‘硝基’ 黑客据说攻击数十家公司在化工, 国防工业 | 福克斯新闻网

十月 31, 2011 通过 发表评论

Hackers reportedly used an off-the-shelf virus created in China to compromise the computers of nearly 50 公司, including in the chemical and defense industries — an attack described as being in the same family as the notorious Stuxnet virus, if not as severe.

The goal of the attacks, reported Monday by security software company Symantec, “appears to be to collect intellectual property such as design documents, formulas, and manufacturing processes,” 报告说，.

Symantec dubbed the attack “硝基” and said a total of 29 companies in the chemical industry were targeted, in addition to 19 in other sectors. Among the companies were some that develop materials used primarily in military vehicles.

The infected computers spanned the globe, from the United States to Denmark to Saudi Arabia and Japan.

我们有豪华继续遵守好奇? | “莫斯科时报”

十月 31, 2011 通过 发表评论

If you are a Russian company that is subject to the U.S. 外国腐败行为法案 (反海外腐败法) or U.K. 贿赂行为 (广管局), now is an excellent time to switch from being merely FCPA or BA-curious to FCPA or BA-compliant.

有这个坚实的原因. On the one hand there is the increased level of FCPA enforcement with an almost exponentially growing number of staff at the U.S. Department of Justice (美国司法部) looking at Russia ever more closely. On the other hand, as if this were not enough, beginning this summer companies and individuals alike must now also contend with BA enforcement.

What does being compliant mean? It certainly does not mean you should attempt to structure business operations to avoid these two laws. The laws are statutes with long-arm jurisdictions and, 因此, cast their nets far and wide. This means that, if you are an international company with a presence and/or a public listing in the United States and the United Kingdom, it is more likely than not that both the FCPA and the BA will apply to you. 此外, I would not trust the statement in the Official Guidance to the Bribery Act that a listing by itself will not constitute carrying out business or part of business in the United Kingdom. 相反, I would urge following what the SFO has said, which is that a listing by itself may be just enough to trigger BA jurisdiction.

Being compliant means you should have a proper compliance program in place. It is as “simple” as that.

Your compliance program should cover both the FCPA and BA. Careful analysis and review of existing enforcement practice indicate that, despite textual differences, the two laws are about similar prohibitions. For instance, it is true that the BA does not contain an exception for facilitation or “grease” payments, whereas the FCPA does. 注意：, however, that U.S. enforcement has rendered this FCPA exception practically obsolete. Commercial bribery is another example. The BA expressly prohibits commercial bribery, whereas the FCPA does not. Nevertheless, the DoJ has charged companies for commercial bribery in the past under the so-called books and records provisions of the FCPA, and with the help of jurisdictional mechanisms available under the U.S. Travel Act.

◊  Data Mapping

◊  Data Minimization
◊  Early Data Assessment
◊  Email Analytics & Conversion
◊  Key Term Analysis
◊  Offline Content Review

Presented in a clear and concise manner, the new publication, Guidelines for Best Practices in E-Discovery in New York State and Federal Courts is available free of charge at www.nysba.org/e-discovery.

State Bar President Vincent E. Doyle III of Buffalo (Connors & Vilardo LLP), 说：, “Whether documents are stored on Facebook, in an iPad, in email, or in the “云,” members of the legal profession must understand their legal responsibilities in preserving, collecting and producing the electronically stored information. In a world where e-discovery is fast becoming standard ‘发现,’ it is imperative that lawyers understand this emerging area of evidence so we can fulfill our obligations to our clients and the courts.

十月 31, 2011 通过 发表评论

SFL Data announced today that it has been selected as one of the “顶部 100 增长最快的私人公司” in the San Francisco Bay Area for 2011 by the San Francisco Business Times. The company was the first to provide a fixed-price electronic discovery managed service to Fortune 500 companies and AmLaw 250 公司. Based on the success of its proprietary e-discovery service model that provides defensible results, reduced costs and greater control, SFL Data demonstrated a 71.3% increase in revenue growth from 2008 到 2010, ranking it 61st out of 100 Bay Area companies.

“What a credit to these outstanding companies that they have shown such noteworthy growth in the years from 2008 到 2010 – years that many companies were thrilled to stay flat,” said SF Business Times Publisher Mary Huss.

Roughly half of the companies are new to this year’s Fast Private List, including SFL Data. The e-discovery managed service provider’s 71.3% growth increase was supported by a 60% increase in staff – 从 58 到 93 employees over the three year period.

“The expertise of our technical staff, knowledge of legal industry and dedication to customer service has enabled us to capitalize on the need for more efficient e-discovery. We look forward to our continued growth as more corporations and law firms realize the benefits of having the best e-discovery team without building it themselves,” said SLF Data CEO Christian Lawrence.

Facebook表示 600,000 帐户登录妥协每天 | msnbc.com

十月 29, 2011 通过 发表评论

Facebook said this week that hackers using stolen username and password credentials try to break into at least 600,000 accounts every day on the mammoth social networking site.

The revelation was buried in a new security announcement issued by the company on Thursday describing the virtues of its new “Trusted Friends” password restoration technique. UK-based computer security firm Sophos first noticed the data.

The Facebook blog entry includes an infographic explaining the success of the network’s efforts to beat back spam, account hijacking, and other ills.  In it, Facebook says that “只能 0.06 ％的 1 billion logins per day are compromised.” The site is able to precisely count the number of stolen or otherwise compromised logins because it challenges the would-be hackers with additional authentication questions, such as asking users to identify friends in pictures, said spokesman Barry Schnitt.

“(这意味着) 600,000 times a day, we stop a bad guy from getting access to an account even though he has guessed, phished, or stolen the login and password of an account,” Schnitt said. “This is something we’re very proud of.”

Google如何被绊倒了一个坏搜索 | PCWorld商务中心

十月 28, 2011 通过 发表评论

最后，这是一个搜索，让谷歌.

上周，该公司遭受了挫折，在其与甲骨文的专利纠纷时美国. 法官拒绝了Google的要求，以保持Google内部电子邮件的情况下记录. 的电子邮件, 写了一个Google工程师, 可以建议，谷歌知道，它需要一个许可使用Sun的一个陪审团 — 现在是Oracle — 在Android的Java技术.

具有讽刺意味的, 考虑这是谷歌, 组织者世界的信息, 电子邮件可能从未见过天日，如果搜索工具，用于识别律师 - 客户特权涵盖的文件做了他们的工作, 法律专家表示，.

这一事件还轻洒在技术领域 — 电子发现 — 这为律师创造巨大的挑战，更多的沟通移动在线. 它有助于解释为什么惠普愿意花10亿美元购买自治, 电子发现软件和服务的最大供应商之一.

谷歌事件显然源于顶级律师事务所之一，它聘请了对抗甲骨文的诉讼从一个错误, 指责谷歌在Android的专利和版权侵权. 这是一个高风险的情况下，成本可能谷歌数十亿美元的赔偿金, 并迫使它开始收费为Android手机制造商牌照费.

像许多公司诉讼案件, 这个发现阶段开始. 每一方都需要找出所有的电子邮件, 聊天记录以及其他与案件有关的文件, 他们反对的法律团队和生产. 由于经常有百万涉及的文件, 他们使用的软件工具来定义日期范围, 搜索关键字，找到他们生产的材料.

通信与律师讨论法律意见是受律师 - 客户特权, 这意味着他们没有要公开. 谷歌辩称，其潜在的罪证的电子邮件这一类下跌.

它写于去年八月由Google的工程师蒂姆林德霍尔姆, 几个星期前，甲骨文对谷歌提起诉讼. 当时, 甲骨文曾威胁要起诉谷歌数十亿美元, 和林霍尔姆奉命由谷歌高管看到在Android中使用Java的替代品存在什么, 显然是为了加强其谈判地位.
