The transport union, Unite has revived its last year’s campaign for providing safer as well as more affordable truckstops for the drivers, to prevent them from becoming easy preys for the thieves and burglars.

Freight crimes have been reported to cause immense loss to the economy thus the union is urging the government as well as industry to take a collective step and protect the drivers safety by providing them with suitable over-night accommodations.

Len McCluskey, Unite’s assistant general secretary supported the findings of a recent survey report by lobby group Truckersworld, which show that there has been a 63% rise in cargo thefts from trucks, especially when the drivers take a break and park the lorries. He also added that the report gains further support from the narrations of haulage workers, who admit that freight crimes have increased over the years.

McCluskey said that driving a lorry is not an easy job and that the drivers deserve at least a good sleep. But facts suggest that most of the attacks on lorry cargoes happen at night when the drivers are sleeping. The only solution to the problem is to have better managed and safer hauling places, which are not only secure but cheap enough to fit the driver’s budget, said McCluskey.

Many users often complain regarding offensive ads. Several spyware ads make use of flickering banner or animation ads that are annoying. Often, pop up ads are pornographic and are displayed on a specific website. Hence, while children come across these sites, it can cause nuisance. In addition, perhaps, it goes against the anti-pornography laws in few jurisdictions. The way spyware/ malware is gaining in strength an updated anti-virus/anti-spyware/anti-spam module is better than wondering whether each piece is updated.

Keyloggers, as it is clear from the name of the program, log keystrokes –but that’s not all. They capture everything the user is doing — keystrokes, mouse clicks, files opened and closed, sites visited. A little more sophisticated programs of this kind also capture text from windows and make screenshots (record everything displayed on the screen) - so the information is captured even if the user doesn’t type anything, just opens the views the file. When unsuspecting users visit malicious sites, various nasty applications are downloaded and executed on their computers. Unfortunately, more and more often these applications contain keyloggers–software programs for intercepting data. Data loggers, key loggers are just a few programs which harvest info from your computer. Winclear is the only program created specially to auto remove such spywares. 73.

In recent days, I was one of the unfortunate persons to receive the “Mydoom” worm emails. Not just one, but at least forty appeared in my popserver mailbox. As frustrating as it was deleting all of these nasty little boogers, I realized that some of these “worm” emails even came from persons I knew - or so I thought I knew.

The problem with the “Mydoom” email worm is that it specifically targets email addresses with the following extensions:

• .htm
• .sht
• .php
• .asp
• .dbx
• .tbb
• .adb
• .pl
• .wab
• .txt

Furthermore, it sends “get” requests to target domains and uses direct connections to port 80. It will also attempt to send email messages using its own SMTP engine. The worm is successful by using a mail server that a recipient uses or local server as well. Some strings to these target domain names are:

• gate.
• ns.
• relay.
• mail1.
• mxs.
• smtp.
• mail.
• mx.

The “Mydoom” worm will have subject headings such as:

• “Returned Mail”


• “Delivery Error”


• “Status”


• “Server Report”


• “Mail Transaction Failed”


• “Mail Delivery System”


• “Hello/hello”


• “Hi/hi”

What persons need to realize is that even if you “know” the sender, you must make absolutely sure that any attachments are specifically clarified from the sender before you attempt to open these suspect emails. Most worms and viruses are spread directly through attachments. Unless you are expecting an attachment from a person you know, be cautious. Do NOT open attachments unless you are absolutely positive that your known correspondent has actually sent it to you. Another thing to remember is that the “Mydoom” worm ranges from 6,144 bytes to 29,184 bytes in size and can affect Windows 2000, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT, Windows Server 2003, and Windows XP. Luckily, if you have DOS, Linux, Macintosh, OS/2 or UNIX, your systems will not be affected by the MyDoom worm.

For those of you who share files through Kazaa, there is a new worm with aliases such as Worm.P2P.Apsiv (Kaspersky) and W32/Apsiv.worm!p2p (McAfee) and seemingly affects Windows systems 2000, 95, 98, Me, NT, Server 2003 and Windows XP. The damage profile has not yet been assessed, but it would be a good idea to steer clear of this one as well.

“Keylogger.Stawin” is probably one of the nastiest viruses as it attempts to steal a user’s online banking information. A Trojan is distributed through email messages with the subject line, “I still love you,” and has a “message.zip” attachment. Affecting the same vunerable systems as mentioned above, Keylogger records keystrokes and has the ability to steal personal, financial information. A few systems that Keylogger monitors are window titles such as “PayPal,” “Logon,” and numerous other window titles associated with banking logins.

Common Hoaxes

A popular hoax circulating the Internet is an email titled, “FREE M &M’s.” Sorry guys - no M & M’s here. More recently, you may have received the “Life is Beautiful” virus … er, hoax. The “Life is Beautiful” virus is not real and should be ignored. This is only a scare tactic that causes unwarranted fears and concerns.

In closing, the Internet is a massive electronical world filled with infinite bits of information. When using your “key” to this magnificent but vast window of versatile knowledge, it pays to use logic when distinguishing hoaxes from real threats such as viruses and worms.
