Reuters - Top marketers are going digital to track the delivery of commercials into U.S. homes with a system some advocates say will revolutionize advertising the way product codes changed the selling of sliced bread.

Pentagon Can't Even Keep Track Of The
Systems That Keep Track Of Stuff 07/08/2004 12:33 PM
The Pentagon certainly isn't known for efficiency in their business processes, and no one ever said they needed to be run in the same manner as a profitable business, but the fact that they can't even track the thousands of different databases and logistics systems that are supposed to keep track of all of their purchases and assets is a bit worrisome. At the very least it's a huge recipe for fraud, with plenty of already greedy enough defense contractors clearly abusing the system for great profit to themselves -- at the expense of our own tax dollars.

One of the more fascinating moments of today's White House press conference with Bush and Allawi came when the president, who claims to pay scant attention to public opinion polling (that's something Clintons do), referred to "right track/wrong track" polling in Iraq like he was George Gallup himself:

Whose criminals are they?

Whose criminals are they? 11/17/2003 10:04 PM
Whose criminals are they? Canada and the U.S. are deporting immigrant criminals back to the Caribbean -- criminals who were born there but, in many cases, raised in North America. Whose problem are they? Virtually every Caribbean country feels the burden of the deportations, espe cially from the U.S., which, in 1998, deported 55,500 "aliens" on criminal grounds, 3,700 to the Caribbean. Defenders of the deportations say Canada and the U.S. are just getting rid of bad apples, many of whom shouldn't be here in the first place. But The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) says that, frequently, the deportees have little more than place of birth to connect them to the region. In most cases these deportees have no money, little education, few relatives or friends to whom they can turn, and many are truly violent and lawless. The culture of drugs and guns that many carry back to their native lands is wreaking havoc in nations that receive them in substantial numbers.

Are the Tyco executives criminals?

Are the Tyco executives criminals? 04/09/2004 04:11 PM

The Tyco CEO and CFO are in the news right now after a mistrial (st ory).  Allegedly they looted $600 million from the company.  This sounds bad but if you look at this profile of Tyco, the $600 mil is less than the most recent quarter's income of $720 million and only about 1% of the company's market value of $58 billion.  Let's compare that to some other looters in the news:

• Richard Grasso took $200 million or so that he took from the New York Stock Exchange, a non-profit org.  Grasso's haul is roughly comparable to ten years of profits for the NYSE.  Grasso got his looting approved by his friends on the Board and therefore won't face criminal prosecution though the NY State attorney general is trying to force him to repay some of his booty.
• Jack Welch, in his autobiography, talks about having transferred 30 percent of General Electric from the investors into the hands of "employees" (the lions share to himself and a few other top guys presumably).
• William T. Esrey and Ronald LeMay looted $311 million in one year alone from Sprint, about half of the company's profits in a good year.  They were not prosecuted for their looting but the IRS became upset with their scheme to avoid paying any taxes on this income.

From the very fact of their prosecution we can infer that the Tyco guys did not dot their i's and cross their t's as effectively as the average corporate looter but is there any evidence that their looting was above average?

Hardworking Criminals and Poker

Hardworking Criminals and Poker 12/19/2004 03:06 PM

I attended a client's Christmas lunch yesterday.  Together we were a nice formiddable cluster of forces with lots of proven talents in our own fields -- engineers, executives, lawyers, strategists, and investors.  At one point we talked about the current and near future security landscape and, frankly, the picture looks real good for security technology companies.

Most notable change was that the bad guys are focusing more on ways to attack at the infrastructure level, not only taking advantage of existing vulnerabilities but boldly creating their own.  For example, selling Cisco router clones with compromised firmware means they can gain full control over all the packets passing through those routers anytime they want.

With the world full of bad guys, working hard constantly to create new market opportunities for security companies, profit for those companies hangs in the balance between hope and despair.  With too much of either, disbelief kicks in.  While finding the right balance is difficult to do as a group, security technology market ecosystem is IMHO better than others such as open source market (create a useful jungle of a mess en masse, sell survival manuals and cleanup service), although not as good as the one defense companies have.

It's not just the criminals who are working hard.  Folks at Secunia have discovered another mind-wheeling IE vulnerability.  If you look at how it's implemented (view source on the page), you can see that it takes no more than a few minutes to mimick any website your want with minimal hassle.

If you are in the software business, you shouldn't despair.  The good news (?) is that highly critical vulnerabilities encourage users to update their software at unprecedented rate.  For example, this Acrobat Reader vulnerability, which allows hackers to run their code as soon as someone opens a compromised PDF file available over the web, means everyone with Acrobat Reader should update.

The added bonus for developers is that hassles of supporting legacy code can be easily blasted away with vulnerabilities (we really want to support legacy browsers, but we can't for security reasons) and creates new opportunities (Foo Explorer is full of bugs, get Foofox).

So are we winning the war against hackers?  You bet.  While the flow of vulnerabilities (hole flow?) will not stop until all of us are buried and stomped on for good measure, the good guys are making a lot more money than the bad guys.  Winning is easy if you are more flexible with the definition of 'we'.

Sorry guys.  I am feeling a little sarcastic (insanely optimistic?) today.  Maybe a nap will help.

Anyway, I have a big poker game tonight, a poker tournament finale with winners and runner ups from previous tournaments.  I attended only one tournament but managed to knockout enough players to secure my spot.  Odds are against me though.  Since I attended only one tournament, I don't know most of tonight's players and I haven't had any time to plan my strategy.  On top of that, I had only four hours of sleep last night.  So I'll have to wing it as I go and try to stay awake though the slugging fest.

Time To Take Down Some Cyber Criminals

Time To Take Down Some Cyber Criminals 06/08/2004 08:17 PM
Writer Bruce Sterling gave the keynote address at a security conference and said that it's time that law enforcement realized that online scams are no longer the result of bored teenagers, but the majority are for-pr ofit enterprises run by organized crime operations. He says that law enforcement still doesn't take online crime seriously enough, and that's letting these online criminals take over. His solution is to get prosecutors who will take down online criminals and make an example of them. In other words, someone needs to take charge and clean up cyberspace.
