How We're Paying To Make The Internet
Less Secure 08/16/2004 04:25 PM
The decision a few weeks ago from the FCC that VoIP services qualified for federal wiretap laws, is making people aware of quite a few additional consequences. Mark Rasch has written up a piece over at SecurityFocus suggesting that the plan basically means higher rates for all of us, so that broadband ISPs can make the internet less secure. By making it tappable by law enforcement, they're basically opening it up to hackers as well, since anything they do to avoid real security and encryption means the data will be less secure overall. Also, because it involves quite a bit of work to set up the technology to make sure the broadband connections are tappable, and even the FBI brushed off that expense by saying "pass it on to the users," it now means that everyone with a broadband connection is paying to make things less secure.

Gates: We'll Make Security Our Forte

Gates: We'll Make Security Our Forte 08/13/2004 02:46 PM
Microsoft’s chief software architect, Bill Gates, plans on turning Microsoft’s security problems around, making them into a valuable asset. Already, Microsoft has made some great progress by releasing new security features present in SP2 for Windows XP, and by releasing guides to help administrators - e.g. setup a defense against viruses. Still Bill Gates knows more has to be done, a fact no one will disagree with.

There's no doubt that security is a major concern with Microsoft, especially after Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT) recommended that user's of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer browser consider switching browsers. Bill Gates says that Microsoft is committed to helping companies reduce network costs, and to reduce the complexity involved with securing Windows PCs. In order to do this, Microsoft has to continue to improve the security of it's products, and not freeze the effort like analyst believed it would after SP2 was released.

By now, everyone has their opinion about the security features in SP2. Some analyst believes that more could have been done; a viewpoint easy to say but hard to back up. Security may soon become Microsoft’s newest strength, but it will take a lot of hard work from Microsoft. They need to not only add new security measures to its products, but to also educate its customers.

Microsoft Windows Leak – Has it opened
up the door to viruses? 02/16/2004 10:43 AM
Last week the Microsoft Corporation announced that part of the source code for Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0 had been leaked and posted illegally online. The day before the Microsoft announcement on February 12th, hundreds megabytes of text files containing source code for Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0 were published across a number of hacker websites. The files included the code of applications such as WINSOCK, Internet Explorer, and Outlook. All the websites where the code was published have since been closed, however there is no guarantee that the information will not resurface.
