NETFLASH: BREAKING NEWS FROM NETWORKWORLD.COM

By Sheryl Hodge

You've heard of the long arm of the law: In New York, eyesight
and memory stretch pretty far, too. The New York State Unified
Court System recently put the finishing touches on a network of
more than 350 IP video surveillance cameras. These
network-attached eyeballs record every minute of every day in
all New York court facilities statewide and link to a
multi-terabyte storage system, giving court security officials a
powerful tool to monitor and protect their facilities.

Microsoft settles with 'Spam King' for $7 million

Two years ago, Microsoft filed a lawsuit against the
self-proclaimed "King of Spam," Scott Richter, who at one time
helped distribute more than 38 billion unsolicited e-mails per
year. Richter and his online marketing company, OptInBig.com,
have agreed to pay Microsoft $7 million to settle the suit,
Microsoft and Richter said in a joint statement.

Getting IT's view of Vista

Preliminary testing of the first public beta release of
Microsoft's next version of Windows, Vista, shows that a
reorganized system for managing files and folders and new
security features aimed at thwarting malware will force
enterprise administrators to think about how these features can
be best deployed across their networks.

German bank launches new system to combat phishing

German retail bank Postbank has fallen victim to a number of
phishing attacks over that last couple of years. In response, it
is going to be the first to offer "indexed" transaction numbers,
or iTANs, designed to prevent phishers from capturing and
misusing transaction numbers required by online banking
customers to make money transfers.
