Google’s Bookstore Footnotes

March 31st, 2011 No comments


Google’s ruthless idea to make the world’s biggest digital collection and bookstore encountered major difficulties during the current week with the most frequently used account in the book, exclusive rights. The company’s idea to digitize each book available was ruined when a federal adjudicator in New York abandoned the 125 million dollar legal agreement the company figured out with agents of authors and publishers.

This latest verdict has put Google’s most ruthless activity into purgatory and takes into light the apprehensions of increasing control over information. At present Google has 15 million manuscripts online. The complete text of books whose patent has terminated is accessible via Google’s Book Search facilities.

Larry Page, co-creator of Google ready to take the chief executive seat next month, stated a long time ago that this is a side venture of his and has an extensive diversity of support for the venture within the company. This extravagant activity is precisely in conjunction with the business aim to systematize the entire information in the world and Ken Auletta, writer of Google: ‘The End of the World as We Know It’ says, “It was very much consistent with Larry’s idealism that all of the world’s information be made available freely.”

New York Federal Adjudicator Denny Chin says that the agreement would have given Google a, “de facto monopoly” and the capability to earn revenue from books without consent from the owner who has exclusive rights. Chin accepted that “the creation of a universal digital library would benefit many,” but persisted that the proposed contract was “not fair, adequate, and reasonable.”

This verdict is a hindrance as well for the Author’s Guild and the Association of American Publishers, which took legal action on Google in 2005 regarding its book scanning venture. Only two years back a decision was ultimately made official by authors, publishers, and Google to take millions of printed work into the digital world.

DDoS at Number One in the Threat List in New Trustwave Web Hack Report

March 24th, 2011 No comments


A Web Hacking Incident Database semiannual report was released by information security and compliance solutions provider Trustwave (www.trustwave.com) this week. It was learnt from the report that there has been an upsurge in DDoS attacks and it also depicts “a lack of properly implemented anti-automation defenses to ensure application availability”, and this is the reason why these attacks occur.

A new PenTest Manager online portal for the management of penetration tests in real-time was also released by the organization in the current week.

The report said that on number one position of attack vector in the second half of 2010 stood the DDoS attacks. This figure is an upsurge of 22 percent from the first half of 2010.

The chairman and CEO of Trustwave stated, “The WHID helps businesses better understand the potential business and technological impact of an attack. Such research enables informed and accurate decisions to protect and secure online commerce.”

According to Trustwave, the results of the report show that “website downtime is far from the traditional intended outcome of an attack.” The envisioned result is typically to hack for return.

It was learnt from the study that many enterprises have an incorrect assumption that a DDoS attack can be prevented from network hardware. However, according to Trustwave, organizations should examine the limitations of a website in order to understand the response of applications to attacks.

According to Trustwave, “26 percent of attacks are accounted against government agencies and a monetary loss of 64 percent was experienced by the finance sector”. “A 27 percent credit card leakage affected the retail to the most.”

The senior vice president and head of SpiderLabs, Nicholas J. Percoco said “Cybercriminals never stop trying to exploit Web applications. By aggregating the information in the WHID, we’re educating businesses with the latest trends regarding online threats to businesses.”
