Web attacks end anti-spam effort!!

May 18, 2006

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/41655000/jpg/_41655006_frog-bluesecurity203.jpg 

A series of web attacks by spammers have forced a security firm to end an initiative to curb junk mail.

Israeli start-up Blue Security used a variety of tactics to make spammers clean up the lists of addresses to which they sent junk mail.

The firm also automatically filled in forms on spammers' websites to get names taken off the mailing lists.

But escalating attacks from spammers annoyed by the initiative's success has led to its closure.

Widespread attack

Blue Security set up the Blue Frog anti-spam scheme in July 2005 and since then has signed up more than 500,000 members.

The scheme involved users reporting to Blue Security every spam message they received. The security firm would then contact the spammers who sent the mail and ask them to remove the name of that user from their mailing list.

 If this method of stopping spam failed, Blue Security would then visit the spammer's websites advertising the products seen in junk mail and fill in any forms asking for users' names be removed from the list.

This could mean that some spammers' websites were getting thousands of requests for mailing lists to be cleaned up every day.

Blue Security claimed that the scheme reduced spam for many of those that signed up.

The tactic of bombarding spammers' websites was controversial among many anti-spam workers.

Sense of responsibility

The first indication that some junk mailers had taken exception to the anti-spam efforts came in early May when Blue Security was hit by a large so-called Distributed Denial of Service attack.

In such attacks websites get bombarded with huge amounts of data that their servers cannot handle.

At the same time some of those that had signed up for Blue Security's anti-spam system started getting threatening messages.

Blue Security realised that if it re-started its anti-spam campaign the attacks would get worse as the spammers seemed to have a huge network of remotely-controlled computers under their control.

"We cannot take the responsibility for an ever-escalating cyber war through our continued operations," said a statement on Blue Security's website.

As a result the company has decided to discontinue its anti-spam efforts.

"We believe this is the responsible thing to do," said the statement.

The company said it would now explore other ways to use its technology although for non-spam uses.

On March 24, 2006, demo versions of the tracks "Life Wasted", "Comatose" (formerly known as "Crapshoot Rapture"), "Severed Hand", and "Parachutes" were leaked in their entirety on the internet.

Rolling Stone has called it the "Best Pearl Jam album in 10 years".

The album entered the UK charts at #5, their highest position there since 1998's Yield, while it reached #2 in the US, selling 279,564 copies in its first week.

ABF Outlook Backup

May 17, 2006

ABF Outlook Backup is one of the best Outlook utility out there. I've been using this for over 6 months and it has not failed me even once. It is very user friendly and very simple. You will just need to select the items you want to backup, select the backup destination and click back up. It will create a compressed backup file which can be only read by this software. To restore you will have to select the backup file and select the items you want to restore and as a destination you can select "outlook" or "outlook express" from the little drop down menue. If you are going to restore your backup on a newly installed Outlook you will have to open the software atleast once before restoring, since then only the appropriate user files will be created. According to their website for Outlook Express and Outlook you need to different softwares, but this worked for me for both of them. Let me know how it goes for ya. Best of luk. :)

World Fair Trade Day

May 13, 2006

MTF.gif

Each year, on the second Saturday of May, World Fair Trade Day is celebrated. The main organizer of events is the International Fair Trade Association (IFAT), in which 256 fair trade organizations from 60 countries all across the world participate. These are mainly (65%) in the particularly disadvantaged countries of the southern hemisphere. The organization's mission is to promote the trade "based on dialogue, transparency and respect, that seeks greater equity." The participants, as they state on their website, strive for the following things:

    * Creating opportunities for economically disadvantaged producers
    * transparency and accountability
    * Capacity building
    * Payment of a fair price
    * Gender equity
    * Improved Working conditions
    * The environment

World Fair Trade Day was first celebrated in 2005. It developed from the European Worldshop Day that began in 1996 and is still organized.

The year 2005 (May 14th) chosen theme Fair Trade is Peace reminds us of the role that development and the equity trade can play in the peace efforts. The attention is centered on a wide range of Fair Trade products, like coffee, tea, jewelery, clothes and handicrafts.

In 2006, World Fair Trade Day is on May 13, and the year's theme will focus on the unique role of Fair Trade Organisations.

Gary Mckinnon aka Solo

May 11, 2006

About

Gary McKinnon, also known as Solo, (born in Glasgow in 1966) is a British hacker accused by one US prosecutor of perpetrating the "biggest military computer hack of all time." He is currently defending against his extradition to the United States.
Contents

The unemployed computer systems administrator is accused of hacking into 97 United States military and NASA computers in 2001 and 2002. The computer networks he is accused of hacking include networks owned by NASA, the US Army, US Navy, Department of Defense and the US Air Force, and also one belonging to The Pentagon. The US estimates claim the costs of tracking and correcting the problems he allegedly caused were around 700,000 USD.

McKinnon was originally tracked down and arrested under the Computer Misuse Act by the UK National Hi-Tech Crime Unit (NHTCU) in 2002, and later that year was also indicted by the United States government. He remained at liberty although subject to bail conditions including a requirement to sign in at his local police station every evening, and to remain at his home address at night. In addition he was banned from using a computer with access to the internet. There have been no further developments in respect of the charges relating to United Kingdom legislation, but in late 2005 the United States formally began extradition proceedings.

If he is extradited to the U.S. and charged, McKinnon faces up to 70 years in jail and has expressed fears that he could be sent to Guantanamo Bay.[1][2] He has said that he will contest the extradition proceedings and believes that he should face trial in the UK, principally as he argues that his crimes were committed there and not in the United States.

In an interview televised on the BBC's Click programme,[3] he claimed that he was able to access the military's networks simply by using a Perl script that searched for blank passwords; in other words his report suggests that there were computers on these networks with the default passwords still active.

News

Gary McKinnon, aka Solo – the man who hacked into nearly every network the US governement set up, is awaiting judgement on whether he will be estradited to the US to face the charges that have been alleged by American authorities.

The British hacking scene stands united against Solo, decrying that his possible estradition is little more than a politically motivated move to make friends overseas. There is no evidence, in fact, that any of the infiltrated databases were ever compromised in any way, Gary was just having a look around, even though American prosecutors are calling his "the biggest military computer hack of all time" – though why their track record with intelligence earns them any credibility in the international community is anyone's guess.

Perhaps the US Military Intelligence should hire McKinnon rather than prosecute him, and enlist his help in making sure that it takes them than two years and some sloppy mistakes before they catch the next hacker that makes it into their network.
