A new technique has been demonstrated by two security researchers to explain the Internet’s biggest security hole. The method exploits the Internet routing protocol BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) and allows someone (obviously an attacker) to intercept Internet traffic anywhere in the globe. The captured information can easily be modified before it reaches its destination. Click here to read the entire story.

"It's a huge issue. It's at least as big an issue as the DNS issue, if not bigger," said Peiter "Mudge" Zatko, noted computer security expert and former member of the L0pht hacking group, who testified to Congress in 1998 that he could bring down the internet in 30 minutes using a similar BGP attack, and disclosed privately to government agents how BGP could also be exploited to eavesdrop. "I went around screaming my head about this about ten or twelve years ago.... We described this to intelligence agencies and to the National Security Council, in detail." – Wired Blog.

Yesterday, NASA confirmed that a computer virus was found on a laptop aboard the International Space Station (IIS) which then went on to infect nearlyt 50 computers. Kelly Humphries, NASA’s spokesperson said that, “It's not the first virus we've seen on the station," "It's not a common occurrence by any means." Humphries has also confirmed that the virus was successfully removed with anti-virus software and posed no threats to ISS systems or operations. Congrats!

Though NASA declined to disclose any detailed info about the virus, SpaceRef.com reported that the virus was the W32.Gamming.AG worm. This game-oriented deadly virus gets installed and steals login information. So, one of the astronauts was gaming onboard the IIS? “The SpaceRef report suggested that a flash card or USB drive brought on board by an astronaut may have been the source of the laptop infection.” – InformationWeek.

On February 17 2009 the United States will force its people to watch HDTV! Will this be accepted? Looks like there won’t be much choice. They’ll be switching to digital television signals and getting rid of all analogue TV signals. This is a technical advancement with better picture and sound quality but what about the television sets? How will this effect you if you live in the US? Mike Santini from Techware Labs has published an editorial that explains what you need to know.

“We are switching because digital is better. Really -That's why! Digital broadcasting allows for significantly better picture and sound. Digital also allows for what is called multicasting.”

Is this the perfect work partner, which can convert your verbal ideas into document? Dragon NaturallySpeaking is software that allows you to talk at your PC and and then it converts your words into a document. Earlier versions were frustrating – they weren’t able to differentiate many words, but according to PCMech the problem has been solved in the latest, version 10. The new version is apparently so advanced that it recognizes words with 98%accuracy. Is this true? Is this a personal assistant who can write documents for just $99?! – PC Mech

“For those not familiar with the product, Dragon NaturallySpeaking is a software product that allows you to speak to your computer (via microphone obviously) and transcribe everything you say into a document.”
