Na moim angielskim blogu napisałem o pewnej ciekawostce związanej z zagadnieniem poufności korespondencji i wycieku tajnych firmowych dokumentów.

News from Digg.com:
In building and shaping the site I’ve always tried to stay as hands on as possible. We’ve always given site moderation (digging/burying) power to the community. Occasionally we step in to remove stories that violate our terms of use (eg. linking to pornography, illegal downloads, racial hate sites, etc.). So today was a difficult day for us. We had to decide whether to remove stories containing a single code based on a cease and desist declaration. We had to make a call, and in our desire to avoid a scenario where Digg would be interrupted or shut down, we decided to comply and remove the stories with the code.
But now, after seeing hundreds of stories and reading thousands of comments, you’ve made it clear. You’d rather see Digg go down fighting than bow down to a bigger company. We hear you, and effective immediately we won’t delete stories or comments containing the code and will deal with whatever the consequences might be.
If we lose, then what the hell, at least we died trying.
This note is an outcome from user’s submissions consisting AACS code to crack HD DVD movies. At the beginning digg admins were trying to remove all codes from submitted links to avoid legal threats from music and movies companies. After huge negative response from users which eventually made digg.com website unavailable they decided to stop being censors and allow all codes to be published. The above quotation comes from digg.com blog.
The risk is huge. If any of big companies would like to remove this key from digg.com website probably whole site would have to closed down. The key is now in almost every new digg and every comment.

And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced.
But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird.
The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire
and thunder upon them. For the beast had been
reborn with its strength renewed, and the
followers of Mammon cowered in horror.from The Book of Mozilla, 7:15
The above is a quote from Firefox browser after typing about:mozilla into the address bar. Nice, huh? Totally wicked! More here.

Właśnie przyszło z Kaspesky’iego:
Google made itself a target for criticism this week by sending out a well-known email worm to more than 50,000 users of its Google Video service who were members of a related discussion blog group. The Kama Sutra worm was contained in several messages, which were distributed by Google to these users late on Tuesday. According to the Internet giant, “three posts were made to the Google Video blog that should not have been posted.” The problem has since been addressed and the offending messages removed. However, users who have received an email containing the Kama Sutra virus from Google have been recommended to run their antivirus software in order to remove the worm.
A co to takiego Google Video blog, to chyba wszyscy wiedzą. Natomiast nie wszyscy znają historię robaczka, który się przez bloga rozplenił:
The question remains open, however, about how the company had managed to send out messages infected with the Kama Sutra worm (also widely known as Nyxem) in the first place. This worm first reached the news at the beginning of the year, when it began circulating in the wild, luring users with supposed offerings of pornography or pictures from the Kama Sutra. It was seen as an “old style” type of virus that required significant user interaction in order to infect victim computers, and was intended to wipe certain types of files on infected machines, starting on 3 February 2006 and the third of each month thereafter. At its height as many as 600,000 computers across the world were thought to have been infected, but the worm itself can be easily removed by antivirus software.
Mam nadzięję, że teraz wszyscy rozumieją zalety posiadania kilku(nastu,set) serwerów by jednak skanować co się na świat wypuszcza.
