Cyber Bad Guys Not After Big Guns Anymore
By Ron Meyran
Understanding they can make a lot of money from cybercrime, hackers are now offering their services for rent. Organized crime now controls and operates the majority of cyber crime activities on the Internet. The prime target is of course anyone who has processes or stores money or confidential information online.
In the past, attackers would privately target an organization, and in case of strong security defenses, would simply move to the next organization in line. Now we see that organized crime places specific organizations under their radar and attack them systematically with an army of zombie computers that no organization can handle with its power.
Cybercrime is now based on a new type of attack - non-vulnerability-based attacks. These attacks do not exploit known application vulnerabilities, but rather use application transactions for malicious activity, so they go undetected by standard network security tools. A few examples of non-vulnerability based attacks include brute force attacks aiming to defeat a business authentication scheme; HTTP page floods targeting application server resources; and web application hacking that scans a Web site looking for vulnerable pages.

FBI's Most Wanted Lists 1st Domestic Terror Suspect;
Animal Rights Activist Sought In Bombings
The FBI on Tuesday will for the first time add the name of a domestic-terrorism suspect to its list of Most Wanted Terrorists, a post-Sept. 11 creation that until now has included only suspected Islamist terrorists, a law enforcement official told The Washington Times. Daniel Andreas San Diego, a 31-year-old animal rights activist, is wanted in connection with the 2003 bombings of two companies in the San Francisco Bay Area linked to an animal-testing laboratory.

45 Minutes of Hell; When a Lone Armed Jamaican Stormed
Aboard a CanJet Flight, Passengers Feared They Were to be Victims of a 9/11-Style Attack
A short, boring pit stop on the tarmac was all it was supposed to be for the passengers of CanJet flight 918 -- drop off some folks and then take off for the resorts of Cuba. At least two wedding parties on the plane were headed for the neighbouring island. Bride-to-be Susan Euloth of Halifax kept her wedding dress within comforting reach in the cabin. Suzanne Ferguson had 19 wedding-goers in tow from New Brunswick.

Local Officials Share How Columbine Changed School Security
It used to be that a person could stroll into a school to pick up his or her child, volunteer or visit a classroom. The Columbine massacre was the driving force to change that leisurely approach to school security.

The Integrator Relationship
It's no longer "come and go" for systems integrators; it's now partnerships with enterprise security leaders that go beyond technology to business and risk management goals.
The combination of more encompassing risk management needs, especially in this year's economic environment, and more complex security technologies have driven security executives and their integrators closer together for a longer period of time.

 State of the Market:
Access Control
Although the security business is holding up better than other parts of the economy today, one area that is more challenged than others is access control. Five out of six security systems integrators interviewed for this article say the number of new access control installations they are doing today is the same or lower than the number of new installations they were doing a year ago. That's a bit more pessimistic than the results published in SDM's earlier State of the Market articles on the intrusion alarm systems market and the video surveillance market.
