Anal midget porn is all the rage now

Filed under: Site — tansqrx @ 3:04 pm

I’m starting to have a real problem in my forums. Apparently “midget anal porn” is the hottest new thing. I didn’t think midgets were into that kind of thing but apparently I’m wrong (apologies to any midgets out there). I knew that spam may be a problem on my board but I didn’t think that I would be a target just yet. I only have 16 registered users (including the spam bots). How in the world did they find me? Just like junk mail I figure this problem is only going to get worst since I am now apparently on the list. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

Recent exploit in Messenger

Filed under: Yahoo! — tansqrx @ 3:05 pm

It looks like I haven’t been paying attention to my Messenger vulnerability reports. Its been quite some time since any creditable vulnerability has been publicly discovered in Messenger so I don’t check on it all the time. Apparently some researchers have been hard at work. Security Focus has a “Yahoo! Messenger Service 18 Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability” located at http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/20625/info. I also see where a separate overflow was reported on one of the security boards but I have not researched it yet. From the report Yahoo! Has already patched the system so I don’t think I will get to have any fun with this one.
