  • Pirates face the music - and it might be jail - Yesterday at Downing Centre Local Court, the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions asked that University of NSW science student Charles Ng, 20, be jailed for his creation and operation of a website, MP3WMAland.

  • Eudora users warned over "reply to all" trick - A buffer overflow vulnerability in Eudora, the popular email client, creates a mechanism for crackers to compromise targeted PCs. The problem stems from a failure to properly verify the "From:" and "Reply-To:" when users of vulnerable versions of Eudora select "Reply-To-All". This shortcoming creates a means for hackers to spam users with a maliciously constructed email designed to trigger this buffer overflow condition.  In practice it might be hard to trick users into selecting "Reply-To-All" in response to suspicious emails. But if they do then crackers would be able to run arbitrary code on vulnerable systems, so the problem is not to be sniffed at.

$500 for a video card that's going to be obsolete in 1 or 2 years. That's insane.
