Business and Backing
IE ate my post. >:(
What a blah Friday.
Don't take that weekend in Paris, rioters are still setting fire to cars and such despite the curfew laws. Chirac won't discuss measures until the riots cease.

No joke, an 18 year old High School Student is currently on the winning side of a mayoral ballot in Michigan. The incumbent mayor, 51 is currently demanding a recount.
Mitsubishi isn't as solid as their publicity paints them to be, Daimler Chrusler has sold their 12% majoirty shares in the company to stabilize their bottom line. Part of the problem with Mistubishi sales redlining is their image of warranty and safety. Japan Mitsubishi admitted in 2000 to hiding car defects since 1980 that would have resulted in total product recalls.
Earlier in the week I highlighted the Sony 'solution to music piracy'. It didn't take long for people to take advantage of the rootkit system blindspot. Spam e-mail masquerading as a business claiming the recipent is going to have a photo published in an article. The clicked link takes the user to an IRC channel that starts remote use and downloading to the user PC. Update the anti-virus kiddies. Luckily, you're not at high risk if you don't have the First 4 DRM programs installed from trying to listen to "My Morning Jacket" or "Van Zant" on your computer.
Current Trojan list:
Backdoor.Ryknos
Backdoor.Ryknos.B
On a seperate front, Symantec even has the password logger trojan PWSteal.Wowcraft.B
Symantic is like a dirty little column to read sometimes... its facinating even though I'm not a system admin or anything. It lists all the horrible things that can happen to people's computers. Almost morbid like how people will read obituaries or the 911 call-in list in the morning newspaper. I wonder if hackers sometimes are like serial killers, collect printouts of the articles published about their code and talk with other hackers, "Hey, did you see my worm on Symantec?"
