Announcement

Minutes ago I received a fishy email from a so called Trojan detection robot. What is odd is I have never implemented let alone subscribed to such a service. Therefore I prompted to do some investigation on this spoof trojan detected email.

The email sounded rather authentic and unknowing email users may easily fall prey to this. Worst part of all is this email requests you to download an executable file. A file like this will automatically install in your computer without prior notice if activated. The email content sounded really convincing but I discovered something amiss.

If I think back really hard, the last time this blog was redesigned was back in 2003-2004. Back then, I was still using the MovableType blog publishing system and only heard about the simplicity WordPress was offering in competition.

Then not long after, MovableType soon became more commercially focused and that is the opportunity which gave the overwhelming success WordPress needed. But now I’m not here to give a history lesson, it has just been so long since I redesgined my blog. The teaser is inside this entry. :)

Happy New Year to everyone from us over here.

As usual the year had passed us quickly. The hours in the day seemed slow but each minute still made it through the day. Anyway, let’s not look back so much of what might have happened but what could happen in this year, 2007.

And there’s going to be something happening in 2007, on this website as well. An announcement of joint venture, maybe an update or even a change to this blog, new insight of the website industry in Malaysia and many more. So come back soon and hopefully it’ll all be revealed at the end of this month. :)

I have noticed many may have fallen prey to this when I saw my keyword search report therefore I’ve taken the initiative to add this piece of information below to help you. I hope that helps. – July 1, 2007

Q: Oh no! I clicked on one of the links in the Aunt Edna email! What should I do?
A: First thing: delete the email. Then use a newly-updated virus scanner to check your machine for any infection. Next, download the free version of Ad-Aware, and check your computer for spyware and adware. And finally, if you really want to be safe, you should stop using Internet Explorer (which is very, very unsafe to browse with nowadays) and download Firefox, which is a safer, faster, more modern and totally free browser from the fine folks at Mozilla.

If you’ve recently received a postcard allegedly from the provider 1001postcards.com, make sure you double check the suspiciousness of it being sent by a family member. I recently received one and curiosity led me to the finding of the Aunt Edna virus.

According to investigations done, I’ve found that the email was sent from a company in the USA. It’s too quick to jump to conclusions since black hat hackers could easily hijack an email server to use for spamming. But some investigation of the email has given away clear signs of it’s non-existent authenticity.

This email was one of those sent out as a disguise for a Paypal member to verify their account and when they’ve arrived at the spoof website, they’ll be asked to enter their personal details. Then after that it’ll be doomsday if you aren’t careful.
