| Jay Satiro, 19, admitted in court that last March he broke into America | |
| Online. The damage he caused is estimated at $50,000. He has pleaded | |
| guilty in Westchester County Court to first-degree computer tampering. | |
| This crime carries a maximum sentence of up to 15 years in prison. It | |
| should be noted that he once worked as an AOL volunter and used his | |
| inside knowledge while committing his crimes. | |

| ZD Net has admitted to rigging a recent challenge to break in to a NT | |
| and Linux box. The test conducted for PC Week attempted to find which | |
| was the more secure operating system. ZDNet Labs has revealed that they | |
| <i>deliberately neglected</i> to apply 21 different security patches to | |
| the Linux system, including the one used by the person who broke the | |
| Linux boxes security. <i>And people wonder why we label these | |
| challenges as publicity stunts.</i> | |

| The Joint Task Force for Computer Network Defense (JTF-CND), has become | |
| part of US Space Command. JTF-CND is tasked with conducting real-time | |
| intrusion detection and cyber counterintelligence across DOD networks. | |
| This raises JTF-CND's political clout to a level where the unit may | |

| The Dutch police department has opened their new cybercrime unit by | |
| naming 15 'cybercops' to the unit. The unit will patrol the Internet | |
| looking for criminal activity such as pedophilia to credit card fraud. | |
| The unit will be permitted to tap phones with a court order and has the | |
| authority to break-in to personal systems in search of evidence. <i>(The | |

| Sorry, but this is a personal pet-peeve of ours and we are going to rant | |
| about it. In my opinion there is a conspiracy (yes, strong accusation) | |
| between the cell phone companies and the airlines to force you to use | |
| the on board telephones at a whopping $6 a minute or approximately $150 | |
| million a year. They force these ungodly rates upon you by claiming that | |
| normal cell phone usage may cause interference with the plane and cause | |
| it to crash. Funny how test after test after test have failed to turn up | |
| any evidence of interference from on board wireless devices. If | |
| cell-phones do cause problems then why are they allowed into terminals, | |
| lobbies, parking lots, etc.. and why are ground crews routinely given | |
| radio's to carry around? And who prevents cell phone usage on private | |
| and corporate planes? Are these multi million dollar aircraft so poorly | |
| built that they can not withstand a few low power electromagnetic | |
| radiations? <i>(Before you send us hate mail saying that we are placing | |
| peoples lives in jeopardy please read all three pages of this | |
| article.)</i> | |

| Things have gotten so far out of hand that at least one man in England | |
| has been sent to a year in jail for using his cell phone inside an | |
| airplane. | |

| These are the only two studies we could find on the possibility of | |
| wireless devices causing interference on board an aircraft. Neither | |
| study could find any evidence of such interference. | |
