- FBI Raid Silences Teen Anarchy Site - In a case that may test
limits on Internet free speech in the wake of Sept. 11, armed federal agents last week raided the home of a
Los Angeles teenager suspected of hacking into several Web sites to post anarchist
messages and using his own site, Raisethefist.com, to publish bomb-making information.
Sherman Martin Austin, 18, is believed to have violated federal computer fraud and abuse
laws, as well as statutes prohibiting the distribution of bomb-making information,
according to an FBI affidavit. FBI agents conducted the raid on the afternoon of Jan. 24
at the Sherman Oaks residence owned by Austin's mother after receiving a federal warrant.
The agents seized several computers and documents, according to an FBI spokesperson.
- Microsoft Exchange servers dodge worm - In the somewhat calm
wake of the MyParty virus, security experts have considered the possibility that, for once, users of
Microsoft Exchange servers may have been better off. A discussion thread on the
Virus Focus mailing list suggested that the reason the MyParty virus and its subsequent
variant didn't have a high spread ratio is because it couldn't propagate via Exchange
servers. According to research, the virus uses SMTP commands like 'HELO' and 'RCPT TO' to
propagate itself, but Exchange doesn't use these commands when communicating with an
Outlook email client.
- Crackers exploit Cisco LAN switch flaw - A buffer
overflow vulnerability in Telnet option handling can be used to crash the process and
force a Catalyst switch to reload. This operation could be repeated by an attacker to
produce a denial of service attack. Cisco Catalyst switches, series 4000, 5000 and 6000
and also 2948G and 2900 models, running CatOS are affected by the flaw, which Cisco warns
has already been exploited. Other Cisco LAN switches and routers are immune.
- China Develops Technology to Access Internet Via Power Lines -
Developed by the Fujian Electric Power Testing and Research Institute and known as 10Mbps digitized power line (DPL), the technology enables computers to access the Internet via
a USB power line communication adapter. The special modem required will cost around
RMB500 (US$60.24) in mass production, which is about the same cost as conventional modems.
