| | During researches of a preety widespread and dangerous browser hijack, named CoolWebSearch, investigators discovered a big identity theft in which mean people used this tool.
This version of program turns the computer into a spammer tool and what is even worse, it sends a bunch of personal data and files (E-Bay, holiday plans, passwords, usernames, telephone numbers,...) on a server that is located in the USA.

I've heard of CoolWebSearch....I didn't know it could do all of that, though. Also, it installs on its own, so you don't even know you have it (unless you do a spyware scan). A while back, I'd do a scan, and it would almost always be detected.

If you know the rules of hacking like, When you get in you must get out. Don't destroy any files or data when you hack or else you will be track down. Don't hack goverment agencies or any computers belong to the goverment they have all the time to track you down. Don't leave any mark when you hack. Don't stay too long inside the computer you hack in. See, with these rules tell me how you can find the hackers??? There are agencies hired hackers for a purpose, infact, there are agencies also that the job is to hack, hack and hack.... they are intellegent person and a very potential users of computer.... They will be hard to find who but there here always online...

Heh, that CoolWebSearch annoys me. My dad is careless about the sites he goes to, *cough* so he often picks it up. When I notice something's wrong I scan for adware and see the CoolWebSearch thing. Then, I proceed to eliminate it. I didn't know it was meant for that purpose. I hate webtoolbars anyway. I like it clean and simple, that's why I like Firefox, the addons aren't bad at all.

Hackers Focus Efforts On Firefox, Safari, And Office
(1) QUOTE Many people are switching from Internet Explorer to alternative browsers such as Firefox

bad guys. Case in point: We have no IE bugs to report this month, but both Firefox and Safari have
been hit hard. So forget the idea that just because you've switched to a new browser,
you're magically safer. You may be for a time, but to stay safe with any software, you need to
keep current with fixes. Firefox Holes In a somewhat dubious recognition of Firefox's....
New Security Hole Discovered In Excel

from Excel 2000 to Excel 2003 SP2, and it also includes the Mac Version of Excel 2004 as well. OF

Something I Discovered With Sessions [php]
(4) Hello All, I've been doing a lot of PHP programming since I last posted here. I've run
across two security related things with sessions that you may or may not know about. The first one
pertains to the session id, or the id that PHP assigns each computer when a session is created.
This id is either stored in a cookie (search for PHPSESSID) or through the URL as GET data.
Remember that all session data is stored server side; this ID is the only thing that PHP will use to
differentiate your computer from someone else's. While I was programming for Plug ....

New Definition Of Planet Will Enlarge Our Solar System

from 9 planets to 12 planets. The current list plus proposed new planets in bold: Mercury Venus
Earth Mars Ceres Juipiter Saturn Uranus Neptuen Charon Pluto Xena This new list of planets is
due to redefining what "planet" is... the shape, size, material and orbit etc. It's not that new
planets were discovered, just the definition has new meanings. The universe perhaps just got larger.
