A view from BT on the future of passwords and security
Passwords have been used for centuries but, according to some, their days are numbered. Bill Gates, for example, believes that arming everyone with yet more complex technology will make electronic transactions safer. While this may be true for those prepared or able to use such technology, there's a lot more that communications networks can do to take the strain and keep things simple, argues BT's Chief Identity Architect, Richard Baker. .
Online banking customers deserve better security
New Zealanders have a right to better protection from banks against scamming attacks and should demand better security for online banking, said Mike Heath, General Manager of New Zealand’s online savings and investment service, RaboPlus. “The country’s biggest banks are all encouraging their customers to use online services, however many banks here lag behind in the security they offer to their online banking customers,” said Mr Heath. Overseas, consumer legislation and the growing number of phishing attacks has motivated many European banks to improve their security measures. Interpol has found that countries which have better protected online industries are significantly less likely to be targeted. “Unless banks in New Zealand step up the security they offer their online banking customers, it is possible we will see more and more fraudsters targeting New Zealanders,” said Mr Heath.

Manila’s First Gentleman Stirs a Libel Hornet’s Nest
Opposition legislators and political candidates, at least six of whom also have libel cases filed against them by the First Gentleman, have called Mr. Arroyo’s actions reminiscent of the Martial Law period under Ferdinand Marcos. Journalists here and abroad are crying foul. They note that it is strange for civic prosecutors to find merit in all of the libel cases filed by Mr. Arroyo, and that the normally sluggish justice system, which can often take years to accomplish anything, worked with unusual haste in some of the cases. "Some of the cases seem like they were just filed to harass the media – warning that if you write something negative about me, I’ll file a libel suit against you," says reporter Mia Gonzales. Not that they think they are actually headed to prison.
