Comcast DNS records hijacked

For a couple of hours yesterday, Comcast’s Internet Portal (comcast.net) had its DNS records hijacked and a defaced webComcast’s DNS records hijacked page was loading from third-party domains. Further investigation into this incident reveals a connection between the group responsible for Comcast’s DNS hijacking and previous incidents such as the defacements of Justin Timberlake, Hilary Duff and Tila Tequila’s MySpace profiles. Comcast.net wasn’t hacked, its DNS records got hijacked, so whenever someone visited comcast.net, the defaced page was loading from different servers. Let’s assess the incident by taking a look at the way Comcast’s DNS records changed yesterday, find out who’s behind it, and how a couple of hours later Comcast restored access to its domain.

Google launches online medical records service

The Tangled Web of Google Health - Online Medical Records Could Change Healthcare Receivables Strategies

Several prominent web cornerstone firms, like Google and Microsoft, are pushing a system that would allow consumers' access to Personal Health Records. The medical ARM industry could both benefit and suffer by this move.

Privacy Act of 1974: Implementation of Exemptions; US-VISIT Technical Reconciliation Analysis Classification System (TRACS)

SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security is concurrently establishing a new system of records pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 entitled the Technical Reconciliation Analysis Classification System (TRACS). This system of records will serve as an information management tool and be used to perform a range of information management and analytical functions to enhance the integrity of the United States' immigration system by detecting, deterring, and pursuing immigration fraud, and by identifying persons who pose a threat to national security and/or public safety. In this proposed rulemaking, the Department proposes to exempt portions of this system of records from one or more provisions of the Privacy Act because of criminal, civil, and administrative enforcement requirements.

Forensic Implications of Metadata in Electronic Files

JUNE 2008 - In this digital age, most business activities are transacted and recorded using networked information systems. Business and accounting records are prepared, reviewed, audited, and preserved in electronic form, commonly called electronically stored information (ESI). It is estimated that 94% to 99% of all business records are created and maintained in electronic form (National Law Journal, July 17, 2006) and most are never transformed into hard copy. A unique characteristic of electronic records is that they include hidden metadata that comprise extensive information about the creation of a file, including “MAC dates” (the dates a file was modified, accessed, and created), the date last printed, and, if deleted, when it was deleted and by whom.

Total Phone and Email Database Proposed In UK

mishmash writes "The Times of London is reporting a proposal for a massive government database holding details of all phone calls, emails, and time spent on the Internet. This is to be justified as being 'part of the fight against crime and terrorism.' Quoting: 'Internet service providers and telecoms companies would hand over the records to the Home Office under plans put forward by officials.' If you want to write to representatives to let them know your views, contact details are available at Write to Them." UK telecoms are already required to keep records of phone calls and text messages for 12 months, accessible by subpoena; the requirement is already slated to expand to records of Internet usage, emails, and VoIP. This new proposal aims to centralize all that information in a single database in the Home Office.

Records don't awe ageless Jayasuriya

The beauty about Sanath Jayasuriya, Virender Sehwag and Adam Gilchrist is that there are certain records they are the most likely to set - and they don't give a damn about it. For them the journey is the thing. They can't bear to take the joy out of their batting just because they are close to a record - in that sense, they derive a Keith Miller-like sense of pleasure from their cricket.
