YouTube Hacked July 2010

July 4 2010, YouTube was hacked by members of internet groups 4chan and other computer whizzes. Justin Bieber, one of the biggest pop sensations at the present time, was unfortunately on the receiving end of this. Using a variety of videos the hacking was able to take place.
According to Samuel Axon at Mashable, several complaints have been made on social networking site Twitter, and concerned users posted comments on Google’s forum. The internet group 4chan have had what seems to be disagreements with Justin Bieber, and only last week, were conspiring to try and send Bieber to North Korea. Using a bug that can allow users to inject HTML (this is a code that websites are built with), 4chan were able to implement messages on the site stating that it had been hacked, and instead of fans being able to look at Bieber video pages, they were diverted to sites of pornography and malware

Sex.com is considerd as the most valuble domain name in the world.
The move is being taken on the back of an agreement between domain broker, Sedo, and Escom, LLC. The deal also includes two related trademark registrations with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Descriptive domains that define a category historically have been the most valuable properties on the Web.

‘Sex’ continues to be one of the most searched for terms on the Web and its mainstream appeal has grown exponentially over the past few years.

The new owner of this domain could enjoy a clear competitive advantage as a market leader, dramatically enhanced organic search rankings, tremendous traffic generated from direct navigation and an unsurpassed ability to drive online marketing and branding initiatives.

Finland makes broadband Internet access a legal right

Access to the Internet is became one of the legal right in Finland.
"Finland has worked hard to develop an information society and a couple of years ago we realised not everyone had access," Finland's communication minister Suvi said. As much as 96% of the country's 5.2 million people are already online, leaving only about 4,000 homes that need to be connected in accordance with the new law. By comparison, the UK government aims to provide 99% of its population with 2Mb/s speeds by 2012 (up from 73%) – although there's no law.
In the US,the Givernment try to achive to this level of standard like Finland.They hope till the next decate 90% of population will be provided by broadband Internet compared to the 65% currently.

Cyber crime is so profitable

Cybercrime is very profitable business in the last decade if we look at it as a business and don` consider its illegal effects.Large sums have been stolen successfully in one-shot deals, as well as by acquiring small sums in large quantities. I can find some of the most important cybercrime which occurred in 2007.they are include:
January 2007 – Russian hackers, with the aid of Swedish middle-men, steal 800,000 euros from Swedish bank Nordea.
February 2007 – Brazilian police arrest 41 hackers for using a Trojan to steal bank account details used to make 4.74 million dollars.
February 2007 – Seventeen members of Internet fraud gang arrested in Turkey for stealing up to 500,000 dollars.
February 2007 – Li Jun arrested for the “Panda burning Incense” virus used to steal gaming and instant messaging (IM) account names; believed to have made around 13,000 dollars by selling the malware.
March 2007 – Five eastern Europeans imprisoned in the UK for credit card fraud; they stole an estimated 1.7 million pounds.
June 2007 – 150 cybercriminals arrested in Italy; alleged to have bombarded Italian users with fake emails to generate around 1.25 million euros in ill-gotten gains.
July 2007 – Russian cyber thieves allegedly used a Trojan to steal 500,000 dollars from Turkish banks.
August 2007 – Ukrainian Maxim Yastremsky [aka “Maksik”] detained in Turkey for allegedly making tens of millions of dollars from ID theft.

October 2007 – Greg King arrested in the U.S. for participationin the February 2007 DDoS attack on Castle Cops; faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison and 250,000 dollars in fines.
November 2007 – The FBI arrests eight individuals in the second phase of its anti-botnet initiative dubbed “Operation Bot Roast”, which has allegedly so far uncovered more than 20 million dollars in economic losses and more than one million victim computers.
December 2007 – Cybercriminals broke into computers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL); reportedly also targeted Los Alamos National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Over 12,000 Social Security numbers and birth dates of ORNL visitors between 1999 and 2004 were stolen. This breach is a national security issue and leaves the individual victims vulnerable to identity theft and financial fraud.

The UK decrease the budget for its Police Central eCrime Unit (PCeU) by 30 percent,
"The coalition's decision to renege on the funding is a blow to Deputy Commissioner Janet Williams, who as well as leading the PCeU at Scotland Yard is in charge of national cybercrime policing strategy," Williams writes. "In March last year she complained that the unit's budget was 'not a lot of money' and said she aimed to persuade ministers to increase it this year."

"Barrett pleaded guilty to using two logins to drive up the price of items including vehicles, mobile phones and a digital camera," Williams writes. "He used the same contact details and IP address to create each account, the court heard."

what are keyloggers ...

There is useful experiment,When you want to use the stranger PC ,check the different Logo and symbols which appear an Toolbar or another part of desktop.because if any body run a Key logging you can find its symbols on the main page.
This experiment belong to the several years before ,but don`t ask me how could I figure out this experiment.
and so What do I mean by Keyloggers ...
The Internet is now a vital part of our personal and business lives. With increasing use of online systems, cybercrime also has grown exponentially. Information-stealing software are produced regularly and are used by thieves to steal personal and business information. One of the most effective ways of stealing information is through a program that can easily be made to capture keystrokes. This program captures everything that a user is doing- keystrokes, mouseclicks, files opened and closed, sites visited. More sophisticated programs can capture everything a user sees on his screen when performing a screen capture: just the mere opening of a file can allow an information thief to steal your data. These sophisticated and dangerous programs are called Keylogging programs or keyloggers.

Aliens almost certainly exist

Hawking says that in a universe with 100 billion galaxies, each containing hundreds of millions of stars, it is unlikely that earth is the only place where life has evolved.

"To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational," he said.
"The real challenge is working out what aliens might actually be like."

Hawking says that they could be microbes – basic animals such as worms which have been on Earth for millions of years, but suggests that extraterrestrial life could develop much further.

"We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet," Hawking said.

"I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet. Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonise whatever planets they can reach."

The scientist, who is paralysed by motor neurone disease, warned that contact with alien life could spell disaster for the human race.

"If aliens ever visit us, I think the outcome would be much as when Christopher Columbus first landed in America, which didn't turn out very well for the American Indians."

Hackers Steal $50,000 , be carefull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

some years ago, Fan Bao opened a checking account at Bank of America to facilitate his small import-export business called ZICO USA. When he needed to transfer money, he or his wife, Cathy Huang, would walk a few blocks to Bank of America’s Highland Park, Calif., branch and execute the wire in person.

But some times ago, a BofA branch official impulsed Bao to do his transfering online, assuring him that it was every bit as safe as banking in person. Only wires sent from Zico’s computer, accompanied by a downloaded security certificate, would be honored, he was asked. Bao followed the bank’s security direction to the letter, and accepted the bank’s assurances that his money was safe.

But after one year, two fraudulent drafts were sent through Bao’s account–one for $50,000 and another for $99,100. Both drafts were going to a bank in Croatia that Bao had never done business with. In fact, Bao had never before sent a wire transfer to anyone outside of Hong Kong or China.

The bank recognized that the transfers were improbable, but didn’t stop them. A bank official called Bao to report “unusual activity” on his account, but refused to tell him what it was because Huang was the company’s only “authorized agent” and she was on a business trip in Hong Kong, according to court filings. When Huang was able to reach BofA later that day, the couple discovered that nearly $150,000 in unauthorized wires had been charged to their business.

Huang immediately denounced the charges as unauthorized and fraudulent. The bank was subsequently able to stop payment on the second draft for $99,100, but the other $50,000 already had been paid to the Croatian bank and the money had been withdrawn. When Bao asked for the money back, Bank of America told him the missing $50,000 wasn’t their problem.

Why? Bao had accepted the bank’s “terms and conditions” when opening the business checking account, which said that the bank did not have to make any special effort to “detect errors” in wire transfer requests. Wire transfer rules only require the bank to follow standard security protocol, which includes encrypting accounts. In a five-page response that Nada Alnajafi, Bao’s attorney, calls a “form letter,” the bank cites wire transfer rules that say that for Bao to recover the fraud loss from the bank, he has to prove that it was the bank–not Bao–that had the security breach.

Bao has seen no other indication of hacking on his own computers, Alnajafi said. Aside from these two wires, neither this nor any of his other financial accounts, have been hit. Nonetheless, the bank says in its letter that it suspects that given the amount of “malware” in the online community, Zico’s computer was infected with some type of “keylogging virus” that captured his user credentials. Thus, he’s stuck. If Bao contends otherwise, it’s incumbent on the small business owner to file suit against one of the nation’s biggest banks to prove it.

He’s done just that. Bao says in the suit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, that the fraud occurred only weeks before the bank was set to initiate tightened security procedures that included a “SafePass token.” The bank informed him they were adding this level of security in late May and Bao immediately signed up. But the bank didn’t “activate” Bao’s safe pass until July 13th. The fraud occurred on June 22.

Bao’s suit indicates that he suspects that bank employees are in on the scam. He is alleging negligence and breach of good faith and fair dealing, among other things. He asks for his money back.

Bank spokeswoman Shirley Norton said the bank has not been served with the suit, so it cannot comment on the allegations. Citing client confidentiality, the bank also would not comment on any specific client matter. But Norton said that the bank takes safeguarding client information very seriously.

“BA Direct includes an advanced security mechanism with layered security controls for authenticating wire transfers,” she said in an email. “Those controls include personal digital certificates, encryption, customized authorization and entitlement, separation of duties, automatic log-offs and password expiration.”

“Our security procedure is consistent with those used by other major banks to authenticate wire transfers.”

The only thing Norton said that could give some comfort on the “could it happen to you” front is that business accounts present more risk than personal accounts.

online sport betting

Since 2006, the United States finally got what they have been trying many years to do: make online sports gambling illegal for everyone in the United States. Internet gambling was and still is a complex issue. The interstate wire act of 1961 was established to stop sports gambling activities to be completed via the phone. Lots of people were wondering if this act applied to the Internet. Since the act was established in 1961 before Internet was invented, no one really knew if the law was applicable. In addition the act did not clarify to what type of gambling it was meant for. Was it for all types of gambling or was it just for sports betting?

With all of the questions surfacing among this topic there was one certainty. If you own and ran a gambling website you will be pursued by the government until the end of days. That is one thing that they take extremely serious. Obviously, if you take care of the source you take care of the problem. In addition, it's much harder to go after ten million individuals then it is to target several hundred website owners.

There is a big ongoing debate right now regarding sports gambling. Those who are strongly against it believe that it will lead to games being fixed. In reality, it's not likely to happen in professional sports as it would be quite difficult to have players, coaches, referees, and owners all to be involved to fix the outcome of all games. Those that are in favor of sports betting are saying that it's just something people to do for purely entertainment purposes while they watch the game. My personal opinion is that sports gambling will eventually take you for everything you own.

I have known a lot of sports gamblers in my lifetime and they all started out small: $5 here and $10 there. Eventually, they run a bad streak and just lose everything because all they need is just 1 win to get everything back. For example, if you lose 10 times in a row (that does happen), you can lose a lot of money. 1st bet: 100, 2nd bet: 200, 3rd bet 300, 4th bet 600, 5th bet 1,200, 6th bet 2,400, 7th bet 4,800, 8th bet 9,600, 9th bet 19,200, 10th bet 38,400. If you started betting just $100 for the first bet and try to get back to even but you lose 10 times in a row that's a total loss of $76,800. I know what you're thinking. Who in the world does this? People have done it and I have seen it firsthand. Sports betting is very emotional and sometimes you just don't use your head, you bet on emotion.

There have been recent talks about making online gambling legal and then the government can just tax the bettors for their winnings. Honestly, I hope this doesn't happen because I have seen what sports gambling can do to a person. Gambling brings the devil out of people. If it was up to me, I would vote for online gambling to remain illegal in the United States.
