The iPod may be popular, but also poses such a major security risk for businesses, that enterprises should seriously consider banning the iPod and other portable storage devices, according to a study by research firm Gartner Inc. The devices, using a Universal Serial Bus (USB) or FireWire (IEEE 1394), present risks to businesses on several fronts: from introducing malicious code into a corporate network, to being used to steal corporate data, the Stamford, Conn.-based research company said in its report "How to Tackle the Threat From Portable Storage Devices," published Friday.

Security Watch Special: Windows XP SP2
Security Center Spoofing Threat
08/27/2004 02:05 PM
Windows XP Service Pack 2 promises to raise the security bar for the sometimes beleaguered operating system. Unfortunately, one of the new features could be spoofed so that it reports misleading information about system security, or worse, lets a malicious program watch for an opportunity to do damage without being detected. The feature is the Windows Security Center (WSC), which displays the status ( (Figure 1) )of the key elements of your defenses: Firewall, Updates, and Antivirus. If your firewall has been disabled, or your antivirus is out of date, that news will display here. The information is stored in an internal database managed by the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) subsystem built into Windows.

Using Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser to surf the Internet has become a marked risk — even with the latest security patches installed. That's the upshot of the discovery of yet another Internet Explorer security hole being exploited by intruders bent on swiping personal information from unwitting Internet users. The SANS Institute Internet Storm Center issued an alert this week about pop-up ads designed to download a program that keeps track any time a PC user clicks to the log-in page of 50 financial institutions worldwide. The program captures log-in information and sends it to another Web site, before the bank can encrypt the data.

Anyone who has ever used an external USB TV tuner to try and watch or record TV shows with their PC has probably discovered how the relatively slow speed of USB 1.1 translates into relatively low-quality video. This probably isn't the first one of these on the market, but there's a new external USB 2.0 TV tuner for PCs from Adaptec that all but solves that problem. The VideOh! DVD Media Center USB 2.0 Edition comes with software for automatically recording TV shows as MPEG1 or MPEG2 files and DVD creation software for archiving those same shows once you've run out of space on your hard drive.

It doesn't look quite ready for a released product, of course, but something that small could be very handy for the traveling types who have run out of DVDs and Bit Torrents.

There's probably not very much chance GeCube specifically will release a model here in the States, but the technology is there, so someone will.
