500 Comment Spams

500 Comment Spams 03/14/2005 05:09 PM

Due to waking up to 500 comment spams, comments are for registered users only. If you've ever registered at a Drupal site before, use the format "user@www.thatserver.com" and it will use your account from there. If not, all you need are a pair of eyes and a valid email address and you're in. No big form of information.

Sorry, but deleting that many comments sucks in any CMS.

Spams, Phishing, and Trojans

Spams, Phishing, and Trojans 05/05/2004 02:36 AM

This Netcraft article titled Phisher Kings compares growth of phishing with that of spamming (via Paymen ts News).  It's not surprising to me since I think phishers who rely mostly on social engineering used to be spammers.  However, phishers using trojans, like the one described in this Code Fish Spam Watch article, are not.  They are hackers using e-mail to find their victims.

Using trojans to harvest passwords and credit card numbers is, fortunately, not as deadly as it might seem at first glance.  Why?  Because trojans require more technical knowledge, higher cost of maintenance, and higher cost of labor necessary to mine the returned data.  It's all glory and little in return.

In comparison, phishers with spamming background tend to focus on what really matters, the ROI numbers.  Instead of wasting days and weeks to write and finetune trojans, they use a web page editor to create their lures and receive their loots in ready to use form.

There is a more dangerous group of potential phishers we need to keep an eye out for: telemarketers.  While most spammers operate blindly, telemarketers leverage information to choose and attack their victims more intelligently.  Phishers with telemarketing background are more likely to be spear-phishers, phishers who target rich victims with tailored attacks.

When they come for you, they will know your name, where you live, what finanicial services you are using, and more.

New Adware Spams Instant Messenger
Buddies 02/11/2004 05:44 PM
The ongoing saga of adware companies sneaking in annoying terms of service clauses where you (because you, like everyone else, didn't read the terms of service) agree to let them spam everyone you know, has now expanded to instant messaging technologies. Last night, I received an IM from an acquaintance who is on my AIM buddy list, apologizing if I had received an IM from him with a link to some game (I hadn't). I didn't think much of it, but today reports are appearing that it's the latest adware trick. Some company is offering a silly downloadable game, but hidden in the terms of service is the fact that they're going to IM everyone in your buddy list with a link to the game as well, and continue on the annoying process. AOL is apparently unhappy that someone other than themselves is using AIM for annoying advertisements, and are saying they may take legal action against the company.

Italy's premier Berlusconi SMS-spams

Italy's premier Berlusconi SMS-spams
voters' mobile phones 06/12/2004 01:45 AM
Italy's Berlusconi government spammed the cellphones of millions of citizens with text-messages about voting procedures for tomorrow's EU and local elections. Some call it an unprecedented invasion of mobile privacy for political control. Others argue it's a smart way for the administration to ensure Italy's voting public gets out the vote. Either way, unsolicited text messages don't grow on trees -- the stunt cost around $7M US, and critics want to know who paid for it.

The message, received on cell phones on Thursday and Friday, carried the sender line of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, Premier Silvio Berlusconi's office. The message detailed when the polls will be open and what documents citizens need to vote.

"Finally we have recourse to a tool like the text message that is now in everyday use to bring the state closer still to its citizens," said Technology Minister Lucio Stanca. But the political opposition branded the strategy as a political tactic. The government "is trying every subterfuge to recover votes. It's alarming that privacy is violated in such a sensational way," said opposition lawmaker Francesco Martone.

Blogs, bosses and bucks

Blogs, bosses and bucks 06/25/2004 08:31 PM
I had a good time yesterday at Supernova, but it seemed that one of the points I made on our panel caused some consternation among some listeners, so let's look at it.

I had heard a certain amount of what I thought was wildly overoptimistic forecasting of the widespread adoption of blogging as a tool in corporate America. For instance, Tim Bray said: "Any corporation that doesn't do this in the future is going to be playing catch-up. They can use the technology to make the enterprise provide a more human face to world." (I copied this quote from a trade journal article on the conference and promptly lost the URL. Sorry. I wasn't taking notes myself so if it's wrong, apologies in advance.)

I agree with Tim and the other optimists that blogging can give enterprises a more human face. But will they let it? What I said yesterday is that I thought the successes to date in public blogging by software developers at places like Microsoft and Sun weren't likely to be duplicated in other, more traditional corporations any time soon. Software professionals are relatively unique in feeling that (a) their talents are in demand and (b) if they get fired from one job they can probably (except maybe at the very bottom of an economic cycle) get another one pretty easily. In other words, they feel more empowered to spout off on their blogs without fearing for their livelihood than the typical American worker does.

I'm not sure why, but Tim seemed to take this comment to mean that I thought that people in other fields -- I think he mentioned construction, it's hard to remember -- wouldn't succeed as bloggers because they're "not as interesting." Of course, that's not what I said, and it's precisely the opposite of what I think. Everyone has stories to tell, and everyone's stories are worth telling: that's a credo of the digital storytelling movement that I've been involved with for a decade now.

The stories that programmers are telling in the current explosion of blogs have given their work a vital new visibility; as developers tell their stories to each other, creating a pool of technical, practical and philosophical knowledge, they are also giving the public a new and fascinating window onto their discipline. (I'm as aware of this as anyone -- my work on my book is infinitely easier thanks to the profusion of programming blogs.)

Do I think it would be a Good Thing for this pattern to be duplicated in other fields? Of course -- and it's happening in some, predictably in those areas where individual professionals have a tradition of independence (the legal world, academia).

But the utopian vision of blogging somehow flattening corporate hierarchies and allowing Cluetrain-like voices of authenticity to trumpet forth from every Fortune 500 headquarters? Maybe it's possible on the sort of time scale that Supernova keynoter Tom Malone talked about -- from hunter-gatherers to agriculture, that sort of thing. But I don't think it's going to happen in our lifetimes.

I'm sorry to be the pessimist at the party. But for large numbers of workers in America, particularly those at big companies, the dominant fact of life remains don't piss off your boss. And, in an era of health-insurance lock-in and easy outsourcing and offshoring, many U.S. workers remain doubtful that they can simply waltz into a new job should their activities displease the current hierarchy to which they report. So the odds of them feeling at ease publishing honest Web sites about their work lives are extremely poor. The blogs you're going to see from within most traditional companies will be either uninformative snoozes or desperate attempts at butt-covering and -kissing. Not because people don't have great stories to tell -- but because telling the truth has too high a cost.

Someone at Supernova got up and said that he worked in investment banking and thought it was a field that was ripe for blogging. No doubt! I'm assuming that your typical investment banker has managed to sock away some private unemployment insurance cash (also known in some industries as "fuck you" money, something Dick Cheney apparently has in abundance).

For those with such resources, blog on! For those lucky enough to work for a company that says "blog on" and means it, cherish your luck. But for most of the rest of the working population, the blogging revolution will be happening in some other office.

Brainstorming how you can sell NetWare
6.5 to your bosses 05/27/2004 04:48 AM
One of the new features of NetWare 6.5, and which is also part of Nterprise Linux Services and slated to be in Open Enterprise Server, is Virtual Office. Many of the elements of Virtual Office, such as iFolder, iPrint, eGuide and more, aren't new in themselves but the "office" metaphor as well as the user interface is new. All that makes working with these interesting and useful technologies easier for your non-techie users (and isn't that most of them?).
