ASTALAVISTA SECURITY GROUP : Trojan poses as Osama capture pics

In an e-mail sent to an estimated one million internet users yesterday a new downloader Trojan, Small-AXR, tried to find a home in unsuspecting Windows users machines. The Trojan was located in a pics.scr file zipped and attached to an email with the following message.

Turn on your TV. Osama Bin Laden has been captured. While CNN has no pictures at this point of time, the military channel (PPV) released some pictures. I managed to capture a couple of these pictures off my TV. Ive attached a slideshow containing all the pictures I managed to capture. I apologize for the low quality, its the best I could do at this point of time. Hopefully CNN will have pictures and a video soon. God bless the USA!

The email was circulated with various different subject lines including “God Bless America!”, “Captured! Finally!” and “Finally! Captured!”.

Users are strongly urged to resist the temptation to click on this shiny new attachment and ignore the message thus averting the world of pain that comes along with these types of things.

Tonight at 8PM the first episode of Systm the new all tech vidcast by Kevin Rose. (I’d give full cred to everyone but the systm.org site is already down)
All episodes will be released free of charge, in a variety of formats (Theora, Xvid, WMV, H.264, PSP), wrapped in RSS (for vidcasting), and liscensed under the Creative Commons.

This release comes on the heels of Kevin announcing his release from his G$ (whoops did I hit shift by mistake?… well it seems fitting) er.. G4 contract. And it seems he’s going to be devoting his time to providing the good tech content we’d become used to from him. With his “DarkTips” on TechTV and The Broken.

I’m leaving G4 so that I can focus on what I love most, in-depth tech content. Starting with today’s premiere release of our new tech HOW-TO show ‘Systm,’ we will begin to build a network of technology television programming from the ground up. While Systm and thebroken will be our two flagship shows, in time, we hope to add more shows to the schedule with former TechTV cast members you all know and love.

Good on ya Kevin.

We hope to see some great content from you and hope you all the success in the world to prove to these big media conglomerates that we actually DO want tech with our TV.

Here’s some ways you can help Systm and Kevin

How you can help -
- Spread the word: Post in message boards, blog about it, email/IM your friends. Let anyone and everyone know that tech programming is alive and well.

- Donate: We are purchasing studio space in the next few weeks – help the fund!

As many of you may have heard the MPAA is now trying to follow the RIAA’s example and suing BitTorrent Tracker operators. Now in the preceding years the RIAA have proved that might makes right and lived by the golden rule (he who has the gold makes the rules). We want to put this to a stop and stop the fearmongering the MPAA and RIAA are spreading. These organizations operate with no respect for the law but use it to further their ends such as poisioning P2P networks with adware/spyware that uses a security hole in a product that is not owned by them (link)

Well LokiTorrent has taken the high road and decided to stand up to the MPAA and we want the whole online community to stand behind them. Please help LokiTorrent whith their legal defense fund here
