Richard Clarke, President Bush's computer security adviser, told hackers at the Black Hat conference that most security holes in software are not found by the software maker. "Some of us, here in this room, have an obligation to find the vulnerabilities," Clarke said. http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/computersecurity/2002-07-31-security-hacking_x.htm http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1105-947409.html http://news.com.com/2100-1001-947409.html http://www.msnbc.com/news/788216.asp http://www.gcn.com/vol1_no1/daily-updates/19486-1.html EU solicits anti-cybersquatter advice The European Union is looking for suggestions about how to deal with cybersquatting as it prepares to launch the .eu domain, Matthew Clark writes. The European Commission's Internal Market Directorate-General is looking for help from businesses or individuals that have faced cybersquatting in the past.

The threat comes in a letter to SnoSoft from HP Veep Kent Ferson warning that the security researchers "could be fined up to $500,000 and imprisoned for up to five years" for its role in publishing code that demonstrated the vulnerability, CNET's Declan McCullagh reports. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/55/26468.html http://www.vnunet.com/News/1134030 http://news.com.com/2100-1023-947325.html U.K. surveillance laws may be illegal The United Kingdom's Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act (RIPA), which gives U.K. law enforcement agencies access to consumers' mobile phone and Internet data, may be illegal, according to U.K. information commissioner Elizabeth France. The act, passed two years ago, may violate human rights laws because of a loophole under which law enforcement agencies may access data that has been retained specifically for use in cases involving national security. The information commissioner warned the U.K. government's Home Office of this conflict in a legal opinion issued this week. http://zdnet.com.com/2110-1103-947414.html http://news.zdnet.co.uk/story/0,,t269-s2120139,00.html Pentagon to impose limits on wireless devices The wireless soldier may be getting some new strings attached.
