		<description><![CDATA[Recent high profile hacks on websites and online networks of large organisations have resulted in Brits feeling concerned about the threat of hacking, and calling for businesses and government to take firmer action. According to a new report released by Professor Majid Yar, leading cybercrime expert from the University of Hull, commenting on the results of a survey* by PC Tools, 97% of Brits believe online hacking is an issue we, as a society, should be worried about. Britons condemn hackers Recent large-scale security breaches by rogue individuals and cybercrime collectives that resulted in millions of UK internet users’ personal and financial details being compromised, have driven the nation to a state of concern and discontent. Based on the survey results, one in five Brits has lost trust in large organisations and approximately one in six of respondents are disappointed by how the police have handled this public threat. Although a number of these attacks have been attributed to ‘hacktivist’ groups, who claim their motivation behind this activity is to champion a political or social cause, nearly all Brits disapprove of this particular form of cybercrime. Hacking never justified According to the report, 40% of respondents argue that hacking is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over three quarters of UK office workers would turn a blind eye to malpractice in the office and fail to report it, according to the latest research from the Federation Against Software Theft. The research also found that two thirds of British workers are unaware of the law when it comes to protecting whistleblowers in the workplace. A staggering 69 per cent of those questioned stated that they had no idea that legislation exists to protect them should they do the right thing. Despite the fact that some 71 per cent of the sample knew that their employer had a policy on illegally used software, 76 per cent of the same group stated that they would not report misuse! Key findings include: 69 per cent of workers are unaware of the law that protects whistleblowers. A staggering 76 per cent would not report their employer if they were using illegal software. Of this sample 13 per cent stated that they would not report illicit use to protect their jobs; 22 per cent because they did not wish to be seen as a whistleblower and amazingly, 46 per cent simply did not care. Of the 24 per cent who would report [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[June was a difficult time for cybercriminals as it saw some notable successes for various law enforcement agencies in the war on cybercrime, according to the latest malware report from Kaspersky Lab. In the US, the activities of two international cybercrime groups that made money from fake antivirus programs were terminated. According to preliminary estimates, the damage caused by the groups amounted to $74 million. In addition to US agencies, the operation to shut down these groups involved law enforcement agencies from another 11 countries. About 600 people suspected of implementing fraudulent online schemes were arrested in several Southeast Asian countries. In June, cybercriminals used Amazon’s cloud to host and distribute malware that targeted Brazilian users and was designed to steal data from customers of nine Brazilian banks. To improve its chances of success, the malware blocked the normal operation of AV programs and special plug-ins that are supposed to make online banking secure. The malware also stole digital certificates and Microsoft Live Messenger credentials. Russian scammers tried their luck at making money for nothing in June using the BitCoins virtual money system. With the help of new malicious programs they launched a legitimate BitCoins file on the victim computer [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For many UK businesses, physically securing computers is preferable to encryption or password protection. This is borne out by the DTI Information Security Breaches Survey 2006 managed by PricewaterhouseCoopers, which reports that &#8220;while 24% of large UK businesses encrypt or password protect their computers&#8217; hard discs, 28% of them actually physically secure their desktop PCs and laptops&#8221;. Also, it reports that &#8220;the bigger the organisation, the more likely it is to have computer equipment stolen&#8221;. However, although it reports that 82% of very large businesses reported theft of equipment by outsiders, it also states that a third of all thefts of equipment in large businesses are carried out by their own staff. Therefore, locking down company PCs with administrator control should be the first line of defence in a company&#8217;s security policy, providing an initial deterrent to would-be thieves from inside and outside the organisation. Just about every way that an organisation&#8217;s data is lost or &#8216;stolen&#8217; is through human error. There have been countless reports of laptops being left behind in taxis or at airports, and stolen out of cars or simply in the street (as a laptop case will more than likely have a laptop inside it). Indeed, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sophos is reminding organisations of the threat posed by zombie networks after a teenager in New Zealand was accused of being at the centre of an international cybercrime network. 18-year-old computer programmer Owen Thorn Walker, has been charged with two counts of accessing a computer for dishonest purposes, damaging a computer system, possessing software for committing crimes, and two counts of accessing a computer system without permission.&#160; If found guilty, Walker could face up to ten years in jail. When arrested in November 2007, it was alleged that Walker &#8211; known by his online handle &#8216;AKILL&#8217; &#8211; was the boss of a gang that had infected 1.3 million computers around the world, stealing banking and credit card information. &#8220;Hackers can use zombie networks of innocent people&#8217;s computers to send spam, manipulate stock prices, steal identities and attack company websites.&#160;&#160; These botnets are one of the biggest security problems faced by the Internet today, and are a powerful weapon in the hands of an experienced cybercriminal,&#8221; said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos.&#160; &#8220;Some people may feel that this case is a long way away because it&#8217;s happening in New Zealand, but Sophos tracks thousands of compromised computers around the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We just got a great item in from Patrick Burke. He is the Assistant General Counsel at Guidance Software, Inc. Prior to that he was a litigator with the London-based international law firm Linklaters so really knows his onions: With corporation’s lawyers increasingly reliant on ready access to the company’s digital information, CISOs who work closely with Legal find their roles expanded and their corporate profile raised. Legal departments at major corporations are increasingly reliant on ready access to their companies’ digital information. Without the ability to locate and collect large amounts of data that resides on the company’s laptops, workstations and servers, a company’s lawyers now find they are unable to effectively advise management on legal questions, defend the company in litigation, advise on the company’s rights under contracts with other companies, investigate HR issues or satisfy regulators. In short, the lawyers have developed a growing dependency on the Chief Information Security Officer (&#8220;CISO&#8221;). The CISO and the Information Security (&#8220;IS&#8221;) team are the people with the authorisation, ability and tools to search the company’s data, collect what the lawyers need, and deliver it to them in a usable format. Given the range of legal matters at issue – [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to Tower Software, who sent this in&#8230;not a bad little piece&#8230; Our advice is: &#8220;Don&#8217;t panic&#8221; There may not actually be a Vogon constructor fleet out there but &#8216;e-disclosure&#8217; (or &#8216;e-discovery&#8217; as our US cousins refer to it) is certainly on the horizon. In this article, we take a look at what e-disclosure is, what it isn&#8217;t, and how to prepare for it. First, a bit about disclosure Disclosure in the legal sense is certainly nothing new but its scope has changed substantially over the years. In the early 1980s, disclosure simply referred to the production of any unused material (that is to say material which the prosecution was not going to use) to the defence. Following a number of miscarriage of justice cases, a broader definition of disclosure was introduced in 1996 including Lord Goldsmith’s (then HM Attorney General) so-called ‘golden rule’ which stated that “fairness requires full disclosure should be made of all material held by the prosecution that weakens its case or strengthens that of the defence.” The obligation for full disclosure also exists in the Civil Procedure Rules (1999) that govern the civil courts of England and Wales. Clearly full disclosure is a two way [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Marks &#38; Spencer have been found guilty of breaking data protection rules by failing to secure the personal details of some 26,000 employees. This breakdown in security happened when a Laptop was stolen during a burglary at a contractors house and the theives got away with pension arrangement details of the M&#38;S staff. Thefts are not uncommon, and often the data that goes missing on laptops was not the original target. Indeed it would also not be a bonus for any standard criminal as they likely do not know what they have in their hands and just look for the quick sell. The problem in this instance with M&#38;S is that the data on the Laptop was not encrypted and not even protected by a basic password. This means all the data was being kept unsecured on a personal Laptop. ICO Assistant Commissioner Mick Gorrill said: &#8220;It is essential that before a company allows personal information to leave its premises on a laptop there are adequate security procedures in place to protect personal information, for example, password protection and encryption.&#8221; The ICO is the official watchdog set up to police the Data Protection Act and the Freedom of Information Act.
