Milpitas May Make Use Of Old Earthlink Wi-Fi Network - Google to recreate Mountain View network in Milpitas

Milpitas, California is one of those small cities that was excited to get a citywide wireless network from Earthlink a couple of years back and then had to agree to a return of the network when Earthlink’s plans collapsed earlier this year. When the city accepted the network back, its plan was to use it solely as a municipal network. However, a new agreement is pending which would once again offer free wi-fi to about 7000 users per month. The agreement would allow for the formation of a collaborative group called Silicon Valley Unwired which includes the city, Google and I-Net Solutions (the group that provides Wi-Fi for Mountain View in cooperation with Google). This non-profit group would work together to offer the network’s service at no additional cost to the city using the infrastructure put into place by Earthlink.

Social networking sites a bonanza for spammers

Berlin - Web sites for career networking are proving a virtual bonanza for cybercriminals. As the users of corresponding social network platforms often reveal many personal details, the pages provide a rich source for spammers to gather data, says Katrin Alberts from the German Federal Agency for Security in Information Technology (BSI) in Berlin. The information included there is increasingly being used for personalized phishing attacks. Career networking sites also offer criminals the chance to address employees in a inconspicuous way which, performed adeptly, can cause them to reveal valuable corporate information. "For that reason we advise that social network users reveal as little personal data in their profiles as possible," Alberts says.

The Inside Story On the San Francisco Network Hijacking

snydeq writes "A source with direct knowledge of San Francisco's IT infrastructure has tipped off Paul Venezia to the real story behind Terry Childs' lockout of San Francisco's network, providing a detailed account of the city's FiberWAN, interdepartmental politics, and Terry Childs himself. Childs pleaded not guilty to charges of tampering yesterday and is being held on $5 million bail.
