CSO reports on 1.5 million stolen Facebook IDs for sale.
A hacker named Kirllos has a rare deal for anyone who wants to spam, steal or scam on Facebook: an unprecedented number of user accounts offered at rock-bottom prices.
Researchers at VeriSign’s iDefense group recently spotted Kirllos selling Facebook user names and passwords in an underground hacker forum, but what really caught their attention was the volume of credentials he had for sale: 1.5 million accounts.

Once again I have some trouble with my backup drive today. The problem is that at any time the connection to my external hard drive gets interrupted. This is very bad if Time Machine, the backup software, is writing to the disk at the same time and there’s absolutely no rule when this appears. One more bad thing is that the system recognizes the lost connection but it hangs up until the cable is unplugged. It looks like the hard drive is going into a sleep mode but you can still hear the disk rotating. There’s a WD Caviar Green inside and after my research I’m sure that the case is the evildoer. This is a MacPower Pleiades 3.5″ FW400/USB I bought in last August.
These and those have the same problem with their Pleiades case and here’s a video of a guy getting nervous like me:
Cycling for three hours made me hungry.
This is the result of 4 hours painting working. The dot sizes represent the time the cursor wasn’t moved. This picture was captured with IOGraph.
And no I didn’t make thousand coffee breaks. One only need a keyboard and two fingers for programming and reading e-books.
Since the post frequeny became higher on my blog I was taking more often a look into my stats thus I had to experience a couple of high peaks during the last three weeks. Up to 200 uniqe visitors per day is a normal number but 500 is way too high.
I could explain the first two by posting the shortened URLs of some articles on facebook and twitter but I didn’t blog anything the past few days except the One Word A Day entries so the latest peak is absolutely nonsense. A closer look on the referers breaks the secret. It seems that Baidu, a Chinese search engine, is crawling my blog every fifteen minutes on some days but what for? There’s nothing too interesting stuff for them …
Do they expect pixel-encoded messages in the picture of my pi cake which I baked ten days ago?
