Greetings Alec,
I followed the link to the site, in my perennial search for all things Vida,
my favourite model as no doubt you (and most regulars) are well aware. Nice
set but I've already got it, posted to the group by Vax not so long ago.
However, after flicking through the home page and onto the Vida/Solange set,
my firewall reported an unprecedented incident.. not so much an intrusion as
an extrusion. IE was trying to transmit on port 1086, something it's not
allowed to do. This was duly blocked.
Now, being of a curious nature, I wondered why this was. I think I may have
found a possible explanation, please check the details below, gleaned from a
recent edition of a respected UK computer magazine (probably subject to
copyright, so I'm not naming it).
Cookies have often been linked to Internet security problems. However, their
sinister sibling, the woozle, is much more of a worry.
These artefacts have been named after the beasts that nibble the fur of
unsuspecting teddy bears in Winnie the Pooh. Woozles behave in a similar
manner to cookies, but they tend to be paired with virus-like code. They
work by looking around for information such as email, passwords and
databases. Once found, this information is passed back through a TCP/IP
port, without the user's knowledge.
A possible and plausible explanation of the incident, correct or not I don't
know, but this is the first time the firewall has reported anything like
this. I'm not blaming yourself or krome for this, my gut feeling is that it
is more likely to be the hosting company in question but I would be
interested in your comments.
BTW, a salutary reminder to anyone reading this without a firewall or decent
anti-virus software - HELLOOO - thudthudthud - MCFLYYYY!
Regards,
Wintermute
