It would also speed up booking and flight scheduling for if use din conjunction with their automated booking and ticketing system it would indeed lessen the length of lines at airports. The most significant problem with RFID is that it is an active system that can be accessed, re-programmed and cloned into a number of identical copies, defeating the security purpose it was said to defeat. RFID tags unlike passive tags are easier to re-program for a user with the right tool can detect the needed information from a passport, encode it onto a new one and then be off on his way without anybody knowing about it. Tools and methods are widely available to programmers and hackers so the high-tech passport is truly just another waste of taxpayer money.

Europe has started to issue RFID passports that have unique codes that identify it as a fingerprint. The only problem is that the technology also opens a whole new avenue for hackers for a well-equipped person can remotely detect a passport with the right equipment from a distance without that person even knowing the data exchange. The move by the UK to move into high-tech passports was to lessen eh time it took to verify the true identity of the holders and of the passport itself. Fake passports would have none of the pre-set information encoded from the issuing office so they can easily be detected and security does the rest.

Four employees of a private Israeli Investigation Agency were found guilty to have employed Spyware to steal information from companies.

This is a common practice of investigation agencies who regularly conduct espionage on rival firms of customers, selling the information they gather to the highest bidder. Corporate espionage is increasing as much as Cybercrime and is forcing many governments to take notice. This incident highlights the need for better protection from cyber criminals in the form of intrusion prevention systems and antivirus software. The authors of the Trojan horse program were sentenced to two and four years of jail time plus hefty fines.

They also report that the amount of malware has increased significantly with them growing ever complex making it harder for industry to cope unless there is mass infections. The initial detection of a threat mobilizes emergency centers that these software company’s have who work against the clock to provide updates to their many registered subscribers which they send updates to once they have the cure. They also send out updates to virus signature databases which allows the anti-virus, Intrusion detection and Prevention Systems to counter attacks by letting them recognize them hopefully in time to prevent mass infection.

Symantec Inc., one of the industry’s leaders in virus and internet protection software has released their analyses of malware activities that wanted to steal personal information for the year 2007.

This trend is quite alarming for cyber attacks have grown considerably that more and more people are falling victim to such attacks. The company conducts their own hacker communications analyses and other intelligence by analyzing information they set in honey-pots (purposely set traps to track hacker activities) and the results their software sends in to them for analyses.
