Nigerian IT group pushes forensic training |
|

NCS President Charles Uwadia made the call in a communiqué of the society's annual meeting. He also called for the establishment of computer forensic departments in all higher-education institutions in Nigeria...

Computer crime: He may be a nerd, but he's ours |
|
For two years Gary McKinnon, an unemployed Scotsman armed with only some spliffs, a few beers, and a dial-up internet connection, went looking for beings of superior intelligence. He couldn't find them. Instead, he found the US Military-Industrial Complex, an altogether different grade of brain. And, after he'd found them, and fooled around inside their computer systems for a few years, he got sloppy. And so, in turn, he was found in Crouch End, north London, by the US Justice Department, or rather its surrogates in the UK, the Home Office's then National Hi-Tech Crime Unit...

 Recent advances in computer forensics technology are helping law enforcement officials enhance their investigations while allowing corporations to track their employees' online habits.

The SFO's digital forensics unit |
|
 The future of the Serious Fraud Office is in doubt after the collapse of their case against five drug firms accused of ripping off the NHS. It was an eight-year investigation that cost the taxpayer tens of millions of pounds. The operation involved sifting through half a billion emails by hand. Now the SFO's set up a digital forensics unit to help fight increasingly sophisticated fraud...

The Tangled Web Mail We Weave and Leave |
|
It is an understatement to observe that the focus, if not the obsession, of e-discovery production today is the production of e-mail. In the prototypical e-discovery matter a company has an e-mail server and workstations (desktop or laptop computers) and company e-mail, i.e. the kind with the e-mail address, "employee@company.com," will be found on both. Web-based e-mail, however, provides a second generic source of e-mail. Anyone with an AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, Comcast or other common e-mail account -- virtually everyone -- is familiar with Web-based e-mail. This article explores the problems with requesting, preserving and producing Web-based e-mail...

Cold Boot Attack Utilities Released At HOPE Conference |
|
Jacob Appelbaum, one of the security researchers who worked on the cold boot attacks to recover encryption keys from memory even after reboot, has announced the release of the complete source code for the utilities at The Last HOPE in New York City. The hope (obligatory pun) is that the release of these tools will help to improve awareness of this attack vector and enable the development of countermeasures and mitigation techniques in both software and hardware. The full research paper (PDF) is also available...

Law troubles computer repairmen, sparks lawsuit |
|
Texas legislators may have unintentionally ensnared some computer repairmen in a web of rules and regulations designed for private detectives. The law, passed last year, criminalizes the investigation of certain computer problems without a private investigator's license. Private investigators support the stringent licensing requirements, saying the rules protect the public's privacy and ensure professional investigations...

TrueCrypt not as deniable as thought |
|
It may not be possible after all to conceal the existence of a sensitive file on a machine. BT security expert Bruce Schneier and a group of researchers have hacked an ultra-paranoid feature in the TrueCrypt open-source disk encryption tool that lets users hide secret files from detection by attackers or others. This "deniability" feature is a sort of extreme file-protection function that first encrypts the file and then hides it within an encrypted area on the disk drive like an invisibility cloak...

Romainian authorities arrest cybercrime suspects |
|
Authorities have arrested more than 20 people in Romania who are suspected of running online fraud schemes, according to media reports. The Tuesday arrests were confirmed by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, which has been working with Romanian officials on cybercrime in recent months. The FBI would say only that the agency is aware of the arrests and because "this is an ongoing matter, we will have no further comment at this time..."
