On Thursday of last week Kaspersky Lab announced the discovery of Gauss, a malware virus that appears to be related to previously uncovered malware Stuxnet, DuQu, and Flame. As with these viruses, the cybersecurity firm believes Gauss was created with the support of a nation-state, and because many infections were found in Lebanese banks it is speculated that the malware was targeting the financial transactions of Hezbollah. On Friday Lebanon's former Information Minister Michel Samaha was detained for allegedly plotting a series of bomb attacks against Sunni Muslims in northern Lebanon on behalf of Syrian President Bashar Assad. Samaha is described as an associate of Hezbollah and personal friend of Assad, whereas Lebanese Sunnis have generally sided with anti-Assad forces in Syria. More information has surfaced on last week's arrest of Manfred K., a civilian employee of NATO at Ramstein airbase in Germany. Although unconfirmed, there are reports that Russian FSB offered Manfred money for information on U.S. global tactical plans as well as the passwords of senior military officers.

FBI Gives Police Free Tool to Convert Photos for Facial Recognition. Within weeks, police nationwide should be able to obtain free software for matching photos of unidentified suspects against the FBI's biometric database of 12 million mug shots, according to an Office of the Director of National Intelligence agency. The FBI and Homeland Security Department are experimenting with facial recognition to determine the real names of illegal immigrants, identify persons of interest in candid photos, and fulfill other law enforcement responsibilities. To make that happen, however, law enforcement agencies at every level of government must share images with compatible technology that they can afford, former FBI officials say. So, the bureau is offering agencies some of the equipment at no cost. "Later this summer the FBI will deploy the Universal Face Workstation software, a free-of-charge client application that will provide users with the tools for conducting and managing facial/photo searches with a minimal resource investment," Kshemendra Paul, program manager for the Information Sharing Environment within the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, wrote in his annual report to Congress. The document notes the FBI database under development, the $1 billion Next-Generation Identification system, recently began testing facial recognition on images of alleged perpetrators uploaded by several state agencies. Currently, only governments with operational facial recognition technology can participate in the trial. Those states now have access "to a national gallery of more than 12 million legally collected mug-shot photos to be searched in aid of investigations," Paul wrote. Facial searches could one day be faster and more accurate than police lineups, advocates say. This is not the first time the bureau has offered free biometric software to law enforcement partners.

Afghan officials say they have launched an expanded effort to spy on their own police and army recruits, an acknowledgment that previous measures designed to reduce insurgent infiltration in the country's security services have failed. The steps come amid a spate of "insider" attacks that have shaken the U.S.-Afghan military partnership during a stage of the war that hinges on close partnership between the two forces. Nine U.S. troops have been killed by their Afghan counterparts in the past 12 days. They are among 40 coalition service members who have died in insider attacks this year. President Obama, in his most extensive comments to date on the issue, said Monday that his administration is "deeply concerned about this, from top to bottom." The Afghan measures include the deployment of dozens of undercover intelligence officers to Afghan security units nationwide, increased surveillance of phone calls between Afghan troops and their families, and a ban on cellphone use among new recruits to give them fewer opportunities to contact members of the insurgency, Afghan officials say. The initiatives appear aimed at addressing U.S. criticism that the Afghan security forces are not doing enough to ferret out insurgents within their ranks. The top U.S. military official, Gen. Martin Dempsey, was in Kabul on Monday for consultations on the matter, and Obama said he would soon be "reaching out" to Afghan President Hamid Karzai. "Soldiers must feel that they are under the full surveillance of their leadership at all levels," the Afghan army chief of staff, Gen. Sher Mohammad Karimi, said in an interview after meeting with Dempsey and other U.S. commanders. "Initially, it will have a negative impact on morale, but we have to do something. We have to look seriously at every individual." [Read more: Sieff/WashingtonPost/20August2012]
Cuban Spy Appeals his Miami Conviction. An appeals lawyer for the leader of five Cuban spies convicted in a Miami trial filed an affidavit Monday arguing that Radio/TV Marti secretly paid millions of dollars to journalists to influence jury members against his client. The document was filed in support of Gerardo Hernndez's habeas corpus appeal filed earlier this year, asking U.S. District Court Judge Joan Lenard, who presided over the "Wasp Network" trial, to overturn his conviction. Hernndez is serving two life sentences on charges that encrypted reports he sent to Havana helped Cuban MiG jets shoot down two unarmed Brothers to the Rescue airplanes over international waters in 1996, killing all four South Florida men aboard. Martin Garbus, a prominent civil rights lawyer, argued in the brief that the U.S. government tainted the jurors in the trial of the five Cubans by using the U.S. government-owned Radio/TV Marti to hire journalists expressly to produce reports condemning the spies. The New York attorney noted that some of the payments were secret - the affidavit uses the word 55 times - and argued that prosecutors should have revealed them to the defense during the trial. The government's continuing refusal to make some information public amounts to a cover-up, he added. The negative reporting amounted to illegal propaganda "by agents, not journalists," designed to predispose potential jurors to convict the five, Garbus added. He gave no details on the 12 jurors who convicted the five. "Every dollar for every article, image, radio or television show that was spent on this secret program violated the integrity of the trial," Garbus wrote.

Nearly half of federal agencies are not sharing documented incidents of potential terrorist activity with U.S. intelligence centers, according to officials in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The Homeland Security and Justice departments since 2008 have been teaching federal officials and police to deposit, through a secure network, reports of suspicious behavior while being mindful of civil liberties. The point of the technology is to piece together terrorist plots before they are executed. But, some criminal justice experts say, a major obstacle is dampening the effectiveness of the initiative. Work is slow-going in connecting local agencies to fusion centers, intelligence facilities partly funded by the government that vet reports for possible distribution through the Nationwide Suspicious Activity Reporting Initiative. The system is a virtualized inventory of tips that any federal, state or local government authority can search. When asked, "How often does your agency forward all validated [reports] to the NSI (if at all)?" nearly half - 46 percent - of federal departments told ODNI that they were not frequently sharing leads. In a new report to Congress, the Information Sharing Environment, an agency within ODNI, stated that 16 percent of agencies said they never submit notices, 15 percent reported they rarely file, and 15 percent said they sometimes share. Most federal agencies - 83 percent - are filing suspicious activity reports but not very often, according to the assessment. The 20 agencies represented in the survey include the Energy, Health and Human Services, State and Treasury departments, as well as the CIA and many Defense Department intelligence agencies. The government defines suspicious activity as behavior or incidents that could portend preparations related to terrorism, crime, espionage or other illicit schemes.
