U.S. officials are searching the Internet for the reappearance of a Web site that they believe has been used by al-Qaeda to deliver messages, including possible instructions for its next attacks, to its operatives around the world.
The Arabic Web site, recently known as alneda.com, is a "mouthpiece for al-Qaeda in exile" and one of the terrorist group's main instruments in its effort to regroup, senior U.S. law enforcement officials here say.
The site, which is registered in Singapore, appeared on Web servers in Malaysia and Texas this month before it was taken off at the request of U.S. officials. They now expect it to reappear under a numerical address in an effort to throw off FBI and CIA specialists who are trying to locate and read it. [NewsFactor Cybercrime & Security]

Despite all the stories and scares about malicious hackers, computer criminals and destructive web worms, the biggest threat to the security of a company does not come from outside.
Instead, it is employees on the inside who are most likely to cause security breaches by inadvertently spreading viruses, defrauding their employer, wasting time on the net or downloading inappropriate material.
Figures collated by computer forensics and investigation company Vogon suggest that every year one in every 500 employees will cause or trigger a major incident, be it a virus outbreak, attempted theft or accidental data deletion. [BBC]
