    Bloggin' and Joggin' Along We, the previously un-heard, are changing the whole of the media industry today. Concurrently we are affecting the news and the news makers (be they politicians, entertainers, statesmen, businesses or sports persons) who are becoming increasingly aware that we are no longer hostage to the concoctions of clever copywriters, PR spinners, media pundits, and the secret backroom decisions made by them to sway the public’s opinions. We were called the “Silent Majority” over so many past years. We had no voice. Our perceptions were unknown. Our allegiances were uncertain. Our intelligence was questioned. The MSM disregarded...

    Bropia worm spreads on the back of MSN Messenger 5:04PM A new virus is using the MSN Messenger system to spread. Known as Bropia.A, the worm waits on an infected system until the Messenger window is opened and then sends a copy of itself to contacts, using filenames adaware.exe, VB6.EXE, lexplore.exe and Win32.exe. If a contact accepts the file and runs it, it checks to see if any of the previously mentioned files are present, and if not, places a file called oms.exe on the computer and runs it. This is a variant of Rbot, which installs a backdoor on...

Isn't that a sweet, inspiring name? So original too, I'll bet no one in the sixties were clever enough to call themselves a liberation front. They have replaced our site URL with a bunch of commie nonsense that can be viewed here. If anyone has the ability to give them a taste of their own medicine, payback will be a female dog. Of course we would never condone such an action, we would prefer to...

    SAN FRANCISCO (CNN/Money) - A Rice University computer scientist and two of his students discovered a potentially serious security flaw in the desktop search tool recently distributed by Google, a newspaper report said Monday. The glitch, which could permit an attacker to secretly search the contents of a personal computer via the Internet, is what computer scientists call a composition flaw, the New York Times said. "When you put them together, out jumps a security flaw," Dan Wallach, an assistant professor of computer science at Rice in Houston, told the newspaper.

Mens News Daily editor-publisher Mike LaSalle has not responded to queries as to the duration or source of the attack, or when the site might return to service.

    Unprotected PCs Fall To Hacker Bots In Just Four Minutes By Gregg Keizer, TechWeb.com The lifespan of a poorly protected PC connected to the Internet is a mere four minutes, research released Tuesday claimed. After that, it's owned by a hacker. In the two-week test, marketing-communications firm AvanteGarde deployed half a dozen systems in "honeypot" style, using default security settings. It then analyzed the machines' performance by tallying the attacks, counting the number of compromises, and timing how long it took an attack to successfully hijack a computer once it was connected to the Internet. The six machines were equipped...

    Early this month, several Web sites began offering software promising ringtones and screensavers for certain cell phones. But those who downloaded the software found that it turned every icon on their cell phones' screens into a skull-and-crossbones and disabled their phones, so they could no longer send or receive text messages or access contact lists or calendars. Security experts named the malicious software "Skulls" and consider it an early warning of the damage hackers could do as they turn their malevolent talents to cell phones from computers.

    Hackers co-opted several popular Web sites including comedycentral.com over the weekend, using them to infect thousands of computers with a virus that can be used to steal passwords, bank accounts and other personal information. Displaying an increasingly sophisticated approach to online theft, the hackers gained control of a German online advertising services firm and served up thousands of Internet ads designed to send visitors to one of several Web sites where the hackers had installed the virus. Hackers also can use the virus to plant programs on victims' computers that send out spam, flood monitors with pop-up advertising or...
