AFAIK Truecrypt can use a 'normal' file as a key. So you can actually use a 700mb file as a key. So.. 1) Burn 700mb of random data on the cd 2) make a HUGE scratch (just one) that destroys the foil on the cd 3) put the cd in a spindle with other cd's and something that could've caused that scratch in between (metal shaving, etc) 4) ??? 5) profit Recovering full 700mb should be hard enough for them too. especially with random data, where they cannot predict the missing data. And with a file so large, the 'missing' part will be large enough to make brute-forcing useless.

Submission + - Spyware in BlackBerry updates (Etisalat) (theregister.co.uk)

mulaz writes: "An update pushed out to BlackBerry users on the Etisalat network in the United Arab Emirates appears to contain remotely-triggered spyware that allows the interception of messages and emails, as well as crippling battery life.

Sent out as a WAP Push message, the update installs a Java file that one curious customer decided to take a closer look at, only to discover an application intended to intercept both email and text messages, sending a copy to an Etisalat server without the user being aware of anything beyond a slightly excessive battery drain.
