Al-Qaeda’s new ‘planning chief’ lived in US for 15 years
The FBI has warned that al-Qaeda’s new head of “global operational planning” is using his unprecedented familiarity with American society to plot attacks against the United States and other Western countries.

Published: 8:04PM BST 06 Aug 2010
Investigators believe that Adnan Shukrijumah, 35, is “extremely dangerous” in part because of the experience he can draw on having lived in the US for 15 years.
Shukrijumah has taken over a position once held by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the mastermind of the September 11 World Trade Center attacks, who was captured in 2003.

US hackers eye alliances with kindred spirits in China
2 Aug 2010, 0011 hrs
LAS VEGAS: Veteran US hackers are on their way to China on a quest to foster alliances with peers and dispel notions that all of their kindred spirits there are cyber spies.
The budding effort was unveiled at an infamous DefCon hacker gathering in Las Vegas known for attracting rogue software savants that have found ways to crack things ranging from smartphones and Web browsers to power plants.

Hacking into GSM for only $1500
By Bill Ray
Posted in Mobile, 2nd August 2010 12:38 GMT
A researcher at the DefCon hackers’ meet has demonstrated kit for spoofing GSM base stations, allowing even those on a limited budget to intercept phone calls and text messages.
The audience attending the talk by Chris Paget were able to see their own handsets transferring to his spoofed base station, with calls receiving a recorded message explaining that the security had been compromised, Associated Press reports. The demonstration would presumably have been a lot less impressive if Las Vegas had better 3G coverage.

Arizona’s concealed-weapon law takes effect
by Kevin Kiley – Jul. 29, 2010 12:00 AM
The Arizona Republic
Today is the day gun-rights advocates have had in their sights for a long time.
Starting today, Arizona residents at least 21 years old can carry a concealed weapon without a permit.
The change is part of a broad weapons law by state Sen. Russell Pearce passed by the state Legislature in April that eases restrictions on concealed carry and stiffens penalties for committing a crime while carrying a concealed weapon.

Cyber Wars in Iran
Regime deploys shadowy army of cyber-warriors to take on dissidents on the web.
By Khashayar Nouri – Iran

23 Jul 10
The internet is often seen as the domain of dissidents and free spirits. But the Iranian regime like many others has long recognised the importance of winning the virtual propaganda war, and the talk for the last couple of years has been of an “Iranian Cyber Army”, a band of dedicated regime loyalists who attack opposition websites and other virtual targets.

Microsoft turns over all Win7 and server source code to Russia’s new KGB
By David Gewirtz | July 14, 2010, 9:27am PDT
It seems absurd. Microsoft, America’s preeminent software maker, provides the operating system for more than 90% of the world’s computers — including those used by the U.S. Government.
Microsoft has always carefully protected the source code to its operating systems. In fact, a key distinction between the various Windows variants and open source OSs like Linux and BSD is that Linux and BSD are open source.

China Stands Behind Its Net Censorship
By: Geoff Duncan
June 8, 2010
A new white paper from the Chinese government defends the country’s rights to prohibit information that the government believes serves to subvert state power.
China is well-known to run the most sophisticated Internet censorship regime on the planet—dubbed The Great Firewall of China—that has been decried by many both within China and in the larger international community. Now the Chinese government has issued a new white paper defending the nation’s right to censor the Internet and prohibit the distribution of any information it believes to be harmful or a threat to the state’s power.

WikiLeaks’ founder, Julian Assange operates in a world of ignorance, self-righteousness, and hypocracy. He operates in secrecy because of a perceived threat, complete with code names for people, projects and events, yet he claims transparency should exist for all other entities. He is an imaginary freedom fighter whose ignorance causes more bad than good. His title, “Collateral Murder,” is his attempt to spin the term “collateral damage,” but even he has published documents which contained information about innocent people, which he shrugs off as “collateral damage, if you will.”

Google HQ Bans Microsoft Windows In-House After Hacking Scare
By David Gelles and Richard Waters in San Francisco
Published: May 31 2010 23:26 | Last updated: May 31 2010 23:26
Google is phasing out the internal use of Microsoft’s ubiquitous Windows operating system because of security concerns, according to several Google employees.
The directive to move to other operating systems began in earnest in January, after Google’s Chinese operations were hacked, and could effectively end the use of Windows at Google, which employs more than 10,000 workers internationally.
“We’re not doing any more Windows. It is a security effort,” said one Google employee.

Dismantling of Saudi-CIA Web site illustrates need for clearer cyberwar policies
By Ellen Nakashima – Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, March 19, 2010
By early 2008, top U.S. military officials had become convinced that extremists planning attacks on American forces in Iraq were making use of a Web site set up by the Saudi government and the CIA to uncover terrorist plots in the kingdom.
“We knew we were going to be forced to shut this thing down,” recalled one former civilian official, describing tense internal discussions in which military commanders argued that the site was putting Americans at risk. “CIA resented that,” the former official said.

Google Inc. has lined up some big partners—including Intel Corp. and Sony Corp.—in the Internet giant’s recent quest to move its technology into the living room, people familiar with the situation say.
The joint effort, which is in its preliminary stages, includes software to help users navigate among Web-based offerings on television sets and serve as a platform for other developers to target in creating new programs, these people say. The technology could be included with future TVs, Blu-ray players or set-top boxes, they added.

The misconception of some is that low hanging fruit is not worthwhile. Sure, in the fruit picking world low-hanging fruit may need to be left alone to properly ripen and so forth, but in the digital concept of this phrase, an apple is an apple.

Google to shut China search engine
By Richard Waters in San Francisco and Kathrin Hille in Beijing
Published: March 12 2010 20:11
Google has drawn up detailed plans for the closure of its Chinese search engine and is now “99.9 per cent” certain to go ahead as talks over censorship with the Chinese authorities have reached an apparent impasse, according to a person familiar with the company’s thinking.
In a hardening of positions on both sides, the Chinese government also on Friday threw down a direct public challenge to the US search company, with a warning that it was not prepared to compromise on internet censorship to stop Google leaving.

China to bid on US high-speed rail projects
By JOE McDONALD (AP)
BEIJING — China plans to bid for contracts to build U.S. high-speed train lines and is stepping up exports of rail technology to Europe and Latin America, a government official said Saturday.
China has built 4,000 miles (6,500 kilometers) of high-speed rail for its own train system and President Barack Obama issued a pledge in November with his Chinese counterpart, Hu Jintao, to cooperate in developing the technology.
“We are organizing relevant companies to participate in bidding for U.S. high-speed railways,” Wang Zhiguo, a deputy railways minister, told a news conference.

Not one to turn the other cheek these days, China issued a report Friday on human rights violations by the U.S.
A day after the State Department pointed the finger at China in its annual report on human rights abuses in 194 countries, Beijing responded in kind, accusing Washington of “posing as the world judge of human rights again.”
The Chinese said the U.S. continues to “turn a blind eye to, or dodge and even cover up rampant human rights abuses on its own territory.”

American cities fight for Google’s attention
By Tim Conneally | Published March 9, 2010, 6:13 PM
One month ago, Google put the word out that it was looking to build and test its own fiber-to-the-home networks in a couple of cities. The speeds would be up to 1 Gbps and the reach would initially be about 50,000 homes.
Immediately, hundreds of cities began making pitches to attract Google’s attention, some earnest, some outlandish.
Topeka, Kansas unofficially renamed itself “Google” for the month and garnered a considerable amount of attention; Sarasota, Florida quickly followed suit and re-named its City Island “Google Island”.

Urgent warnings have been circulated throughout NATO and the European Union for secret intelligence material to be protected from a recent surge in cyberwar attacks originating in China.
The attacks have also hit government and military institutions in the United States, where analysts said that the West had no effective response and that EU systems were especially vulnerable because most cyber security efforts were left to member states.
