<title>Might Yahoo&#x27;s email move deliver unintended consequences?</title>

<description><![CDATA[http://www.networkworld.com/community/blog/might-yahoo%E2%80%99s-email-move-deliver-unintended-consequences 

"Yahoo to free up email addresses that have been inactive for a year..." 

So, like Hotmail with the inactivity periods. That explains why my old phished one was reopened a few years ago.

<title>Yahoo to Users: Let Us Read Your Emails or -- Goodbye!</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28342198</link>
<description><![CDATA[As of June 1, all Yahoo email users are required to upgrade to the company's newest platform, which allows Yahoo to scan and analyze every email they write or receive. According to Yahoo's help page, all users who make the transition agree to let the company perform "content scanning and analyzing of your communications content" to target ads, offer products, and perform "abuse protection."

Wow thats crazy.
I use yahoo and I don't like the sounds of this!
 :mad:

Gay and haven't come out yet? Yahoo knows. Having an affair? Your spouse may not know &#151; but Yahoo does. Any interests, ailments or projects you'd rather not share? You're sharing them with Yahoo, perhaps forever.

<description><![CDATA[Just when you thought that some non-electronic forms of communication were safe from the NSA et al.

  quote:JUNE 7--A high-tech computer system that captures images of  &#147;every mail piece that is processed&#148; by the United State Postal Service was critical in helping federal agents track...


http://www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/woman-arrested-for-obama-bloomberg-ricin-letters-687435

Evidently if you want any privacy in the US you have to talk to no-one, email no-one, text no-one and send no-one a letter.

I'm off to my monthly meeting in a cave (probably bugged).

Carry on.

<title>NSA Mining Data In 9 American Multinational Internet Corps.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28357080</link>
<description><![CDATA[The National Security Agency and the FBI are tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading U.S. Internet companies, extracting audio, video, photographs, e-mails, documents and connection logs.

The highly classified program, code-named PRISM, has not been disclosed publicly before.

<title>EMET saves the day</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28328108</link>
<description><![CDATA[I know many here have never heard of Microsoft's EMET (Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit) or don't bother to give it a try (it's free). That said it's another layer to add to A/V software etc. It takes next to no resources,

Currently EMET is in Beta (v4.0) but is scheduled for release on May 28th.

Anyway here's a story about how EMET performed in a real-world test.

  quote:Would EMET 3.5 have stopped the attack as I predicted four months earlier? Yes, I am fully aware EMET 4v Beta is available for download.  But I am trying to remain honest to my words from January 1st. Let&#146;s see. The team at Metasploit reproduced the exploit used in the attack and posted the source. 

...

So at this point, I&#146;m pretty happy. EMET has kept me honest against Deep Panda and their threat towards Nuclear Scientists. What I said four months earlier that EMET 3.5 preventing against novel attacks held very true four months after I said it. 

Nuclear Scientists, Pandas and EMET Keeping Me Honest

<title>Logging capabilities of consumer/SOHO grade routers</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28388464</link>
<description><![CDATA[Consumer level speeds for internet service and LANs are exceeding the capacity of older routers to handle the traffic. Out home network capabilities have now exceeded the limits of my venerable old Netgear FVS318 and ZyXel G2000+ routers. 

So now I'm looking for $200 and under (street prices) routers that have

SYSLOG capability with detailed output in formats compatible with Link Logger and Kiwi Log Viewer 

Web based interface for the most common configuration and admin tasks

Good status reporting and testing capability 

Solid firmware and hardware 

Nice to have, but not a requirement:

Built-in WPA Enterprise RADIUS server for up to five user profiles 

VLAN capability 

Traffic prioritization 

I appreciate any suggestions for current routers (and/or third party firmware) to meet these needs.   

Thanks, EG

<title>Paranoid about hacked email, Yahoo, Paypal or Ebay = no help</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28388363</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hi

I have had my Yahoo account hacked for the 2nd time in about 18 months, even though my password is very secure and I format windows every couple of months to kill all undetectable viruses that may get by my highly secure environment.

There no longer seems to be any support from yahoo to see what happened to my account and to get any log files they have. I am pretty sure my email account was only used to send out spam because of the crap in my sent items and failed delivery notices in my inbox and nothing else was touched but I want to be sure because there are some sensitive messages I store in email. There only support seems to be to follow instructions on there website until you get frustrated trying to find an email to contact a live person that you quit.

This yahoo account is also linked to my Paypal and Ebay but there has nothing fishy going on with them but I am still not able to contact them to get any information on my account history, just in case the hackers used my email to get into those accounts which are probably more important the yahoo account. Yet they seem to take the same strategy of Yahoo with no support email to be found.]]></description>

<title>Is Oracle &#x26;amp;quot;behaving&#x26;amp;quot; lately with their Java security??</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28382741</link>
<description><![CDATA[I keep on checking the Java update page, and seems that there has been "less" updating going on from Oracle. 
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Does this mean that this current Java 7u21 is more secure than the others in the past? But Im sure there will be one anytime soon.

Was just asking because Oracle now updates Java every patch Tues like MS does. And its not yet updated.]]></description>

<title>Avast Updates</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28359214</link>
<description><![CDATA[Used my email addy to register free Avast 4.x on my in laws PC. I just got an email stating their Avast program hasn't been updating virus definitions. (I plan to call them this wkend to ask if something else might be going on). The email has a link/or button to auto fix the program. I'm wondering if a forced upgrade might occur if auto fix is implemented. I have stuck with the older program for a few yrs now since it seemed to take care of business for them. Anyone else had this problem?]]></description>

<title>Oh dear!</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28378497</link>
<description><![CDATA[They really do exist!  I was reading a weekly news publication from a friend's condo association last night and nearly fell off my seat.  I read an article that I found hysterical.  It was a warning from the administration of the association about the computers being used in a library on the premises, a very public space.  Said computers were becoming less and less usable, and there was now only one left that was not afflicted.  Why?  Someone was sneaking in and putting viruses on them!!!  :D  The article went on to say that there are cameras in the library and that whomever it was that was putting these viruses on the computers would be caught and cited!  

If you think that I am joking, I am not.  I may have embellished the wording while telling you about this just a bit, but I found it so funny, it's hard to believe.   Here is the original article for your enjoyment.

<title>US Antivirus companies working with the govt. to spy.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,28380299</link>
<description><![CDATA[I warned people for years not to trust US-Based AV companies, now we have confirmation that at least one company is allowing the govt. to snoop. I would predict more, and given the compartmentalized way this is handled I would bet most of the people at most of these companies aren't even aware of it.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-06-14/u-s-agencies-said-to-swap-data-with-thousands-of-firms.html
McAfee firewalls collect information on hackers who use legitimate servers to do their work, and the company data can be used to pinpoint where attacks begin. The company also has knowledge of the architecture of information networks worldwide, which may be useful to spy agencies who tap into them.]]></description>
