Have you received an email asking you to confirm that you wish to cancel your account? Be on your guard. Some people have been receiving emails - seemingly from Facebook. The link doesn't point to an official Facebook page, but a third-party application running on the Facebook platform. Of course, that means that the link *does* go to a facebook.com address - something might fool those who are not cautious. The first thing you're likely to encounter if you did click on the link is a message asking you if you want to allow an unknown Java applet to run on your computer. And it seems they're pretty insistent that you allow it.. If you hit the "No thanks" button they'll just carry on pestering you to allow the Java applet to run. The social engineering being used by the tricksters behind this malware attack is pretty cunning. They know that people value their Facebook accounts highly, and many would be upset to lose access to them and the digital connections they have built up with friends and family. The hope of the cybercriminals is that victims will blindly agree to whatever the computer tells them to do, in order to "fix" the account cancellation request. If you do allow the applet to run, you will see a message telling you that Adobe Flash must be updated. Of course, the code that is downloaded is not really Adobe Flash at all. Instead, the program drops additional files into your /WIN32 folder, which have the intention of allowing remote hackers to spy on your activities and take control of your computer.

I'm increasingly being asked by folks on Facebook if it's possible to tell who has been viewing their Facebook profile. A number have been attracted to webpages and Facebook applications that claim to be able to give you a secret insight into who is spying on your profile. Well, if you're one of those people who are curious about who might be watching you online, take care. Right now we're seeing a significant number of Facebook users posting messages such as: and However, like the "Justin Bieber cell phone number" scam and the "This mother went to jail for taking this pic of her son!" scam, the links pointed to in your friends' status updates are not to be trusted. If you make the mistake of clicking on the link to one of these pages offering to tell you who is viewing your Facebook profile, you will find that the people behind the "services" want you to do a few things first. For instance, they'll ask you to "Like" their pages (which means you are spreading the link to friends in your social network), and they will ask you to advertise their site by posting an "OMG" message (with a link) to at least five different places on Facebook. After all that hard work you would hope that they would give you access to the powerful Profile Spy app wouldn't you? But I'm afraid your luck is out. They'll next ask you to hand over your personal information by taking numerous surveys - before ultimately trying to trick you into handing over your cellphone number which they'll sign up to an expensive premium rate service. Remember, this scam doesn't work as the result of clickjacking, or a vulnerability on Facebook. The scammers are achieving their ends because of human gullibility - pure and simple. If people considered what they were doing and thought twice about the possible consequences then we would see nothing like as many of these attacks occurring, and our news feeds on Facebook would see less spam. Do your bit for the public good and share this page on Facebook to warn your online friends about scams like this. Press the button at the side to share this article if you're a Facebook user. Interestingly, the pages that this particular scam points you to aren't on Facebook, but still display a fake Facebook header at the top. You will notice if you visit them that although the top menu options are there, they cannot be clicked on - which clearly makes the pages look even more suspect. Source: Naked Security

A major security flaw in Apple software could allow hackers to gain remote control over iPads, iPhones and iPod Touch devices, online experts warned today. The bug in the iOS operating system was exposed last night when a hacking website released a 'jail break' code for Apple customers. Some Apple users choose to jail break their devices so they can download and run applications that are not approved by Apple, or use iPhones on networks of carriers that are similarly not approved. Security experts warned that criminal hackers could download the code issued by website JailBreakMe.com, reverse engineer it to identify a hole in iOS security and build a piece of malicious software within a few days. Patrick Runald, a senior researcher at online security firm Websense, said: 'If you are a malicious attacker, it is fairly doable.' Apple has yet to release an update to iOS that protects customers against malicious software that exploits the flaw. Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller said the company was aware of the problem. 'We are developing a fix that will be available to customers in an upcoming software update,' she said. Apple has long been vocal against jail breaking, which if done voids the warranty on its devices. Any security flaw in iOS software - which runs Apple's iPhone, iPad tablet and iPod Touch - has the potential to affect millions of devices that are at the core of Apple's business. Apple has sold 25million iPads since it launched last year. The company has also sold over 18million of its popular iPhones in just the first three months of the year. Hackers can exploit the iOS vulnerability by creating a malicious PDF document file. It would infect Apple devices when users attempt to open that document, according to Mr Runald. Once the device is infected, hackers can 'do anything they want', he said. That includes stealing passwords, documents and emails. Comex, a 19-year-old hacker from New York State who developed the jail-breaking tool, said that Apple might be able to patch the software before criminal hackers develop software that exploits the bug. Last time he put out a version of his jail-breaking software, Apple was able to issue a patch before anybody exploited the bug for malicious purposes. He said that Apple might not be able to move quickly enough this time. 'It's not that hard to reverse engineer,' he said. Source: Daily Mail

Technology news and reviews site Geek.com was recently hit by an attack that redirected visitors to malicious websites that attempted to install malware on their computers, researchers from zScaler said. Feature articles on the website, in addition to its home page and "about us" page, contained invisible iframes that downloaded heavily obfuscated JavaScript from sites infected with a DIY exploit kit, zScaler said on Sunday. The malicious code then attempted to exploit unpatched security vulnerabilities on the end user's machine. "Unfortunately, we see hundreds of attacks such as this each and every day," researcher Umesh Wanve wrote. "Many legitimate websites are being compromised by taking advantage of poor coding practices in web applications. Attackers are constantly on the lookout for popular websites or top news sites as targets for their attacks. Users need to be aware that no site is a safe site." At time of writing it was unclear if Geek.com had removed the infected pages. Source:

Damn those chinese hackers lol

post them lol

I aint heard anything

Most mobile Companies have agreed to it so it should really be worldwide

to log into a website first then read the text is not just a quick thing to do

i will see what i can add then the one i made before saved playlists etc well it saved one if i remember rightly its been so long since i even used the mp3 player lol

Years ago i mad ethis MP£ player http://www.tg007.net/dls/index.php?action=file&id=815 I am going to tonight attempt to make a new one or at least an updated one to that one bearing in mind i have not done any scripting in the last year or so i reckon itas a good way to get back into it so what i want is suggestions of what to add into it as i am not aware of all the new thing that have happened in the scripting world so lets have your ideas

I dont see why any one government should have that power

I am at work at the mo but iwill have a lookwhen i get home

yeah the screen would be coming out i went to start this last night and found that someone has dropped something on the laptop and the screen is wrecked so the project is a non starter unless i can get another screen or some other broken laptops that i can bodge tgether

Ok so i have an old laptop lyingabout that does not get used anymore So here is what i am aiming to so I love these digital photoframes so i am thinking one of these andmount the internal workings of the laptop on the back with the Screen in the middle of the picture frame and have a 15.6" digital pic frame

what u think

i am pretty sure i used this before it installs ubuntu and a wondow program if i recall correctly then you can use it at boot time and select to boot to ubuntu in all honesty i would just dual boot
