China Orders Patches to Planned Web Filter

By EDWARD WONG

BEIJING − A designer of censorship software that the Chinese government requires to be preinstalled on computers sold in China has been ordered to fix potential security breaches in the software, the newspaper China Daily reported Monday. The report was an indication that the government still supports use of the software _[CONNECTOR]_ heated debate over it.

The software, called Green Dam-Youth Escort, has come under attack by many computer users in China for both political and technical reasons.

Critics say that although the Chinese government insists that the software will be used only to block access to pornography Web sites, the software’s actual use will be to block any site with content deemed politically objectionable, like the Tibet issue or the 1989 Tiananmen killings.

The government says all computers sold in China must have the software installed by July 1.

Early reports had indicated that the government might simply require Green Dam to be included on a CD packaged with new computers, so users would have the option to install it. But it became apparent last week that the government was insisting that all computer makers preinstall the software by July 1. Foreign computer makers learned of the directive just three weeks ago and have been asking the Chinese government to reconsider the rules.

Some computer experts who have studied the software said last week that it was so flawed that it could allow hackers to monitor a user’s Internet activity, steal personal data or plant viruses. One expert, J. Alex Halderman, a computer science professor at the University of Michigan, has posted on the Internet a report on Green Dam’s vulnerabilities.

Rather than agreeing to scrap the software altogether, the Chinese government has responded to the technical criticisms by ordering that the potential security breaches be eliminated.

Mr. Halderman said in an interview last week that it had only taken a few hours for him and his students to infiltrate a computer loaded with Green Dam and force it to crash. A skilled hacker could take over the computer to mine personal data or hitch it to other infected machines in a malevolent network known as a botnet, he added.

BEIJING − A designer of censorship software that the Chinese government requires to be preinstalled on computers sold in China has been ordered to fix potential security breaches in the software, the newspaper China Daily reported Monday. PEQUIM - Um designer de software de censura que o governo chinês exige que seja pré-instalado em computadores vendidos na China recebeu ordens para corrigir possíveis falhas de segurança no software, informou o jornal China Daily na segunda-feira.

The report was an indication that the government still supports use of the software _[CONNECTOR]_ heated debate over it. O relatório foi uma indicação de que o governo ainda apoia o uso do software _[CONNECTOR]_ debate acalorado sobre ele.

The software, called Green Dam-Youth Escort, has come under attack by many computer users in China for both political and technical reasons. O software, chamado Green Dam-Youth Escort, tem sido atacado por muitos usuários de computador na China por razões políticas e técnicas.

Critics say that although the Chinese government insists that the software will be used only to block access to pornography Web sites, the software’s actual use will be to block any site with content deemed politically objectionable, like the Tibet issue or the 1989 Tiananmen killings. Os críticos dizem que, embora o governo chinês insista que o software será usado apenas para bloquear o acesso a sites pornográficos, a utilização real do software será bloquear qualquer site com conteúdo considerado politicamente censurável, como a questão do Tibete ou os assassinatos de Tiananmen em 1989.

The government says all computers sold in China must have the software installed by July 1. O governo diz que todos os computadores vendidos na China devem ter o software instalado até 1º de julho.

Early reports had indicated that the government might simply require Green Dam to be included on a CD packaged with new computers, so users would have the option to install it. Os primeiros relatórios indicavam que o governo poderia simplesmente exigir que o Green Dam fosse incluído em um CD que acompanhasse os novos computadores, para que os usuários tivessem a opção de instalá-lo. 

But it became apparent last week that the government was insisting that all computer makers preinstall the software by July 1. Mas tornou-se evidente na semana passada que o governo estava a insistir que todos os fabricantes de computadores pré-instalassem o software até 1 de Julho.

Foreign computer makers learned of the directive just three weeks ago and have been asking the Chinese government to reconsider the rules. Os fabricantes estrangeiros de computadores tomaram conhecimento da diretiva há apenas três semanas e têm pedido ao governo chinês que reconsidere as regras.

Some computer experts who have studied the software said last week that it was so flawed that it could allow hackers to monitor a user’s Internet activity, steal personal data or plant viruses. Alguns especialistas em informática que estudaram o software disseram na semana passada que ele era tão falho que poderia permitir que hackers monitorassem a atividade de um usuário na Internet, roubassem dados pessoais ou plantassem vírus.

One expert, J. Alex Halderman, a computer science professor at the University of Michigan, has posted on the Internet a report on Green Dam’s vulnerabilities. Um especialista, J. Alex Halderman, professor de ciência da computação na Universidade de Michigan, publicou na Internet um relatório sobre as vulnerabilidades da Green Dam.

Rather than agreeing to scrap the software altogether, the Chinese government has responded to the technical criticisms by ordering that the potential security breaches be eliminated. Em vez de concordar em eliminar totalmente o software, o governo chinês respondeu às críticas técnicas ordenando que as potenciais violações de segurança fossem eliminadas.

Mr. Halderman said in an interview last week that it had only taken a few hours for him and his students to infiltrate a computer loaded with Green Dam and force it to crash. Halderman disse em uma entrevista na semana passada que levou apenas algumas horas para ele e seus alunos se infiltrarem em um computador carregado com Green Dam e forçá-lo a travar.

A skilled hacker could take over the computer to mine personal data or hitch it to other infected machines in a malevolent network known as a botnet, he added. Um hacker habilidoso poderia assumir o controle do computador para extrair dados pessoais ou associá-los a outras máquinas infectadas em uma rede malévola conhecida como botnet, acrescentou.

❑ TEXTO 1: (8A5AAA)

[1º parágrafo]

Although the basic concepts of cryptography predate the Greeks, the present word cryptography, used to describe the art of secret communication, comes from the Greek meaning “secret writing”.

Embora os conceitos básicos da criptografia sejam anteriores aos gregos, a palavra atual, criptografia, usada para descrever a arte da comunicação secreta, vem do grego e significa "escrita secreta".

From its rather simple beginnings, cryptography has grown in tandem with technology and its importance has also similarly grown.

Desde seus primórdios relativamente simples, a criptografia cresceu em paralelo com a tecnologia, e sua importância também cresceu. 

Just as in its early days, good cryptographic prowess still wins wars.

Assim como em seus primórdios, a boa habilidade criptográfica ainda vence guerras.

[2º parágrafo]

As we get dragged more and more into the new information society, faceless digital communication regimes are guaranteeing neither information and personal security nor personal privacy.

À medida que somos cada vez mais arrastados para a nova sociedade da informação, regimes de comunicação digital sem rosto não garantem nem a informação nem a segurança pessoal, nem a privacidade pessoal.

The technological and communications revolution has further resulted in massive global surveillance of millions of individuals by either their governments or private companies; the fight for personal privacy has never been any fiercer, and the integrity and confidentiality of data have become more urgent than ever before.

A revolução tecnológica e das comunicações resultou ainda mais na vigilância global massiva de milhões de indivíduos por seus governos ou empresas privadas; a luta pela privacidade pessoal nunca foi tão feroz, e a integridade e a confidencialidade dos dados se tornaram mais urgentes do que nunca.

The security and trust of digital transaction systems have become of critical importance as more and more organizations and businesses join the e-commerce train.

A segurança e a confiança dos sistemas de transações digitais tornaram-se de fundamental importância à medida que mais e mais organizações e empresas aderem ao comércio eletrônico.

The very future of global commerce is at stake in this new information society unless the security of e-commerce can be guaranteed.

O futuro do comércio global está em jogo nesta nova sociedade da informação, a menos que a segurança do comércio eletrônico possa ser garantida.

[3º parágrafo]

Cryptography is being increasingly used to fight off this massive invasion of individual privacy and security, to guarantee data integrity and confidentiality, and to bring trust in global e-commerce.

A criptografia está sendo cada vez 'mais usada para combater' essa invasão massiva de privacidade e segurança individual, para garantir a integridade e a confidencialidade dos dados e para trazer confiança ao comércio eletrônico global.

Cryptography has become the main tool for providing the needed digital security in the modern digital communication medium that far exceeds the kind of security that was offered by any medium before it.

A criptografia se tornou a principal ferramenta para fornecer a segurança digital necessária no meio de comunicação digital moderno, que excede em muito o tipo de segurança oferecido por qualquer meio anterior a ela.

❑ TEXTO 2: (8A5BBB)

[1º parágrafo]

The requirements of information security within an organization have undergone two major changes in the last several decades.

Os requisitos de segurança da informação dentro de uma organização passaram por duas grandes mudanças nas últimas décadas.

Before the widespread use of data processing equipment, the security of information felt to be valuable to an organization was provided primarily by physical and administrative means.

Antes do uso generalizado de equipamentos de processamento de dados, a segurança das informações consideradas valiosas para uma organização era fornecida principalmente por meios físicos e administrativos.

An example of the former is the use of  rugged filing cabinets with a combination lock for storing sensitive documents.

Um exemplo do primeiro é o uso de armários de arquivo robustos com fechadura de combinação para armazenar documentos confidenciais. 

An example of the latter is personnel screening procedures used during the hiring process.

Um exemplo do segundo são os procedimentos de triagem de pessoal usados ​​durante o processo de contratação.

[2º parágrafo]

With the introduction of the computer, the need for automated tools for protecting files and other information stored on the computer became evident. This is especially the case for a shared system, such as a time-sharing system, and the need is even more acute for systems that can be accessed over a public telephone network, data network, or the Internet. The generic name for the collection of tools designed to protect data and to thwart hackers is computer security.

Com a introdução do computador, tornou-se evidente a necessidade de ferramentas automatizadas para proteger arquivos e outras informações armazenadas no computador. Isso se aplica especialmente a sistemas compartilhados, como sistemas de tempo compartilhado, e a necessidade é ainda mais premente para sistemas que podem ser acessados ​​por meio de uma rede telefônica pública, rede de dados ou internet. O nome genérico para o conjunto de ferramentas projetadas para proteger dados e impedir hackers é segurança de computadores.

[3º parágrafo]

The second major change that affected security is the introduction of distributed systems and the use of networks and communications facilities for carrying data between terminal user and computer and between computer and computer.

A segunda grande mudança que afetou a segurança é a introdução de sistemas distribuídos e o uso de redes e recursos de comunicação para transportar dados entre o usuário do terminal e o computador e entre um computador e outro.

Network security measures are needed to protect data during their transmission.

Medidas de segurança de rede são necessárias para proteger os dados durante sua transmissão.

In fact, the term network security is somewhat misleading, because virtually all business, government, and academic organizations interconnect their data processing equipment with a collection of interconnected networks.

De fato, o termo "segurança de rede" é um tanto enganoso, pois praticamente todas as organizações empresariais, governamentais e acadêmicas interconectam seus equipamentos de processamento de dados a um conjunto de redes interconectadas.

Such a collection is often referred to as an internet, and the term internet security is used.

Esse conjunto é frequentemente chamado de "internet", e o termo "segurança da internet" é usado.

Adventures in sub-consciousness

By Sarah Modlock

__( I )__ you fancy a little underwater exploration without the hassle of learning to scuba dive, you’ll love the sub-scooter. It’s a battery-powered moped that propels you through water at a depth of 10 ft. (3 m), __( II )__  compressed air is pumped into a tiny glass cockpit from a boat on the surface — the resulting air pressure keeping water out of the hood. Pelagic treasures can be seen without even getting your hair wet.

         
The sub-scooter’s downside is that it is only found in Mauritius. But the upside is that you have another excuse — __( III )__  the deep-sea fishing, the beaches and the tranquility — to visit this beautiful island nation in the Indian Ocean.
         
Part of the vessel’s charm is that it offers an underwater encounter with no need for heavy oxygen cylinders or uncomfortable mouthpieces and masks. __( IV )__, the motor is virtually soundless, leaving sea creatures undisturbed and preserving a sense of the exotic. It won’t take you long to get a feel for the acceleration and steering, and you won’t need brakes: the coral is low-lying, and there’s nothing to bump into apart from other sub-scooters ( __( V )__ there’s little chance of that with scuba-diving guides pointing the way). Sure, the sub-scooter is too sedate for James Bond and probably rather restrictive for experienced divers, but it’s still a thrilling experience for visiting water babies. A two-hour excursion, including 30 minutes on a sub-scooter, costs about $160 for two people. Visit www.blue-safari.com for details.

‘Wolverine’ Online Leak: Howling Mad!

After the Hugh Jackman blockbuster lands on the web,  Fox scrambles to punish the culprit  –  and protect its own bottom line

By Nicole Sperling

It’s bold to steal a movie. Any movie. But a surefire blockbuster like X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Fox’s make-or-break $130 million summermovie tentpole? That takes nerves of adamantium. And the fact that someone somehow did manage to swipe such an incredibly high-profile project is sending shock waves of Michael Muller panic throughout the industry. ‘’This is certainly a lesson for us all,’’ says Fox co-chairman Tom Rothman. ‘’We, like everybody else, thought our system was secure.’’ Yet, on April 1, there it was: an unfinished version of the movie, available online a full month before its release date. (Since then, the file has been accessed 100,000 times, and the blogosphere buzz has been mixed at best.) Fox is working with the FBI to find the culprit — ‘’Somebody’s going to end up in jail for a long time,’’ insists Rothman — but no arrests had been made as of press time. Hollywood bigwigs, who have taken their case for tougher antipiracy laws all the way to Congress, are certainly out for blood. ‘’You have to find the [thief] and you’ve got to give him serious time,’’ says director Tony Scott (The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3). In fact, when he first heard of the theft, ‘’I said, shoot him!’’’ That harsh brand of justice has swept up those even tangentially involved in the scandal: Fox News columnist Roger Friedman was fired for downloading the movie and posting a positive review.
         
When the smoke clears, what impact will any of this have on the movie’s box office haul? Hard to say. When Ang Lee’s Hulk was pirated in 2003, Universal Pictures claimed the theft — of a close-to-finished print — cost it $100 million. (That could have been posturing: The movie was also leveled by brutal reviews. Universal had no comment for this story.) At least one industry insider thinks the exposure may boost ticket sales. ‘’Everyone was talking about Star Trek before this happened,’’ he notes. ‘’Now everyone’s focused on Wolverine.’’

Breadwinner 

As a single mom, Cordia Harrington just needed to bring home the bacon. She ended up rolling in dough.

By Margaret Heffernan

Cordia Harrington was tired __( I )__ standing up all day and smelling like french fries 
 __( II )__night. A property developer, she also owned and operated three McDonald’s franchises in Illinois, but as a divorced mother __( III )__ three boys, she yearned __( IV )__ a business that would provide __( V )__ her children and let her spend more time __(VI) __ them.
          
Her aha moment struck, strangely enough, after she was nominated in 1992 to be on the McDonald’s bun committee. “The other franchisees, all men, thought that was hilarious because of the word bun,” she recalls. “But the joke was on them: They didn’t know the company would be picking me up in a corporate jet to see bakeries around the world. Every time I went to a meeting, I loved it. This was global!” Photographed by Tamara Reynolds Cordelia Harrington enjoys one of her own.
          
The experience opened her eyes to business possibilities. When McDonald’s decided it wanted a new bun supplier, Harrington became determined to win the contract, even though she had no experience running a bakery. “You see a tiny crack in the door, and you have to run through it,” she says. “I really believed I could do this.”
          
Harrington studied the bakery business and made sure she was never off executives’ radar. “If you have a dream, you can’t wait for people to call you,” she says. “So I’d visit a mill and send them photos of myself in a baker’s hat and jacket, holding a sign that said ‘I want to be your baker.’” After four years and 32 interviews, her persistence paid off. Harrington sealed the deal with a handshake, sold her franchises, invested everything she owned, and borrowed $13.5 million. She was ready to build the fastest, most automated bakery in the world.
