- SCHOOL HIRES STUDENT TO HACK INTO COMPUTERS
-
- The Sun Herald
- 22 August 1996
-
- Palisades Park, NJ - When in trouble, call an expert.
-
- Students at Palisades Park's high school needed their
- transcripts to send off to colleges. But they were in the computer
- and no one who knew the password could be reached. So the school
- hired a 16-year-old hacker to break in.
-
- "They found this student who apparently was a whiz, and,
- apparently, was able to go in and unlock the password," School Board
- attorney Joseph R. Mariniello said.
-
- Superintendent George Fasciano was forced to explain to the
- School Board on Monday the $875 bill for the services of Matthew
- Fielder.

-
- Whether or not the espionage charges are true, my first take is this
- reinforces the claim that we can't trust the government with our most
- intimate secrets. If it's even possible that a 20-year old kid might have
- "broken into a supposedly impenetrable" military system, any key-escrow
- infrastructure the Feds set up will be similarly vulnerable.

- U.S. Army Private Faces Spying Charges
-
- WASHINGTON (Reuter) - The U.S. Army said Wednesday it had charged a
- 20-year-old computer specialist with espionage and computer crimes in a
- case that the soldier's parents said involved a Chinese national.
-
- Pfc. Eric Jenott of the 50th Signal Battalion at Fort Bragg, North
- Carolina, was formally charged June 28 and is in a Marine Corps jail in
- Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, awaiting court-martial, the army said.
-
- "The case involves classified information and matters pertaining to
- national security," a three-paragraph statement from Fort Bragg, home
- of the Army's 18th Airborne Corps, said. It said many of the case's
- details were too sensitive to disclose.
-
- Jenott has been charged with giving "secret computer passwords relating
- to the national defense" to a Mr. Lee, "a citizen of a foreign
- nation," his lawyer said, reading from the charge sheet. He also faces
- charges of destruction of government property and larceny.
-
- The charge sheet alleged Jenott disclosed the passwords between April
- and June "with the intent or reason to believe it would be used to the
- injury of the United States or to the advantage of a foreign nation."
-
- It said the passwords "directly concerned communications
- intelligence," among the most closely guarded U.S. secrets.
-
- Jenott is facing a general court-martial, the most serious kind, and
- a possible life sentence if convicted, his lawyer, Timothy Dunn, of
- Fayetteville, North Carolina, said in a telephone interview.
-
- He said his client was "not a criminal" but had broken into a
- supposedly impenetrable system after advising his superiors of defects
- in the security system. Dunn declined to discuss the system because
- of what he called the case's sensitive nature and national security
- implications.
-
- John Jenott said his son, a fluent Chinese speaker whom he described as
- a "computer genius" with a longstanding interest in China, had given a
- young Chinese friend what the son described as an unclassified computer
- code.
-
- He said his son knew the person to whom he gave the code from one
- of several trips he had made to China. His son, "not your average
- kid-out-on-a-skateboard-type guy," could read and write Chinese and
- lived with a Chinese family in Vancouver, Canada, for about a year when
- he was in high school, the father added.
-
- He said his son told him that before giving away the code, he had
- been trying to show his superiors a security flaw in a sensitive
- communication system and eventually demonstrated he could get secret
- data without authorization.
-
- "He was trying to say we have a weakness," John Jenott said in a
- telephone interview from his home in Graham, Washington. "This stuff
- about being a spy -- it's ridiculous." His stepmother, Kelly Jenott,
- said, "They're blowing this way out of proportion."
-
- His father said an Army major at Fort Bragg, whom he declined to name,
- had urged him to persuade his son to sign a confession, so prosecutors
- would not seek the death penalty.
-
- Jenott said his son had told him, "Dad, I'd rather die than sign
- that."
-
- "He said it's not true. He said, 'I'm not a spy. I didn't commit
- espionage. And I'm not going to sign something that says I did,"'
- Jenott said.

- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
-
- 8/22/96 -- The holders of copyrights to material authored by
- L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the controversial Church of Scientology,
- have agreed to dismiss the operator of a Los Angeles-based computer
- bulletin board service as a defendant from a lawsuit alleging
- copyright infringement over the internet.
-
- Early last year, Religious Technology Center (RTC) and Bridge
- Publications sued Tom Klemesrud, the operator of the service, along
- with his subscriber, Dennis Erlich, and Netcom On-Line
- Communication Services, Klemesrud's internet service provider.
- Netcom settled out earlier this month. The lawsuit, which
- continues to proceed against Erlich, an ex-Scientologist, alleges
- that Erlich infringed copyrights by posting material written by
- Hubbard to a Usenet newsgroup known as "alt.religion.scientology."
- The internet newsgroup has become widely known for its impassioned
- postings by both proponents and critics of Scientology.
-
- In a novel claim that would have tested the limits of
- liability in cyberspace, the plaintiffs had contended that
- Klemesrud and Netcom should be held legally responsible for the
- alleged acts of Erlich because he used their computer services to
- make his postings to the internet.
-
- Federal District Judge Ronald M. Whyte ruled in November 1995
- that Klemesrud could not be found liable for direct infringement,
- and could only be found liable for contributory copyright
- infringe-ment if there was knowledge of a BBS user's infringement.
-
- "This is the most important thing we have achieved in this
- litigation. It has positive ramifications for all of the
- Internet," Klemesrud said.
-
- The plaintiffs claimed significant economic damage resulting
- from the postings. They alleged that those who might otherwise
- have purchased Scientology materials and services were able to
- obtain them for free once Erlich posted them to the internet.
-
- The claims against Klemesrud were settled for $50,000, an
- amount that is to be paid by Klemesrud's insurance carrier.
- Important to Klemesrud, himself a critic of the Church of
- Scientology, is the fact that the terms of the settlement include
- no admission of liability on his part.
-
- "Settling this case was a business decision by my insurance
- company," Klemesrud said. "I would have liked to stay in there and
- participate in total exoneration, but I understand it would have
- been a lot more expensive to take this case all the way through
- trial rather than to pay this token amount now, and be happy with
- the positive results we've achieved."

- Subject: File 5--Anon.penet forced to reveal names
-
- Don't know if you guys saw this already, but I just read it in a
- newsgroup.
-
- Today (August 22nd 1996), the city court in Helsinki ordered
- Julf Helsingius to reveal the identity of the anonymous poster
- who posted scientology scriptures to a.r.s in March.
-
- In its decision, the court says that anonymous server logs
- are not protected by any legislation. Therefore, the information
- needed in the police investigation must be provided to the police.
- The court also recognized the church's right to control the
- publication of the posted documents. Furthermore, the court says
- that the anonymous poster, not anyone else, is legally responsible
- for the postings.
-
- Julf Helsingius has 30 days to reveal the name. The decision
- cannot be appealed.
-
- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
- Today on 22nd of August the local court of first instance in
- Helsinki decided that Johan Helsingius has to reveal the email
- adress asked for by the Police Department of Helsinki. This has to
- be done within 30 days when summoned for interrogation.
-
- Since this is merely a part of a case, this decision can't be
- appealed. If Helsingius still refuses to reveal the info he will be
- repeatedly fined and ultimately jailed for up to six months. The
- decisions about fines and jail can be appealed, but an appeal won't
- stay the execution of the ordered fine/jail, only a judgement of the
- appeals court will. The questions about different appeals in this
- case are somewhat complex and regarding the possibility to appeal it
- was a split decision (4-1).
-
- The court ruled against Helsingius in this matter. During the
- hearing Helsingius argued against this view in many ways: he
- objected on constitutional grounds and on grounds relating to
- statutes regarding criminal investigation.
-
- This information is based mainly on message <4vi0tt$geq@idefix.eunet.fi>
- in the local Finnish newsgroup sfnet.keskustelu.laki, by Kaj Malmberg,
- the police officer in charge of the investigation of the matter where
- Scientology scriptures were posted through anon.penet.fi.
-
- More reports from this case will probably follow soon.

- ACLU Responds to Princeton "Clarification" of Internet Censorship Policy:
- End It, Don't Mend It
-
- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- Friday, August 23, 1996
-
- Contact: Ann Beeson, ACLU National, 212-944-9800, x788
- David Rocah, ACLU of New Jersey, 201-642-2086
-
- NEW YORK--The American Civil Liberties Union today criticized Princeton
- University's "clarification" of its policy barring faculty, students and
- staff from using the schools' computer network for "political purposes,"
- calling on the university to rescind the ban.
-
- The clarification memo was issued after the ACLU contacted Princeton in
- an August 15 letter, urging university officials to end its policy.
- According to the Princeton clarification, the policy was meant to prevent
- students and staff from "personal use" of the network specifically for
- "campaign activities."
-
- In a follow-up letter sent today to Princeton officials, the ACLU said
- the university's response "still falls short of constitutional
- requirements," and would only serve to confuse the issue further." The
- letter was signed by Ann Beeson, ACLU national staff attorney and David
- Rocah, staff attorney for the
- ACLU of New Jersey.
-
- "The clarification is as clear as mud," said David Rocah. "In fact, the
- only thing that's clear about Princeton's policy is that it is still
- unconstitutional." Rocah said the policy violates free speech protections
- in the New Jersey state constitution.
-
- In its memo, issued late yesterday, Princeton conceded that the policy
- was "overly broad," and stated that "students, faculty and staff are
- generally free to communicate their personal views on political candidates
- using e-mail and the Internet." But officials once again cited the
- university's not-for-profit status as a rationale for limiting speech,
- warning that "the IRS may deem personal use of University resources for
- campaign activities, including use of the Internet, to be political
- campaign activity by the University itself."
-
- That interpretation is still wrong, the ACLU countered. "As we pointed
- out in our initial letter, Internal Revenue Service rulings make clear that
- only campaigning by Princeton officials on behalf of the university could
- affect its tax-exempt status," said national staff attorney Ann Beeson.
-
- "Just as students have traditionally distributed political campaign
- material on the university commons, they have the right to send it through
- the Internet," Beeson added. "In fact, campaign literature is arguably the
- most fundamental type of speech in our democratic system of government.
- There is nothing more important than choosing our political leaders and
- knowing what they stand for."
-
- The letter urged Princeton to resolve the issue quickly as the
- presidential election approaches, and requested a meeting with Princeton
- officials to discuss the matter further. If the university refuses to drop
- its censorship policy, the ACLU said it would consider legal action.
-
- Note to Editors: The ACLU's August 23 letter to Princeton follows. Please
- contact our national press office at (212) 944-9800, ext. 414, for copies
- of the ACLU's original August 15 letter and copies of the Princeton policy
- memos. To access this information online, visit the ACLU's website

- TEXT OF LETTER FROM ACLU COUNSEL TO PRINCETON UNIVERSITY:
-
- August 23, 1996
-
- BY FACSIMILE, E-MAIL, & REGULAR MAIL
-
- Howard S. Ende
- Office of General Counsel
- 120 Alexander Street, 2nd Floor
- Princeton, New Jersey 08544-2086
-
- RE: Computer Use Policy
-
- Dear Mr. Ende:
-
- We believe the clarification you issued yesterday regarding Princeton's
- policy on use of the computer network for political purposes still falls
- short of constitutional requirements. We suggest a meeting with you and
- President Shapiro to discuss the issue further; we are both available for a
- meeting during the week of September 9 - 13.
-
- Specifically, the memo issued yesterday will further confuse Princeton
- students and staff regarding their political speech rights on the computer
- network, and thus will inhibit speech protected by the New Jersey State
- Constitution. The memo rightly concedes that the policy statement dated
- July 19, 1996 is "overly broad," and that "students, faculty and staff are
- generally free to communicate their person views on political candidates
- using e-mail and the internet." However, the memo goes on to state that
- "Nonetheless, we continue to ask everyone to bear in mind that the IRS may
- deem personal use of University resources for campaign activities,
- including use of the internet, to be political campaign activity by the
- University itself."
-
- This final sentence is inaccurate as a matter of law. As stated in our
- letter dated August 15, 1996, personal use of the network for "campaign
- activities" is constitutionally protected political speech and in no way
- threatens Princeton's tax-exempt status. See ACLU Letter to Princeton,
- 8/15/96, at 2. Because Princeton provides fair and equal access to the
- computer network to all University members, and allows use of the network
- for a variety of non-political purposes, the provision of computing
- facilities to students and staff, even for campaigning activities, will not
- jeopardize the university's 501(c)(3) status. The computer network is
- analogous to the Princeton commons, where university students and staff
- have long been free to distribute and obtain campaign literature and to
- encourage votes for particular political candidates. The fact that this
- activity is taking place on the computer network makes it no less protected
- political speech. In fact, campaign literature is arguably the most
- fundamental type of speech in our democratic system of government. There
- is nothing more important in choosing our political leaders than knowing
- what they stand for.
-
- The recent statement is also vague and fails to notify university members
- clearly as to whether personal use of the network for "campaign activities"
- is a violation of university policy. In addition, the University now has
- issued at least five separate policies and statements that govern use of
- the computer network for political purposes: the August 22, 1996
- clarification memorandum; the July 19, 1996 memorandum on "Internet use and
- Policy;" the "Computer Use" guidelines at page 11 of the Rights, Rules,
- Responsibilities handbook; the "Guidelines Relating to the Tax-Exempt
- Status of the University and Political Activities," at pages 14-15 of the
- Rights, Rules, Responsibilities handbook; and the 1995-96 "Guidelines for
- use of Campus and Network Computing Resources." These conflicting policies
- and statements are sure to cause confusion among university members, which
- will inhibit students and staff from exercising their right to free speech
- on the computer network.
-
- If you continue to believe that 501(c)(3) restrictions prevent certain
- political communications over computer networks, we urge you to seek an
- advisory ruling on the matter from the Internal Revenue Service. In the
- meantime, all five policies and statements must be clearly and
- unequivocally suspended, and a statement must be issued clarifying that all
- university members and groups may engage in political speech and campaign
- activities over the computer network so long as they do not purport to
- speak for the university itself.
-
- Because we are nearing the end of an election year, it is crucial that this
- matter be resolved quickly in order to ensure that Princeton students and
- staff are able to exercise fully their political speech rights.
-
- Thank you for your prompt response to our prior letter and your willingness
- to continue this important discussion.
-
- Very truly yours,

-
- Recently the London police sent a letter to U.K. Internet providers saying

-
- >From observations at <http://www.uk.vbc.net/censorship>, it's clear that:

- Pornographic Material on the Internet
-
- Further to the seminar held at New Scotland Yard on 2nd August I enclose,

-
- We have attempted to confirm that the Newsgroups listed currently contain

-
- This list is only the starting point and we hope, with the co-operation
- and assistance of the industry and your trade organisations, to be moving
- quickly towards the eradication of this type of Newsgroup from the
- Internet. At the seminar we debated the means of maintaining an up to
