In an effort to increase the awareness among the general populace and protest the inhumane treatment received by Kevin Mitnick, demonstrations are being organized across the country in front of federal courthouses on Friday, June 4th, at 2pm. Help is being requested from all interested persons to show up at the protest or to help organize one in your city.

The factual inaccuracies in this article are blatant. The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) plans to redesign its Non-Classified Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNet). While this article touts this 'redesign' as some sort of massive undertaking it sounds like they are just going to install a few firewalls. Oh, yeah, that will keep all the hackers out.

This Associated Press article seems to think that cyber crooks are easier to catch. Using the authors of Melissa and CIH as well as the man who posted a false news story causing fluctuations in a companies stock as examples for this claim. Unfortunately the author has little or no understanding of how the net actually works. Bad guys are not getting easier to catch there are just more stupid ones.

Roberta Gross, NASA's inspector general, told a Senate subcommittee that parts of NASA are failing to report cyber attacks and that some do not have proper security in place. She went on to claim that an internal NASA organization, NASA's Automated Systems Incident Response Capability, was not performing its job adequately.

Roberta Gross also is quoted in this article as saying that although the attacks where not reported her office learned of them from "other ways". Hmmmmm, wonder what that means.
