A probe has been launched into recent efforts of crackers attempting to
access Pentagon computer systems. Pentagon officials are unsure if this
is a coordinate attack or the work of separate individuals. Early
indications show that many of the attacks have originated in Russia and
may have had the assistance of a insider. No classified networks have yet
been breached. U.S. Deputy Defense Secretary John Hamre has been quoted as
saying "It is a major concern." (Ed Note: This is the same John Hamre
who last year was quoted as saying "This is the most coordinated attack we
have seen to date" when referring to attacks on government systems by
three teenagers.)

Innerpulse.com, a humorous web site that pokes fun at the information
security world, is claiming it is being threatened by AntiOnline. An
email letter evidently from John Vranesevich, a general partner of
AntiOnline, was sent to Innerpulse.com. This letter accuses Innerpulse of
posting libelous and inflammatory comments directed at AntiOnline. The
letter also asks Innerpulse to remove the offending material or face a
lawsuit. CubeSoft Communications, the web hoaster for Innerpulse.com has
responded to the allegations on the Innerpulse.com web site.

The British government is going to back down over giving law enforcement
the power to
eavesdrop on personal and business data sent over the Internet. The
Foundation for Information Policy Research said that Prime Minister Tony
Blair has made it clear the government would not seek to link the
licensing of new electronic certification bodies to key escrow. The power
to access such keys with a warrant was expected to be given to Police,
Customs and the intelligence services under the provisions of a new
Electronic Commerce Bill.
