First Diaspora Code Laden with Security Flaws

Project Diaspora recently released the source code of a pre-alpha version of the software meant to be an open, distributed and privacy aware alternative to Facebook. This allowed developers around the world to look at the innards of Diaspora and start making their own contributions to the development process.

Hackers who have already surveyed the code don't have nice things to say about its security. They identified flaws that would allow potential attackers to compromise user's security in a variety of ways. As the owner of Bingo Card Creator, a Japanese software company, says, there is currently "nothing that you cannot do to someone's Diaspora account" including hijacking of user accounts, friending users without their permission, deleting other people's photos etc.

Certain flaws lead some to question the competency of Diaspora developers, adding to the chorus of voices expressing early disillusionment with the project. Not everyone is as harsh, however, pointing out that this is indeed just a pre-alpha, a first public code release, and that flaws are to be expected. It is probably too early to make final judgments.

Diaspora started as a fund drive for $10,000 to develop a social networking platform that would give its users complete control over their privacy, which would be completely decentralized, and open source. The fund drive came at a time of wide spread dissatisfaction with Facebook's privacy practices and thus managed to attract a large following, bursting through the set goal of $10,000 to reach over $200,000 in pledges.

Fans of the project, some of which literally banked on its success, are eager to start deploying it so they can start offering it as an alternative to Facebook. However, taking into consideration the security flaws hackers are warning about, it will be a bad idea to deploy the software in "production" capacity until it is in its final instance. Doing so could easily lead to compromised users and tainted credibility, which will only add to an already extremely difficult task of taking on a social networking giant.

IBM Sees Africa as Place for Growth

On the lookout for new markets, it seems that IBM has set its eyes on a large piece of property that hasn’t quite developed yet. However, should IBM’s predictions go accordingly, it could be incredibly profitable. That property is Africa.



On Friday, it was announced that IBM would be handling the computing technology and services that power Bharti Airtel’s—an Indian telecommunication company—mobile communications network that spans across sixteen different African countries.



When the agreement is completed, IBM will manage IT infrastructure to support Bharti Airtel’s goal of supplying affordable mobile services to areas of Africa that haven’t been touched. IBM will also deploy Spoken Web which is a voice enabled Internet technology that allows for users to share information by talking over the telephone.



IBM and Bharti Airtel have been working together since 2004 when the South Asian mobile communications company chose IBM to run the IT and applications for its entire Indian network. That year, it had six million subscribers. This year, it has more than 150 million subscribers. The Indian company hopes that having IBM on board in Africa will allow them to replicate that success.



According to a study, only 40 out of every 100 Africans have a mobile phone. Demand, though, is growing at an average rate of 25 percent annually. It is believed that a 10 percent rise in mobile penetration could increase GDP by 1.2 per cent. In developing markets, that 1.2 per cent is much needed.



In a press release, IBM described this as “a move that will accelerate the transformation of African mobile communications and positively impact the speed of economic development across the African continent.”



Samuel J. Palmisano, Chairman, President and CEO of IBM said: “"By building a 21st century telecommunications infrastructure for the continent – in effect, treating all of Africa as a system of systems – we expect to help spark transformation not just in communications but across all sectors of society – empowering businesses, governments and individual citizens to connect, innovate and achieve economic growth."



While Africa is, as a whole, very small in the technology market today, analysts believe that it is ready for growth. Some analysts argue that what IBM is doing is getting in on the ground floor so that, when the explosion of growth happens, they are there ready to benefit from it.



It is expected that this growth will bring more jobs, more connectivity and a significant increase in mobile telecommunication to the region. And, it is anticipated that this will aid IBM in its goal to increase its revenue from growth markets from 19 per cent to 25 per cent by 2015.Sources......

'No pardon' for Ecuador's rebels

Soldiers opened fire on police to rescue President CorreaEcuador's President Rafael Correa has said there will be "no pardon or forgiveness" for those involved in a police rebellion against him. Mr Correa had to be rescued by the army from a hospital in the capital, Quito, after he was trapped there for several hours by disaffected police. The president was being treated after inhaling tear gas fired by police who were protesting at austerity measures. Related stories Two people died and dozens were injured in the unrest, officials said. The president and his supporters said the police revolt over a new law cutting benefits for public servants amounted to an attempted coup. A state of emergency has been declared. Mr Correa said there were be "a deep cleansing of the national police", and that he would "not forgive nor forget" what had happened. The commander of Ecuador's police force has since resigned, a police spokesman said on Friday. South American heads of state held an emergency meeting in Argentina and called for those behind the revolt to be tried and punished. AnalysisThe sight of two key state institutions, the national police force and the military, exchanging gunfire will be one which worries many ordinary Ecuadorians, and reminds them of the past. Ecuador's history is peppered with violent street uprisings which often ended with the removal of the head of state. In this instance, there was to be no such outcome, but it was a sign of how polarised life in Ecuador has become in recent years, with Mr Correa dividing opinion across the country. The initial reason for the protests -austerity measures - was almost lost among the high drama of the presidential siege. But that, and other issues such as an impending decision on whether to dissolve parliament and call an early general election, are facing Mr Correa when he recovers from what was, without doubt, his toughest day since taking office. Ecuador protests: Your photos Mr Correa, a 47-year-old US-trained economist, took power in 2007 and was elected for a second term in 2009, despite a decision to default on $3.2bn of global bonds, which caused widespread fiscal problems for the government. 'Kill the president' Mr Correa had to be rescued after the hospital he had been taken to was surrounded by rebel policemen. Mr Correa was smuggled out of the hospital under cover of darkness as a gun battle raged between troops and the rebels. He said he had told his captors he would "come out as the president of a worthy country or... as a corpse". Speaking to his supporters outside the presidential palace later, Mr Correa said he hoped the events of the day would serve "as an example to those who want to bring a change and stop the citizens' revolution without going through the polls". "I give so much thanks to those heroes who accompanied me through this hard journey," the Reuters news agency reported him saying. Ecuador's political instability 2005: President Lucio Gutierrez deposed after two years, following massive protests in response to his attempt to overhaul the Supreme Court2000: Jamil Mahuad, elected 1998, forced to step down as president after two years following indigenous protests led by Col Lucio Gutierrez1997: President Abdala Bucaram, nicknamed "El Loco" ("the crazy one"), declared mentally unfit to rule after a year in power1987: President Leon Febres Cordero kidnapped and beaten up by the army in protest at policies of privatisation and public expenditure cutsEcuador timeline "Despite the danger, being surrounded, ministers and politicians came, to die if necessary. With that bravery, with that loyalty, nothing can defeat us." The drama began on Thursday morning when members of the armed forces and police angry at the austerity measures occupied several barracks and set up road blocks across the country. Police also took control of Quito's international airport for several hours. In an emotional speech to soldiers from Quito's main barracks, President Correa tore at his shirt and said: "If you want to kill the president, here he is. Kill him, if you want to. Kill him if you are brave enough." Moments later he was forced to flee the barracks wearing a gas mask when tear gas was fired by the protesters, and he was taken to hospital. Mr Correa has blamed the Patriotic Society Party (PSP), led by Lucio Gutierrez, for fomenting the unrest. In a television interview, Mr Gutierrez said the accusation was "totally false". On Wednesday, one minister had said the president was considering disbanding Congress because members of his Country Alliance had threatened to block proposals to shrink the bureaucracy. Ecuador's two-year-old constitution allows the president to declare an impasse and rule by decree until new elections. However, such a move would have to be approved by the Constitutional Court. The BBC's Will Grant, in Venezuela, says Mr Correa could still choose to rule by decree in an effort to stay in control in the immediate future.

UN to publish Congo rights report

More than one million Hutus fled Rwanda for DR Congo during the fighting The United Nations is set to publish a controversial report into human rights violations in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the 1990s. The final version is believed to have toned down its language after an earlier, leaked draft provoked fury from Uganda and Rwanda. Both countries were accused of committing war crimes against ethnic Hutus in DR Congo during the conflict. They had threatened to pull out of UN peacekeeping missions in response. The report into conflicts in the DR Congo between 1993 and 2003 is said to detail crimes never previously documented. It covers some 600 incidents and includes allegations of massacres of civilians, torture, and the destruction of infrastructure that led to civilian deaths. Rwanda had reacted furiously to allegations that its Tutsi-led army may have committed genocide in DR Congo, known as Zaire until 1997, against Rwandan Hutus. Under President Paul Kagame, Rwanda has always said its forces entered Zaire to pursue Hutu militias responsible for carrying out mass killings in Rwanda - the rebels had fled to Zaire along with tens of thousands of Hutu refugees.President Kagame threatened to withdraw Rwandan peacekeepers from the joint UN-African Union peacekeeping mission in Sudan's Darfur region in response to the report. He was only persuaded not to after a visit from the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, and agreement that Rwanda would be allowed to submit comments for inclusion in the report. DR Congo and Rwanda: Troublesome neighbours April-June 1994: Genocide of Tutsis in RwandaJune 1994: Paul Kagame's Tutsi rebels take power in Rwanda, Hutus flee into ZaireRwanda's army enters eastern Zaire to pursue Hutu fighters1997: Laurent Kabila's AFDL, backed by Rwanda, takes power in KinshasaCongo killings 'may be genocide' Analysis: Defining genocide Q&A: DR Congo conflict Profile: Rwanda President Kagame The BBC's Barbara Plett at the UN says that while the final version appears to still contain the suggestion that Rwanda's army may have committed genocide, the language used has been toned down. Despite the changes, Rwanda's Foreign Affairs Minister Louise Mushikiwabo said the document remained "flawed and dangerous from start to finish". She criticised the methodology used to collect evidence and accused the UN of seeking to rewrite history, saying the report had been "a moral and intellectual failure as well as an insult to history". Uganda, which was also accused of atrocities, described the draft report as "deeply flawed" and had threatened to pull out of peacekeeping missions, such as Somalia. The country's UN ambassador, Ruhakana Rugunda, has told the BBC the document should not be published as it is not a "well-considered, objective report". But he said Uganda's commitment to Africa would not be derailed. "Our resolve to play our role in the region remains certain because we regard it as our inherent pan-African obligation to stand by the side of other African brothers and sisters," he said. The UN report covers the wider conflict in DR Congo, which dragged in several neighbouring countries in what has been called "Africa's world war". More than five million people died in the war and its aftermath - mostly from starvation or disease.This article is from the BBC News website. � British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
