Troll of the year nomination
No, it has nothing to do with RSA, but it a doozy.
The story: http://www.networkworld.com/community/?q=node/9999 The communications director for Montana's lone congressman solicited the services of two men he falsely believed to be criminally minded hackers-for-hire -- with the expressed goal of jacking up his college GPA -- during an exchange that spanned 22 e-mails over two weeks this past summer. Two members of attrition.org corresponded with Shriber and fooled him into believing that they would carry out his wishes, warning him at one point: "You are soliciting me to break the law and hack into a computer across state lines. That is a federal offense and multiple felonies." The full email trail: http://www.attrition.org/postal/z/033/0871.html //Walt |

Here are some mirrors: http://suso.suso.org/attrition1.html [suso.org] http://suso.suso.org/attrition2.html [suso.org] (page 2) BTW, nobody on Slashdot is mentioning anything about malicious sites, so I have no idea what you're talking about re the attempted registry changes. //Walt |

Its probably something pretty benign, reading the fine print in the warning log it refers to window placement. It may be just trying to make up its own mind whether to open full screen or partial, who knows, but I hadn't seen it before and messing with the registry just seemed the sort of thing people should know about. Sorry if I jumped the gun. |
