http://www.computerworld.com/securitytopics/security/story/0,10801,97017,00… By Dan Verton OCTOBER 28, 2004 COMPUTERWORLD In what it called an "Information Age undercover investigation," the U.S. Secret Service today announced that it has arrested 28 people from eight U.S. states and six countries allegedly involved in a global organized cybercrime ring. Charges filed against the suspects include identity theft, computer fraud, credit card fraud and conspiracy. The investigation, code-named Operation Firewall, resulted in what the Secret Service described as a significant disruption of organized criminal activity online that was targeting the financial infrastructure of the U.S. The suspects are alleged to have collectively trafficked in at least 1.7 million stolen credit card numbers. Financial institutions have estimated their losses associated with the suspects targeted by the investigation to be more than $4.3 million. "Led by the Secret Service Newark Field Office, investigators from nearly 30 domestic and foreign Secret Service offices and their global law enforcement counterparts have prevented potentially hundreds of millions of dollars in loss to the financial and hi-tech communities," Secret Service Director W. Ralph Basham said in a statement. "These suspects targeted the personal and financial information of ordinary citizens, as well as the confidential and proprietary information of companies engaged in e-commerce." Operation Firewall began in July 2003 and quickly evolved into a transnational investigation of global credit card fraud and online identity theft. The underground criminal groups have been identified as Shadowcrew, Carderplanet and Darkprofits. The organizations operated Web sites used to traffic counterfeit credit cards and false identification information and documents. The groups allegedly used the sites to share information on how to commit fraud and sold the stolen information and the tools needed to commit such crimes. International law enforcement organizations that took part in the investigation and arrests included the U.K.'s National Hi-Tech Crimes Unit, the Vancouver Police Department's Financial Crimes Section, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Europol. Officials in Bulgaria, Belarus, Poland, Sweden, the Netherlands and Ukraine also were involved. _________________________________________ Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB) Everything is Vulnerable - http://www.osvdb.org/ --- end forwarded text -- ----------------- R.

Palladiated Handheld Security Spec
by R.A. Hettinga 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

<http://www.eweek.com/print_article/0,1761,a=138221,00.asp> EWeek 'Palladium' Echoes in New Handheld Security Spec October 27, 2004 By Mark Hachman Intel, IBM and NTT DoCoMo have released a specification to create a "trusted mobile platform," which appears to take the foundation of Microsoft's own trust initiative, "Palladium," into the mobile space. The three companies placed the Trusted Mobile Platform specification on the Internet for public review. An executive at Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel said the company hopes to have TMP products on the market by 2005, although the timing will be heavily dependent on OEM participation. ADVERTISEMENT The problem is that, as of now, the TMP group does not include a participating handset OEM, an operating-system manufacturer, a radio-component manufacturer, an application provider or a manufacturer of the trusted platform module (TPM) components that will be used to secure the platform. The lack of these elements led one analyst to state that the triumvirate will need many more players to achieve the critical mass it will need to move forward. But things move quickly in the mobile space, other analysts said, and even an aggressive 2005 launch date might not be out of reach. The goal is to provide a means of "trust" inside a mobile platform, similar to the "Palladium" initiative Microsoft Corp. began floating in 2002 and later referred to as the Next Generation Secure Computing Base. NGSCB is supposed to be a feature of Longhorn, Microsoft's next-generation OS. In May, Microsoft said it would tweak the Palladium architecture to make it simpler for developers to produce compatible applications. Like Palladium, the TMP initiative is designed to secure mobile commerce and protect the system from viruses and/or worms designed to modify the internal code. Intel's contributions are as a chip provider, while DoCoMo contributed the "key usage scenarios" that guided the research into creating the specification, said Jeff Krisa, director of marketing for Intel's cellular handheld group. Next Page: A lack of support from key vendors. Intel has already placed some elements of the TMP within its "Bulverde" wireless applications processor, known as the PXA27X family, Krisa said. "The level of digital rights management will be implemented on the software level within the middleware, and will procedurally determine what you can pass forward and save on the handset as well," Krisa said, adding that it will be managed by IBM's WebSphere team. IBM contributed software "expertise," June Namioka, a spokeswoman for IBM's Asia-Pacific headquarters in Tokyo, said in an interview. Intel's Krisa said work focused on some of the higher-end software protocols used by the technology. One analyst called IBM's involvement significant. "Enterprise wireless apps are more of a concern for the average IT manager than for the average consumer," said Julie Ask, a wireless analyst with Jupitermedia Corp.'s JupiterResearch division. "The risk isn't so much in bringing down my phone, it's hacking into my system or making sure the workers on the factory floor can't talk to one another, which could be disastrous." However, the initiative currently lacks the support of a number of other key vendors. For his part, Krisa said the 2005 launch date is "highly dependent on other members, middleware ecosystem and OS vendors." A representative from Symbian, a U.K.-based provider of embedded OSes, did not return a call for comment. Although both the hardware and software specifications were released Wednesday, the software document indicates that it was authored June 23. Analyst reaction was mixed. "Without having details, I see this '05 thing as questionable," said Neil Strother, senior analyst with In-Stat/MDR in Phoenix. "Even if they move quickly, I'm skeptical." If you want to build trust in the trust model, "you have to get the banking guys on board," he said. Cliff Raskind, director of wireless enterprise strategies at Boston-based Strategy Analytics, said his first impression was that the triumvirate didn't have the clout that a trio of Microsoft, Intel and Cisco Systems Inc. might have in trying to establish standards for the Wi-Fi space. Wireless, by contrast, encompasses too many players. "You need buy-in across the board," he said. Click here to learn what vendors were plugging at this week's CTIA Wireless show. On the other hand, the life cycle for phones has shrunk to between six and eight months, forcing handset makers and carriers alike to implement new technology quickly or risk losing market share, analysts said. In a recent executive study, JupiterResearch found that 30 percent of the respondents cited poor device security as their chief barriers to adopting new wireless devices. Thirty-one percent cited poor network security. "Things do move quickly in the mobile space, and Intel is very serious in growing its communications business and putting in the marketing dollars to do so," JupiterResearch's Ask said. "When you announce with a carrier, that's good," Ask added. "I'm not sure if it's going to turn into a North American thing, though, versus a Japanese one." Asian carriers are usually on the leading edge of OS and technology advances, she said. Other analysts pointed out that NTT DoCoMo is a major player only in the GSM space, and a European and American carrier would need to sign on. None of the analysts reached for comment said they had been briefed on the TMP technology, which they found unusual. The TMP initiative creates a "boundary of trust" around some of the central components within the handheld system. The system initially boots from a trusted OS stored on a secure ROM, and through the applications processor that's checked against the Trusted Platform Module, or TPM. Data stored on removable devices such as flash cards must be securely encrypted, and the specification also lists the SIM card, used to identify the phone to the carrier, as a trusted device that can authenticate the user. Intel's Krisa said the Trusted Computing Group, which oversees the TPM specifications, will have to come up with a derivative designed for mobile handsets to minimize the platform's power consumption. -- ----------------- R.

Russia Hid Saddam's WMDs
by R.A. Hettinga 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

<http://frontpagemag.com/Articles/Printable.asp?ID=10111> Front Page Magazine Russia Hid Saddam's WMDs By Ion Mihai Pacepa Washington Times | October 2, 2003 On March 20, Russian President Vladimir Putin denounced the U.S.-led "aggression" against Iraq as "unwarranted" and "unjustifiable." Three days later, Pravda said that an anonymous Russian "military expert" was predicting that the United States would fabricate finding Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. Russian Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov immediately started plying the idea abroad, and it has taken hold around the world ever since. As a former Romanian spy chief who used to take orders from the Soviet KGB, it is perfectly obvious to me that Russia is behind the evanescence of Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction. After all, Russia helped Saddam get his hands on them in the first place. The Soviet Union and all its bloc states always had a standard operating procedure for deep sixing weapons of mass destruction - in Romanian it was codenamed "Sarindar, meaning "emergency exit." I implemented it in Libya. It was for ridding Third World despots of all trace of their chemical weapons if the Western imperialists ever got near them. We wanted to make sure they would never be traced back to us, and we also wanted to frustrate the West by not giving them anything they could make propaganda with. All chemical weapons were to be immediately burned or buried deep at sea. Technological documentation, however, would be preserved in microfiche buried in waterproof containers for future reconstruction. Chemical weapons, especially those produced in Third World countries, which lack sophisticated production facilities, often do not retain lethal properties after a few months on the shelf and are routinely dumped anyway. And all chemical weapons plants had a civilian cover making detection difficult, regardless of the circumstances. The plan included an elaborate propaganda routine. Anyone accusing Moammar Gadhafi of possessing chemical weapons would be ridiculed. Lies, all lies! Come to Libya and see! Our Western left-wing organizations, like the World Peace Council, existed for sole purpose of spreading the propaganda we gave them. These very same groups bray the exact same themes to this day. We always relied on their expertise at organizing large street demonstrations in Western Europe over America's "war-mongering" whenever we wanted to distract world attention from the crimes of the vicious regimes we sponsored. Iraq, in my view, had its own "Sarindar" plan in effect direct from Moscow. It certainly had one in the past. Nicolae Ceausescu told me so, and he heard it from Leonid Brezhnev. KGB chairman Yury Andropov, and later, Gen. Yevgeny Primakov, told me so, too. In the late 1970s, Gen. Primakov ran Saddam's weapons programs. After that, as you may recall, he was promoted to head of the Soviet foreign intelligence service in 1990, to Russia's minister of foreign affairs in 1996, and in 1998, to prime minister. What you may not know is that Primakov hates Israel and has always championed Arab radicalism. He was a personal friend of Saddam's and has repeatedly visited Baghdad after 1991, quietly helping Saddam play his game of hide-and-seek. The Soviet bloc not only sold Saddam its WMDs, but it showed them how to make them "disappear." Russia is still at it. Primakov was in Baghdad from December until a couple of days before the war, along with a team of Russian military experts led by two of Russia's topnotch "retired"generals: Vladislav Achalov, a former deputy defense minister, and Igor Maltsev, a former air defense chief of staff. They were all there receiving honorary medals from the Iraqi defense minister. They clearly were not there to give Saddam military advice for the upcoming war-Saddam's Katyusha launchers were of World War II vintage, and his T-72 tanks, BMP-1 fighting vehicles and MiG fighter planes were all obviously useless against America. "I did not fly to Baghdad to drink coffee," was what Gen. Achalov told the media afterward. They were there orchestrating Iraq's "Sarindar" plan. The U.S. military in fact, has already found the only thing that would have been allowed to survive under the classic Soviet "Sarindar" plan to liquidate weapons arsenals in the event of defeat in war - the technological documents showing how to reproduce weapons stocks in just a few weeks. Such a plan has undoubtedly been in place since August 1995 - when Saddam's son-in-law, Gen. Hussein Kamel, who ran Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological programs for 10 years, defected to Jordan. That August, UNSCOM and International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors searched a chicken farm owned by Kamel's family and found more than one hundred metal trunks and boxes containing documentation dealing with all categories of weapons, including nuclear. Caught red-handed, Iraq at last admitted to its "extensive biological warfare program, including weaponization," issued a "Full, Final and Complete Disclosure Report" and turned over documents about the nerve agent VX and nuclear weapons. Saddam then lured Gen. Kamel back, pretending to pardon his defection. Three days later, Kamel and over 40 relatives, including women and children, were murdered, in what the official Iraqi press described as a "spontaneous administration of tribal justice." After sending that message to his cowed, miserable people, Saddam then made a show of cooperation with UN inspection, since Kamel had just compromised all his programs, anyway. In November 1995, he issued a second "Full, Final and Complete Disclosure" as to his supposedly non-existent missile programs. That very same month, Jordan intercepted a large shipment of high-grade missile components destined for Iraq. UNSCOM soon fished similar missile components out of the Tigris River, again refuting Saddam's spluttering denials. In June 1996, Saddam slammed the door shut to UNSCOM's inspection of any "concealment mechanisms." On Aug. 5, 1998, halted cooperation with UNSCOM and the IAEA completely, and they withdrew on Dec. 16, 1998. Saddam had another four years to develop and hide his weapons of mass destruction without any annoying, prying eyes. U.N. Security Council resolutions 1115, (June 21, 1997), 1137 (Nov. 12, 1997), and 1194 (Sept. 9, 1998) were issued condemning Iraq-ineffectual words that had no effect. In 2002, under the pressure of a huge U.S. military buildup by a new U.S. administration, Saddam made yet another "Full, Final and Complete Disclosure," which was found to contain "false statements" and to constitute another "material breach" of U.N. and IAEA inspection and of paragraphs eight to 13 of resolution 687 (1991). It was just a few days after this last "Disclosure," after a decade of intervening with the U.N. and the rest of the world on Iraq's behalf, that Gen. Primakov and his team of military experts landed in Baghdad - even though, with 200,000 U.S. troops at the border, war was imminent, and Moscow could no longer save Saddam Hussein. Gen. Primakov was undoubtedly cleaning up the loose ends of the "Sarindar" plan and assuring Saddam that Moscow would rebuild his weapons of mass destruction after the storm subsided for a good price. Mr. Putin likes to take shots at America and wants to reassert Russia in world affairs. Why would he not take advantage of this opportunity? As minister of foreign affairs and prime minister, Gen. Primakov has authored the "multipolarity" strategy of counterbalancing American leadership by elevating Russia to great-power status in Eurasia. Between Feb. 9-12, Mr. Putin visited Germany and France to propose a three-power tactical alignment against the United States to advocate further inspections rather than war. On Feb. 21, the Russian Duma appealed to the German and French parliaments to join them on March 4-7 in Baghdad, for "preventing U.S. military aggression against Iraq." Crowds of European leftists, steeped for generations in left-wing propaganda straight out of Moscow, continue to find the line appealing. Mr. Putin's tactics have worked. The United States won a brilliant military victory, demolishing a dictatorship without destroying the country, but it has begun losing the peace. While American troops unveiled the mass graves of Saddam's victims, anti-American forces in Western Europe and elsewhere, spewed out vitriolic attacks, accusing Washington of greed for oil and not of really caring about weapons of mass destruction, or exaggerating their risks, as if weapons of mass destruction were really nothing very much to worry about after all. It is worth remembering that Andrei Sakharov, the father of the Soviet hydrogen bomb, chose to live in a Soviet gulag instead of continuing to develop the power of death. "I wanted to alert the world," Sakharov explained in 1968, "to the grave perils threatening the human race thermonuclear extinction, ecological catastrophe, famine." Even Igor Kurchatov, the KGB academician who headed the Soviet nuclear program from 1943 until his death in 1960, expressed deep qualms of conscience about helping to create weapons of mass destruction. "The rate of growth of atomic explosives is such," he warned in an article written together with several other Soviet nuclear scientists not long before he died, "that in just a few years the stockpile will be large enough to create conditions under which the existence of life on earth will be impossible." The Cold War was fought over the reluctance to use weapons of mass destruction, yet now this logic is something only senior citizens seem to recall. Today, even lunatic regimes like that in North Korea not only possess weapons of mass destruction, but openly offer to sell them to anyone with cash, including terrorists and their state sponsors. Is anyone paying any attention? Being inured to proliferation, however, does not reduce its danger. On the contrary, it increases it. -- ----------------- R. A.

Poll Finds Most Americans Have Not Prepared for a Terror Attack
by R.A. Hettinga 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

See .sig, below... :-) Cheers, RAH <http://www.nytimes.com/2004/10/28/national/28homepoll.html?th=&oref=login&p…> The New York Times October 28, 2004 Poll Finds Most Americans Have Not Prepared for a Terror Attack By CALVIN SIMS mericans are closely divided on whether they think the United States is prepared to deal with another terrorist attack, but the overwhelming majority have done nothing to prepare for such an attack themselves, according to a recent New York Times poll. The poll found that most Americans are not worried that they or a family member will become a victim of terrorism, with the majority of the respondents saying they do nothing different even when the government raises the terror-alert level. The survey was conducted for use in a documentary produced by New York Times Television on the status of security in the United States. While domestic security has been a major issue in the presidential campaign with Republicans and Democrats warning that another terrorist attack is inevitable, the Times poll suggests that for most Americans the issue is not a preoccupation. "I guess the reason I'm not terribly worried about it is probably the location I'm in," Angela Loston, 24, a writer from Dallas, said in a phone interview after the survey. "Even though I'm in a major city, I am in the state of Texas, so I don't really see something happening here." David Ropeik, who teaches risk communications at the Harvard School of Public Health, said the survey results reflect a well-established, intuitive human response to risk known as optimism bias, in which individuals disproportionately believe that they will not be victims of a peril even though they widely acknowledge that it will occur. "We see the same phenomenon with smoking, obesity and natural disasters. If you don't think it will happen to you, then you won't take any precautions," Mr. Ropeik said. "When it comes to terrorism, there is some truth here. If an attack happens, it's unlikely that you or I will be a victim. But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't be prepared." In the survey, 46 percent of the respondents said they did not think the United States was prepared for a terrorist attack, while 43 percent said the country was prepared. To questions of personal readiness, 61 percent responded that they did not have a stockpile of food and water at home in preparation for a terrorist attack. More than 70 percent said they had not selected a family meeting place in case of an evacuation due to terrorism, nor had they established a plan to communicate with relatives. Asked why her family had not designated a gathering place or plan to stay in touch, Gloria Peters, a retiree from San Pablo, Calif., said, "We really haven't discussed that, but we should." She added, "The roads are going to be so packed jammed that it's going to be insane." The survey found that women were more likely to regard both the country and their local communities as ill prepared to deal with another attack. Women are also more apt to express concern that someone in their family could become a victim of terrorism: 46 percent of women said they were very or somewhat concerned compared with 26 percent of men. The Times poll, of 554 adults, was conducted nationwide by telephone Oct. 12 to 13 and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus four percentage points. Citing the federal government's handling of the current flu vaccine shortage, Eugene Ladisky, a retired engineer from New York, said: "I get the impression that were there a terrorist attack, our government would let us fend for ourselves."
