Israel was the victim of 10 of 15 significant web defacements in the Middle East over the last two weeks, according to security consultancy mi2g. The most active anti-Israel hacker group, which claims to be Egyptian, started its activities just weeks after 11th September. Other Middle Eastern countries - Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan - have also been hit in April by politically motivated hack attacks, many international in origin. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/24891.html Sen. Wyden Intros Version Of House Cybersecurity Bill Senator Ron Wyden, D-Ore., today introduced a Senate version of a cybersecurity measure approved earlier this year by the House of Representatives. "In addition to the damage that cyber-attacks could cause directly, the mere threat of security breaches can cripple the ongoing development of e-commerce, " Wyden said in a press release. "If the Internet is to reach its full potential, security must be improved." http://www.newsbytes.com/news/02/175951.html Hidden bedroom cameras inspire video privacy bill Hidden video cameras in bedrooms, bathrooms and other private places would be outlawed under a bill introduced in Congress Tuesday that would also limit pornographic Web sites to an online red-light district. Television star Angie Harmon and privacy activist Susan Wilson joined Louisiana Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu to announce a bill that would make it illegal to film someone for a ``lewd or lascivious purpose'' without that person's consent. http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/news/editorial/3077573.htm http://www.newsbytes.com/news/02/175948.html http://www.cnn.com/2002/TECH/internet/04/17/surveillance.reut/index.html More States Loosening Wiretap Restrictions - Study Proposed changes to state wiretap laws triggered by the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11 would give states added surveillance power that could erode civil liberties, said a review of state-level legislation released today. The review, conducted by a Washington-based non-profit that tracks legal and constitutional issues, examined how states approve and implement wiretaps. The Constitution Project seeks to determine whether laws compromise individual liberties. http://www.newsbytes.com/news/02/175952.html IBM drops patent bombshell Tech Update: A recent IBM patent claim could threaten royalty-free access to a key Internet standard protocol backed by the United Nations. The standard--called ebXML--is an XML-based set of definitions for electronic transactions and business collaboration. IBM's patent claim was made in an intellectual property disclosure filed in late March with the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS). http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1106-884681.html Peddling Snake Oil as Security Wireless security vendors are trying to create a market where none exists. As always, the key to better wireless security is better practice, not new products. Recently, I received an invitation to speak at a plenary session for an upcoming conference on wireless security. While the conference venue was first-rate and they were covering all my expenses, I had to be honest with the conference coordinators and decline the invitation. The reason? If I went on-stage and delivered my views on wireless networking and its security implications, the vendors exhibiting at the event would have chased me from the dais and lynched me. http://online.securityfocus.com/columnists/75 ------------------------ Yahoo!
