P2p Circulator

at a recent hearing of the Government Reform Committee (7-24-07). describing it as a new threat to national security "Clark said," We found all the secrets of the Pentagon network server with sensitive information on other P-2P networks hackers dream. "

Clark, now president and CEO, Wesley K. Clark & Associates and board member of Tiversa, Inc., which conducts 350 million searches per day, compared to Google 150 million daily searches.

"If everyone knew the extent of the risks of P2P networks, America would be outraged and demand solutions" Clark suggested regulation and mandatory defensive active monitoring programs, especially for sensitive government documents. "If you wait for the trial, you have waited too long." Clark noted that many of our national information security leaks were fresh, complete and were often distributed on home computers over P2P networks.

Chairman Henry Waxman (D) investigating the LimeWire P2P networks StreamCast and invited to appear with other interested experts on illegal file sharing before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on oversight and government reform. Last March, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has published a study revealing that inadvertent file sharing continues to threaten the privacy and national security.

"This is the new threat to internal security," said Robert Boback, told the hearing. "We found thousands of cases of business from bank statements, server passwords, financial data, public company data, human resources, medical records and fortune 500 companies in the minutes compliance. "

"One of the defining characteristics of contaminated networks is that users rarely know they are sharing files on their computer with other users on the network," said President Safwat Fahmy SafeMedia Corporation in his written testimony on how technology SafeMedia was developed to address illegal sharing of copyrighted content on P2P networks contaminated. "Our technology eliminates the risks of identity theft and security of contaminated P2P networks that affect consumers , students, businesses and our national security. "

Fahmy also said in his written testimony to the committee that "P2P networks, to work and survive, he must file sharing for all users. If users can not share files to download, then the network would be pointless and cease to exist. Thus, developers of P2P software create a directory on the user's computer called "shared" to be transferred on demand to any user on the entire network most often without the knowledge of users, when the installation. "

Other surprising testimonies surface Prof. M. Eric Johnson, Director, Center for Digital Strategies, Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. To illustrate the threat of P2P file sharing, its researchers have conducted a series of "honey pot" experiments. They posted the text of an email message containing an active VISA (debit) card numbers and AT & T phone in a directory of music in a P2P network that was shared via Limewire contaminated.

"It seems that both map makers were able to obtain funds that the activity was divided into two groups," Johnson said of the hearing. And it happened, because only one person uses Paypal, which is more US-centric, while the other used Nochex, which is UK-centric. In one week, the calling card was also depleted.
