"Spyware, Phishers Play Off Google.com"

By Gregg Keizer, TechWeb News

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Spyware authors and phishing scammers are using a technique almost as old as the Internet to draw unsuspecting users: Web sites purposefully designed to take advantage of typing errors.
Finnish security firm F-Secure has discovered a site just one letter different than Google.com that when accidentally visited, drops a slew of malicious software on users' PCs.

The site, and several affiliated sites, are registered to various Russian nationals, said F-Secure, which has alerted local authorities."

"Florida Enacts 'Force With Force' Law"

ASSOCIATED PRESS

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) --

Supporters said the measure brings Florida in line with a number of other states.

''To have to retreat ... defies common sense,'' Bush said."
