<description><![CDATA[Cyber attacks are on the rise in critical infrastructure companies, a new report shows.(Credit:CSIS/McAfee)Cyber attacks on critical infrastructure companies are on the rise, with a jump in extortion attempts and malware designed to sabotage systems, like Stuxnet, according to a new report. While attacks are increasing, many companies aren't doing enough to protect their systems and are instead rushing to adopt new technologies--such as Smart Grid--without ensuring they adequately secure against cyber attacks, concludes &quot;In the Dark: Crucial Industries Confront Cyberattacks.&quot;  The report, due to be released on Tuesday, was commissioned by McAfee and written by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). It includes results from an electronic survey of 200 IT security executives from firms that provide oil, gas, electricity, water, and sewage services in 14 countries during the last quarter of 2010. Security at power companies has been a concern for decades, but the issue rose to prominence with the emergence last year of the Stuxnet malware, which exploits holes in Windows systems and targets a specific Siemens SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) program with sabotage. After dissecting the malware, experts say they believe it was written to target nuclear facilities in Iran.  &quot;Stuxnet changed the game in our awareness,&quot; Phyllis Schneck, vice president and chief technology officer for public sector at McAfee, said in an interview. &quot;Attacks are being developed directly for the capability of creating events on a physical infrastructure.&quot;  About 70 percent of the survey respondents said they frequently found malware designed to sabotage their systems during 2010, and nearly half of those in the electric industry said they found Stuxnet on their systems. It was unknown if any of the systems were impacted as a result of Stuxnet, but close to 60 percent said their firms had launched special security audits because of the malware.  The threat from sabotage includes electrical smart grids, which are being quickly adopted without adequate security measures in place, according to the U.S. Government Accountability Office and independent security experts. Fifty-six percent of the respondents whose companies are planning new smart grid systems also plan to connect to the consumer over the Internet. But only two-thirds have adopted special security measures for the smart grid controls, the report said. &quot;We could end up with a grid connected to peoples' homes that is not properly secured from a cyber attack,&quot; said Schneck. &quot;If that system could be turned against itself, that is a disaster waiting to happen.&quot; Another trend happening with critical infrastructure companies is extortion. One in four survey respondents said they had been victims of extortion through cyber attacks or threats of attack with the number of companies subject to extortion increasing by 25 percent over last year. India and Mexico had particularly high rates of extortion attempts, the report found. &quot;That could be an attempt to crash the network or it could be a denial-of-service attack,&quot; or threats to collapse the power grid, said Stewart Baker, a fellow at the CSIS. Modest security improvements In general, the report showed increasing levels of attacks and concern about attacks, but modest improvement in security. About 40 percent of the respondents said they believed that their industry's vulnerability had increased and nearly 30 percent said they did not think their company was prepared for a cyber attack. &quot;More than 40 percent of the executives we interviewed expect a major cyberattack within 12 months--an attack, that is, that causes severe loss of services for at least 24 hours, a loss of life or personal injury, or the failure of a company,&quot; the report said. That worry was most intense among executives from India, Mexico, and China.  Things have changed significantly from even one year ago. In 2009, nearly half of the respondents said they had never faced network intrusions or large-scale denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Now, about 80 percent of respondents said their firms had been targeted by at least one big DoS attack and 85 percent had seen network intrusions. One-quarter reported daily or weekly DoS attacks and one-quarter said they had been victims of extortion through network attacks or the threat of such attacks.  Despite the increase in threats and the executives' concerns about them, companies aren't beefing up their security much. Energy firms, for instance, increased their adoption of security technologies by only a single percentage point, to 51 percent, and oil and gas companies by three percentage points, to 48 percent. Brazil, France, and Mexico are lagging in their security responses, adopting only half as many security measures as the leaders in security--China, Italy, and Japan, according to the report. China and Japan, which both report high levels of formal and informal interaction with their government on security topics, are among the countries with the highest confidence levels that laws will prevent or deter attacks in their countries. Meanwhile, respondents in the U.S., Spain, and U.K. reported little to no contact with their government on security. While all of the Japanese respondents' firms had been audited by their government for security, only 6 percent of those in the U.K. had been.  Companies seem to have a relatively high degree of mistrust for foreign countries. About 60 percent blame nation states and other governments for being behind attacks. The United States was named as the country of most concern for 2009, followed by China, the country called out in the attacks on Google last year. China took the top spot last year, according to the survey, which was conducted before reports began surfacing late last year that linked the U.S. to Stuxnet.  Speculation that the U.S. was behind Stuxnet, with some help from Israel, is backed by reports in The New York Times, including one that says Siemens gave U.S. researchers the opportunity to identify holes in its software.  Summing up the report's conclusions, Baker of the CSIS said he was worried that the people tasked with making sure we have gas, water, and electricity in our homes and offices aren't doing enough to protect that critical infrastructure.  &quot;The message is that our industrial control systems are very, very vulnerable to attack and the security we have installed today is insufficient to protect us,&quot; he said. &quot;I'm concerned that (the industry) is not getting that message, despite having the evidence in front of us.&quot; <br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[(Credit:MiKandi)Apple has fired another legal salvo over the use of the term &quot;app store,&quot; this one targeted at adult app store MiKandi.Last week, MiKandi received a cease-and-desist order from Apple over the use of the term &quot;app store,&quot; company co-founder Jennifer McEwen confirmed today to CNET.In an interview with GeekWire published yesterday, fellow MiKandi co-founder Jesse Adams said that Apple specifically asked the company to stop billing itself as the &quot;world's first app store for adults&quot; and to stop using the term &quot;app store&quot; in describing its own free Android app.Serving up such x-rated and pornographic apps as Adult Friend Finder, Pocket Hottie, and Sex Positions Pro, MiKandi offers its titles through its free mobile app. From there, users can download free apps or buy paid ones through a third-party site that converts money into points to be redeemed at the store.Initially, MiKandi didn't respond to Apple's request, but this week the company decided to play it safe. It changed its tagline from &quot;app store,&quot; to &quot;app market,&quot; now calling itself the &quot;world's first app market for adults.&quot; And it has rechristened its free mobile MiKandi App Store app as MiKandi App Market.Though MiKandi believes the term &quot;app store&quot; is more of a description, McEwen conceded that the company simply doesn't have the deep pockets to challenge Apple.Apple's legal challenge to MiKandi is theiPhone maker's second one this week. On Monday, Apple sued Amazon over the use of the term &quot;app store&quot; just as the retail giant was launching its new Appstore for Android.But Amazon and MiKandi aren't the only companies involved in the skirmish over the use of the term &quot;app store.&quot;In January, Microsoft filed a motion with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office arguing that the term &quot;app store&quot; is too generic to be granted a legal trademark. Apple then shot back at Microsoft claiming that the term &quot;app store&quot; is no more generic than the term Windows. Apple applied for a trademark of the term &quot;app store&quot; in 2008, but that request is still pending at the USPTO following some opposition.Rather than mixing it up with Apple on its own, MiKandi is waiting to see how the conflict plays out among the larger players.&quot;There's going to be a lot of battles going on between the app markets,&quot; said McEwen, &quot;so we'll let the giants hash this one out first.&quot;Apple didn't immediately return requests for comment from CNET.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Jill Tarter, director of the SETI Institute, wants individuals to help in the search for intelligent life in the universe.(Credit:James Martin/CNET)MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--Move over, Twitter. Drop dead, Angry Birds. There's a new mobile app that does more than let people play around on their smartphones--it allows them to join the quest for signs of intelligent life in the universe. The SETI Institute is launching a private beta test beginning today of SetiQuest Explorer in the hopes that hobby astronomers will help with tasks that can't be done well by computers. The app runs on Android 2.2 but will be available on theiPhone this summer. There is also a desktop version for any computer running Flash Player 10.2. &quot;We want to tap into the brain power of the world,&quot; Jill Tarter, director of the non-profit SETI Institute, said in an interview in her office this week.  The SETI@Home project run by the University of California at Berkeley is harnessing unused computer processing power to help crunch the data coming from outer space. SetiQuest Explorer is modeled on the same idea, but using humans and crowdsourcing to distribute visual recognition duties to people with spare time on their hands. (A similar project is Galaxy Zoo, which lets people classify galaxies by shape on a Web site.)  While computers are good at automated tasks and recognizing defined patterns, they aren't so good at detecting and identifying undefined patterns.  SetiQuest Explorer volunteers will be looking for patterns in the fuzzy noise from radio signals picked up by the Allen Telescope Array in Northern California. The telescopes are trained on stars beyond the Solar System, including stars with planets nearby that NASA's Kepler mission has determined are in a habitable zone, meaning they could sustain life.  A line, pulse, or squiggle in the static displayed as black and white dots is compared to seven predetermined types of recognizable patterns. A match could indicate a signal from a CB radio, satellite, airplane, or other known source, and thus be dismissed as interference or unimportant. But a pattern that is not familiar could indicate an interstellar communication meriting closer scrutiny. So far, none of those have been found. &quot;We are looking for anomalies, patterns that aren't recognizable,&quot; said Tarter. &quot;We know there are data we are missing. There are so many signals in the narrowband (radio frequency), our automated code has to skip over it.&quot;  The challenge is to weed out all the noise to be able to better detect a foreign signal when you don't know exactly what that signal will look like.  &quot;We want people to help us find things we don't expect,&quot; she said. &quot;A computer doesn't do random pattern matching. A computer is not very good at serendipitous detection, and humans are.&quot; Francis Potter, founder and chief executive of The Hathersage Group, shows off the SetiQuest Explorer mobile app he developed. Blake Barrett, application architect at the firm, (at right) helped him on the project. (Credit:James Martin/CNET)Citizen ScientistsIn her TED talk two years ago, Tarter talked about enlisting the help of volunteers--she calls them &quot;citizen scientists&quot;--for various aspects of the project, including the arduous and time consuming task of poring over the tons of data satellites gather from outer space. &quot;All of the concerted SETI efforts over the last 40 some years are equivalent to scooping a single glass of water from the oceans. And no one would decide that the ocean was without fish on the basis of one glass of water,&quot; she said at the TED (Technology Entertainment and Design) conference. Nearly two years later, a San Francisco-based programmer heard her words and took the call to arms seriously.  &quot;I saw Jill's TED talk and I was motivated to do something to help,&quot; Potter said, adding that Tarter is a friend of a friend of his. &quot;I wanted to help with one of the most important philosophical, scientific, and spiritual questions of our time.&quot; SetiQuest Explorer lets you search deep space signals (photos) Potter was a Carl Sagan fan as a child, volunteered at a planetarium on weekends in high school, and was a member of the astronomy club at Carnegie Mellon University--just the type of astronomy buff and inquisitive mind Tarter was hoping to reach.  Potter originally considered creating a program for people to use on their TVs but dropped that idea in favor of focusing on the fast growing handheld market. A mobile SETI app is &quot;just the kind of thing to do when you have a few minutes to kill when you are waiting in line at a movie or at the doctor's office,&quot; he said. &quot;It's something to fill time, like Twitter.&quot; Potter contacted Tarter, who was thrilled about the idea. For funding, he turned to Adobe's Experience Design Group, which takes an interest in projects using Adobe technology. SetiQuest Explorer was built using Adobe AIR (Adobe Integrated Runtime), which allows developers to use the same code base to create apps for multiple devices and platforms, Potter said.  Asked why Adobe got involved, Michael Gough, head of the Experience Design Group there, said: &quot;Adobe loves a good challenge, especially one that can be supported by our technology. We like to reserve a little time and energy for projects that our designers and developers feel passionate about, and when this came up, it caught a few people's imagination.&quot;  Programming began in earnest in January and to speed things up, Potter organized several coding weekends where teams of three to five programmers holed up in a hotel meeting room for two days and nights writing software. They wrote the mobile app that displays the data to end users, as well as the back end system that feeds the data from the SETI servers to the mobile devices, assigns data to users, and keeps track of the recordings of patterns. All the software is open source. The app displays the target source of radio signals in Google Sky.(Credit:James Martin/CNET)Once a user has logged in to SetiQuest Explorer via Facebook (so people don't have to remember yet another password), the app doles out assignments. A tiny slice of the universe is displayed in Google Sky with a target in view. You can pan around in space and zoom in. There is information provided about the target, such as the name of the star, its distance from Earth, its coordinates, and how many planets it has. This display puts a name and neighborhood to the target.  Touching &quot;Continue&quot; brings up a display of the radio signals, represented as black and white dots, where users will attempt to identify patterns. Scrolling with the scroll bar or making a wiping motion pushes the image, so users can scroll through the frequencies as if they were turning the dial on an old-fashioned radio--the digital equivalent to searching for a channel among all the static in outer space. If a pattern is detected, users can touch &quot;I see a pattern&quot; and identify it from a list of seven examples. If the pattern is not among those, there is a &quot;&quot; button to touch. Users can also &quot;cancel&quot; or get a new assignment.  Assignments will be sent to multiple participants, and if there is a consensus that one has a recognizable pattern that likely comes from a known or man-made source, then it will be set aside. If an assignment has a pattern that people designate as unrecognizable, it will be evaluated more closely by SETI staff.  The goal is to get enough people using SetiQuest Explorer that the data can be analyzed within four minutes from when it is transmitted from the telescopes. &quot;We need to be able to follow up on a signal right when we see it,&quot; Tarter said.  SetiQuest Explorer is just one piece of the larger SetiQuest program, which encourages programmers to help improve on the group's search algorithms and create new applications. For example, instead of visualizing radio data as black and white dots, it could be represented in colorful 3D patterns. And game developers could come up with ways to make the tasks more fun and immersive.  Getting individuals involved is key to the project, not just to process data, but to get people emotionally and intellectually invested in the mission and lend a new perspective on the world around us, Tarter said. &quot;We see ourselves as very different and distinct,&quot; she said. &quot;This (project) has the effect of holding up a mirror to the whole planet, and we don't see any national boundaries down there.... This can help trivialize the differences among humans and, hopefully, change the world a bit.&quot; Scrolling through the display of radio static on the app is the digital equivalent to turning the knob on an old-fashioned radio.(Credit:James Martin/CNET)Updated 8:15 a.m. PTto clarify that SETI@Home is run by University of California at Berkeley and not by the SETI Institute.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[A screen shot from 'Clone Wars,' the animated series that continues the Star Wars saga.(Credit:LucasFilm)Every job has its advantages and its disadvantages, but Christian Taylor's may have one of the best perks around: regular creative meetings with George Lucas.You may not know who Taylor is, but if you've got kids who watch TV, they almost certainly know his work. He's the head writer on the &quot;Clone Wars,&quot; the animated series that picks up the &quot;Star Wars&quot; universe where the movies leave off.After previous stints writing for shows as diverse as &quot;Lost&quot; and &quot;Six Feet Under,&quot; Taylor began writing three years ago for &quot;Clone Wars,&quot; which finishes up its third season on April 1. A confessed &quot;Star Wars&quot; obsessive, Taylor nonetheless brings a bit of sobriety to a writing role that tasks him with the responsibility of caretaking a cast of characters and a roster of storylines that millions of people take very seriously.&quot;Clone Wars&quot; began airing on the Cartoon Network in 2008 and follows the continued adventures of some of the most loved characters from the original and prequel &quot;Star Wars&quot; films and is set in the time frame in between &quot;Episode II: Attack of the Clones&quot; and &quot;Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.&quot; But if you're old enough to have seen any of the original three films in theaters when they first came out, you might not even know about the show. Unless you have children, that is. For many kids, &quot;Clone Wars&quot; was their introduction to the giant Lucas-created ecosystem--so don't tell them that there's nothing like the original films. Taylor says he doesn't get into the game so many want to play with &quot;Star Wars&quot;--which film is the best Are the prequels awful, or are the first three films too slow For him, it's just a privilege to be involved. Yesterday, Taylor sat down for a 45 Minutes on IM interview and talked to CNET about things as diverse as writing about the Force, what it's like to meet with Lucas, what his 10-year-old self would say to him about his job, and, yes, about his opinions on Jar-Jar Binks.Q: Thank you very much for doing this. It's great to have you here.Christian Taylor: Thank you.To start, I have to ask: I was told that you were in a notes meeting with Lucas earlier today. Now, I know you can't tell me any of the substance, but can you talk about what it's like to be in meetings with LucasTaylor: Well, I've been doing this for three years now, and it never gets old. It's both surreal and completely ordinary at the same time. He's great fun and more mischievous than people give him credit for. He's also incredibly smart, so it's never boring. I loved &quot;Star Wars&quot; as a kid, like all my peers. I was talking to my sister over the Christmas holidays and she said 'imagine if you could talk to your 10-year-old self and tell him what you'd be doing when you grew up!' Sometimes I pinch myself, but it's a fantastic job.&quot;What would your 10-year-old self say to you How impressed would he beHe'd say, 'Bitch, grab you a piece of the Death Star and frame it!' Apparently a load of that stuff ended up in a dumpster [after the filming of the original &quot;Star Wars.&quot;] No, seriously, he'd be impressed and excited and would say. &quot;Don't screw it up!&quot; That's kind of what I say to myself every day.What was your experience of seeing the original &quot;Star Wars&quot; the first timeTaylor: It's vague as I was pretty young. I saw it in the cinema, I know that much. I think it took my parents awhile. I remember the line and the ship going overhead. &quot;Empire&quot; was more profound for me. I went to the premier because my sister's friend worked for Warner Bros. and I have a signed program by Dave Prowse [who played Darth Vader] and Mark Hamill. I built the snowscape from &quot;Empire&quot; in my living room with polystyrene. I was obsessed.How did you end up working on &quot;Clone Wars&quot;Taylor: I had a meeting and then got a call from my agents saying they want you. They had met with a lot of people and as a writer from &quot;Six Feet Under&quot; and &quot;Lost&quot; I didn't think I was an obvious choice. But they wanted to move away from animation writers and focus on a drama writer from TV. It was luck I guess.As a writer for &quot;Lost&quot; and &quot;Six Feet Under,&quot; do you see any similarities in the themes between those shows and &quot;Clone Wars&quot;Taylor: That's a tough one. I think &quot;Six Feet&quot; was a great space to explore characters and &quot;Lost&quot; was the show of riddles and how to get out of them combined with great characters. Mix those together and maybe you have &quot;Star Wars.&quot; &quot;Star Wars&quot; is an incredible &quot;universe&quot; to play in because the characters are key but the situations need to be unique and fun. The first episodes I wrote were epic and dealt with the Force. You don't get to do that everyday as a writer. What's amazing about writing this show is you can write it and they can build it. Literally. Most shows I've worked on are an endless game of compromise. On most TV budgets and schedules, you could never achieve what we do dramatically and physically on &quot;Clone Wars.&quot;What prepared you to write for this universe that so many people hold so dearTaylor: I think one of the reasons I've succeeded is that I know &quot;Star Wars&quot; well but am not a fan as such. I really have no understanding or comprehension of the entire universe that is the books, comics, video games, etc. I know the movies and love the characters. That would be a lot to live up to and would confuse my brain. I write from character and always try to be sincere and true and emotional when writing them. I have no idea what droid is called what...there are far better people to audit that. Writing in such a beloved universe is like standing on a cliff's edge. If you look down and see all the fans you'd lose your nerve and get serious writers block.What's your sense of whether old-school &quot;Star Wars&quot; fans accept &quot;Clone Wars&quot; as a legitimate part of the story Old school being, you know, folks who were old enough to see the original films when they first came out.Taylor: It's funny, I tell people--writers, directors, executives--that I have meetings with what I am doing and they are so jealous. I think a lot of people my age are watching it with their kids and getting to relive the world through two perspectives: Their own and their kids'. Many more people are watching it than I thought. Guilty pleasure or not, it's somewhat a place to come home to. The fans love the show if for no other reason than it's &quot;Star Wars&quot; and they know George Lucas has been in every single story meeting. As we get better at telling stories so does the drama. If they have a problem with the direction of the show they should call George. LOL.Some have said that &quot;Clone Wars&quot; is more fulfilling than the prequel trilogy. Might this series become a coveted classic in 10 to 20 yearsTaylor: I think all of &quot;Star Wars&quot; will be that. We have to remember that a whole new generation has grown up understanding star wars through &quot;Clone Wars&quot; and have never seen the movies. The whole &quot;Star Wars&quot; which movies do you like game is a losing battle since each generation loves their movies. Don't forget the kids who saw the prequels find the first movies slow and boring without enough light saber fights. Tell me something about the show that would surprise even the biggest fansTaylor: Dumbledore is gay! Sorry let me think. I might get thrown in jail. Lucas jail.I think people don't realize how involved George Lucas really is. Also how amazing [&quot;Clone Wars supervising director] Dave Filoni is. I call him the James Cameron of animation. What the artists are doing on the show has been never done before. Period. The show is really ground breaking and an honor to write for. Rarely in my career have I handed over a script and later thought 'They really made that cool.' Dave and his team really do that.At some point, it is out of the question to expect animated adaptations of the third trilogy that were never filmedTaylor: I've heard George say, and so have others, that there was never a third trilogy. I hope there will be another animated movie to showcase how the show is kicking ass technically and story-wise. I can't say more than that.Tell me the truth: where do you come down on the Jar-Jar Binks spectrum Love him, hate him Somewhere in betweenTaylor: That's a tricky one. Whether you like it or not he is part of the &quot;Star Wars&quot; universe and has to be written for. Some kids love him and he is an access point for really young children. George is a smart man, and Jar-Jar is who young children could identify with. We will see him again but he is not a major part of the show. Personally I have never had to write him. But he has a good heart. And that is important for kids to celebrate. [Screw] the cynics.Last question, and it's my standard one for this series. I love doing these IM interviews because I get a perfect transcript, and because my interview subjects can be a little more thoughtful, and a little more articulate than they might otherwise be. But also because IM makes multi-tasking easy. So, what else were you doing while we were doing the interviewTaylor: I bought this new back massager and foot reflexology machine, so I basically had a spa session while making lists of all the [stuff] I have to do! No, you kept me busy and wore me out.Well, thanks so much for your time. I really appreciate it.<br/><br/>0 Vote(s) ]]></description>
