The Guardian (UK) is carrying a story by Duncan Campbell of PC Pro Magazine on Operation Ore, a major police investigation aimed at catching online paedophiles. This has resulted in several high profile arrests, such as those of Pete Townshend and Robert Del Naja, while attracting significant press attention. Yet, the reality of the investigation appears to be one of credit card fraud, wrongful accusations and ignorance leading to a significant number of the 7,292 people on the list being wrongfully accused of a very emotive crime. There have also been 39 suicides and a number of other people on the list will probably never be investigated.
It seems to me this case highlights flaws inherent in the way law enforcement agencies handle evidence that only a small minority of front line officers fully understand. Is this what you take from it?

The fake boarding pass guy is at it again. His blog shows a demonstration phishing website that is able to bypass the SiteKey authentication system used by Bank of America, Fidelity, and Yahoo. Users will be shown their security image, even though they're not visiting the authentic websites. Scary stuff!.

From a blog post on DLTV:
This time the target was the Xbox 360 HD DVD add on. Geremia on
Doom9 forums has started a thread on how he has obtained the Volume ID without AACS authentication. With the aid of others like Arnezami they have managed to patch the Xbox 360 HD DVD add on.
and later in the same article:
It appears that XT5 has released a application that allows the Volume ID to be read without the need to rewrite the firmware. This would mean that anyone could simply plug in the HD DVD drive and obtain the Volume ID from any HD DVD without the hassle of flashing it.
