Divers escroquerie - Interpellation de "petits genies" de
l'informatique dans une escroquerie aux coupons de cartes oranges-
PARIS, 11 fev 93 (250 MOTS)
David, Guillaume et Stephane, ages de 21, 22 et 23 ans, dont l'un
est un "petit genie" de l'informatique, ont ete interpelles, ces
derniers jours, en region parisienne, soupconnes d'avoir reencode,
grace a l'informatique, des coupons de cartes oranges afin de les
revendre, a-t-on appris jeudi de source policiere.
Depuis quelques mois, selon les enqueteurs du Commissariat des
reseaux ferres parisiens (CRFP), ils revendaient, a la cadence de
cinquante par mois, ces coupons 250 francs piece, utilisables souvent
tres longtemps (la carte orange est generalement utilisee
mensuellement).
Chez Stephane, etudiant en informatique, interpelle mardi soir, a
Vaureal (Val-d'Oise), les policiers ont notamment retrouve pres de
150.000 francs en especes provenant de cette escroquerie presumee, un
lot de materiel informatique dernier-cri, un scanner, de faux
coupons, 150 de ceux-ci vierges et un fusil.
La RATP avait depose plainte, le 18 janvier, apres avoir
constate, par exemple, a la lecture des bandes informatiques
recensant les donnees de chaque ticket de carte orange des usagers de
la region parisienne, qu'un de ceux-ci , repondant au meme code,
avait ete utilise... 7.000 fois par jour, principalement a la gare
Saint-Lazare, aux tourniquets automatiques validant les billets et
permettant l'acces aux quais.
Une quinzaine de personnes ont ensuite ete interpellees, ce qui a
permis de remonter aux trois "experts" presumes qui ont tous ete
deferes a la 8eme section du parquet de Paris.

Subject: File 2--L'ordinateur de la RATP a piege les faussaires (reprint)
Copyright: Charles Desjardins, France Soir, 1993
LES FAUSSES CARTES ORANGE ETAIENT PRESQUE PARFAITES
Trois bidouilleurs rechargeaient des coupons pour 250 F
"N'importe quelle officine informatique est en mesure de realiser
cette manip'",commente un specialiste des bidouillages electroniques en
tout genre. Deja poursuivi pour fraudes informatiques, il prefere garder
l'anonymat pour commenter le principe de cette "escroquerie a la carte
orange".
"C'est un probleme de codage. J'ai deja vu realise une demonstration
assez proche sur les cartes bleues." Premiere etape: "identifier le code
utilise sur les tickets de la RATP". Il est compose d'une serie de
caracteres alphanumeriques (chiffres, lettres ou symboles) enregistres
sur la bande magnetique situee au dos de chaque coupon.
"Pour le lire, il existe des appareils type lecteur de badge de
securite." A ce stade, le but est d'obtenir la visualisation de la chaine
de caracteres sur un ecran. Mais la difficulte consiste a faire le tri
entre les differentes versions possibles.
17 COMBINAISONS
"Pour les codes-barres, par exemple, il en existe dix-sept
differents". Ils repondent chacun a des noms compliques comme le "Barcode-
WH39" ou le "code 39 simple".
Le reve du fraudeur est bien sur d'obtenir ce renseignement
directement, par un complice travaillant dans l'entreprise, et de s'equiper
en consequence d'un lecteur de codes adapte. "Sinon, il faut bricoler, mais
cela reste possible", confie notre expert.
Une fois la chaine de caracteres revelee, il ne reste plus qu'a la
reproduire sur d'autres tickets. C'est la seconde phase. "Il existe des
appareils d'encodage qui peuvent magnetiser la partie centrale du ticket et
y imprimer un nouveau code."
Dans la fraude qui vient d'etre decouverte, les "bidouilleurs" ont
reproduit a l'identique (et a plusieurs milliers d'exemplaires) des vrais
coupons mensuels (de 1re ou de 2e classe et jusqu'a six zones), en
utilisant sans doute un scanner couleur, genre de photocopieuse tres
sophistiquee. De l'aveu meme des policiers, les copies etaient quasi
indecelables, de veritables "vrais-faux".
Il leur suffisait ensuite d'imprimer au verso de ces tickets vierge la
bande magnetique supportant un code pirate. Celui-ci provenait d'un coupon
annuel, et comportait donc une identification valable douze mois
consecutifs.
SUSPECT
L'importance du trafic est a l'origine de sa decouverte. En effet, la
totalite des portillons automatiques de la RATP sont relies a un central
informatique qui enregistre le code du coupon a chaque passage. Ainsi,
lorsqu'un ticket deja usage ou suspect est "lu", il peut etre rejete, voire
absorbe par la machine.
LA PREUVE
Le 18 janvier, un controle a fait apparaitre que la meme
identification a ete donnee plusieurs milliers de fois dans la meme
journee. Comme si un seul et meme ticket avait ete utilise a plusieurs
points de passage en meme temps. Preuve evidente de l'escroquerie. L'erreur
des faussaires? Ne pas avoir change de combinaison.
[Moderateur: Le "specialiste des bidouillages electroniques en tous genres"
ou "l'expert" cite par ce journaliste n'est personne d'autre que... le
secretaire general du CCCF. L'anonymat sur son identite semble avoir ete
secretement tenu par le redacteur-en-chef de _France Soir_.]

Subject: File 4--Donnees Secretes sur les Reserves Cambiales Bresiliennes
Repost from: Risks-Forum Digest
A Reuters report found in the NY Times (21 Jan 1993) states that computer
disks holding secret information on Brazil's banking reserves have disappe-
ared from the central bank. The federal police are investigating the loss.
According to the report, President Itamar Franco "took the unusual step" of
releasing information on the reserves to offset any damage or financial
speculation from loss of the disks. The disks held information on day-to-
day reserve operations and details like where the reserves are invested,
what they consisted of and how the reserves were generated.
COMMENTS
This disappearance may be related to ex-President Collar's involvement in
the looting of Brazil. At a minimum, the data disappearance seems to be
another indication of the Post-Hacker Era, where governments and companies
have learned that computers can be used as an essential aspect of crime
and/or to cover up a crime. The lines between "hacker" activities and
"legitimate" activities may become increasingly less clear. In order to
almost have to use computer techniques. While there continues to be an
(often unconscious) image that many have that computer crime is "bad
individuals" against "good" organizations, the Organization as Computer
Criminal is rapidly becoming a serious problem. One but certainly not the
only instance of this is the recent British Airway's penetration of Virgin
Air's resercations system.

Subject: File 6--Reactions sur "The Little Black Book of Computer Virus"
Copyright: Coastal Associates Publishing L.P., 1992
Balancing fears, rights in wars against viruses; a little black book
reveals secrets and highlights some difficult issues facing the
computer industry. (Mark Ludwig's 'The Little Black Book of Computer
Viruses, Volume I') (Issues and Trends)(MacInTouch)
Ford, Ric
MacWEEK VOL.: v6 ISSUE: n26 PAGINATION: p96(1)
PUBLICATION DATE: July 13, 1992
A little black book reveals secrets and highlights some difficult issues
facing the computer industry.
Rights in conflict. Wars always raise difficult questions about the
limits of civil liberties, and the current war on computer viruses is no
exception.
At the moment, anti-viral forces are battling to contain a breach in
the information curtain--a little black book from a virus researcher and
enthusiast that details step-by-step recipes for cooking up programs to
infect MS-DOS systems.
Black book. The author, Mark Ludwig, is a physicist who became
interested in viruses and found it difficult to obtain detailed technical
information about them.
"I find that the whole field is very secretive," Ludwig said. "There's
a closed group of people who have access to viruses and pass them around
among themselves."
Unwilling to agree to their codes of secrecy, Ludwig struck out on his
own, setting up a bulletin board system and soliciting contributions of
viruses, which he analyzed.
In Ludwig's introduction to "The Little Black Book of Computer
Viruses, Volume I," he explains his rationale: "I am convinced that
computer viruses are not evil and that programmers have a right to create
them, possess them and experiment with them."
He warns repeatedly against irresponsible use of the virus recipes in
the book but also expresses concern about governmental abuse of power.
"The book is a bad thing," said David Stang, chairman of the
International Computer Security Association. "We should have a law,
somehow, against it."
He blamed an earlier book for spawning hundreds of viruses and said
defenders of such publications "have yet to show us an example of a good
virus."
As Stang points out, Ludwig's book lacks anti-viral utilities, and it
offers little assistance to system administrators contending with real and
imagined virus threats.
Other critics reportedly have called for bookstore boycotts, picketing
and similar protests against distribution of the book.
The ICSA and the National Computer Security Association (which is open
to end users and organizations) analyze viruses and anti-viral programs,
primarily from DOS systems.
Stang claims a collection of some 10,000 viruses. "I receive viruses
from anyone, but I don't trade," he said.
The two groups distribute selected information through several public
and private channels, but current policies rule out public distribution of
sensitive materials, such as source code and viruses themselves.
Cops and criminals. In the Macintosh community, the virus problem is
smaller and under better control than in the DOS world.
An international "police force" shares viruses and information among
its members, many of whom are programmers of anti-viral utilities.
This cooperative group releases bulletins to the public about new
viruses and assists in identifying and prosecuting virus writers. Its
identity and the identity of most of its members are secret.
The group's low profile helps discourage macho challenges between
virus and anti-virus programmers, and its members avoid being overwhelmed
by thousands of false reports triggered by various other Mac bugs and
features.
Individual responsibility. As standardization and networking grow, so
does the virus threat. Imagine a virus infecting a room full of Newton
Personal Digital Assistants sharing information in a meeting.
Simultaneously, threats to individual computer users' rights also seem
to be on the rise. Consider the Secret Service's raid on game publisher
Steve Jackson or the implications of the FBI's new telephone-monitoring
proposal.
In the end, responsibility for securing our systems lies ultimately in
our own hands. Free exchange of information and control over our own
systems are our most effective defensive weapons, and we should not
compromise them in a war that has never claimed a life.
