RCMP not charging rights watchdog over hacking allegations

InfoSec News: RCMP not charging rights watchdog over hacking allegations: http://www.nationalpost.com/news/canada/story.html?id=977900
By Joseph Brean National Post November 20, 2008
The RCMP will not pursue charges against the Canadian Human Rights Commission over allegations that its investigators hacked an Ottawa woman's wireless internet account to conceal their identity on websites under investigation for hate speech, the National Post has learned.
A parallel investigation of the same incident by the Privacy Commissioner remains ongoing.
The complaint arose in March at the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal hate speech prosecution of Marc Lemire, webmaster of freedomsite.org, when his legal team brought a subpoena against internet service provider Bell Canada.
They were seeking the identity of whoever logged on to the neo-Nazi website stormfront.org under the name "Jadewarr" in December, 2006, just as bloggers were using technical data to reveal "Jadewarr" as the online pseudonym of Dean Steacy, a lead hate speech investigator at the CHRC. Mr. Steacy later acknowledged this under oath.
In his testimony, Alain Monfette, director of Bell Canada's law enforcement support team, read out the name and address of a woman, coincidentally a Bell Canada employee, whose computer IP address matched that of Jadewarr at the time in question, according to the Florida-based owner of stormfront.org, Don Black.
Neither the CHRC lawyers nor Mr. Lemire's team had ever heard of her. She has no connection to CHRC investigators, but she did have a laptop computer with a wireless connection, and the address Mr. Monfette gave for her apartment in downtown Ottawa is near the CHRC offices.
This led to speculation that CHRC staff were illegally using an innocent woman's internet account to hide behind her identity when investigating target websites, a claim Mr. Lemire made in a formal complaint to police, while also posting detailed photographs and schematics of her apartment building. That investigation is now concluded without charges.

Arrest of Interpol official sparks security breach concerns

InfoSec News: Arrest of Interpol official sparks security breach concerns: http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/americas/11/19/mexico.arrest/
MEXICO CITY, Mexico CNN Nov 19, 2008
A vicious turf war between drug cartels and Mexican authorities that has left as many as 4,300 dead so far this year may have caused a breach in the internal security systems of Interpol, the international police organization.
Interpol, which is based in France, announced Wednesday it is sending a team of investigators to Mexico to investigate the possibility that its communications systems and databases are not being used for legitimate law enforcement purposes. The prospect was raised after the arrest of the top official working with the agency in the country.
Ricardo Gutierrez Vargas, director for International Police Affairs at Mexico's Federal Investigative Agency and the head of Mexico's Interpol office, was placed under house arrest Sunday, the attorney general's office said Tuesday.
More than 30 officials have been arrested since July in connection with the anti-corruption Operation Limpieza, an ongoing investigation into information leaks by law enforcement officials to drug traffickers, said Niverda Amado, a government press secretary in Mexico City.

Standards group debates DNS protection

DNSSEC or not DNSSEC?

One option is for the IETF to do nothing about the Kaminsky bug. Some participants at the DNS Extensions working group meeting this week referred to all of the proposals as a "hack" and argued against spending time developing one of them into a standard because it could delay DNSSEC deployment.
