Hackers @ MindSay 
OK, I’m sick and tired to be sick and tired. What is with this mindsay wiki page? What is a wiki page? I figured it would just be some kind of weird link to your own page on wikipedia.com. Guess what? It isn’t. I looks like some stupid extended profile bull that mindsay uses to sell ads. Well I won’t put anything worth advertising on my wiki page out of spite. Spite! This is very similar to how I don’t put anything in my blog worth reading, except I cannot do anything to help myself in that department. But seriously, I don’t know what this wiki business is all about and I really don’t like it. This is because a) I’m not down with learning anything new as it pertains to my ramblings here and b) because I am getting spam on this thing. Spam messages from fake accounts saying they saw your profile and want to be friends. What the hell? I don’t want this crap on mindsay. I already have a myspace account that I have never used and never will but get fake friend requests all the time. I hate that kind of thing. Notice to anyone who likes to fancy themselves a hacker: don’t ever come up to me and say something to the effect like “I create spyware” or “I made that I love you virus a few years back.” You would be in a pool of bodily fluids faster than your little Trojan virus can macro the words that you have no penis. People who spend their time facelessly creating crap that has no use are basically doing so as an extension of their entire lives. They are completely useless, and we would all be better off if you did not exist just to be a nuisance. Imagine if your sole quality in life is being a nuisance. Well that is the existence of the mosquito and the hacker. Way to go people.

The University of California-Los Angeles alerts some 800,000 current and former students, applicants, faculty and staff that their personal information -- names, addresses, Social Security numbers -- were exposed when a hacker broke into a campus computer system.
The university says that only a small percentage of the records in the database were actually accessed. The case may be the largest computer breach ever at an American university.
Computer hackers will open a new front in the multi-billion pound "cyberwar" in 2007, targeting mobile phones, instant messaging and community Web sites such as MySpace, security experts predict.
As people grow wise to email scams, criminal gangs will find new ways to commit online fraud, sell fake goods or steal corporate secrets.
In 2007, hackers will be scouring social networking sites such as MySpace to gather information for more focused attacks on people's computers.
Identity theft fraudsters will trawl through sites which allow people to leave their pictures and personal details, finding targets for "phishing" attacks -- fraudulent emails aimed at tricking people into revealing credit card numbers.
"It is way too easy for the spyware guys to assemble a puzzle of who you are," said English, Trend Micro's Chief Technology Officer for anti-spyware.

Please do not post personal information on any online site (name, address, age, phone numbers, email address, location) or you could be the next ID victim. I was a victim back in 2004 and it's a scary event to check your account balance at your bank and see huge withdraws and overdraft notices. This is real and happens more than you realize and all that's needed is a few key pieces of information to make you their next target. Be smart and be safe online.

The Chinese Internet is growing like bamboo. The number of Internet users in China is doubling every six months, with about 100 million last time we checked. 10,000 new domain names are registered each month and e-commerce almost hit 70 billion US dollars in 2005.
But parasites are thriving in the bamboo forest. Xu JianZhao, a deputy director of China’s Internet security, has said that, “Hackers are rampant,” and provided these numbers: police investigated 20,000 Internet crimes last year and he postulated that the unreported thefts from online banks and game accounts alone could be in the millions. He also said (I paraphrase) that hackers are not the benign geek-hipsters that show off to their friends by hacking government systems and leaving pink bunnies on the homepage. They are hacking to get other peoples’ money.
And there appears to be no effective solution at work. Of the 11,500 cases specifically investigated by the Security Solutions Bureau (SSB), only 14 resulted in convictions for sabotage. In my book, a .01% success rate isn’t that hot.
The problem is simple: the Chinese government, though it has had successes in fighting Internet porn and online gambling, is struggling against online fraud and theft because its legislation is too vague. In other words, because the law is imprecise, it’s like trying to chop down a tree with a blunt piece of metal instead of an axe. Li Jingjing of the SSB said, “The legislation is so vague that it is difficult to apply in court.” The fact that most hackers are getting off is only encouraging more to commit online theft. As the Chinese Internet grows exponentially, so is the number of online crimes.
To be honest, I don’t really find too much fault with the Chinese government. The Internet is still so new and grows so fast that it would be practically impossible to keep up with every aspect of it. The government has focused on one area and let other problems slide. No doubt new laws will be written and old ones updated, but I also don’t hesitate to say new types of crime will sprout up. So goes the fight against crime on the World Wide Web. The Internet is a new frontier, as wild in some parts as the Wild West of America’s past. We’ll see if it is ever tamed.
