CDR: BRITAIN DEPLOYS 'CYBERCOPS' TO FIGHT INTERNET CRIME (Fwd)
by Bill Stewart 15 Nov '00

Unnamed Administration Sources forwarded this message about a new Internet-based terrorist group in Offshore Northwestern Europe: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Britain deploys 'cybercops' to fight Internet crime By NICK HOPKINS The Guardian November 15, 2000 LONDON - The rising tide of Internet crime - hacking, porn rackets, extortion and fraud - is to be tackled in Britain by a squad of "cybercops." British Home Secretary Jack Straw said the unit will be headed by 80 officers recruited from the police, customs service, national crime squad and National Criminal Intelligence Service (NCIS). Money is also being provided to help fund a 24-hour international hotline for detectives from different countries to "trade information on potential attacks on the national infrastructure." The initiative follows intelligence that shows terrorists are increasingly using the Internet for recruitment and planning. Internet crime has soared in the last three years as criminals have begun to realize the opportunities it offers. The dissemination of computer viruses, such as the "I Love You bug," which wreaked havoc last summer, is also on the rise. Medium-sized businesses are particularly vulnerable to these kinds of attacks because they cannot afford protective filtering systems. Recent research showed that 60 percent of Britain's online businesses have suffered hacking while worrying new trends include evidence of an international Internet trade in body parts. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (Distributed by Scripps Howard News Service.

CDR: Lawyers leading in Florida!
by Tim May 15 Nov '00

15 Nov '00

I can no longer keep count of how many lawsuits and other actions are now in the courts in various counties in Florida and heading for the State Supreme Court. At least a dozen, though some are being consolidated. More have been added, so the overall count will likely go up. There is not even any point in my trying to summarize what the various camps are arguing about...pregnant chads, due process, dimpled chads, explanations of why recounts are required, hanging chads, voter fraud, Carol Roberts switching ballots, swinging door chads, constitutionality of recounts, rights of African-Americans, sunlight tests, butterfly ballots, legality of absentee ballots arriving late, chads, and indented pregnant dimpled chads. While there were past close elections, and even elections where fraud probably gave the election to the loser, this looks to be a curiously modern election: the same lawyers who got O.J. off will get Gore into the White House. --Tim May -- (This .sig file has not been significantly changed since 1992. As the election debacle unfolds, it is time to prepare a new one. Stay tuned.)

micro-ecash, stored value, EDA tool licensing
by David Honig 15 Nov '00

There's an article in EETimes 6 Nov 2000 p 160 about EDA providers who let you download tools, then pay for them by the hour. This differs from ASPs who run the apps on their machines (thereby exposing your secret designs). The interesting thing is that many tools run $5/hour, (e.g., for a $10K-$25K per seat app) and are billable in .01 second quanta. That's about a tenth of a penny. The license-server is filled with stored value (e.g., from a credit card, they'd probably take more anonymous transfers) and can run for a while without talking to the server. Interesting bizmodel and good example of crypto enabling commerce. [Though not really privacy ---you're still trusting the tool provider not to have hacked the tools to send your designs home..] "e*ECAD" is the company FWIW.

That's one reason that Bush has been working on overturning election results in other states. Gore would not only have to win Oregon, which he probably has, but not lose any of the other states he's won - anywhere else would require a lot more defections. Thanks!
