Hacker hits Georgia state database via hole in security software
Confidential information on more than 570,000 people exposed
When it comes to information security these days, most organizations remain in a tenuous position. Despite their best efforts, enterprises continue to be successfully ...

News Story by Jaikumar Vijayan

MARCH 30, 2006 (COMPUTERWORLD) - An unpatched flaw in a “widely used security program” was exploited by an unknown hacker to gain access to a Georgia Technology Authority (GTA) database containing confidential information on more than 570,000 members of the state’s pension plans.
The intrusion occurred sometime between Feb. 21 and Feb. 23 and involved a hacker who used “sophisticated hacking tools” to break through several layers of security after accessing the server hosting the database via the software flaw, said Joyce Goldberg, a GTA spokeswoman.

Goldberg refused to name the security vendor whose software was exploited, citing an ongoing investigation. She added, however, that the vulnerability exploited by the hacker had already been publicly disclosed by the vendor,

She needs to be careful.....

Muslim discontent awaits Rice tour Friday March 31, 04:51 AM

LONDON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will face protests and Muslim resentment over the Iraq war when she visits northern England this week.

Rice arrived on Thursday night at John Lennon Airport in Liverpool. The Stop The War coalition has said it will demonstrate against the Iraq war everywhere Rice goes.

She will travel to Foreign Secretary

Jack Straw's home town of Blackburn where 20 percent of the population is Muslim and speak on U.S. foreign policy in Blackburn Rovers' football stadium.
Rice had been scheduled to visit a mosque in the city until the invitation was withdrawn on Wednesday. No one at the Masjid al Hidayah mosque was available for comment but the Foreign Office confirmed the cancellation, saying it was a pity.

The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), the largest lobby group for the country's 1.6 million Muslims, said there was widespread opposition to U.S. foreign policy and Rice's visit.

"This particular U.S. administration has upset many Muslims in the UK and around the world ... so it is not particularly surprising that the visit to a Blackburn mosque has had to be cancelled," MCB spokesman Inayat Bunglawala said.

Her visit follows Straw's trip to Rice's home state of Alabama last October when the pair engaged in round of high profile photo opportunities.

Rice flew into Britain from Paris and, before that, Berlin, where she discussed Iran's nuclear programme with officials from Germany, France, Britain, Russia and China.

HISTORIC LINKS

The Stop The War coalition statement said the cancellation of the mosque trip was "evidence that the bulk of the community, Muslim and otherwise, are strongly against the visit".

While in Liverpool, Rice will attend a concert and visit the maritime museum, steeped in the history of travel and trade between Britain and the United States.

Both countries have made much of the historic links between the southern United States and northern England during the industrial revolution, when American cotton was imported through Liverpool to Blackburn, where it was woven into cloth.

At the height of the trade, there were 140 cotton mills in Blackburn, which has since been blighted by post-industrial malaise.

The two-day visit will also give Rice a chance to indulge her passion for The Beatles.

Not only will she visit the band's home city, she will also see the town which inspired one of their more curious lyrics.

"I heard the news today, oh boy. 4,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire," run the words from the song "A Day in the Life". John Lennon wrote the words after seeing a newspaper headline about the poor state of roads in Blackburn.

"I never understood that Beatles song," Rice said earlier this month when asked about her forthcoming trip. "Perhaps now I'll get the chance."

US charges 19 with selling smuggled cigarettes to aid Hezbollah Wed Mar 29, 7:03 PM ET



CHICAGO (AFP) - US prosecutors have charged 19 people with trafficking in smuggled cigarettes and other contraband and using some of the profits to aid designated terrorist organization Hezbollah.


The indictment, which was unsealed Wednesday following the arrest of nine people in Michigan and Canada, alleges that a Dearborn, Michigan man ran a multi-million dollar a year contraband cigarette trafficking organization which also dealt in stolen and counterfeit goods.

Some members of the enterprise charged a "Resistance Tax", a set amount over the black market price of contraband cigarettes, which their customers were told would go to Hezbollah, the justice department said in a statement.

The US has officially labelled the Lebanese Shiite militia Hezbollah a terror organization.

The traffickers also solicited money from cigarette customers for the orphans of martyrs program run by Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon to support the families of persons killed in Hezbollah suicide and other operations, the statement said.

"Fighting terrorism and keeping our citizens safe from its reach are the number one priorities of this office," US Attorney Stephen Murphy said in a statement.

"We will use all of the legal tools available to us to disrupt criminal activity that funds terrorist organizations."

The enterprise operated from Lebanon, Canada, China, Brazil, Paraguay and the United States, and its members were bound together by their shared Lebanese heritage, blood relations, allegiance to Hezbollah and "a common purpose of generating large sums of cash illegally," the indictment said.

The criminal organization operated between 1996 and 2002. One leader pleaded guilty in 2003 in federal district court in Detroit to racketeering and providing material support to Hezbollah.

He was not named in the latest indictment, which was returned by a federal grand jury on April 14, 2004 and was sealed pursuant until Wednesday.
