Submission + - Google purges thousands of suspected malware sites (itnews.com.au) 1
Stony Stevenson writes: "In response to a concerted effort by cyber criminals to infect the computers of Google users with malware and make them unwitting partners in crime, Google has apparently purged tens of thousands of malicious Web pages from its index. Alex Eckelberry, CEO of Sunbelt Software, noted that many search results on Google led to malicious Web pages that expose visitors to exploits that can compromise vulnerable systems. Sunbelt published a list of search terms that returned malicious pages, the result of search engine optimization (SEO) campaigns by cyber criminals to get their pages prominently ranked in Google — Sunbelt refers to this as "SEO poisoning."
Let's hope Google has done its research and hasn't purged legitimate sites."

Submission + - Lack of input validation kills
ushering05401 writes: Multiple news sources are reporting at least eight deaths across North America due to failures in the calibration and use of pumps designed to deliver cancer medications. The medications being administered are so powerful that once an overdose has occured there is not a way to save the victims life. The case reviewed in this article http://www.canada.com/edmontonjournal/news/story.h tml?id=d296990e-fc05-4b5d-86b4-32d3c2e4be9b&k=6732 3
describes a woman who recieved an overdose living for twenty two days after the overdose knowing she was going to die.
In addition to the human element, regulators reviewing the cases cite the lack of sanity checks embedded into the pump as an issue that needs to be addressed. Yet another example of technology designed without proper validation testing to account for human error.
The nurses involved in most of these cases are not being disciplined. Regulators cite systematic failures that should have been addressed when the procedures and technology were implemented.

Submission + - Club Owner Has To Pay $40k For 10 Cover Songs
An anonymous reader writes: The music industry continues to look to squeeze money out of every possible place. The latest is the story of a club owner in Colorado who was forced to pay $40,000 because a cover band performed at his club and played 10 whole songs. It's true that the club owner in question did not have an ASCAP license, but it's hard to imagine why the club owner should be paying those fees rather than the band, and how it could possibly be fair to pay $40,000 for 10 cover songs that, if anything, probably acted as advertising for the real bands' songs.
