What’s up from Minnesota
Posted by PYRO in Blog, From The Road on 7/22/2005
Hey, what’s up?
It’s our day off in Minnesota an I am at the Apple Store in the Mall of America. I thought I would post some pics from my first show in Atlanta. Everything is going good. I’m having lots of fun and everyone here is really cool.
My last show is going to be at the House of Blues in Chicago, IL on the 26th and then I fly back to Cali on the 27th.
Ok, well here are the pics of Atlanta. We played at a place called the Masquerade. It was kinda a creepy old building, but in a cool way. We are traveling in the big bus with all of our gear in the trailer behind. There are three opening Bands too: 10 Years, Bloodsimple, and American Head Charge.
“Hot Chick” spreads infection
Posted by PYRO in Randomness, Tech on 2/4/2005
A new computer worm is out and about. Luckily, as with most, mac users are immune. However, I thought this was humorous enough to post.
It seems that the worm Bropia.F is spreading itself via MSN messenger pretending to be some sort of scandalous image. Common names for the file are: Bedroom-thongs.pif, Hot.pif, Naked_drunk.pir, Underware.Pif, LOL.scr, New_webcam.pif, RoFL.pif, and Webcm.pif.
Users receive the following humorous image of a “hot chick”en with a bit of a tan.
Symantec rated this variant as high on damage and medium on distribution in the wild. The worm sends itself to all of the contacts in an infected users buddy list.
Bropia.F is a regular party animal, and it brings friends. It also Drops the Rbot-VH network worm and backdoor trojan horse, allowing hackers to take remote control of computers having been infected, capturing keystrokes and screenshots. A plethora of credit card and identity theft opportunities are available, heck it even lets them capture webcam footage. Also along for the ride is agabot.ajc which can perform a DDos attack on certain services.
Bropia.F hides behind the guise of a humorous photo, but it’s no laughing matter. The file size for Bropia.F is about 184 KB, and it affects Windows 95, 98, ME, NT, 2000, and XP.
Yet another reminder to keep you computer up to date, not to open unsolicited attachments (even from people you know), and better yet… GET A MAC!
