Une trop grande quantité d'informations à traiter Présentée comme une solution « tout-en-un » censée faire baisser la criminalité en général, la vidéosurveillance ne répond en fait adéquatement à aucun désordre en particulier. Paradoxalement cependant, c'est surtout le fait de prêter à la vidéosurveillance une efficacité automatique qui la rend complètement inopérante.

More training was needed for officers, he said. Often they do not want to find CCTV images "because it's hard work". Sometimes the police did not bother inquiring beyond local councils to find out whether CCTV cameras monitored a particular street incident. "CCTV operators need feedback.
Jihadis Search for Intelligence Penetration on Jihadi Website Fo
• Security agents, having established a connection with the target, will enhance the relationship in the forums by supporting the target’s postings and by sending him private emails. • Through such relationships, the agents will obtain the names of other jihadis from the target. • Expressing opinions diametrically opposed to those found acceptable by Salafi-Jihadis, thus drawing them out as they rebuke or criticize the posting. • Building trust with the target by pretending to help the cause. • Posting subjects designed to attract the targeted jihadi.

Forumite al-Taer al-Maymoon provides a handy checklist of telltale signs to identify infiltrating agents. Agents exaggerate their praise of al-Qaeda, exalt the blameless characters of AQ ideologues, and 'often pose diverse questions on jihadi topics'. That last alone tells us a lot about how narrow discourse is in these web fora. A member of the hanein.info forum, Qotoz, lists the technical ways in which agents snare jihadis, and asserts that human methods include 'brainwashing' participants.
Cyber security moves up the terrorism agenda
Relationships between terrorism and insurance are not exactly new to 2009 but a recent story from Lloyds of London is the first public statement I've seen of the potential impact of 'cyber terrorism' on insurance premiums, along the trajectory Robb describes. Cyberspace is a growing source of exposures for companies and governmental institutions and that includes cyber terrorism and cyber extortion, says Paul Bantick, professional liability underwriter at Lloyd's insurer Beazley. A terrorism tax is an accumulation of excess costs inflicted on a city’s stakeholders by acts of terrorism.

Uighurs Hack Back - Current Intelligence - The Complex Terrain L
Islamist hackers are thought to be behind a more serious distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack on Kosavar newspaper, The Express , in response to the paper's coverage of the US trial of Hysen Sherifi, an ethnic Albanian accused of terrorism offences. Disruptions to Armenian government and high-profile private websites have been blamed on Azeri and Turkish hackers , and are probably related to the long-running dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh. Twitter and other social networking sites were laid low after hackers tried to drive Georgian blogger, CYXYMU, off the web. Shortly thereafter, the non-profit US Cyber Consequences Unit released a report heavily implicating Russian criminals in the cyberattacks against Georgia in 2008. In China, the Uighur 'Spy HackerZ' group is suspected of defacing a number of local government websites , leaving messages in support of Uighurs and Muslims.

FREEradicals - What News of the UK Cyber Strategy?
Back in June 2009, the UK launched its Cyber Security Strategy , which covered a wide range of topics but was in part intended to counter terrorist use of cyberspace, including radicalisation. The reform it offered included the creation of two new bodies charged with responsibility in this field. The first, an Office of Cyber Security (OCS), would oversee the whole of the Government's cyber security strategy and foreign co-operation, working from within the Cabinet Office. The second, a Cyber Security Operations Centre (CSOC) , would be based at GCHQ in Cheltenham, hub of the UK's SIGINT capability. This would monitor internet 'health', conduct attack analysis, and develop appropriate responses, as well as inform the public and industry about online security risks.
Analysis by the Security Service (MI5) of the emails suggested the words "weak and difficult to convince" referred to a low-concentration explosive liquid, and "crystal clear" to other chemicals – despite being used in the context of a normal conversation about women, Mr Hermer said. In putting such an interpretation on "entirely innocuous" emails, the Government was guilty of imposing a hidden meaning where there was none, Mr Hermer said. Richard Hermer QC, for XC, criticised the case against his client and said it contained "not one jot of evidence" linking him to bomb-making. The Government's evidence file was made up of eight emails sent or received between December last year and April, markings on an A-Z, and observations of XC meeting with friends, he said. "If you look for meaning and that's the purpose for which you do it, that's bias.

FREEradicals - Is the UK Safer Now, Or Not?
I agree with Paul Wilkinson, widely quoted across the news and intahwebs, who says it is a 'very cautious, very tentative reduction'. It does sit slightly at odds with MI5 boss Jonathan Evans ' statement in January that two thousand terrorism suspects were under constant surveillance. Can we assume that the situation is now firmly in hand? The question is a straw man.
The hacker always find ways into systems but will publish his, and increasingly her, results freely online. As a symbiotic relationship it works well, and the end result is a more secure cyberspatial environment for us all. Some terrorists may be hackers, and vice versa also, but generally there are far more differences than there are similarities. Most hackers do not do things for personal gain, although there are criminals within the community. Most hackers are doing things for social benefit, a utopia-tinted view of a future cyberspace in which we can all develop and evolve.

The Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) has released the transcripts from a May 2009 workshop it held in Perth on Countering Online Radicalisation in Australia . In March, ASPI co-authored with the Rajaratnam School of International Studies (RSIS), Countering Internet Radicalisation in Southeast Asia , the conclusions of which broadly agreed with our own research presented earlier this year. Australia has been one of the most proactive democracies in the world in implementing network-level filtering of a variety of content types .

The Twin Towers, which were destroyed in the 9/11 attack, took down a major portion of the U.S. infrastructure at the same time. The capability and coverage of cloud-based mega-hubs would easily dwarf hundreds of Twin Tower-like operations. Although some redundancy would likely exist – hopefully located in places safe from disasters – should a hub be destroyed, it could likely take down a significant portion of the country it supported at the same time. Security expert Bruce Schneier rightly criticises this assertion on the basis that 9/11 did not in fact render US infrastructure incapable.
