Man kills girl for crying during WC match on TV

A man beat his two-year-old stepdaughter then suffocated her to death in an American town for crying during a World Cup football match between the US and Ghana which the latter won. To make the killing look accidental, he jammed a screw down her throat.

Hector Castro, 28, has been arrested for murdering in McAllen city in Texas Saturday. Ghana beat the US 2-1.

The Monitor quoted McAllen police chief Victor Rodriguez as saying: "There are no words for this. It makes you want to think about doing lots of things to this guy, but he will face the criminal justice system just like everybody else."

ATM security flaws could be a jackpot for hackers.

Barnaby Jack, head of research at Seattle-based, security firm IOActive Labs, will demonstrate methods for "jackpotting" ATMs at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas that starts on July 28.

"ATMs are not as secure as we would like them to be," Jeff Moss, founder of the Black Hat conference and a member of President Obama's Homeland Security Advisory Council said. "Barnaby has a number of different attacks that make all the money come out."

Jack declined to discuss his techniques before the conference. The world's biggest ATM manufacturers include Diebold Inc and NCR Corp. Officials with those companies could not be reached for comment.

Banks may cringe when he speaks, fearing would-be crooks will adopt his methods. But Moss said that going public will raise awareness of the problem among ATM operators and prompt them to tighten security.

Girls Gangsta on rise worldwide.

Girls are getting more into the crime with the number of woman gangsters worldwide swelling up to between 132,000 to 660,000.

The girls in crime made up almost 25 to 50 per cent of organised crime groups in UK and US, according to a latest international study.

Though they may have chosen to go into the frontline of crime, girl gangsters, unlike their male counterparts, still are less trigger happy.

Instead of going for the guns, when confronted, the girl gangsters still opt for knives, stones and other tools as their weapon of choice, says an independent study carried out by the Geneva-based Institute of International Studies.

US-born Al Qaeda spokesman appears in new video.

American-born al Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn appears in a new video purportedly from the organization, calling President Obama "snakelike" and saying he is "running the affairs of a declining and besieged empire."

In the video, posted Sunday on Islamist websites, Gadahn criticizes what he says is the United States' "aggression and interference" in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, and also criticizes moving his "captive brothers" from detention centers worldwide to "Muslim-only concentration camps in Illinois, Bagram [Airfield, Afghanistan] and elsewhere -- all in the name of protecting the American people from the threat of Muslim retaliation for American crimes."

He is apparently referring to a maximum-security prison in Thomson, Illinois, being considered by the government as a possible venue to house terror suspects.

Beating China, India turns world’s top spam source.

A series of recent reports by Internet security companies found India has become the top spam-producing nation.

After tracking over 3 million spam messages for the week ending June 13, ICSA Labs found the maximum number, 424,224 — or 14 per cent — originated from India. The second biggest source was Russia with 11.5 per cent. While analysts have questioned the fact that China does not figure in that Top 10 list, there is consensus that India is, at the very least, among the top three nations spewing spam.

Similarly, according to the statistics featured by Project Honey Pot, the top country where spam servers are located is India, accounting for 16.9 per cent, with Brazil a distant second at 8.7 per cent. The share of countries where spam has traditionally been known to originate from, like China, has dropped, though that country still remains at Number One in Project Honey Pot’s all time list.

ICSA Labs is a US-based security firm with an anti-computer virus and spam product testing and certification facility. Project Honey Pot is a network that works with US law enforcement agencies, identifying spammers and spambots.

Bin Laden Bounty hunter is held in Pakistan.

An American man who claimed to have been on a mission to hunt down Osama Bin Laden has been arrested in northern Pakistan, police say.

They said that 52-year-old Gary Brooks Faulkner, from California, was detained in the mountains of Chitral district - just north of Peshawar.

He had a pistol, dagger and a sword and was carrying Christian literature.

Police say the man was stopped near the border with Afghanistan's Nuristan province, a known Taliban stronghold.

They say that Mr Faulkner told investigators after his arrest late on Sunday that he was on a solo mission to kill Osama Bin Laden.

"We initially laughed when he told us that he wanted to kill Osama Bin Laden," police spokesman Mumtaz Ahmad Khan told the AP news agency.

But he said that police suspicions grew when officers seized the pistol, the sword and night-vision equipment.

Brit Queen caught driving without seat belt.

An elderly lady was caught driving a car without a seat belt. But she wasn't fined because she can't be. She's the Queen!

Queen Elizabeth drove her Jaguar away from a polo match in Windsor without wearing the belt, and The Daily Mail caught her on camera.

She was not on a public road, but even if she was, the chance of her getting a ticket was a zero.

Such driving is against the law, but a reigning monarch cannot be found guilty of it.

As British courts are established on her behalf, the Queen cannot be a defendant in one -- as it would mean she was prosecuting herself.

FIFA fever kicks up cyber malware attacks.

A fake website, sourced from Symantec.

Symantec, a leading internet security firm, warns that this time around, spammers are also optimising their fake websites. Hapless net users mistake these sites for original FIFA websites and end up paying for content or stuff that does not exist. Malicious activity on the web is known to be significantly high in countries, where new internet bandwidth is made available. South Africa's new tech infrastructure, and the huge interest that the FIFA events generate, creates a “perfect storm” for cyber criminals, says Shantanu Ghosh, Vice President, India Product Operations, Symantec.

So, if you click on a colourful file attached to a cleverly-worded email from the “Canada Lottery — Soccer World Cup 2010 Promotional Draw,” for instance, be prepared to get sucked into an elaborate scam, involving your financial details, accounts and your computer. The Symantec also warns against falling for “promotional offers” from hotels in South Africa, that even throw in a free ticket for one of the matches.

DIANA ‘WAS KILLED OVER PLAN TO EXPOSE UK ARMS DEALERS’- says lawyer.

PRINCESS Diana was murdered because she planned to expose Britain’s role in the deadly arms trade, a leading defence lawyer claimed yesterday.

Michael Mansfield QC said she intended publishing an “explosive” diary to unmask those most closely involved with British land-mine manufacturing.

Mr Mansfield told the Hay Festival in Powys, Wales: “Everyone remembers she raised the profile of the land mines.

“Everybody is aware that the British involvement in the arms trade, particularly land mines, is and was a huge vested interest.

“It seems to me she had planned various visits. She had already been to Angola and she was going to Cambodia.

“A large number of land mines had been manufactured by the British. She claimed she had an explosive diary in which she was going to expose the people most closely involved in the British arms trade.”

There were rumours that his cancer was caused by a trade rival using radioactive poisoning, the 'Daily Mail' reported.

DARPA new system to dectect threat and eliminate it.

This is new of its kind new project from DARPA called SMITE (or Suspected Malicious Insider Threat Elimination). Details are sketchy (they're still in the RFI stages) but essentially the idea is to create a database of actions that correspond to "malicious" behavior; for instance, espionage. It's hoped that behaviors can be detected before they lead to an actual crime, which leads to all sorts of ethical and philosophic questions that we quite frankly don't have the energy to ponder on a Friday afternoon.
