Trojaner leitet Browser auf falsche Seiten
Seit dem gestrigen Mittwoch mehren sich Meldungen über Vorfälle, bei denen sich Anwender mit dem Trojaner QHosts-1 infiziert haben. QHosts-1 befällt Rechner über eine bisher nicht gepatchte Lücke im Internet Explorer 5, 5.5 und 6.0. Das Aufrufen einer HTML-Seite genügt bereits, um sich mit dem Trojaner zu infizieren

QHosts-1 aka The "r0x s0x"
69.57.146.14
The purpose of this trojan is to "hijack" browser use. When page requests are made, they are rerouted to specified Domain Name Servers. This allows a remote "administrator" to direct users to the pages of their choosing. For example, if an infected user attempted to navigate to www.google.com, they would be routed to a different site.
This trojan has been reclassified as
Low-Profiled due to media attention at

Lindows to Microsoft: Buzz Off
Lindows.com defiantly told Microsoft Tuesday it will not remove a website that offers to process claims for Californians entitled to proceeds from a $1.1 billion class-action settlement with the software giant.
San Diego-based Lindows, which sells a Linux-based operating system, said Microsoft sent it a letter Friday ordering it to take down the site, MSfreePC.com, claiming it is deceptive, mischaracterizes terms of the settlement and may cause consumers to have their legal claims rejected by a claims administrator.
¬> In connection with a legal settlement, you may be eligible for a FREE PC and allowed to purchase up to $100 worth of software paid for by Microsoft®!

Thank this guy for ‘control-alt-delete’
Every time a software program locks up and you want to start over, every time you need to change your password or log on or off your computer, you can thank David J. Bradley.
That's the same David Bradley who was the "answer" to Final Jeopardy on an episode of that show's special college edition last fall.
It's the same David Bradley who saved Bill Gates' derriere before the Windows operating system became the monster it is today.

Windows macht Stromkraftwerke anfällig
Seit den großen Stromausfällen in den USA sind kritische Stimmen zu hören, wonach die derzeit kursierenden Windows-Würmer Mitschuld an den Blackouts hätten. Überwachungscomputer setzten zunehmend auf das Microsoft-Betriebssystem und seien daher anfällig.

Internet via Bongo-Trommel
Internet-Kommunikation kann auf verschiedenen Wegen ablaufen, einen ungewöhnlichen zeigten jetzt Studenten der kanadischen Algoma Universität: Sie implementierten die unteren Schichten des OSI-Modells mit Hilfe von Bongo-Trommeln, worüber sich auch die Internet-Protokolle der höheren Schichten abwickeln lassen.
