Today it is the last day of the year 2008 and all those cybercriminals who have a "great heart" want to wish us happy Christmas and a happy new year.
So they are sending us a funny Christmas postcard in flash, which you can to enjoy across the following video (~20 Mb). The file name is MerryChristmas.exe and once you run it, you only see the video... but the cybercriminals are taking the chance to steal your confidential information.
In order to do it, when you execute the file MerryChristmas.exe it will install two pieces of malware: Trj/PasswordStealer.BJ and Rootkit/HidePort.TO. These two work as a team so the rootkit is hiding the Trojan while it gets all your confidential information.
Thanks to Ulises for the video.

Earlier this month, I got a request from a manager in town asking if I could randomly select 150 people from a membership list. No darts allowed. I think the purpose was to do a survey, but maybe it was to select contest winners. It turns out that Excel has a random number generator which was the key to my solution.

There are two new options in the Google image search content selection box: clip art, and line drawings. The former will show colorful drawings and the letter black-and-white style sketches. As usual you can combine these selections with the site: operator, so you could find say all (indexed) clip art on CNN. The other content options at the moment are any content, news content, and faces. [Via Bret -> Google blog.]

It is not that someone has hacked Sony CEO's house, we are talking about the Sony Playstation Home:
Home is a virtual world for PlayStation 3 users, where they can interact with other gamers, create their own avatars, etc.
We've seen it here and this opens a totally new world for cybercrooks, as it could lead to identity theft and malware spreading. A user could even upload, download or delete any file within the Home server (!)
