Brein eist blokkade Pirate Bay van internetproviders – KPN weigert

Internetproviders UPC, KPN en T-Mobile hebben van Stichting Brein het verzoek gekregen downloadsite The Pirate Bay te blokkeren. KPN is echter niet bereid om gehoor te geven aan het verzoek.

De verzoeken volgen op de uitspraak van de rechtbank in Den Haag begin januari dat internetproviders Ziggo en Xs4all verplicht zijn om The Pirate Bay te blokkeren.

Woordvoerders van UPC en T-Mobile meldden vanmiddag aan Webwereld dat ze het verzoek van Brein momenteel bestuderen. Ze zeggen nog niet of ze bereid zijn hier gehoor aan te geven.

Tweakers meldt dat ook KPN zo’n verzoek tot blokkade heeft gekregen. Een woordvoerder meldt tegen die site dat KPN niet bereid is daar gehoor aan te geven.

US govt security website hacked

Portal offering Internet security advice taken offline by hacktivist group Anonymous in protest of piracy crackdown

Hacktivist group Anonymous has claimed responsibility for taking down a website operated by US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that offers Internet security advice to consumers.

The hit on OnGuardOnline.gov appears to go beyond the usual denial of service attack. The Pastebin post claiming responsibility for attack purports to show a log of the intrusion in progress, with the hacker gaining complete access to the site's back-end MySQL database and posting links to a full copy of its copied structure.

The post also warns of further action if any of the anti-piracy bills – the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the US and the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) in Europe – pass, promising to destroy "dozens upon dozens of government and company websites". Anonymous affiliate group AntiSec also to have take control of "hundreds of rooted servers", as well as passwords, bank accounts and online dating details.

Hacking affiliated to the Anonymous movement continues around the world, with activists in Brazil launching denial of service attacks on the main Brazilian government website, brazil.gov.br, as well as other governement websites.

A seperate Anonymous-affiliated hacking group recently brought down multiple Polish government websites in protest of the Polish government's support for ACTA.

The @WikipediaAnon twitter account which claimed responsibility for the attack tweeted: “Dear Polish government, we will continue to disrupt and interfere with your government official websites until the 26th. Do not pass ACTA."

"We have dox files and leaked documentations on many Poland officials, if ACTA is passed, we will release these documents," the account tweeted later.

According to the BBC, governmnent spokesperson Pawel Gras initially claimed the website was down due "huge interest in the sites of the prime minister and parliament".

US launched cyber attacks on other nations

The assumption that the US has the technological know-how to cripple a competing nation has always been just that: as assumption. In a recent sit-down interview, however, a former spy chief confirmed that America has already waged cyber attacks.

Mike McConnell, the former director of national intelligence at the National Security Agency under George W Bush, tells Reuters this week that cyber war is more than a distant possibility. According to the current vice chairman at Booz Allen Hamilton, the US has already launched attacks on the computer networks of other nations.

McConnell did not add any input as to what countries have been hit with American cyber warfare in the past, but he did confirm that the US has already used the ability. When asked by Reuters if the United States had the capability to destroy the computer system of an adversary, McConnell responded “Yes.” When asked if it worked, he confirmed “yes” as well.

"Do we have the ability to attack, degrade or destroy? Sure. If you do that, what are the consequences? That is the question,” added McConnell.

Although the former spy chief neglected to name any countries that have been the target of American attacks, the US is believed by some to be the culprit behind a virus that targeted computer systems in Iran in 2010. Stuxnet, an advanced computer worm discovered in June of that year, impacted the computers used in conjunction with Iran’s nuclear program. In a January 2011 article in the New York Times, an American nuclear intelligence expert speaking on condition of anonymity said that the Israelis were behind Stuxnet, placing the blame on one of America’s most important allies. The expert adds in the article that Israel did indeed work hand-in-hand with the US in perfect Stuxnet before sending it to the Iranian networks, but that Washington wanted “plausible deniability.”

Other sources have since all but confirmed America’s involvement in the worm. German cyber security expert Ralph Langner told National Public Radio last year that the virus seemed like something out of science fiction, but added that, "Thinking about it for another minute, if it's not aliens, it's got to be the United States.” He went on to call the US “the leading force” behind Stuxnet, an assumption that many in Iran believe as well. While the Iranians have never officially recognized retaliation on their part, rumors of revenge via cyberwar have been rampant in recent weeks, particularly after news broke out of Mexico last month that hackers south of the border were being recruited by Iran to participate in an infiltration of American computers.

Before it launched an airstrike` attack on Libya in 2011, a cyberattack was considered as a route to oust Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, an Obama official said to the New York Times last year. In the end, however, America relied on other techniques. “These cybercapabilities are still like the Ferrari that you keep in the garage and only take out for the big race and not just for a run around town, unless nothing else can get you there,” the insider, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Times.

Why was MegaUpload really shut down?

In December of 2011, just weeks before the takedown, Digital Music News reported on something new that the creators of #Megaupload were about to unroll. Something that would rock the music industry to its core. (http://goo.gl/A7wUZ)

I present to you... MegaBox. MegaBox was going to be an alternative music store that was entirely cloud-based and offered artists a better money-making opportunity than they would get with any record label.

"UMG knows that we are going to compete with them via our own music venture called Megabox.com, a site that will soon allow artists to sell their creations directly to consumers while allowing artists to keep 90 percent of earnings," MegaUpload founder Kim 'Dotcom' Schmitz told Torrentfreak

Not only did they plan on allowing artists to keep 90% of their earnings on songs that they sold, they wanted to pay them for songs they let users download for free.

"We have a solution called the Megakey that will allow artists to earn income from users who download music for free," Dotcom outlined. "Yes that's right, we will pay artists even for free downloads. The Megakey business model has been tested with over a million users and it works."

Veel te makkelijk om dit als een "conspiracy" te zien, reden waarom ze neergehaald zijn is omdat megaupload draaide op content die niet van hun zelf was en daar ook nog eens een hoop geld aan verdiende.

'KPN weigert The Pirate Bay te blokkeren'

Auteursrechtenorganisatie Brein eist van internetprovider KPN dat de toegang tot downloadsite The Pirate Bay wordt geblokkeerd, maar KPN weigert dat vooralsnog. Het telecomconcern wil eerst het hoger beroep afwachten dat is aangespannen door dochterbedrijf XS4ALL.

Dat schrijft technologiesite Webwereld, die met een woordvoerder van KPN sprak. Twee weken geleden bepaalde de rechter dat XS4All en Ziggo de toegang tot The Pirate Bay moeten blokkeren voor hun klanten. XS4All zal dat per 1 februari doen, maar is wel in hoger beroep tegen die uitspraak gegaan. Datzelfde geldt voor concurrent Ziggo. KPN heeft een brief van Brein ontvangen, maar gaat dus vooralsnog niet op dat verzoek in.

Brein heeft ook een brief aan andere internetproviders gestuurd met het verzoek de toegang tot de Zweedse torrentsite te blokkeren. UPC en T-Mobile hebben al bekendgemaakt zo'n brief te hebben ontvangen.
