Nomad Mobile Research Centre has an issued an advisory concerning Network Associates VirusScan NT (formerly McAfee VirusScan NT) version 4.0.2. They claim it does not properly update virus signature definition files under certain conditions, and will falsely report it is up to date during manual updates. This impacts both NT Server and Workstation. NAI says that people should upgrade to 4.0.3a.

Wired magazine has finally picked up the story about how NEC, Motorola, Nokia, and Sun Microsystems came to the conclusion that Kevin Mitnick cost them almost $300 million dollars. Considering that these supposed losses were not reported to the IRS or to shareholders one has to wonder how accurate these losses really are. Kevin Mitnick is scheduled to be sentenced on June 14th when the question of damages, as well as his ability to pay them, will be considered.

Secretary Cohen had the right idea when he set up a Reservist Unit to sanitize government web sites. The idea is that lots of unclassified data could be amassed to draw inferences about classified data. Well the corporate world should learn from that. If you don't think that your competition is reading every word on your corporate web site think again. Some companies have gone so far as to hire outside firms to sift through all the data. Hey, its Free and its there for the taking. Better review the contents of your corporate web site now before your competitors do.

The International Institute for Strategic Studies released a paper that claims that the the Y2K problem is a known quantity, has a strict deadline and methods to solve the problem are at hand. The annual "Strategic Survey" says that this is in stark contrast to cyber threats that could take down the entire global internet. (I haven't found the paper yet but this news article is full of bogus info. If it is any indication of how acurate the paper is then don't bother.)
