I was a loyal ZoneAlarm firewall user for years. Despite its annoying prompts and resource-hogging, I stuck with it through multiple versions. Even after ZoneAlarm developer Check Point foolishly dropped the software’s cool red-and-yellow logo for the boring green-and-blue one, I still stuck with it.
Today, I uninstalled ZoneAlarm, and I am never installing it again. […]
The WordPress hidden text exploit I blogged earlier has exploded to epidemic proportions, hitting even big sites like ZDNet. The worst part: ZDNet wasn’t even running an old version of WordPress.
The attack is two-pronged: it creates spammy pages within blogs, and it creates hidden text links to those spammy pages on other blogs. A single […]
Ruth Kusterer reveals a new WordPress hack that lets spammers put hidden text on WordPress-powered sites. The worst part: the hack works on multiple versions.
Somebody managed to insert a div with spam text into a blog entry’s content (and in one case even into the description meta tag). As opposed to ‘normal’ comment spam (see […]
I’m not sure if you’ve heard the news or not about James Kim and his family that were stranded on a secluded road in the Pacific Northwest. James Kim was a senior editor for CNET and was on a vacation with his family over the Thanksgiving holidays.
It seems as if the family’s car had gotten […]
Why is it that AOL mail, or specifically my AIM mail account, continues to be a spam magnet? I don’t provide my e-mail address for this account to anyone, I never include it on web forms or on web pages. 3 of 5 messages from my account above are sent specifically to my AOL/AIM address, […]
You know it’s an emerging earth change when Boy Scouts can earn a merit badge for respecting copyright.
Humor aside, I’m glad someone is teaching kids about integrity and that taking stuff that’s not actually yours is still theft.
This undated handout photo provided by the Motion Picture Association of America shows the new merit piracy patch […]
This is very annoying to me. Why would Google offer the functionality of verifying a separate POP3 address for use and encourage you to use the Gmail interface, but make it plain to everyone you’re actually sending from another e-mail address and maybe a personal address you’d rather remain private from other eyes?
I remember this […]
Dell just announced their battery replacement program:
Dear Dell Customer,
Dell has identified a potential issue associated with certain batteries sold with Dell Latitude™, Inspiron™, XPS™ and Dell Precision Mobile Workstation™ notebook computers. In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and other regulatory agencies, Dell is voluntarily recalling certain Dell-branded batteries with cells manufactured by […]
Just noticed that Yahoo! updated the AntiSpy feature in their Internet Explorer toolbar. I’m not sure who ran the original one, but the new one is a co-branded Norton product. It seemed to work pretty well. It’s impressive how quickly the scan runs, but does it do a better job if it takes longer?

One of the items that’s definitely changed over the course of years on this earth is the concept of privacy. Used to be, the only way for personal news to spread about someone was if you shared a secret with someone that didn’t understand the concept of secrets.
Nowadays however it’s a whole different story isn’t […]
