ID Theft Up in 2008

That headline shouldn't be much of a shocker. The FTC has gathered statistical information on complaints received. Click here for the link to the original story from CNET. You can see each year it increases.

With data breaches like Heartland Payment Systems will add to those numbers in 2009 so protect yourself as much as you possibly can.

Kansas University Jayhawks put it the big hurt on the Missouri Tigers today. ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!!!

Stay safe and have a great week this week!

More Scareware, Rogue Security Software

The folks over at Silent Noise indicated there is yet another version of the fake anti-virus that has been plaguing folks for many months now. This version isn't being recognized by anti-virus very well at all at this point. It is called AntispyKnight. Click here to read about Silent Noise's write-up on this new.

Great game today by the Kansas University Jayhawks. They beat those nasty KSU Wildcats. Stay safe and have a fabulous rest of the weekend.

Injection Attacks Continue

In my line of work I come across websites that have been hacked and code is injected leading to a website loaded with malware ready to take advantage of people who don't patch their PC's. Today was the website executivehomemaker.com. Hidden inside this legitimate site is a redirect to hxxp://iwdown.com/inc/e.js. A site hosted in China.

This is just another in a long line of sites with vulnerabilities that allow the bad guys to take advantage of the casual surfers. They don't patch, they probably click on links in spam e-mails and on and on. My last search on the iwdown site shows 135,000 sites with these injections. Click here an see the search results.

Stay safe and have a fabulous weekend and ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!
