New Year Thoughts about Our Digital Lives
One of the best things about the holiday season for me is getting together with my siblings.

The thing that jumped out at me was that the virus appends the string “Win32.Dakila” to the infected file. “dakila” is a Filipino word meaning “great” in English. The proud Pinoy (colloquial, meaning Filipino) that I am, I had Read more…
A New spam circulating fake wire transfer statements
Today a new downloader trojan is being spammed widely. This spam message arrives as a reply to the victim’s query of asking for the wire transfer.
