ISP McColo Shut Down After Connection Found To Spammers

November 13th, 2008

Some good news on the spam/fraud front. McColo was shut down on Tuesday after it was determined they were a strong force behind both spam and fraud cases all over the internet. Of note was a significant drop in global spam since the shut down. Here’s an excerpt from the article:

Meanwhile, the report mentions that McColo hosted command and control servers for some of the world’s biggest botnets — incorporated networks of infected computers under the control of a remote attacker or cybercrime group. In one example, the report states that the Sinowal Trojan virus tracked by security company RSA was found to have originated from a McColo IP address. RSA researchers ultimately found that the Sinowal malware was responsible for the theft of about 500,000 online bank account and credit and debit card numbers.

Migrating from Fantastico to SimpleScripts

November 4th, 2008

SimpleScripts just added a new feature that will allow you to easily convert WordPress, Drupal, and phpBB to its system from Fantastico. If you like the day-of updates that SimpleScripts offers then this is a no brainer. Here’s a snippet from their website:

We have launched our automatic conversion utility! Currently only WordPress, Drupal and phpBB are supported, but several more are on their way. You can use it by visiting the WordPress, Drupal or phpBB installation pages (you’ll need to be logged in), and clicking on the “Convert a Fantastico Installation” link on the bottom of the page. This is a non-invasive process, so we won’t modify your files in any way. If your script is not supported, please read on.

How To Increase Blog Traffic

October 29th, 2008

We’ve added a new article about how to increase your blog traffic without spending any money. It has eight easy steps. Here’s one of them:

#4 Submit Your Blog to Feedreaders

Most blog services have the ability to create a “feed”. You might hear people talking about RSS, syndication, or feedreaders. Basically what this means is each blog creates a list of what posts have been added to it much like headlines for a newspaper. You can find sites out there like the Blog Directories which you can submit your blog feed or RSS to. If you do this they’ll pick up your headlines and people can then dig through them for interesting blogs. The best part about these feed systems is that most continue to check your blog for updates so once you’ve submitted it you can just reap the benefits!

WordPress WordCamp 2008

October 1st, 2008

Matt Mullenweg, one of the core developers of the WordPress blogging system recently was the keynote speaker at WordCamp, held in Provo, Utah on September 27th. His address was full of exciting news for bloggers everywhere including what they can expect this November and in the months to come. An excerpt before you move on to the full story:

Version 2.7 also introduces a number of major changes with one of the largest being the dashboard navigation being moved to the left hand side. This new navigation has expandable categories that can be viewed in real time when you click them (i.e. no waiting for the page to reload etc.) The right side of the default dashboard setup has a quick blog post and the center features an inbox. The dashboard still has stats and other dashboard features WordPress blog owners will be familiar with. The whole dashboard has been built in ajax which allows changes to be made on the fly. Users will therefore be able to, for example, drag a section in between columns to move stuff over and around as well as the ability to hide or show specific sections.

An exploited server that does not ensure that DNS responses come from an authoritative source could potentially cache incorrect entries and serve them to users who request them. An attacker could just create fake entries for files on a server they control with names matching the files on the exploited server. A user could then be tricked into downloading malicious code. Or…

Does Your Web Host Have Good Support?

September 5th, 2008

We’ve added an article discussing how to assess your soon to be web hosts support team. Here’s an excerpt:

Nothing is worse that spending money on support that isn’t always open when you need it and where you can’t understand the support personnel. And if you’ve ever had to deal with a long wait time while a critical feature or aspect of your company website is down you’ll know how important fast response times are. If your host can’t get to you in under a few minutes then you’d best be prepared for frustration on those days when everything seems to be going wrong. Fast, free, and intelligible support should become your mantra.
