Subject: Bank Regulator Says Banks Must Warn of ID Theft
The 5-0 vote by the agency's board of directors come in the wake of a
flurry of announcements of the theft of personal data affecting
hundreds of thousands of consumers.
The changes have won approval from the Office of the Comptroller of
the Currency and Office of Thrift Supervision, and still require
Federal Reserve Board approval. Fed spokesman Andrew Williams said the
board is considering the matter.
Banks will be required to notify customers when they learn of
unauthorized access to sensitive customer information and, after a
reasonable investigation, determine the information was misused or
there is a "reasonable possibility" of misuse.
The notices must describe the incidents, detail measures taken to
protect customers, provide phone numbers for further information,
remind customers to be vigilant and describe how customers may put
fraud alerts in their credit reports.
Sensitive customer information is defined as a customer's name,
address or phone number, in conjunction with his or her Social
Security or driver's license numbers; account, credit or debit card
numbers; or an identification number or password that would permit
access to an account.
It also includes any combination of data that would allow a thief to
access an account.
Obtaining Social Security numbers is often considered a key to
identity theft scams involving banks, which regularly use the numbers
as a unique way to identify customers.
Identity theft cost businesses $47.6 billion and consumers $5 billion
in 2002, Federal Trade Commission estimates show.
Financial institutions regularly targeted by scammers include
Citibank, Wells Fargo, Washington Mutual, U.S. Bank, SunTrust, and
Capital One.
A common form of identity theft involving banks is "phishing," derived
from the act of computer thieves who "fish" for private data.
Phishers typically tell prospective victims in e-mails that there is a
problem with their accounts, and ask them to verify personal
information through a link to a real-looking Web site. They e-mail
either known customers of a particular bank, or many people with the
hope of reaching actual bank customers.
Many phishing e-mails contain return addresses at sites such as
Yahoo.com, or typographical or grammatical errors.
Among companies to have reported thefts of customer data this year are
data brokers ChoicePoint Inc. and LexisNexis, a unit of Anglo-Dutch
Reed Elsevier (ELSN.AS) (REL.L), as well as DSW Shoe Warehouse, a unit
of Retail Ventures Inc.
Meanwhile, Bank of America Corp. the No. 3 U.S. bank, last month
said computer tapes with credit card records of more than 1 million
U.S. government employees were lost.

Subject: Piracy Row Widens After Swedish Internet Firm Raid
By Patrick Lannin
STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - A raid on a Swedish internet firm last week,
hailed by the entertainment industry as a blow against piracy of songs
and movies, has sparked a debate in the high-tech country over
confidentiality rights and file sharing.
Bailiffs and police raided Internet firm Bahnhof seeking pirate files
on servers. The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA),
representing major Hollywood studios, said digital film and music was
seized which would take 3-1/2 years to watch and listen to.
The raid was initiated by a group called the Antipirate Bureau, which
represents the music and film industry.
But now the investigators are being investigated. The government-owned
Data Inspection Office and the telecoms sector supervisor want to see
whether the Bureau broke confidentiality rules by obtaining the
Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of people it suspects of illegal file
sharing.
An IP address, which is given to computers for identification and data
traffic regulation on the Internet, enables investigators to identify
a computer and hence an individual.
But under Swedish law, access to IP addresses is strictly regulated.
"We are likely to open an investigation after Easter," said a
spokeswoman for the Data Inspection.
The National Post and Telecom agency said it would investigate whether
the IP addresses were obtained from telecoms operators, in which case
it would be the operators that would have to be investigated further.
The Antipirate Bureau, whose Web Site has been hacked, was not
available to comment.
One of its managers, lawyer Henrik Ponten, told newspaper Svenska
Dagbladet this week that the industry could not stand by "with its
arms folded while the sector is robbed."
MORE COUNTER ATTACKS
But high-profile figures from Sweden's tech world have also come
forward to attack the tactics of raiding Bahnhof.
Jonas Birgersson, who founded one of Sweden's most successful dotcom
consultancies and is still involved in the Internet via his Labs2
business, said the raid was heavyhanded and smacked of "1984" methods,
referring to the George Orwell novel about an imaginary police state.
He said the music business should go the other way, and offer films
and music at affordable prices to download.
"Why do we start using these risky methods? We think people would like
to pay if it was cheap enough," he told Reuters.
A group called the Pirate Bureau, which supports file sharing and
scaled-down copyright laws, said it estimated that around 100 million
downloads of movies are made a year.
The incident has sparked a wider debate about the legality of file
sharing.
In Sweden, it is legal to download copyrighted movie and music files,
but making them available for sharing is illegal. The legal loophole,
however, is about to be closed.
The Justice Ministry has just proposed a law to make both illegal,
bringing Sweden into line with the rest of the EU.
Still, without power to identify IP addresses, that new law may not
help the entertainment industry.
The MPAA says the film industry loses $3.5 billion a year to
videotapes and DVDs sold on the black market, but it has no estimate
for how much Internet piracy costs the industry.

Subject: What to Expect of 'Spamalot'? A Lot of Spam
By DAVID F. GALLAGHER
"Spamalot" fans who signed up for a newsletter on the Broadway
musical's official Web site may end up getting, well, spammed a lot.
"Movin' Out" devotees may have the same problem. A security glitch --
now fixed -- exposed the names and postal and e-mail addresses of more
than 31,000 people to savvy computer users.
Up until Thursday evening, when a reporter from The New York Times
pointed out the problem to the Web sites' developer, visiting a
specific address on the shows' sites produced a long page with
mailing-list data. The security hole was not obvious to casual Web
surfers because the address was buried in the site's code. But it
could have been discovered by someone deliberately seeking the list
data, or by a kind of program used by spammers to scour the Web for
new e-mail addresses to bombard.

Subject: Growth of Wireless Internet Opens New Path for Thieves
By SETH SCHIESEL
March 19, 2005
The spread of the wireless data technology known as Wi-Fi has reshaped
the way millions of Americans go online, letting them tap into
high-speed Internet connections effortlessly at home and in many
public places.
But every convenience has its cost. Federal and state law enforcement
officials say sophisticated criminals have begun to use the unsecured
Wi-Fi networks of unsuspecting consumers and businesses to help cover
their tracks in cyberspace.
In the wired world, it was often difficult for lawbreakers to make
themselves untraceable on the Internet. In the wireless world, with
scores of open Wi-Fi networks in some neighborhoods, it could hardly
be easier.
Law enforcement officials warn that such connections are being
commandeered for child pornography, fraud, death threats and identity
and credit card theft.

Subject: Dangling Broadband From the Phone Stick
By MATT RICHTEL
SAN FRANCISCO, March 18 - To gauge the potential consumer impact of
the consolidation sweeping the telephone industry, look no further
than the silver-toned plastic phone gathering dust on the desk in
Justin Martikovic's studio apartment.
Mr. Martikovic, 30, a junior architect who relies on a cellphone for
his normal calling, says he never uses the desk phone -- but he pays
$360 a year to keep it hooked up.
"I have to pay for a service I'm never using," he said.
He has no choice. His telephone company, SBC Communications, will not
sell him high-speed Internet access unless he buys the phone service,
too. That puts him in the same bind as many people around the country
who want high-speed, or broadband, Internet access but no longer need
a conventional telephone. Right now, their phone companies tend to
have a "take it or leave it" attitude.
Consumers "are not forced to go with SBC," said Michael Coe, a company
spokesman. "If they just want a broadband connection, I'd recommend
they look around for people who can provide just a broadband
connection."
The nation's other two largest phone companies, Verizon Communications
and BellSouth, have similar policies: broadband service is available
only as a bundle with phone service.
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/19/technology/19phone.html?ex=1268888400&en=b8329ca7e98c5ee3&ei=5090
[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: And so it is here in Independence, KS
also. SBC's attitude is "take us as is ... no phone service, then no
high speed internet." The reason that backfired on them around here is
due to services like Cable One, we get high speed internet anyway. To
show you how sleazy SBC has gotten, the latest offer in the US Mail to
get me back now offers monthly service (full service package) for
_$2.95_ per month (that's two dollars, ninety five cents) per month
for one year. It has been said that in long ago times, the Bell tactic
for getting rid of their competitors -- who could not afford such
things -- was if neccessary, *give away their service* until the
competitors gave up and went away. Are they going to start that again
in places like Kansas, where Prairie Stream is fully licensed to do
business state-wide, and gradually getting weaned off of Southwestern
Bell? SBC for a long time was threatening to get rid of UNE-P but its
not at all certain that will work either. So, they fall back on the
old 'give it away until we don't have any competition' routine when
they have to. PAT]

Computer breach prompts BC to limit Social Security data
By Hiawatha Bray, Globe Staff | March 18, 2005
While Boston College warns 120,000 alumni that their Social Security
numbers may have been stolen by Internet thieves, computer
administrators at other Boston-area colleges say they long ago took
steps to reduce the threat.
James Stone, director of consulting services for the Office of
Information Technology at Boston University, said his school and many
others throughout the United States once routinely used Social
Security numbers for identification on internal files and documents.
But by the late 1990s, BU officials began to doubt the wisdom of this
approach.

Actually, they don't HAVE to. GM owns a significant stake in XM, and I
beleive they have one or two people on their board.
And the current status quo is doing quite well. With GM, Honda and a
few other car manufacturers, a satellite radio option exists for a
number of models as an option package. If someone wants it, they can
add the option in, and not only do they get a radio, but the first
year of service is built in to the purchase price of the car (exactly
the same model as OnStar). Once the subscriber is "hooked," they're
likely (as has proven true in previous SEC filings) to pay for the
service once the first year is up.
Not everyone opts for this though. Personally, I think GM needs to
reduce the size and improve the appearance of their satellite radio
antenna. It currently looks like a big ugly black wart on the roof of
the car, regardless of the car's paint color, and usually the
placement isn't even centered, so anyone who is interested in
preserving the lines and look of the vehicle will have issue with it.
On the other hand, the aftermarket satellite radio systems have a tiny
magnet mount antenna no larger than a postage stamp, and you can get
creative as to where you place it. I opted for aftermarket, placed
the antenna on the trunk lid where it's not too distracting, and got
the added bonus of having a removable unit that can be taken and used
indoors as well.

This may have been another reason the FCC dropped Channel 1: too much
interference. Back in the 50s, during the sunspot peak, there were a LOT of
instances of some Channel 2 in Texas wiping out Channel 2 in NY. It
happened, IIRC, mostly on Channel 2, and rarely on Channel 4. Channel 1
would have been worse.

The very high power of TV stations, however well filtered, would have
caused problems. Nearbly broadcast towers can cause serious problems
far outside their band, even for good receivers.

From: Michael D. Sullivan <userid@camsul.example.invalid>
Subject: Re: What Happened To Channel 1?
Date: Sat, 19 Mar 2005 08:02:17 GMT
A simpler explanation for the use of channel numbers for TV and
frequencies for FM and AM radio is that (1) AM radio operated in a
contiguous band covered by an analog variable tuning capacitor and
never had separate channel numbers, so (2) people were used to tuning
in radio stations by frequency on a dial, and (3) FM radio likewise
was in a contiguous band covered by a an analog variable tuning
capacitor, so people were comfortable tuning in the station by
frequency.
Television, on tho other hand, started out in two discontiguous VHF
bands, with somewhat variable spacing between channels and a need for
precise tuning, and tuning in on a single band by twiddling an analog
variable tuning capacitor to the right frequency would have been
difficult. This tuning method was used on some early TVs; I don't know
whether they were tuned by numeric frequency or by channel number, but
it would not have been very convenient. The TV industry instead
standardized on TV tuners that had 12 discrete fixed settings, pre-tuned
to channels 2-13, with a fine tuning control that allowed one to tune
the frequency higher or lower to account for offsets. Later on, tuners
had separate fine-tuners for each channel so one wouldn't need to retune
when switching from station to station. Given the move to fixed-
position tuning, the use of "digital" numbering of channels instead of
analog-like frequency designations was an obvious simplification.
When UHF was added, it used a single contiguous band, and most sets
initially required a separate converter box, which had an analog-style
variable tuning capacitor that required careful attention to get the
station one wanted (the pointer is between 30 and 40, is that channel 33
or 36?), but the tradition of using channel numbers instead of
frequencies prevailed due to the established TV tradition. Eventually,
TVs incorporated the analog-style continuously variable UHF tuner and
later adopted a fixed-position tuner for UHF. Modern technologies,
including Phase Locked Loop tuning and digital input and display, have
relegated the dual-dial tuner and the fine tuning control to the dustbin
of history.

Replace "example.invalid" with ".com".
[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: This is true, however if you look at
some FCC documents on FM radio frequency allocations (for example,
documents on which frequencies are available on which places for
'low power' FM). All those documents show both 'frequency' and
'channel number' for the spaces between 87.6 FM and 108.1 FM. I
think they have the 'channels' beginning at 201 and numbering
upward. PAT]
