Jim Christy wants you.

he hopes you'll want to come and work for him
at the DOD doing that computer thing. And no worries,
if you haven't crossed the line in the recent past you'll
probably get a job.

12/2006 Sony BMG, jointly operated by Sony and Bertelsmann
http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/music/drm.html
Music Group settles rootkit case. Under the agreement,
Sony BMG is prohibited from using similar DRM software in the future.
on Oct. 31, Windows Expert Mark Russinovich
revealed that Sony installed a rootkit to hide its
"XCP" DRM software on users' PCs .

new research into rootkits and stealthy malware.

6)
Ailing music biz set to relax digital restrictions
http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9588_22-6146478.html
The anti-digital rights management (DRM)
bandwagon is getting more crowded by the day. Even some major-label
executives are pushing for the right to sell digital downloads as
unprotected MP3s.
In 2007, the majors will get the message, and the DRM wall will begin
to crumble.
Why? Because they'll no longer be able to point to a growing digital
marketplace
as justification that DRM works. Revenue from digital downloads and mobile
content is expected to be flat or, in some cases, decline next year. If the
digital market does in fact stall, alternatives to DRM will look much
more attractive.

Were you stolen?
UCLA set up a Web site, http://www.identityalert.ucla.edu, with information,
and a toll-free hot line, 877-533-8082.
On Dec. 12, 800,000 people were notified that their personal
information could have been stolen from a database at UCLA in the past
year. It was the largest campus security breach in history. Thieves had hacked
into UCLA's huge database and mined Social Security numbers for months
without detection. By the third week in December, the hot line had
answered about 30,000 calls on the subject, Hampton said.
On the day that UCLA says it discovered the break-in, UCLA Today
magazine ran an article on the new director of campus computer security
under the headline, "IT Expert Protects Campus From Cyber Attacks."
The federal government requires students who apply for financial
aid to use their Social Security numbers as
identifiers, so colleges must keep them on file.
To prevent identify theft, a state law is ending that practice
in California.
