The ``Code Blue'' worm has similarities with the Code Red worm, which caused widespread problems, said a worker at the police- run Computer Virus Treatment Center in Tianjin, about 54 miles from Beijing. http://www.siliconvalley.com/docs/news/reuters_wire/1466633l.htm http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20010907/wr/tech_china_virus_dc_1.html http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_392715.html http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-7086783.html http://news.zdnet.co.uk/story/0,,t269-s2094796,00.html Code Blue Confirmed But Contained http://www.newsbytes.com/news/01/169891.html Judge demands documents on FBI computer spy system A federal judge on Friday ordered prosecutors to show him documents next week describing how a classified FBI computer spying system works, saying their argument the system should be kept secret from defense attorneys was ``gobbledygook.'' The computer bugging question, which may have important implications for the public's right to computer privacy, has emerged as a key issue from the government's illegal gambling case against Nicodemo Scarfo, 36. http://www.siliconvalley.com/docs/news/reuters_wire/1468898l.htm http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,46650,00.html FBI keeping key logger secret http://www.fcw.com/print.asp Lawsuit targets copy-protected CDs A California woman has filed a lawsuit against an independent record label for embedding technology in CDs that blocks people from listening to songs on a computer. The suit, filed in California Superior Court in Marin County, alleges that Denver, Colo.-based Fahrenheit Entertainment misled consumers by failing to include an adequate disclaimer on CDs encoded with digital copyright-protection software. http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1005-200-7090886.html http://www.zdnet.com/zdnn/stories/news/0,4586,5096761,00.html New Copyright Bill Heading to DC http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,46655,00.html Search Engines Accused of Deception Consumer groups allege that some search engines mislead users by presenting purchased listings as objective results. When you use a search engine you probably expect the results to be prioritized by the relevancy of websites to the keywords you entered. But these days some search engines instead give users search listings based on which sites paid the most money. http://www.techtv.com/news/internet/story/0,24195,3346401,00.html The U.S. Recruits New Hackers The government desperately needs experts to fight hackers. So they've recruited a 63-year-old retired aerospace engineer, a midwestern mother of three, and a long-haired former teen golfing champ to do the job. The National Science Foundation is handing out $8.6 million worth of two-year training scholarships in computer security, in return for two years of government service. http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,46567,00.html The Cisco Intrusion Undetection System Cisco has issued an alert for its Intrusion Detection System (IDS), one day after launching an enhanced security portfolio. IDS inspects network traffic and raises alerts for suspect traffic and it can be fooled by hackers who encode packets using " %u", a non-standard form for coding similar to Unicode. Suspect packets made using this method of coding would be flagged straight through by Cisco's IDS. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/21547.html Internet security helped by Code Red Any gardener will tell you worms are good for the soil. Security researchers are now finding that the creatures' digital namesakes might be good for security. In its monthly report released earlier this week, Internet survey firm Netcraft found that Web servers running Microsoft's software have become much more secure in the wake of the Code Red worm attack. http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-7083150.html Quantum Crypto to the Rescue It's seen both technical and theoretical advances in next-generation quantum crypto systems and technology. It's seen a prototype enter its testing phase that could send secret crypto keys through open air to a satellite or across town. And it's seen the announcement of a new breed of laser that could someday form the backbone of secure, long-distance quantum cryptographic communications over fiber-optic lines. http://www.wired.com/news/infostructure/0,1377,46610,00.html ------------------------ Yahoo!
