DoD offering admin privileges on .mil Web sites
Care to register a .mil Web site of your own for free? The DoD has gone out of its way to make it a snap. An unbelievably badly-protected admin interface welcomes you to register whatever domain you please (Rotten.mil anyone?), or edit anything they've already got.

Incredibly, default passwords are cheerfully provided on the page.

Wer nicht sofort bezahlt, dem werde die Website des Hotels gelöscht: Briefe mit solchen Forderungen verschickt eine dubiose Firma an Tourismus-Betriebe. Niemand solle solchen Schreiben auf den Leim gehen, warnt ein Salzburger Experte.
