Your Ex-Carrier Can Stalk You

Your Ex-Carrier Can Stalk You 07/26/2004 06:02 PM
Database company Accudata has a new offering likely to annoy the hell out of many people. They're offering a service to carriers to help them track down and annoy anyone who has ditched them for a better provider. So, if you thought you had finally gotten rid of those awful "we want you back" letters by changing your phone number, your address, and possibly your name -- too bad. Accudata is on the case and going to make sure that the rest of your life (starting 24 hours from when the carrier gives them your name) you will be hounded by requests to come back to the carrier who wouldn't seem to lift a finger to help you when you actually were a customer, but preferred to charge you extra fees for just about everything. If an ex-significant other did something like this, it would be called stalking. However, apparently, in the business world, it's called "marketing." Next thing you know, your carrier will start making drunk phone calls to you at 2am wishing they had you back as a customer...

Help: security flaw hits mainstream 05/19/2004 06:02 PM
If you browse the internet (since you read this, that means you), watch out for the latest OS X exploit. It seems to only be a problem in Panther. The help: protocol can be abused to launch AppleScripts. Why is this bad? Terminal commands can be called from AppleScript. In other words, simply visiting a web page can do serious damage. A proof of concept (harmless, but scary) is located here. What can you do? Download an application like More Internet or GURLfriend and remap the help protocol. If you have any tips, please leave a comment.

Update: NetNewsWire might also be affected, though it is rare you would subscribe to a feed that wants to erase your hard drive.

MacCentral: Mac users still not safe from vulnerability. "What is really critical is the fact that Apple did not address the "disk" URI vulnerability, which allows malicious websites to silently place code on a user's system," said Rasmussen. "Everything should be OK, after the "help" vulnerability has been fixed, but another very unfortunate feature has been revealed in Mac OS X disk image and volume handling, allowing a disk image to register a new URI handler and associate an application with this - obviously this application can be located on the disk image or volume."
