We heard the same during the Cyprus banking crisis.
At the time, a startup named Neo & Bee with a certain Mr. Danny Brewster as CEO, touted itself more or less the first bitcoin bank.
Anyway, turns out the guy left the country in a hurry amidst allegations of bitcoin fraud, never to be seen or heard of from again. All that's left is empty buildings with the Neo & Bee's logo outside, and (if you trust the media), unpaid advertising companies and unpaid employees.
So I say beware of people proclaiming they have magical solutions. Trust them at your own peril...
At this time, an experiment is taking place at CERN.
The reason we chose [to hack] this site, is to remind you of a few things. This is not done because of any personal conflict between us and the CERN management team, but because of the high traffic which this site will experience within the next 24 hours, due to the experiment.
The ** were used not to expose people whom we have nothing to blame for:)
As we wrote in preface, our purpose is not to disrupt the system or destroy the site... our purpose is to show our reaction to many member of the "active???" GHS, which has become arrogant without producing...
Stupid factions are created just to verbally bully and excluse, from IRC channels, persons that are not considered (by themselves and their minions) worthy of their knowledge and image.
Some others.. the 1337 of the "scene" do nothing but chat and drink coffe, but they do not act, since all they are inclined to do is gossip... but when it comes to "security"... what's that? we are 2700.. dont mess with us.
LAMERS AND SHOWOFFS!!
Stop drooling and ass-kissing, and grab a keyboard! But of course, critisizing is easy, especially when you are around a bunch of 20 year-old stupid skiddies chanting "2600" - "2600". Go to insomnia.gr and start burying with your best shovel.. even so, it will bare the seal of GST.
We are everywhere... because unlike you, we do not spend our nights writting verses or "rapping" in squares... nor mocking what we cannot touch...
We will not take your pants off because we don't want to see you running panicked and naked, trying to hide, simply because we are not like you. You should have expected this, when you were mocking things which you never thought of doing... but enough time spent with a bunch of schoolboys who've learned hacking through Hollywood movies and the dumb American culture of neo-geek who reads magasines about hacking while trying to break into his girlfriend's email to see if she is cheating on him, and has linux dual boot just to awe his friends who, too, read neo-hack-mania magasines. .
The whole Greek internet is full of wholes.. some of the largest govenrmental sites know nothing about the term security, since they assign design to lame companies...
THERE IS NO SECURITY THROUGH FAVORITISM
We salute the true amateurs and lovers of the art of computers. Old people who gave up because they got bored and tired not with this art, but with the complex of those "experts" in the area!! And the younger ones who without much talk work with the head bowed because they only care about knowledge and nothing else!!
Dear CERN admins, we have pached the serious BUG which your site had, to avoid turning it into a Dork and have it decafed everyday with the bullshit of every wannabe hacker.
Do not search for us.. We will find you... very soon !!!!
AVG Anti Virus: HOME
The complex anti-virus protection for your computer.
Which company would promote its solution as a complex one, especially in the antivirus market?
There's something fishy here... Reminds me of Google bombing. Maybe some people are upset by the fact that Intel is coming into play.
Natual language is inherently ambiguous. This has long been exploited by politicians, priests etc to control the masses. We should never accept something we are being told gullibly.
Even since the 9/11, the Bush administration has been violate people's privacy under the pretense of safeguarding national and world security.
Many of the measures taken however are raising suspicion; their effectiveness is questioned by security specialists such as Bruce Schneier, and they pose a threat to the citizens' funadmental right for privacy. The US government has devoted itself in a race for collecting information; reading habits, travelling and shopping preferences are just a few examples of the kind of information being aggregated.
I believe there are shadowy motives behind this information collection race. I think that corporations are trying to monitor people's habits to be able advertise and sell their products more effectively. Apart from that, I believe that the government, or corrupted government officials, might be acquiring and selling information to industrial rivals.
And all these under the pretense of preserving the security of the world... It is the least to say vulgar, seeing corporations taking advantage of 9/11 in such a shameless way.
I personally have no problem limiting my freedom a bit, for the sake of national security. But when the government abuses my goodwill, and uses it so shamelessly, I feel like being raped again and again.
I think Netscape 8's case was overblown by the media. I believe NS8's patch could have easily appeared the next day on their website, without any fuss.
It seems to me that other interests are served here; somebody may have orchestrated the "Netscape embarassed" story, replicated it in a few places (e.g. blogs) and let it be blown out of proportion.
Riker and Picard together (horrified): Lawyers !! Geordi: It can't be. All the Lawyers were rounded up and sent hurtling into the sun in 2017 during the Great Awakening.
Bruce Schneier explains in Crypto-Gram (Dec 15, 1998 issue) the fallacy behind cracking contents (http://www.schneier.com/crypto-gram-9812.html). In the article, he points out that:
1. The contests are generally unfair.
2. The analysis is not controlled.
3. Contest prizes are rarely good incentives.
As Schneir says: "Just because no one wins a contest doesn't mean the target is secure...it just means that no one won."

Well... Not to underestimate the finding, but frankly it's nothing new. Executables may carry malicious code, no matter how innocent they look.
To avoid running the executable, you can use WinRAR (or 7Zip etc) to open the SFX as if it were a regular archive.

I get "IKABARJR" with Caesar Cipher, shift by +17 pos. Interesting... ^o)
What on earth is the hidden "RTJKJAS" that appears on the bottom of http://elitetorrents.org/ ?
I guess somebody didn't like the FBI and HS insignias... Is this an indication of HS abusing the power it gained after 9/11 ?
