  • [!] Worm steals credit card details - Windows users are being warned about a virus that is "aggressively stealing" credit card numbers and passwords.
    The Korgo virus debuted on 22 May and since then has been steadily racking up victims. Although the virus is not widespread, security firms are issuing warnings because it is proving so effective at stealing confidential data. Those infected by Korgo are being urged to change passwords and credit cards if they have been used online recently. Korgo exploits the same vulnerability that the Sasser web worm used so effectively when it struck early last month. The virus opens up a backdoor on PCs it infects which allows its creators to install a key logging program that activates when users fill in forms on websites. The key logger steals password and credit card information and sends it back to its creators, thought to be a virus writing group called the Hangup Team.
  • The rebirth of Mydoom - A new worm uses Mydoom code to create a blended threat - Kaspersky Labs has detected a potentially dangerous new Internet worm. Plexus.a spreads using three different methods: infected email attachments, file-sharing networks and via the LSASS and RPC DCOM vulnerabilities in MS Windows. A detailed analysis of the code confirms that the virus author used Mydoom source code as a foundation. The worm's payload includes attempts to prevent downloads of Kaspersky Anti-Virus database updates. Plexus.a uses a standard set of infection vectors. The worm masquerades as various distributives for popular applications and penetrates via LANs and file-sharing networks. A significant number of infections have occurred via well known MS Windows vulnerabilities: the LSASS breach used by Sasser and the RPC DCOM hole exploited by Lovesan. Lovesan struck in August 2003, but Plexus.a has detected and infected large numbers of machines where this vulnerability is still unpatched.
  • Opera Patches URL-Spoofing Flaw - Alternative Web browser firm Opera Software has rushed out a fix for a security vulnerability that could allow an attacker to fool the Opera browser into showing a fake address in its address bar. The flaw, which was discovered by Israel-based security consultants GreyMagic, could lead to "phishing" attacks where URLs are spoofed to trick Web surfers into giving up sensitive information like credit card numbers, bank account information, Social Security numbers and passwords.
  • Harry Potter virus targets children - Virus authors have tapped into excitement over the latest Harry Potter film to spread an old worm. Netsky.P was the second most common virus in May, according to figures from anti-virus companies. Now the worm seems to have found new life by enticing young computer users with promises of material relating to the Hogwarts hero. While there is nothing sophisiticated about the worm's technique, innocent youngsters have been opening the attached file and letting Netsky.P wriggle on to the family hard disk.
  • Security issue was not worth a bulletin? - A new security alert that could allow users to login with expired passwords was issued for all varieties of Windows 2000. If (and only if) the fully qualified domain name is exactly 8 characters, the operating system may allow a user to log on using an expired password. (thanks Bink.nu)
  • N. Korea bans mobile phones - The North Korean government has banned the use of mobile phones by local residents, just weeks after allowing foreign visitors to use their mobile handsets in the country. Mobile phones were only recently introduced in the country, with the first services going live in 2002. A report from Yonhap News, a South Korean news agency, said that an unnamed North Korean official confirmed the ban at an inter-Korean economic meeting in Pyongyang on Thursday. The restriction came into force on 25 May.
  • BBN Tech Unveils World's First Quantum Cryptography Network - BBN Technologies announced that it has built the world's first quantum cryptography network and is now operating it continuously beneath the streets of Cambridge, Massachusetts. Information traveling over open networks such as the Internet is often encrypted to prevent unauthorized eavesdropping. Currently, complex mathematical algorithms are the most common method used to scramble (encrypt) and de-scramble (decrypt) messages that require secure transmission. Although this method can provide high levels of security, it is not infallible. In contrast, the DARPA Quantum Network introduces extremely high levels of security for Internet-based communications systems by encrypting and decrypting messages with keys created by quantum cryptography.
  • Windows XP Bedevils Wi-Fi Users - Microsoft denies there's a problem, but Wi-Fi users report a maddening occurrence: the sudden, inexplicable loss of their wireless connections, even when XP says everything is hunky-dory.
  • When Two Clicks Equal One Patent - A patent recently obtained by Microsoft for its Palm-sized PC product line is raising concerns among intellectual property experts who say it could be used to demand licensing fees from other mobile-device makers. The patent, issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on April 27, covers what Microsoft calls a "time-based hardware button for application launch." Microsoft said the technology was developed for use in handheld computers, such as its Palm-size PC, which use buttons to open files and start programs.
  • Bye-Bye Batteries? - A notebook that can run for 10 hours--or longer--before it needs rejuicing? That's the promise of a new battery technology called direct methanol fuel cells. A potential successor to the rechargeable and disposable batteries that power many of today's mobile digital devices, DMFCs generate power by mixing methanol with air and water.

  • Samsung begins cutting NAND flash contract price by over 15%, say module makers - Starting from June 1, Samsung Electronics has begun cutting contract prices for 1Gbit NAND flash by over 15% to about US$15-16 per chip, according to sources from memory module makers.
  • New VIA Envy24MT Audio Controller for Notebooks - VIA Technologies today announced the VIA Vinyl Envy24MT Audio Controller for mobile and small form factor (SFF) PC devices that demand uncompromising audio quality. The VIA Vinyl Envy24MT Audio Controller is optimized for the notebook, with a low profile design and ultra-low power requirements. Featuring support for a number of PC interfaces, the VIA Envy24MT Audio Controller can be integrated onto PC motherboards, Mini-PCI cards, or even PCMCIA cards.
  • ATI's Optimized Texture Filtering Called Into Question - ATI is cheating on trilinear texture filtering with the new X800, according to posts in Internet forums. Others ardently defend ATI. But what is really going on here? Another related article can be found on GameSpot.
  • Pentium M 735 (Dothan at 1.7GHz) review - GamePC has published pretty interesting review of Intel's Pentium M 735 (Dothan at 1.7GHz) that pits the processor's performance against a Pentium 4 3.2GHz and an Athlon 64 at 1.8GHz.
  • MSI NX6800 Ultra Benchmarks - Wow, check it out! Heh, I don't think NVIDIA will send me a review sample ;)
  • AMD Athlon 64 3700+ review - In the end, while the 3700+ is certainly a robust CPU, we're reluctant to recommend it. If you really want to go for one of the AMD 2.4GHz CPUs, go with the 3800+. It's substantially cheaper than the FX-53, but only around $10 more than the 3700+. An even better option is too spend a little more and spring for the FX-53--you'll get a beefier cache and a 128-bit memory interface. In the end, the percentage difference in price is pretty small.
  • AMD Athlon 64 FX-53 and Model 3800+ socket-939 CPUs -  The bottom line is very simple. AMD's delivered performance in spades with its new socket-939 processors; performance that makes Intel's Pentium 4s look impotent in comparison.
  • Updated windows 2000 pre-SP5 155 hotfixes All-in-one pack - Dr.Conti has updated the pubforum.net website with new hotfixes and security pack aka the 155-in-one for Windows 2000 server SP4 English.
  • Burn4free v1.0.0.593 - Burn4free an easy to use free burning solution and DVD copy software, has been updated to version 1.0.0.593.
  • DVD Region-Free 3.68 - DVD (download) from any region on all DVD drives. It fully supports region-protected (RPC2) DVD drives, and does not require any firmware modifications.

  • 3D Traceroute v1.8.85:255 - Replace all your ugly ping plotters and traceroute programs (download) with a full blown three dimensional traceroute program.

  • PHP 4.3.7 final - PHP Development Team is proud to announce the release of PHP PHP 4.3.7. (download) This is a maintenance release that in addition to several non-critical bug fixes, addresses an input validation vulnerability in escapeshellcmd() and escapeshellarg() functions on the Windows platform. Users of PHP on Windows are encouraged to upgrade to this release as soon as possible. All in all this release fixes over 30 bugs that have been discovered and resolved since the 4.3.6 release.
  • VideoToolBox 0.9.3.43 - VideoToolBox is a Freeware which aim is to detect codec required by AVI, MKV, QT, etc etc files.
  • mIRC 6.15 - mIRC (download) is a friendly IRC client that is well equipped with options and tools. The new version fixes quite a few small bugs found in the previous versions.
  • nVHardPage NVIDIA Tweaker v2.0 - This program (download) serves on enabling/disabling hidden features in NVIDIA control panel and tweaking NVIDIA Direct3D & OpenGL settings
  • ATI Catalyst 4.6 Beta Drivers - Station-Drivers have posted a new set of ATI Catalyst Beta drivers v4.6 Beta (8.02-040505) for Windows 2k/XP

"Wi-Fi users report sudden, inexplicable loss of their wireless connections." Just letting wi-fi users know there is no problem. Thank you. ;-)

ATI IS A CHEATER! caught with pants down and we can see your small penis! ha

A Large Pirateposted - Jun, 04 2004 - 19:22
Yawn, the ATI story is so two weeks ago. Get with the times, yo. Neeext!

JKposted - Jun, 04 2004 - 20:04
Nvidia cheated as well and yes it was so two weeks ago, so it is pretty much boring now. I just use a card that works with my games, who cares if it is ATI or Nvidia.

small penis - how childish you are. I hope the moderators will delete some arrogant and stupid comments next to come from xxxx and fx5900 here, too :) Just 2 things to add: 1. nvidia never admitted the fact that they have continuously cheated while the whole world know it 2. it is impossible to see the difference between ati's trilinear and the real one, whereas nvidia's ..khm.. optimisations come with serious loss of IQ, not to mention a 30% jump in e.g the nature test :) I admit it was bad to mislead the community about ati's trilinear thing. At least they face the consequences not as a certain competitor..

Another day, another ten news stories about Windows viruses, Trojans, worms, failures, etc. If it weren't for games, I wouldn't run Windows at all.

Hx's fanboy posted - Jun, 05 2004 - 05:14
Hear hear Hjarry! Damn right. Without the games support it'd be as popular as Linux.... On the other hand, anything else WITH the kind of games support windows has would be just as much a target as it is. *shrug* Popularity = Targets

FX5900posted - Jun, 05 2004 - 05:38
It was you ATI fangirls that started the "small penis" thing. I can't believe someone would post using a username 'idiot' and expect other people to believe what he writes. Incredible. And again, my comments are not stupid or arrogant; i am merely bringing the pro-ati bull**** which the world seems to believe at the moment back into balance. nVidia is as good as ATI. I have no personal issue with ATI or ATI-fanboys; i just end up a target because of my username.

Don't flatter yourself. Also, regarding the "small penis" thing: Quote nvidiafanboy - nvidiafanboy: "ATI IS A CHEATER! caught with pants down and we can see your small penis! ha"
