InfoSec News: DeepSec 2010 - Call for Papers and Experts: Forwarded from: DeepSec Conference <deepsec (at) deepsec.net>
== Call for Papers and Experts === DeepSec In-Depth Security Conference 2010 - Quad Core, the fourth DeepSec
Another year has passed and another Call for Papers is out. The next DeepSec conference will be in Vienna from November 23rd to 26th 2010 and we invite you to send your submission for conference talks and workshops. Additionally we call for submisison from young security researchers of 21 years and younger for exhibits of their own research during the conference. The deadline for submissions is July 31 2010.
== Topics ==
The DeepSec 2010 focuses heavily on mobile security. Any gadget that you carry with you or that is used by roadwarriors comes under scrutiny. This includes networked resources intended for the mobile audience and modern nomads as well. On top of that we like to hear about the security of next generation infrastructure - IPv6, cloud computing and services, virtualization technologies, in short everything that should keep us online and connected for the next decades. We want to get a glimpse into the future based on the problems of today.
Please do not submit specific single exploits (which might be fixed by the time of the conference) and "yet-another-XYZ-hack", script kiddy content or similar "breakthroughs". Save your effort for the Nobel prize. Exploit frameworks, general approaches, "defective by design" or "defective by implementation" and high impact exploits have a much higher chance to get accepted. ;-)
- AJAX/Web2.0/JavaScript Security - Cloud Computing - Code Analysis - Cryptographical Weaknesses - Digital Espionage - Digital Forensics - e-Voting - Failure and Fixes of all kinds - Gadgets (networked and mobile) - Incident Response - Malware Research - Messaging Technologies - Network Protocols - Operating Systems - Patch & Upgrade Management - Secure Software Development - Security Management - Social Engineering - Virtualisation - VoIP Technology - Web Security - Wireless Technology
Please note, that we are a non-product, non-vendor biased security conference and do not welcome vendor pitches in the conference talks or trainings. We will provide an opportunity for vendor self presentation through sponsorship and vendor booths in the conference lounge, where coffee and snacks will be served during the breaks.

'Activist' UCSD professor facing unusual scrutiny

InfoSec News: 'Activist' UCSD professor facing unusual scrutiny: http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/apr/06/activist-ucsd-professor-facing-unusual-scrutiny/
By Eleanor Yang Su Union-Tribune Staff Writer April 6, 2010
UCSD professor Ricardo Dominguez is facing unusual scrutiny from campus police and auditors for his involvement in two divisive projects -- one that helps migrants find water stored along the border and another that disrupted the UC president's Web site through a virtual sit-in.
Dominguez, 50, is a self-described activist and new media artist who is accustomed to stirring up controversy. But he said he's troubled that his tenured status may be revoked for work that promotes his academic specialty of electronic civil disobedience.
His supporters said Dominguez's academic freedom is being trampled because he targeted administrators last month over its financial management. The sympathizers include coalitions of more than 50 faculty members at the University of California San Diego.
Others, including three Republican congressmen who have written to UCSD Chancellor Marye Anne Fox, said Dominguez should not be using taxpayer money to develop programs that aid illegal immigrants.
Last week, UCSD police questioned Dominguez about whether he committed a crime with the virtual sit-in.

Romania Swoops In on 70 Cybertheft Suspects

InfoSec News: Romania Swoops In on 70 Cybertheft Suspects: http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/04/romania-cyber-thieves
By Kim Zetter Threat Level Wired.com April 7, 2010
Romanian police arrested 70 suspects Tuesday who they claim were involved in eBay scams and other cybercrimes since 2006.
Believed to be members of three separate gangs, the scammers used phishing attacks to get the login credentials of eBay account holders, then used the accounts to auction nonexistent goods. Police have identified approximately 800 victims who sent money for non-existent Rolex watches, cars, yachts, private airplanes and other luxury goods. Buyers from around the world lost an estimated $1 million after they sent money for winning auctions, but never received goods. According to one Romanian news source, an American buyer paid about $90,000 for a luxury aircraft in one auction.
The crooks allegedly operated in Austria, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States. Police have so far recovered only a small, undetermined amount of money in the raids. Romanian authorities posted a video of one of the police raids on YouTube [1].
Suspects in several countries reportedly exchanged homes, cars and phone cards among themselves.
