Ok here’s something controversial for you guys to digest, there has been anecdotal evidence of US Customs seizing laptops before and examining the data…but it now seems to be rather more widespread.
It’s a little worrying to me how a government can just rummage through your data when you are totally innocent and they don’t even [...]
Seems like a social engineering type attack again relying on human ignorance and stupidity. Based around some kind of malware reporting back to a central repository.
Remember kids if a deal is too good to be true…it isn’t.
Hackers stole information from the U.S. Department of Transportation and several U.S. companies by seducing employees with fake job-listings [...]
The Pentagon got owned pretty hard with 1,500 accounts being taken offline due to a hack attack. For once however they did admit the incident and didn’t try to cover it over or brush it off.
I guess the amount of attacks they get is exponentially more than other networks…but still, I would have thought they [...]

Digging on those archives right now yah.
A hacker stole a file containing the names and Social Security numbers of 1,500 people working for the Energy Department’s nuclear weapons agency, scary eh?

After allegedly hacking into NASA websites — where he says he found images of what looked like extraterrestrial spaceships — the 40-year-old Briton faces extradition to the United States from his North London home. [...]

Not rocket science, and apparently the machines he had access to were air-gapped, or segregated from the networks containing sensitive information, so the charges are greatly trumped up and are NOT relative to [...]
I don’t know what he was thinking really, tampering with US military or governmental systems without some SERIOUS protection.
A British man accused of being behind the largest ever hack of US government computer networks could end up at Guantanamo Bay, his lawyer has claimed.
Gary McKinnon, from London, denies causing $700,000 (£400,000) damage to military and [...]
Basically the Americans are saying a lot of their sensitive govermental organisations are using Snort and they don’t want the software to be controlled by an Israeli company, they see it as a threat.
