Malware Pulls an "Italian Job"
A number of readers sent us word about a malware attack that has been underway since Saturday that began with the compromise of more than 1,100 mostly Italian Web sites. Websense claims that more than 10,000 sites have been infected by now, 80% of them in Italy. There are indications that most of the Italian sites are resident at the same large Italian hosting provider. Trend Micro reports on the attack, which is launched from a malicious Iframe tag inserted into pages on compromised sites. For visitors to these sites, this begins a cascade of "drive-by" malware downloads if one of several targeted vulnerabilities is available and unpatched. The first page to which visitors are redirected by the Iframe hosts a recent version of Mpack attack software. Panda has a month-old report on Mpack (PDF) that provides copious detail about its nefarious ways.
I was always so suspicious of him.
It's not your fault. The important thing is that you came through in the end, Harry
But I still feel like I should have taken him more seriously. Trusted him more. I always... I don't know.
Out of habit, Rimulus quickly looked at both sides to see that there was no one else there to see to hear, even though it was impossible for anyone to be there without him noticing.
Look, Severus knew what he needed to do in the end. If he hadn't wanted to help us he wouldn't have, and we would never have found the horcrux in Sirius's house. And you saw how Severus went down. Someone who doesn't care wouldn't have faced up to Him like that and been willing to die that way.
You're right.
Harry paused for a moment for another thought.
It hurts anyway, though, he sobbed.
That's perfectly fine.
It's weird but I feel guilty that I never listened to him or I never took him seriously in a good way.
Harry, listen to me.
Harry turned to pay his full attention to Rimulus. Trying to keep his focus on the tall man's taut face took a lot of effort, and he didn't feel any better yet.
Severus knew you couldn't trust him. That doesn't make you a bad person, Harry. He understood you better than we give him credit for, that's why he was able to make that decision.
I just pooped my cute little pants.
You know Italy is doing well for its cultural representation when "Super Mario" is the first thing that springs to mind.
Really? For me it's hairy women. And yes, I'd prefer that it didn't spring to mind. It just does.
Look! A distraction! *runs*
This (in the past) was called a peaceful banana republic coup, ... when a few privileged greedy people conspired to subversively/overtly topple/overthrow their populist democratic government for their special greedy, military, religious... interest.
In the USA, there was a time that this was called TREASON!
The old gray (US) dame, just ain't what she use to be, work her to death daily, put her away wet, and buy/steal the next one another day.
VOTE THEY ALL OUT ALWAYS, or hang'em for treason, the entertaining spectacle will be of great interest and attendance for US.
Don't worry everything is okay with US, and I am crazy, but smiling and laughing all the way to the bank (stock market).
Unaccountable leaders are masters, and unrepresented people are slaves. How do US and EU fare?
