The news as of the first coffee this morning, and the music is Duke Ellington's "Track 360:"
SpoofEm.com has launched their latest service, Wiretrap. "Most anti-spyware programs detect spyware on a computer, but Wiretrap is a Web-based service that will detect 'who' installed spyware on an individual's computer," company officials say.
"The main objective of a hacker is to somehow get spyware installed onto a victim's computer. This spyware allows the hacker to follow every keystroke that is entered through the system," explains Sheehan Toufiq, IT Spokesperson and Assistant Developer to the Wiretrap Project. "With this information a hacker can enter an e-mail account to steal personal, social, and even financial information."
Evidently when a hacker opens the Wiretrap set by the user and clicks the link in an attempt to steal information, the hacker's IP address, information and location is sent back to the victim, as Toufiq explains: "If the individual who installed the spyware has a Webcam or microphone attached, or built into their computer, Wiretrap will take pictures or an audio recording of the culprit."

Then the pictures, audio recording, IP address, and other information of the individual who installed the spyware will then be e-mailed to the victim. "It's an exciting new concept. Once a hacker opens up our decoy message and that web link is activated, BAM, your hacker has just been caught red handed," says Toufiq.
SpoofEm.com's flagship product is a caller ID spoofing service which allows users to call any number and have any 10-digit telephone number show up in the caller ID. It also includes features like voice disguising, call recording, and text messaging from a different number.

NCIC Inmate Telephone Services has announced the implementation of Virtual File Store from Iron Mountain to its Inmate Call Engine.
This lets The Virtual File Store allows "virtually real-time" back up of inmate telephone call recordings and call detail to multiple data bunkers located around the country. The recording server is connected directly to the ICE platform recording system, so it can record the calls live without any access from jail or NCIC staff.
The Virtual File Store program with Iron Mountain is used -- "by most Fortune 500 companies," company officials claim -- to store data off-site for redundancy and security. It has added a "future-proof" feature to NCIC's secure, encrypted storage capability in that it can handle up to 100,000X's growth capacity instantaneously.
"As an added bonus," Iron Mountain officials say, the company offers professional witnesses for courtroom testimony to guarantee the security and authenticity of the original call: "This encryption protocol now means you are Defense Attorney Ready, as NCIC now offers you a comprehensive records management system."
The feature doesn't allow any type of deletion of any call recordings or call detail by jail staff or employees of NCIC for up to one year of the original date of recording. Each file is "stamped" by Iron Mountain to ensure that no call can be modified or manipulated.
NCIC guarantees 100 percent redundancy of recordings and data during any outage or major disaster as well.
The company operates a network of inmate calling platforms across the United States, and owns a multilingual customer service call center in Texas in addition to selling collect call and prepaid inmate telecommunication services for the detention and jail industry.
