Ok, so I open up today's spam mail folder and there at the top of the queue is a phishing email 'from' the NatWest Bank. Clicking on the "log in" button takes you to a perfect replica of the NatWest site with a page for visitors to enter in their information to 'verify' their account. The dead give away was the URL contained a non-NatWest looking domain.  What caught my eye this time, was the fact that I recognised the website that had been hacked. rather than Rather than set up their own web server to 'host' the target bank web sites, one method the bad guys employ is to use a 'hacked' website. In this case, the bad guys had obviously hacked their way into "Company A's" web server (who being an innocent party here, will remain anonymous). The

Howard Forums is a very popular forum about cell phones and cell phone carriers. Sprint currently charges $9.99 per month for access to 100 MobiTV channels.

This came as a big shock to me as I'm sure it did to thousands of music lovers who frequented Kevipod's site. "RUMOR" has it that Kevin's site was apparently shut down sometime last night after Kevin posted a leak of Mariah Cary's upcoming single, "Touch My Body." Mariah's label received information on the leak. The rest, is what you call history. :-( Blogspot deleted Kevipodmusic. This wasn't Kevin's first warning, as he had amassed multiple warnings as his music blog continued to reach new heights in popularity.Shorty after Kevin's music blog was deleted by Blogspot, some user registered the newly available URL into their account. So (as of this instance) if you visit , it is NOT Kevin who is in control of it. Kevin has created a new blog, but it's status at this moment is in limbo. K

This has the ring of urban myth, but the number is so huge it seems worth repeating: API, the trade association for Spanish property agents, is reporting that 40,000 estate agents—half the estate agents in the country—closed down last year, in the wake of the slowdown in the market. As a result, it is believed that as many as 100,000 property agents lost their jobs last year.

Robert McMillan InfoWorldWebsite: Francisco - Skype has been forced to turn off a video-sharing feature in its software because it could be misused to launch a self-copying worm attack against Skype users, security researchers said Tuesday.A bug in the software, which was first reported last Thursday by security researcher Aviv Raff, stems from the way Skype uses an Internet Explorer component to render HTML.Skype's video-sharing feature allows users to share videos hosted on two sites -- Dailymotion.com and Metacafe.com -- while chatting with other Skype users.Last week Raff showed how attackers could exploit the bug to run unauthorized software on a Skype user's PC. But on Tuesday, the security researcher said the flaw was more serious than he'd first thought. It can "be triggered by si

The Federal Election Commission will effectively go dark on Jan. 1 because Congress remains locked in a standoff over the confirmation of President Bush's nominees to the panel. As a consequence, the FEC will enter 2008 with just two of six members -- short of the four votes needed for the commission to take any official action. This means no public matching funds can be dispersed to candidates who've sought public matching funds, including John McCain and John Edwards.read more | digg story

The new get paid to Digg! website Diggbux was forced to shut down all services after receiving a formal letter sent by lawyers of Digg!DiggBux was said to have violated the terms of use of Digg!. They would be facing a lawsuit if they would not seize all operations.I have mentioned that I was a little hesitant about this program on my top 10 get paid to click site ranking which DiggBux debuted at the 5th spot. Don't get me wrong, the site was a good way to earn/make extra money online but digging posts that you don't think deserve to get digged is just plain and simply wrong.All I could say is that after all of this, there was only one winner and that is the owner of DiggBux. He got people to digg! articles and I think nobody got paid for their effort so it would mean he will be running away with all the money.Somebody better remind me next time not to promote programs like this anyomore. lol Nah!

Let the pointless speculation begin. There will be no songs played tonight in Boston. No matter the actual reason why, the Decemberists have canceled the remainder of their booked solid 2007 tour on the eve of two-night stand here in Boston. I got the sad news first from the Boston Globe via their Sound Effects Blog. My worst fears were confirmed just minutes later by my contact with Filter Magazine (online). So sad! For those of you unaware, the band got fans very excited with their media blitz on "The Long and Short of It" tour. (Two shows in each city. One night fewer, long epic Decemberists songs; second night: a few more, shorter more pop songs by the Decemberists.) It was daring fare and dynamic and a kind of social experiment. Now it has been reduced to mere speculation.The Tour Has Been Canceled. The Decemberists dropped the bombshell the day before two Boston shows at the Orpheum.The Crane Wife Album - RSL Album of the Year 2006The office story line is that someone in the ban

Question: What online service did the RIAA claim should be shut down because it has no legal use, and is primarily used to share illegal files? Answer: The World Wide Web (circa 1994) This article explains the true story of how the Web almost never was.

President Bush has vetoed a bill sensitively called "kid's health bill". The President had previously warned Congress he would veto that type of bill.

She was quick to critize Bush quite harshly,

Creating articles is also very effective in generating traffic for your website. However, deceitful authors can plagiarize your work (with very little effort).

In April 2007, we wrote a piece which is currently on the front page called Danger Zone. This piece was an assessment of the behaviour patterns of the board. This is what we said "We believe that failure to recognise this group for what it is, together with continued propagation of its propaganda through media channels, may eventually come to represent a significant danger to the public. How long will it be before this group’s activities cost the life of an innocent doctor, harassed beyond endurance by complaint after allegation after threat?"Indeed, no one listened and we have one death. I assume Penny Mellor and Mr Hemming MP will send flowers to her grave. I say this because they have both done very little to protect doctors but instead thrown most of them to the wolves. This is death number 1. There will be more to come no doubt. There is no recognition for the dysfunctional behaviour within the support group http://www.msbp.com/ . I would be interested to know whether the killer

One of the small but important changes in Windows Vista is the redesign of the Shut Down Start Menu options. Even if some people might have a different opinion, we think this design option is not very inspired. Compared to Windows XP it is more difficult to understand the options available and you need to take additional steps in order to shut down your computer or to put it into hibernate mode. This is why we decided to create separate shortcuts for each option which you can easily place on your desktop. read more
