Saturn storm is longest ever seen

Storm clouds – thought to be made of water – are thought to rise to the planet's surface from a depth of about 300 kilometres. Sunlight reflecting off the planet's famous rings is so bright that lightning itself can't be seen, but radio signals thought to arise in lightning bolts are observed (Image: NASA/JPL/Space Science Institute)

Storm and the Future of Social Engineering

Albert writes "Storm shows several key characteristics, some new and advanced. It uses cunning social engineering techniques — such as tying spam campaigns to a current event or site of interest — as well as a blend of email and the Web to spread. It is highly coordinated, yet decentralized — and with Storm using the latest generation of P2P technology, it cannot be disabled by simply 'cutting off its head.' In addition, Storm is self-propagating — once infected, computers send out massive amounts of Storm spam to keep recruiting new nodes."

Storm Botnet Subsides For Now

Stony Stevenson points out an iTnews Australia story about the decline of the biggest botnet of recent times, excerpting "The Storm botnet decreased to just five percent of its original size during April, but overall web-based malware levels increased by 23.3 percent, new monitoring data reveals. MessageLabs' Intelligence Report for April 2008 said that new malicious software removal tools aimed at removing Storm infections were responsible for the sudden reduction in Storm-infected computers." According to their estimate, Storm-compromised computers are now down to about 100,000 rather than numbers closer to two million.

Tracking down the Storm Worm malware

What is the current state of Storm Worm activity, how many infected IPs are found to host the malware on a daily basis, which are the latest domains used by the Storm Worm, and which countries have the largest infected population? You can easily find that out, if you keep an eye on TrustedSource’s Storm Tracker, a handy tool providing both, researchers and end users with a real-time overview of the current Storm Worm activity, of course, based on a single vendor’s sensor network as a sample of malicious activity. What are you some of the categories monitored by the service?

Long-term Observations Reveal Patterns in Saturn's Atmosphere

Reading something like this makes me hopeful that we're no longer in the infant stage of our understanding of our solar system: we've been patient and observant while growing in our knowledge. Scientists have discovered a wave pattern, or oscillation, in Saturn's atmosphere only visible from Earth every 15 years. This discovery was made only because we've been studying Saturn from ground based telescopes for about 22 years. Combined with the Cassini spacecraft's observations of temperature changes in the giant planet's atmosphere over time, we're gaining a better understanding of Saturn and discovering not only how unique it is, but also that Saturn has something in common with Earth. Our own planet has these oscillations too, and so does Jupiter.

Study Links Storm Botnet's Growth To Illegal Drugs

talkinsecurity writes "Researchers at IronPort today published a study which claims to have found the 'smoking gun' that links the rapid growth of the Storm botnet to spammers that sell prescription drugs illegally over the Internet. The study shows that more than 80 percent of Storm-generated spam is advertising online pharmacy brands, and further investigation showed that spam templates, credit card processing, product fulfillment and customer support are all being provided by a 'Russian criminal organization' that operates in conjunction with Storm. This criminal organization recruits botnet spamming partners to advertise their illegal pharmacy Websites, which receive a 40 percent commission on sales orders. IronPort went as far as to do pharmacological testing on the products, and found that two-thirds of the drugs contained the wrong

After grazing on Saturn's rings, Cassini moves in on moons

Washington - After delivering spectacular images of Saturn's rings in recent years, NASA's Cassini spacecraft turned its focus Monday to Saturn's moons and how sunlight affects the surfaces of the gas giant and its natural satellites. Cassini got a new lease on life earlier this year, when NASA approved the programme for another 60 orbits of Saturn and several dozen flybys of the moons Titan, Enceladus, Dione, Rhea and Helene.

MOVIE REVIEW: 'You Don't Mess With the Zohan': Watch out, he's packing a blow-dryer

Let me be blunt: "You Don't Mess With the Zohan" is the finest post-Zionist action-hairdressing sex comedy I have ever seen. That it is the only one I have ever seen — and why is that? what cultural deficiency or ideological conspiracy has prevented this genre from flourishing? — does not much detract from my judgment.

A Dream Deferred: Activism And The Arts

angston Hughes was 49 when he published that poem, back in the True-Man era. He’d seen some ups, and he’d seen a lot of downs, born soon after the War to End All Wars, growing up “Negro� in the crime-roaring twenties, and the soul-deep Depression. He’d seen the Labor Movement crushed by hired corporate guns and goons, and government of the mighty by the mighty saved by the “traitor to his class�—who was no traitor to his class! ... He’d seen another War to End All Wars and the holocausts of Hiroshima, Nagasaki and Dachau, and the beginning, of a “Cold War�--that was no Cold War!

Saturn Does the Wave in Upper Atmosphere

Two decades of scrutinizing Saturn are finally paying off, as scientists have discovered a wave pattern, or oscillation, in Saturn's atmosphere only visible from Earth every 15 years.

Saturn's Infrared Temperature Snapshot

Scientists have discovered a wave pattern, or oscillation, in Saturn's atmosphere only visible from Earth every 15 years. The pattern ripples back and forth like a wave within Saturn's upper atmosphere. In this region, temperatures switch from one altitude to the next in a candy cane-like, striped, hot-cold pattern.
