AT&T spam / globixlowerright.org
yg-network.org / Keyya Ltd domain scam
This is part of a domain scam that has been going on for years..
Basically the idea is to panic you into buying worthless domains from a dodgy Chinese registrar. Of course, there is no company actually trying to register these domains.. and even if there was there is no responsibility for the registrar to check trademark ownership (except in a tiny handful of cases such as sunrise registrations).
What's more.. I already own the .asia version of this domain name, so it is impossible that someone else is trying to register it.
So, this one is definitely a scam. Stay away.

Dear Manager,
(If you are not the person who is in charge of this, please forward this to your CEO,Thanks)
This email is from China domain name registration center, which mainly deal with the domain name registration and dispute internationally in China and Asia.
On July 30th 2012, We received Keyya Ltd's application that they are registering the name "[redacted]" as their Internet Keyword and "[redacted].cn "、"[redacted].com.cn " 、"[redacted].asia "domain names etc.., they are China and ASIA domain names. But after auditing we found the brand name been used by your company. As the domain name registrar in China, it is our duty to notice you, so we are sending you this email to check. According to the principle in China, your company is the owner of the trademark, In our auditing time we can keep the domain names safe for you firstly, but our audit period is limited, if you object the third party application these domain names and need to protect the brand in china and Asia by yourself, please let the responsible officer contact us as soon as possible. Thank you!
Best Regards,

xinthesidersdown.com injection attack in progress
There is currently an injection attack using a script pointing to [donotclick]xinthesidersdown.com/sl.php doing the rounds. The malicious code is hosted on 194.28.115.150, the same IP address as used in this attack yesterday.

Something evil on 194.28.115.150 and lasimp04risoned.rr.nu
The following domains appear to be part of an ongoing injection attack (using lasimp04risoned.rr.nu at present). They are hosted by black-hat web host Specialist ISP in Transnistria. Block the IP range of 194.28.112.0 - 194.28.115.255 (194.28.112.0/22) is a very good idea as this is one of the worst netblocks I know of.

"Hi, we think you may be entitled to compensation.." SMS spam
The PPI claim spammers are back again, this time using the throwaway number of +447969662555
If you get one of these, you should forward the spam and the sender's number to your carrier. In the came of T-Mobile, O2 and Orange the number to report to is 7726 ("SPAM"). Vodafone customers should use 87726 ("VSPAM") and Three customers should use 37726 ("3SPAM"). Hopefully the carriers will act if there are enough complaints.
Obviously they think nothing of the sort and are just randomly spamming, even to mobile phone numbers registered with TPS. Given that their pitch is based on a lie, it's likely that the whole outfit it some sort of scam in any case.Hi, we think you may be entitled to compensation of up to £3500 from missold PPI on a credit card or loan.

Facebook "Error message [404] 404 Not Found" email messages
This one has me scratching my head.. a series of emails this morning with subjects similar to the following:
Error message [404] 404 Not Found for m.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.[redacted].8100.100000762125833
Error message [404] 404 Not Found for m.facebook.com/pokes/?refid=7
Error message [404] 404 Not Found for m.facebook.com/home.php?sk=photodash
The emails appear to originate from a Yahoo! IP address, the sender's email address matches a registered Facebook account and in one case the URL in the subject links to a gallery from the same user. But I don't know who these people are, and the email address sent to is a rarely used one that has NEVER been used for Facebook.
In most cases the email is blank, in one case there is a photograph of a BlackBerry, apparently taken yesterday from a Samsung GT-C6625 (an oldish Windows Mobile device). The IP headers indicate that this is maybe coming through a mobile version of Yahoo! mail. An infected mobile phone perhaps?
It's all kind of odd, perhaps it is the precursor to something else?

Firefox OS: will it be safe?
Firefox OS is the new name for the "boot to gecko" project by the Mozilla foundation. It's a fully-featured OS built on a Linux core, and this is what Mozilla have to say about it:
This led me to pose the question in another publication: Firefox OS: will it be safe? Well, if you know Betteridge's Law of Headlines then the answer is probably "no".
We have been down this path before. ActiveX promised to allow the browser (in this case Internet Explorer) access to the system to allow it to do clever things. Yes, software authors could get their applications signed to demonstrate that they were trustworthy, but it was still a security nightmare. And despite the apparent death of ActiveX (when was the last time you installed an ActiveX component that wasn't Adobe Flash?) it still features prominently when it comes to patching.
And then there's Java. Java was meant to be safe because it was sandboxed from the rest of the machine it was running on, making it inherently safe. Fast forward to today.. and what is one of the most common vectors for malware infection? Yes, it's Java. Fundamentally the Java security model is broken, as the endless series of patches we see testifies to.
From a security perspective, keeping the browser just as a browser and limiting the interaction is has with the OS is the best approach. But the Firefox OS wants to turn that on its head. And while Mozilla will no doubt put in processes to try to ensure that it will be safe, the examples of Java and ActiveX show how difficult it can be to nail it down.
Why does it matter? There's a lot of hype about mobile malware at the moment, but in my experience it is still an almost insignificant threat. That will change though, as more and more smartphones and tablets are being used for financially sensitive transactions, and fundamentally a smartphone is just a small computer and it can be added to a botnet for evil purposes.
One last consideration is this - getting updates. As (mostly) Android users will know, OS updates tend to dry up shortly after launch leaving the underlying system vulnerable.. although Apple owners tend to get updates for a much longer time. Keeping on top of security threats will require Mozilla, the manufacturers and networks to co-operate closely to keep security updates rolling out. The Firefox OS model closely matched Android rather than Apple.. so Mozilla and its partners have their work cut out here too.
If you're interested, this article I wrote is a slightly different take on the subject.
The Firefox OS for mobile devices is built on Mozilla’s “Boot to Gecko project” which unlocks many of the current limitations of web development on mobile, allowing HTML5 applications to access the underlying capabilities of a phone, previously only Unix and Linux based mobile OSes available to native applications. Telefónica’s Digital unit joined forces with Mozilla earlier this year to take this work and showcase a new phone architecture where every phone feature (calling, messaging, games, etc.) is an HTML5 application.Wait.. what? Basically, the browser can interact directly with the operating system.. and this is being done at a time when vendors are trying to keep the browser as seperated as possible from the OS to mitigate against exploits.
This led me to pose the question in another publication: Firefox OS: will it be safe? Well, if you know Betteridge's Law of Headlines then the answer is probably "no".
