the agency 'should determine whether someof these arrangements adversely restrict consumer choice or harm thedevelopment of innovative devices, and it should take appropriateaction if it finds harm' It's not hard to imagine who might betargeted — at a separate Senate Committee on Commerce hearing onThursday, much of the discussion centered on ATetT's exclusive deal tocarry the iPhone ATetT claimed 'consumers benefit from exclusive dealsin three ways: innovation, lower cost and more choice,' but carriersand senators from states with large rural populations disagreed,saying that their customers had no choice when it came to the iPhone —it's not available because ATetTs network doesn't reach these areasOne panelist also brought up the Carterfone precedent PDF, whichconcerned an 'electrical acoustic coupling device' that a man namedTom Carter developed in the 1950s to let field workers make phonecalls using a radio transceiver connected to ATetT's phone networkATetT, which was then a monopoly, claimed no foreign devices could beconnected to its network, but lost when it challenged the Carterfonein court The result spurred innovation such as the fax machine"IMAGERead

possession ofthis alone is not enough to cause harm to our customers," T-Mobilesaid in a statement"We continue to investigate the matter, and have taken additionalprecautionary measures to further

T-Mobile customer has brought thisscary world of breaches and identity theft home to me - with the newsthat T-Mobile confidential and customer data had been breachedBeing in the security industry and seeing a lot of breaches, one tendsto get a bit overwhelmed - both with the scale and costs involved Andafter a while one gets a bit numb as well However, when it hits youpersonally, like it does for me now, it feels a bit different I amfrantically checking each of my credit card statements for erroneouscharges, my bank statement to see if any worrisome withdrawals havegotten through etc I am worried about my SSN being compromised andidentities of my family stolen Not a fun place to beWhile this may turn out to a hoax as some suggested I selfishly dohope it is, but the sinking feeling it gave me when I read the newsis real And such a breach is not by any means, far-fetchedIMAGEIMAGEIMAGE

article on a claimed successful attackagainst the telecommunications giant, T-Mobile, it appears that thesituation still remains a little murky, with reports claiming that thecompany has both confirmed and denied that a breach took placeIgnoring for a moment the most recent statements by T-Mobile, theoriginal claim of a hack seemed to offer tabulated internal networkdata as proof of successful compromise of the company This is thesort of information that would be easy to extract in a single file,and is something that would be expected to exist in any non-trivialnetwork to aid administrators with keeping the network and associatedsystems operating smoothly While having possession of the filereduces the need for an attacker to manually map out the network, itisn't something that many would consider overly damaging, especiallyif network and system security was robustPerhaps if a company had thrown all their intrusion and detectionsystem eggs into the basket of Network Intrusion over Host IntrusionDetection Systems NIDS vs HIDS, then possession of this list wouldallow an attacker to immediately commence extremely targeted attacksagainst single systems, hoping to avoid triggering the NIDS whichshould be triggering on the external access in the first place, butit should be triggering a properly managed HIDS The flip side is thathaving an attacker in possession of a well-enumerated network mapmakes it simpler for them to target systems which might have anunpatched vulnerability, or which have a degraded HIDS, when theirnetwork mapping activity should have triggered on a properly managedNIDSA blended approach, with both systems in place and properly managedisn't going to be overly threatened by an attacker having possessionof a network map All it means is that the timeline between initialcontact with the network / company systems and compromise / extractionof sensitive data is compressed, reducing the available opportunity todetect, trap and stop the hack and data extractionT-Mobile's statements seem to support this point of view,acknowledging that the information published did exist in a fileagain there are conflicting reports about the validity of thisstatement, which has now been identified, and that an investigationis now ongoing to determine the extent and severity of any breach thattook placeThe downside for external observers is that T-Mobile are not obligedto make public the results of their internal investigation, and if itis confirmed that personal data was affected for customers, then itcould take some time for that information to come out If affectedcustomers are notified individually, it may never be known just howsignificant any breach might have beenTruth, as it is in many cases like this, will lie somewhere betweenthe extremes being put forward no or minimal hack and full networkaccess and compromise, but it is more likely to lie towards a minornetwork penetration and data extraction - after all, the informationthat was published had to come from somewhereIt is entirely possible that the information was the result ofimproperly disposed of hardware or a lost storage deviceAt the least, it put some excitement back into the old Full-Disclosuremailing listA big welcome, by the way, to those reading this article from withinT-Mobile's network Yes, we know you're there If you, or any of ourreaders

spam bin before anyone would be able tosee the material on offer There are better ways to reach people thanthrough unsolicited email, but there are increased risks with takingthis approachPrevious cases where there have been attempts to sell company secrets,especially for major public companies, have ended with major lawenforcement attention and the approached company often aiding lawenforcement in stopping the attempt With greater corporate and publicawareness of data loss and theft, it is more likely in the modernenvironment that competitors will call law enforcement and gainpositive PR than to risk prosecution and damages by purchasing theircompetitor's secretsLeaning towards legitimacy are anonymous online comments from peopleclaiming to have worked for T-Mobile in the past verifying that atleast some of the details posted correlate with the systems andservers that they knew existed within the company The other aspectwhich suggests legitimacy is the level of detail in the materialposted, which amounts to a tabulated network descriptionSo far, based on the table of possible servers, applications, IPs andlocations, there is nothing that can be done to further verify theaccuracy of the claims by this unknown group Not enough informationis available to say either way, and it is now up to T-Mobile or thegroup to release further information that will clarify the situationThe arguments for an actual compromise are much weaker than thearguments for it not being real and it is considered much more likelythat it is a hoaxIt doesn't matter which one is actually true at the moment The verypublic offer for sale of the material is going to cause more harm thangood for the group behind it For the seventh largesttelecommunications provider in the world Morgan Stanley, 2008, with32 million customers in the US alone, T-Mobile is a very large targetto be taking on, and the use of an anonymising email service may notbe as secure as the group thinks it is, with Safe-mail keeping theirclient data protected up to the point it is necessary to comply withlegal requirements, something that is probably going to happen soonIt is staggering to think how much data is represented by what thehackers have claimed and how long it must have taken to exfiltratethat information from the corporate networks, if the hackers do haveit, all without the awareness of T-Mobile's Information SecuritystaffOther claims have been made that the group responsible is the same onethat claimed to have penetrated Checkpoint, extracting the full sourcecode for VPN1At the

son compte bancaire,connaître l’horaire du prochain bus…De plus en plus de services sontaccessibles sur téléphone mobile Reste à savoir si et quand le mobiledeviendra un portefeuille numériqueLes barrières tombent, les unes après les autres Aujourd’hui, de plusen plus de services sont accessibles via le téléphone mobilePlusieurs facteurs favorisent cette prolifération Tout d’abord, letaux d’équipement des Français Actuellement, 56 millions d’entre euxdisposent d’un téléphone portable Et il est de plus en plus faciled’accéder à Internet par ce moyen, y compris dans le métro De plus,le coût de ces connexions a baissé, puisque les opérateurs proposentdes forfaits illimités Une mesure qui permet d’élargir la gamme desservices accessibles, au delà de ceux proposés par l’opérateur auprèsduquel l’utilisateur a souscrit un abonnement Par ailleurs,l’ergonomie des sites s’améliore, et leur consultation est rendue plusintuitive par les interfaces tactiles des téléphones, sur le modèle del’Iphone de Apple Dernier point : en plus d’Internet, d’autres voies,gratuites, se développent Résultat, de plus en plus de consommateursadoptent ces servicesServices en baladeC’est souvent le cas de ceux proposés par les entreprises liées à lamobilité, comme la RATP, Air France ou Mappy Fort logiquement, leursusagers sont preneurs de services accessibles pendant lesdéplacements Réunies par l’Acsel, l’Association de l’économienumérique, le 21 avril dernier, à Paris, ces sociétés ont fait lepoint sur ces nouvelles pratiques Le site mobile de la RATP, parexemple, est consulté au rythme d’un million de pages par mois Il estpossible d’y préparer son itinéraire, de connaître l’actualité dutrafic ou les horaires des bus « 40% de nos clients sont desoccasionnels Ils ont besoin d’informations pour maitriser leurparcours : connaître le trafic et organiser leurs trajets », préciseVirginie Hermel, chef de projet à la RATP Et la Régie de transports ad’autres projets dans ses cartons, comme celui d’intégrer dans le sitedes plans de quartier basés sur Google Maps Mais elle envisageégalement de développer d’autres formes d’accès gratuit àl’information : des « flash codes », sorte de petits codes barre,disposés dans les stations de bus, et de tramway Lorsquel’utilisateur « flashe » le code avec son téléphone portable, cedernier télécharge les informations liées au lieu C’est depuis 2001,déjà, que la Ratp a commencé à se servir du téléphone mobile pourcommuniquer avec ses clients, en leur envoyant des SMS d’alerte sur letrafic, notamment « Cela nous évite de mettre en place des panneauxqui sont dispendieux, et qu’il faut entretenir Et nous pouvons ainsifournir une information plus personnalisée et fidéliser les passagers», commente Virginie HermelServices de proximité et couplage avec les sites InternetAutre exemple de services fournis via mobile : Mappy, le site Internetd’itinéraires, a développé une version pour le mobile Cette dernièrereçoit « 800 000 visiteurs uniques par mois », estime FrédericCampart, directeur marketing chez Mappy Les services sont fournisgratuitement à l’utilisateur Ce sont les annonceurs, notammentséduits par les publicités géolocalisées, qui payent Sont disponiblesdes plans, des itinéraires, des services de proximité et desinformations en temps réel, comme la météo liée à la destinationchoisie Dans les mois qui viennent, le site devrait s’enrichir encored’autres services complémentaires, plus personnalisés, et conçus selonune logique communautaire Du coté d’ Air France, il est possible deconnaître les horaires de vols par SMS Mais « ces services sont peuutilisés », regrette Laurent Petitmangin, responsable marketing mobilede la société, qui cite le chiffre de 50 000 utilisateurs par moisNéanmoins, la société continue ses expérimentations, avec la carted’embarquement sur mobile : A Nice, les passagers embarquent enprésentant leur téléphone portable et une carte d’identité Et, àl’été, les passagers de la compagnie qui font émettre leur carted’embarquement électronique sur le site Internet de la sociétépourront, au lieu de l’imprimer, la recevoir directement sur leurtéléphone mobile Les entreprises liées à la mobilité ne sont pas lesseules à proposer des services accessibles sur les téléphones de leursclients Banques et assurance, par exemple, ont également investi cecréneau, qui leur permet de personnaliser leur relation avec leursclientsUne banque dans la pocheNéanmoins, tous les services ne sont pas adaptés au mobile Inutile,par exemple, d’y proposer de souscrire un prêt sur vingt ans pourfinancer l’achat d’une maison Plus basiquement, la plupart desbanques proposent aujourd’hui des alertes par SMS, par exemple en casde dépassement d’un certain seuil de dépenses, ou bien la possibilitéde consulter le solde de ses comptes Mais d’autres vont beaucoup plusloin Ainsi, Ineas, un assureur en ligne, propose de souscrire à uneassurance automobile via son téléphone mobile

: Ed McKinley, Contributing Editor, Avisian PublicationsThere’s a number of things holding back near field communication, thelack of devices being number one or two on that list followed by thelack of a business case for mobile providers and financialinstitutionsBut some are moving past those obstacles Major players in thepayments industry are promoting near field communication stickerslinked to prepaid accounts as an intermediate step toward paying withmobile phonesMasterCard Worldwide has announced a deal with Alameda, Calif-basedBlaze Mobile Inc to market the stickers, and Visa USA is working withGreenwood, Colo-based First Data Corp to popularize the GO-Tags thatcan take the form of stickers, pins, key fobs or wristbands“Nirvana is having the NFC chip embedded in the phone – this is aninterim solution until NFC mobile phones are available,” MichelleFisher, Blaze Mobile CEO, says of the stickersConsumers may obtain and use Blaze Mobile MasterCard PayPass mobilepayment stickers for free by logging onto blazewalletcom, says SimonPugh, head of MasterCard’s Global Center of Mobile Excellence FirstData says GO Tags will become available to the public later this yearConsumers could affix the stickers to their cell phones or hand-heldcomputing devices to make electronic payments at any contactlessterminal The stickers, about a third the size of a business card,contain a computer chip that communicates via radio signals tocontactless payment terminals in a transaction insiders liken to an“electronic handshake”“A contactless sticker is like a miniature adhesive gift card with anNFC chip inside,” says Sarah Owen, vice president of productdevelopment for mobile commerce solutions at First DataThe Blaze MasterCard stickers enable consumers to make purchases wherecontactless payments are accepted However, the MasterCard and Visaprojects are limited to making payments drawn from prepaid accountsFor now, issuers are not linking the stickers to debit or creditcards, but they could in the future, sources sayThe hope is that NFC stickers will create bottom-up demand forcontactless and for NFC phones, says Ed Lawrence, managing associateat Westbury, NY-based Auriemma Consulting Group Inc At first,consumers will want the contactless stickers, he says Later, theywill want all of their cards on chips inside NFC phones, he continuesThe prepaid market will drive demand initially, and then legions ofyouthful consumers will adopt the technology, says Lawrence He pointsto the 18 to 34 year-olds of the world who are wedded to their phonesand to doing everything conveniently and fast over the Web “It willexplode and the world will never be the same,” Lawrence predictsOwen also foresees widespread adoption and cites convenience as adriver A First Data study indicates contactless payments typicallytake place two to three times faster than cash or no-signature cardpayments and about five times faster than card payments requiring asignature, she saysDespite the newness of NFC, a January 2008 First Data survey of morethan 2,700 consumers aged 18 years or older indicated 65% ofrespondents were interested in learning more about the technology, 78%of self purchasers indicated interest, 60% of those interestedindicated a likelihood of using contactless stickers at least once aweek and 40% expected to use it more frequently than that, Owen saysBlaze Mobile began experimenting with stickers about three years ago,creating six iterations before settling upon a final design, Fishersays An early version the size of a poker chip slipped off thephones, she recalls Now, a third-party manufactures the finalconfiguration of the devices to Blaze Mobile specifications, she saysFirst Data generated some buzz for GO Tags last summer by providingdelegates to the Democratic National Convention in Denver withcontactless pins charged with $10 in free refreshment-stand purchasesEarlier, tests in corporate cafeterias indicated 40% of users visitedthe employee cafeteria more often when they had their sticker and 17%spent more per visit to the cafeteria, Owen saysThe stickers have no serious durability issues, says Fisher, who hascarried a phone with a sticker attached in her purse for some timewithout incident INSIDE Contactless is supplying the chips inpre-laminate stickers to First DataStorm Lake, Iowa-based MetaBank will issue the Blaze Mobile MasterCardstickers Visa and First Data say they are “in discussions” withfinancial institutions interested in issuing GO Tags and have signedup retailers to accept and distribute the devicesNeither MasterCard nor Visa commented on marketing plans, but Lawrenceenvisions a MasterCard Priceless campaign for NFC stickers“They’ll advertise and it’ll be a big splash,” he says “I think it’sgoing to work”Disseminating the stickers could help the payments industry solve the“chicken and egg” conundrums that stymies contactless payments andmobile banking, says Auriemma’s LawrenceMerchants have hesitated to invest in new contactless terminals orretrofit older terminals to accept contactless payments becausefinancial institutions have not issued enough contactless cards,sources agree“Maybe you have 200,000 contactless terminals in the United States,and there’s four million to six million merchants,” says LawrenceIn addition, the decision to promote “tap and go” contactless as a wayto avoid the time-consuming swipe of a mag-stripe card also limitedthe spread of the technology to convenience stores, gas stations andquick-serve restaurants, says Lawrence Department stores and big-boxretailers are less concerned about moving customers through thecheckout line more quickly, he saysThe added expense of contactless cards and stickers also scares offsome issuers, Lawrence says Depending upon the number of cardsordered, contactless versions cost $150 to $2 more thanmagnetic-stripe cards Commonplace magnetic stripe cards can cost aslittle as 25 cents each in sufficient volume, he says Contactlessstickers cost even more than contactless cards, according to publishedreportsMeanwhile, carriers and phone manufacturers have been slow to includeNFC chips in cell phone handsets because technology standards havebeen lacking and because the chips cost $10 to $15 per phone, LawrencesaysWhile NFC adoption has increased abroad, Owen quotes the Waltham,Mass-based Mercator Advisory Group Inc as describing the number ofNFC-enabled phones in the United States as “between zero and next tozero”However, that could change soon, according to Blaze Mobile’s FisherUS carriers have begun considering purchasing NFC-equipped phones,she says Mass quantities could appear in two years, and thetechnology could become pervasive in three years, she continues“My dream would be that every phone has an NFC chip, just like everycell phone now has a camera,” Fisher saysUntil that day, however, First Data and Blaze Mobile hope theirstickers can help
