TERRORISM Terrorists use the global Network for coordinating their activities. They communicate thought the Internet worldwide. Because the Internet users are not authorized , terrorist activity couldn`t be identified

Thomas L. Friedman The flat world makes it much easier for terrorists to transmit their terror. With the Internet they don't even have to go through Western or Arab news organizations but can broadcast right into your computer. The Internet is an enormously useful tool for the dissemination of propaganda, conspiracy theories, and plain old untruths, because it combines a huge reach with a patina of technology that makes anything on the Internet somehow more believable. A recent six-year-long study shows that terrorist organizations and their supporters have been using all of the tools that the Internet offers to recruit supporters, raise funds, and launch a worldwide campaign of fear. It is also clear that to combat terrorism effectively, mere suppression of their Internet tools is not enough. Our scan of the Internet in 2003-04 revealed the existence of hundreds of websites serving terrorists in different, albeit sometimes overlapping, ways. Terrorists have proven not only skillful at online marketing but also can learn from the Internet about the schedules and locations of targets such as transportation facilities, nuclear power plants, public buildings, airports and ports, and even counterterrorism measures. Like many other political organizations, terrorist groups use the Internet to raise funds. For instance, dozens of sites supporting terrorism in the name of jihad permit to exchange ideas and practical information about how to build bombs, establish terror cells, and carry out attacks . . .

Taliban spreading their message in Afghanistan through sophisticated media network NAHAL TOOSI, Associated Press, July 25, 2008 at 11:22 AM EDT The Taliban have created a sophisticated media network to undermine support for the Afghan government, sending threats by text message and spreading the militia's views through songs available as ring tones, according to a report. Many of the messages that have been distributed - apparently not always directly produced by the Taliban - come in the form of songs, religious chants and poetry that appeal to Afghan nationalism and Islamic pride.

Police analyze computer for clues in bombings MATTHEW ROSENBERG , Associated Press, July 29, 2008 Police raided the home of a U.S. citizen in Mumbai, India's financial capital, and seized a computer from which an e-mail was believed to have been sent claiming responsibility for bombings that killed 45 people in western India. At least 16 bombs tore through Ahmadabad, killing 45 people and wounding 161. It was the second series of blasts in India in two days. An obscure Islamic militant group took credit for the Ahmadabad attack. The e-mail's subject line said, "Await 5 minutes for the revenge of Gujarat," an apparent reference to 2002 riots in the western state that left 1,000 people, mostly Muslims, dead. Ahmadabad was the scene of much of the 2002 violence. SUPPORTED NEWS

Online banking dicier than assumed JORDAN ROBERTSON, Associated Press, July 23, 2008 at 5:33 PM EDT Many banks are unwittingly training their online customers to take risks with their passwords and other sensitive account information, leaving them more vulnerable to fraud, new research shows. The result is that even the most security-conscious Web surfers could find themselves the victims of identity theft because they've been conditioned to ignore potential clues about whether the banking site they're visiting is real — or a bogus site served up by hackers.

Online threats materializing faster JORDAN ROBERTSON , Associated Press, July 29, 2008 at 11:38 AM EDT The bad guys on the Internet are narrowing the time frame they need to unleash computer attacks that take advantage of publicly disclosed security holes. More and more of these attacks are coming within 24 hours after a vulnerability is disclosed. That means security flaws are being exploited in Web browsers, computer operating systems and other programs before many people even have had time to learn there's a problem, according to IBM Corp.'s latest Internet Security Systems report. The tools criminals use to generate their attacks — known as exploit code — are appearing online faster than before. Spammers are changing their tactics. In many cases they are ditching the pictures and complicated messages they would include in their junk e-mail and opting instead for simple messages and a sole Web link to evade spam filters and redirect users to sites under their control. And the number of spam messages continues to rise . SUPPORTED NEWS

Legitimate websites face new threats MATT HARTLEY, From Tuesday's Globe and Mail, July 29, 2008 at 2:00 AM EDT Cyber criminals are working harder than ever to turn the world's most popular websites into unwitting carriers of viruses and spyware . Over the past six months, hackers have intensified attacks on trusted websites such as Facebook and News.com that are frequented by millions of users every day. By injecting bits of malicious code into the pages of reputable websites, hackers can deliver viruses, Trojan horses and other spyware onto the computers of unsuspecting users who just stop by to check their stocks or the score of the hockey game. As many as 75 per cent of the websites distributing viruses are actually legitimate sites that have been compromised, according to a study being released Tuesday by security firm WebSense Inc. More than 60 of the world's 100 most-visited websites fell prey to hackers embedding malicious code on their pages. SUPPORTED NEWS

Giant online security hole slowly getting fixed JORDAN ROBERTSON , Associated Press, August 6, 2008 at 10:39 AM EDT A giant vulnerability in the Internet's design is allowing criminals to silently redirect traffic to websites under their control. The gaping security hole enables a scam that targets ordinary people typing in a legitimate Web address. It happens because hackers are now able to manipulate the machines that help computers find websites. If the trick is done properly, computer users are unlikely to detect whether they've landed at a legitimate site or an evil double maintained by someone bent on fraud. through a traditional phone line.

Even security pros vulnerable to scams JORDAN ROBERTSON, Associated Press, August 7, 2008 at 5:41 PM EDT Two researchers demonstrated at the Black Hat hacking conference how they had gotten computer security experts to let their guard down online the same way they advise the average Internet user not to, especially on social-networking websites. A relatively simple ruse persuaded dozens of prominent security analysts to connect on their social networking Web pages with people who weren't friends at all. They were fake profiles, purportedly of other well-known security pros. Some social networking sites can be dangerous because they allow people to post programming code — used for good or evil — on other people's pages. Even networking sites that don't allow that step carry their own security risks, because it's relatively easy for someone to masquerade as a “friend” who isn't actually friendly — and recommend malicious Web sites to click on.

Major Internet security flaw also affects e-mail JORDAN ROBERTSON , Associated Press, August 7, 2008 at 9:05 AM EDT A newly discovered flaw in the Internet's core infrastructure not only permits hackers to force people to visit websites they didn't want to, it also allows them to intercept e-mail messages. Dan Kaminsky of Seattle-based security consultant IOActive Inc. exposed a giant vulnerability in the Internet's design that, in one case, allowed hackers to reroute some computer users in Texas to a fake Google.com site loaded with automated advertisement-clicking programs, a scam to generate profits for the hackers from those clicks. Black Hat attendees are warned that the conference's public wireless network is being monitored by hackers .

In late April, the family of 18-month-old Elijah Luck phoned 911 from their Calgary home after the baby began convulsing. The call was directed to a dispatch centre used by Comwave to relay information to emergency services in various cities. Online phone services use the Internet rather than fixed wires, making it difficult to determine where calls originate. A member of the Luck family went to a neighbour's house and connected with Calgary 911 through a traditional phone line. SUPPORTED NEWS

Phishing scam suspect pleads guilty JOHN CHRISTOFFERSEN , Associated Press, July 23, 2008 at 6:47 AM EDT BRIDGEPORT, CONN. — One of 38 people charged in a global crime ring that allegedly stole personal information from unsuspecting Internet users pleaded guilty Tuesday to a federal fraud charge. Authorities accuse the defendants of stealing names, Social Security numbers, credit card data and other information from Internet users. Federal indictments allege the Romania-based phishing scams sought to rip off thousands of consumers and hundreds of financial institutions. The practice known as phishing typically involves sending fraudulent e-mails that include links directing recipients to fake websites, where they are asked to input sensitive data. Phishers may also include attachments that, when clicked, secretly install “spyware” that can capture personal information and send it to third parties over the Internet. SUPPORTED NEWS

Now the bad guys of the cyberunderworld are exhibiting other unexpected traits: remarkable patience and restraint in stalking their victims. Instead of swiping all the customer data they can get their hands on, a small subset of hackers have concerned themselves with stealing only a very specific thing from the vendors they breach – they want access to the compromised companies' payment-processing systems, and nothing else. Those systems allow the bad guys to check whether credit card numbers being hawked on underground chat rooms are valid, the same way the store verifies whether to accept a card payment or not. ...

They might have been helping Suzy Gonzales plan her wedding, considering the cheerful, forthright manner in which advice was offered – the do's and don'ts, the anecdotal testimonies, the final checklist. But the 19-year-old Florida university student was struggling with depression and learning how to arrange her own death : The pro-suicide newsgroup provided her with specific instructions on how to lie to obtain the poison she needed, what to cover in her final message and even, her father says, how to time-delay her farewell e-mails so she wouldn't be interrupted.

Police say they are also investigating him in connection with other suicides that may have an online link, including the hanging death of a man in Britain. …. SUPPORTED NEWS
