For those of you who don't think about computer security (as much as I have to), I thought you may appreciate this :- OUCH, the free email newsletter that helps educate your users (and family and friends) about how to avoid phishing attacks and viruses and hoaxes. ************************************************************************ OUCH: The Report On Identity Theft and Attacks On Computer Users Volume 1, No. 9. September 8, 2004 ************************************************************************ Major threat this month: Phishing attacks that seem to come from Citibank, Paypal, Citizens Bank and US Bank Phishing attacks have been doubling every month. In a phishing attack, the thieves pretend to be sending you to a reputable site like Citibank and ask for your private data, so they can steal your money or your identity. Recent research reports that one in twenty people are fooled by these types of attacks, which is why the thieves keep at it. One of our goals is to make sure you don't get caught in the scams. Also this month, graphical spam is increasing. Spammers send you a picture of the offer instead of the text of the offer, so that your company or internet provider's spam blockers are powerless to stop them even if they use very bad language. The attacks discussed here are the tip of the iceberg. To be safe: 1. DON'T open email attachments from anyone unless you know the sender and you were expecting the attachment. 2. DON'T click on links in emails or web sites unless you can guarantee the email came from someone who is not trying to fool you and that the web site is actually the site you think it is. 3. DON'T disclose private information unless you initiated the need to do so. ************************ What To Avoid This Month I. Emails from people trying to get you to divulge private details. These are often trying to steal your identity (and your money) I.1 Maintenance Update (from Citibank) I.2 PayPal account limited I.3 Citizens Bank Fraud Verification Process I.4 Citibank with various subjects and possibly a time stamp I.5 Attn: Citibank Update I.6 "notice: US Bank" II. Opening attachments that have interesting subjects and provocative text in the body of the email. Several viruses (Beagle, MyDoom, Netsky) are still spreading rapidly because they fool you into thinking they come from a friend and have data you want to see. Remember: do not open unexpected attachments without checking with the sender to be sure the attachment is safe. If you break this rule, you will hurt a lot of other people - people you know - because your infected computer will send viruses to people in your address book. ****************************** More Details About The Phishing Attacks I. Emails from people trying to steal your identity (and your money) I.1 Maintenance Update (from Citibank) The bait: An email that looks as if it comes from Citibank saying the company "could not verify your current information," and asking you to update it. What it tries to make you do: Click on a link and tell them your credit Card information, social security number, date of birth and mother's maiden name. Where you can see how it actually appears: http://www.antiphishing.org/phishing_archive/09-02-04_Citibank_(Citibank.com_Maintenance_upgrade).html I.2 PayPal account limited The bait: An email that looks as if it comes from PayPal and says, "We suspect that your PayPal account may have been accessed by an unauthorized third party." What it tries to make you do: Click on a link and tell them your email and your PayPal password. Where you can see how it actually appears: http://www.antiphishing.org/phishing_archive/09-01-04_Paypal_(PayPal_account_Limited).html I.3 Citizens Bank Fraud Verification Process The bait: An email that looks as if it comes from Citizens Bank saying they suspect your account may have been accessed by an unauthorized third party. What it tries to make you do: Click on a link and tell them your ATM or debit card number and password. Where you can see how it actually appears: http://www.antiphishing.org/phishing_archive/08-31-04_Citizens_Bank_(Citizen_Bank_Fraud_Verification_Process).html I.4. Citibank with various subjects and possibly a time stamp The bait: An email that looks as if it comes from Citibank saying, they are updating their software and asking you to click on what looks like a real Citibank url. What it tries to make you do: Click anywhere on the image (the entire scam is a single image) and then provide a wealth of very private information ranging from your ATM card and PIN to your mother's maiden name. Where you can see how it actually appears: http://www.antiphishing.org/phishing_archive/08-27-04_Citibank_(various_subjects,_image-only_email).html I.5. Attn: Citibank Update The bait: "Click here" link in an email that seems to come from Citibank saying that they noticed one or more attempt to log into your account from a foreign IP address. What it tries to make you do: Click on a link and tell them your ATM card number and PIN and username and password. Where you can see how it actually appears: http://www.antiphishing.org/phishing_archive/08-26-04_Citibank_(Attn_Citibank_Update).html I.6 "notice: US Bank" The bait: An email that seems to come from US Bank asking you to login. What it tries to make you do: When you click on the login button, it asks for your ATM Card number and PIN. Where you can see how it actually appears: http://www.antiphishing.org/phishing_archive/08-25-04_US_Bank_(Notice_Us__BANK).html

BTW, check the site that Gio posted and search for 'fellatio'. I saw that site when it was live - bloody hilarious ....

Hehehe, I knew I should've saved this for April 1st !!!1 :D

"Kissy, Kissy"

But half the Wings West and Stillen jobbies are fibreglass copies anyway ! LOL

Well if it was in the glove box then I'd be tempted to drink and drive, and that's no good because I'd spill too much ! ;)

I always have a can in the boot, fortunately never had to use it yet though ...

THe MINES chip will be setup for Jap fuel, the SE one for UK fuel, so the SE one would probably be safer and would generate more power than the JWT. But what you now have to define is what you mean by 'best'. Anyway, you were asking about a US car, the JWT is setup for a US car on US fuel, so OK, but probably not perfect for European fuel.

The best all round is probably the JWT, but a custom mapped chip has the potential to be the best, if done well.

Or just disable Messenger ! Have you put XP service pack 2 on ? It's well worth it.

I'd like to pretend I'm clever but I'm just quoting from the manual :- Fuel Temperature Sensor The fuel temperature sensor, built into the fuel tube, senses fuel temperature. When the fuel temperature is higher than specified, the E.C.C.S. control unit turns the P.R.V.R. control solenoid valve ON and raises fuel pressure. Pressure Regulator Vacuum Relief (P.R.V.R.) Control Solenoid Valve The solenoid valve responds to the ON/OFF signal from the E.C.U. When it is ON, a vacuum signal from the intake manifold is fed into the pressure regulator. When the control unit sends an ON signal, the coil pulls the plunger downward and cuts the vacuum signal. System description The fuel "pressure-up" control system briefly increases fuel pressure for improved starting performance of a hot engine. Under noirmal operating conditions, manifold vacuum is applied to the fuel pressure regulator. When starting then engine, however, the ECU allows current to flow through the ON/OFF solenoid valve in the control vacuum line, openning this line to the atmosphere. As a result, atmospheric pressure is applied, restricting the fuel return line so as to increase fuel pressure.

Blimey, as if by magic the shopkeeper appears etc :)

Hello stranger !

Only reason I came to work on a Friday was to drive the Zed, I usually use my scabby old Xantia, but today I just felt I had to drive it again.

What the hell is he smoking, sounds like a hubbly bubbly to me !

Yes, I think it may do. The chassis flexes quite a bit normally, just try jacking up the rear offside then opening and closing the drivers door and boot !

Sounds like you've got a UK spec auto rad to replace a Jap spec auto rad. If that's the case it's not a problem, in fact it's a good thing because the UK spec ones have greater capacity/cooling area. There is no internal connection between the left and right oil cooling tanks, so you don't even have to blank of the unused pipes, but you can do so if it makes you feel better.

I was thinking more of changing the resistor, I doubt whether there is that much adjustment in the pots, but I could be wrong.

But you should be able to convert the speedo to a 160mph scale (I think)

Behind the drivers seat ? That's unusual ....

Mike, Can probably dig you out something. Does it have to be standard ?

The Series II is a different type of device. I think the cooling is a valid point (I hear that Series I's may die when the ignition is left on for a long time without the engine running to provide cooling), but having looked at the guts of a series I my guess would be that the main enemy is vibration. Moving it off the engine and onto the body may well help in this respect.

Oh, I'm sure he does ! ;)
