The management of this Hotel gets an A plus for effort and friendliness My wife was allergic to the down pillows and at 10 p.m., the manager quickly obtained a foam pillow. The chef made an omelet to order for breakfast. The staff was very helpful. The service was first rate and the location near historic landmarks fabulous.

Although some may see 3 flights of stairs as a problem, it was not for us even at the end of a day of pavement pounding to see the sights. The whirtlpool in the bathroom and the well stocked (free) minibar were really welcome and unexpected touches.

Nice hotel. Good rooms. Did not have a lift but staff helped in all luggage transfers, even shopping stuff. Small breakfast, could have more choice. The pictures should have the small lobby, just keeps the expectations right :-) Service awesome. Rooms nice and big. great decor and toiletries etc.

First time in Istanbul. Had been advised to stay in this area and was not disappointed. Close to all sites and the Millenium Suites were right in the centre of a restaurant area so you did not have to go far to eat. All the people were friendly and helpful. And the Millenium staff always helpful and interesting to talk too.

We changed our itinerary to get to Istanbul one day earlier than planned and the hotel we had booked was full for this night, so we found good reviews on Millenium Suites and booked one night here. What a delight, and we wished we had had our 3 nights in Istanbul here. Millenium Suites is in the Old City of Istanbul in a street of hotels, cafes and restaurants, just a short walk from the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia etc. We arrived just before noon and were welcomed by the manager and offered welcome drinks (tea, beer, or wine), snacks and then whisked to our room. The only downside to this small hotel of just 8 rooms is there is no lift and we were on the 4th floor. But, this was a very tiny price to pay. Our room was massive, huge king bed, very roomy bathroom with big range of bath products, complimentary mini bar with beer and soft drinks, heavy drapes, peaceful and quiet. Breakfast was served outside and was pretty comprehensive - fried eggs to order, muesli (even!), the rest typical Turkish. We did a stroll up and down the street looking at the restaurants for dinner, but finished up directly opposite for a lamb casserole. Quite nice. We can recommend Millenium Suites if you want a great stay in Istanbul. We understand this is a relatively new hotel and the beds, bath products etc are what the owners like and use. Oh, and our heavy suitcases were taken up and down the stairs by staff - dont you do it, we were told. How nice.

There was a mistake with our reservation, so we had to stay the first 2 out of 7 nights in an other hotel close by(the quality of which was also good). They apologied for this and we were offered a free city tour of our choice as a compensation. Rooms spotlessly clean, all new and really spacious, breakfast very good w. selection of cheese and cold cuts, fresh fruit, omelettes made to order. Aufgrund eines Fehlers bei der Reservierung mussten wir die ersten 2 von 8 Nächten in einem Ersatzhotel in der Nähe verbringen (Qualität war absolut in Ordnung). Man entschuldigte sich höflich und uns wurde eine Stadtbesichtigung nach Wahl als Entschädigung angeboten. Zimmer tadellos sauber und sehr geräumig, Einrichtung ganz neu. Frühstück sehr gut und reichhaltiges Büffet mit Wurst- und Käseaufschnitt, frischem Obst, Muesli,frisch zubereiteten Omeletts nach Wunsch, etc.

we were delayed ,the driver of the hotel was still there to pick us up to the hotel,that was nice after a long ,bad and delayed flight. The room was extremely big & the bed was the most comfortable ever .We had hard time to wake up too. This also underlined many times by the other reviewers.Everything was clean & new. The bed was king size, that we couldn't reach each other on it ;) LCD TV was large (40"). Wi-Fi connection worked on all stages and really fast.Millennium Suites hotel was so outstanding I had to post this comment about it. came here as quests and left as friends in a short stay. We had a great pleasure while staying at Millennium Suites. This hotel provides everything to satisfy you,nothing is too much for them, great and fairly large and well-decorated rooms and really comfortable king size beds and perfect location,the street Akbiyik has really different atmosphere ,all people from all over the world there to have fun to make friends, walk to the main sights of old Istanbul and many nice and popular restaurants around

I booked this hotel for the location and I was not disapointed. It is located a few minutes walk from the Blue Mosque and all the attractions. We stayed 3 nights before traveling to Antalya and it was perfect. The Management and staff cannot do enough for you and they will always go the extra step to ensure you are well taken care of. After Anataly we stayed here again for 2 nights. Thank you Millennium Suites for an excellent stay at your fine Hotel.

Excellent new (3-months old) Hotel in Sultanahmet. We stayed there for 5 nights in the end of September. It has only 6 rooms, and has many good restaurants in the same street. Beautiful room, with a large bed, convenient and well equipped bathroom, tv and wifi. Otoman-style room furniture. Our room had also a small terrace. Everything very, very (spotlessly) clean. Very silent, a good place to rest. Good service and very nice and friendly owner and staff. The only thing that can be improved a bit is the breakfast, specially on the sweet side; they told us there was a plan to improve that immediately. Highly recommendable. We will be glad to return.

For a young family with 3 young kids, family rooms aren't easy to find at fair prices. This Riad has a great location and the family room was ok, but just ok. It didn't look or feel anything like as swanky as it was made out to look on the website. Perhaps for €225 you get what you pay for in Marrakech as there are plenty of more expensive Riads? There isn't a pool here as we had understood there was. You have to go to the nearby Riad Lotus Privilege. In the Late heat of the afternoon we were about to head over and were then told they convert the pool area for supper service so the pool wouldn't be usable. The team were courteous and helpful with bags, they can arrange an airport transfer for 200 dirhams each way, and they got up to serve an edited breakfast for us before our early departure at 7am. But after 2 amazing experiences earlier in our Moroccan week adventure up in Ourika Valley and then across to Essouira, this fells short of our expectations. Location is however a big plus. Your choice.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- In Marrakech just a stone's throw from Jemaa-El-Fna square and hidden away in one of the most ancient alleyways of the Old City. Whisper its name: Amber. The first of the Lotus Riads.

An original Riad whose welcoming atmosphere and subtle comfort fits in perfectly with our Lotus chain philosophy, always a guarantee of quality and outstanding service. ... more less

July 2012 Cyber Attacks Timeline (Part II)
Click here for Part I.
The Dog Days are nearly here. Weather forecast are announcing for Italy one of the hottest summers since 2003, and the same can be said for the Infosec temperature, although, July 2012 has been very different from the same month of 2011, which was deeply characterized by hacktvism.
Instead looks like that hacktivists have partially left the scene in favor of cyber criminals who executed several high profile breaches also in the second part of the month: Maplesoft, Gamigo, KT Corporation and Dropbox are the most remarkable victims of cyber-attacks, but also other important firms, even if with different scales, have been hit by (improvised) Cyber Criminals. One example for all? Nike who suffered a loss of $80,000 by a 25-year improvised hacker, who decided that exploiting a web vulnerability was the best way to acquire professional merchandise.
But probably the prize for the most "peculiar" cyber-criminal is completely deserved by Catherine Venusto, who successfully changed her sons' grade for 110 times between 2011 and 2012.
As far as the Hacktivism is concerned, although we were not in the same condition of one year ago (a leak every day kept security away), this month has offered the massive leak of the Australian Provider AAPT, with 40 gb of data allegedly stolen by the Anonymous.
Last but not least, a special mention for the cyber espionage campaigns, that had an unprecedented growth in this month: Israel, Iran, Japan, the European Union and Canada, are only few of the victims. Iran gained also an unwelcome record, the first nation to be hit by a malware capable of blasting PC speakers with an AC/DC song…
If you want to have an idea of how fragile our data are inside the cyberspace, have a look at the timelines of the main Cyber Attacks in 2011 and 2012 and the related statistics (regularly updated), and follow @paulsparrows on Twitter for the latest updates.
Also, feel free to submit remarkable incidents that in your opinion deserve to be included in the timelines (and charts).
What is a Cyber Weapon?
What is a Cyber Weapon? At first glance this seems an immediate question to answer, but should anyone try to analyze the meaning of this term more deeply, probably he would be quite surprised and disappointed in discovering that the answer is not so immediate since an exact definition has not been given (at least so far).
A real paradox in the same days in which The Pentagon, following the Japanese Example, has unveiled its new strategy aimed to dramatically accelerate the development of new Cyber Weapons. And do not think these are isolated, fashion-driven examples (other nations are approaching the same strategy), but rather consider them real needs in the post-Stuxnet age, an age in which more and more government are moving their armies to the fifth domain of war [you will probably remember the (in)famous episode, when F-Secure was able to discover Chinese Government launching online attacks against unidentified U.S. Targets].
Recently Stefano Mele, a friend and a colleague of the Italian Security Professional Group, tried to give an answer to this question in his paper (so far only in Italian but it will be soon translated in English) where he analyzes Cyber Weapons from a legal and strategical perspective.
As he points out "Correctly defining the concept of Cyber Weapon, thus giving a definition also in law, is an urgent and unavoidable task, for being able to assess both the level of threat deriving from a cyber attack, and the consequent political and legal responsibilities attributable to those who performed it". Maybe this phrase encloses the reason why a coherent definition has not been given so far: a cyber weapon is not only a technological concept, but rather hides behind it complex juridical implications.
Having this in mind, according to Stefano's definition: a cyber weapon is:
A device or any set of computer instructions intended to unlawfully damage a system acting as a critical infrastructure, its information, the data or programs therein contained or thereto relevant, or even intended to facilitate the interruption, total or partial, or alteration of its operation.
The above definition implies that cyber weapons may span in theory a wide range of possibilities: from (D)DoS attacks (which typically have a low level of penetration since they target the "surface" of their targets), to "tailored" malware like Stuxnet, characterized by a high intrusiveness and a low rate of collateral damages.
One could probably argue whether a cyber weapon must necessarily generate physical damages or not, in which case, probably, Stuxnet, would be the one, so far, to encompass all the requirements. In any case, from my point of view, I believe the effects of a cyber weapon should be evaluated from its domain of relevance, the cyberspace, with the possibility to cross the virtual boundaries and extend to the real world (Stuxnet is a clear example of this, since it inflicted serious damages to Iranian Nuclear Plants, including large-scale accidents and loss of lifes).
With this idea in mind, I tried to build a model to classify the cyber weapons according to four parameters: Precision (that is the capability to target only the specific objective and reduce collateral damages), Intrusion (that is the level of penetration inside the target), Visibility (that is the capability to be undetected), and Easiness to Implement (a measure of the resource needed to develop the specific cyber weapon). The results, ranging from paintball pistols to smart bombs, are summarized in the above chart.
As you may notice, in these terms a DDoS attack is closer to a paintball pistol: the latter has a low level of penetration and the effects are more perceived than real (it shows the holder's intention to harm the victim rather than constituting a real danger ), nevertheless it may be used to threaten someone, or worst to make a robbery. The same is true for a DDoS, it is often used to threaten the target, its action stops at the surface and usually the effects are more relevant in terms of reputation of the victims than in terms of damages done. Nevertheless, for the targets, it may lead to an interruption of service (albeit with no physical damages) and monetary losses.
On the opposite site there are specific "surgical" APTs: they have a high level of penetration with reduced collateral damages, they are able to go hidden for long time, but require huge investments to be developed, which ultimately make their adoption not so easy.
Of course, in between, there is a broad gray area, where the other Cyber Weapons reside depending on their positioning according to the four classification parameters identified… So, at the end what do you think? Do you agree with this classification?
Stuxnet, Duqu, Stars And Galaxies…
In few circumstances I happen to deal with my old (and short) career of Astrophysical. Except when I enjoy to tell my friends the history of the Hubble Constant, and my delusion when I discovered that its value is greater than 50 (most precise determination is 72 ± 8 km/s/Mpc implying a forever expanding Universe which will likely die of Entropy), the chances in which my current activity, information security, and my "would-have-been" career of Astrophysics overlap are really rare.
You may imagine how surprised I have been, when I came across this post by F-Secure concerning the Duqu malware and the images hidden inside the traffic generated by the malware and directed to the C&C Server.
Typically keyloggers try to hide the malicious traffic by resembling legitimate traffic, and of course the infamous Stuxnet-based keylogger is not an exception to this schema, by making the transfer look innocent in case somebody is watching network traffic.
Duqu connects to a server (184.108.40.206 a.k.a. canoyragomez.rapidns.com – which used to be in India) and sends an http request. The server will respond with a blank JPG image. After which Duqu sends back a 56kB JPG file called dsc00001.jpg and appends the stolen information (encrypted with AES) to the end of the image file.
Even if somebody is watching outbound traffic, this wouldn't look too weird.
Nothing new except the fact that Duqu components contain different JPG files. One of them is an image of the Hubble Space Telescope: NGC 6745 also dubbed Bird's Head (have a deep look to the image and you will discover why).
From Wikipedia:
NGC 6745 (also known as UGC 11391) is an irregular galaxy about 206 million light-years (63.5 mega-parsecs) away in the constellation Lyra. It is actually a triplet of galaxies in the process of colliding.
Why did they decide to insert an astronomical image? And why just an Image representing three galaxies colliding? A possible metaphorical reference to a cyber war between three nations? The curiosity has stimulated a funny contest by F-Secure even if no interpretation, so far, seems convincing (I also tried to brainstorm but unfortunately my residual notions of Astronomy are not enough, so at first Glance I was not able to find any correspondence.
From an information security perspective, I could not help but notice that this is not the only overlapping between Stuxnet and Astronomy. As a matter of fact the original version of Stuxnet is programmed to automatically switch off on June, 24th 2012: even if a remind to the alleged End of the World according to the Mayan Calendar is unavoidable, this date is also linked to the so-called Grand Cross, corresponding to the date that Pluto in Capricorn squares off against Uranus in Aries.
But there is also another funny aspect and coincidence: do you remember the alleged Stuxnet-like worm that Iran claimed to have detected on April 25 2011? Curiously it was called Stars, and although no evidences of the malware (and not even samples as far as I know) were collected, so that many Information Security experts stated Iran was crying wolf, again the malware was dubbed with a term recalling astronomy. At this point I inevitably (and joyfully) wonder if Stars derived its name from hidden stellar images as in case of Duqu.

Finally I Saw One!
Update: F-Secure posted in their blog the complete description on how the patient 0 was found: And here it is the infamous "2011 recruitment plan message".
Have a look to the fake sender: a message from beyond…
Original Post follows:
I am working hard for the August 2011 Cyber Attacks Timeline (stay tuned it is almost ready! Meanwhile you may check the previous ones) while I stumbled upon this very interesting article. Yes, I may say that finally I saw one of the Emails used for spear phishing attacks against RSA customers, using compromised seeds.
As you will probably know everything started on March 17, 2011, when RSA admitted to have been targeted by a sophisticated attack which led to certain information specifically related to RSA's SecurID two-factor authentication products being subtracted from RSA's systems.
Of course the sole seed and serial number of the token (the alleged information subtracted) is not enough to carry on a successful attack, so the attacker (whose possible target were presumably RSA customers) had to find a way to get the missing pieces of the puzzle, that is the username and the PIN. And which is the best way? Of course Spear Phishing!
And here the example of a fake spear phishing E-mail targeting one of the One of America's Most Secret (and Important) Agencies and in the same Time RSA customers:
Likely the same attack vector was utilized against three Contractors (RSA Customers) which were targeted by attacks based on compromised SecurID seeds between April and May (Lockheed Martin, L-3, and Northrop Grumman). What a terrible year for Contractors and DHS related agencies!
By chance today F-Secure revealed to have discovered the patient zero, that is the mail ("2011 Recruitment Plan") used to convey the APT inside RSA. Someone (who decided to follow the best practices for anomalous e-mails) submitted it to Virus Total, a cloud based service for scanning files, and it looks like that F-Secure antimalware analyst Timo Hirvonen discovered the e-mail message buried in the millions of submissions stored in this crowd-sourced database of malicious or potentially malicious files.
Original Source of Spear Phishing E-mail: http://www.cyveillanceblog.com, Kudos to @yo9fah for reporting me the link.
One Year Of Android Malware (Full List)
Update August 14: After the list (and the subsequent turmoil) here is the Look Inside a Year Of Android Malware.
So here it is the full list of Android Malware in a very dangerous year, since August, the 9th 2011 up-to-today.
My birthday gift for the Android is complete: exactly One year ago (9 August 2010) Kaspersky discovered the first SMS Trojan for Android in the Wild dubbed SMS.AndroidOS.FakePlayer.a. This is considered a special date for the Google Mobile OS, since, before then, Android Malware was a litte bit more than en exercise of Style, essentially focused on Spyware. After that everything changed, and mobile malware targeting the Android OS become more and more sophisticated.
Scroll down my special compilation showing the long malware trail which characterized this hard days for information security. Commenting the graph, in my opinion, probably the turning point was Android.Geinimi (end of 2010), featuring the characteristics of a primordial Botnet, but also Android.DroidDream (AKA RootCager) is worthwhile to mention because of its capability to root the phone and potentially to remotely install applications without direct user intervention.
As you will notice, the average impact is low, but, the number of malware is growing exponentially reaching a huge peak in July.
Let's go in this mobile malware travel between botnets, sleepwalkers, biblic plagues and call Hijackers, and meanwhile do not forget to read my presentation on how to implement a secure mobile strategy.
|Overall Risk
|Aug 9 2010
First SMS Android Malware In the Wild: The malicious program penetrates Android devices in the guise of a harmless media player application. Once manually installed on the phone, the Trojan uses the system to begin sending SMSs to premium rate numbers without the owner's knowledge or consent, resulting in money passing from a user's account to that of the cybercriminals.
|Aug 17 2010
This is the first GPS Spy Malware disguised as an Android Snake game application. To the victim, Tap Snake looks like a clone of the Snake game. However, once someone installs this app on a phone, the "game" serves as a front for a spy app that proceeds to run in the background, secretly reporting GPS coordinates back to a server. The would-be spy then pays for and downloads an app called GPS Spy and enters an email address and code to gain access to the victim's uploaded data.
|Sep 14 2010
Pornography lands on Android! This malware is a variant of SMS.AndroidOS.FakePlayer.A. The malware poses as a pornographic application whose package name is pornoplayer.apk, and it installs on the phone with a pornographic icon. When the user launches the application, the malware does not show any adult content and, instead, sends 4 SMS messages to short codes, at the end-user's expense.

Pornography back on Android! Third variant of the malware SMS.AndroidOS.FakePlayer.A. New pornographic application, old icon. Sends 2 SMS messages to short codes, at the end-user's expense.
|Dec 29 2010
First example of a Botnet-Like Malware on Android. "Grafted" onto repackaged versions of legitimate applications, primarily games, and distributed in third-party Chinese Android app markets. Once the malware is installed on a user's phone, it has the potential to receive commands from a remote server that allow the owner of that server to control the phone. The specific information it collects includes location coordinates and unique identifiers for the device (IMEI) and SIM card (IMSI).
|Feb 14 2011
|Android.Adrd AKA Android.HongTouTou
New Malware with Botnet-like Features from China. The trojan compromises personal data such as IMEI/IMSI of the device and sends them back to the remote side to react based on the commands from there. Similar to Android.Geinimi but with a lower profile (less commands)
|Feb 22 2011
New Trojan horse embedded on third party applications. It opens a back door on the compromised device and retrieves commands from a remote command and control server.
|Mar 1 2011

|Mar 9 2011
|Android.BgServ AKA Troj/Bgserv-A AKA AndroidOS_BGSERV.A
Trojanized version of the Android Market Security tool released by Google, on March the 6th, to remove the effects of DroidDream. The trojan opens a back door and transmits information from the device to a remote location. It shows more than ever security and reputation flaws in the Android Market Proposition Model. 5,000 users affected.
|Mar 20 2011
Trojan horse that elevates privileges on the compromised device, discovered on a Chinese language app available for download on alternative Chinese app markets. The app has the ability to root an Android device (by mean of the exploid tool called by zHash binary), leaving the device vulnerable to future threats. The app, which provides calling plan management capabilities was found also on the Android Market albeit this version lacked the code to invoke the exploit.
|Mar 30 2011
Manually installed from non-official Android Markets, the Trojan modifies certain permissions on the compromised device that allow it to perform the following actions: Access contacts in the address book, ccess network information, access the phone in a read-only state, access the vibrator on the phone, Check the license server for the application, find the phone's location, initiate a phone call without using the interface, open network sockets to access the Internet, read low-level log files, send SMS messages, turn the phone on and off. It gives a message to user trying to discipline users that download files illegally from unauthorized sites.
|May 9 2011
Android.Adsms AKA AndroidOS_Adsms.A
This malware specifically targeted China Mobile subscribers. The malware arrived through a link sent through SMS.

|May 11 2011
Android.Zsone AKA Android.Smstibook
Google removed a Trojan, Zsone, from the Android Market with the ability to subscribe users in China to premium rate QQ codes via SMS without their knowledge. 10,000 users affected.
|May 22 2011
A biblical plague For Android! Trojanized version of a legitimate application that is part threat, part doomsayer. The threat was embedded in a pirated version of an app called 'Holy ***king Bible', which itself has stirred controversy on multiple forums in which the app is in circulation. The malware targeted North American Users. After the reboot, it starts a service whichm at regular intervals, attempts to contact a host service, passing along the device's phone number and operator code. It then attempts to retrieve a command from a remote location in intervals of 33 minutes. In addition to having abilities to respond to commands through the Internet and SMS, the threat also has activities that are designed to trigger on the 21 and 22 of May 2011, respectively (The End of The World).
|May 31 2011
A brand new version of Android.DroidDream, dubbed DroidDreamLight, was found in 24 additional apps repackaged and redistributed with the malicious payload across a total of 5 different developers distributed in the Android Market. Between 30.000 and 120.000 users affected.
|Jun 6 2011
Android/DroidKungFu.A AKA Android.Gunfu
Malware which uses the same exploit than DroidDream, rageagainstthecage, to gain root privilege and install the main malware component. Once installed, the malware has backdoor capabilities and is able to: execute command to delete a supplied file, execute a command to open a supplied homepage, download and install a supplied APK, open a supplied URL, run or start a supplied application package. The malware is moreover capable to obtain some information concerning the device and send them to a remote server: The collected information include: IMEI number, Build version release, SDK version, users' mobile number, Phone model, Network Operator, Type of Net Connectivity, SD card available memory, Phone available memory. In few words, the device is turned into a member of a botnet.
|Jun 9 2011
Trojan Horse that attempts to send premium-rate SMS messages to predetermined numbers. When an infected application is installed, it attempts to exploit the udev Netlink Message Validation Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability (BID 34536) in order to obtain "root" privileges. Once running with "root" privileges it installs an executable which contains functionality to communicate with a control server using HTTP protocol and sends information such as Subscriber ID, Manufacturer and Model of the device, Version of the Android operating system. The Trojan also periodically connects to the control server and may perform the following actions: send SMS messages, remove SMS messages from the Inbox and dial phone numbers. The Trojan also contains functionality to monitor phone usage.
|Jun 9 2011
Android.Uxipp AKA Android/YZHCSMS.A
Trojan Horse that attempts to send premium-rate SMS messages to predetermined numbers. Again the threat is as an application for a Chinese gaming community. When executed, the Trojan attempts to send premium-rate SMS messages to several numbers and remove the SMS sent.
|Jun 10 2011
Andr/Plankton-A AKA Android.Tonclank
This is a Trojan horse which steals information and may open a back door on Android devices. Available for download in the Android Market embedded in several applications, when the Trojan is executed, it steals the following information from the device: Device ID and Device permissions. The above information is then sent to a remote server from which the Trojan downloads a .jar file which opens a back door and accepts commands to perform the following actions on the compromised device: copies all of the bookmarks on the device, copies all of the history on the device, copies all of the shortcuts on the device, creates a log of all of the activities performed on the device, modifies the browser's home page, returns the status of the last executed command. The gathered information is then sent to a remote location.
Although this malware does not root the phone, its approach of loading additional code does not allow security software on Android to inspect the downloaded file in the usual "on-access" fashion, but only through scheduled and "on-demand" scans. This is the reason why the malware was not discovered before.
|Jun 15 2011
Trojan found in alternative Android markets that predominately target Chinese Android users. This Trojan predominantly affects devices with a custom ROM. The application masquerades as a legitimate one and exploits a vulnerability found in the way most custom ROMs sign their system images to install a secondary payload (without user permission) onto the ROM, giving it the ability to communicate with a remote server and receive commands. Once installed the second payload may read, send and process incoming SMS messages (potentially for mTAN interception or fraudulent premium billing subscriptions), install apps trasparently, communicate with a remote server using DES encryption.
|Jun 20 2011
This trojan is automatically downloaded to a user's phone after visiting a malicious webpage that imitates the Android Market. The Trojan, which targets users in the United States by interacting with a number of premium SMS subscription services without consent, is able to sign-up a victim to a number of premium SMS subscription services without the user's consent. This can lead to unapproved charges to a victim's phone bill. Android users are directed to install this Trojan after clicking on a malicious in-app advertisement, for instance a Fake Battery Saver.
|Jul 1 2011
Repackaged and distributed in the form of "legitimate" applications, these two variants are different from the original one by re-implementing some of their malicious functionalities in native code and supporting two additional command and control (C&C) domains. The changes are possibly in place to make their detection and analysis harder.
The repackaged apps infected with the DroidKungFu variants are made available through a number of alternative app markets and forums targeting Chinese-speaking users.
|Jul 3 2011
|AndroidOS_Crusewin.A AKA Android.Crusewind
Another example of a trojan which sends SMS to premium rate numbers. It also acts as a SMS Relay. It displays a standard Flash icon in the application list. The Trojan attempts to download an XML configuration file and uses it to retrieve a list of further URLs to send and receive additional data. The Trojan also contains functionality to perform the following actions: delete itself, delete SMS messages, send premium-rate SMS messages to the number that is specified in the downloaded XML configuration file, update itself.
|Jul 6 2011
AndroidOS_SpyGold.A AKA Android.GoldDream
This backdoor is a Trojanized copy of a legitimate gaming application for Android OS smartphones. It steals sensitive information of the affected phone's SMS and calls functions, compromising the security of the device and of the user. It monitors the affected phone's SMS and phone calls and sends stolen information to a remote URL. It also connects to a malicious URL in order to receive commands from a remote malicious user.
|Jul 8 2011
|DroidDream Light Variant
New variant of DroidDream Light in the Android Market, immediately removed by Google. Number of downloads was limited to 1000 – 5000. This is the third iteration of malware likely created by the authors of DroidDream.
|Jul 11 2011
Android.Smssniffer AKA Andr/SMSRep-B/C AKA Android.Trojan.SmsSpy.B/C AKA Trojan-Spy.AndroidOS.Smser.a
|Jul 12 2011
Android.HippoSMS AKA Android.Hippo
Another threat found bundled with repackaged versions of legitimate applications. When the Trojan is executed, it grabs a copy of all SMS messages received on the handheld device and sends them to a remote location.
|Jul 15 2011
This threat is often found bundled with repackaged versions of legitimate applications. The repackaged applications are typically found on unofficial websites offering Android applications. When the Trojan is executed, it steals information and sends it to a remote server.
|Jul 15 2011
Android/Sndapps.A AKA Android.Snadapps
Five Android Apps found in the official Android Market share a common suspicious payload which upload users' personal information such as email accounts as well as phone numbers to a remote server without user's awareness.
|Jul 27 2011
Trojan horse which steals several information from Android devices (for instance GPS Location or Wi-Fi position). For the first time on the Android Platform a malware is believed to spy conversations.
|Jul 28 2011
Trojan horse that sends SMS messages to premium-rate phone number. When the Trojan is executed, it retrieves information containing premium-rate phone numbers from a malicious URL then sends premium-rate SMS messages. and attempts to block any confirmation SMS messages the compromised device may receive from the premium-rate number in an attempt to mask its activities. The Trojan also attempts to gather IMSI and location information and send the information to the remote attacker.
|Aug2 2011
This is a detection for Trojan horses that send SMS texts to premium-rate numbers. These Trojan is a repackaged versions of genuine Android software packages, often distributed outside the Android Marketplace. The package name, publisher, and other details will vary and may be taken directly from the original application..
|Aug 9 2011
It belongs to the same NickiSpy family. However, it is significantly different from its predecessor since it is fully controlled by SMS messages instead of relying on a hard-coded C&C server for instructions. In addition, NickiBot supports a range of bot commands, such as for (GPS-based) location monitoring, sound recording and (email-based) uploading, calllog collection, etc. It also has a check-in mechanism to a remote website. his threat is often found bundled with repackaged versions of legitimate applications. The repackaged applications are typically found on unofficial websites offering Android applications. When the Trojan is executed, it steals information and sends it to a remote server.

Even though i did not see much of Steph, as she came after dark and left early the next morning , she couldn't have been nicer or more appreciative. I hope she comes back.
Wonderful guests. Welcome back anytime!

After weeks of wrangling the American government is shutting down. Why? What is the shutdown all about? In a word, money.
The United States federal government shut down for the first time in 17 years on Tuesday, as Congress failed to end a bitter budget row after hours of dizzying brinkmanship.
Ten minutes before midnight, the White House budget office issued an order for many government departments to start closing down, triggering 800,000 furloughs of federal workers, and shutting tourists out of monuments like the Statue of Liberty, national parks and museums.
What it means?
Under U.S. law a new bill to approve funding for the next financial year is required, which must have been approved by the House of Representatives, and the Senate, and the president. This has yet to happen.
Why not?
In two words, politics and Obamacare. The core problem is that the Republican party controls the lower house, or House of Representatives, while the Democrats control the Senate.
Republicans have been pushing for the budget to include cuts to Barack Obama's healthcare bill. Key parts of the Affordable Care Act kick in on Tuesday, so this is a last-ditch attempt to thwart the legislation.
Early on Sunday morning, the House approved legislation that would delay the act by a year. The Senate has refused to meet to discuss it. It's deadlock.
Would the shutdown mean the entire US government grinds to a halt?
No, it's not an anarchist's (or libertarian's?) dream. Essential services, such as social security and Medicare payments, would continue.
The US army would keep operating, even if pay packets are suspended. But hundreds of thousands of workers at non-essential services, from Pentagon employees to rangers in national parks, would be told to take an unpaid holiday (full breakdown here).
This sounds unprecedented. Is it?
Nope. The U.S. government has shut down 17 times since 1977. However, it has not happened for 17 years, since the historic face-off between Bill Clinton and the Republican-controlled House halted services for 28 days in 1996.
Why doesn't it happen in other countries?
The shutdown situation is a product of the U.S. democratic system. The President is both head of state and head of the federal government, without a guaranteed majority in either of the legislative bodies where new laws are debated and voted upon (because Presidents, congressmen and women and senators are elected separately). The President can't simply ram laws through Capitol Hill.
How does the US shutdown row tie in with the debt ceiling battle?
They are separate issues.
The shutdown battle is about approving future spending. The debt ceiling is another problem facing Washington — America has a legal limit on its borrowing of $16.7tn dollars, and it's likely to hit that point in mid-October.
If a deal isn't reached, then America would run out of borrowing room, meaning the world's biggest economy would default on its debts. Both problems need solving — and a shutdown would eat into valuable time to fix the debt ceiling.
Why can't they just raise the debt ceiling?
It's up to the House of Representatives and the Senate. And you will never guess what the Republicans want in return (yup, cuts to Obamacare).
Is the shutdown going to cause a stock market crash?
Investors are certainly worried. A short shutdown of a few days probably wouldn't have much impact on the US, but if it dragged on then the row could quickly hit economic growth.
Moody's, the rating agency, calculates that a two—week shutdown would cut 0.3% off US GDP, while a month—long outage would knock a whole 1.4% off growth. Stock markets are down on Monday because of the risk of a US government shutdown and the danger that the Italian government may collapse. It's not a panic. Yet.

Outlook for the UK over the next 6-30 days
UK Outlook for Sunday 5 Apr 2015 to Tuesday 14 Apr 2015:
There will probably be a fair amount of cloud during the Easter period, however there will more than likely be a good deal of dry weather with some sunny spells, particularly over south and southwestern parts, and winds should be light. Some northern and eastern parts may be affected by isolated showers though, especially on Easter Monday. High pressure is then likely to remain dominant through to the middle of the month with a good deal of dry weather with some sunny spells likely, and with temperatures probably around average, perhaps just above during the daytime. However, northern and northwestern parts could see some rain at times with some windier periods too, although any rain should weaken as it edges southwards into other parts.
UK Outlook for Wednesday 15 Apr 2015 to Wednesday 29 Apr 2015:
From the middle of April it is probable that the high pressure will ease away, allowing a more westerly flow with conditions more typical for the time of year. As such some spells of fine, dry weather are likely, the best of these probably over southeastern parts. Occasional bouts of more unsettled weather with colder showery conditions should also be expected, more especially across northwestern parts. Temperatures are likely to be around normal for the time of year with marked differences from day to day, and with localised frost still possible.

text: Who is your favorite author? If you love reading books eventually you will come to an author that you have read more times than the rest. While this is not everyones yardstick for measuring a good author it is mine. I would then say my favorite author is Hideyuki Kikuchi. He comes up with an excellent fantasy world and runs wild with it. One of the best authors for me and certainly one of the greatest practitionars of the light-novel. Read Vampire Hunter D and you will see what I mean.

If you take a glance up at the sky, you might notice that the rolling blanket of grey clouds that we've become acquainted with for the past 6 months is sometimes briefly replaced with a flaming ball of hot plasma. That fact that we can catch a glimpse of it means the cosmic grip of winter is waning and spring is on its way to thaw us out.
This also means that St. Patrick's Day is almost upon us! To celebrate the Feast of Saint Patrick (and the fact that the Sun hasn't left us and ran off with some other planet like COROT-7b), we're running a little competition which could result in you getting your hands on some fabulous Irish whiskey!

Merry Christmas!
What a festive season it's been already! It's been my absolute pleasure to grant 56 wishes (one every day since 30th October), and that's not all! There have been plenty of other Christmas pressies, giveaways and special offers - a word on those Ask #WhiskySanta wishes first though... I received over 13,000 wishes in total and a big thank you to all of you for spreading the good word (#WhiskySanta was delivered to twitter timelines over 9.1 million times during the period!).

For those of you not blessed with omniscience or immortality, window 24 of Whisky Advent Calendar offers an exciting opportunity to taste some historic whiskies. And if you do happen to be omnipotent or immortal? Well it's still an opportunity to taste some jolly delicious whisky!
The Lost Distilleries Blend was named World's Best Blended Whisky 2014 at Whisky Magazine's World Whiskies Awards and does exactly what it says on the tin (or at least the bottle and handsome box). It's made up solely with whiskies from sadly now closed distilleries, many of whom have become legendary, with batch six containing malt from Port Ellen, Mosstowie, Caperdonich, Glenisla, Imperial, Glen Mhor and Brora, alongside grain from Port Dundas.

The number 23. No, not the 2007 Jim Carey movie that currently has a rating of 8% on Rotten Tomatoes (that'll learn him for playing The Grinch), nor the shirt number favoured by sportsballm'n Michael Jordan and Sir. David of Beckhenham. No, today the number 23 is all about the window we're opening on our Whisky Advent Calendars!
And behind that window you'll discover... The Macallan Amber! It's the second single malt in this Speyside distillery's 1824 Series of ex-Sherry cask matured non age statement whiskies. Each release in the range is named after its colour, the others being Gold, Sienna and Ruby. You may be thinking that Gold sounds more festive, but the dram in your hand is actually worth more than its weight in Gold. Ho ho oro!

Antarctica? Pah. They have land beneath their ice and snow, that's cheating. And all those penguins that a certain retailer seems to think have something to do with Christmas!? No, no, no. The Arctic, that's the place for me. Polar bears, reindeer, narwhals and Father Pugmas. North side massive.
In fact, it wasn't until Ranulph Fiennes popped by for tea a few years back that I gave much thought to the likes of Ernest Shackleton, who always seemed to have an unhealthy obsession with the wrong pole for my liking. Chose a great whisky for his men back in 1907 though did ol' Ernest, so I was delighted when Richard Paterson recreated it (twice) over one hundred years later! The Journey blended malt contains rare Glen Mhor (1980) and heavily-peated Dalmore(!) as well as whiskies from Glenfarclas, Mannochmore, Tamnavulin, Ben Nevis, Aultmore, Fettercairn, Pulteney and Jura.

Time for us all to open the 21st window of our Whisky Advent Calendars! And inside it's... a new look single malt Scotch whisky from Dufftown in Speyside. A whole new expression from Mortlach to be precise, a distillery that was founded back in the 1820s and you may know best from their 16yo 'Flora & Fauna' release featuring a Goldeneye duck. (James Pond, anyone?)
With past distillery releases few and far between, Mortlach (or 'duck massacre') now has its own shiny new core range! Time to jump in with Rare Old, which has a greater bourbon cask influence than you may expect alongside the more familiar Sherried spirit.

Day 20! There's really not long left before Christmas, is there? Hopefully you've been enjoying your Whisky Advent Calendars day by day and are ready for another lovely single grain Scotch whisky!
Today it's the turn of The Girvan Patent Still No.4 Apps from William Grant & Sons. I've got quite a sweet tooth, and as such quite enjoy this dram. It's not quite as sweet as a Penguin (biscuit) or a Snowball (cake???), which I do quite enjoy finding left out for me on Christmas Eve, but I think I'd rather a glass of this. And there's never been a better time to buy (or win) one than today...

'Twas six nights before Christmas, when all through the house.
Not a creature was stirring, except for a mouse!
Not just the situation in Jake from Master of Malt's home, but also in the homes of all those with Whisky Advent Calendars. In the latter case though, the mouse in question is fortunately none other than Douglas Laing's Timorous Beastie! A tongue in cheek name for a corker of a Highland blended malt that's created by the jolly folk behind one of my other favourites, Big Peat at Christmas. (Plus, I like his beard.)
Timorous Beastie is made exclusively with malts from Highland distilleries including Dalmore, Glen Garioch and Glengoyne!

Followers of That Boutique-y Whisky Company's batches of Arran single malt Scotch whisky will know that the label features Boutique-y illustrator Emily Chappell stranded on a desert island. Not the most festive of scenes, perhaps, except if you look carefully at Batch 4 you'll see that she's actually put up her Christmas tree!
An appropriate choice for day 18 of the Whisky Advent Calendar then! There's even some festive spice and warming rye-style notes in this batch, although it's very much still a charming Arran, and I'm rather partial to a charming Arran...

We just built a new home on 85 acres in West Central Idaho. When we moved here last summer, the grasshoppers were eating every living plant. I want to get the jump on them this year to keep them from eating my garden and flowers. Any suggestions? I prefer to garden organically, so would prefer not to use poisons, but if they get too bad, I'm willing to do whatever is necessary to get rid of them. I was considering ducks or chickens. Thanks for any suggestions!
Oddly enough, even though the grasshoppers are in epidemic numbers by the really dry days of summer, they don't do a lot of harm to my veggies or flowers. Maybe they prefer weeds????
Ducks and chickens are a good idea, but they like tender seedlings and fruit and some veggies too, so they have their own drawbacks. Chickens also scratch in the dirt, sometimes damaging or killing young plants.
Thanks Jeanne, Yes I had thought about the chicken's scratching, and since I will have a lot of roses, etc, with mulch, I hate to have the chicken's always scratching it out. I hope the grasshoppers will stick to other plants, but last year I moved several containers of herbs that they ate in several hours!
This is what my Dad says (he's done graduate work in this area so I trust his advice, but haven't tried it since I don't have a grasshoppers problem) -- use soil aerating shoes (or some sort of shoes with lots of sharp pointies) and stomp around in your lawn -or- get your soil aerated.
There is a good microbial insecticide that only affects grasshoppers and crickets. The protozoan Nosema locustae is sold under the names NOLO Bait, Grasshopper Spore, and others. This can be effective if you put it out early in the season, when you first see the tiny grasshoppers. It is not very effective on the big ones. Grasshoppers are cannibalistic and will eat dead ones, thus spreading the disease themselves. As it is perishable, you should try to order it when you think you will need it although it can keep for a while in the refrigerator.
Here is a link that might be useful: NOLO Bait

HAVE: African Oil Palms in Miami
I have many African Oil Palms to trade. Some in pots, but most in the ground. I can ship, but best to come and get them. I will dig them up fresh and you can get them in the ground the same day or the next. I planted within 24 hours you should get a 90 to 95 % survival rate. Some or all of the fronds will die back, but the plant will survive. I have pots and some in the ground that I moved to prove it.
In the fall I traded some with a person in the Tampa area. I think his name was Brian. He had a friend who wanted about 20, but chickened out because of the cold weather. It is now summer and warm, so I hope you will contact me. My computer caught a virus and I lost all of my E-address, so I can not contact you.
I have many sizes and many plants. If there are no takers, I will have to discard many of them this fall.
I also have other palms and plants.
I am looking for almost anything in trade. I like heliconias, gingers, and bromeliads.
Post or E-mail me at: email@example.com

The Firewood Gripper makes moving firewood with one hand a breeze. No more steep bending over and picking up logs with both hands. Take our advice and order two of them, because you'll quickly discover that it allows you to easily carry balanced loads in each hand.
