'gather up your friends and start your own firm' lullaby!

(To be sung with the theme from the Beverly Hillbillies)

Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Ted, A poor college kid, barely kept his family fed. But then one day he was talking to a recruiter who said, "they'll pay big bucks if ya work on a computer"..

UNIX, that is....Windows 10....Workstations...C++...VB

Well, the first thing ya know ol' Ted's an engineer. The kinfolk said "Ted, move away from here". They said "Bangalore is the place you oughta be" so he bought some donuts and he moved to Kormangla...

Intel, that is....dry heat... no amusement parks.....

On his first day at work, they stuck him in a cube. Fed him lots of donuts and sat him at a tube. They said "your project's late, but we know just what to do Instead of 40 hours, we'll work you 52!"

OT, that is ...unpaid...mandatory.....

The weeks rolled by and things were looking bad. Schedules started slipping and some managers were mad. They called another meeting and decided on a fix. the answer's very simple..."we'll work him sixty-six!"

Tired, that is.. stressed out.. no social life....

Months turned into years and his hair was turning gray. Ted worked very hard while his life just slipped away Waiting to retire when he turned 64, instead he got a call and escorted out the door.

Laid off, that is...de-briefed...unemployed.

Now the moral of the story is, do what you are told companies will use you and discard you when you're old So gather up your friends and start your own firm, Beat the competition, watch old bosses squirm.

Millionaires that is.....Bill Gates...Steve Jobs...

Ya'll come back now, ya hear.

There! Now get back to work!

Girl's Logic: Don't Call me OUTRAGEOUS! m just Confused!

Dare you question their intelligence (you are doomed) : 

Atleast there is one place where they prove how dumb you are compared to them: 

And wait you can't call them illogical, and if u do (use vocab they understand)/ and if someone else called them OUTRAGEOUS you got to come up with a counter reason to prove they are not: 

Now some girl talk (U probably ll have to hear a lot of these, stories of friend of friend of friend which she heard from her friend's friend. And they seem so logical when speaking to each other -- atleast the one not narrating stories or both in some cases. Nevermind!) :

"How Easy It Is To Infiltrate Facebook"- forbes

Botnets, networks of hijacked computers controlled remotely for criminal gain or spreading propaganda, have been aggravating cybersecurity professionals for years. The near-billion people connected to social networks has made Facebook and Twitter the new juicy targets for similar schemes. These so-called social botnets establish fake Facebook or Twitter accounts (or take over real ones) and mimic human actions to harvest valuable personal information like email addresses and phone numbers. Truthy, a website created by researchers at Indiana University to analyze the spread of Web memes,exposed a year ago how Twitter bots were used to run astroturf and smear campaigns during the 2010 U.S. elections. The action has matured enough to the point where social botnets are for sale on the Internet black market for as much as $29 per bot.

Facebook over the years has created a sophisticated defense mechanism called the Facebook Immune System that is designed to identify spam and bot-driven clicks. It works pretty well–Facebook claims that only 1% of its users experience spam–but it definitely isn’t foolproof.

The UBC researchers set up a network of 102 bots controlled by a single botmaster piece of software. It’s pretty easy to set up sham automated accounts on Facebook. Hackers link their accounts to phony e-mail addresses, pick attractive photos for user profiles and pay cheap labor or use optical character recognition to the thwart the CAPTCHA codes that users have to input to “prove” they’re human.

The bots were able to send 8,570 friend requests. Eighty percent of Facebook users contacted okayed the requests. The botnet was then able to pull down email addresses, phone numbers and other personal data and not just of the direct connections but of Facebook users connected to those people. Their experiment showed that the controlling botherder can continue to do its work undetected and collect, on average, 175 new pieces of publicly-inaccessible user data per bot per day.

Thousands Of WordPress Blogs Hijacked!

(courtesy: EFY Times)



A recent report from anti-virus firm Avast says that cyber criminals have hijacked thousands of WordPress Blogs to deploy malicious codes. According to the revelation from Avast, the hackers are exploiting a critical hole in the TimThumb WordPress add-on to deploy malicious code on a large scale. The anti-virus firm has said that it blocked more than 2,500 infected sites in September and a similar number is anticipated for October as well.

Avast says that the hackers are installing the professional BlackHole exploit framework on the affected servers, which tries to infect visitors to the WordPress blog with malicious code. The framework tries out various vulnerabilities in the visitor's browser and installed plug-ins, mentions a report by The H.

However, the anti-virus firm has not revealed what kind of hole in TimThumb is being exploited. It is believed that Avast is indicating on the same vulnerability that was exposed three months ago which was being actively exploited at that time. Attackers have been successful in finding vulnerabilities in WordPress installations but it seems many admins are not aware of the danger yet. The reason cited is that may be they don't even know that they have installed the vulnerable script on their server.

The report says that the add-on could have got onto the server as part of an installable theme – some themes use TimThumb to resize images. Avast has advised the admins and owners of WordPress blogs to check whether their installed theme uses a vulnerable version of TimThumb. Users can find an incomplete list of affected themes on the sucuri.net blog.
