[hackmeeting] Wargames II: parece que va en serio

[r11b3n]

Hola Arturo y compañía,

Efectivamente, la noticia aparece en montones de medios y como bien
dices no termina de estar claro qué "demonios" ha conseguido el
hacker. Ahora bien, pego a continuación tres noticias del boletín de
SecurityPortal del 5 de marzo (uno de tantos dedicados a seguirdad
informática). !Ojo al detalle! las noticias van en el mismo orden en
el cual aparecen en el mensaje original que recibí:

ZDNet: Claim Hacker Got U.S. Codes - An unidentified computer hacker
has got hold of top secret U.S. computer system codes for guiding
space ships, rockets and satellites, a lawyer in Sweden said Friday.
Computer experts raided the offices of an information technology
company in Stockholm last month and found a copy of the source codes
for the software program OS/COMET developed by U.S. firm Exigent
Software Technology, Johan Starell, legal counsel for Exigent in
Sweden, told Reuters.

GCN: FBI Official Warns Banks on Computer Security
- A successful hacker attack against the banking and financial system could
cripple the United States within three days, an FBI official warned this
week. "We cannot afford to let our dependence on automation become our
Achilles heel," said Alan B. Carroll, who supervises the analysis and
warning component at the FBI's National Infrastructure Protection Center.
"Our challenge is to button up the holes in our critical infrastructure, and
believe me, there are holes."

ZDNet: Uncle Sam: Where's the E-Security?
- Thirty-three months after a presidential order mandated that government
agencies work to protect the United States' critical infrastructure, most
have merely taken a few baby steps toward securing the country's computers
and networks, according to a White House report.

En fin, no quiero ser pesado pero este no deja de ser un ejemplo
aleatorio pero bastante evidente de lo que he comentado en los últimos
mensajes.

Gracias por vuestros "preciosos segundos" de atención ;)

Saludos.
