Internet used widely in American 2004
election: new study 03/14/2005 06:04 PM

The internet played a crucial role for many Americans during the 2004 elections, according to a new study from the Pew Internet and American Life project .

the online political news consumer population grew dramatically from 18% of the U.S. population in 2000 to 29% in 2004. There was also a striking increase in the number who cited the internet as one of their primary sources of news about the presidential campaign: 11% of registered voters said the internet was a primary source of political news in 2000 and 18% said that in 2004.

The full study is available as a pdf download .

Just How Many Wireless Technologies Can
You Misuse In One Shot? 06/17/2004 02:54 PM
We've seen a lot of stories recently about overhyped wireless "security holes" or "exploits" for both WiFi systems and mobile phones. In almost every case, the story would get a lot of press, but the actual risk was extremely low. The discoveries (and subsequent publications) were mostly designed to get attention for some random security researcher who discovered the supposed problem. Well, now that the obvious security attacks are out of the way, security researchers need to get a bit more creative. They can no longer just pick on a single technology (Bluetooth? WiFi?) and find a security hole. Now, they need to get with the converged times and go for a combined attack. That's about the only explanation I can come up with for the announcement of this new "vulnerability" that makes use of Bluetooth, WiFi and SMS all in one shot. The article doesn't do a great job of explaining the attack, but apparently, it works by having someone "bluejack" one of the few phones that are vulnerable to bluejacking (and which haven't been patched), using that connection to send an SMS to an "anonymous prepaid phone" owned by the attacker. They can then use this to determine if (just maybe) the vulnerable phone is a T-Mobile customer. If it is, they then hijack the vulnerable phone again, and send an SMS to T-Mobile to get login info for hotspots (since T-Mobile now lets users get hotspot login info via SMS). If the user is not a T-Mobile customer, there are other options, but they're equally convoluted (sometimes involving another associate with another mobile phone sitting at a hotspot). The group that put out the warning admits there's no evidence that this has been done, and, honestly, it really seems like a security hack for show more than anything else. Of course, now the bar has been set. Who will top it and give us the useless, unlikely security hack that involves four different wireless technologies?

Direct Hacking Down; Virus Problems,
Wireless Network Misuse Up 08/05/2004 12:12 PM
The latest study on computer crime and security shows that, for the first time in a while, direct attacks on corporate information systems are on the decline -- from both inside and outside the company. In fact, it appears there was a significant decline in insider's attacking corporate systems. Of course, that's because they're all abusing the WiFi. It's not at all clear how an insider in the company is likely to be "abusing" a wireless network set up by the company, but the report suggests it's an "emerging threat." Meanwhile, the biggest issue for most companies remains virus attacks and the fact that whatever anti-virus software they're using doesn't seem to work. At all. Either that, or they can't convince their employees not to click on random attachments. Well, in that case, at least we know it's the executives who are screwing up.
