Mike Bloomberg not feeling the heat thanks to gov. Paterson’s debacle, links to MTA editorials

admin — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 15:24:25 +0000

Have you noticed the press are not asking Mike Bloomberg any tough questions? Mike Bloomberg is breathing a sigh of relief which I talked about in the YouTube Elizabeth Benjamin linked to from her blog although her piece was on Dave Paterson and my YouTube demanded Paterson step down. Bloomberg must be thrilled because all the attention is off him and City Hall and on Dave Paterson.

I gotten written up in Elizabeth Benjamin’s column in The New York Daily News and the stalking resumes because the article links to a youTube that slams Paterson but also guess who? Bloomberg.

Meet the scoundrels – 1: Lawmakers kill student MetroCards and blame MTA

http://www.nydailynews.com/opinions/2010/03/08/2010-03-08_citytime_is_money.html

Go to the above YouTube — than see the YouTube that it is linked to and go to that one. In the text portion of that one is Elizabeth Benjamin’s piece that includes me.

This YouTube is mine on Mike Bloomberg in big trouble.

Even Ed Koch was brave enough speak up against Paterson but Bloomberg seems to basking in the Paterson debacle because the heat is off him.

Based on this newest flurry of crazy cyber attacks by Bloombergforlife posing as NicoHitler, I am beginning to think that Mike is going to try and run for President and that is why he has is campaign staff at city hall and why this guy I believe is still acting on Bloomberg’s behalf. The cyber stalker even compares me to Charlie Rose in a critical way of course and that happens to be someone else on Bloomberg’s payroll that benefits big time from his friendship with Bloomberg. Look at my political art poster lampooning Mike.

Fight against cyber crime intensifies – 27 Apr 08

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 13:37:03 +0000

In recent years governments have been spending millions of dollars trying to stop people using computers to access their secrets. Now Nato has come up with a new initiative to try to prevent efforts to find out about its weapons and intelligence. The Cyber Defence Management Authority was given the green light at the latest meeting of the organisation this month in Romania. The body means Nato is now focusing its efforts on protecting the computer capabilities of its member countries – not just its own internal systems. Stephen Cole reports for Al Jazeera.

Cyber Identity Theft and How to Prevent It

admin — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 16:34:59 +0000

Cyber Identity theft has become a major problem in today’s electronic cash and Internet shopping world. It seems that whenever banking and online security advances to keep out the baddies they go and improve the types and variety of their hustles. Sometimes however it is not the breaching of electronic security but the complacency and misplaced faith of the individual that allows these transgressors to get away with your money.

While the loss of the initial money removed from your bank accounts or credit cards is enough of a shock what is often worse is the proceeding problems that you may face long after the actual crime. Things such as your credit history will have a record of unpaid bills or bad credit associated with the theft that can be far harder to overcome and create ongoing problems and stress.

The best way to combat identity theft is prevention. By being alert regarding transactions made on your credit cards or bank accounts, and taking action quickly you can limit your losses if you notice any fraudulent transactions. If you do notice any questionable transactions on your accounts then there are a few steps to take to limit your losses.

Notify your bank or credit card company’s fraudulent claims department immediately that there are debatable transactions on your account. You may be liable for the cost of fraudulent transactions on your account until the time you notify your bank so vigilance is the key, however many credit cards have a $50 maximum liability.

If necessary close your accounts and open new ones with completely new passwords etc. Request that the accounts be closed via phone initially and then in person to ensure that your request has been acted upon.

Contact the main credit reference agencies (such as Equifax, Transunion and Experian) and place a fraud alert on your file. This will help to prevent further fraud by the criminals who have your information.

Report the fraud to the authorities who will issue you with a crime number. This number is required to make any claims against insurance etc.

Advise the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and report the details of the fraud. This helps the police to keep up with any new methods being used by criminals to commit ID theft and thus helps to stamp it out.

Apart from the steps to take if you are a victim of ID theft there are some simple measures to take to help prevent it in the first place. Simple things such as never carrying your PIN number in your wallet or purse with the card are too often forgotten giving criminals easy access to your cash should you lose your wallet. Never respond to emails that require you to log into your bank account from a link within the email that appears to be from your bank. This kind of account password harvesting is known as Phishing and catches more people that it should by gaining access to their account details and then clearing the account of all funds before the owner knows it.

Cyber Identity theft and other types of fraud are all too common and will always be a danger to the electronic banking system we have today. Unfortunately that danger is the price we pay for convenience and access to our credit. Despite these risks however if you remain vigilant and take some common sense measures to protect yourself from this type of fraud you can limit your losses and sometimes escape relatively unscathed.

Cyber Security News Wrap-up for November 2009: Data privacy, NSA, Linux, Power Grid

admin — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 18:34:05 +0000

H.R.2165 – Bulk Power System Protection Act of 2009
To amend Part II of the Federal Power Act to address known cybersecurity threats to the reliability of the bulk power system, and to provide emergency authority to address future cybersecurity threats to the reliability of the bulk power system, and for other purposes.

S.1490 – Personal Data Privacy and Security Act of 2009
A bill to prevent and mitigate identity theft, to ensure privacy, to provide notice of security breaches, and to enhance criminal penalties, law enforcement assistance, and other protections against security breaches, fraudulent access, and misuse of personally identifiable information

http://www.pcworld.com/article/181549/senate_panel_approves_databreach_notification_bills.html

The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee has approved two bills that would require organizations with data breaches to report them to potential victims.

The Judiciary Committee on Thursday voted to approve both the Personal Data Privacy and Security Act and the Data Breach Notification Act by large majorities.

The Data Breach Notification Act, sponsored by Senator Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat, would require U.S. agencies and businesses that engage in interstate commerce to report data breaches to victims whose personal information “has been, or is reasonably believed to have been, accessed, or acquired.”

Feinstein’s bill would also require agencies and businesses to report large data breaches to the U.S. Secret Service

The Personal Data Privacy and Security Act would also require that organizations that maintain personal data give notice to potential victims and law-enforcement authorities when they have a data breach. It would increase criminal penalties for electronic-data theft and allow people to have access to, and correct, personal data held by commercial data brokers.

The second bill, sponsored by Senator Patrick Leahy, the Judiciary Committee chairman and a Vermont Democrat, would also require the U.S. government to establish rules protecting privacy and security when it uses information from commercial data brokers.

Several tech groups have called for the U.S. Congress to pass national data-breach notification legislation. Since a series of high-profile data breaches in early 2005, about 45 states have passed data-breach notification laws.

It’s difficult for companies to comply with the separate state laws, officials from cybersecurity product vendor Symantec have said.

Symantec CEO Enrique Salem sent a letter to the committee Wednesday in support of the Leahy data-breach bill.

The Leahy bill “is a major step forward towards enacting a comprehensive, uniform national framework to better prevent breaches of sensitive consumer information as well as setting a clear standard for effective notification should a breach occur,” Salem wrote.

Symantec supports the bill’s language saying that if personal data is encrypted or otherwise rendered unusable, organizations don’t have to report the data breach, the letter said. The committee has recognized “there are widely accepted industry best practices and standards for data security that companies can look to as a road map for compliance when protecting electronic data,” Salem wrote.

The Business Software Alliance, a trade group, also praised the committee for approving both bills.

“In recent years, hundreds of millions of individual records containing sensitive personal information have been involved in computer security breaches,” BSA President and CEO Robert Holleyman said in a statement. “The frequency and severity of data breaches have prompted more than 45 states to pass data security laws, creating a confusing patchwork quilt of regulations.”

Both bills now head to the full Senate for votes. The timeline for action in the Senate is unclear.

YouTube legal dept has a form to fill out re: Cyber Stalkers, harassment

admin — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 05:22:58 +0000

If you are harassed on YouTube or your identity stolen please fill out this form.
.

http://www.youtube.com/safety_help

I have also contacted the NYPD, lawyers as well as the legal dept of Google and YouTube.

Harassment on the computer or via email and phone lines is called aggravated harassment which is more serious…

I am looking in to criminal and also civil action…

Harassment on the computer or phones lines is aggravated which is serious but stealing identities of fellow YouTubers and stealing an identity of a city council member, Tony Avella and impersonating him on YouTube is perhaps even more serious. The first contact was the stolen identity Tony Avella asking me why I had not voted for him.

There is more to this story and other concerns regarding harassment. So go to the form and look at how YouTube defines harassment which is far more broad than I have described to you.

If someone continues to contact you after you have asked them to stop it is harassment and you need to go to the form and start filling it out immediately. If you are made to feel uncomfortable again go to the form because they are many behaviors that YouTube describes as harassment and unacceptable including rude behavior.

Please note I was mysteriously “Banned from YouTubeland” for 28 hours before the election which was extremely close rather than the land slide win predicted by the propaganda machine.

Here is the link to the YouTube on being banned and the artilce I wrote about how I got banned all 334 YouTubes removed from YouTube and sites, blogs all around the world and how Google restored my YouTubes and apologized.http://suzannahbtroy.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-youtube-banned-me-and-my-work-was.html
