One week after hiding Internet Explorer attack code on his Web site, security researcher Aviv Raff has posted details on how to launch the attack.
In this article, I included some sample code of this bug. The code executes Windows Calculator (harmless). But first lets talk some more about this bug.
A federal grand jury on Thursday indicted a Missouri woman for her alleged role in perpetrating a MySpace online hoax on a 13-year-old neighbor girl who committed suicide.
Lori Drew of suburban St. Louis was charged with one count of conspiracy and three counts of accessing protected computers without authorization to obtain information to inflict emotional distress on the girl.
A New York City man isn't flying high after a recent flight on JetBlue Airways.
The man is suing the airline for more then $2 million. He claims a pilot made him give up his seat to a flight attendant and sit on a bathroom toilet for over 3 hours.
The Pisstakers started the MyBlogLog Contest on March 19, 2007. At this time, it was reported that the Pisstakers was the 34th most popular Web 2.0 website on the internet.
Single handly this site has effected the lives of over 265 of my Fellow bloggers. My figures are 27 weeks X 10 sites = 270 , however I am listed 5 times , so our new total would b 265 + any other site Ed wrote about that was not in his MBL Contest entries (which would increase our total).
While this total is not completely accurate because some sites have been written up more than once, it serves my purpose of showing you just how many sites have been affected by the Pisstakers. Also further investigation from Google proves this to be true.
Our research started in his archives , where I reviewed every link listed for the last 27 weeks. After many hours of reading we found the following :
Broken links - About Every Little Thing has a penchant for stick characters, spoiling Harry Potter fans' desire for spoilers, and winning awards. Good personal blogging blog. (Returned a 404 on the Harry Potter Story) , it looks like the author deleted that story on Week 16 . This link hurts the Pisstakers, and are frowned upon by Google Robots. You need to tell Ed if you delete your postings.
The funniest comment was in a contest page , where Ed made this comment : ' Linda, please put the radio back in the box, then think outside the box. ' (I was on the floor with this one).
Subjects covered from religion to contests and anything in-between if you could categorize them.
Plenty of satisfied bloggers happy with their review. Some took Buttons and posted it on their sites.
The DNS Report was more than okay. Let me explain this before we continue.
Any ' . COM ' address that is under 1 year old is considered to be a spammer site by Google. As the Pisstakers took a 2 year subscription to their domain name, so they do not have that problem. Those are Google's rules. You can complain as much as you like, it falls on deaf ears. This is 1 Feather in The Pisstakers Hat.
Another Feather to make this site look like a chief, was a site with a PR7 Backlink to the pisstakers, along with our backlink and 1,210 links to the Pisstakers from various sites. As we have many of hours here already, looking at links, let's research something else, that might prove to be more interesting.
The Pisstakers was recently linked to from CNN. We also make a startling discovery on how the Pisstakers were picked up on CNN. This is a BREAKING STORY we will reveal at another date, however, by accident ( I do believe) Ed grabbed someones attention. This is so cool !
On this site he writes : I do not know that I should claim to be a world authority on this particular topic, never having been to China or interviewed a Shanghai housewife, but in my more lucid moments, I have been trotting out a thesis about Chinese economic domination for sometime now.
Apparently CNN did not see it this way, they saw it as NEWS ! Read more about that here.
And now it is time for my opinion on this :
As you can see from the picture on the right, Ed's face has red rosey cheeks. Some of that I put there. I am also lead to believe, I keep Ed up nights with some of my idea's (Confirmed). This is a good thing, however, it is not why I am online with my website(s).
My site(s) were setup to help people online in many various ways. Alot of this is done very secretly, and is definitely having an impact on the internet. I am finding to beat a hacker, you must become one (in a sort) , to find out how it is done, and find a solution to stop it.
Along with that, we also review sites like the Pisstakers. I do not mind telling you my investigation was complete, and well beyond the call-of-duty. I looked real hard , everywhere, and there was more than 1 person reviewing this site. It is HUGE. All of our sources are totally confidential , however I can honestly say we have found a great webmaster. He truely cares about his readers !
Following all of those 1500+ links , and hours later, all I find is happy bloggers. Well, this is why I am online, to promote sites like this. To Find the good websites and tell everyone , why I think they are so HOT. This is better than any social bookmark you could belong to.
I was monitoring this site long before I entered in the MBL Contest. In Reviews On Weeks 22, 24 ,25, 26 & 27 our site was constantly being reviewed by this one website. Somehow I broke out of the MBL Contest, and now am making Headlines on this site (as you can see below).
The Bottom Line :
The last feather in Ed's hat, would be this FAIRNESS ,
I had no intention of "Winning" that memory chip from anyone. I do not mind telling you, I was hoping my fellow bloggers would compete against me. Surely I would have won, if I was the only contender.
The contest was fair and won respectfully by Link and Earn, where he did post more words than I about the Pisstakers in his review. (See the contest rules)
I was kinda holding out until the dust clears. In the mist of all this I was READY to promote my new Video's & Tutorials on this site. How could anyone compete with that ? Now at the moment there is no contests running, and I stand ready to now show users a side of the internet they never seen before. In Video & Audio, you can see what I see, and listen to my instructional tutorials on where to find your goodies on the internet. This is by far the best teaching practice around.
In closing, I would like to say, if you have a new cap floating around your home, mail it to Ed. He will need it for all his feathers and brownie points. ( Blue is just not his color)
Also, the market reports a shortage of gummi bears. We are still waitng for our 1lb bag, but I guess they are on back-order.
Our recommendation : If you have not visited this site, atleast look at it, similar to what we have done. If I have sparked your attention, then it is time to get involved by entering this simple contest, or by simply posting a comment.
This is an amazing write up. I never knew there was so much to find out about my site!
You have gone way beyond the call of duty, battling with the video experience and all that compression stuff. I will do my best to get you some payback to compensate for the nights without sleep.
This article is linked from many other stories as well. It seems Ed includes this story in each of his MBL Sunday's (Under see this video).
I talk about this site alot , so the best way to see what I say is in the 3rd column botton. Look for the Google search box, and type in mbl sunday. Now you can see everything we say about the contest.
