Wireless Hackers Leave No Tracks

Wireless Hackers Leave No Tracks 06/28/2004 04:48 PM
“…Before WLANs, if I were a hacker or virus writer or if I wanted to download or share illegal material, I had limited options. I could use my own account and eventually get caught after the feds tracked the abuse back to me. I could steal an AOL account by phishing until the feds used phone traces to catch me. Or I could wander into a Web cafe, do my evil deeds and flee, leaving closed-circuit TV footage, fingerprints and physical evidence the feds could use to put me behind bars. With WLANs, things have changed. On most streets in big metropolitan areas, a few people have broadband, and at least one uses it with an insecure wireless connection. Perhaps half of those people turn on the Windows XP firewall, but that won’t stop an attacker. They just get within range and connect. There’s no physical evidence, no closed-circuit TV, and the poor schmuck whose broadband connection gets used is the one whom the feds raid.”

Open letter to Miramax: leave KFC Cinema

Open letter to Miramax: leave KFC Cinema
alone 01/07/2004 06:11 PM
An anonymous BoingBoing reader writes:

Miramax has apparently jumped on the "let's be evil" bandwagon. Kung Fu Cult Cinema is a site for fans of Asian Cinema, including reviews, message boards, etc. As part of the site, there are links to websites outside of the U.S. that sell Asian films legally. Miramax has apparently sent the site a bogus "cease and desist" order, claiming that KFC Cinema cannot even *link* to said overseas sites without violating the copyright they have on certain asian films (Hero, Shaolin Soccer, etc.). The link above is to an open response to Miramax's letter.
