Start at the monetary and fiscal system, whatever you do with the patent system will fall short to the financial jamming coming from the first two. "Phillip H.

US GPS source code copied

Hacker snags U.S. satellite software, codes By Robert Lemos CNET News.com An international investigation has turned up evidence that a hacker stole source code for classified software used by the U.S. Defense Department to control satellites and guide rockets. Law enforcement searched the servers of software consultant Carbonide on Feb. 6 on suspicion that a hacker used the company's Freebox Web e-mail service to distribute the source code to others, said Erik Wickbom, CEO of the Stockholm, Sweden-based Carbonide. "We didn't know it was there, and we didn't know it was source code," he told CNET News.com on Friday. Although the search occurred nearly a month ago, it did not become public until Friday. After the four-hour search, the team of Swedish law enforcement and FBI computer experts left with copies of the evidence. "Immediately after, we deleted the source code," Wickbom said. The source code was part of a software program known as OS/COMET, which is used by the military to control satellites and rockets, Reuters reported Friday. The U.S. Air Force has plans to use the software to control the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System from its Colorado Springs Monitor Station, which is part of the Air Force Space Command, according to a December press release from the software's creator, Exigent Software Technology. The source code appears to have been stolen from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory in Washington D.C. on Dec. 24. The military detected the intrusion three days later, Reuters reported. The FBI would not comment on the theft or the investigation. The stolen source code is apparently a fragment of the complete application. That's because Wickbom said law enforcement official could fit the data on a single floppy disk, about 1.44MB of space. Although the hacker had used the name "Leeif" on the system, Wickbom said the account was stolen. Wickbom added that the trail apparently points to a German university as the source of the intrusion into the Freebox network, but that a skilled attacker could easily have broken in elsewhere. "He knew what he was doing absolutely," Wickbom said. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/cn/20010302/tc/hacker_snags_u_s_satellite_soft…

Wonder if he was using PGP and his passphrase was weak? If not, should this be as unsettling as it seems?
