Telstar-12 satellite comms being jammed. Blocking broadcasts and other traffic over the Atlantic. Appears to be related to increased private TV and radio broadcasts urging rebellion in Iran, and the jammers may be located in South America. Watch for terrorists to increasingly use this technique to knock out mainstream communications in western nations. [Edward Mitchell: Common Sense Technology]

>Stripping sensitive material from PDFs. Adobe Systems recently released the new Acrobat 6.0 software. With PDF's unique feature of being uneditable and unchangeable, more businesses are welcoming the e-document concept and Acrobat 6.0. However, with the government taking a more aggressive stance in protecting classified information from the public eye, these same organizations are looking for ways to CHANGE their PDFs to comply with these privacy laws. Appligent, Inc. offers software to manipulate and customize PDFs according to an organization's preference. Today, the company launched Redax 3.5, a newly updated version of Redax, compatible with Acrobat 6.0. Redax 3.5 completely removes classified information from PDF files in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), Electronic FOIA and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). With these laws in place, organizations are being more careful in keeping classified information private when releasing documentation to the public. Appligent's Redax 3.5 allows businesses and government organizations to comply with these regulations since all deleted information from the PDF data stream cannot be reconstructed and recovered. Redax 3.5's new features include tighter integration with Acrobat. The software's redaction engine will automatically process four types of native Acrobat mark-ups: text select, strikethrough, highlight and underline. Other features include an improved user-friendly interface and a redesigned redaction engine that offers optimal support for irregular, malformed PDF documents generated by other third-party document conversion engines. Redax is used by numerous federal offices including Department of Justice, Secret Service, Internal Revenue Service and Food and Drug Administration. Redax retails for about $349. For more information contact Grace Alfredo at 610-642-8253. Appligent is the same company that makes StampPDF, which allows for bates-stamping of electronic documents.
