Phishing As A Service, Part II
Now you no longer need an in with the international Storm syndicate to outsource your phishing attacks. On InformationWeek, George Hulme reports on a DIY phishing service: "The service automatically generates text for the phishing emails that target various Web mail and social networks, including Facebook, Hi5, Orkut, and others... While this is more of a novelty, and reminiscent of the old-time virus construction kits from the early 1990s, it reveals how heavily social networks will be targeted going forward." Hulme predicts a significant attack through the social networks. I still think it's coming from instant messaging. Posted by Joe Caponi at 12:15 PM, January 29, 2008 Return To Hot Topics .

Economic shockwave hits China
THE rampant Chinese economy that Kevin Rudd and Wayne Swan are confident will help insulate Australia from the worst of the global financial meltdown is starting to falter, with Chinese leaders warning of a "most difficult" year ahead. As US President George W. Bush used his last State of the Union address to urge bipartisan support for measures to stop the world's biggest economy slipping into recession, China blamed an uncertain outlook on the financial turmoil emanating from the stressed US housing market. Premier Wen Jiabao warned that 2008 would be "a most difficult year". "There are uncertainties in international circumstances and the economic environment, and there are new difficulties and contradictions in the domestic economy," he said in remarks released from last week's State Council meeting preparing for the nation's annual parliamentary session in March.
Eddie Bauer closing mall store
Thirteen years after it opened, the Eddie Bauer store at Tippecanoe Mall in Lafayette will soon be closing its doors. The Bellevue, Wash.-based company has decided not to renew the lease on its 5,500-square-foot space in the Lafayette mall and will close the store on Jan. 25. "As part of Eddie Bauer's annual review of real estate lease holdings, we look at each of our stores in the U.S. and Canada to determine whether we should review existing leases. We have decided not to renew the existing lease at Tippecanoe Mall," the company said in a statement. "Leases are evaluated on several different levels including, but not limited to, the placement of new stores, current store sales and square foot performance, the competitive makeup of the retail environment, market trends and overall economics." Established in 1920, Eddie Bauer is a specialty retailer that sells casual sportswear and accessories that relate to an outdoor lifestyle.
Unique Connecticut town divided between Patriots, Giants
WATERBURY, Conn. - High above this southern Connecticut city sits a tended but rarely visited landmark.
A giant cross is visible for miles, given good weather, and longtime Waterbury residents instantly recognize it as part of a larger landscape. It is the simplest marker of Holy Land USA, a stunning stone replica of Jerusalem constructed in the 1950s.
The once-popular tourist attraction has been closed since 1984, but the desolate ice-and-snow covered attraction, with its Hollywood-like sign and cross, is an unintentional but apt metaphor for this blue-collar northeastern city for one more week.

Poland, August 1980: The proletariat rediscovers the weapon of the ...
Even if there were no direct strikes as a reaction to the Polish workers' struggles, the workers in many countries in the west took up the slogans of their class be slogans of their class brothers and sisters in Poland. In Turin in September 1980 the workers shouted: "Let's struggle as the Polish workers did". Because of its scope and its methods the mass strikes in Poland had a massive impact on workers in other countries. Through their mass strikes the workers showed – as they had already done in 1953 in East Germany, in 1956 in Poland and Hungary, 1970 and 1976 in Poland again – that the so-called ‘socialist' countries were in reality state capitalist governments, enemies of the working class. Despite the isolation imposed around the Polish borders, despite the Iron Curtain, the Polish working class, as soon as it took action, functioned as a massive pole of reference with a world wide impact.
PTL Beauty Editor Lori Geiger
The beginning of the year is a great time to take out the old and bring in the new beauty items you carry with you everyday. Cleaning out your make-up bag is the perfect time to update your make-up and keep germs away. The most used product in your bag is most likely a pressed powder compact. If a crust has developed on top it is oil from your face that has been transfered to the powder when not in use. You can scrape it off with an old tooth brush and replace the puff. To prevent this in the future, keep the cellophane circle the compact comes with as long as you can to separate the puff from the powder. If you buy a new compact, get one that has a separate compartment for the puff, such as L'Oreal true match compact. To help keep make-up fresh and germs at bay keep this in mind:Powdered products, such as powder, eye shadows and blush have a life of about 3 years.Liquids and concealer around 2 years.Eye pencils 6 months.Mascara 3 months. If your lip stick or gloss smells like an old crayon, throw it away.
