Man Faces Five Years in Prison for Snooping Through Wife's E-Mails
Happy 2011 to everyone. -------------------- Here's an interesting case that could end up setting new boundaries in the area of privacy.

Could someone face prison time for snooping through a spouse's e-mails? <http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/facebook-infidelity-cheating-spouses-online/story?id=12272421> For Leon Walker of Michigan, the answer was yes. Suspecting that his wife was involved with another man, and worried that it was affecting their daughter, Walker logged into Clara Walker's Gmail account last summer. Walker, 33, said it was easy for him to log in because his wife kept the password in a book next to the computer. "I definitely felt it was OK to confirm [the affair] by reading her e-mail in our home," said Walker. While Walker believed it was OK, Oakland County prosecutors did not and have charged Walker with felony misuse of a computer. If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison. This is Michigan's first criminal prosecution for snooping through a spouse's e-mails. So far, two Michigan judges have refused to toss out the charges in the potentially precedent-setting case. "It's outrageous. It's insane," Walker, who is now divorced, told ABC News. Prosecutors contend that Walker -- who is a computer technician -- illegally hacked into his wife's computer after she had filed for divorce, but Walker's lawyer calls the prosecution's claim an overzealous application of a law meant to protect trade secrets and credit card data. "People who live under the same roof, be they married or not, and who share a computer -- as in this instance -- they may have some personal privacy lines that they adhere to. And if they don't, that's between the two individuals," defense attorney Leon Weiss said. "The word 'e-mail' does not appear in this statute. This is an anti-hacking statute," Weiss said. "It does not, in any way, shape or form encompass reading somebody's e-mail." Prosecutors scoff at defense claims that Walker is a victim. "Apparently, they are trying the case in the media, because they are not doing so well in the courts," Oakland County prosecutor Jessica Cooper said in a statement. While Walker's case is a first for Michigan, it is not the first time the privacy between a husband and wife has become a matter for the courts. Federal privacy laws state that even with a shared computer, password protected e-mail accounts are private, unless one of the parties allows access. "The law is a simple unauthorized access law: It prohibits unauthorized viewing of someone else's password-protected files," said Orin Kerr, an Internet legal expert. "The legal issue here would be whether the wife gave the man permission to view her account. If she did not, this is a pretty straightforward." And experts say the same law would apply to other forms of communication, including a letter addressed to your spouse. "If you give them permission, you can do anything you want to. But if you don't, it might be a crime," said Perry Aftab, a privacy lawyer. Walker will face trial Feb. 7 in a case that could set bold new boundaries in the murky area of privacy between a husband and a wife. <http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/facebook-infidelity-cheating-spouses-online/story?id=12272421>
Suppose, in the process of this impropriety, Mr. Walker ended up discovering impropriety on the part of the wife as far as their marriage is concerned, there is likelihood of a divorce case being upheld, based on proof from the e-mails. I wonder if in such a case the "government" will still shy off looking at the evidence just because it was dug under circumstances that it considers felonious. I think this is a case of the govt meddling in a marriage. However, this is the US where marriages are a strange contract, short term in most cases so it doesn't come out as a surprise to me that the govt looks at marriage this way, for the govt is the people, representing the people. Happy 2011. On Mon, Jan 3, 2011 at 11:38 PM, Alice Munyua <alice@apc.org> wrote:

on a windows based web server, it got defaced. Possibly the fedora apache test page is a sign that some background web development work on a new site is ongoing.

Really there should not be much doubt as to whether the Police website was hacked or not. Some insights here http://www.theonlinekenyan.com/2011/01/kenya-police-website-hacked.html for those who did not follow. The police website hacking even became quite the buzz and humor with Kenyans on twitter in the last 48 hours (search the hash tag #KenyaPolicePassword). More seriously though, it should have been common sense for the police to simply bring down the site as they figured out a way out of the security breach (Delink DNS pointer in worst case scenario). For about 48 hours the site remained an embarrassing exhibit -international embarrassment to the police (and Kenya government). Regarding the name servers, why go so much beyond the primary one - hazina.treasury.go.ke ? Regards Kieti On Wed, Jan 5, 2011 at 11:35 PM, Wainaina Mungai <wainaina.mungai@gmail.com>wrote:

Wait a moment!

So, the IP is obtained from Telkom. A whois lookup shows the block in which it belongs as not delegated so I can't tell whether the website is hosted on Telkom's equipment or govt equipment. It would be nice to know who has custody of the server that was compromised, in order to answer the question posed by Muchiri on "Who would ultimately be responsible for responding to breaches of this nature on government IT infrastructure?" Looking at the Kenya Police website, I see nothing important in it that can affect govt operations but I could be shortsighted. Police are not known to be that IT Savvy as to be able to operate/interact with Netizens. They don't conduct any business online - not even those e-mail addresses listed on their website. Most Police officers are computer illiterate. Maybe that is one of those things we need to be looking at, now that there is focus on the Police/govt. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!

So, the IP is obtained from Telkom. A whois lookup shows the block in which it belongs as not delegated so I can't tell whether the website is hosted on Telkom's equipment or govt equipment.
Of course, it should be listed as assigned to a customer, UNLESS, it's counted as part of Telkom hosting infrastructure, which is quite possible from this dig: $dig 109.24.62.in-addr.arpa ; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> 109.24.62.in-addr.arpa ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 1141 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;109.24.62.in-addr.arpa.

It would be nice to know who has custody of the server that was compromised, in order to answer the question posed by Muchiri on "Who would ultimately be responsible for responding to breaches of this nature on government IT infrastructure?"
Call it Telkom IMHO. -- Cheers, McTim "A name indicates what we seek. An address indicates where it is. A route indicates how we get there." Jon Postel
Just wondering, has anyone from the Kenya Police come out and made a statement around this? It's scary that the Kenya Police ( a day later) had no clue that their site had been hacked!

The nameservers were simply an entertaining detour.
and puck has provided free secondary service for a long time as well, nothing sinister there. Deathstar.org is a
very old domain and like someone pointed out, in the 90's coming up with creative eyebrow-raising names was cool. Now we read anything in everything :) Is there overlap between what the ICT board does and the GITS department at Treasury where public sector ICT policy is concerned? Who would ultimately be responsible for responding to breaches of this nature on government IT infrastructure?
I've no idea.

Have you tried a KENIC lookout for any other .go.ke domain? Personally I find nothing sinister with puck.nether.net. The domain names created on the Internet are crafted mostly out of the imagination of the people behind them. When the Internet started and there was only .com, .net, .org (I don;t remember if there was another in that TLD space) only your creativity with {domain|host}names won you accolades with your peers. puck.nether must be from such creativity/imaginativity:) On Wed, Jan 5, 2011 at 9:52 PM, Wainaina Mungai <wainaina.mungai@gmail.com>wrote:

It's been hacked and defaced again -- Josiah Mugambi

Not 100% sure of the facts but the original site was apparently running on
a windows based web server, it got defaced. Possibly the fedora apache test page is a sign that some background web development work on a new site is ongoing.
