Introduction A few days ago I got hacked. I quickly ripped out a heap of dodgy files left by the hackers but for some days now, Firefox, my browser, while viewing pages on this website, has been saying that it’s “downloading data from tructuyenso.vn… “. .htaccess This, of course, was not actually happening, as I’ve put [...]

A Cracking Week Off? I had a week’s holiday of sorts last week. On returning I found that this website had been cracked. (I already had intimations that something was wrong because of site stat failures and an email from @Justin Asking, sometime commenter to this website and others). Anyway, so it was. Unfortunately, I [...]

I’ve Been Pinged from My Own Unknown Sub-Domains! One day I’ll figure how this http protocol and the rest work…. Last night I had some hits looking for a feed and the domain root from http://forum.strangelyperfect.tv/board/ Now this doesn’t exist! So I got pinged by myself from something that doesn’t exist! In fact I haven’t [...]

I got an unusual (for me) comment spam this morning at 01:58 from a Kuala Lumpur spammer. His modus operandi is to trawl WordPress blogs looking for the word “RapidShare” and then dump a deliberately malformed warez-type URL to a zip file promising unlimited super-fast Rapidshare accounts that have been compromised. I had such a [...]

Gary McKinnon, the UFO spotter cum computer hacker is still not tried for his ‘offence’. But the ice he’s treading is getting thinner and thinner. Recently our nice CPS deemed that there wasn’t enough UK evidence to try him – but that the USA had plenty so we’ll send him there! His charge, which I [...]

The news that not only have Facebook users suffered another viral surge (previous virus report on koobface here) but also, that their data might be used forever in howsoever the sweet faced bloke in the photie wants should scare them all a bit, I’d have thought. The fact that he’s said that the data is [...]

Despite the best made plans and intentions, no security system is perfect. A massive recent security lapse means that (again!), the government’s continuing plans to implement ID Cards should be seriously examined. Not only have their own credentials at data security been demonstrated by themselves to be wholly inadequate (I’m thinking of the DVLA, MOD, [...]

V2 Schneider – Bowie I don’t know why Bowie titled it so; maybe it’s a tribute to the Kraftwerk dude. Whatever, it’s one of my all-time favourite intros and even though it’s lost some power compared to the “modern” sounds available now, it’s still a cracker and it could easily be re-done.
