Tomorrow’s Malware

My favorite tech quote is from Giorgio Maone. It goes like this: If today’s malware mostly runs on Windows because it’s the commonest executable platform, tomorrow’s will likely run on the Web, for the very same reason.

I wonder which folder the typical user will select. Hmmm, the Desktop, My Documents? And where all these interesting files are? Mac OS X user, you’ve got a problem. Don’t mount the desktop. […]

It’s worth having a read of this article. […]

The Public Perception of the Image of Hackers

It’s been a long day. I am happy to inform you that the House of Hackers community has reached remarkable 80 members since its opening 10 hours ago. It even got some exposure on Dark Reading (

It is not just the hype which is obvious when it comes to things such as AJAX and Web2.0 but it is also about the other things yet to be seen. I see social networks that serve all kinds of purposes popping everywhere. Commercial, private, open, whatever, they all agglomerate people in a very, very rapidly. […]
