| Trend Micro Sees Growth of Underground Cyber Crime Economy
In 2007, cash-motivated Web threats broadened; for 2008, the distinction between "good" and "bad" Web sites will be blurred when it comes to security. Sydney, AUST., February 26, 2008 Trend Micro Incorporated, a global leader in Internet content security, recently published its 2007 Threat Report and 2008 Forecast. According to research from Trend Micro's TrendLabsSM, hackers are intensifying their attacks on legitimate Web sites. It debunks the adage to "not visit questionable sites" just because a user visits a gambling or adult-content site doesn't necessarily mean Web threats are lurking in the shadows; the site with the latest sports news or links in a search engine result, however, could potentially infect visitors with malware. An underground malware industry has carved itself a thriving market by exploiting the trust and confidence of Web users.
Day Of Reckoning Arrives For DP Blog
1)We need some formatting to be allowed in our posts. Every post currently looks like a big RUN-ON SENTENCE. 2)This is separate matter from Liz's new blog software, but that stupid "News, Sport, Gossip" etc. bar above Liz's photo (and on every page at the DN) looks out of place and hopelessly OUTDATED. It's ugly. Plus it gets even uglier when I have to increase the font size on the DP to read things and it goes all out of wack. The DN's recently hired web guru needs to do some serious remodeling on that bar of links...and a lot of other stuff to to mane the DN look at least Web 2.0. 3)I don't mind a captcha, but I too (like Galt, I assume) am having a little trouble reading it. The black on gray is difficult to see. Maybe something could be done to help us old farts who wear glasses and are going blind trying to read the captcha.
Rich Hofmann: There will be a lot to digest in Clemens steroids ...
I WAS GOING TO HAVE a Roger Clemens Hearing Party but didn't know what to serve. The other sports are so much easier. Super Bowl parties all have a hollowed-out loaf of bread, kind of shaped like a football, with some dipping glop poured inside. If you have people over to watch a fight on pay-per-view, it's pretty much chips right out of the bag. But what do you do with this? And can you drink at 10 o'clock on a Wednesday morning? Or, rather, can you not drink and get through it? So many questions. Like, can ESPN's Chris Berman find a way to keep himself off of Deadspin for 5 minutes and come up with a few nicknames on the pregame show? Like, say, Henry "Turtle" Waxman? If I were a member of the committee, one of the esteemed honorables who had the good fortune to be assigned to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform - screw that Foreign Affairs or Ways and Means stuff - I would be torn about my appearance.
Wells fires free-kick winner
The game only got the go ahead an hour before kick off as morning rain had made the pitch very heavy but fortunately the wind got up and blew the worst of the showers away and the game went ahead. Cambridge had fought a 2-2 draw at the Beveree earlier in the season but on this occasion never really got to grips with the conditions or the opposition. .
Plans to Raze NIU Shooting Site Debated
Nothing has been introduced yet," Sen. Brad Burzynski said. "What that will entail at this point in time will probably not be what the governor envisioned." Rep. Robert Pritchard said he has received calls from alumni, students and community members. "People think the governor reacted too quickly and that he's calling for a solution that hasn't thoroughly been discussed so that people can understand it ... to see if the solution matches the need," he said. The key issue, he said, is figuring out how to meet the university's need for classroom space. Puterbaugh, the newspaper editor, said university officials may be interested in the replacement building because of the chance to get money after years of limited aid from state government.
Verizon Business Hits Bullseye With New System for Texas Hunting and ...
AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The state's more than 2.1 million licensed hunters and anglers, who constitute one of the largest hunting and fishing populations in the nation, are now able to obtain licenses more quickly and conveniently, using a state-of-the-art system deployed by Verizon Business for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. The system upgrade was provided under an existing Verizon Business contract with the agency. Verizon Business worked with the state to upgrade from an existing point- of-sale system to a leading-edge, completely Web-based automated sales system for processing hunting and fishing licenses in the Lone Star State. The underlying network and existing data centers have also been upgraded. Texas issues about 2.1 million hunting and fishing licenses annually and an additional 600,000 items including stamps, permits, tags and commercial licenses.
phpBB3 takes giant strides from predecessor
As the world gets smaller, security threats and spam seem only to grow. PhpBB is the open source Internet Forum package that underlies a majority of the online forums on the Internet and its creators take their motto "creating communities" very seriously. All communities need to interact freely and safely, and although a long time coming, the latest release, phpBB3, has several increased security measures, as well as enhanced collaboration features and mobile optimisation. Computerworld Australia catches up with some key players behind the software: Henry Sudhof, Adam Reyher and Meik Sievertsen. They discuss the development process they use, the latest phpBB release and what they are doing to address the growing wave of spam and security threats. Is there any way to guage how many people use phpBB? Henry Sudhof: For Open Source software that is a very difficult question to answer.
