Qaddafi Reaches Into Schools but Some Youths Elude His Grasp
The crackdown by the government of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi against the rebels trying to unseat him has extended even into Tripoli’s schools, where students talk about visits from military officers warning them to watch only state television, payments of 200 Libyan dinars a day to attend pro-Qaddafi rallies and their fears that confiding in the wrong friend may mean interrogation by the secret police.
“I can give you a certainty that there was killing,” whispered a 14-year-old girl at a Tripoli school, saying anxiously that she could not name the killers, “but I think you know.”

2011 Libyan uprising @ wikipedia
The 2011 Libyan uprising began as a series of protests and confrontations occurring in the North African state of Libya against Muammar Gaddafi's 42-year rule. The protests began on 15 February 2011 and escalated into a widespread uprising by the end of February, with fighting verging at the brink of civil war as of 6 March 2011 (2011 -03-06)[update]. Inspiration for the unrest is attributed to the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, connecting it with the wider 2010–11 Middle East and North Africa protests.[19]
By the end of February, Gaddafi had lost control of a significant part of the country, including the major cities of Misurata and Benghazi.[20][21] The Libyan opposition had formed a National Transitional Council and free press had begun to operate in Cyrenaica.[22] Social media had played an important role in organizing the opposition.[23]

Ernste Sicherheitslücken bei der Bundesfinanzagentur hin
Der Chaos Computer Club (CCC) hat nach einem anonymen Hinweis die Webserver der Bundesfinanzagentur überprüft. Dabei traten gravierende Sicherheitslücken zutage. Auch das Internet-Banking ist betroffen.
Auf den Internetseiten der Bundesfinanzagentur [1] konnte jahrelang jeder Internetnutzer mit seinem Webbrowser eigene Angebote für Geldgeschäfte einstellen sowie die Angebote der Finanzagentur verändern und ergänzen. Ob und welche Transaktionen seit 2009 dadurch manipuliert wurden, ist bisher nicht bekannt. Die Mißbrauchsmöglichkeiten wurden dadurch erleichtert, daß die Agentur dem Surfer einen graphischen Datenmanager [2] anbot.
