 | Just a heads up, noticing a small number of duplicate posts with the same time stamp since the changeover (only mentioning it as it's pretty rare otherwise - this is not an epidemic, just a handful of doubles) - see http://www.daniweb.com/members/1087776/Aiswarya1/posts for example. Interestingly, I note there's also a bit …  |
| | Dani, really loving the new look. It's freindly and welcoming, and importantly encourages contribution. For example, the 'be the first to reply' button is a great idea. I've not checked it out on the iPad yet, so may come back with a bit more negativity after that :) At the …  |
 | I wouldn't worry about it too much. Your overall post rating is 69% and you have 18 members who have uprated you compared to just 2 that have downvoted. If it keeps up, let us know and we will monitor the situation but, to be honest the anonymous nature of …  |

| | Within days of the New York Times website suffering an outage which was widely reported as being down to another cyber attack, although the NYT itself insists it was actually an internal issue following system maintenance, media sites belonging to CNN, Time and the Washington Post have been attacked by … |

What's more, the United States remains the number one source of all web attacks. Other key findings of the report include the startling revelation … |
| | Java vulnerabilities have hardly been out of the news during the last year. Here at DaniWeb we've covered a number of the stories as they surfaced: [Java in the cross-hairs: the security debate rolls on](http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/java/news/445532/java-in-the-cross-hairs-the-security-debate-rolls-on), [Is Java 7 still insecure?

 | Re: wifi hacking [DaniWeb rules](http://www.daniweb.com/community/rules) quite clearly state: **Do not ask for help to pursue any illegal activity including, but not limited to, hacking and spamming.** Please think carefully before going any further down this line of questioning, Arnel.  |

It's here: https://www.facebook.com/help/196050490547892/?q=verifiy%20your%20page&sid=0bjqQehHCn43ylXk5 The important bit for you is: "Keep in mind that not all authentic profiles and Pages are verified and that you can't request to have your profile or Page verified" |
 | Adding a 'favourite link' to everything posted is, if you think about it, just spam. Links are allowed in your signature, but read the rules about ensuring your posts have substance and are in context rather than just being vehicles to promote that signature. Likewise, links are allowed in posts … |

 | Scunthorpe! Revealing my age here, as I can recall when AOL filtered the town as being profane and prevented people joining from there :) Must have been 1995/1996 or thereabouts... [later] Look, we do the same!!! The town is S C U N T H O R P E in …  |
| | FireEye Labs has released a set of tools with the sole purpose of helping organisations detect and examine infections by the Poison Ivy RAT. Cleverly called Calamine, this collection of free tools promises to give security professionals the opportunity to identify the indicators of a Poison Ivy attack including the … |
 | I'd say that the question setter needs marks deducting for thinking that 'a games website' is plural. I'm not even going down the road of what a 'cummunity centre' might involve... Seriously though, were I marking that I'd be more impressed by someone thinking about the legal and security side … |
| | Research published today by data governance software developer Varonis reveals that, when it comes to the virtualized environment, security awareness appears to be something of a black hole. The [study](http://eu.vocuspr.com/Publish/517692/vcsPRAsset_517692_109957_85137914-8b53-4005-b292-0c87aa89763a_0.png) found that data security in these virtualized environments can all too often be totally neglected, and some 48% of IT … |
 | Currently, Susie and I have two dogs (a South African Ridgeback cross, and a Heinz 57 cross) and three cats. Khush, Teak, Pitch (a black cat), Mix and Lotty. I cannot remember a time in my life when there were no animals in it. |
| | Security researchers at ESET [have revealed](http://www.welivesecurity.com/2013/05/16/targeted-threat-pakistan-india/) that a prolonged and highly targeted data stealing attack aimed at Pakistan, using fake PDF documents, appears to have originated in India.

| | I interviewed a bug hunter at the end of last year for PC Pro magazine, so you might find some of what he had to say of interest. The interview is [here](http://www.pcpro.co.uk/features/378577/q-a-the-life-of-a-bug-bounty-hunter), and a broader feature about zero-day bounty hunters is [here](http://www.pcpro.co.uk/features/378574/the-zero-day-bounty-hunters). |
| | First there was a year of hype surrounding Project Natal, but the reality that is Microsoft Kinect has been in my family home for a week now. Everyone from my 10 year old daughter to my retired mother-in-law have played with it, so what's the verdict? Is this the future …  |
| | As Dani says, whenever we have tried to get the tutorials thing off the ground it just seems to fall flat thanks to no real interest in writing them from within the community. |

| | So, while I was away from the office last week a parcel arrived. A parcel containing the latest incarnation of the Parrot AR Drone for me to review for DaniWeb. Not mine to keep, just to play with for a few days. Which is probably just as well because, to …  |

| | A couple of years ago, a 17 year old was arrested for his part in a denial of service attack against gamers playing the online multiplayer version of Call of Duty: Black Ops. The teenager was accused of selling cheat software called 'Phenom Booter' which prevented others from playing (it's … |
| | Fast food chain KFC has had more than its fair share of Kentucky Fried WHAT? myths busted over the years. However, some of the stories turn out to be genuine such as the [breaded and deep fried kidney](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/07/ibrahim-langoo-brain-kidney-kfc_n_2425917.html) that was discovered by Ibrahim Langoo in a KFC in Colchester, England …  |
| | Could be related to current system tweaking efforts, but just in case: PM notifications are broken on-site. Email notifications coming through OK, but there are now no indications on-site of new messages without actually dropping into the Private Messages section itself. |
 | Agreed with Dani. Can't see why something you posted might not be as useful/interesting/worthy or equally annoying/pointless/wrong as it was a month/year/decade ago.  |
| | Was that: a) a failed attempt to ask a question or b) a failed attempt to post some spam ???  |

| | The whole culture of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) in the workplace has reignited the mobile device security debate. Although there are many ways to protect data, the first line of defence when a mobile device (be it a tablet or smartphone) is lost or stolen is almost always going … |

| | Back in December 2011, reports were circulating regarding a data breach at one of the big Chinese social networking sites, Tianya.cn that suggested the login credentials of some 40 million users were potentially exposed. Clear text usernames and password combinations were stolen by hackers during the breach, although a Tianya …  |
 | As Michael says, it's not all about 'amazing features' it's all about getting answers to questions and being part of a caring community. On the whole, I'd say, DaniWeb gets it right on both these counts. Certainly, for sure, 100% and with no doubt, the old vBulletin based system that … |
