US Justice Department free to track mobile phone users

The American Civil Liberties Union has revealed that the FBI no longer feels the need for judicial or operator oversight when deploying base station-faking technology to detect mobile phones.

This capability is nothing new, but previously it was assumed that a warrant was needed before the FBI started tracking phones and that the operator would need to be informed. These are optimistic assumptions in this age of fear embodied in the USA’s Patriot* Act, as shown in the documents obtained by the ACLU. Instead the FBI just gets a pen-trap order, granted under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, and Bob’s your uncle. Read more »

你今天还在喝牛奶吗

大概是由于三鹿奶粉事件的影响,一夜之间,全国人民得了“恐奶症”许多人不敢再给宝宝喝配方奶粉,改喝米汤。许多人本来已习惯早餐喝一杯牛奶,也改喝自制豆浆了。豆浆机卖到脱销。不过,配方奶粉仍然是母乳的最佳替代品,改用米汤或其他食品会让婴儿营养不良。对成人来说,牛奶并非必需品,不喝也未尝不可,但是牛奶的营养价值难以被其他食品取代。比如豆浆蛋白质的品质就不如牛奶蛋白质的,含钙量也不及牛奶。

在短暂的恐慌过后,我们的日常生活仍然难以离开乳制品。国产乳业的整体声誉恐怕一时很难挽回,奶粉还有进口货可供选择,但是要喝液态奶还是只能在国货中取舍。 Read more »

“政府请人告自己”就能证明依法行政吗?

这绝对是一场罕见的民告官:政府出钱请人告自己———原来,围绕强制拆迁后的相关补偿问题,成都市成华区政府与市民古魁形成的纠纷一直未解决。成华区政府认为,既然各说各有理,还不如上法院解决。古魁没钱,成华区政府就借给了他10万元的律师启动费。(11月13日《南方周末》)

这样吊诡至极的民告官,无疑有着极大值得探究的空间———政府为何会大度到如此匪夷所思之境?这到底能不能算是依法行政的重大标本?寄身于法律平台之后,是否就能够真正求得公平与公正呢?

很有必要审视一下“政府花钱请人告自己”的细节前提。原来,古魁是一介“刁民”。为了与当地政府对着干,他竟然学习了爆破和远程发射技术,扬言要炸掉成华区政府,还买了两辆越野车,就为了撞区政府领导。不论是其言论,还是行为,都已经事实上威胁到他人安全甚至是公共安全。然而,面对这样的“危险人物”,政府仍然极其大度地进行“积极引导”,对此,我们不禁要问,这到底是对法律的漠视还是信仰? Read more »

网络安全应该从管理还是技术入手?

随着网络发展,网络安全一直成为我们的一块心病。虽然我们已经建立一套具备报警、预警、分析、审计、监测等全面功能的网络安全系统,在技术角度上已 经实现了巨大进步,也为政府和企业在构建网络安全体系方面提供了更加多样化的选择;但是,网络面临的威胁却并未随着技术的进步而有所抑制,反而使矛盾更加 突出,从层出不穷的网络犯罪到日益猖獗的黑客攻击,似乎网络世界正面临着前所未有的挑战。网络安全问题的日益突出,促使网络安全企业不断采用最新安全技 术,不断推出满足用户需求、具有时代特色的安全产品,也进一步促进了网络安全技术的发展。

在刚刚闭幕的新安全威胁的年会上,并发布了年度攻击预测报告:未来一年电脑领域将出现更多的恶意软件、僵尸网络、对VOIP系统的攻击、电脑战。可 见网络安全令人担忧,网络发展到今天,分分秒秒都有可能你的计算机受到攻击或窃取。我们只有在远离网络攻击、打击计算机领域犯罪方面,无论是互联网个人用 户,还是商务企业、政府以及科技厂商,应联合起来共同应对。 Read more »
