Vitale faces a maximum sentence of 11 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 13.

Vitale told a confidential informant that he could send spam to nearly 300 million email users, while making it nearly impossible to trace the spam run’s origins. Along with alleged accomplice Todd Moeller, whose trial is pending, Vitale bragged that he was able to outflank around AOL’s anti-spam technology.

The informant offered Vitale and Moeller 50 percent of profits from an undisclosed product the pair was to advertise. The duo allegedly sent the junk email advertisements to 1.2 million AOL customers between Aug. 17 and Aug. 23, 2005, according to the U.S. attorney’s office.

Information security experts today said that Vitale’s conviction won’t have much of an impact in the fight against spam.

“Don’t hold your breath waiting for a patch that will protect you from the issues we’ll discuss below. It isn’t possible for Microsoft—or any software vendor—to “fix” them, because they result from the way computers work. But don’t abandon all hope yet—sound judgment is the key to protecting yourself against these issues, and if you keep them in mind, you can significantly improve the security of your systems.”
And here are the laws: (more…)

Some of them were still down in over the weekend. The average time to access those Web-sites was 2.5 sec, although 50% of the request failed. What is interesting from the political point of view the Estonian Minister of Justice, revealed in Estonian TV news an information that most of these DDoS attacks come from governmental IP addresses in Moscow. Hopefully the attacks will calm down soon.
As you can see DDoS attack is a major threat for the Internet Security. I will soon write something more about Denial of Service attacks. Now only link to Wikipedia [above].

Need for improvement:

The vulnerabilities which were included in the report clearly continue to rise in 2006. A total amount of 6,566 new vulnerabilities
is an increase of 41 percent from the previous year. There is obviously need for improved coding practices by software developers and
for strong vulnerability management practices among IT departments.

Beware of Tuesday!

A figure above shows disclosures by day of the week. As we can see Tuesday was the top day for new vulnerability disclosures in 2006. (more…)

The idea of the project is to identify spammers and the tools they use to obtain e-mail addresses from websites in the Internet.

“Using the Project Honey Pot system you can install addresses that are custom-tagged to the time and IP address of a visitor to your site. If one of these addresses begins receiving email we not only can tell that the messages are spam, but also the exact moment when the address was harvested and the IP address that gathered it.”

In general it increases security of information kept on our website. The mechanism is easy to install and maintain. It needs just couple of minutes to upload the script to the server and to put some links on the website. They should be invisible to normal users that browse website, but visible to the malicious robots.We will get several suggestions for formatting links that will be followed by most malicious bots, but will not be seen by human visitors. Some examples: (more…)
