Insurance Companies Planning to Survive
a Nuclear Attack 06/01/2004 12:20 PM

Just got my new airplane insurance policy.  Several pages in the front are devoted to excluding coverage for a nuclear attack on the U.S.  If a big bomb is dropped on the hangar in Bedford they don't have to pay:  "the radioactive, toxic, explosive or other hazardous properties of any explosive nuclear assembly or nuclear component thereof".  Not do they have to pay for a dirty bomb set off in a shipping container in the harbor:  "ionizing radiations or contamination by radioactivity from ... any other radioactive source whatsoever."

Insurance Company Offering eBay

Insurance Company Offering eBay
Insurance 11/17/2003 04:17 AM
Everyone has heard about various eBay scams, and it's making people increasingly nervous to buy or sell products on the site. So, along comes an insurance company to try to help alleviate some of the problems. They're offering a form of eBay insurance, though it might not work the way you would expect. It's targeted at eBay power sellers who are willing to give up a small percentage of each sale for the right to display a "BuySafe" logo. The logo is supposed to link to a site that will verify that the logo has been approved. The insurance company (Hartford) then insures that the buyer will either receive the good - or the money they paid for the good will be returned. Of course, they'll only handle claims that occur within 30 days of the sale, so if the seller keeps telling you to hang on a little while longer, you might be out of luck. Also, eBay offers their own service like this, but the fine print is a killer. While the service promises to refund up to $1,000, it isn't $1,000 per purchase, but $1,000 per seller. So, if (as did happen) a seller with such a logo scams people out of a million dollars, the company would split $1,000 among all the victims. Not particularly comforting.

MT-Blacklist

MT-Blacklist 08/10/2004 04:26 PM

MT-Blacklist - A Movable Type Anti-spam Plugin: Well, a new salvo in the war against comment spam has been launched. The idiot hawking tramadol has forced me to install MT-Blacklist. He was coming in about 10 times a day from different IP addresses, so I couldn't ban him. He seems to be locked out pretty securely now.

Great plugin. Required a little hacking to get it to work, but I'm happy. It has a great "de-spam" feature that lets you retroactively examine every past comment AND trackback for banned content. It found seven comment spams that I missed in my daily grooming, then deleted them, and rebuilt the pages. Very slick.

Phishing Blacklist Thoughts

Phishing Blacklist Thoughts 04/17/2004 05:47 PM

These are some of the thoughts I had recently about phishing blacklists which is going to play a major role against phishing in the near future.

1. False reports can be submitted by phishers and pranksters.  To prevent this, anonymous reports should not be allowed.  Unfortunately, the user is not likely to be logged in when a report is made.  Solution is to queue the report until the reporting user successfully logs in.  Once the user is identified and associated with the report, filters and weights can be applied to rate the report.
   
   Queueing reports with client-software is no problem.  For server-side only, file the report under a cookie which can be claimed when the user logs in.  Unclaimed reports are removed after a time limit.
    
2. Maintenance, particularly the removal of entries, will be a big headache as domains are reused and websites are cleaned up.  Current maintainers are not equipped to handle this properly IMHO.
    
3. Companies should also be able to prevent some domain names from being reused independent of domain name registrars.  Ultimately, domain name registrars and blacklist maintainers will have to work things out.  This will likely lead to registrars taking over maintenance of blacklists and extending the service to provide 'howis', 'whatis', and 'whereis' information as well as 'whois'.
    
4. Beyond correlating reports, suspected URLs can be crawled to a) see if it is indeed a phishing site, b) warn the phisher into running and thus abandoning the phishing site, and possibly c) spoofback bogus information.
