Jeffrey Gerard Levy, the college student who became the first person
convicted under the 'No Electronic Theft Act' of 1997 has pled guilty to
one count of "criminal infringement or reproduction." However, a plea
bargain will ensure that he does not see the inside of a jail cell. The
DOJ has stated that they will not bring about hundreds of these cases,
but hope that the conviction will serve as a warning to others who
engage in computer piracy as a 'hobby'. <i>(How is no jail time that big
of a warning?)</i>

UltraAccess.net, the company that makes NetBus Pro, is lashing out
against Anti-Virus vendors for restricting sales of its product by
labeling the software as a virus. Net Bus Pro 2.1 is a remote
administration tool similar to Back Orifice that allows an administrator
to control a remote system. UltraAccess.net is claiming that AV vendors
like Symantec think that NetBus is competition for their remote
administration software and that is why it is being flagged by the AV
software. UltraAccess says that unless some sort of agreement can be
reached they may purse legal action against AV companies for defamation
and restraint of trade.

This new hole in Internet Explorer 5 allows an infocriminal to place a
program on a victim's hard disk that will be executed at the next
reboot. The bug can be exploited from a user opening a web page or
reading an email. The problem is located with an Active X control called
"Object for constructing type libraries for scriptlets". Microsoft is
working on a fix, in the meantime users are urged to turn off Active X
within their browsers. <i>(Sure glad I use Netscape.)</i>

Undernet, EFnet and DALNet, Internet Relay Chat Networks, had banned
users from Malaysia for seven days last week. Both of Malaysia's
Internet service providers Jaring and TMNet ISPs had been banned from
using the networks effectively cutting off the entire country. The ban
was due to users in the country abusing the networks services. After
discussions with both ISPs the ban was lifted last Friday.
