The company said that there is a new worm, being called Win32/Conficker.A , which is exploiting the RPC flaw and spreading in both enterprises and in home user environments. Conficker opens a random TCP port between 1024 and 10000 and then starts exploiting the MS08-067 vulnerability on other PCs on the network.

On Election Day, not only will every media outlet be covering the vote, but so will voters themselves who will have ample opportunity to Tweet, Digg, video, and IM the vote. Most of these “reports” will probably consist of people telling the world that “I’m voting!” or who they just cast their vote for. Who you vote for used to be a private affair, but no more. It is almost as if your vote does not count, unless you IM or Tweet it.

Read the article below for help.

Surely you’ve encountered the “Dear Valued Customer”, “Verify Your Account” or “If you don’t respond within 48 hours, your account will be closed” emails flying across the screen, threatening corrective action unless you take the time to respond. Worse yet, what about those pesky pop-up windows that sporadically appear when you visit your bank’s website, urging you to verify account details.

Well, it has been quite a while since our last blogs! This is due to a couple of less than suitable web hosts, as well as, a REAL crappy interface at the last “Web Host 4 Life” (more to come in this subject…

After a few weeks of recreating out blogs (we went from Blogger to WordPress),  I expect thing to pick up a bit. After all, I love to talk about the experiences we have had in the IT industry as well ad the horde of absolutely horrible companies that are actually getting paid to write shi&#y software (I am sure some of you have used many of the products!).

Be on the lookout for more to come…
