September 10, VNUNET - Flaw affects Windows 98 and all subsequent versions
of the operating system.
A newly identified security flaw in Microsoft Windows could let attackers
delete digital certificates and compromise e-commerce strategies. Security
experts said firms should ensure they download the patch - available at the
Web address below. However, they pointed out that a similar flaw affecting
certificates in Internet Explorer's implementation of SSL does not yet have
a patch, leaving some firms exposed. Source:

September 10, The Toronto Star - 75% of downtown Toronto wireless systems
open to attack.
A local consulting firm launched a controversial Web site yesterday that
shows gaping security holes in hundreds of wireless networks throughout the
downtown core, including many in the financial district and some government
and university areas. The consulting firm, irreverently called IpEverywhere,
says about 75 per cent of the more than 1,000 downtown wireless networks it
has detected so far have no evidence of security and leave organizations
wide open to information theft, data destruction, networking spamming and
other cyber attacks.
