Net needs law enforcement, author says 06/08/2004 04:54 PM

WASHINGTON - The Internet is a "god-awful mess," but few U.S. government officials are willing to take action against virus writers, spammers and other scammers, author Bruce Sterling said at the Gartner IT Security Summit Tuesday in Washington, D.C.

Law Enforcement Says Open Wi-Fi Networks
Used for Crime


Law Enforcement Says Open Wi-Fi Networks
Used for Crime
03/19/2005 02:24 AM

Criminals use Wi-Fi to hide their tracks: But not very always successfully. Some criminals aren't very bright and are using networks adjacent to where they live and having stolen goods shipped to them despite using other people's networks. Others are more clever and their use of random Wi-Fi networks prevents them being tracked down by law enforcement as they engage in death threats, fraud, and cracking.

The article also lumps together unsecured business and home networks with free Wi-Fi networks: "Ms. Hubert [the supervisory special agent in charge of the Cyber Task Force at the F.B.I. field office in Buffalo] says one group of hackers she has been tracking has regularly frequented a local chain of Wi-Fi-equipped tea and coffee shops to help cover its tracks."

I welcome this article because there has been a lot of speculative coverage before this as to whether Wi-Fi was being used in this manner. Now we have a number of agencies citing actual cases in progress or already in court.

The SBC number is a little odd, by the way: the spokesperson says that SBC has shipped one million Wi-Fi routers to its customers with encryption turned on. But I saw a number months ago that said that SBC had shipped nearly three million routers to customers (out of a population of five million DSL users at that time). Did two of the three million get shipped with encryption off?

More Enforcement Needed To Stop Online
Fraud?
09/09/2004 11:16 AM
While laws about various online scams continue to get proposed and passed, some are noticing that there already appear to be plenty of laws on the books that cover just about every kind of online scam. The proble m is enforcement. Despite recent announcements from the US DOJ about taking down various online scams, it's just a tiny drop in the bucket. One interesting point in the article is that many ISPs are slow to deal with scammers because they can get hit from both sides. They don't want to know what the scammers are doing, because they don't want to be held liable for "aiding and abetting" by knowing about the scams that take place on their systems. At the same time, by shutting down scammers, some are afraid they can be accused of breach of contract and tortious interference with a business relationship. In other words, the incentive is for ISPs to just look the other way until it's absolutely necessary that they do something.
