Mobile Phones Replacing Cars In Our
Culture 04/29/2004 05:50 PM
The Economist has noticed that mobile phones are rapidly replacing automobiles in our culture. People used to be defined by their cars, but now young people today are focused on customizing, personalizing and displaying their mobile phones as a proxy for who they are. Phones represent independence and mobility for teenagers today the way cars did in past generations. Also, as the article points out - they're fashion items where people feel compelled to buy new ones sooner than is probably necessary. Both have advanced well beyond just being a better version of what they came out of. Cars aren't just horseless buggies any more, and mobile phones are a lot more than just a phone that's mobile. Industry wise, there are similarities as well. Handset makers build different phones off a few basic platforms and try to segment the market with their different offerings. And, in both cases established American and European handset makers are starting to experience competition from cheaper Asian firms.

Bluetooth promises to make Personal Area Networks (PAN) a reality. Unfortunately, it already has a few serious security flaws that need to be nailed down.

Bluetooth Phones Could Leak Data

Bluetooth Phones Could Leak Data 08/02/2004 03:55 PM
A pair of security experts have found a Bluetooth exploit which allows hackers to steal any information stored on Bluetooth cell phones. The pair (Adam Laurie & Martin Herfurt) demonstrated this exploit on popular cell phones brands like Nokia, Sony-Ericsson, and TDK today.

Many of the most popular models of Bluetooth-enabled cell phones can be hacked easily, enabling a malicious hacker to steal phone books, images, calendar information, or virtually anything else stored on the phone, say a pair of security experts.

Adam Laurie, chief security officer and director of AL Digital and the Bunker, a secure Web hosting facility in Europe, and Martin Herfurt, a researcher at Salzburg Research, described the danger at a session Friday at the Defcon 12 conference here. The pair demonstrated how software tools they created give them virtually total control over Bluetooth phones from a wide range of handset manufacturers, including Nokia, Sony-Ericsson, and TDK.

Widespread Vulnerabilities

Herfurt demonstrated three different ways to attack a phone: He could send unsolicited text messages to the phone's screen, download all the data stored on a phone (or manipulate the data on the phone itself), and turn the phone into a roaming bug by forcing a targeted phone to call another phone.

Tow Truck Drivers Push Cars into
Tow-Away Zone then hold cars for ransom

Tow Truck Drivers Push Cars into
Tow-Away Zone then hold cars for ransom 03/22/2005 04:59 PM
Mark Frauenfelder: Tian says: "On March 7th, I took photos of a tow truck driver that damages a vehicle then tries to get away in Phoenix.

Sunday night (March 20th), Phoenix news channel 15 used a bait car and discovered that local tow truck company(s) would actually push cars into tow-away zone first, then held the cars as "hostages" for ransom."

I just watched it. The TV crew set up a white SUV as a bait car, and parked it legally. Time and time again, tow trucks would push the car into a red zone, snap a photo, and tow it away. Of course, when the TV crew showed the owner of the tow truck company how his drivers had pushed the car into the red lane, the owner denied responsibility. "I didn't push it," he said.

Arizona lawmakers have been half-heartedly writing legislation to stop this (isn't it illegal to do this already) but the tow truck has so far been able to convince them not to ruin the good thing they've got going. Link to RealMedia file. The segment starts about 20:15 into the broadcast.
