Китайцы решили замести леды?

если честно, то я как то слегка и рад..... не хочу показаться жестоким...
однажды был случай, когда год назад я выступил в защиту одного человечка, так ихние модеры ополчились, приписали меня этому человеку в друзья-подельники, слова написать не давали в оправдание, посты удаляли. Больше года туда не заходил.
кому то я думаю тоже там пощастливилось .....

я вот как то нефига не рад, ну бордз бог с ним, а адвертс вполне удобная, бесплатная торговая площадка, где можно продать или купить по интересуюшим тебя ценам без гимора, я много чего там продавал, за что премного благодарен создателям сайта.

А мне борда нравится
Там все ленивые бюрократы из госсектора постоянно тусуются
Если хочешь им настроение испортить, то лучше места не найти

[ironia]

Latvian hacker behind data theft at boards.ie - Times

A computer hacker in Latvia was behind last month’s cyber attack on boards.ie, which resulted in the theft of data associated with thousands of its users.

The hacker has already used stolen passwords and email addresses to access credit from gambling websites, but the full scale of his activities is not yet clear. Gardai believe the theft of email addresses, passwords and other data, raises the prospect of long-term identity fraud, which could take more than a year to become known to a victim. The hacker may be able to use the information to obtain credit card numbers, security codes, PINs, and even mobile phone numbers.

Some users of boards.ie have reported an increase in spam emails aimed at getting them to click on links to download malicious software that steals personal information, including banking details.

The cyber crime, the biggest in the history of the state, is the subject of an international inquiry involving Interpol, the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigation (GBFI) and the Latvian police. The hacker’s IP address was traced to Latvia by the security forces last month. It is not yet clear if he was acting alone or was in a gang with international contacts.

The advanced capabilities of hackers in eastern Europe and Russia is well known. Hackers from countries such as Latvia and Lithuania offer to work on sabotaging company websites for less than ?65 a day.

The Latvian hacker’s approach had all the hallmarks of a modern cyber attack, said security sources. “It was sophisticated and professional and could prove to be highly lucrative. We know that whoever was responsible has made some money from the attack, but he has the potential to make a lot more if the users of boards.ie do not change their passwords and PINs which they use to access other sites,” one security source said.

Boards.ie had 294,000 registered users at the time of the attack. The online discussion forum was breached shortly after 11am on 21 January, forcing its temporary closure. The owners described it as a “broad spectrum attack”.

The hacker inserted malicious software, which dumped the website’s user table on to a public directory. The site’s administrators sent emails to users warning them of the breach and advised them to change their passwords.
