- EU in Piracy Crackdown -
The European Parliament has passed an anti-piracy law, covering everything
from handbags to music downloads. The final vote on the EU Intellectual
Property Rights Enforcement Directive took place in the European Parliament on
9 March. The directive was passed by 330 votes to 151. The law was drawn up to
target professional pirates, criminals and counterfeiters who make copies of
goods such as football shirts or CDs. During the debates, the directive was
widened to cover any infringement of intellectual property. The directive
allows companies to raid homes, seize property and ask courts to freeze bank
accounts to protect trademarks or intellectual property they believe are being
abused or stolen.
- Microsoft Releases March Monthly Security Updates: None Critical -
On Tuesday,
Microsoft's Security Response Center
issued three new security bulletins , none of which are rated critical;
one bulletin is rated important, while the other two are moderate. The Office
security flaw is the only one that could allow malicious hackers to run
unwanted code on users' systems. That flaw affects systems running Office XP
Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Outlook 2002 SP2. The moderate security flaw for MSN
Messenger 6.0 and 6.1 could allow attackers to view, but not change or
download, files on the victim's computer. That flaw will also be fixed in an
upcoming version of the instant messaging (IM) application that Microsoft will
soon issue. The moderate security flaw in Windows Media Services affects
Windows 2000 with SP2, SP3, and SP4 and could let hackers send fake streaming
media requests that will shut down the service. That situation would be, in
effect, a denial of service (DoS) attack
