- I came across another school district in Ohio using weblogs today. The Finneytown School District which is located in Cincinnati has some examples of weblog use among the staff web pages and in the Technology Department. Here's a middle school teacher, Mrs. Stoefel's, Adventures in Social Studies. I can't help but wonder how many more examples are out there of teachers and schools using weblogs that we haven't come across yet. |

- With a publicly available search engine, a few well-chosen e-mail addresses, and off-the-shelf viral code, anyone can commit an act of cyberterrorism--or so says Roelof Temmingh, technical director of SensePost, a South African computer security company. Speaking at the recent Black Hat Briefings and Defcon 11 conferences, Temmingh explained that the current methods of assailing computer networks--denial-of-service attacks (DoS) or remote break-ins--inconvenience too few people to really impact a nation's information infrastructure. The sort of exploit that could really hurt a country, Temmingh suggests, would more likely be based on e-mail viruses, a concept he outlined in a recent paper. (Meryl) |
