Hacktivism and the Australian government; new cyber-security qualifications; the ѿý’s Rory Cellan-Jones reports from the World Mobile Conference; Gareth rings artistic digital bells.

Last week, internet activists calling themselves “Anonymous” temporarily brought down the Australian governments’ networks and they’re threatening to do it again.

The ѿý’s New York reporter, Laura Sheeter, looks at the various degree programmes emerging to fight the internet hackers. As the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona gets underway the ѿý’s Rory Cellan-Jones reports on Microsoft’s latest salvo across the mobile industry, the Windows Phone 7 series, the fifteen dollar mobile phones and he tries out Google’s new Buzz. Finally, Gareth rings artistic digital bells at the Kinetica art Fair.
