Re: [funsec] bitching- java updates and ask toobar
OMFG don't get me started I don't want the flippin ASK toolbar, and NO I don't want that friggin, flippin, piece of crap Mcafee retail thing either! You know how many people installed that crap by accident that has called me because something else isn't working now and they're blaming a security product that corporate security installed on their machine? When did updates become a means to force all kinds of crap over to people? I don't' care if Java sold that spot in their installer for 80 trazillion dollars either, IT DOESN'T BELONG IN THERE TO BEGIN WITH breathing heavy from screaming Mike B Michael P.

[funsec] All that, and it was just pharma spam?
Got a message yesterday. It was immediately suspect, since it purportedly came from YouTube, and was threatening that I had sent the maximum number of messages per day. It was also sent to the -owner of a mailing list I run on Yahoo. Of course, I don't send email through YouTube. However, since I do have a YouTube account, and just in case there was a mail capability I didn't know about, I figured I'd better check it out. Sending through Yahoo is a good form of obfuscation. I did, eventually, figure out that it came via ThePlanet in Houston (probably a bot infected machine). I then suspected that it might be some kind of account phishing. However, when I actually looked at the URL, and checked it out, it seems to have been a simple pharma spam (bounced from a site in France to one in Russia). All that trouble and obfuscation, just to post pharma spam? Sophisticated misdirection kits are obviously getting cheaper and easier for the script kiddie level spammers to buy. == (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rsl...@vcn.bc.ca sl...@victoria.tc.ca rsl...@computercrime.org Subject to http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/1468 victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm http://www.infosecbc.org/links http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/author/p1/ http://twitter.com/rslade ___ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.

I usually joke that I disagree with every word this man has said, but I will defend, TO THE DEATH, if necessary, his right to say it. In this instance, I agree with every word both of you (so far) have said. I am sick and tired of every single update package; Java, Apple, FireFox, Adobe, you name it; having some adverware inclusion. (And that includes Microsoft: I never wanted Silverlight, and I definitely do not want that weird new search non-function that I have to keep clicking off on every update.) (And don't get me started on the time Adobe managed to slip a photo manager past me, and, even after I uninstalled it, I couldn't access my camera anymore.) == (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rsl...@vcn.bc.ca sl...@victoria.tc.ca rsl...@computercrime.org Do not fold, spindle or mutilate - originated by Charles A.
