Taking Over a Car
Researchers “break in” with software and a laptop.
By Erica Naone
Cars are becoming more computerized, an evolution that could have an unintended side effect: vulnerability to attacks. Researchers at the University of Washington and the University of California, San Diego, led by Tadayoshi Kohno and Stefan Savage, recently showed that by taking over a car’s computers, they could disable the brakes, stop the engine, and control the door locks. For now, most of the attacks require access to a port inside the car. But wreaking havoc could get easier as carmakers add more wireless connectivity. The researchers hope their work will motivate manufacturers to add security features.

Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch on 8/Sep/2010 01:35
In Tamaulipas, violence consumes everyone. Terror paralyzes the authorities, businessmen, politicians and all its citizens. The war between the Gulf Cartel and its rival Los Zetas has the border state on the verge of collapse.
REYNOSA, Tamaulipas .- The news of the murder of 72 Central and South American migrants on a ranch in the municipality of San Fernando, which appeared on Tuesday, August 24, shocked the world, but not Tamaulipas. The locals say that this case is not even 10% of what happens in the state and is covered up by the authorities.

Mexican Drug Cartels Cripple Mexico’s biggest natural gas fields
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Threat Watch on 8/Sep/2010 01:31
“The meandering network of pipes, wells and tankers belonging to the gigantic state oil company Pemex have long been an easy target of crooks and drug traffickers who siphon off natural gas, gasoline and even crude, robbing the Mexican treasury of hundreds of millions of dollars annually.
Now the cartels have taken sabotage to a new level: They’ve hobbled key operations in parts of the Burgos Basin, home to Mexico’s biggest natural gas fields.

Apple Seeks Patent to Spy on Customers
From: EFF
While users were celebrating the new jailbreaking and unlocking exemptions, Apple was quietly preparing to apply for a patent on technology that, among other things, would allow Apple to identify and punish users who take advantage of those exemptions or otherwise tinker with their devices. This patent application does nothing short of providing a roadmap for how Apple can — and presumably will — spy on its customers and control the way its customers use Apple products.
Freelance Journalist Released in Afghanistan
Posted by Gary in News, Threat Watch on 7/Sep/2010 17:47
Freelance Japanese journalist Kosuke Tsuneoka, himself a Muslim, was released Saturday after 5 months of captivity in Kunduz Province, Afghanistan.
From: The Japan Times
Kosuke Tsuneoka
During his five months in captivity, he said he never met anyone who supported the government led by President Hamid Karzai.
Financial aid from overseas, including Japan, is spent on government-controlled areas, which amounts to only 10 to 20 percent of the country, which is widening the wealth disparity, Tsuneoka said.
One of the captors told him there is no hospital in Archi, a town in Kunduz Province, where he stayed. “He asked me, ‘Can’t Japan help us?’ “
