Debit Card fees; bankers at the board table again

Could debit cards be the next cash cow for banks? If banks have their way, they will.

Americans have conducted more transactions and spent more money using debit cards than credit cards this year -- the first time that's ever happened.

Next year, consumers are expected to spend $1.64 trillion with their debit cards, nearly two-thirds more than in 2006, according to the payments industry trade publication The Nilson Report.

Let's get rid of some usernames and passwords

Usernames and passwords annoy me. Expert advice says to have a different username and password for various services, but the amount of subscriptions, email accounts, social networks and other sites we subscribe to can run into the dozens, if not hundreds.

Password managers help, and single sign-on solutions for an array of sites are useful, and devices like smart cards and biometric devices save us remembering a whole array of combinations. But what if you’re away from your primary computer? You still need to remember all of the sequences and mishmashes of letters and numbers whether you like it or not.

Cloud services will have risks

Businesses should use caution when procuring cloud services, according to the European agency charged with promoting IT security good practice.

The European Network and Information Security Agency (Enisa) on Friday published advice and a checklist for organisations thinking of jumping into the cloud, outlining the benefits and risks of using online service provision.

Primarily, organizations should beware of lock-in to cloud services, Enisa told ZDNet UK on Friday. "There is very little in the way of tools and standards for exporting data from one provider to another," said Enisa network security expert Giles Hogben. "That's one of the biggest risks."

Enisa risk management expert Daniele Catteddu told ZDNet UK that governance issues were also a major risk. "There are client code issues like patching, security testing, and policy enforcement," he said.

Arrests made in Zeus Trojan

The UK Metropolitan Police Central e-Crime Unit made two arrests earlier this month for suspected use of the Zeus Trojan.

A man and a woman, both 20, were apprehended in Manchester on 3 November in Europe's first arrests with regard to Zeus, according to a Met Police statement on Wednesday.

A Met Police spokesperson told ZDNet UK on Thursday that a man and a woman had been arrested for suspected criminal distribution of the Trojan, which is also known as Zbot.

The two have not yet been formally charged, said the spokesperson, who added that they have been given police bail while the investigation continues.

Firm investigates banned Xboxes from Live Service

Following the decision by Xbox 360 console maker Microsoft to ban users from the Xbox Live service, intellectual property law firm AbingtonIP began conducting an investigation into Microsoft’s business practices regarding the ban. “Microsoft has chosen to use one of the most indiscriminate "weapons" in its arsenal in an effort to combat piracy -- as a result, use of this "weapon" has resulted in a great deal of collateral damage -- many people were affected who had nothing to do with piracy,” the firm states on its Web site. “Furthermore, Xbox console functions that have nothing to do with piracy were also affected or disabled. Details aside, Microsoft's bans could (and should) have been more measured.” AbigntonIP posted a forum to allow Xbox 360 owners who felt their account had been unfairly terminated to voice their objections, first noticed by the gaming blog Inc Gamers.

“As has been reported widely in the media, tens of thousands of Xbox owners have had their modified Xbox consoles banned from Microsoft's online gaming service Xbox Live. Although modification of Xbox consoles is “arguably” against the terms of use for Xbox/Xbox Live, Microsoft "conveniently" timed the Xbox console ban to coincide with the release of the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 game and less than two months after the release of the very popular Halo 3: ODST game,” the firm charges. “This ‘convenient’ timing may have resulted in more Xbox Live subscription revenues for Microsoft than it would have generated had these Xbox console bans taken place at some time before the release of [these games]. Additionally, sales of both Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Halo 3: ODST would likely have been greatly diminished had the Xbox console ban occurred prior to the release of these games.”


Last week Microsoft banned up to 1 million consoles from the community online gaming service Xbox Live after suspecting the devices had been “modded”, or altered to allow downloads of pirated software, leading to a flurry of modded consoles for sale on eBay and Craigslist. The report came amid the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, one of the most highly anticipated game titles of the year. On November 4, Microsoft’s director of programming for the company’s gaming network Xbox Live, Larry 'Major Nelson' Hryb, wrote a blog post acknowledging Microsoft has been actively banning modified Xbox 360 consoles that are able to play pirated games.


“Our commitment to combat piracy and support safer and more secure gameplay for the more than 20 million members of our Xbox Live community remains a top priority,” he wrote. “All consumers should know that piracy is illegal, and that modifying their Xbox 360 console to play pirated discs, violates the Xbox Live terms of use, will void their warranty and result in a ban from Xbox Live.”

Federal employees maybe prohibited from file sharing

Lawmakers want to restrict use of 'peer-to-peer' after disclosure of ethics committee report
Stung by an embarrassing electronic leak last month revealing ethics investigations into dozens of lawmakers, Congress moved Tuesday to prohibit federal employees from using the same type of Internet file-sharing software blamed for the disclosure.

The Secure Federal File Sharing Act, introduced in the House, would bar government employees and contractors from downloading, installing or using so-called peer-to-peer file sharing software such as Limewire without official approval. The bill also would require the White House to develop rules for employees and contractors working on home or personal computers.

The software is popular among computer users trading music, movies and other files over the Internet, often in violation of copyright owners. The underpinning technology also makes other information on a person's computer vulnerable to being downloaded, especially if the software isn't configured properly.

Microsoft denies back door

Microsoft today denied that it has built a backdoor into Windows 7, a concern that surfaced yesterday after a senior National Security Agency (NSA) official testified before Congress that the agency had worked on the operating system.

"Microsoft has not and will not put 'backdoors' into Windows," a company spokeswoman said, reacting to a Computerworld story Wednesday.

On Monday, Richard Schaeffer, the NSA's information assurance director, told the Senate's Subcommittee on Terrorism and Homeland Security that the agency had partnered with the developer during the creation of Windows 7 "to enhance Microsoft's operating system security guide."

Echoing earlier concerns, Marc Rotenberg, the executive director of the Electronics Privacy Information Center (EPIC), questioned the wisdom of letting the NSA participate in OS development. "The key problem is that NSA has a dual mission, COMPUSEC, computer security, now called cyber security, and SIGINT, signals intelligence, in other words surveillance," Rotenberg said in an e-mail.

Yesterday, he raised the issue, which isn't new, of whether the NSA pressures companies like Microsoft to craft so-called "backdoors" into their code that would let the agency track users and intercept users' communications. Rotenberg called it an "obvious concern," and added that it might be difficult for major software makers to turn down NSA "suggestions" because the U.S. federal government is an important customer.

Today's categorical denial by Microsoft was accompanied by further explanation of exactly how the NSA participated in the making of Windows 7. "The work being discussed here is purely in conjunction with our Security Compliance Management Toolkit," said the spokeswoman.

The bad Boss

My boss has a fiery temper that seems to me and my peers completely inappropriate for a professional manager. He's a good pal of his boss, who doesn't seem inclined to address this problem. What can we do? Unfortunately, there generally isn't much a person in your situation can do -- beyond reporting this as the reason for your departure during your exit interview. Your best option will probably be to update your résumé, fine-tune your skills (if necessary) and find another position under a manager you enjoy working with. If you stay in IT long enough, you'll most likely have an opportunity to lead others yourself someday. The silver lining of your current situation is the perspective you've gained on the kind of manager you don't want to be.

What are the top two or three technical skills that would help someone remain employed in the IT profession over the next few years? Obviously, the response to this question will vary depending upon the employers and workforce sectors unique to a particular area. Nevertheless, generally speaking, information assurance/digital forensics skills (e.g., system auditing and incident response) are and will be among the most in-demand for the foreseeable future.

Mobile ads

If a mobile ad dropped in the forest, would anyone care? Some would, but most wouldn't. According to market research firm Parks Associates, 38 percent of consumers don't want to see mobile ads for any reason, according to MediaPost.

But about the same number (37 percent) said they don't care one way or the other, while 25 percent are open to them. For a separate question, about 20 percent of users don't remember even seeing a mobile ad in the past year.

The mobile ad industry, incidentally, is taking all of this as a good thing: "I think if anything it's a positive thing because you don't have people saying 'no.'" Maybe we should all say "no" louder and more strongly. But I have a feeling it won't do much good at this point.

Cisco launches new security alert app

Cisco is offering a free iPhone app that will allow people to get customized alerts on new security threats and other information for safe web browsing.

The app, which will be available on Friday in the Apple iTunes store, provides information about new malware signatures, bulletins for how to mitigate against threats, ways to see if particular websites are compromised, as well as links to podcasts and videos.

The Cisco SIO To Go iPhone app gets its information from the company's Security Intelligence Operations (SIO) system which gathers information in real time from 700,000 sensors located at customer sites, ISPs and other sites around the world. The data from the disparate sources allows Cisco engineers to do threat correlation to detect internet attacks and spam campaigns.
