The information is then entered into a publicly searchable database. Privacy groups say the domain registry has become a data-mining dream for marketers and spammers who constantly trawl the database for new e-mail addresses. pponents of any change in the system counter that the data is essential in resolving intellectual property disputes aiding cyber crime investigations and helping computer security experts quickly shutter fraudulent Web sites. Under the change being debated Wednesday at an… Because many scam artists offer the same fake credentials or certain pieces of telltale data when registering multiple Web sites to used in future fraud scams investigators can often identify a phishing or spam site before it even opens for business Jevans said. Forcing law enforcement officials and companies to go through a third-party contact to find this information would allow criminals to keep their fraudulent Web sites active for longer periods potentially ensnaring a greater number of victims. "We understand that legitimate Web site owners don’t want to be spammed because somebody harvested their WHIS data but we think it’s important for there to be a rapid and efficient way for brand owners to investigate phishing and spam sites.

But Fraser was told by clients as well as separately by a solicitor and a barrister about a dodgy variation on the controlled buy scheme. Drug squad detectives were providing precursor chemicals to drug manufacturers he says giving them the green light to cook drugs then splitting the proceeds of the sales. To cap off the scam Fraser says police were then turning around and arresting their associates for drug offences. Strawhorn was the prime mover of the scheme. "Strawhorn went after me as a self-preservation tactic" Fraser says. Seeking to blow the whistle Fraser had made a confidential telephone call to a trusted source within the Victoria Police who advised him to call another trusted detective within the NCA. "(When I made the call) I thought: ‘This is just outrageous these blokes are running round making a fortune and they’re pinching blokes at the same time… Strawhorn was the prime mover of the scheme.

Instead of converging at the Wadata Plaza national secretariat of the ruling PDP to elect a speaker ex-tempore members of Integrity Group have agreed to take their seats at the hallowed chamber to elect an acting speaker. This is even as organised labour girded its loins last night for a demonstration at the National Assembly today. In the same vein the leader of opposition in the House and caucus leader of the All Nigeria Peoples Party ANPP Mohammed Ali Ndume described as huge joke of the century plans of the PDP leadership to pick a speaker ex-tempore at Wadata Plaza. "I will say this is a huge joke of the century… In the same vein the leader of opposition in the House and caucus leader of the All Nigeria Peoples Party ANPP Mohammed Ali Ndume described as huge joke of the century plans of the PDP leadership to pick a speaker ex-tempore at Wadata Plaza. "I will say this is a huge joke of the century. When has Wadata Plaza the headquarters of PDP become the chamber of the House of Representatives? Where will they get the Mace our symbol of authourity? Look it is laughable but we will not tolerate it" he said in a telephone conversation. The leadership of the PDP led by Chief Bode George had instructed all party members to gather at the secretariat by 9am for the purpose of electing a speaker ex-tempore from the list of three members to be agreed upon by the pro and anti Etteh camps. Reacting to the directives of the party PDP members of Integrity Group said that there was no way they would be party to an illegality as the proper venue for speaker ex-tempore to emerge was the hallowed chamber of the House of Representatives and not from any other place. " How can we elect speaker ex-tempore without the mace and other paraphernalia of authority. Election of speaker ex-tempore must be on the floor of the House because the speaker ex-tempore will have the power of the speaker" Linda Ikpeazu who conveyed the position of Integrity Group on the directives of the party to its members said.
