Submission + - How phishers think, act, and make a profit (networkworld.com)

Submitted by
whitehartstag
whitehartstag writes: "Write up of the excellent session at Black Hat that detailed how phishers create sites, share info and code, and basically are lazy. They store their stolen data on websites that they have hacked into or on sites like guestbooks. And even worse they are not protecting their stolen data which means that all one needs to do to find this info is to reverse engineer a real phisher's website, look at their php script, and find out where they are storing the data."

Submission + - Microsoft Hyper-V Leaves Linux Out In The Cold (networkworld.com) 1

Submitted by
whitehartstag
whitehartstag writes: "No offense to SUSE Enterprise Server crowd, but only providing SUSE support in Hyper-V is a huge mistake. By not supporting Red Hat, Fedora, CentOS, and BSD, Microsoft is telling us Hyper-V is a Microsoft only technology. More Mt. Redmond, Microsoft center of the universe thinking. That's disappointing. Sure, if you are a Microsoft only shop, Hyper-V will be an option for virtualization. But so will VMware and XenServer. But if you run a mixed shop, Hyper-V won't solve your problems alone — you'll have to also add VMware or Xen to your virtualized data center portfolio. Or just go with VMware and Xen and forego Hyper-V."

But he says feedback from the Linux community has been on the order of "you shouldn't really be talking to the devil." Full story http://www.networkworld.com/news/2007/060707-xandr os-microsoft-linux-patent.html"
