Anon threatens to bomb anti-piracy group

The anti-piracy group CIAPC (Copyright, Information and Anti-Piracy Centre) on Tuesday asked police to investigate a bomb threat it received via email signed by the hacker group Anonymous. The threat follows a recent court-ordered ban on access to The Pirate Bay torrent site by Elisa and Saunalahti internet customers.

The email detailed how a bomb attack would be made on CIAPC’s office this week.

Antti Kotilainen, who heads up the association, said he takes the threat seriously.

CIAPC and the Finnish branch of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, IFPI Finland, have also asked police to investigate denial-of-service attacks on their websites.

On Monday, Helsinki District Court ordered internet service providers Elisa and Saunalahti to block access to The Pirate Bay, where users exchange computer files, including copyrighted films and music.

The music industry is now seeking similar Pirate Bay blocks for Sonera and DNA internet customers.

"If IFPI gets to block access for TeliaSonera & DNA, We'll tear it down. We'll make it crumble," tweeted AnonFinland, Finnish activists of the group Anonymous early Wednesday.

Internetproviders moeten Pirate Bay blokkeren

quote:
Hackers 'Anonymous' nemen Brein op de korrel: 'Te wapen!'

De internetgroep Anonymous roept op om de auteursrechtenorganisatie Brein massaal te gaan faxen, of anders van binnenuit te infiltreren. 'Ze zoeken nog een sofware-ontwikkelaar'. Volgens Anonymous is Brein verwikkeld in een 'groot auteursrechtenschandaal' in Nederland.

Anonymous doelt op het feit dat Brein vindt dat internetproviders Ziggo en XS4ALL de toegang tot de downloadsite moeten blokkeren. De stichting kreeg daarin vandaag gelijk van de rechtbank in Den Haag. 'Na censuur in België en onlangs nog in Finland, kan nu de anti-piraterijlobby in Nederland domeinen en IP-adressen van The Pirate Bay blokkeren', aldus de hackers. 'Brein kan zelfs kiezen welke IP-adressen gecensureerd moeten worden. Anonymous zal niet stilzitten terwijl Brein delen van ons internet platlegt. Te wapen!'

Brein lijkt nog niet direct te hoeven vrezen voor een fax-bombardement. Want in plaats van het faxadres van de Stichting Brein in Hoofddorp, hebben de hackers per abuis het faxnummer van het bedrijf Brein BV in Haaksbergen geplaatst.

Finland
Twee Finse auteursrechtenorganisaties werden gisteren al het slachtoffer van hackers van Anonymous, nadat een rechter op hun verzoek The Pirate Bay liet blokkeren bij de providers Elisa en Saunalahti. Die hebben naar schatting gezamelijk 2,2 miljoen klanten.

In een reactie op het vonnis had Anonymous een zogenoemde distributed denial-of-service (ddos)-aanval gelanceerd, waarbij het netwerk wordt platgelegd doordat er met veel computers tegelijk informatie naartoe wordt gestuurd.

Serieus
Hoe serieus het dreigement aan Brein moet worden genomen, is echter moeilijk te zeggen. Achter anonymous schuilt namelijk geen vaste hackersgroep, maar doorgaans juist losstaande groepen van internetactivisten.

Het is overigens niet de eerste keer dat Anonymous Brein op de korrel neemt. In mei vorig jaar claimden leden van Anonymous de verantwoordelijkheid voor een ddos-aanval op de website van de stichting Brein.

"Our systems were schredded"

Stratfor back online after cyberhack

LONDON (AP) — Global intelligence analysis firm Stratfor has relaunched its website after hackers brought down its servers and stole thousands of credit card numbers and other personal information belonging to its customers.

Chief Executive George Friedman acknowledged for the first time Wednesday that the company had not encrypted customer information and said this decision had embarrassed the company.

Loose-knit hacking collective Anonymous, which claimed responsibility for the attack over the Christmas holidays, had said it was able to get the details in part because Stratfor didn't bother encrypting them.

"It was a truly unforgivable failure and I feel awful about it," Friedman told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. "Sometimes in rapid growth, you make a mistake. That's not an excuse, that's not a justification ... It's an explanation."

Stratfor had previously declined to say if the information was left unencrypted. Members of Anonymous have said it was targeting companies "that play fast and loose with their customers' private and sensitive information."

The company said Wednesday that it was moving its entire e-commerce process to a third-party system, which will eliminate the need to store credit information.

Friedman also revealed that the company was targeted more than once by hackers and had known for some time about a data breach.

He said he was first alerted to a website hack in early December — weeks before Anonymous took to Twitter to boast of bringing down the website and stealing a stash of credit card numbers, emails and other data from the company.

The hackers said then that their goal was to use the stolen credit information to donate to charities at Christmas, and some victims confirmed unauthorized transactions were made from their credit accounts.

Austin, Texas-based Stratfor is a subscription-based publisher providing political, economic and military analysis to help customers reduce risk. It charges subscribers for its reports and analysis, delivered through the web, emails and videos.

On Tuesday, Friedman said he had met with an FBI agent in early December after being informed by the company's vice president of intelligence that customers' credit card numbers had been stolen.

He said he had felt torn over the need to protect and personally inform customers at the time, but that the FBI was setting the rules and wanted to conduct its investigation without tipping the hackers off.

"It was very important to them that the criminals not know the extent to which we had knowledge of the damage," Friedman explained, saying the FBI had assured him that it had informed credit card companies about compromised cards.

"We were caught between a very difficult situation where the FBI had control of the investigation and expected certain care in that investigation — and the need to protect our customers," said Friedman. "What little we could do, we did."

Still, he said he was under "no illusion" that the breach would be exposed.

"We knew our reputation would be damaged by the revelation, all the more so because we had not encrypted the credit card files," Friedman said in a note to subscribers announcing the website's relaunch.

But he told the AP that subscribers have stood by the company and subscriptions have held up in light of the attack.

"Our customers are primarily focused on the criminals," he said. "Some customers have been critical, but the primary theme isn't that 'you didn't know how to lock the door,' but 'locked or not, what are these people doing coming in?'"

While dismayed over stolen emails in the previous breach, Friedman said he was "stunned" to learn that the company's servers were "effectively destroyed" in another hack on Dec. 24.

"I was absolutely unprepared for their attempt to destroy us," Friedman said, describing how hackers took full control of the servers, overrode the systems and made recovery "just about impossible."

"Our systems were shredded," he explained. "The destruction of our servers and our backups... was clearly intended to take us offline and silence us."

Stratfor said it was continuing to cooperate with an FBI investigation into the attack.

2011: The Year Anonymous Took On Cops, Dictators and Existential Dread

Inclusief verslag van de start van de Arabische Lente:

quote:
Mohamed Bouazizi was a produce vendor in the provincial town of Sidi Bouzid in Tunisia. He was always meant to be a little person in the world, whose life and death could never matter. You were never meant to hear of him. But for no explicable reason, that changed on Dec. 17, 2010. His produce cart was seized by police, and he was beaten. Less than an hour later, he stood on the street doused in paint thinner, screamed “How do you expect me to make a living?” and let a lit match drop.

Bouazizi was at the end of his ability to endure, silently, the pain and abuse that had been the way life worked. But it turned out so was Tunisia, and the whole Middle East.

Within hours protests against the systemic corruption that had driven Bouazizi to self-immolation filled the streets of Sidi Bouzid, and over the next two weeks spread like fire over Tunisia.

It was Jan. 2, 2011. Ben Ali would leave power in 12 days, but no one knew that.

“There were two different posts in channel #operationpayback. First one about some law about to pass in Hungary, second one about a Tunisia problem. For some reason I paid attention to the Tunisian one, and it seems other people did too,” said an anon who participated in OpTunisia. It was a claim that Tunisian dictator Ben Ali was censoring Wikileaks cables related to Tunisia. Rumors emerged about Bouazizi as well, that he was a computer science student (he wasn’t), that he had immolated himself to protest police corruption (he had), and so on.

A few people formed #optunisia on IRC and started talking about what to do. The OpTunisia anon who spoke with Wired.com didn’t think either the op or the revolution had a chance.

“I saw nobody cared about those people, because it wasn’t a big country. It was like, ‘Fuck this is impossible…. Let’s fucking do it!’” the anon wrote in an online chat.

Over the next couple of weeks the small group DDoSed and defaced Tunisian government websites and passed media and news reports about the Tunisian uprising in and out of the country.

“We also distributed a care package containing stuff to workaround privacy (restrictions in Tunisia), including a Greasemonkey script to avoid proxy interception by the Tunisian government on Facebook users,” said the anon. (Greasemonkey scripts are powerful browser plug-ins).

Within that digital care package was a message to the people of Tunisia from Anonymous: “This is *your* revolution. It will neither be Twittered nor televised or [sic] IRC’ed. You *must* hit the streets or you *will* loose [sic] the fight. Always stay safe, once you got [sic] arrested you cannot do anything for yourself or your people. Your government *is* watching you.”

SOPA protest re-ignited with Reddit blackout, Wikipedia may join

(CBS) - The popular link-sharing community Reddit plans a site black out on Jan. 18 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. to protest the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and its sister bill the Protect IP Act (PIPA).

Reddit's co-founder Alexis Ohanian has been one of the most outspoken leaders of the movement against SOPA and PIPA.

"Instead of the normal glorious, user-curated chaos of reddit, we will be displaying a simple message about how the PIPA/SOPA legislation would shut down sites like reddit, link to resources to learn more, and suggest ways to take action," the site admin's wrote in a blog post.

Along with the protest message, the site will stream Ohanian testifying at a hearing of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Shutting down the Reddit for 12-hours will no doubt send users into withdrawals. The site has a reputation for being highly engaging and addictive. Users have lamented over spending hours a day on the site. Not that we would know.

While Reddit hasn't hit the mainstream, like Facebook or Twitter, its influence is nothing to scoff at. The site recently reported hitting over 2 billion page views and more than 34 million unique visitors at the close of 2011.

Ohanian and his Reddit army aren't the only ones fighting SOPA and PIPA. Tech heavyweights, like Google, Facebook and Twitter have banned together and put out a joint statement in opposition of SOPA.

Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales says he's behind Reddit's efforts and would like to coordinate with them.

"I'm all in favor of it, and I think it would be great if we could act quickly to coordinate with Reddit," Wales posted in a discussion today on his personal Wikipedia page. "I'd like to talk to our government affairs advisor to see if they agree on this as useful timing, but assuming that's a greenlight, I think that matching what Reddit does (but in our own way of course) per the emerging consensus on how to do it, is a good idea."

This isn't the first time Wales has made moves against SOPA. After a Reddit thread pointed out that domain registrar GoDaddy was not only for the bill, but exempt from it, Wales announced that all Wikipedia sites would be switching registrars in protest.

Forbes is claiming that Facebook and Google must join the protest for greater impact.

"Facebook and Google going offline would undoubtedly be the biggest tech story of the day, week, month, or possibly the year," claims Forbes contributor Paul Tassi.

He's right. It would be a jaw-dropping day in tech if all of the sites we rely on went dark in solidarity against these bills.

SOPA is intended to curb the illegal download of copyrighted materials from foreign "rogue" sites, like The Pirate Bay. There is already legislation that provides some protection for copyrighted material, like the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which requires companies to remove copyrighted content "in good faith."

Worst-case scenarios are being debated. The Electronic Frontier Foundation speculates, "Instead of complying with the DMCA, a copyright owner may now be able to use these new provisions to effectively shut down a site by cutting off access to its domain name, its search engine hits, its ads, and its other financing even if the safe harbors would apply."

Hackers willen lekken anoniem kunnen melden

Nederlandse hackers werken aan de oprichting van een eigen platform dat hun de mogelijkheid moet bieden anoniem lekken te melden aan bedrijven en overheden. Het platform, met de werktitel Hacker-leaks, is volgens hen nodig omdat hackers die te goeder trouw lekken opsporen en melden nu nog vaak vervolgd worden voor computervredebreuk.

Dat zegt Koen Martens, woordvoerder van een een groot aantal hackers in Nederland. Om beveiligingslekken te kunnen aantonen, moeten hackers vaak inbreken op computers en daarmee overtreden ze de wet. Onlangs nog deed het Utrechtse poppodium Tivoli aangifte tegen de hacker die zich meldde nadat hij een lek in de website van Tivoli had blootgelegd. 'Zolang dat zo is, moeten wij een andere manier verzinnen om anoniem te kunnen werken', aldus Martens.

Vorig jaar deed de PvdA al een voorstel om een klokkenluidersregeling in het leven te roepen voor zogenaamde white hat-hackers. Dat zijn hackers die te goeder trouw lekken aantonen.

Hoewel het erop leek dat er een Kamermeerderheid voor zo'n regeling was, is er sindsdien op dat vlak niets meer gebeurd. Volgens kenners zitten er erg veel haken en ogen aan een dergelijke regeling.

Zelf initiatief
Mede om die reden nemen de hackers nu het initiatief in eigen hand. Volgens Martens willen ze de nieuwe organisatie 'los van de overheid oprichten maar uiteindelijk wel in samenwerking met hen.'

De Nationaal Coördinator Terrorismebestrijding en Veiligheid (NCTv), Erik Akerboom, ziet wel iets in dat soort samenwerking. Akerboom, die vandaag het Nationaal Cyber Security Centrum (NCSC) opent, zegt daarover: 'We moeten hackers geen vrijbrief geven om lekker aan de slag te gaan, maar als zij op verantwoorde wijze proberen problemen aan de kaak te stellen, vind ik dat wij hen daarin moeten ondersteunen.'

Ook hoogleraar computerbeveiliging Bart Jacobs van de Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen denkt dat de overheid meer gebruik moet gaan maken van de kennis en kunde van hackers dan tot nu toe gebeurt.

'Hoe je het precies invult, is best lastig, maar ik denk dat het Nationaal Cyber Security Centrum een goede buffer zou kunnen vormen tussen die mensen en de overheid. Ik denk dat zij veel waardevolle informatie kunnen verschaffen.'

Politie scant sociale media op 'verdachte info'

De KLPD heeft een systeem aangeschaft om verdachte informatie van openbare bronnen te verzamelen. De regio Twente gaat er als eerste mee aan de slag.

Het systeem CY-Humint (Cyber Human Intelligence) wordt geleverd door Athena GS3 Security Implementations Ltd in Holon Industrial Zone in Israël. Athena is onderdeel van de grote leverancier van infrastructuur- en transportsystemen Mer Group, in Nederland aanwezig met Cellular Infrastructure BV. Vragen van Webwereld worden vanuit Israël per e-mail beantwoord door Omer Laviv, chief executive officer van Athena.


Openbare bronnen

Over CY-Humint zegt Laviv: "Het is bedoeld om wethandhavende instanties te voorzien van vroege waarschuwingen, die worden gebaseerd op 'deep-web' activiteiten." Het is ontwikkeld in Israëlische defensiekringen met behulp van specialisten van de geheime dienst Mossad en nu is het beschikbaar voor export. Welke landen het systeem in gebruik hebben wil Laviv niet kwijt.

De documentatie van Athena is duidelijk over de redenen van het systeem: "Gebeurtenissen als de 'Arabische Lente', de Londense rellen en de maatschappelijke onrust over de hele wereld hebben onomstotelijk aangetoond dat de cyberspace is uitgegroeid tot een favoriete plaats voor aanzetten tot en het coördineren van terrorisme en criminaliteit, maar ook in de civiele onrust."

Volgens Laviv wordt het speuren in ieder geval beperkt tot openbare bronnen, zoals blogs, microblogs, websites, forums, chatrooms en sociale netten als Facebook, Hyves en Twitter. Het systeem maakt vooral gebruik van koppeling op grond van het volgen van het gebruik van IP-nummers en het wisselen daarvan. Het is vooral krachtig vanwege analyse: "CY-Humant creëert en onderhoudt virtuele identiteiten, aangevuld met krachtige middelen voor analyse. Het systeem ondersteunt informatieanalisten online met de efficiency van het verkrijgen van informatie in de echte wereld."

Europese subsidie

Het KLPD en de Politie Twente zijn samen met diverse andere opsporingsinstanties, IT-bedrijven en onderzoeksinstellingen partner in wat nu nog een 'onderzoeksproject' heet. Ordina doet de systeemintegratie en begeleiding in Nederland. Volgens managing partner Onno Franken van Ordina moet het project officieel nog van start gaan. Er is namelijk een Europese subsidieaanvraag, maar het besluit daarover moet in de komende maanden nog vallen.

"Met een aantal Europese partijen hebben we een voorstel ingediend om dit systeem te ontwikkelen voor aan aantal politiediensten in Europa", zegt Franken. "Als je dat samen doet, dan bespaart dat onderzoekskosten en je kunt later elkaars ervaringen delen."

'Niemand hoeft bang te zijn'

Volgens hem hebben ze een 'gezamenlijke visie' opgesteld om als politie meer te gaan doen met informatie. Ze willen op grond van diepgaande analyse potentieel crimineel gedrag en de potentiële vorming van criminele organisaties eerder in beeld te krijgen. Daarmee wil de politie preventief kunnen optreden, of sneller succes boeken met opsporing na een misdaad.

"Het systeem functioneert geheel binnen de wettelijke en ethische grenzen", stelt hij op de vraag of nu iedereen op internet potentieel verdachte wordt. "Als de verkregen informatie uit openbare bronnen verder onderzoek vergt, worden de reguliere kanalen en procedures die voor elk politieonderzoek gelden gevolgd. Niemand is zomaar verdachte en niemand hoeft er bang voor te zijn."

Breder gebruikt

In het verlengde daarvan speelt de vraag of juist de kwaadwillenden voortaan het openbare internet niet gaan gebruiken in de wetenschap dat de politie daar intensief surveilleert. Maar volgens Franken tonen de ervaringen met CY-Humint elders beslist dat het effectief is in het gebruik.

Ordina is de vaste partner van Athena in de Benelux. Dat suggereert dat er al meer opdrachtgevers zijn, maar namen willen Athena en Ordina niet noemen. Wel wil Franken nog kwijt dat de Belgische politie niet deelneemt in het project.

Anonymous faction in new attack on corporate fraud

A faction within the online hacking collective Anonymous has moved into an unlikely new area – exposing corporate fraud and making money in the aftermath. A new financial research group, Anonymous Analytics, has released a report accusing Chinese firm Chaoda Modern Agriculture of “11 years of deceit and corporate fraud”. The company is one of China’s largest fruit and vegetable suppliers.

The group alleges that Chaoda’s management has funnelled more than $400 million out of the company through false accounting and payments to shell companies. Hong Kong’s government announced an investigation into the company on Monday, shortly before the release of the Anonymous report, leading its shares to fall by 26 per cent before being suspended from trading.

In a departure from illegal hacking, Anonymous Analytics claims that “all information presented in our reports is acquired through legal channels, fact-checked, and vetted thoroughly before release.” The group will however profit from Chaoda’s falling shares, stating “we have an indirect interest in these positions and stand to gain from a decline in the share price of these securities.”

The group has released the information in an encrypted insurance file and will publish the password if its members’ safety or anonymity is threatened.

Top German cop installed spyware on his daughter's computer to monitor her Internet usage, gets hacked in retaliation

Trojans—they're not just for hackers anymore. German police, for instance, love them; a scandal erupted in Parliament last year after federal investigators were found to be using custom spyware that could potentially record far more information than allowed by law. The story made headlines, but it lacked a certain sense of the bizarre.

Fortunately for connoisseurs of the weird, Der Spiegel revealed a stranger story in its magazine yesterday. According to the report, a top German security official installed a trojan on his own daughter's computer to monitor her Internet usage. What could possibly go wrong?

Nothing—well, at least until one of the daughter's friends found the installed spyware. The friend then went after the dad's personal computer as a payback and managed to get in, where he found a cache of security-related e-mails from work. The e-mails, in turn, provided the information necessary for hackers to infiltrate Germany's federal police.

That was bad, but it got worse. The hackers got into the servers for the "Patras" program, which logs location data on suspected criminals through cell phone and car GPS systems. Concerned about security breaches, the government eventually had to take the entire set of Patras servers offline.

One moral of the tale: parents, think hard before taking technical measures against your own kids. There's a better than average chance that they—or their friends—know more than you do.

Anonymous will shut down to protest SOPA

HACKTIVIST GROUP Anonymous will turn off its lights for twelve hours in protest against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the US.

The hackers are following Reddit's lead, and will join a communications blackout on 18 January that will begin at 8am and end at 8pm.

Reddit said this week that in protest against SOPA, which could shut web sites like it down, it will cease to operate as normal and will be showing only a message of protest, and this has gained the approval of its already supportive user base.

At Anonymous the news was taken equally well, and while the @AnonymousIRC Twitter account tried to recruit other organisations such as Wikipedia and Google into joining the protest it received tweets of support for its plans from its members.

The Reddit announcement has also caused Wikipedia's Jimmy Wales to have another think about whether it is right to turn off his web site in protest, a tactic that was mooted last year.

"Reddit recently announced that they will be blacking out the site from 0800-2000, Jan 18th," he said in a statement on his personal page on the web site. "Were Wikipedia to consider a similar measure, it might make sense to do so at the same time, to increase impact."

Wordpress is also joining the protest and has posted a strong call to arms on its website. "You are an agent of change. Has anyone ever told you that? Well, I just did, and I meant it," it says. "There's something going on in U.S. politics right now that we need to make sure you know about and understand, because it affects us all."

That something is SOPA, and Wordpress said that if it is left unchecked and unprotested it will have a terrible impact on the internet and the web sites that depend upon it.

"We are not a small group. More than 60 million people use WordPress - it's said to power about 15 per cent of the web. We can make an impact, and you can be an agent of change," it said as it called on its users to protest.

"The Senate votes in two weeks, and we need to help at least 41 more senators see reason before then. Please. Make your voice heard." µ

Law professors react to PIPA, SOPA legislation

Congress is expected to consider two bills when it returns from recess on Jan. 24: the Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act (PROTECT IP Act or PIPA) and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). The legislation is of major concern to Stanford thought leaders, in addition to nationwide legal experts, online security experts, Internet activists and the founders of many of Silicon Valley’s largest companies.

“The answer is to innovate, not to pass stupid laws that are going to screw up the Internet,” said Anthony Falzone, executive director of the Fair Use Project at the Stanford Center for Internet and Society (SCIS) at a Dec. 7 event hosted by SCIS called, “What’s wrong with SOPA?” The panel convened experts on Internet infrastructure and security, digital intellectual property and Silicon Valley business to articulate many of SOPA’s problems.

More than 150 people attended the Law School event, which was “not meant to give equal time to both sides,” according to Falzone. The audience did include two representatives from the Motion Picture Association of America, supporters of SOPA and PIPA, who spoke up during a question and answer session.

“There were things about this bill that people in Silicon Valley needed to know – that is lawyers, entrepreneurs and technology people,” Falzone said. “Our goal was to put together an array of people who could speak to each one of those sets of considerations.”

Professor Mark Lemley, director of the Stanford Program in Law, Science and Technology, spoke in a January interview with The Daily of the necessity of publicizing what he characterized as the incredible harm of this potential legislation.

“PIPA was introduced in the Senate in early 2011 and it went through the Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously… mostly I think because people hadn’t paid attention to it,” Lemley said.

Lemley believes this unanimous action occurred because PIPA was a less extreme bill than SOPA – a conscious legislative decision to make the “lesser of two evils” look like a healthy compromise.

Both pieces of legislation are almost exclusively supported by traditional media companies like Viacom and members of Recording Industry Association of America, as well as companies heavily reliant on brands such as Nike, the NBA and Pfizer.

The founders of Google, Yahoo, Twitter, LinkedIn and many other Silicon Valley giants published an open letter warning of the dangers of SOPA and PIPA.

The letter appeared as a paid advertisement in The New York Times, The Washington Post and other newspapers. It predicted SOPA and PIPA would, “have a chilling effect on innovation” and change “the very basic structure of the Internet.”

The letter also raised the legal concern that this legislation allows the closure of websites without due process and could be used to stifle legitimate speech.

“If we just shut down the Internet there would be a lot less piracy, right?” Lemley said. “But, there is a lot of socially valuable material that we get only because of the Internet. “

In the most severe version of SOPA the Attorney General would have authority to bring action against websites accused of “committing or facilitating online piracy.”

The bill also provides for a system of notifications directly from the copyright holder to web services like Internet service providers (ISP) and search engines. These web services are then able to suspend service to specific sites and are immune from prosecution for doing so in error.

“You wouldn’t necessarily even bring anybody into court,” Lemley said. “So each individual ISP who gets this notice has now got to keep a separate black list.”

Falzone said he fears a world in which websites could be shut down, “in a completely invisible way.”

“You would have people doing these deals in the proverbial smoky backroom… picking up the phone and saying, ‘Wouldn’t it be so unpleasant if we had to go through an elaborate process and spend money on lawyers?’” Falzone said.

Of further concern is that the act of physically limiting the websites that computers can access would not only fundamentally change the way the Internet currently operates, but in so doing would negate current efforts at improved Internet security.

For Lemley, the physical blocking of websites has foreign policy ramifications as well.

“It’s awfully hard to persuade the Chinas and Irans of the world that they should open their society and Internet to things they object to when we won’t open our society to things we object to,” Lemley said.

A third bill that Congress will consider, the Online Protection & Enforcement of Digital Trade Act (OPEN Act) may address some of the professor’s concerns with SOPA and PIPA.

This legislation would differ from SOPA because it would not allow for the physical blocking of websites; rather it would block funding for the infringing websites. It would also be enforced by the International Trade Commission and do away with the notification system of SOPA.

Falzone predicts that what Congress will ultimately pass will be similar to the OPEN Act and not SOPA. Falzone also said he foresees a more prolonged battle.

“Silicon Valley has now really thrown their weight behind [opposing SOPA & PIPA], and it is a real fight… everybody has brought their big guns.”

Facebook, Google, others face charges in India

Associated Press= NEW DELHI (AP) — For the first time, Indian prosecutors are taking Google, Yahoo, Facebook and other networking sites to court for refusing to remove material considered insulting to Indian leaders and major religious figures.

Government officials are upset about material insulting to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, ruling Congress party leader Sonia Gandhi and major religious figures. Some illustrations have shown Singh and Gandhi in compromising positions and pigs running through Mecca, Islam's holiest city.

On Friday, the federal government told a New Delhi court that there was sufficient material to proceed against 21 social networking sites for offenses of "promoting enmity between classes and causing prejudice to national integration," according to the Press Trust of India news agency.

The cases, which PTI said name companies including Google, Facebook, Yahoo and Microsoft, represent a new risk of doing business in the nation of more than 1 billion people, which is looking to technology to boost its economy and standard of living. The dispute highlights India's difficulty in balancing the Internet culture of freewheeling discourse with its homegrown religious and political sensitivities.

Convictions could bring fines and up to five years' imprisonment, through prosecutors have named only the companies involved rather than any executives. Metropolitan Magistrate Sudesh Kumar on Friday asked India's External Affairs Ministry to serve summons to officials of foreign-based companies for court appearances March 13.

In December, Telecommunications Minister Kapil Sibal said he had spoken repeatedly with officials from major Internet companies over the past three months and asked them to come up with a voluntary framework to keep offensive material off the Internet. He said that the companies told him there was nothing they could do.

There was no immediate comment by the networking sites after Friday's court proceedings.

However, Facebook said last month that it would remove content that "is hateful, threatening, incites violence or contains nudity."

Google said in a December statement that it removes content that violates local law and its own standards.

"But when content is legal and doesn't violate our policies, we won't remove it just because it's controversial, as we believe that people's differing views, so long as they're legal, should be respected and protected," Google said in a statement in December.

Sibal had shown reporters Web illustrations showing Singh and Gandhi in compromising positions as well as a site showing pigs running through Islam's holy city of Mecca, a clear insult to Muslims.

Sibal said the Internet companies had told him that they were applying U.S. standards to their sites, and he objected, saying that they needed to be sensitive to Indian sensibilities.

Comcast Accidentally Admits SOPA Would Make the Net Less Secure

Comcast announced today that it has finished the rollout of Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) across its network. While patting itself on the back, Comcast’s blog post went on to essentially admit that a major element of the enforcement plan in SOPA and PIPA is incompatible with DNSSEC. Comcast is the owner of NBC-Universal, and a vocal supporter of SOPA.

The way Comcast outed itself is a little roundabout. The nation’s biggest ISP feels confident enough in DNSSEC that it shut down its internal domain Domain Helper redirect service. Domain Helper would try to redirect users that typed in commonly misspelled addresses to the right website. The important thing here is that Comcast ended support for Domain helper because it says DNS redirects are not supported by DNSSEC. SOPA and PIPA would use DNS redirects to block offending websites. Oops.

According to Comcast itself, DNS redirects are indistinguishable from malicious attacks like DNS poisoning. SOPA supporters have been brushing off claims that SOPA-mandated DNS redirects would mean a less secure Internet, but it appears that when not on Capitol Hill, Comcast believes quite the opposite to be true.

Media Moguls Harassed By Opponents of Piracy Legislation

There has been a call to action online to show opposition to SOPA via phone calls and e-mail messages targeting companies that are pushing for SOPA and their executives.

Top entertainment executives are being targeted for harassment by activists because of their companies' support of the Stop Online Piracy Act that is being discussed in Congress.

Sources say that Jeffrey Bewkes, chairman and CEO of Time Warner, one of many Hollywood conglomerates that have publicly backed the proposed anti-piracy legislation, recently received menacing phone calls and e-mails from SOPA critics. (One source says voice-mails have been left swearing at executives, though that has not been confirmed). Bewkes' personal information also has been disseminated online among activists opposing SOPA. A Time Warner spokesman declined to comment.

Meanwhile, The New York Times reports that the activist group Anonymous has targeted Viacom-CBS mogul Sumner Redstone, posting a file online that ecourages members to call and e-mail him. It wasn't immediately clear if other industry players have been a target of hacking or harassment. Spokespeople for some entertainment giants said they were not aware of any cases of harassment or hacking at their companies, while others weren't available for comment.

What is clear, however, is that there has been a call to action online to show opposition to SOPA via phone calls and e-mail messages targeting companies and their executives that are pushing for SOPA.

In online forums, activists, including people associated with Anonymous, posted contact lists in recent weeks to rally SOPA critics — as is often the case with hotly discussed topics. But some of the calls to action were particularly harshly worded and included names of select executives' wives. "Attack supporting companies," says one playbook for SOPA critics that has been posted online. "Hack, leak and deface Web sites with the propaganda." The online initiatives have been given such names as Operation Hiroshima and Operation Blackout.

PiratePad.net and Pastebin.com are among the sites where executive information and suggestions for protest have shown up. Some posts on Pastebin, for instance, call SOPA "the first step limiting what you watch online and allowing the government to know what you watch online" and claims that "no one should be able to hide behind a corporation, impunity for no one."

One post on the site recently listed phone numbers for Redstone; NBCUniversal CEO Steve Burke; Sony, Sony Music and Sony Pictures; Walt Disney Co. and CEO Robert Iger; Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman; and Time Warner and Bewkes. Sites have mostly listed general company phone numbers that can easily be found in the public domain, but some also have mentioned select executive's work e-mail addresses and -- at least in one case -- a private number.

“They should feel threatened,” Barrett Brown, a Dallas-based online activist who has worked with Anonymous, told the NYT. “The idea is to put pressure on the politicians and companies supporting it.”

The movement indicates how hot a topic SOPA has become. The legislation would allow the Justice Department and copyright holders to seek court orders against sites seen as enabling copyright infringement. As a result, Internet service providers could be blocked from enabling access to such sites, search engines could be blocked from linking to them, and online ad networks and payment providers could be barred from doing business with them.

Hollywood and other proponents say the legislation would help protect intellectual property and industry jobs. Critics, such as Google and many tech firms, fear a negative effect on the development of the Internet and voice free-speech concerns.

Army Uses Web Tool to Track Bradley Manning Mentions

If you’ve ever sent a tweet about Pfc. Bradley Manning you can safely assume someone working for the Army’s public affairs department took notice.

Manning, who is charged with being a source for WikiLeaks in 2010, had a hearing last month.

The public affairs department for the U.S. Army enlisted the help of Vocus, a public relations web tool that allows companies to monitor news and social media chatter by using keywords.

An Army Vocus report obtained by POLITICO says that most of the coverage of Manning is “negative,” however, “the majority of the coverage about the hearing remains balanced and factual.” The report found “1,045 social media conversations about the hearing.”

The actual daily summary report is marked as “unclassified” and can be viewed by clicking here (PDF).

Manning is accused of releasing more than 700,000 classified government documents. It was recommended that Manning receive a court martial; that decision is expected to be announced early next week.

It’s no secret that public relations professionals utilize web tools to monitor what people are saying about their organizations. There are numerous services available to companies for tracking their social media programs: Vocus, Cision, Meltwater. Google launched a tool last summer for individuals who wonder what their social media profile might look like. In addition to typing your name into Google or signing-up for Google Analytics, now anyone can also sign-up for “Me on the Web” to receive alerts if their name is mentioned online.

Do you monitor your name online? How do you feel about the Army’s public affairs department monitoring social media? Tell us in the comments.

Under voter pressure, members of Congress backpedal (hard) on SOPA

The public outcry over the Stop Online Piracy Act and Protect IP Act seems to have gotten so loud that even members of Congress can hear it. On Thursday we covered the news that Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) was expressing second thoughts about SOPA's DNS provisions. He said he changed his mind after he "heard from a number of Vermonters" on the issue.

On Friday, several Republicans started backpedaling as well.

SOPA sponsor Lamar Smith (R-TX) announced that he would be pulling the DNS-blocking provisions from his own bill. “After consultation with industry groups across the country, I feel we should remove Domain Name System blocking from the Stop Online Piracy Act so that the Committee can further examine the issues surrounding this provision," Smith said in a Friday statement.

Meanwhile, six GOP senators who served on the Senate Judiciary Committee (which unanimously approved the legislation last year) wrote a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid asking him to postpone a vote on PIPA to give them more time to study the legislation.

"We strongly believe that the theft of American intellectual property is a significant problem that must be addressed," they wrote. But since the Judiciary Committee last considered the legislation, "we have increasingly heard from a large number of constituents and other stakeholders with vocal concerns about possible unintended consequences of the proposed legislation, including breaches in cybersecurity, damaging the integrity of the Internet, costly and burdensome litigation, and dilution of First Amendment rights."

The current plan for the full Senate to consider the bill on January 24 "may not permit us to work through many of the concerns that have been raised," they warned.

Lest anyone doubt the signers' tough-on-piracy bona fides, they include Orrin Hatch (R-UT), who once proposed that Congress give copyright holders a special exemption allowing them to hack into the computers of those suspected of piracy. In a 2003 hearing, he suggested that damaging someone's computer "may be the only way you can teach somebody about copyrights."

Another member of Congress that has been feeling the heat from voters is Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI). After reddit members raised $15,000 in 48 hours for his anti-SOPA challenger, Ryan came out with a clear statement of opposition to the legislation.

"It appears that lawmakers are beginning to realize how much damage their anti-'piracy' bills could cause to the Internet and to Internet-related businesses," said Public Knowledge's Sherwin Siy in a statement. "While we are pleased that some progress is being made, we are also firm in our opposition to both bills because some very bad provisions remain."

Washington insiders hold disproportionate sway on Capitol Hill. But members of Congress are ultimately chosen by American voters. When enough of them express a strong view on an issue, members of Congress do pay attention.
