Some of you may recall last week the server which hosts the CastleCops wiki, German Wiki site and several other entities was shut down as a result of DDoS in order to prevent any ill affects to our hosts other clients. Some of those services have been restored while others are still offline. We are currently in the process of moving all CastleCops services which until now have been hosted at ApplicationX. This site and all of its holdings have become too large a target and we do not wish to see any further damage to other sites as a result of these attacks.

At approximately 1:30 AM July 8, 2008 CastleCops Wiki, German site, Hashes, Volunteer Blogs as well as other services were taken offline due to a DDoS in excess of 100 m/s, which was negatively impacting the ISPs other clients. Both the sites are still currently offline while servers are prepared for them at a new location.

Must Read: Important Announcement |
|

Greetings friends, I hope everyone is well. There is some exciting news I want to share.
Effective May 16th I have accepted a new opportunity as a full time Internet Safety Investigator for Microsoft's Live Consumer Services. My areas include investigations into phishing, spam, and other Live service abuses.
Managing the CastleCops network has come at a cost both personally and financially. Since I can no longer sustain the level of support required that makes CastleCops successful, I am working on finding new management and making the transition to them.
My family and I are very energetic and enthusiastic about these new changes in our lives. Going forward I will be operating as a Microsoft employee.
Thank you,
Paul Laudanski

Microsoft warns of security vulnerability in Apple's Safari. |
|
|
happyandyk writes "
Microsoft is investigating new public reports of a blended threat that allows remote code execution on all supported versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista when Apple’s Safari for Windows has been installed. Safari is not installed with Windows XP or Windows Vista by default; it must be installed independently or through the Apple Software Update application. Customers running Safari on Windows should review the Microsoft Security Advisory 953818.
An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by tricking a user into visiting a maliciously crafted Web site, which would initiate the download of malware without requiring the victim to take additional actions, according to Microsoft.

MBAM comes in two versions: a free one, and a paid one. Both are identical, with the exception that the paid version includes real-time protection. The paid version provides a lifetime license for use, updates, upgrades and definition updates without any yearly renewal.
According to the Staff at Malwarebytes, MBAM includes the following features:
- Updates are frequent, at least twice a day and often much more frequent.
- Response time to new threats is very fast, generally within an hour of when they are discovered.
- Scanner is very fast and even in quick scan mode can often detect all malware.
- Works on 2K , XP and Vista.
- Free version has full removal functionality, not a trial or crippleware .
- Works well with antivirus software, with only minimal conflicts; and, the free version provides a test to determine if loading the real-time protection will cause conflicts with other software.
- Pro version is very light on system resources.
- Detects and removes many rootkits.
- MBAM scan and removal app improvements come once a week.
