On May 16th this week, C3L will be holding its Extraordinary General Assembly, due to some organizational circumstances. The start will be at 7 PM in syn2cat hackerspace.
All related information can be found on the wiki page, as on the ML and on Twitter.
“Datensicherheit muss gelernt sein”, schlussfolgerte der Chaos Computer Club Luxemburg im Januar dieses Jahres aus der Datenpanne beim Centre médico-sportif. Hierbei wurde bekanntlich ein auf dem Bildschirm eines Arztes klebendes Passwort “kopiert”, woraufhin rund 49.000 Datensätze eingesehen werden konnten. Nun geht es in die zweite Runde: die Regierung nimmt zum Gegenschlag aus und ermittelt gegen zwei Personen, die schlicht die Überbringer der schlechten Nachricht waren.
“Don’t shoot the messenger!” würde sich hier wunderbar als Referenz eignen.
Der Chaos Computer Club Luxemburg zeigt sich besorgt gegenüber der heiklen Situation im Sportministerium, bei der 48.670 private und medizinische Datensätze von Sportlern ohne größere Vorsichtsmaßnahmen im Netz abrufbar waren.
Legitimation solcher Datenbanken
Die sogenannte „Médico-Sportif“ Datenbank, die vom „Centre Informatique de l’Etat“ administriert wird, enthält 48.670 Datensätze. Jeder dieser Datensätze enthält privat und medizinische Informationen zu einer Person. Da ein Mitarbeiter eines „ Centre Médico-Sportif“ die Zugangsdaten zu eben dieser Datenbank auf einem Post-It auf seinem Bildschirm stehen hatte, war es der Person die den Vorfall bei den Behörden gemeldet hat ein leichtes sich Zugang zu diesen Daten zu verschaffen.
Who is Anonymous and how do they define themseleves? Are they hackers or not? And by the way: what is a hacker? Do they also exist in Luxembourg?
These were questions Gérard Floener from RTL Radio Luxembourg was interested in and asked C3L for their opinions in these matters. Below you can find the entire interview as the article as well:
RTL Radio – Anonymous, Arcelor Mittal, Hacker, Hackerethik a Sécherheet
As you might have seen, Anonymous Belgium – to treat with caution – has released a video announcement in which they directly address parts of their attention to Arcelor Mittal in the coming soon future. In short: Anonymous accuses them of having broken their promises, making large benefits every year and still relesing people out of their jobs.
RTL did a coverage on this and Anonymous itself and asked besides the CIRCL, the C3L for its view on the topic. The interview as the original video message can be found here:

Some of you have not yet heard about it. Some of you already started counting days in October. And some of you will already be prepared from the years before.
Behind Enemy Lines
The Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin is reaching its 28th happening; this years topic:
Behind Enemy Lines
As every year, hackers from all over the planet – and beyond ? – are joining the movement in Berlin for 5 days of non-stop hacking on all subjects. However, as not everyone is able to join folks in the digital stronghold, solutions needed to come up…
If you might think that protecting your data adequately doesn’t make much of a sense, because your are not the kind of person that border police on the US lines would check, I would suggest to think about it a second time after having read this guide.
These security / protection recommendations don’t apply only on a trip to the US, but to all your journeys and especially your entire life. Keep in mind to protect your data anywhere and at anytime they are.
Did you notice? It is still the same, but faster! This has something to do with our new server we’re on. Migrated a few hours ago, everything went just fine and until now, no issues.
If you encounter any problems regarding the services (i.e. IRC) we’re providing or with the website / wiki, please let us know.
It’s been quite while since the last post, but don’t worry we’re here and watching, even when we’re not present daily on the blog.
This Friday (28th October ’11) evening at 20h30 hackers from C3L and syn2cat will join Radio ARA and the show Lët’z Hack! to discuss the Cortana project for an entire hour on Air supported by good old and new fashioned 8-bit, chiptune and nerdcore music.
Updates will follow soon after this one. A small sneak preview? We’ll finally move to a new server soon.
Hacky to you all
Dear fellow CCC hackers!
Today 30 years ago the idea of the Chaos Computer Club (CCC) has been developed in the editorial rooms of the daily newspaper Taz. To celebrate this day, the history, the clubs achievements and some more, we’ll watch some documentaries of the CCC at the ChaosMeeting tonight.
We’ll conclude the evening with some hacking in the wireless area.
