 [FHSagora] BOOK REVIEW: Florida's Forgotten Visionary: Moses Elias Levy
Though Levy never cared much for politics, and seldom voted, he was more in line with the Whigs who denounced Democrat's "cult of the common man." Thus Levy gravitated naturally to cultivated planters, business and banking men who were his son's Whig opponents like Peter Sken Smith, Joseph Hernandez, and George Fairbanks.
Levy was a proto-Zionist, a social activist, and utopian theorist who questioned and rebelled against orthodoxy and the political status quo.
Highly regarded by prominent officials, Levy reintroduced sugarcane as a viable crop; organized the first Florida development corporation; was instrumental in establishing the territory's earliest free public school; helped found the village Micanopy, the first distinct United States town in Florida; and served for many years as East Florida's most vocal and influential Jewish resident.

While the name Elias Levy is well-known in computer-security circles, denizens of the online underground might be more familiar with his "Aleph One" handle.

 An Early Jewish Floridian   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Because Levy observed the Sabbath, spoke fluent Hebrew and knew the Bible, the Claphamites respected Levy as a lineal descendant of the ancient Hebrews, whose religion, they believed, was the wellspring of Christianity.
Levy argued that, first, banks and businesses would have to be created to invest in non-slave agriculture and the children of slaves would have to be educated in agricultural techniques.
Despite these reservations, Levy was one of the few individuals living in the American South to propose emancipation —even if he was in the relative safety of London when he made his views public.

This scenario could be repeated in the future because BugTraq moderator and SecurityFocus.com CTO Elias Levy indicates that he's going to stick to a hands-off policy regarding the source code that passes through his list.
Levy's lawyers are probably telling him that the hands-off, at-your-own-risk policy might be the only way to go.

Students of the American past are increasingly being urged to heed the call of "trans-Atlantic history," to enlarge their subject beyond passport control by letting their own particular sub-fields-whether it be slavery or ideas-lap upon the shores of Africa and Europe.
Levy is best known for his initiative in establishing a Jewish agricultural colony in Florida called Pilgrimage, the first communitarian settlement in American Jewish history.
The remainder of Levy's adulthood was spent as a divorced man, with no significant liaisons-not because no J-Date yet existed but because his solitude betokened an essential shyness as well as wariness.

 [No title]
Plaintiff contends that the levies against his assets were unlawful and therefore the information relating to the levies was impermissibly disclosed.
He contends that the levies were unlawful because they were issued while he was complying with an installment agreement and his account was on non-collectible status.
Venen's factual contention that the levies were unlawful is material only if an authorized disclosure of information under section 6103(k)(6) is converted into an unauthorized one when the disclosure occurs in the process of establishing an unlawful levy.

 NewsFactor Network
SecurityFocus chief technology officer Elias Levy told NewsFactor Network that the hole is not a major threat, but that its existence highlights the fact that instant messaging, used widely in the corporate world, has largely been overlooked from a security standpoint.
Levy said that AOL is probably working on a patch for the problem, but added that instant messaging, like other computer applications, is driven by features more than by security.
Levy said that unlike e-mail, instant messaging is a relatively new application and, with ever-changing features and functionality, it is susceptible to security gaps.

 Wired News: Apple Leaker May Stay Free
However, Elias Levy, a security expert at Security Focus, said if Worker_bee had any brains, he or she would have registered the account under a false name and not posted the product leaks from a machine at work.
Levy said there was a only 50-50 chance that the various website and ISP logs would reveal Worker_bee's true identity.
Levy said it would be more difficult to trace Worker_bee if they used a phony name to register an account at a free ISP, like NetZero, which sometimes does little to validate the identities of users, Levy said.

One of our correspondents noted that family lore held "all the Sepharadim are related one way or another." It certainly seems that way, as we read about the inter-relationships between families and the population centers in the region.

Sounds to me as if the default password is, in fact, a "backdoor", according to the definition that Mr Levy himself put forth.
My final comment is that there is a lot of talk about the media spreading FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) through their sensationalizing of stories and events regarding computer or network security.
Mr Levy's article has a subtitle that begins by denouncing "security companies", yet the only example that he puts forth is a statement made by ISS.

 H-Net Review: James M. Denham on Moses Levy of Florida: Jewish Utopian and Antebellum Reformer
Knowledge of Moses E. Levy's activities in Florida, the Caribbean, and in Europe--especially his planting and utopian enterprises in the Alachua County region--has always been sketchy.
In this work Levy collaborated with other leading Jewish business leaders and intellectuals in the United States and Europe, including Frederick Warburg, Moses Myers, and Mordecai Noah.
During these years in St. Augustine in the 1830s and 1840s Levy's estrangement from his son became complete.

 Wired News: Scenes From the Hacker's 'Hood
Levy's conclusion came following the release of "Motives and Psychology of the Black-hat Community" -- an installment in an Internet security series of papers dubbed Know Your Enemy.
Levy concludes that the appearance of politics or clear direction in Internet attacks is often belied by the overall inconsistency and randomness of hackers once they make a break-in.
The likely Pakistani origin of the attack documented in the SecurityFocus.com paper should not be taken as an indicator of the common origin for denial-of-service attacks, Levy said.
