I’ll Tell You What…

For all you Windows users, there’s a new virus on the loose…

Bagle.ai is a mass-mailing worm with its own SMTP mass-mailing engine that harvests addresses from infected machines and includes a remote access program. The virus is being sent with multiple attachment types. In some cases, the body of the message contains a password for attached password-protected ZIP files. The virus can copy itself to file sharing folders common, for example, with peer-to-peer networks, and can terminate existing security applications processes.

Attachment names (with com, cpl, exe, scr, zip extensions) are:

• Cat
• Cool_MP3
• Dog
• Doll
• Fish
• Garry
• MP3
• Music_MP3

Anarchist ’Ruckus Society’ trains for blockades, chaos, disruptions

Here’s an interesting article about how Teresa Heinz Kerry’s Tides Foundation is funding, through the Howard Heinz Endowment, “some of the principal groups organizing demonstrations and disruptions of the GOP convention” including the anarchist group, Ruckus Society. This is a very interesting read.
