CREATOR OF "Melissa" VIRUS ARRESTED BY FBI
The press has recently reported more than once
appeared virus "MELISSA", which became
known for its catastrophic
stvami. He spreads with incredible speed
distributed throughout the world via electronic
ron mail. This led to serious
FBI attention to catching the author of this virus
sa. Probably ironically arrested
it was on April 1st. This is thirty year old David
Smith, who lives in New Jersey. Paul Lo-
Riquet, Attorney General of New Jersey,
reported that “his guilt is not yet completely
proven, and let him pray,to let him
acquitted." There are reasons to become a monk.
If his authorship is proven, he will face
40 years (!) imprisonment and a fine
amounting to $400,000. On the morning of April 2nd David
released on bail of $50,000 pending completion
careful collection of all necessary evidence. A
while Smith is under house arrest,
without permission to even approach the calculation
casting technology.
The virus began its march from a group of no-
news "alt.sex" on the calm morning of March 26-
ta. He came with a message that came
lal user of the AOL computer network
(America Online), registered under
named Scott Steinmetz. His login name
system (login name) was "skyroket".
FBI representatives immediately descended on
Scott, who turned out to be an engineer from Wa-
shingtona. The poor engineer reported that he
has nothing to do with writing
virus.
A NEW ROLL OF THE WAR AGAINST HACKERS
A rapidly growing problem in the world is
Computer crime is emerging. In 1998
universities, commercial firms were
about 130 million dollars were spent on protection
from hacker attacks. In this regard, Sandia
National Laboratory in New Mexico (USA) re-
I wanted to make a new onetechnological step in
fight against hackers. The laboratory has developed
chip that you can install under
your computer and stated that it was capable
repel even the most sophisticated attacks
burglars. Oddly enough, but under
microscope shows that this chip consists
from the huge number of mechanical
lobes. MECHANICAL!!! Used but
new technology called MEMS (Micro
Electro Mechanical System - microelectronic
nal mechanical system). These locks
open only if you enter
the code is correct. If someone entered
incorrect password, the system shuts down.
Thus, the hacker has 1 chance to
1000000 to try to login.
But the most amazing thing is that
a hacker has nothing to hack, since he himself
there is no software code. Only microscopy
ical mechanical devices. Inte-
I wonder how long this new product will last
the first report of a hack?
Presidential election results in hand
hackers!
It looks like the 2000 US elections will be
will take place using INTERNET.
Presidential candidates and other branches
authorities will be allowed to carry out preliminary
boroncampaign using web
sites, which is why they will be created
faceless multitude. But the most important thing is that
voting may be carried out -
on InterNet. Of course it will save
money for organizing polling stations
kov, since every American will be able to
give your voice while sitting at home in the comfort of your own
armchair, drinking coffee. But the hackers are already
hands are shaking, preparing for the GREAT hunt. And how
if only America would not become a hostage to the technical
th progress. Hackers already know how to control
secret military facilities. It's here
time to rule politics...
