I'm off down London next month, for InfoSec, and because of such, have a need for a hotel in Kensington (Earls Court to be precise). I found several, but most were already fully booked, or stupidly expensive (Hilton falling into the latter at £350 PER NIGHT!).What astounded and disgusted me however, were the following;1. mowbraycourthotel.com2. studios92.com3. bokahotel.comWhy did they disgust me

One of the benefits of being an MVP, is you get all sorts of free products, some from Microsoft, and some from third parties. One of the third parties, is Paragon Software. I'm actually in the middle of putting a review together for a Paragon product that I've been using for a while (more on that in due course), but this came in today, which will put a damper on anyones decision to get them;You

I do despair of the fact the criminals running these, keep going back to old methods - yes they work, but that's irrelevant (and of course, people will always be gullible), going back to old methods means there's no surprises - and I like surprises!I processed a phish targeting Santander customers a few days ago (led to ~3GB of evidence for not just phishing, but a host of other things too - oh

As if the reputation of Tagged for spamming people, wasn't bad enough, the boys involved in fake pharmacies have decided to make it even worse, by mis-using the Tagged name, presumably in an attempt to bypass spam filters (woops!).From: Tagged To: raymonda_laermans@yahoo.co.uk Sent: Saturday, 17 March 2012, 22:11Subject: Senga D sent you a message...

For those that haven't yet noticed, and use it, I published an Outlook Export update yesterday. Nothing special, just a couple bug fixes.http://support.it-mate.co.uk/?mode=Products&p=outlookexportWould of course, be preferable to have the functionality of Outlook Export, built straight into Outlook itself, but it seems Microsoft aren't going to do that (would save the users alot of time, as

Just a note to be careful when looking for the latest Windows 8 adverts folks. Seems some companies not surprisingly, want to take advantage. pchelpsoft.com for example, who are using this (appeared on windows8beta.com);And Babylon, who are using this (also appeared on windows8beta.com);If you're looking for Windows 8, then either use the following, or for those of you with Technet/MSDN
Get extremely frustrated with some hosts sometimes (okay, extremely frequently, but the buggers keep either ignoring e-mails, filtering their abuse address so reports bounce because they happen to have a malicious URL in the abuse report (how dare I include the URL to the malicious content in an ABUSE REPORT!!!!!)).Any who, I got tired of waiting for Limestone to bother taking action or replying,
Got the new album yesterday and listened to it approx 30 times so far already and absolutely love it - if you've not got it yet (Amazon has it, for those without a local store selling it) - get it (still nowhere near as good as Bat Out of Hell - but what is!).Yes yes, this is completely different to what I normally put here, but [tries thinking of something funny].
People often ask me what I do to try and escape or get a break from work, and I always give the same answer - I don't get time for breaks - too much to do (thought I had 3,000 active cases, turns out it's over 600,000 and growing daily). The latest ones involve not surprisingly, the Blackhole exploit kit.A friend dropped me a note due to something that had been found and he's needing analysis. I

Why am I focusing so much on Cahoot phishes? Because of how many have flowed into my inbox today (in comparison, there's only been a handful of phishes for others today).As of two seconds ago;hxxp://www.cahomnm.co/?login=prepareDomain Name: CAHOMNM.CODomain ID: D28452919-COSponsoring Registrar: GODADDY.COM,
Those behind the Cahoot phish have gotten themselves a new domain already (and likely others - still looking in to that), same IP at Limestone though. This just popped in to my inbox;hxxp://www.rte66ts.com/?login=prepareReturn-Path: Delivered-To: elfinn-netralke@[REMOVED]X-Spam-Flag: YESX-Spam-Score: 10.574X-Spam-Level: **********X-Spam-Status: Yes, score=10.574 tagged_above=-
There's been somewhat of an influx of Cahoot phishing spam today, with 62 in the last 4 hours alone, coming into my inbox. All with the same subject, and all containing links to 6 specific domains.If you've been following the hpHosts additions today, you'll have already noticed they were added early this afternoon, and of course, I've already reported them to Cahoot, the hosting companies and of
