Financial data stealing virus


Financial data stealing virus 06/29/2004 08:29 PM
Is your financial data safe? If you are using Internet Explorer, chances are that it is not. There is a new virus making it’s rounds that takes advantage of three separate exploits built within Internet Explorer. While Microsoft was able to issue a patch for two of the three exploits, the remaining one is certainly enough to get yourself infected. Experts are advising users to either use a Mozilla based browser or perhaps the Opera browser in place of Internet Explorer. The author of this post only uses Firefox and could not be bribed for any amount of cash to start using Internet Explorer again. If you are someone that simply “must” use IE, then consider turning the security settings all the way up in a fleeting hope that the virtual boogie man will decide to pass you by.

Microsoft Creates Anti-Virus Bounty To

Microsoft Creates Anti-Virus Bounty To
Help Track Down Virus Writers
11/05/2003 10:59 AM
What do you if you're in an unchartered area with no reasonable law enforcement, and criminals are running rampant? You convince everyone to become the "enforcement" arm and find someone rich enough to pay them to help fight crime. Microsoft can't be bothered to fix a few of the holes in their programs that make it incredibly easy to pass on viruses, so instead, they're setting aside $5 million for anti-virus bounty hunters who can track down anyone responsible for worms, trojan horses or viruses. The rewards will be given out in $250,000 wads of cash from Bill Gates wallet increments. So, now, who's going to round up an anti-virus posse?

Exhibit A: An unattributed article on Google Bombing posted last month on the Web site of Glenn Beck, a radio talk show guy. Exhibit B: An article on Google Bombing from 2001 on Uber.nu, attributed to Adam Mathes. Compare and contrast. It's possible Beck purchased the article for reprint, but the lack of attribution, either to Mathes or So New Media, suggests against it. Assuming plagiarism, two questions: 1. After a decade of the existence of the Web, how is it that people still don't get the concept that content plagiarized from the Web is easily discoverable, particularly when posted on the Web? 2. Honestly, now, is it really that hard to rewrite? Unrelated article on the Glenn Beck site: The Death of Shame. (via Oliver Willis)

On stealing authenticity...


On stealing authenticity... 10/29/2003 12:10 AM

So I'm sitting at my new Powerbook watching The Man of Law's Tale when Cameron Marlow IM's me to say that he's in this conference watching a paper called, Visual Factors In Constructing Authenticity In Weblogs and they've just started citing the design of my site. It would probably be disingenuous of me to say that I just ripped off kottke, although when I first showed it to him, he did think it was a joke. Sigh. Anyway, it looks like an interesting paper:

The emergence of weblogs as contributing to the public sphere has returned concerns about authenticity in renewed form: readers who encounter weblogs must construct some basis of trust in the content and the subjectivity represented there in textual form. Many sources of authenticity are largely verbal (mutual citations, ideological coherence, recognized links, ease of access, ranking on index sites). Beyond these, however, there are visual cues which tend to promote confidence: these visual cues are more easily overlooked but nonetheless important in establishing the writers’ credibility.
