Uni entwickelt Alarmanlage gegen Hacker-Angriffe Bremen (dpa) - Ein neues
Frühwarnsystem soll Computer-Netzwerke künötig
besser gegen Hacker-Angriffe
schützen. Forscher der Universität Bremen und der
Fachhochschule Gelsenkirchen entwickeln zurzeit eine Art
Alarmanlage, die Datenspionage rechtzeitig aufdecken und
Schäden so verhindern soll. Diesen Artikel weiter lesen
«75 Prozent dieser Angriffe können bisher nicht
erkannt werden», sagte der Bremer Projektleiter Otthein
Herzog am Montag. Das System soll auf künstlicher
Intelligenz basieren. «Es lernt mit jedem Angriff dazu
und wird besser.» Das Bundesforschungsministerium
unterstützt das auf drei Jahre angelegte Projekt mit
rund 2,7 Millionen Euro.

Wikileaks:
Legal pursuit by USA inc. Banks (+UK
& Sweden etc) of Wikileaks
founder) escalated to net blocks, wikileaks
fell off the net, with counter attacks by
activists on USA domains. Any other random
group around the world, now has the potential
to target any other group. That's a growing
number of potential disrupters, & no
defence yet outside USA.

Milestone on the
slide toward CYBER ATTACK PROLIFERATION A
co-operative DOS attack on Visa Europe,
Mastercard, (& maybe Pay Pal & a Swiss
Bank), in response to payment companies pulling
facilities for Wikileaks
- The USA led payments withdrawal attack
on wikileaks was in parallel to founder Australian
Julian Assange being prosecuted for rape by Sweden,
& suspicion USA government might lean on
Britain to honour European extradition warrant for
Julian Assange to Sweden, from where fears are, he
might be further extradited to USA, where he could
fear for his life.
(Looney USA politicians mouthing off again.)
Those financial companies & politician were
then cyber attacked.
- Interesting new aspect: Some
people volunteered their machines to launch
co-operative DOS attacks on their enemies (of
wikileaks in this case)
- DOS attacks are now not just from normal
rogue states & heap of crappy MS OS PCs
infested by viruses etc. The technology is moving
toward mainstream & attracts volunteer users.
Cyber attack proliferation has occurred.
It's already in the hands of some users, it's time
more responsible countries & companies got some
active response

& suggested change German law to allow a Deter aka Idacas project as other nations already
have. It was a suprise to some, but 1 panel member
asked another
(Innenpolitischer Sprecher der CSU-Landtagsfraktion
), if this was do-able ?
Answer: Yes probably it was possible (but as suprised by the
idea, there was initial caution & no commitment asked or
given.)
