David L. Smith, the man who has been charged with creating and
disseminating the Melissa virus, admitted to investigators that he did
it, according to court papers. Lawyers for the defense dispute that
an admission of guilt was made. Smith has pleaded not guilty to charges
of interrupting public communication, conspiracy, theft of computer
service, and wrongful access to computer systems. David Smith remains
free on $100,000 bail.

Oxblood Ruffin, from the Cult of the Dead Cow, gives an interview about
the existence of the Hong Kong Blondes. The HKBs are a group of Chinese
dissidents who are trying to destabilize the Chinese Government through
the Internet. Last week a report was issued that there was no evidence
to support their existence and concluded that therefore they must not
exist.

Global Markets Research (GMR), a UK company, has offered $50,000(US) to
anyone who can break their proprietary email system within three months.
The company designed 1on1 e-mail "to guarantee complete
confidentiality", the program uses 2048 bit encryption while email is in
transit and can autodelete email after it has been read.

HNN has stated its feelings about these 'Hacker Challenges' before.
These should not be considered adequate testing methods. Reasons, 1)
Most people with the knowledge to break systems like this are busy
making bigger money elsewhere, 2) The real bad guys don't want to give
away their secrets, 3) this is not a controlled environment conducive to
good research.
<p>
If companies want publicity and a good test of their security then they
should hire someone like <a href="http://www.nmrc.org">NMRC</a>, <a
href="http://www.pharlap.com/">Phar Lap</a>, <a
href="http://www.l0pht.com">L0pht</a>, <a

party security experts to review their software.

The National Security Agency has been actively recruiting at least one
member of the underground community. Ender Wiggin, editor of OSAll web
site has received offers for free tuition to a four year college,
salary, and room and board, in exchange for working for the NSA for five
years after graduation. After noticing the NSA was visiting his web site
he sent an inquiring email and then received the offer to join this
program.

On two separate occasions stolen laptops where recovered with the help
of the distributed.net RC5 client. The idiotic thieves did not reformat
the hard drives of the stolen systems like they should have and instead
started using them on the internet with the original software installed.
Distributed.net was then able to match the original email address from
the clients with the machines new IP numbers to trace the thieves.

Not everyone thinks this is a good thing. Some feel that Distributed.net
erred by giving out its web logs without a warrant.
