FBI Check the Murdoch Company

WASHINGTON - Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) United States launched an investigation into Rupert Murdoch's company, News Corp., after a report that the firm's employees may have been trying to tap phone conversations and voice mails from survivors, families of victims killed and victims of the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001, said a federal law enforcement told CNN on Thursday (14/07/2011) local time.

"We're steeped anyone acting for or on behalf of News Corp., from top management down to the janitors," to gather information and determine whether there has been a violation of law. The source said, because the investigation has just begun, it is still too early to say when the first interviews will be conducted. To be sure, he said, such an inspection is a "high priority".

Peter T. King, Republican lawmakers from the New York area, earlier this week, has asked FBI Director Robert Mueller, to investigate the possibility of the journalists who worked for the Murdoch-owned media have been tapping phones of victims and relatives of victims of September 11 or often referred to 9 / 11.

The tabloid quotes "a source" that refers to a former police officer who now works as a private investigator. "Penyilidik was used by many journalists in America and he recently told me that he had been asked to eavesdrop on private phone data victim 9 / 11," the source said, as reported to the media.

"He said that the journalists were asking for access to records that showed calls to and from mobile phones belonging to the victims and their families," wrote the tabloid.

"Allegations of him is that they want information so they can tap into the relevant ballot box (for their news), as it proved they had done in England."

Private investigator said he ignores the job. He knows how insensitivity such research and how bad the impact of it. Investigators said the journalists seem to be very interested to get the phone records of the victims who came from England. "

The families of the victims of the terrorist attack was furious over the possibility of phone-tapping of journalists have been victims. "That's really unethical, unprofessional and basically criminal," said Jim Riches, a retired deputy chief of the New York Fire Department who lost a son in the attack, as quoted by CNN.

Democratic Senator Frank Lautenberg, of New Jersey said the families of the victims the attacks of September 11 has "suffered enough" and demand answers.

The pressure to conduct a federal investigation of Murdoch's media empire grew when a key member of the House oversight committee called on Congress to explore allegations that one of Murdoch's companies are based in the U.S. may have violated the laws of anti-bribery and a number of other laws.

News of the World, a tabloid owned by Murdoch in the UK who have aged past 168 years and a circulation of 2.5 million copies, was closed last Sunday amid allegations that the journalists of illegally intercepting phone messages belong to murder victims, victims of terrorists, politicians and celebrities.

Two Malignant Malware Attacks Android

Recently discovered two more malware that attacks users of Android-based phones. The first is a variant of Light DroidDream who previously had attacked no less than 120,000 mobile phone users Android platform.

The second is known as Zitmo. The attack was reported to be more serious Zitmo, this malware capable of stealing bank passwords and password to transact with the unwitting owner. At least 5000 Android phone already infected malware.

According to the blog Lookout, corporate antivirus products that find both the malware, DroidDream Light was found stuck in some applications that exist on the official Android Market: Quick Falldown, Scientific Calculator, Bubble Buster and a clone of the Best Compass & leveler. The fourth application is considered feasible and is submitted to the Market by Mobnet.

Light DroidDream able to do the work in the backgroud without the phone owner's knowledge. This malware also frequently downloading their own software that could have been approved by the mobile phone user without realizing the risks. Serious threat of malware can even damage the handset itself.

Meanwhile, malware Zitmo can not damage the handset but also malware which attacks the Windows Mobile and Symbian is tasked to steal bank information from users and malware Android phone is connected to a PC and Android phones. Once the user accesses his bank's website, malware Android is immediately working with recording or SMS message code or password that gives the bank and conduct transactions on behalf of the owner's bank account without them knowing it.

The existence of many malware threats in the Android application is triggering the Google Android mobile phone users urged to apply strict criteria in approving the applications included in the Android Market. At least Google should learn from Apple in this regard. Evidenced by the selection system on Apple's application of strict, seldom or almost no malware that attacks the user's iPhone or iPad.

However, because of the many applications provider for users of Android from a third party outside of the Android Market, the threat to Android phone users against malware is getting worse. However, at least if Google is more stringent criteria for improving security and tightening approval of his application at the Market, the Android mobile phone users is a bit safer.

U.S. Concerned Malaysian Ways Overcome Protest

WASHINGTON - United States (U.S.), Wednesday (13/07/2011) local time, voicing concern about how the Government of Malaysia to handle protests backed opposition over the weekend. The U.S. also said it would oversee the development situation in the country.

Riot police have fired tear gas and water cannon to end the rally on Saturday demanding reform of electoral rules and arrested more than 1,600 people, a protester even killed.

Bomb Blasts Rock Mumbai

Three bomb blasts hit Mumbai in the biggest attack on Indian’s financial capital since the November 2008 terrorist raid, killing at least 10 people.

The blasts occurred in the Dadar, Zaveri Bazar and Opera House neighborhoods, Home Minister P. Chidambaram said in a briefing in New Delhi today.The explosions injured more than 54 people, he said. The Mumbai police chief said 15 people had died.

Mumbai is home to Reliance Industries Ltd., which runs the world’s largest refinery complex, and Tata group, India’s biggest business group by value. The nation’s stocks and bond markets are also based in Mumbai. Today’s attack is the first in the city since Pakistani gunmen killed about 160 people in 2008.

A bomb exploded around 6:50 p.m., Jayesh Labdhi, a resident in the Opera House area, said. The blast damaged cars and motorcycles parked in the area.

The injured were taken to King Edward Memorial Hospital, Saifee Hospital and Hinduja Hospital. The Dadar bomb was placed in a grey colored Maruti Suzuki car, Times Now said, citing eyewitnesses.

‘‘We have made arrangements with extra beds, medicines and blood bottles,’’ said Ajay Jagdale, the doctor in charge at King George Hospital. At least 37 people were bought to the hospital with critical injuries, he said.

Mumbai and other major Indian cities, including New Delhi, the southern city of Hyderabad and Ahmedabad in western Gujarat state have been hit by a series of blasts over the last two decades.

Two bombs killed 52 people in the financial capital in 2003, an attack for which three people were eventually sentenced to death, including a married couple. That attack came 10 years after 1993 serial bombings that killed 257 people in the city.

While India has blamed militant groups in neighbor Pakistan or home grown Islamic outfits for most of the attacks, investigators this year charged Hindu activists for their involvement in the 2007 bombing of a Pakistan-bound train service that killed 68 people, an attack earlier blamed on Muslim extremists.

A raid on Mumbai by 10 Pakistan terrorists of the Lashkar- e-Taiba groups in 2008 collapsed five years of peace talks between the arch rivals. Ties that are only now beginning to recover.

In a shift in strategy for groups attacking India, the gunmen armed with automatic weapons and grenades targeted businessmen and tourists, a strike at the international links that helped India build the world’s second-fastest growing major economy after China.
