Kaspersky Hacked?

http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry3943.html

 

Feb 8th, 2009, 7:50 am

It all kicked off last night with a posting to hacker board claiming to have carried out a relatively simple SQL Injection attack on one the world's biggest and best known IT security companies: Kaspersky.

 

The hacker, currently only know as 'uno' claims that the SQL Injection attack on usa.kaspersky.com has exposed activation codes, user details, bug lists and so on. "Kaspersky is one of the leading companies in the security and antivirus market. It seems as though they are not able to secure their own data bases. Seems incredible but unfortunately, its true. Alter one of the parameters and you have access to EVERYTHING: users, activation codes, lists of bugs, admins, shop, etc" uno says.

Βρηκα ενα ebook με διαφορα tips για ubuntu.

Το ξεφυλλισα και μπορω να πω οτι ειναι αρκετα καλο για καποιον αρχαριο, αλλα τα περισσοτερα απο αυτα που λεει ειναι application specific.

Επισης με χαλασε το οτι λεει "linux starter pack", αντι για "ubuntu starter pack", μιας και οτι εχει μεσα αναφερεται στο ubuntu με gnome.

The Real Reason for Microsoft's TomTom Lawsuit

 

http://www.computerworlduk.com/community/blogs/index.cfm?entryid=1953&blogid=14

 

It isn't a case of cross-license and everything is ok. If Tom Tom or any other company cross licenses patents then by section 7 of GPLv2 (for the Linux kernel) they lose the rights to redistribute the kernel *at all*.

 

Microsoft has been going around and doing these patent cross licensing deals with companies under NDA's so they never come to light for *years*.

 

That was the whole point of the Novell deal - Microsoft lawyers finally thought they'd found a way to *publicly* do these cross licensing deals and get around the GPLv2, but the GPLv3 put paid to that.

 

So it turns out that the TomTom lawsuit goes to the heart of Microsoft's attacks on Linux, and its effort to stop people using it in embedded systems – an increasingly popular option, and one, therefore, that is increasingly problematic for Microsoft.

A New York State Assembly bill intends to give open source developers the opportunity to offset 20 per cent of their development expenses, up to a maximum of $200, against tax. The bill summary explains that the New York parliament considerably reduces its costs by using open source software "such as Mozilla for email, Firefox for web browsing and WebCal for electronic calendars".
