  • 2010 Threat Predictions by Mcafee Labs
    Report 2010 Threat Predictions By McAfee Labs Report 2010 Threat Predictions McAfee Labs foresees an increase in threats related to social networking sites, banking security, and botnets, as well as attacks targeting users, businesses, and applications. However, in 2010 we expect to see an increase in the effectiveness of law enforcement to fight back against cybercrime. • Social networking sites such as Facebook will face more sophisticated threats as the number of users grows. • The explosion of applications on Facebook and other services will be an ideal vector for cybercriminals, who will take advantage of friends trusting friends to click links they might otherwise treat cautiously. • HTML 5 will blur the line between desktop and online applications. This, along with the release of Google Chrome OS, will create another opportunity for malware writers to prey on users. • Email attachments have delivered malware for years, yet the increasing number of attacks targeted at corporations, journalists, and individual users often fool them into downloading Trojans and other malware. • Cybercriminals have long picked on Microsoft products due to their popularity. In 2010, we anticipate Adobe software, especially Acrobat Reader and Flash, will take the top spot. • Banking Trojans will become more clever, sometimes interrupting a legitimate transaction to make an unauthorized withdrawal. • Botnets are the leading infrastructure for cybercriminals, used for actions from spamming to identity theft. Recent successes in shutting down botnets will force their controllers to switch to alternate, less vulnerable methods of command, including peer-to-peer setups. • In spite of the worldwide scope of botnets, we anticipate even more successes in the fight against all forms of cybercrime in 2010.

  • Alan Ralsky - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 2
    Alan Ralsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 2 Alan Ralsky From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Alan Ralsky (born c. 1945) is an American convicted fraudster, most well-known for his activities as a spammer. Contents 1 Spamming 2 Legal 3 References 4 External links Spamming According to experts in the field, Ralsky is one of the most prolific sources of junk e-mail worldwide. Unlike most spammers, he has provided interviews to various newspapers, although he claimed to be a commercial e-mailer rather than a spammer. He stated that his was a legitimate business which complied with all laws.[1] (http://www.cmsconnect.com/News/CMSInPrint/DN-020804-pg2.htm) Ralsky apparently began his spamming career when his licenses to sell insurance were revoked in Michigan and Illinois in 1996.[2] (http://www.cmsconnect.com/News/CMSInPrint/DN-020804-pg2.htm) He gained much of his notoriety following a December 2002 interview with The Detroit News. The article was soon posted to Slashdot and the address of his newly built home was posted to Slashdot not long after that. Hundreds of Slashdot readers then searched the Internet for advertising mailing lists and free catalogs and signed him up for them. As a result, he was inundated with junk mail. In a Detroit Free Press article on December 6, 2002, he is quoted as saying "They've signed me up for every advertising campaign and mailing list there is … These people are out of their minds. They're harassing me". Legal In 1992 he served a fifty-day sentence for selling unregistered securities.[3] (http://www.freep.com/money/tech/mwend22_20021122.htm) On August 7, 1995, he pled guilty to felony bank fraud in Ohio.[4] (http://www.spamhaus.org/rokso/evidence.lasso? rokso_id=ROK5535).

  • Opting out of Spam: a Domain Level Do-Not-Spam Registry
    Opting Out of Spam: A Domain Level Do-Not-Spam Registry Rebecca Bolint INTRODUCTION Spain, or unsolicited commercial email,' drastically lowers the costs of advertising directly to prospective consumers by exploiting open electronic mail protocols. And it has become an obnoxious big business. Markets, norms, and technological measures 2 have all failed to change sufficiently the economics of the spain business model. Spare is clogging businesses' servers and users' inboxes, and costing too much money and time in return for too little benefit. This Note argues that despite widespread criticism, current federal spain law has in fact effectively targeted the most egregious senders. But it has also created an entitlement to send spam--one free message-before a recipient's wish to avoid spain must be honored. This reverses the entitlement set in other media and ignores consumer demand for privacy and a Do-Not-Call Registry for email. Part I of this Note describes spain, its scale, and its costs and benefits. Part II analyzes attempts to use the market and state legislation to fix the problem. It explains why these efforts failed, and why federal legislation was required. Part III outlines the successes of CAN-SPAM, the groundbreaking federal spain law, as well as the interlocking set of state laws used to combat spainmers. Part IV compares spain law to policies addressing unsolicited commercial speech in other media and proposes a policy suggested in CAN-SPAM, but ultimately overlooked: a Do-Not-Call Registry for email. This Note concludes that a Do- Not-Spain Registry balances the easy detection of a strict liability rule with the t Yale Law School, J.D.

  • New York Stock Broker Sentenced to Prison in International Stock Fraud Scheme
    Sep 07, 2011 04:15 EDT New York Stock Broker Sentenced to Prison in International Stock Fraud Scheme Tuesday, September 6, 2011 WASHINGTON - A New York stock broker was sentenced today to 24 months in prison for his role in a wide-ranging international stock fraud scheme involving the illegal use of bulk commercial emails, or “spamming,” to promote thinly-traded Chinese penny stocks, announced A ssistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade for the Eastern District of Michigan. Gregg M. S. Berger, 47, of New York, N.Y., was ordered by U.S. District Judge Marianne O. Battani in Detroit to serve three years of supervised release following his prison term. Berger agreed to forfeit $600,000 to the United States. According to court documents, Berger conspired with Alan Ralsky, Francis Tribble, How Wai John Hui, Scott Bradley and others to carry out a sophisticated stock fraud scheme from January 2005 through December 2007. Ralsky, Tribble, Hui and Bradley have all been convicted and sentenced for their roles in the scheme. “Mr. Berger used his position as a stock broker to generate more than $30 million in illegal proceeds for his co-conspirators, and more than half a million dollars for himself,” said Assistant Attorney General Breuer. “Today’s sentence reflects our sustained commitment to ensuring the integrity of our financial markets, and to holding accountable those who try to manipulate them.” “Schemes that manipulate stock prices undermine public confidence in the stock market, and can have serious impact on our economy,” said U.S.
