Malware Authors Jumping on the Obama
No surprise here, the malware authors are leveraging on the social engineering aspect of the US presidential elections.
In less than half a day Google Adwords adverts and custom malware was popping up conning users into a sense of security by using Obama’s name.
Malware purveyors have wasted no time capitalizing on Barack Obama’s landslide victory in the US presidential race. Within 12 hours of his acceptance speech Tuesday night, net users were being treated to scams involving Google AdWords and prodigious volumes of spam.It seems to be a generic trojan/rootkit aiming for banking details, it’s just a new vector for installation.
The spam comes masked as dispatches from legitimate news sources, including the BBC and CNN, and invite readers to click a link to view a video of Obama accepting his country’s vote. Those who take the bait are sent to a spoof page of the news site that claims they need to update their Adobe Flash Player before viewing the speech.
I guess a lot of people will fall for it though with the election fever hitting all around the World, not just in USA. Everyone is going Obama crazy!
In fact, Adobe_flash9.exe installs the notorious Trojan-PSW:W32/Papras.CL, according to anti-virus provider F-Secure. Earlier Wednesday, just 14 of the 36 major anti-virus programs detected the trojan, according to this analysis from VirusTotal. Once installed, the malware, which cloaks itself in a rootkit, logs passwords for bank sites and other sensitive information and sends them to a server located in Ukraine.Anyway just let the non-tech savvy amongst the people you know that this is going on and that they are likely to get e-mails or messages about Obama pretending to be from legitimate sources.
The fraudulent news sites are being hosted on a fast-flux network of infected machines, according to this analysis by the CyberCrime & Doing Time blog. Cloudmark, a company that provides spam filtering service, has already seen more than 10 million of the spam messages, according to the Zero Day blog.
Under no circumstance should they follow the link and especially don’t install any flash or other software updates from such sites.
Orkut New feature -schedule events from your Orkut Profile
though I did not find this feature much useful, still I gave it a try. Immediately after hitting the ‘events’ button on the left sidebar of my homepage, I got a form to fill and I did so by entering one of my friend’s birth day and also invited some of my friends too, to attend the event. Guess all the invitees have got an invitation and have an option either to accept, reject or choose the option ‘may be attending’ for the invitation sent to them.
Well many things done and said, but it matter not how much features Orkut introduces, but what matters is how useful are those feature..? You too give it a try and let us know, personally how useful did you find this feature.
How To Turn Youtube Flv Videos Into mp3
This is simple and most of you might already know it..but i thought i'd post it anyway.
I tought of this my self while i was converting 3gp (mobile phone) videos into .avi
First what you have to do is download a youtube video using a grabber or a grabing site (like tubeg
(save it as .flv (you all know that:P ) )
Then you can convert it to .avi or mpg or w/e you want simply by using this site
(thedoors gave me this long time ago )
NOw when you browse and put the file it will give you a list of extention that you can cnvert it too..no mp3 is in there..unfotrunately you can only convert it to another video form....so you should voncert it to 3gp
Then you will browse the 3gp file again and you will see that there are 2 3gp types..one is for video and one is for music..choose the sound type (this way your file will be recongized are pure sound and no video in it) then you can choose convert to :mp3..and all done
that's it..pretty easy and pretty usefull since here are so many cool live conserts and music videos that i can't find on mp3
