Cyber criminals building more but smaller botnets 2007-10-02 04:31:00 Cyber criminals building more but smaller botnetsBy Gemma Simpson, Special to ZDNet AsiaMonday, October 01 2007 07:48 AMCyber criminals are downsizing their botnets to try and trick software security companies. Computers infected with a virus unknowingly become 'zombies' in a botnet--which is a network used to send out spam and to mount further attacks on other machines. The zombie army can be controlled remotely with the botnet creators usually trying to build the largest possible botnet of compromised computers to rent out to gangs for as little as US$100 for a couple of hours. But researchers at antivirus company F-Secure have reported seeing these large networks being broken down into smaller groups of compromised computers because the creation of large botnets is not creating as much revenue for such cyber criminals. Mika Stahlberg, program manager of the security response team at F-Secure, said the company is still seeing very big botnets around the world but coders are no long Read more:Cyber
Tip of the day:How to Shotgun a Beer 2007-09-30 01:02:00 How to Shotgun
a BeerTrying to impress those drinking buddies? Here's how to shotgun a beer from a can in less than 5 seconds.Steps*Hold the beer horizontal. If you don't do this, the next step is going to make a mess. *Take the can opener and puncture a hole on the side of the can, near the bottom. NOTE: If you think about it, when holding the beer slightly horizontally, there will be a small air pocket near the corner of the can, if you can puncture the hole in the air pocket properly, no beer will shoot out... *Quickly place your mouth over the hole, so that you don't spill any of the beer, and turn the can upright. *Hold the can with your mouth on the recently made hole at the bottom, suck on the can until little or no more beer will come out and then open the can at the top. *Start drinking as fast as you can. *The ability for air to get in from the top of the can will force the beer out of the bottom at a very intense rate. Tips*Tip the beer at a 45% angle, so the top is facin
Nine die in Myanmar protest crackdown 2007-09-28 01:45:00 Nine die in Myanmar protest crackdownBy Aung Hla TunYANGON (Reuters) - Troops cleared protesters from the streets of central Yangon on Thursday, giving them 10 minutes to leave or be shot before chasing them through the city, firing into crowds and beating people.State television admitted nine people were killed in actions which stung an outraged Association of South East Asian Nations, one of the few international groupings which has isolated Myanmar as a member, into expressing its "revulsion".Far fewer demonstrators took to the streets as the junta clamped down and soldiers raided monasteries in the middle of the night, rounding up hundreds of the monks who had been leading protests.As international concern mounted, U.S. President George W. Bush called on all countries with influence over Myanmar to tell the junta to stop using force. He met with China's foreign minister to press the point."Every civilized nation has a responsibility to stand up for people suffering under a brutal

Five of the Dirtiest Malware Tricks 2007-09-28 01:43:00 Five of the Dirtiest Malware
TricksFrom disguising applets to look like part of Windows to co-opting security tools, Web crooks use a variety of methods to bypass your system's safeguards.Erik LarkinPC World Thursday, September 27, 2007; 12:19 AMIf the crooks behind viruses, Trojan horses, and other malicious software were as stupid as they are scummy, we'd have a lot less to worry about. But as protective measures get better at stopping the obvious attacks, online creeps respond with underhanded moves to invade your PC. Here are five of their dirtiest tricks, all based on Trojan horses. Don't mind me--I'm only here to break your PC: It's like sending in a different scout each time to open the gate for the rest of the invaders. The "Glieder Trojan" and many others use a multistage infection process whose first step is a tiny program that the crooks can change constantly so your antivirus watchdog is less likely to recognize it. Once it gets in, the downloader tries to disable you
Tip of the day:How to Convert an Old TV Into a Fish Tank 2007-09-26 01:45:00 How to Convert
an Old TV Into a Fish TankHave you discovered a dinosaur of a TV set in your attic? It sure can't compete with today's flat-panel units, but it doesn't have to head straight for the junk pile -- if you're creative. Here's how to make it do something those plasmas will never pull off: turn it into a fish tank! Steps1) Rebuild the cabinet out of MDF/Craftwood so that it allows for a flip lid. 2) Stain it with an acrylic estapol satin stain. 3) Attach the original legs to the finished cabinet. 4) Stain or lacquer all the surfaces multiple times to ward off any effects of condensation (the formation of water droplets) in the enclosed space. 5) Build in some ventilation at the back to discourage condensation within the cabinet. 6) Get a tank that is slightly wider and taller than the screen. If your T.V. console won't fit a standard tank size, you can have a custom one built to fit. Make sure that you leave enough room for the reflector/light (about 6 cm). A remote b

Liam Tung, ZDNet Australia25 September 2007 01:43 PMC-level employees of publicly listed companies are being targeted by cybercriminals using malware-infected RTF (Rich Text File) documents disguised as recruitment letters.Security vendor MesssageLabs reported that 1,100 e-mails containing malware-infected RTF attachments have been recorded over a 16-hour period this month. Four separate waves appeared between 13 and 14 September, the company said."All [the emails] were going after C-level management. The e-mails included the company name in subject field, purporting to be a recruitment company. What it had in the attachment is an executable RTF file," a MessageLabs spokesperson said.Similar e-mails were noticed in June this year, he said.The e-mail, which contained no body text, included an .SCR screen saver dummy file within an executable RTF file, the spokesperson said.

cops after pot stashstolen
September 7th, 2007 by Nick A marijuana dealer telephoned police after armed thieves stole his quarter-pound stash of pot. The 19-year-old Felton man told police that two men, one of them armed with a handgun, robbed him at gunpoint as he sat in his car on Tuesday night.“It was unique to have people who were dealing drugs calling us when they’ve been ripped off,” police spokesman Zach Friend said.After the thieves made off with his stash, the dealer telephoned police. When police arrived, the dealer’s story became progressively confused.First he showed officers a medical marijuana card and told them he bought the pot at a medical marijuana dispensary. Then he said he got the pot from a friend. Eventually the dealer admitted he had arranged to sell the marijuana to the men who stole it from him, investigators said.The Felton dealer wasn’t arrested.“From our standpoint, it’s more important to address the fact there are individual

Vodka drip saves poisoned Italian, and no hangover 2007-10-13 05:31:00 Vodka drip saves poisoned Italian
, and no hangover
Sydney, Australia 10 October 2007 09:11 Australian doctors used an intravenous feed of vodka to keep an Italian tourist alive after he consumed large quantities of a poisonous substance.The 24-year-old man, in an apparent bid at self-harm, had swallowed ethylene glycol, found in antifreeze, which can cause death. Doctors administered pure alcohol, the conventional antidote, but exhausted the hospital's supply.Desperate to continue the treatment the doctors at Mackay Base Hospital in Queensland state hooked up an intravenous feed of vodka, hospital officials said."The patient was drip-fed about three standard drinks an hour for three days in the intensive care unit," Dr Todd Fraser said in a statement on Wednesday."Fortunately for him he was in a medically induced coma for a good portion of that. By the time he woke up I think his hangover would have well and truly gone," Fraser said."The hospital's administrators were also very und
