Limbo Malware is on the Loose so Beware: Be Careful With Your Bank Account Information
Do you transact online and do online banking? If yes, then beware of Limbo malware. It’s a Trojan horse program that can hijack your account by injecting itself in web browsers and requests bank card numbers and PIN numbers from innocent or unknowing users.
According to IDG News Service, the malware known as Limbo “integrates itself into a Web browser using a technique called HTML injection, said Uri Rivner, head of new technologies at RSA Consumer Solutions. Because it’s so closely integrated in the browser, it can operate even while the user is at the real bank site and can actually change the layout of that site, he said.”
Olympic Torch Virus aka Invitation Virus
How true that there is an email virus going around the internet that has a subject line called “INVITATION”?. I got this info from my mailbox saying that “Do not open any message with an attached file called ‘Invitation’ regardless of who sent it, It is a virus that opens an Olympic Torch which ‘burns’ the whole hard disc C of your computer.” Categorically, the alleged virus is fit to be named “Olympic Torch Virus”.

The New Search Engine Cuil: Will it Beat Google?
Cuil (pronounced as “cool”) is a new search engine that promises to index pages on the world wide web two to three times as much as Google does at present. For webmasters/bloggers, this might sound like a very good idea. If Cuil’s promise would be fulfilled, our sites would be indexed more effectively and presumably faster, thus, could increase traffic to our websites because if more pages are indexed, more internet users would be able to find our sites. Well, at least that’s our best hope. For internet users, this could also mean that they would find more articles about their keyword searches. On the other hand, how good can Cuil filter relevant articles and spam sites is up to now unknown because Cuil is still new in the business.
