The Egyptian government closed Al Jazeera’s Cairo bureau early Sunday, pulled its reporters credentials and blocked the network’s TV signal in Egypt, the network said. “Our staff has packed up our entire office in the downtown bureau and has relocated,” says a producer in an audio report filed here . “We are doing phone interviews. No Al Jazeera staff are going to be using their names anymore on television.” Later in the day, Al Jazeera was able to reestablish a live picture over Tahrir Square, but staff continued to report live on the phone, not revealing their names or locations in the city. Meanwhile, many reporters are still tweeting with their names.

Jan 31 (Reuters) - Egyptian protesters were camped out in central Cairo on Monday and vowed to stay until they had toppled President Hosni Mubarak, whose fate appeared to hang on the military as pressure mounted from the street and abroad. If Mubarak does cling to power, investors will reprice Egyptian and regional assets to brace for weeks, months or possibly years of heightened political risk. * BP (BP.L: Quote ) -- has invested over $17 billion in Egypt, with an annual investment of $1 billion since 2007. BP and partners have produced more than 40 percent of the country's domestic gas and has produced almost 40 percent of Egypt's entire oil production.
Al Jazeera has expressed its “utter disappointment” with the blockage of its signal on Nilesat and sees this as a further attempt to block its reporting out of Egypt. The news network said on Sunday that the move was a reaction to the popularity of its wide coverage of the events in Egypt. On its bureau in Cairo being closed earlier by the Egyptian government, the network said it retained the right to take any available legal measures to reverse the move. “Regardless of the multiple attempts by the Egyptian authorities to deter and impede our reporting, Al Jazeera continues its comprehensive coverage of the landmark events unfolding in Egypt,” Wadah Khanfar, the news organisations's director general said.

Press Releases - Proposal for a Directive on attacks against information systems, repealing Framework Decision 2005/222/JHA
In recent years, the number of attacks against information systems (IT systems) – or, in common words, the illegal entering of or tampering with information systems - has risen steadily in Europe. Moreover, previously unknown large-scale and dangerous attacks against the information systems of companies, such as banks, the public sector and even the military, have been observed in the Member States and other countries. New concerns, such as the massive spread of malicious software creating 'botnets' - networks of infected computers that can be remotely controlled to stage large-scale, coordinated attacks - have emerged. What is a botnet? The term botnet indicates a network of computers that have been infected by malicious software (computer virus). Such network of compromised computers ('zombies') may be activated to perform specific actions such as attacks against information systems (cyber attacks).
