SingNet and SingTel Magix, two ISPs located in Singapore, have admitted
to asking the Home Affairs Ministry's IT security unit to scan 200,000
of its subscribers to see if their systems are vulnerable to hacker
attacks. The ISPs asked the Ministry to perform the scans because they
where the "experts" in this area. Users where not informed of the scans
beforehand. This new report of scans is evidently the cause of
yesterdays report that Ms Lee, 21, was being "attacked" by the Ministry
of Home Affairs. (Sure wish I lived somewhere where everyone looked
after my well being so closely)

There is so much FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt)here it is hard to
separate the facts from the sensationalism. Evidently a group of "cyber
terrorists" known as the "Phone Rangers" broke into the
computer/telephone network of GTE in the Dallas Fort Worth area. The
"computer hackers" reportedly had the ability to disrupt 911 calls, shut
down police departments and warn drug dealers of wire taps. The 'hacks'
reportedly started over four years ago and are only now being made
public. What the article does not say is whether the attacks have
stopped or whether anyone has been arrested or charged with a crime.
This 'report' is mostly what could have happened as opposed to what
actually did happen.

A story that HNN has been reporting on for the last few days has finally
been picked up by the mainstream press. While the recently rereleased
Cold Fusion hole was patched months ago many many web sites have not
been patched and are still vulnerable to attack.
