Spam and phishing infestation is not restricted to home users’ poorly protected computers running Windows. Common wisdom says these are making a reap harvest for the malicious code writers. Yet a recent study published by The Register indicates that corporate America is another victim of this phenomenon. Zombie machines inside Oracle’s or HP’s networks were […]

It’s been such an old hat to blog again (and again) about the super dooper advantages of getting your software out of the box. Many IT advising bloggers waste efforts to convince business owners of the superiority of OSS (Open Source Software) compared to proprietary solutions. And most of times, business owners will look down […]

Faye is painting and moving the office to a new building. The old one nearby, serving CADTEk since 1992, is also getting a facelift (big time renovating, painting, redecorating, etc.) and will shortly open with a ’surprise’ shop, shhh…
All nice and happy, but what’s that having to do with spamming, phishing and net crimes? Not […]

Between Christmas and the New Year, hackers were getting -once again- more active. Or at least some of them hit two of the sites we built and managing. No big deal, just rewriting a forgotten chmod 666 file on a 4 years old (not upgraded) server, then half planet away, doing pretty much same thing […]

Just read this on Slashdot and couldn’t help myself (it works in every field where brains not mass are a factor):
Herding cats is hard because you are using the wrong management technique. You herd cattle (and sheep and goats and pigs etc.), you do *not* herd cats. Cats, you put them in the general area […]

When it comes to installing a local network serving a small office, then software-hardware compatibility is quite important. Shows up that protective corporate barriers result in questionable products, with a vast amount of nonsense embedded. These are not what you want for your small business office. Yes, ads are nice and sounds cool to be […]

As promised yesterday, here I come with an application that will do wonders for you at the office. Reasons why you should download and install DieHard Software:
1. gaining more stability, less crashes, less annoyance;
2. putting the parasites off your machine: even if you live with a false sense of security, I can tell that quite […]

Was about time I get to write a blog… All these months we had to build a ‘pyramid’ of coding, to mix the e-commerce engine camel with a one-of-a-kind auction engine ostrich, and so on and so forth…
But all that is water under the bridge, to cite Faye, and I’m happily back in the blogging […]

Spam comes to you through various channels:
-harvesters stealing email address books from your PC when you—or friends sharing mails with you—are visiting suspect websites;
-trojans and worms pestering your own PC, or other PCs where your email address is copied for legit reasons;
-various combinations of the above two basic methods.
The bottom line with junk mail is […]

Silent hacking sounds like a new concept, so new that seldom PDF users are aware of it. Would you think at security exploits while staring at a for-print document that a close friend, a business partner or a colleague was sending you? Actually I didn’t—in spite of my little security paranoia with Nigerian based phishers […]
