  • Multilingual worm spreads throughout Europe -  A new multilingual worm from Hungary hit networks over the weekend and is spreading steadily. Zafi.B, also known as Erkez.b or Hazafi, spreads via peer-to-peer software and as a 12,800 byte .pif attachment within emails. It has the potential to spread widely as it mails itself out in Hungarian, English, Italian, Spanish, Russian and Swedish.

Zone obtained a copy of a file ("SWMPplugin.exe") that is known as Backdoor.Prorat (Symantec). The trojan was circulated as a Messenger Plus!

  • Microsoft races to plug IE hole - The net security watchdog, the Computer Emergency Readiness Team (Cert) has issued a warning, saying there were signs it was being exploited. Problems arise when a user unknowingly clicks on a bogus web link, triggering a download of software. Malicious hackers could then have access to data and files on the PC. The company said it hoped to have the problem sorted before its monthly release of security updates.
  • Microsoft's SP1 for Server 2003 Packs a Security Punch - Microsoft is working on a set of security upgrades for Windows Server 2003 that executives said will deliver on the company's promise to make its products more secure by default and give enterprises more options for locking down servers. The security capabilities for the company's flagship server operating system are due to be included in Service Pack 1, which is scheduled for release late this year.
  • Viruses move to mobile phones - Kaspersky Labs has detected Cabir, the first network worm which propagates via mobile networks. It infects telephones running Symbian OS. So far, Cabir does not seem to have caused any security incidents. It seems that the worm was writtten by "Vallez". This pseudonym is used by 29a, an international group of virus writers. The group specialises in creating proof-of-concept viruses. Among the group's creations are Cap, the first macro virus to cause a global epidemic; Stream, the first virus for additional NTFS streams; Donut, the first virus for .NET and Rugrat, the first Win64 virus.
  • Off-topic: Phoebe Pictures Released - NASA has begun to release some pictures from Cassini's Phoebe flyby last Friday.
  • Off-topic: Memory fails you after severe stress - People are woefully bad at recalling details of their own traumatic experiences. When military personnel were subjected to threatening behaviour during mock interrogations, most failed to identify the questioner a day or so later, and many even got the gender wrong. The finding casts serious doubt on the reliability of victim testimonies in cases involving psychological trauma.
  • PS2 Sales Double After Price Drop - Sony announced today a more than twofold increase in sales since it reduced the price of the PS2, validating the company's strategy in the timing and approach to the price drop. The company announced the lower price point of $149 suggested retail price (SRP) for the standalone PS2 system or the PS2 Combo Pack, while supplies last, last month at the E3.
  • Nokia Cuts Target for New N-Gage Games - Nokia cut its target to launch up to100 new games for its N-Gage gaming phones to 40 by the end of the year, as the world's top mobile phone company struggles to make a name for itself in the booming games market. After a major launch of N-Gage last year, however, the Finnish company has admitted sales missed expectations due to the phone's small screen and an awkward way of changing games that requires the user to first remove the phone's batteries, among other things.
  • Nokia to launch its first megapixel handset 7610 in Taiwan - Nokia launched its first megapixel camera phone, the 7610, in Taiwan on June 11. The company, vying for a larger share of the Taiwan market, is expanding its offerings of new handset models.

  • AMD clarifies dual-core processor strategy -AMD shed a little more light on its previously disclosed plans for dual-core processors Monday, announcing that it has completed its design for dual-core server and desktop processors and will ship products in 2005. Both dual-core processors will be based on the company's AMD64 technology, said Fred Weber, vice president of engineering for AMD's Computation Products Group. That architecture includes 64-bit extensions to the 32-bit x86 instruction set as well as an integrated memory controller that helps AMD move to dual-core designs, he said.
  • AMD Unveils Cheaper Mirrorbit Memory- AMD' Spansion flash memory joint venture plans to announce the second-generation of its Mirrorbit flash memory designed specifically for cell phones and other wireless devices, the company says.

  • 16X DVD Burner Spec Sent To Manufacturers - The 16X DVD+R specification was sent to manufacturers at the beginning of June, paving the way for 16X native DVD burners to start appearing in a few months. The additional speed will mean that consumers will be able to burn a entire DVD+R 16X disc in less than six minutes, a representative for the DVD+RW Alliance said Monday. The improvement is an abstract one, however, because 12X-capable media have not been released.

  • DVD Forum backs CD/DVD hybrid - The DVD Forum has given is official thumbs-up to DualDisc, a DVD/CD hybrid format. The approval paves the way for a more rapid adoption of the DVD Audio format. DualDisc essentially sticks a CD onto the back of a DVD or DVD Audio disc. The idea is that punters will be able to, say, play higher quality DVD Audio content at home and use the same disc to play the same music in their car's CD player. The DVD specification limits disc thickness to 1.5mm, which is possible to meet using a slightly thinner CD layer than is found on regular CDs and a single-layer DVD.

  • Corsair TwinX1024-3200XL Pro Memory review  - The new TwinX1024-3200XL Pro is some of the fastest memory available with default speeds of DDR 400MHz at 2-2-2-5 timings. What's more is that this memory is said to perform at DDR 500MHz speeds using relaxed timings! While you may now wish to over clock your HTPC due to heat concerns the faster timings will surely help especially if you plan on gaming on your HTPC. This memory also features "Plug n' Frag" auto configuration that automatically boots your machine using the 2-2-2-5 timings.
  • VIA EPIA MII 10000 Motherboard review - Essentially it is the same as the EPIA M10000 and CL motherboards, but the MII is aimed at the home user who would like the facility to add a wireless adaptor without having to use the single PCI slot. Performance and specification are almost identical to the EPIA CL we reviewed recently, but the MII has a removable module containing the Cardbus and compactflash bays controlled by Ricoh's R5C476 II and R5C485 chips.

  • Sony DRU-700A review - Sony's DRU-700A is a superb first generation dual layer DVD ReWritable drive.

DVD Forum backs CD/DVD hybrid - sounds like a cool development, so that they could provide the soundtrack with the orignal DVD, and play it in your car!

El_Coyote(02:03 PM CEST - Jun,15 2004 )
what? and lose out on any $ a seperate soundtrack would have made? i dont see it happen.

madda(02:16 PM CEST - Jun,15 2004 )
true, but they could be doing a dyson and doing something different that doesnt make immediate money, but may, in the long run, make more, because everyone changes to that brand!
