standards and Technology has set up a computer security expert assist team, called CSEAT, to improve agencies' infrastructure protection and share best security practices. "It was kind of a surprise" to get a budget line item for CSEAT, said its director, Kathy Lyons-Burke. "We didn't expect Congress to give us the money." The first review started in June at the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The process takes about three months. "We don't give a grade, and we don't break in," Lyons-Burke said. "We will apply consistent control objectives and criteria" across agencies and eventually draw an overall comparative picture of federal security policy. http://www.gcn.com/vol1_no1/daily-updates/4768-1.html ------------------------ Yahoo!
