Take care on the internet today
Lots of high-profile websites have been effectively hacked to redirect you to malware:
http://www.0x000000.com/?i=556
So patch, patch, patch!
(and if you run a website, for heaven's sake sanitise your data before passing it to a database...).

Re: Take care on the internet today
Article on the Hacker Ezine ' Massive SQL Injection Attack 600.000++', reposted IIRC on the Register. The URL I pasted in my original post evidently fooled whatever automatic URL detector is on CF, which is kind of funny given the nature of the attack.

Re: Take care on the internet today
It's tough to make ends meet, certainly. We have to stretch it out to the end of the month.

Hmmm........ I've just come up with a great title for a new Brit flick:
'Making ends meet in Chiswick'
It'd be about the less obvious victims of Brown's failed economic policy (if you can call it a policy) - a well educated and Liberal professional family who sadly overstretch themselves on their Northern Crock mortgage and then lose their life savings on an internet venture specialising in cheap Viagra.
As for the cast, well Hugh Grant would play Mr BBKing, Emma Thompson Mrs BBking and Colin Firth the devilishly charming lodger they're forced to take in to bolster their sagging finances. Wesley Snipes could double as the obligatory American interest and criminal element..........

Re: Take care on the internet today
I think the rule when using the net is to take care all the time and not just one day.
