It seems like Russia wants to keep a tight reign on things, anything with Wifi capability must be licenses! That includes your phone…imagine having to apply for a permit to have a wireless AP at home?
Rather ridiculous no?
Business travellers to Russia might want to keep their laptops and iPhones well-concealed - not from muggers, necessarily, [...]
It seems like most countries are getting more serious about the illegal downloading and the protection of intellectual property, after the UK recently proposed disconnecting ‘pirates’ from the Internet - Australia is now considering following suit.
I guess this is just the start, laws will become more heavy handed and draconian as most of it is [...]
It seems Wi-Fi is actually extremely common, in fact in a recent poll up to 45% do it! I guess most people here have, I admit I do even with my phone when I’m out and about I’ll use any WiFi point that works.
We can blame it on the manufacturers for having lax default security [...]
It seems India are getting serious about terrorist activities being co-ordinated via the Internet, they are starting to run extremely deep surveillance on many cyber-cafes in Mumbai.
The solution appears to be some kind of ‘legal’ trojan system that will collect logs and send them to the police.
The Mumbai police will soon have khabris deployed (not [...]
Well this is a harsh turn of events, a while back an ‘ethics expert’ said Wifi Jacking is OK, now this poor guy has got pretty harshly screwed for using an open wireless connection from a nearby coffeeshop.
A Michigan man has been fined $400 and given 40 hours of community service for accessing an [...]
Now this is a massive growth, 8000% percent..woah!
Thankfully losses are still ‘modest’ whatever that means, I guess although the attacks grow in
number, awareness an education also increases (in places like UK anyway) so the risk is fairly well mitigated.
UK incidents of phishing scams have grown 8,000 per cent over the last two years, according to [...]
It seems like it’s getting really serious in the Gary McKinnon case, he’s facing what looks like his last appeal against the US anti-terror law case against him for hacking some NASA systems by guessing the weak passwords.
Not like he’s really a terrorist, or did any damage…he did something very stupid though, bruised the ego [...]
There seems to be have been some slight relaxation on the DMCA regulations lately, which is a good thing for the majority of people!
There have been many grey cases and sadly most have fallen on the side of the big corporations, finally something on our side!
The U.S. Copyright Office specified new rules Wednesday allowing cellphone [...]
It seems like phishers are changing their tactics to those similar to spammers, rather than going for big targets and mass mails they are turning to more wealthy customers and fewer but larger bounties.
Imagine if they can nail a few big ones, they are set.
Online fraudsters are turning their attentions away from large banks and [...]
This is a pretty interesting idea and for once it addresses a real requirement. A lot of stories have hit the press about people getting fired or ‘dooced’ because of stuff online or not even getting jobs because of something found on MySpace.
So up pops a company that is willing to protect your reputation online.
