Banking Malware, Under the Hood 92
rye writes "What is your computer actually DOING when you click on a link in a phishing email? Sherri Davidoff of LMG Security released these charts of an infected computer's behavior
after clicking on a link in a Blackhole Exploit Kit phishing email. You can see the malware 'phone home' to the attacker every 20 minutes on the dot, and download updates to evade antivirus. She then went on to capture screenshots and videos of the hacker executing a man-in-the-browser attack against Bank of America's web site. Quoting: 'My favorite part is when the attacker tried to steal my debit card number, expiration date, security code, Social Security Number, date of birth, driver's license number, and mother's maiden name– all at the same time. Nice try, dude!!'"

One time when one of the lotteries' jackpot got really big, the local news did a "man on the street" interview. One guy said, "I figure my chances of winning are 50-50. Either I win or I don't."

I figure that my odds of finding the wining ticket (which was purchased by someone else) while walking the dog, or having it blow onto my windshield and stick while I drive down the freeway on my way to work are very close to me picking the right numbers if I were to purchase the ticket myself, so i don't bother to buy a ticket, I just wait for the universe to provide the winning one...
