National CyberCrime Awareness Month - IBM AIX rpc.cmsd buffer overflow vuln

it is October, and you know what that means. hack or treat! It is the National Cybercrime Awareness month and someone already posted over 30,000 gmail, windows live, yahoo and other account usernames/passwords <--the list...(BBC article) (dailymail article) but how did this attacker aquire these?.. and why would they post them to the pub? . Most likely a phishing scam, but you never know, it could have something to do with a second party spacker(spammer/hacker) owning a large botnet. anyways check your crap and do not use 123456 or other retarded simple shit as your passwd. People are spooked and here is a crappy article about fighting phishers.

Today, google used a barcode as their daily image. after very little research i found that it is the 57th anniversary of the patent on the "barcode". here is a site that shows you how to make your own like google. with a lot of info on the concept.
