development program, the Marines said on Thursday.

Do search engines expedite the theft of digital images?
http://www.nytimes.com/2001/09/06/technology/circuits/06IMAG.html

by Lisa Guernsey
In the last few years search engines have started to scan the Web not only
for text but for pictures too. Today, with a few keywords, anyone on the Web
can gain access to a trove of images, from cartoons and graphics to personal
photographs and celebrity shots. So if you are one of the few Americans who
have not yet passed judgment on Jennifer Lopez's risqué dress from the 2000
Grammy Awards, you now have your chance.

Mozelle W. Thompson took a stroll last summer through the Silicon Alley
Street Fair, a celebration of New York City's dot- coms back when they had
something to celebrate. His T-shirt and shorts belied his high office as a
member of the Federal Trade Commission, the federal agency that has taken
the lead in consumer privacy protection online. He met the chief executive
of a high-technology company that gathers personal data on Internet users, a
man who was, Mr. Thompson said, "treating people as data instead of treating
people as people."

HE break-in came on June 4, 2000, at 11:37 a.m. The target was a Sun Sparc5
computer sitting in the spare bedroom of a suburban Chicago house. 
The perpetrator probed the computer's operating system for a well-known
vulnerability. When he found it, he attacked by sending a small piece of
code that exploited the weakness and opened a backdoor to the system's most
sensitive areas.

The Justice Department has agreed not to pursue subpoenas for sales records
of three bookstores, including Books & Books of Coral Gables, in a move
hailed as a victory for the privacy rights of book buyers.
The government sought access to the records as part of an investigation into
the campaign finances of Democratic Sen. Robert Torricelli of New Jersey,
according to the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression, which
assisted the bookstores in resisting the subpoenas.

People who post their resumes on Monster.com, the world's largest
job-seeking site, "face considerable threats to their privacy," according to
a watchdog group. 
In a 24-page report, The Privacy Foundation on Wednesday accused Monster of
discussing the sale of users' private data to marketers, failing to
completely remove resumes after job-seekers deleted them, and sending user
information to America Online to satisfy the terms of a business agreement. 
The group also said that resumes submitted to corporations that use
Monster's technology are "routinely sent to Monster.com without disclosure
to job seekers."

Checks, balances were needed to avert alleged game scam by Simon Worldwide
http://interactive.wsj.com/articles/SB999725603401374014.htm

by Shirley Leung
Following the Aug. 21 arrest of one of its employees in an alleged $13
million scam against McDonald's Corp., Simon Worldwide Inc. publicly called
itself a "victim."
But game-promotion firms and fraud experts said that scams of the sort that
a Simon employee allegedly perpetrated are hardly acts of God, and can
succeed only amid inadequate security. These experts said that a tight
system of checks and balances either would prevent such a scam or catch it
quickly. The alleged Simon-employee scam against McDonald's lasted six
years.

Judge hands Boeing defeat in lawsuit over Widespread loss of retiree
benefits
http://interactive.wsj.com/articles/SB999724890275254753.htm

by J. Lynn Lunsford
A judge in a federal district court in Tulsa, Okla., ruled in favor of a
class of more than 1,000 older McDonnell Douglas Corp. workers, finding that
the company, now owned by Boeing Co., closed a plant in 1993 to avoid paying
pension, health and retiree medical benefits.
Judge Sven Erik Holmes issued a 90-page opinion that found, among other
things, that "the record in this case clearly establishes liability" on the
part of the company. The judge also found that McDonnell Douglas had hired
consultants who advised it on how it could save money by selecting certain
older workers for termination in a plant closing. The Tulsa plant made tail
parts for F-15 fighters.

Omniva's e-mail 'shredder' offers new level of security

by Ellen Byron
Imagine e-mail that can self-destruct after a certain amount of time,
leaving no trace in in-boxes and servers. Omniva Policy Systems has created
software that can do just that.
The San Francisco-based firm, founded in 1999 as Disappearing Inc., has
taken on the loophole left by the deletion key: Even though an e-mail has
been deleted, it still lurks within the servers of the sender and
recipients.

Downtown commuters got an out-of-the-ordinary eyeful yesterday morning as 56
feet of the fabled World War II bomber Enola Gay rumbled past government

plane as it headed out of town, onto the Suitland Parkway and toward its
final destination, a Smithsonian storage facility.

by Lisa Jucca
STRASBOURG, Sept 6 (Reuters) - The European Parliament hit deadlock on
Thursday over a pan-European ban on unsolicited e-mail known as ``spam'',
sending legislation on the issue back to a committee for another look.
The proposals, part of planned EU laws on confidentiality of electronic data
and communication, call for the adoption across Europe of the ``opt-in''
system, where online marketing firms may send commercial e-mails only if
customers have explicitly asked them to do so.

Three men loitering outside a Phoenix, Ariz., laundry jump to attention at
the sight of a customer. 
"What do you need?" a 40-something vendor named Mario asks. "A Social
Security card? A green card? I'll give you a great deal." 
Within seconds, the deal is done: A photo and $60 is all you need to buy a
phony identity in the booming black market.
