Latest tweetsFriends and I were arguing over whether SC2 South East Asia players will be allowed access into North American Servers. I was pretty sure Blizzard and IAHgames would be smart enough to do so, while quite a few of my mates were not convinced. Well, it’s now official, according to GameAxis. Are you going for the launch this coming 27th?
This is interesting. First of all, to have boot camps sprout out all over China for “internet addicts”. I’ve seen TV reports of these addicts given jabs daily but nobody knows what is contained in the jabs. And now this mutiny. Makes me wonder if these boot camps will ever open in countries like Singapore and Korea?
This geek saw the product demo for myself and was pretty impressed so I agreed to be listed as one of the talents/consultants on the site since it’s non-exclusive anyways. Not sure about the World’s 1st claim but they’ve already filed the patent it seems. Check out the worldwide release of Pepperconn’s “Social Media Groupware for Enterprises”:
- A major breakthrough in Enterprise Social Media Software with patent filed
- Groupware lowers entry barriers for SME owners and marketers to self-manage their own social media or digital campaigns (programs)
- Creates a new ecosystem of online talents and opportunities to monetize one’s talents
Singapore, 25 January 2010 – pepperconn LLP today launched the pepperconn Groupware, a collaborative software for enterprises to manage content and talents in social media programs where the goal is to engage customers, solicit feedback and generate marketing buzz on the internet. Such programs leverage on one or more social network (eg. Facebook and Twitter), the company’s blog and corporate website to aggregate user-generated content and grow its base of readers.
Typically, an agency will be appointed to manage such programs and to source for bloggers and talents – an option that is usually frustrating for both corporate clients and agencies due to a lack of real-time visibility, measurements of success, project management inefficiencies and it is costly for SMEs and marketers with tighter budgets
“It was from this frustration as a corporate marketer driving social media marketing campaigns at SingTel, Samsung and Nokia, that I Read more…

Symantec researchers have observed the public availability of source code for a Trojan targeting users of Skype VoIP (Voice over IP). The Trojan has the capability to record Skype calls and send the conversations via an MP3 file back to the attacker, essentially acting as a wiretap and compromising confidentiality of a Skype phone call.
The Trojan is detected by Symantec as Trojan.Peskyspy and can be downloaded to a computer by way of tricking the user with an E-mail scam or other social engineering tactic. Once a machine has been compromised by this threat, the threat can use an application that handles audio processing within a computer and save the call data as an MP3 file. This MP3 is then sent over the Internet to a predefined server where the attacker can then listen to the recorded conversations. Recording the call as an MP3 keeps the size of the audio files low and means there is less data to be transferred over the network, helping to speed up the transfer and avoid detection.
The Trojan is targeting Read more…

A friend’s twitter account just got hacked yesterday, thought this notice from Symantec is quite timely:
Symantec Security Response is currently monitoring the reported distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on Twitter and Facebook. Users visiting the Twitter and Facebook sites may notice a slowdown in service, or they may not be able to gain access to the site at all.
It is not known at this time if Read more…

As the April 1 payload delivery date nears for W32.Downadup.C (aka Conficker) speculation continues on whether the payload will be one big April Fool’s joke, or the equivalent of a cyber Pearl Harbor. While we can’t predict the future with certainty, we can look at the motivations of past Downadup variants to postulate that the payload will likely be something between the two extremes.
According to the Security Response blog post, if Read more…

This story was quite fascinating to me, although the find of Atlantis on Google Ocean turned out to be not so.
